Adobe Element 5 will not run if a firefox browser is open, give meassage "attempt to access invalid address" however it runs fine if browser closed

I had this problem with Google Chrome and had to uninstall it completely. The problem occurred even if Chrome wasn't running.

Sounds like a problem with Adobe Element, since it caused a problem with two different browsers.

  • Elements 5 won't open, error message "attempt to access invalid address" any solutions please.

    I have been using this for years with other problems, however now it refuses to open. I have uninstalled and re-installed after restarting the computer twice. I also deleted every folder I could find with elements in the name to no avail. If I read a camera card elements get photos opens them into elements organiser but if I click the edit photos tab it refuses to open. I have windows vista 32 bit.

    Hi Garry,
    Yes, I did download PSE 8 and it did work.  However, the trial period has ended.  I have uninstalled PSE 8.  I have also unistalled PSE 5 and then reloaded it.  Upon completeion of the PSE 5 load, I tried to open the PSE 5 and the invalid address error message continues to display.  I am very sad that I cant get PSE 5 to work.  Can you help with more things I can try?  Please let me know
    All the best

  • Using Photo Elements 5 on 8.1 tried opening received message "Attempt to access invalid address"

    Been using PE 5 for several months on my new computer running 8.1.  Tried opening today and received the above message.  Uninstalled it and re-installed, still getting same message.  Please advise.  Thanks

    What is the size of your hard disk?  PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine.  Just a thought here.

    Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions.  Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
    - Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
    Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
    To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
    Quit Photoshop Elements.
    Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
    Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
    Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
    I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try.  If it does not, take these steps:
    - Uninstall Photoshop Elements
    - Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
    - Reinstall Elements
    - Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch

  • When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop (message reads "attempt to access invalid address" - what can I do?

    When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 at the same time. I get an error message which reads "attempt to access invalid address". When I stop running Firefox, I can use Photoshop again. What can I do?

    Which OS are you using? Because there have been some issue with Win7 and PSE4. Try upgrading to PSE8.You can try the trial version of PSE8.

  • Elements 5.02 - Attempt to access invalid address

    When I try to launch Photoshop 5.02 the welcome screen is displayed and I can open the Organizer, but when I attempt to open the Quick Fix or the other editor programs I get a dialogue box "Attempt to access invalid address"
    This problem is on my profile only as Photoshop works when another user is logged in to the PC ( OS: Vista Home 32bit) and was working ok until a few week ago.
    I have tried the following with no success:
    Reinstalled the s/w.
    Deleing the Photoshop folder from the AppData in my profile folder.
    Deleting the Photoshop registry entries from Current User.
    Searched the web for a solution
    I know that I could delete my profile and create a new one, but I would only do this if all else failed as I would loose other settings just when I have all setup the way I want it.
    Could anyone give me any pointers to where I might look to resolve this please.
    Thank you. Niall

  • Attempt to Access Invalid Address - Adobe Acrobat Reader XI or Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    My spec's:
    - OS: Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 64 bit
    - currently have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v 9.0.0 (works fine) - (AA9P)
    - Profile I am installing is an Administrator account
    - All A/V is turned off to include MS Security Essentials real time protection
    - MS EMET is turned off
    I have tried upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (AARXI) or the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (AAPXI), and keep getting the same debug message "attempt to Acess Invalid Address"
    I have UNINSTALLED AA9P, and THEN rebooted. I then tried to install AAPXI = same debug message. No errors were present during the installation and I also verified the MD5 checksum on the download, so that I getting a complete install package
    I then UNINSTALLED AAP XI, then rebooted.
    I INSTALLED AAPRXI, and received no errors during installation. Again, all installs are ocurring under a ADMINISTRATOR account with all security software disabled. Tried opening AAPRXI and get the same debug message.
    My OS has every available patch installed for both Microsoft and Third Party.
    Any suggestions on how to correct this installation?

    Still no solution to this problem. I went ahead and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI thinking I could always get refunded but maybe it was the trial version?
    I have since taken a number of steps to verify my computer was clean before I installed AAPXI
    -- remotely ran sweeps across my computer using Retina and Tenable Nessus = clean and all available/critical patches installed
    -- running Win7 Ultimate SP1
    -- running latest versions of all third party software (Java, Flash, etc.)
    -- Ran Sysinternal procmon to see if what was going on (will upload to adobe...tons of "NAME NOT FOUND")
    ---- in procmon, I filtered out most of the noise...just need an assist from Adobe Tech
    -- I used the tool above that Claudio Gonazlez identified and removed everything, even my entire Adobe CS4 installation =(
    -- Rebooted
    -- Double checked that all security software is disabled
    ** installed AAPXI with NO installation errors
    -- tried opening AAPXI but get the same error " C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe    Attempt to access invalid address"
    Any help from the community or Adobe? Been trying off an on for two weeks to fix this. Thanks

  • Elements 4 "attempt to access invalid address"

    I had to re-install Win XP and when I re-installed Elements 4 I can no longer open a .jpg file by right clicking "open with photoshop elements". Instead I get the msg: "attempt to access invalid address".
    Assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    After further search on the internet I was able to find out the cause of the problem -- there is a conflict with my anti virus security BitDefender 2010. A solution can be found here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/lofiversion/index.php/t15247.html
    Most of the post refer to a problem with Elements 5 and 5.1 but the solution worked for my verison also.

  • Hi everytime I try to open elements 5 I get " attempt to access invalid address" message.

    I have to uninstall the program and reinstall it every time I need to use it if the machine has been shut down between installs. The repair option makes no difference either. It's on a vista 32 bit machine with the vista update installed, any ideas please.

    Try deleting the prefs which will get re-built to the default status.
    Go to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Find PhotoshopElementsEditor (see image below) and hold down the three keys Ctrl+ Alt+Shift (not Ctrl+Alt+Delete) then right click on the editor application and choose Open.
    Keep all three keys pressed until you see the settings dialog and then release.
    Click on Yes and the program should launch.

  • Photoshop Elements 5.0 Attempt to access invalid address error

    Everytime I try to open Photoshop Elements I get this error message
    and the application refuses to load. I had this issue before and solved it by deleting Chrome (which irked me as it remains my favourite browser to use) however it appears to have come back. I'm not using Bitdefender and my operating system is Windows 7. I have tried deleting my preference folders and uninstalling and re-installing. Any help? I really don't have the money to upgrade and I like this version.

  • Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

    Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

    Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
    Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
    Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

    A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
    This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.
