Elements 5 won't open, error message "attempt to access invalid address" any solutions please.

I have been using this for years with other problems, however now it refuses to open. I have uninstalled and re-installed after restarting the computer twice. I also deleted every folder I could find with elements in the name to no avail. If I read a camera card elements get photos opens them into elements organiser but if I click the edit photos tab it refuses to open. I have windows vista 32 bit.

Hi Garry,
Yes, I did download PSE 8 and it did work.  However, the trial period has ended.  I have uninstalled PSE 8.  I have also unistalled PSE 5 and then reloaded it.  Upon completeion of the PSE 5 load, I tried to open the PSE 5 and the invalid address error message continues to display.  I am very sad that I cant get PSE 5 to work.  Can you help with more things I can try?  Please let me know
All the best

  • Reader error message attempt to access invalid address

    I posted my original question in the wrong forum.  When trying to open a pdf with reader I received a message saying "attempt to access invalid address.  Per the response on that forum I uninstalled reader and ran the programs at this link http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html  I then restarted the computer and reinstalled reader.  During installation I got an error message #150210.  More help?

    Hi Julie,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

  • Using Photo Elements 5 on 8.1 tried opening received message "Attempt to access invalid address"

    Been using PE 5 for several months on my new computer running 8.1.  Tried opening today and received the above message.  Uninstalled it and re-installed, still getting same message.  Please advise.  Thanks

    What is the size of your hard disk?  PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine.  Just a thought here.

  • I have elements 5 on a vista pc. Elements will not open I receive the message "Attempt to access invalid address". Ihave re-installed but still receive the same message. Any ideas please.

    Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions.  Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
    - Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
    Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
    To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
    Quit Photoshop Elements.
    Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
    Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
    Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
    I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try.  If it does not, take these steps:
    - Uninstall Photoshop Elements
    - Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
    - Reinstall Elements
    - Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch
    Good luck,

  • Received message "attempting to access, invalid address"

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0, Windows Vista
    Program opens to homepage, when I click on Edit and Enhance Photos I receive the following message "attempting to access, invalid address". I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled and I still receive the same message. How do you fix this? Thank you

    Those are definitely the symptoms of the licensing problem. I suggest printing out the instructions and installing the licensing patch again:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3750
    Installation Instructions
    After downloading a ".zip" file, use the operating system or a utility such as WinZip or PKZIP to access the file's contents.
    1. Download the attachment.
    2. Unzip/uncompress the file to a folder on the system.
    3. Make sure Acrobat is not running. If the system has any Adobe Creative Suite® 3/4 applications installed, make sure they are not running.
    4. Click the Vista Start button, enter "taskmgr" in the Start Search field and press Enter.
    5. Click on the Processes tab, then click the button "Show processes from all users".
    6. If the FNPLicensingservice process is running, click on it, then click the "End Process" button and confirm that the process should stopped.
    7. Exit Task Manager.
    8. Right-click the InstAS.exe file and select "Run as administrator." The Command prompt window should appear and display "Trying to install anchor service."
    9. Upon completion, reboot the system and launch.
    Let me know your comments.

  • Adobe Element 5 will not run if a firefox browser is open, give meassage "attempt to access invalid address" however it runs fine if browser closed

    I had this problem with Google Chrome and had to uninstall it completely. The problem occurred even if Chrome wasn't running.

    Sounds like a problem with Adobe Element, since it caused a problem with two different browsers.

  • Attempt to Access Invalid Address - Adobe Acrobat Reader XI or Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    My spec's:
    - OS: Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 64 bit
    - currently have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v 9.0.0 (works fine) - (AA9P)
    - Profile I am installing is an Administrator account
    - All A/V is turned off to include MS Security Essentials real time protection
    - MS EMET is turned off
    I have tried upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (AARXI) or the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (AAPXI), and keep getting the same debug message "attempt to Acess Invalid Address"
    I have UNINSTALLED AA9P, and THEN rebooted. I then tried to install AAPXI = same debug message. No errors were present during the installation and I also verified the MD5 checksum on the download, so that I getting a complete install package
    I then UNINSTALLED AAP XI, then rebooted.
    I INSTALLED AAPRXI, and received no errors during installation. Again, all installs are ocurring under a ADMINISTRATOR account with all security software disabled. Tried opening AAPRXI and get the same debug message.
    My OS has every available patch installed for both Microsoft and Third Party.
    Any suggestions on how to correct this installation?

    Still no solution to this problem. I went ahead and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI thinking I could always get refunded but maybe it was the trial version?
    I have since taken a number of steps to verify my computer was clean before I installed AAPXI
    -- remotely ran sweeps across my computer using Retina and Tenable Nessus = clean and all available/critical patches installed
    -- running Win7 Ultimate SP1
    -- running latest versions of all third party software (Java, Flash, etc.)
    -- Ran Sysinternal procmon to see if what was going on (will upload to adobe...tons of "NAME NOT FOUND")
    ---- in procmon, I filtered out most of the noise...just need an assist from Adobe Tech
    -- I used the tool above that Claudio Gonazlez identified and removed everything, even my entire Adobe CS4 installation =(
    -- Rebooted
    -- Double checked that all security software is disabled
    ** installed AAPXI with NO installation errors
    -- tried opening AAPXI but get the same error " C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe    Attempt to access invalid address"
    Any help from the community or Adobe? Been trying off an on for two weeks to fix this. Thanks

  • When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop (message reads "attempt to access invalid address" - what can I do?

    When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 at the same time. I get an error message which reads "attempt to access invalid address". When I stop running Firefox, I can use Photoshop again. What can I do?

    Which OS are you using? Because there have been some issue with Win7 and PSE4. Try upgrading to PSE8.You can try the trial version of PSE8.

  • Elements 4 "attempt to access invalid address"

    I had to re-install Win XP and when I re-installed Elements 4 I can no longer open a .jpg file by right clicking "open with photoshop elements". Instead I get the msg: "attempt to access invalid address".
    Assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    After further search on the internet I was able to find out the cause of the problem -- there is a conflict with my anti virus security BitDefender 2010. A solution can be found here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/lofiversion/index.php/t15247.html
    Most of the post refer to a problem with Elements 5 and 5.1 but the solution worked for my verison also.

  • Elements 5.02 - Attempt to access invalid address

    When I try to launch Photoshop 5.02 the welcome screen is displayed and I can open the Organizer, but when I attempt to open the Quick Fix or the other editor programs I get a dialogue box "Attempt to access invalid address"
    This problem is on my profile only as Photoshop works when another user is logged in to the PC ( OS: Vista Home 32bit) and was working ok until a few week ago.
    I have tried the following with no success:
    Reinstalled the s/w.
    Deleing the Photoshop folder from the AppData in my profile folder.
    Deleting the Photoshop registry entries from Current User.
    Searched the web for a solution
    I know that I could delete my profile and create a new one, but I would only do this if all else failed as I would loose other settings just when I have all setup the way I want it.
    Could anyone give me any pointers to where I might look to resolve this please.
    Thank you. Niall
