Photoshop Elements 7.0 Organizer freezes upon opening

I am so very frustrated. I have been using this program for onver a year. I recently started experiencing this problem. When I import photos fro a folder, the organizer shows "generating thumbnails" then freezes. I cannot use the organizer at all. I have to use my task manager to shut down the program. I thought I;d solved the problem as I uninstalled the programand then reinstalled it. It worked ok for a week or so, but then I had to import mor photos to work with and once again I am back to zero. I am using Windows XP and have 1.0 GB of ram...and 1.81ghz...my laptop has less GHz and works fine with PSE so I dont get it? This is the same syatem I've been using all; along and now I have an issue. Can anyone PLEASE help??

Try deleting the thumbnail cache, which may be corrupt, as described in step 5 of this FAQ:

Photoshop Elements 8.0 Organizer does not open

Have been using this program for sometime. Today, under file, I thought I clicked the print photos option. Then realized I did not want to do that just yet. Another menu had opened and without really looking, I clicked cance. When I did, elements shut down. When I tried to reopen, the welcome screen came up with the running bar at the bottom saying "Gathering User Info". It never really seems to finish. When I click on the organizer button, the program closes. After a reboot, I was able to open the organizer by using the "All programs", Photoshop, and then the welcome screen came up with the running bar on the Organizer button as well as at the bottom. Organizer opened. I was able to complete my task. Thought maybe there was an issue with the short cut. So I closed the program. Now, can not access Organizer from the short cut or the "All Programs" button. Is there anything to try before I uninstall and reinstall? And if I need to do so, will my tags still be there when I reinstall?

Computer was off for few days r/t bad snow storm, power outage and work schdule. When I booted back up, currently the organizer is working as it should. Thanks, for reviewing this with me.

I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC. I recieve error message: "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."

I was referred here by customer service. I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC. After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit." There is no place to enter the serial number.

All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.

When attempting to use Lightroom external editor program to edit a photo in Photoshop Elements 10, the photo does not open / appear on photoshop elements screen. I don't have any problem with this when using Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop CS. I'm using a Mac with Mountain Lion OS. Any solutions?

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs

I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs list. The program is installed but will not show in Open With programs.

Hi,
You don't say which operating system you are using so I'll assume Windows 7 for now - try this.
1) select the file that you want to open
2) right click on it and go to the Open With option but select Choose default program at the bottom of the list - the following should open
3) At the bottom of the list, there is Other Programs, you may need to scroll down. If PSE not in the list, continue with the following.
4) Use the Browse button to browse to the following (omit x86 if on 32bit system)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
I'm assuming that you want to open the image in the editor.
5) Uncheck the Always use... option, otherwise double clicking on the file would cause the editor to open by default.
6) Click on OK
PSE should now appear on your open with list.
Good luck
Brian

I bought a canon EOS Rebel T5i. It came with photoshop elements 11. PS won't open my C2 raw files and says my camera isn't supported by the software I have downloaded 7.4 dng converter and I still can't open the files. What do I need to do?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

I want to know if I can scan old photographs into the program and will it organize them?

I'm not sure I would answer the question that was asked with "YES". In fact, exactly as asked, I would say the answer is "NO".
Photoshop Elements does not organize your photos. Rather, it provides you with a set of tools to use for organizing, and YOU organize the photos. You can choose to use these tools, or not. You could also use the PSE Editor, without ever performing a single organizing task in PSE.

Hi,
Please try out following steps and see if it helps:
Enable the (Hidden) Administrator account on your computer. See Administrator account for more information.
Sign out of your current user account and log in as the Administrator.
Launch Photoshop Elements Editor and log in from the sign-in screen, using your Adobe ID.
If the editor launches successfully, disable the (Hidden) Administrator account you created in Step 1. See Administrator account for more information on disabling an account.

Photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, how do I fix this?

photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, How do I fix this?

Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
Select your catalog and click Repair. Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
Then for good measure, click Optimize.
If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog. If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails. Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.

I downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 now where do I open it?

I went through the motions of downloading Photoshop Elements 12 now where do I open it?

If no desktop icon create shortcut from "Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe" in installation directory ? Sorry, if you haven't installed as yet try "My Downloads" ?

Can you just try to re-install pse. If you have downloaded it from any source, try to download it again and then re-install it.
Thanks,
