5.0.2 Will Not Launch The Organizer in Vista

I have Photoshop Elements 5.0.2 for Vista. It has been running great for 2yrs, then it broke. Repeated uninstall/installs have not cured the problem. Organizer will not launch and I get error message: The action you have requested could not be completed because the application is not responding. It may be loading or waiting for a response from you.
Can anyone help.Something clobbered Elements and I cannot get a clean uninstall/install. I even deleted remnants left in the /Adobe/Phtotshop Elements/ subdirectory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Many of these tips apply to PSE5 as well

  • Firefox 30 will not launch the ICA Application when using Citrix receiver 4

    When trying to launch a Citrix Application with Firefox version 30 it will not launch.
    There is no error message appears.
    If, you change back to Firefox 29 all works without issues.
    How can you get the new version to work Citrix Applciations and Citrix receiver 4.1

    The fix for me was to update to the latest version of Citrix Receiver (4.1.0.56461) and then change the plugin settings for Citrix in the about:addons sections from "ask to activate" to "always activate". All working again for me now :)

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

    I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem.  It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista.  We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work.  We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch.  Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks, Dean

    What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

  • Edit function of Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch, suggestions?

    When the "edit" buttion is selected it simply times out/resets itself and will not launch the application however, the organizer still seems to be functioning.

    If PSE8 uses an Unwelcome Screen, bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • IE 9 and 10 will not launch flash player

    This is in regards to my desktop.  About three weeks ago I started having issues with the Flash Player not working when called upon by a website as an add-on to IE 10. So I called Microsoft Support and they did all manner of system restore and now the computer is all hosed up.  One of the things they did do was uninstall IE 10 and reinstall IE 9.  While IE 9 was more stable, IE 9 will not launch the Flash Player either when prompted by a web site.   Flash Player WILL launch if I use Chrome or Firefox. The solution that everyone throws my way is not to use IE, but that doesn't fix the issue of getting IE 9 to luanch the flash player when called upon by a web site. Microsoft seems bamboozled by this and their tech support overseas has no idea how to fix this short of a clean install and startiong over from scratch - which seems like the most likely scenario.  My desk top is running Windows 7 - build 1.  IE Explorer is version 9.0.17.  The machine is a 64 bit Intel Core i7 CPU with 870 at 2.93 Ghz.  AV is ESET, udated, runs everyday.  I have tried putting sites on the on the pop-up blocker allow list and have shut Microft's pop-up block oiff completly with no behavioral change form the computer. I have also disable all of the add-ons and re-enable them, with no change. The most recent version of Flash Player is the one I installed this morning from the adobe web site.

  • Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch

    Just upgraded Photoshop and now it will not launch.

    The rule of thumb I follow says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open.  I have seen the scratch file exceed 300 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
    As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS.  I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
    Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.
    The scratch often exceeds 300 GB when working with very large pano shot, for instance; and in one extreme case I've seen it grow to over 800 GB.

  • I reinstalled photoshop elements 9. Now the organizer will not launch. Why not?

    I reecently reinstalled photoshop elements 9. Now the organizer will not launch.Why not?

    I am assuming you are using welcome screen to launch either Organizer and nothing is happening for you.
    Open task manager and check under process tab is there any process named elements organizer.exe is running, if so end the process and relaunch the PSE again.
    Also, Please let us know are you able to lauch Organizer/Editor from there exe's or you are facing the same issue. The paths are-
    Organizer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe

    What all Adobe applications are installed on your machine?
    Try launching the Editor from its installation location:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    Does it launch fine from there?
    If yes, then as a workaround, you can simply create a shortcut of this .exe on desktop by right click and choosing the option of Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut).

  • Elements 12 Organizer running on Windows 7 will not launch

    I have Elements 12 for over six months and it has been working fine.
    I have used Photo editor several times today without a problem.
    When I try to launch organizer either from within Editor or from the welcome screen it will not launch.
    It appears to being going through the motions but never opens.
    I am open to all suggestions at this point.
    Thank you.

    Try making a direct shortcut to the Organize executable.
    Right-click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut – navigate to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer
    Choose PhotoshopElementsOrganizer with the gray program icon (not Photoshop Elements 12.0 with a blue program icon).
    Double-click your new desktop icon to launch.

  • Can't launch the organizer in Elements 13. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  This happed with Elements 11, too.

    Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
    Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
    1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
    path
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    13.0
    Organizer
    and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
    2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
    a. create a new catalog
    and/or
    b. repair or optimize the current one
    See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
    3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
    it.  But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
    3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop  has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

    please help
    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

    My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

    I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
    iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
    Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.
