Elements 12 Photo Editor stopped working

I recently purchased a brand new HP with Windows 8. I downloaded PS Elements 12 from Amazon last month and a few weeks in, Photoshop Editor stoped working. I ended up uninstalling it then reinstalling and it worked great for a few days before the Editor crashed again. This pops up: "Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I am beyond frustrated. I am trying to get a photography career going and I don't have time for this. I'm not very computer savvy when it comes to issues like this and honestly have no idea what to do. I obviously can't keep uninstalling it. I also don't know if this is a Windows issue or Adobe. Please help!

I'm replying from my e-mail so I hope this works! Couldn't figure out how to reply on the Adobe discussion board. But I checked the updates and it said they're all up-to-date and to answer your questions, yes it crashes every time I try to open a photo. If I'm in the organizer then right click a photo to open in Editor that notification pops up. So yes, the organizer works just not the Editor.
As far as the admin rights, I right-clicked the icon and ran to do so if that's what you're talking about. Like I mentioned before, I have NO idea what the heck is wrong. If it's Windows or Adobe...all my friends say I should've gone with an iMac. Haha. Sigh

Photoshop Elements 11 - Photo Editor not working

The editor on Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working. I have tried to uninstall Photoshop Elements 9 and failed, this may have caused this problem. Is there a way to run a repair of the applicaiton? If not, will I lose what I have in my catalog if I uninstall and reinstall Photoshop Elements?

You won't lose any photos or catalogs by reinstalling (there's no repair install). However, before you do that, try restarting the editor while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Adobe photo shop element 12 photo editor wont work

@Hi I opened my adobe photo shop elements 12 and my photo editor isn't working... Can someone please help me...

Hi MegJT,
Sorry for the trouble.
If you are working on Windows
Please follow these steps:
Try to rename SLCache to Slcache.old in the following location
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
and
SLStore to Slstore.old
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
and Right Click on the Photoshop Elements 12 icon and run as administrator.
Let us know if this works.
Regards,
Sandeep

Editor stops working in Photoshop Elements 7.3

I am having probelms with the Photoshop Elements editor stopping working in Windows 7. It worked for awhile and worked fine in Windows XP. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling to no avail. Any ideas???

PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a year nowÉ

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

Try the licensing service update:

Installed Photoshop Elements 13. Tried to launch - "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working."

I downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 13 & Premiere Elements. I then launched Photoshop Elements Organizer and imported approx. 28,000 photos (including some videos). A window opened indicating that many of the photos had tags, and asking if I wanted to add the tags. I said yes, and the process began. When it reached 60% a window opened indicating that "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working", with the only option being to "Close program."
I've tried to open organizer several times, but it goes immediately to "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". I was able to open Editor, and tried opening Organizer from Editor, but encountered the same problem. Same when I opened from Premiere Elements.
I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled Elements 13 three times, twice using the Akamai downloader, and once using the Alternate method. It said installation completed, but when I opened the program, it went straight to the error "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working". These times I didn't get to import my photos or their associated tags.

I already checked that and I have the latest drivers for my printer. Thanks for the suggestion though. Dennis

elements 12 organizer has stopped working and premiere elements 12 gets msvcr80.dll missing errors

First deactivate the product(s) and then uninstall it from the machine using the procedure specifically for your OS. If in Windows and I suspect it is then uninstall from the Control Panel.
To deactivate the product you need to go Editor and then:
Help >> Deactivate
Please also make sure that you have your original CDs and /or DVDs handy including the necessary serial number as you will need them to install the product(s) again.
After uninstalling the products, you need to restart the machine before you start to install again.
You have created the backups of your sentimental photos, right? You need to just in case the machine causes more problems down the line.

I then found one suggestion that the problem might involve permissions. The suggestion was to right click PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe in its installation folder (which on my computer is at at D:\Photo\Elements 11 Organizer) and run Organizer as an administrator. This also failed.
I don't understand why running the exe from the installation folder would have worked.
I would have simply tried to run that exe from its real location :

My Photoshop 9 Stopped working I get the message "Elements 9 Organizer has stopped working"

My photoshop 9 program stopped working after using Adobe Premiere 9 to generate a slide show using Adobe Photoshop 9 organizer to place photos. The program crashed as I was attempting to burn a DVD. After this happened, I no longer could access the organizer in Photoshop 9. I get the message "Elements 9 organizer has stopped working" " A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close the program and notify you of a solution is found"
I tried unistalling Photoshop 9 and the problem remains.

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the Epson web site and also their technical help, they gave me their latest driver (which didn't work) but also said there were some issues with Apple's Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) and said I should get back to Apple. Not sure were this leaves me with Adobe Elements though - perhaps I should reinstall? Thanks again for your suggestion.

Elements 10 Organizer Has Stopped Working.

I recently purchase Adobe Elements & Premier 10 programs and both have been working well for about 2 weeks. Now, when I opene Organizer, the program loads and appears but immediately it stops working with the message: "Elements 10 organizer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but no change. The Editor in Elements 10 starts and works fine. I am running Windows Vista. Nearly each day I get a Windows update notice and install it. I also frequently defrag my hard drive. I am having no other issues with my computer.
I have tried a few of the suggestions from others on this forum but nothing helps. I have also tried the Restore feature on Windows but it never Restores for me.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

See if you can get to the preferences from Editor by clicking:
Edit à Preferences à Organize & Share
Then select Media Analysis and turn everything off by un-checking all the boxes.
Also try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen.
On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
Then click the browse button and navigate to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Then click Next; then click Finish
N.B. on 64 bit systems navigate to Program Files (x86)

Elements 12 organizer has stopped working on importing of files

I am running a brand new PC w8.1 fresh install, second install of elements and photoshop 12. when I am attempting to import my files in the organizer I am getting a consistant crash "Elements 12 organizer has stopped working". Need assistance to make this go away.
Background:
The crash happens while importing videos or photos (have not even gotten to the part to work with files yet)
I have tried to take smaller imports (less then a couple hundred files) but that doesn't seem to matter.
It is not crashing on a consistent file. Sometimes when I try again, it completes the import.
Brand new Dell PC 7i, 24 gig ram, amd advance graphics card (PC not the issue)
Windows 8.1 pretty much out of the box.
Tried to "rename" the psa file to psaold, (still crashing).
Re installed software, no change
Downloaded the latest updates for everything.
Webroot security
Thanks for any help you can give me, I hate to have to return the product but considering how unstable it is when everything is fresh, I cant imagine living with this.

Opening elements 11 photo editor

I cannot get my newly purchased elements 11 photo editor to open. I've tried opening it on the first pop up screen and I've tried opening it after opening the organizer side of the pop up. This is very frustrating and I have to pay to talk to someone on the phone!

I JUST BOUGHT IT AND INSTALLED IT. I have never had this problem with any adobe product. Just the thought of uninstalling it and reinstalling it makes me not happy. IT SHOULD WORK THE FIRST TIME. I don't understand how the main photo editing company makes a product that has this many problems. My elements 7 worked better than this crap.

Elements 12 Optimizer has stopped working

I use Windows 8.1
When I try to add music to my slide shows I get this message " Elements 12 Optimizer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I have contacted Microsoft who has investigated thoroughly the issue from their perspective. Their advice is what t I need now is for Adobe to tell me how to remove the add-in or plug in that's causing this crash."
I hope someone can assist as at the moment Photoshop 12 (which I have had for 2 months) is not doing what I bought it for.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 12 twice and have ensured that all the latest updates have been added.
Can anyone assist?
