Photoshop Elements 7 Crashes When Peak Files Are Generated

Have a PC with 80g HD, Pentium 4, 2g (400hz) RAM running Windows XP.  PSE7 generates peak files each time project is opened. When blue bar at bottom right of screen reaches 100%, Elements 7 freezes and must be shut down using Windows task manager.
I have copied the file from 340g ext. HD back to C drive (the location of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 program) and this has not resolved the problem.
I note that this appears to have been a common problem since 2006 (earlier versions of Photoshop) with Adobe.
Can anyone help.
Regards

Have taken screen shot but Forum site will not allow upload of 1.8mb image even though the initial message states "Image will be scaled to fit 2mb limit". Have edited shot to show bottom right of screen only (700kb) and scanned to PDF (895kb) but still will not accept images!!!
In the PRE 7 application the message beside the blue progression bar is "Generating Peak Files For ......" . When the progression bar reaches 100%, the program freezes.
Any suggestions

  • Photoshop Elements crash when I want to send a photo-email

    Hello, when I want to send photo-email then photoshop elements crash. What can I do?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    If you are on a Windows system, use Windows Explorer to locate the actual organizer - should be somewhere like this
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    If you are on a 32 bit system, omit the (x86) part.
    Right click on that file and choose "Run as Administrator" - then try the email.
    You need only do this once, you should be able to load normally after that.
    If you still have problems please gives us details of which step it fails at.

  • Pls help - Photoshop Elements crashes when switching media types

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help.  I just installed Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 on a brand new HP Pavilion system running Vista, 9 GB of RAM.  I then imported a catalog with ~18,000 photos and tags from Photoshop Elements v6 via backup from original system and restore to new HP system.  Worked like a charm.  Now I have the catalog open, and when I click on "View -> Media types -> anything else (Video, PDF, whatever)" irrespective of what I select, Photoshop Elements crashes.  The error message states, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Organizer) has stopped working.  A problem cause the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  Note this also happens when I use Ctrl-1 or other shortcuts.
    Has anyone else seen this?  I literally powered up the HP today, and loaded Elements and Premiere today, so it's not likely due to old software (eg I did not install Photoshop Elements 6).
    Thanks all!
    Ed

    Please delete the folder  C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer and relaunch to see if the problem vanishes.

  • Photoshop is Crashing when saving files

    Hello, I have been having some trouble saving files.  Sometimes, and usually with the first file, Photoshop will crash when I try and save a file.  It also happens when I try and open a file into photoshop.  Most specifically, when I try and open my watermark file (png).  I have deleted the preferences, and am working on a freshly installed version of Windows 7.  Here is the crash report I was able to retrieve.  I am usually not able to retreive this info, because in most cases, Photoshop just completely dissapears instantly.

    StackHash implies memory corruption.
    By and large, during software development, the number 1 reason I've isolated for that is problems in display drivers.  That's not to say it's the only reason memory could be corrupted, but it's more common than most people would think.
    What video card do you have, and what version of display driver?
    Does the problem persist if you disable OpenGL Drawing in Edit - Preferences - Performance (then restart Photoshop)?

  • Photoshop Elements 9: cannot install, files are damaged [Windows 8.1]

    I tried it with both downloading the two files from Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7 and Photoshop Elements 9 / Premiere Elements 9 Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, neither installation worked.
    When trying to install with the separate .exe file, it says that "An error occured while extracting some files, please check if there is enough space and if you are allowed to write in the folder." but there are 152GB free and I'm the admin.
    When trying to unpack first and then install via the .exe inside the .7z, it says "Error in "PSE 9\Data11.cab". The file ist damaged." and so are all the other files: listed as damaged.
    I downloaded the files multiple times and tried a lot: I reread all the "Very Important Instructions" on ProDesignTools and followed them strictly, did not find something in the "troubleshoot installation", downgraded Adobe Air to the version inside the .7z, set up a new user account on my computer (even though I installed Windows 8.1 only last week) , deactivated all tasks via msconfig, did a clean boot... installing failed every time.
    Once, I archieved to get the .exe working and it started to install, but at one point of about 75% an error occured, that "some files are damaged" and the process made until this point was automatically cancelled, deinstalled. It only took a few minutes longer until failure.
    But what else can I do? I already read in this forum that Pse9 + W8.1 worked for others. But it does not for me. So, are the files damaged?
    Thank you for any advice!

    Please check if the downloads are the full size, and not somehow truncated.
    PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.exe : 1.16 MB = 1,199 KB = 1,227,128 bytes

  • Acrobat 10 crashes when excel files are used in the Merge Files function

    When using the Combine Files into a PDF function of Acrobat 10, Acrobat constantly crashes the moment it encounters and excel file in the list of files to be merged. So far the only way to fix this has been to export the excel file, from Excel 2013, as a PDF and then merge with that, but that can't be the only solution. Anyone have any luck with this or is it just an innate problem with Acrobat 10 and Office 2013. I should also mention both Office and Acrobat are on their latest updates and this is on a Window 7 64 bit system.

    Acrobat X PDFMaker (involved in the "combine" process) does not support Office 2013.

  • Photoshop CS5 crashes when opening file/creating new file

    I can load up CS5 and its fine. I then go to open or create a file and it just crashes.
    Can someone help me please

    Photoshop uses OpenGL for some things that won't function if you disable it, but for the most part Photoshop will work fine.  Things you will miss include:
    Alt-right click and drag mouse gestures for changing brush size/hardness won't show you a preview of your brush size/hardness, just an outline.
    Smooth zoom and panning.
    Some 3D functions of the Extended edition.
    Some performance improvements in the display.
    Adobe has done a great job of making almost all of Photoshop work well without OpenGL, but I encourage you to visit the following site and download the latest video drivers for your card.  It may clear up all the Photoshop problems and possibly others you don't know you have yet.

  • Word 2008 crashes when pfd files are inserted

    I wonder if anyone at Apple are looking into the issue that seem to be confirmed by many reports in different forums: That Word 2008 do crash if a pdf document is inserted into a document saved in the .doc format - not the never .docx format.
    Some has advised to save the document in the .docx and then with one or more other applications open and save the document in other formats and eventually ending up in the .doc format with a working document.
    No fix has be reported to be launched soon from Microsoft. So what does Apple say?
    Although this might be a rather long shot I was wondering if the pdf issue in Word 2008 might have anything to do with the way Mac OS treats the pdf files? The Security Update 2008-005 from Apple dealt with pdf files - and might have changed the performance of other applications - or what?
    The security update said
    "CoreGraphics--CVE-2008-2322--An integer overflow in the handling of PDF files may result in a heap buffer overflow. Viewing a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through additional validation of PDF files. Credit to Pariente Kobi working with the iDefense VCP for reporting this issue."

    I understand your point, but please read the info on the security update that was inserted into my message - there seem to be something with pdf documents and security - and one might speculate if
    this might also affect applications ??
    But apparently you are a great expert and I'm not so ....

  • Photoshop Elements 8-Change of file format when saving deletes filename

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 since last May and have always been irritated that when I add text to a photo it always defaults to PSD format for saving.  I have gone to the preference options to see if I can set jpg as the default and it does not offer that option.  This means that every time I save after adding text I have to manually select jpg to get the format to change.
    Although this has been a pain, I have done it thousands of times as I have edited photos.
    My problem is that suddenly from one day to the next when I change from PSD option to jpg the filename disappears and I have to go back and manually type in the whole filename.  The only changes to my computer settings that I can think of that might have affected this is that Microsoft Updates had 2 updates.  First was Definition for Windows Defender-KB915597 and the other was Unpdate for Windows 7 for x64 based systems-KB97690.
    I saw a similar problem posted by sandwitch2 on Feb. 13th about PSE6.  99jon suggested the change to permissions of adding "everyone".  I tried this and it did not correct the problem.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.
    I have found Adobe's insistance on saving as PSD irritating to say the least in the past.  The inability to change this in preferences has made me very unhappy, but the quality of their product has outweighed the hoops they make me jump through until this.  Their search feature in support is pretty much worthless.  It either brings up nothing if you keyword is to limiting or brings up 200 responses if it if too broad.
    I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for over 6 years updating as new editions have come out. I am to the point that if I can't get this current problem fixed I am uninstalling Elements 8 and going to another software.  Adobe's proprietary requirements and poor support page are just too much of a pain to deal with.

    I was told that if I save in PSD if I send the photos to share with others only those with Photoshop Elements can open the files.  That is why I try to use jpg.  Is that true?
    Thanks for all the help from both of you,
    Bettye

    Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:
