Absolutely nothing happens when I insert Photoshop Elements 8 into computer

I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 yesterday. When I inserted into my computer ( I have Windows Vista) absolutely nothing happens. Even when I go to "computer" and click on the cd/dvd drive, it tells me to enter a disc, even though the disc is already in my computer. I took out the Photoshop disc, and tried various other cds and programs...all of them work and register. The photoshop elements is the only one that does not work. How do I fix this???? It is very stressful and I have been on hold for 30 minutes on the help line...not much hope there.

The help line came through for me! I had to download the trial version and then enter my serial number from my case. Apparantly, I just had a bad disc. Everything is fine and my Photoshop Elements is working correctly!

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • Nothing happens when I download Photoshop CC

    I am using Windows 8 on an ASUS with Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz and a 64bit Operating System with 6GB RAM. 
    I purchased the Student CC Package and downloaded it.  When I opened it, I clicked "Download" Photoshop under the "Apps" section.  I was redirected to the Adobe Photoshop download page where I clicked "download" and followed the instructions.  It took a really long time to complete.  Now, I do not have access to the program and if I try to redownload it, it directs me back to the CC App page that says everything is Up To Date.  When I check "My Computer" it shows that the Creative Cloud, Photoshop, and Illustrator are all installed.  But there is no way to access the programs.  Unfortunately, I tried this with Illustrator as well and went through the same process with the same results.  
    Any help or advice would be deeply appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi 1450enzo9,
    Please navigate to C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CC(64 Bit) and try to run Illustrator CC and see whether it works.

    Hi. My photoshop elements 12 has suddenly stopped working. When i tried opening it yesterday absolutely nothing happened. After a reinstallation I got to choose between opening picture browser or photoshop elements and when trying to open elements nothing happens. Now I have reinstalled windows but still with the same result. I was using the program for several months without problem until yesterday when it suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Have a look in Finder Preferences: Click on the desktop, Finder>Finder Preferences.General tab - is there a tick in "External Disks'? If not, tick it.

  • Nothing happens when I print.

    Nothing happens when I try to print if I'm using Photoshop, or Acrobat. Sometimes nothing happens in InDesign, but it worked fine with illustrator. I haven't had any printing problems with other non-adobe applications. Also Photoshop can find my scanner and scan from it just fine. The printer is an Epson all-in-one and the drivers are up to date. My os is OSX 10.9.2 but I had this problem before a recent os update.
    Just to clarify if I'm in a program and I choose print, I go though and select the settings I need in the box, and hit print. Then Nothing.

  • HT201376 Nothing happens when pressing Command+R during reboot

    I am trying to do a factory reset on my computer, and I have tried at least 30 times to restart and hold down the Command+R Keys and absolutely nothing happens.  I have tried during different intervals during the reboot, and have tried doing it after a shut down and startup.  Nothing happens at all. I have done it at least 15 times when the white screen with the apple pops up.  I have waited for the "wait" symbol to try it.  What am I missing?! Why won't this work? I cannot get to the point where I can erase everything.  When I go in manually through the disk utility, it will not let me erase this way.  Help!

    do I need that DVD? or can I upgrade to the newest version, would I then be able use the command R option for bringing up the disk utility partition?
    What exactly are you trying to do?
    OS X Lion and above includes the addition of a Recovery partition (not a "disk utility partition"). If you had OS X Lion or above, then Command-R would boot the Mac to the Recovery partition. From that partition, you could then run the Disk Utility application.
    With 10.6.8, you can boot from the DVD (Hold down the C key while restarting), once done, you could also run the Disk Utility application.
    Note: There is no way that we can tell whether you can upgrade from 10.6.8, since you haven't provided any specific information about your Mac other than it is a MacBook.

  • Fm10 crashes when you insert an element

    Fm 10 crashes when you insert an element. The problem occurs in structured fm and in xml files and it seems to happen when you insert the same element twice, for example a <para> after a <para> or a <choice> after a <choice>.
    I'm using Fm 10.0.1 in Windows XP SP3.

    Well, when working with FrameMaker there is almost no difference if a file was opened from DITA XML or if it is a DITA .fm file: It is always the binary internal file object that is handled. The only difference when (seemingly) working with XML files: they have to be translated from and to markup when opened opened or saved. BTW, this is the reason why you would not want to work with large XML files.
    Bottom line: If your .fm files are also DITA files the observations you mentioned apply.

  • Photosmart C3135 and Win7 32-bit: Nothing happens when application looks for TWAIN scanner

    When I attempt to scan a check for my bank or input a picture to Open Office via TWAIN scanner, absolutely NOTHING happens.
    This used to work; I think it worked after migrating from WinXP SP3 to Win7 Home Premium 32-bit.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.  No change.
    Ran HPDoctor; it complained about and then "fixed" TWAIN.  No change in Firefox (my bank) or Open Office.  This all used to work.
    Help?
    Thanks,

  • ITunes won't update - nothing, absolutely nothing happens

    Everytime I bring up ITunes on my computer, it asks me if I want to update to the new version of ITunes (6.0.1 right now). I click yes EVERYTIME. Nothing happens at all. No messages. No installation screen. Nothing. The same thing happens when I go to synch my Ipod. I plug it in, itunes asks me if I want to update to the latest version of IPod software. I click yes. Again, absolutely nothing happens. I've tried disabling my Anti-virus software (McAfee) and that doesn't do anything either.
    Anyone?
    P.S. I've tried looking throught the different threads but aside from uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes software or (even worse) reinstalling my Windows software, I've seen no solution that makes me comfortable that I'm not going to just create another more serious problem elsewhere.

    hi cengl!
    let's try heading to the itunes and ipod software download pages and downloading the update from there:
    iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
    Ipod Updater Installer
    i notice that you're running McAfee. if you run into an odd problem where you can't see the download controls (there's a blank blue box on the itunes download page, for example), try:
    iTunes download button isn't visible on the Download webpage
    keep us posted.

  • I have a late 2008 white macbook.  I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord.  My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor.  Nothing happens when plugged in.  Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab

    Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

  • Can't open .jar file, nothing happens when I click, MAC OS 10.6.8

    Hello,

    I have MAC OS 10.6.8
    The thing it, I have desktop application that I'm building on Netbeans and when I compile and deploy it... it runs from Netbeans folder where I have all the files but copying the .jar on the desktop. It says "The Java JAR file "blablabla.jar" could not be launched check the Console for possible error messages"
    Any idea or solution will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    These are Java files.  http://www.java.com/en/ is where you can get the latest Java for your operating system. If your Java files need an older version of Java, there are instructions on the web to downgrade Mac Java, but it is difficult, and poses security issues.
