Reinstalling PSE when application can't be opened

PSE 8 running on fully updated Windows 7.  Installed for about 15 months.  Application wont open using any methods.  I have discs to reinstall but I can't deactivate the current version.  I am concerned that if I uninstall without deactivation I wont be able to reinstall.

Moving the discussion to Photoshop Elements forum.
However, you may try the below suggestions and check if that helps:
> Go to Tash Manager and end all the process starting from "PhotoshopElements" or restart the machine and try to launch PSE 8.
> Turn off User Account Control : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-user-account-control-uac.html

  • When I try to launch iTunes is says that the application can not be opened

    When I try to open iTunes it says that the application can not be opened, that the required folder can not be found. On my husbands log-on iTunes will open. I am so confused. Please help!!!

    Hello Keaton44,
    I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1408
    If you need to re download the movies you bought from iTunes you can do that free of charge with this article.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte

    itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
    there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
    infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??

    A few things to try:
    • Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
    • Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
    Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
    Get Info (command-I).
    Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
    You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
    Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
    Hope this helps.

  • This application can't be opened

    Hello.
    So I have been playing this game on my macbook pro for almost a year. Today, when I tried opening the app, it says The Application "NAME" can't be opened. I checked my trash but it wasn't deleted. I don't know what to do. Please help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Xcode application can't be opened

    Has anyone seen this error message when trying to open the xcode application?

    Thank you

    I would assume lots of people at one time or another. However without knowing your OS version and Xcode version there is no way to tell if anyone's experience with this applies to you.

  • Installed Applications can't be opened

    I have installed games and other stuff in my ipad and never had a problem opening them. Just recently each time I open some games it brings me back to my home and am not able to open the game anymore. Why does this happen?

    It sounds like the iPad is crashing when you open one of these apps. You can give this a shot.
    Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go of the buttons, and let the iPad restart. Then try one of the apps.
    If you try one app and you don't crash, go on to the next app and try it. If you don't crash, try the next app. It may be that one of the newly downloaded apps is causing the problem.
    If you find the app that is causing the problem, delete it and try downloading it again. You will not be charged again for apps that you have already purchased.

  • Why can't I open my BlackBerry Messenger?

    I'm having this problem with my BlackBerry. I don't know why I can't open my BlackBerry Messenger. I've tried to plugged out the battery and put it back in but still, I can't open my BlackBerry Messenger. So I did it repeatedly but I can't still open my BlackBerry Messenger. I read all about it on the internet and all they suggested is to back-up the BlackBerry Messenger contacts and upgrade the BlackBerry Messenger. I'd like to do that but how can I back-up my BlackBerry Messenger contacts when I can't even open my BlackBerry Messenger? So I tried downloading the BlackBerry Desktop Software. I connect my phone to it and I clicked on "Back up now". And now it's saved in my documents. But my question is, now that (I think) I've backed up all of my data, can I delete my BlackBerry Messenger and install/upgrade it and still have all my contacts? PLEASE REPLY ASAP.

    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRTKB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless networkPlease wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app2) Delete and Resend Service BooksKB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphoneIf you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletionKB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet ServicePlease wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.3) RebootWith power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support...only they can look at their network to determine why it's not properly communicating with your device.
    Good luck!

  • App can't be opened??

    I am trying to open a .psd file with Pixelmator (which I know it can do) yet it tells me that "The application can't be opened. -35" See the pic below for a pic of the pop-up I get. How can I fix this behavior? What might be the cause of it?
    http://drp.ly/1wRZ9D
    Thanks friends.
    Jim

    Are you opening the file with Pixelmator or are you double-clicking the file?
    If double-clicking, are you sure the correct application is associated with
    the file?
