Vista 64-bit issues "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"

I recently purchased Elements 8 and to this point have been unable to use the editor function.  I can "Organize" without complaint but when I attempt to edit a photo I get a message telling me that "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working."  I have attempted to uninstall and re-install and the result has been the same.  While researching online I see that there are a number of people that have this issue but have been unable to find any real solution.  Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash.   Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

It's very likely that your issues are unrelated to the fact that you're running on 64-bit Vista as opposed to 32-bit Vista.

  • Error message - photoshop elements editor has stopped working

    Hi - I've installed photoshop elements 8 twice, and I still get the error message "photoshop elements editor has stopped working" .  I can't seem to get beyond this point.  My system is Windows Vista.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
    This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
    Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.

  • "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"...message

    I am very very very new to this...and have had so much trouble I'm ready to ask for a refund!  After installing and watching tutorials and not being able to load any pictures to the 'organizer'...(my autoplay does not show the "Organize and Edit Photos" or show the Photo Downloader...I finally called Customer Service.  He told me I needed to uninstal and reinstall.  Ok..I've done that.  But it's still not on Autoplay.  At least he showed me where the file menu is on the 'organizer', so I could get some pictures in there.  But when I click on 'Edit Photos', I get the pop-up message, "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"....It never HAS worked....This thing just came out of the box today and has too many problems for a newby like me.  What is the problem?  Actually, there are the two problems.  HELP!

    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. Let me know if you have any comments.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working... how can I make it work?

    Hi.  I have just bought a new copy of Photoshop Element 9.  It installed OK, but when I try to open the Editor, I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem", followed shortly by the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 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".  The only option then is Close Program.  The Organizer has the same problem.
    Does anyone know how to get it to work?  It hasn't just stopped working, it has never worked at all.  If anyone at Adobe are monitoring this thread, please can you tell me what the problem is and how to sort it out?  I tried the Adobe call-back service but all I got was a computer phoning me up, and no person available.

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    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.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\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.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working

    I cannot get my elements to work.  The following message pops up when I go to the front "editor" page:
      "Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working".
    It's urgent that Elements works now - I don't have time to troubleshoot while I am editing 4,000 photos
    Thank you,
    Catherine

    This is the only way I have found to use PSE-12 since the "Stopped Working" problem appeared;  Perhaps Adobe can use this work-around to solve the problem:
    1. Press Shift and hold (until thumbnails appear).
    2. Open Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE)
    3. Select "My Catalog" or what you call it. (Note: I have PSE open Organizer directly.  I have 2 catalogs, My Catalog and Selling.)
    4. If you have 2 catalogs you must open "My Catalog" first.
    5. When the thumbnails appear you can release the Shift key.  You are in business.
    6.  To open the other catalog use File/Manage Catalogs, Select the other catalog and click Open. (Note:  If you open the secondary/other catalog first PSE will stop working.)
    This is a little more work to get started but I have been using it for 2-3 weeks now without the "Stopped Working" occurring.  Good Luck.

  • Elements (Editor) has stopped working...

    Hello all,
    I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 on my Windows Vista Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop last month and everything worked fine. Then suddenly, when I tried to open it today, the following error shows up:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 (Editor) has stopped working.
    I have scanned through the forums and have only noticed people complaining about the 'Organizer' not working. Has anyone seen this error?? Elements does not even start anymore. Right when double-click on the icon, a window pops up with the error above. Anyone have any ideas?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
    Sam

    have you ALSO had trouble with your printer/scanner/other device?
    i had the same problem, not knowing they were related til my friend showed me this:

  • My photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working, help!

    I am urgent need of asistence, I have recently bought the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 and it has ubruptly stopped working. The software has been working perfectly up untill this point. On opening the package either from the start or through an image, the software opens and the tools load, however a message then appears. "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". As an art student it is imperative that this is resolved promptly, please help

    Dear Barbara B
    Tried out your advice, unfortunately it did not succeed in fixing the problem.
    So back to square one I am afraid. But thank you very much for your help and if you can advise on any other solutions it would be greatly appreciated.

  • My Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working. How can I correct?

    My photoshop Elements has stopped working.  How do I correct?@

    This seems to be a big problem judging from the number of posts.
    I have elements 12 (previously 10) bought with a Premiere Elements package. This installed and worked well.
    My machine unfortunatley crahed and I had to do a system restore (from before Elemnets 12 wasw installed).
    Never mind - all other programmes re-installed OK
    Re-intalled elements package and Premiere Works - Organiser Works - but Elements will not load.........
    Tried unintalling and re-installing - switching off McAfee on install  - remaning SLStore to SLStoreOld (in programme files as suggested on one post) all to no avail....
    The funny thing is - having pinned the exe to the taskbar (Windows 7 Pro 64bit) - right click shows the last old images I worked on before the re-intall.
    It sounds like a licence issue.
    I cannot face hours in a support queue - Has Adobe resolved this yet????
    If not my only choice will be to move away from Adobe to get a programme that will actually launch!!!!!
    Any one with any answers to thsi much asked question? - Or at least any suggestions????
    Thanks

  • Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working...

    I have installed this program on my PC 4 times now and even downloaded the trial version and then put in my serial number on it but every time I try and Edit a picture it starts trying to load up the pic and then crashes and says Photoshop has stopped working..
    I'm using Windows Vista (unfortunately) but I've even tried running the program as administrator. Still same problem. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advanced

    Did you receive any error messages when installing the software?  You can have the Adobe Support Advisor review your installation logs.

  • Help:  adobe photoshop elements 9 has stopped working  (piece of poo)

    This was installed at Christmas for my daughter's use.  I just tried to run it as I now have a camera that will shoot in RAW format. 
    Now it just crashes when starting the editor.  I can see the editor start, see the brush/effects pallete on the top right (with the green ?apples?), but then windows throws the above error.
    The Organizer will run however.
    Environment: 
    Windows Vista 32 bit
    C:\Programs Files   (on SSD)
    D:\Users  (SATA)
    PSE 9.0.3 (20110328.m.11320)
    I have tried to run the ctrl-alt-shift and when the editor starts, and delete the preferences file.  This hasn't solved the problem.
    I have tried to launch the editor directly from the run command:  photoshopelementseditor
    What else is left?  Standard operating proceedure for  every other Windows Application:  reinstall?
    Thanks for any advise or direction!

    Tried to reinstall.  Turns out the folder C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Photo Creations\adjustment layers was set via VISTA to be owned by SYSTEM and couldn't be change ownered or permissions set to be able to write.    Had to boot in Safe Mode with the Vista security controls disabled, delete the entire Photoshop Elements folder, and it would install after that.
    D@#$ Windows.
