Re: Premiere Pro 2 bootup

Tim said "The last thing you see on the screen may not be the problem"

This is in fact the case. It is displaying the last 'successful' load.

Look for "Plugin Loading.log" in a Premiere 2.0 folder on your system drive and open it in notepad. You will see from the 'Write_on.AEX' onwards ...

Loading C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Premiere Pro 2.0Plug-insCommonAEFiltersWrite_on.AEX
Loading from the registry...
The plugin has a PiPL.
The plugin was successfully loaded from the registry.

Loading VST plugins...

Scanning for the following file types: *.dll

It may not be the same as mine but it indicates that after 'Write_on.AEX' it looks to load VST but what it doesn't say as part of the .dll is the codecs (dynamic link libraries are what contain the codec drivers). Thats where I had my problem.
If you search these forums and the Adobe forums you will find it is covered in detail.

What I did was open the control panel and disable the audio codecs, confirm PPro would open all the way and the while PPro was running go and re-enable the codecs. After that PPro would open normally everytime. Didn't make sense then, still doesn't make sense now; but nevertheless I blamed it on Bill Gates.
