Question

(0xc0000005) startup error. How do I fix this?

I just ran the most recent updates on my CC account and now when I try and open Premiere or After Effects I get this error message, "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application."

I can open all the other Adobe applications that I have loaded on my computer except the two I need most. I have a really important project due Friday but my troubleshooting (Adobe Cleanup Tool, uninstalling/reinstalling) have not fixed the problem.

What do I do?

Can I revert back to the previous version somehow? If I can, I cannot figure out how to do that.

Thanks in advanced for the help.

Kartika,

I resolved my issue by using the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.

All appears to work as normal again after I reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud.

Thanks

TRANSLATION: "Leave us alone, we don't care. Here, try this 'solution' which we know won't work."

 

2020, Dec 23, and my previously working CC has begun doing this. I'm screwed. My other PC no longer boots PS.

 

I hate you, Adobe. You deserve bankruptcy.

Hi adamv6623535,

Sorry for the trouble. It is a known issue, Engineering team is working on a fix. Please use a previous version.

Here are the steps to install: Install previous version of your Creative Cloud app

Thanks,

Vidya,

The link you provide to download/install previous versions is not all helpful since Creative Cloud 4.5.0.331 app dropdown menus do not offer an "Other Versions" selection. They only offer "View Tutorials" or "Uninstall".

AND, if you choose the latter, hoping for a path to choose which version to then reinstall, you're sorely disappointed.

Please provide a very clear direction on how to revert to a Premier Pro CC version prior to 12.1.1 for those of us for whom disabling Nvidia is not an option (e.g., using dual displays for workflow / creative development).

Hi erich44163315,

I have the same version of Creative Cloud(4.5.0.331) installed & I am able to install previous version of Premiere Pro using the same steps mentioned in the article.

It seems like your Creative Cloud is not activated properly or in trial mode. Please try the steps mentioned in the following article & check the issue.

Stop Adobe Creative Cloud from opening in trial mode after purchase

Thanks,

Vidya
