Harm Millaard May 6, 2010 12:12 AM (in response to Admiral Cook)Use Process Explorer instead of Taskmanager. Taskmanager is at fault here.

Admiral Cook May 6, 2010 12:15 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)So this is "normal" and Premiere is not eating more resources while this happens?

Harm Millaard May 6, 2010 12:26 AM (in response to Admiral Cook)That is strange, because I tried it with Process Explorer and when exiting PR, all the PR processes stop as expected. When restarting PR they return only to stop when again exiting, so I have no multiple occurrences showing at all. BTW, I have made Process Explorer replace Taskmanager, because it offers much more info in case you need it and offers a suspend option, that is not available in Taskmanager.

Admiral Cook May 6, 2010 12:32 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)This happens on my MacPro, but not on regular PC.
I had problem with the installation where it failed first time. Then I deleted Adobe folders from Program Files, Common Files, User AppData, then reinstalled with no problems. All works perfect now except this little problem occurs.

grabovicaha May 13, 2010 1:10 PM (in response to Admiral Cook)I have the same problem with Premiere Pro CS5. It just keeps creating new processes and when I exit premiere pro it does not close them. I have to manually kill them. It's not that much of a problem but something is definetly wrong. It bothers me. Has anyone solved it? Solutions?
Windows 7 64 bit

dbiando May 13, 2010 2:32 PM (in response to grabovicaha)I have the same problem and posted it in another message. The action also occurs with Soundbooth. I assume Adobe is reading these posts and will deal with this via a patch soon. Keywords here are "reading" and "deal with".

joshtownsend May 13, 2010 7:02 PM (in response to dbiando)happens to me sometimes. Can't figure why.If I don't close the extra instances then it makes any rendering unstable.

grabovicaha May 14, 2010 9:50 AM (in response to joshtownsend)Has anyone solved this?
Is it the problem in adobe premiere cs5 or is it our other software causing this?

grabovicaha May 15, 2010 4:24 AM (in response to grabovicaha)I've defregmented my discs with BitDefender's 2010 Total Security tune up option. Now it closes normally my premiere pro cs5 processes. It worked for me. Prehaps it would work for you people too.

dbiando May 16, 2010 11:15 AM (in response to grabovicaha)I have tried basic PC maintenance to fix the problem, including defragging drives. What else did the suite do to the machine besides defrag the drives?

12. Re: Several instances of Premiere CS5 in Task Manager
grabovicaha May 17, 2010 2:08 AM (in response to dbiando)I've installed newest drivers for graphic card nvidia version 197.45, and Intel Chipset Device Software for Intel® Desktop Boards. Thats all i've installed.

13. Re: Several instances of Premiere CS5 in Task Manager
dbiando May 17, 2010 9:37 AM (in response to grabovicaha)Thanks for getting back to me. I updated the video drivers to 197.45 and the process ends normally now. The release notes for this driver update indicate several changes for compatibility with CS5. So apparently updating the driver solves the process issue.

14. Re: Several instances of Premiere CS5 in Task Manager
snagson Jun 23, 2010 5:00 PM (in response to dbiando)Here it is, June 23, more than a month after the CS5 release, and runaway Premiere Pro CS5 processes upon exit are still a problem.
The solution is simple: be sure to kill all child processes and close all I/O upon exit. Don't leave any threads. Don't lose track of any threads. Don't leave anything polling I/O. Sometimes things take care of themselves. Sometimes they don't, and then you have runaway processes on exit as is happening here.
It's not a graphics card issue. It's not a defragmentation problem. It's a very basic bug seen in C, C++, Java, etc ... doing system I/O.
Ignoring this bug won't make it go away. Could we please have a patch?

16. Re: Several instances of Premiere CS5 in Task Manager
dbiando Jun 23, 2010 9:19 PM (in response to Admiral Cook)It has been some time now since I updated my video drivers, and have had no further instances of multiple Premiere processes running. Every CS5 app is rock-solid. I am using a good Nvidia card, but it is not one of the approved models for the Mercury engine. Possibly that has something to do with it. People running the approved cards may have issues beyond the video drivers.
