Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements Causes My Computer to Cut Out on Booting UP!
I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer running windows 7 64 bit. I did not appreciate the problems. The first time that I installed it the computer shut down as soon as it was loaded and from then onwards it shut down within seconds of the computer booting up into windows. I used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed. The computer kept on switching off after windows had booted up. Took it into the technician who thought the PSU was at fault and he put in a new unit. The computer then worked fine until I installed Elements 10 and again the computer switches off as soon as windows as booted up. I have again used system restore to take the computer back to before Elements 10 was installed, still it switches off shortly after booting into windows. What can I do to get things to work properly? I have a brand new computer that I am unable to use as a result of installing Elements 10. I am typing this on my old computer running Vista 34 bit with Elements 10 installed and all working well. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
I have had a similar experience - Elements organizer crashed and even when not running, my computer froze after a few minutes. My PC had never crashed before this installation.
I found a solution though...
After a little sleuthing using task manager, I found that all the memory in my system (4GB) gets suddenly hogged (within seconds) by the "Elements Organizer" process (3GB) ... I found the service correspponding to this process, "Adobe Active File Monitor v10", stopped it and set autostart to manual. My PC no longer crashes.
I think Adobe needs to look into this one - it has all the hallmarks of a nasty memory leak.
A couple of possible clues as to why certain systems don't take well to this service:
- I have a few very large video clips (2hours+) on my PC
- I installed trial products like light room, CS5 before settling on Photoshop+Premiere Elements - could leftovers after uninstalling cause conflicts?
- I have other video editors on my system that I don't use, like Corel VideoStudio and Sony Vegas.
Thoughts?

Which version of PSE? Older versions are simply not compatible. Only 10 and 11 are.

Install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to a new computer error
I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 in my computer before. Right now I'm not using that computer anymore and want to re-install the software to a new computer. I still have the redemption code but when I entered it, the software said it was redeemed by another ID before. Can you please provide me the download link or which ever way I can re-install the software to the new computer? Thank you.
The serial number that you received the first time you used the redemption code is what you need to complete this. If you did not keep a record of it then you might be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software. If not, I don't know what can be done since you probably didn't purchase it thru Adobe and they will not have any form of proof of purchase.
In case you need to contact Adobe support by chat:

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on multiple computers: invalid serial number
I need to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer in place of my old one. However, when trying to use the original installation disk, the serial number I enter comes up as 'invalid'. Is this because I've already used it once? If so, is there any way to still install Photoshop Elements 10 for the second time?
Contact serial number support by phone or web chat.

When I try to install adobe photoshop 13 on my computer it comes up with the following error message " This installer does not support installation on a 64bit windows operating system" error code 6. How to I recify this? TIA
You can try downloading the 64 bit version. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Im trying to re-install Adobe photoshop elements and it says failure to install
I would like to say that your customer Service is the absolute worst I have ever spoken to... I am having trouble re-installing my photoshop elements 4.0 on my computer. I just used it yesterday and went to re-install it today because my computer had to be restored to factory settings. I waited 10 min and the phone hung up on me. I called back and waited 30 min and then hung up because it was taking so long. Then called back, complained to the first rep, he transferred me to another rep who transferred me and I waited 52 min for a CSR to tell me that I need to go to forums.com. This is terrible..what is there job if they are just referring people to a forum. I would love to download 12.0 at some point but I do not have the funds at this time and the 4.0 will get the job done, but it will not let me download. I need this asap for my job. I am wasting valuable time from my job and kids w/ computer problems.
Thanks

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop to a second computer
I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to a second computer but it is telling me that it is already saved to a 2nd. This is incorrect, when i installed to the 1st computer i later had a technical failure and the computer needed to be shut down and then rebooted. I think when this happened the programme could have been lost and is now why it thinks its been used twice. Please can you advise me on what best action to take? As i need to use this programme on 2 different computers. Many thanks
You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues such as you describe.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on MacBook Air
I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 on my new MacBook Air, but have no cd drive. Is there a way to download this without a cd drive?
Trials of almost all software are available for download from the manufacturer's website. That's one of the reasons that the MacBook Air has no DVD drive.
Invariably the website trials are more up to date than the physical disk so you often don't have to install updates after the initial install.
Visit the website and follow the links. Or just use Google to find it. -

Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 on MAC 10.6.8
Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 (that I bought a while ago and never installed) on my MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo, OS 10.6.8.
When I insert the PS Elements Disk, a PSE page came up with Read me etc which I read. I clicked on the blue PSE folder and a window with Bootstrapper.dmg came up. I clicked on that and a window opened asking me to type in my administrator passsword to allow Setp to make changes, which I did, twice... and then nothing happened...
Is there something else I am suppose to do? OH, another mounted drive appeared in Finder with a long name... "EFBB...........". When I opened it, it had an assets folder and two .js files (whatever they are)...
What more do I have to do?I think I figued it out... But why installations instructions didn't come up when I inserted the disk was very annoying. And because they didn't, Adobe should post th installations instructions somewhere on their support site. Not here now, which is also annoying.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on two computers running different Operating Systems
Dear Customer Support Team!
I have the following questions and hope to get your soonest response:
Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version' of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
Thank you very much indeed.
Best regards,
Steven Setiawan.Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
Yes, PSE is cross-platform, anyway.
As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version' of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
You just buy a normal license as a download, if you so desire. This gives you a serial and a download option, the latter of which you then of course will not need and can simply input the serial in your disc install.
