1. Re: Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed
Harm Millaard Mar 26, 2011 7:30 AM (in response to sebrame)Something messed with some files or registry settings is my guess. I would try to reinstall the suite to see if that solves it. Initially just a repair install, but if that does not work, then a complete reinstall, with Cleanscript, may be necessary.

sebrame Mar 27, 2011 8:09 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to attempt the repair. However, if I have to do a reinstall, this will, strangely enough, be the first time I've ever had to do so, and I've been using PPro since 6.5! Guess I've been lucky.
So, since it may be my innaugural reinstall, is there a method for preserving all of my installed plugins and their respective registrations? Or do I have to totally reinstall all of them as well?

Now, while everything is working properly, buy software to make a complete backup of your boot driveHardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
.
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
.
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
.
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
.
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up -

JonOfAllGames Apr 21, 2013 9:00 AM (in response to sebrame)I've been searching/troubleshooting for days, none of the firewall, new shortcuts in folder, antivirus, you name it I tried it even wiped my system which seemed to work at first..
What did it for me in the end was I had Dxtory (a software recorder, for recording gameplay) running on startup, and somehow it interfered with only Premiere projects in Media Encoder, I could still import AE projects go figure.
Check all the programs you have running or use sometimes, if they have some sort of hook into other programs/deal with video/codecs this could be your problem too!
Thanks to everyone trying to solve this problem!
