Photoshop Elements 6.0 Not Opening

Running Windows Vista on a Dell XPS M1530 laptop.
Photoshop 6.0, installed by Dell with purchase.
Photoshop 6.0 will not open wheh I click the icon. Just minutes before, the program ran fine. I shut it down momentarily and not due to any technical problem. When I tried to open it again, it would not. The "spinning circle" apppears for a few seconds next to the mouse cursor arrow but then it stops. I checked Task Manager and Photoshop is not running. I shut down the laptop and restarted it. Still won't open.
Then I went to see whether or not Premiere Elements will open. It started to (I got the screen with the credits and all) and then....nothing.
Very frustrating.....

Chris, you might need the patch available here:

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

    Purchased photoshop elements 6.  My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos.  It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
    I tried installing it.  It said it was installed, but it will not open.  Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer.  Did not work.  Tried to run it as an administrator.  Did not work.
    I have windows vista 64 bit.
    If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

  • My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open.

    My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Clicking to open, will not reveal the usual “edit” or “organize” choice windows. Only the main “edit” working window opens. In a moment, a smaller window within will also open. It states “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 running it on a Dell laptop with six gigs of RAM and a Core i5 processor.
    Should I attempt to reinstall? During original installation, the only thing I was not asked was to give blood! So, if reinstalling on the same machine is the solution, will Adobe allow this?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I have tried and failed.  It was loaded from disc just purchased at Best buy.  It loaded fine but will not start up at all.  I have looked for the launch program and tried other methods but no success yet.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 will not open. It gives an error message about a missing part of the program.

    I purchased a new HP Envy running Windows 8, with Photoshop Elements 11 preinstalled.  When I clicked on the icon the program would not open. It gave an error message stating part of the program was missing. The error message was in code and stated some parts of the program needed to run togeth, or side by side. Am I able to download a repair patch from Adobe customer support?

    Could you please attach a snapshot showing the error dialog?

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 will not open photo editor crashes every time.

    My elements 12 does the same thing I have seen written here over and over. Can not open editor, crashes every time. It is updated, reinstalled and administrator is set. Does anyone from Adobe read these boards?

    I asked you to try that because one thing that often happens is that the dock icon gets corrupted, and it's best to get the simple obvious problems out of the way first.
    What do you mean by "several students"? Is this in a classroom situation? Are these computers all on a school intranet together? We tend to assume here that you are talking about a personal version and a problem with your own computer, not an institutional installation, unless you specify otherwise.
    If this is your personal computer, the next thing to do is to delete the prefernces. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elemetns 12 paths
    and any lockfiles with the same names. To see the user library in 10.9, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in the library, go to the saved application states folder and delete anything in there for PSE.
    Repair permissions and try again.

  • Deactivate Photoshop Elements 8 - Editor not opening

    Hello,
    I have previously installed Elements 8.0 in my PC, and everything was working well until I changed the partition in my Hard Disk.
    Ever since PSE won't run. I run the Elements Organizer manually, and it works, but whenever I want to run the Editor it keeps telling me:
    "could not open a scratch file because the file could not be found."
    And, After clicking ok, another box pops up and says
    "could not intialize photoshop because the file could not be found."
    So there's one problem..I've tried deleting the preferences file (Adobe Photoshop Prefs.PSP) but still the same problem. The Organizer works but not the Editor.
    But actually, what I want to do is do a clean installation of my OS (Windows XP), but first I need to deactivate the working copy of PSE, which I can only do from the Editor (which is not opening!). How can I deactivate it?? Is there any manual way to do it without necessarily having to open the Editor?
    I am afraid that if I just format my Hard Drive and then reinstall everything, it wont accept my serial key. I have installed PSE in other machine, so I need this serial key to work in my machine.
    Thank you very much!
    Ricardo

    So, finally I called to Adobe Support, and after trying (without any positive outcome) to solve the error I had so that I could access the PSE8 Editor; they told me that it was not possible to deactivate PSE8 through the phone, and that if I had any problem, I should call again to the License Support phone number.
    I had previously installed PSE8 on other PC, so I was worried that I could not use the only activation I had left in my notebook. However, it turns out that after formatting my hard drive and re-installing Windows, I was able to reinstall PSE8, using the serial key I've got.
    It would be nice what sort of information is sent to Adobe when "activating" the software (it should be some kind of "unique" information from our PCs), so that next time we should not worry that much about deactivating the SW before formatting or reinstalling the OS, as long as it's the same computer (and that "unique" informatio still applies).
    Well, thanks anyway for trying to help.
    Regards,
    Ricardo

  • PhotoShop Elements 8 will not open

    I have been running PhotoShop/Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64 bit system with an ATI Radeon graphics card since last August without problems.  I have made no changes to my system other than Microsoft updates.
    Yesterday when I tried to open either I get an error message that the OPENGL32.dll file is missing on my computer, and to reinstall the software.  When I check the C/Window/System32 the opengl32.dll file is indeed there.
      - I tried restoring my system to a date prior to my last use of PhotoShop, this did not help.
      - I updated the driver for my graphics card to the lasted driver, previous driver update was from 10/2010.
      - I tried uninstalling both PhotoShop and Premiere and reinstalling PhotoShop only.  It still will not open, I just get a 'program not responding' and have to 'end task'.  If I try to open an image file using the 'open with' and select PhotoShop Editor I get the same OPENGL32.dll missing error message.
    Any other suggestions?

    I seem to have resolve the issue on my own with the help of the following link:
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/opengl32-dll-not-found-missing-error.ht m
    I tried each option and finally option 7 seems to have fix my problem.  After runing the sfc /scannow I am now able to access PhotoShop Elements 8 as normal.
    I hope this will help others that may find themselves with the same issue.

  • Photoshop Elements "Edit" does not open

    The "Edit" option in Photoshop Elements no longer opens (the "Organizer" option still works ok.)
    Suggestions?
    Sandy

    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Alternatively,
    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    - Disable any anti-virus software just to confirm if it is not blocking PSE Editor.
    In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Need help, Photoshop Elements 11 will not open anymore.

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 and will not open anymore, it hangs up on initial window with credits & version info. I tried everything I can think of, shutting down all the background programs, windows update, uninstalling & reinstalling the Photosphop. I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor and I even updated the Adobe from Editor to see if that would help but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    You say:
    it hangs up on initial window
    but then:
    I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor
    Does this mean the problem is with the organizer? If so, hold down the shift key when starting it and try creating a new catalog in the catalog manager that should open. If that works, go back to file>manage catalogs and try repairing and optimizing your real catalog.

  • Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

    I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5.  My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it.  When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......".  In the details is this line: 
    Dyld Error Message:
      Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
      Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
      Reason: image not found
    I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know.  I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0.  It made no difference, same error message.

    Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.  

  • Photoshop elements 12 will not open since updated Mac os to 10.10.2

    why can't 12 open? I updated to mac os 10.10.2.  And all 12 does is look for a scanner. will not open. Can anyone help?

    Did you trash the prefs after updating to 10.10.2
    Quit Elements.
    Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following Folder/files:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Re-launch Elements
    Also if you haven't updated, go to the help menu in Expert mode and install v12.1
