Adobe Elements 13 photo editor won't launch

apparently this has happened to a lot of people, but I don't see any actual solutions to the issue.
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Organizer/Editor screen launches, clicking Editor gives striped progress for a few seconds, then stops.
Naturally this only happens when I have a deadline to meet. So irritating. I can't believe I actually paid money for this product.

no signIn screen, just wouldn't launch. It turned out, I think, that the problem was due to an update I had accepted some days previously which failed. That shouldn't happen either, neither the failure or the bad consequences, but eventually when I rebooted and tried again, the update prompt appeared again and succeeded. After that Elements began to work correctly again. In the meantime was a lot of frustration and trying a number of likely but wrong suggestions from the forum. Not at all impressed by the experience. I certainly let everyone I know know about it

Elements 12 organiser and Photo Editor won't launch

I had to uninstall Elements 12 and then re-install it but now I cannot open Photo Organizer or Photo Editor - PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP. I find the support for this programme very scarce!!!!

Hi,
Yes renaming means renaming to something like newopm.db but this solution might not work for you.
See there are two issues mentioned above:
Case 1.Sign in window keeps on appearing again and again
Case 2.Editor does not load but keeps on churning
opm.db solution solution is for Case1 and for Case 2 you need to rename SLCache folder @ <<C:\Program Files (x86)(or Program Files for 32 bit machine)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache >> and then try to launch editor
Thanks,
Shikha

Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor won't open, trial info keeps popping up

Okay, I own Photoshop Elements 11 but the Photo Editor refuses to open. When I click it, a pop up shows up for the trial version of PSE 11 saying I should buy it. I already have the lisence for PSE11 so i don't know what the problem is. (Also Organizer works but won't upload images and I tried the CRT+shift+Alt things but the delete preferences popup doesn't show.)
I might have deleted a plug-in or something by accident, not sure if that would effect it but I did a systems restore.

I don't want to re-install because my account says I can't.
What exactly is the message you're getting?

Photoshop Elements 12 photo editor crashes directly when application launched. Get no error/message.

Hi rens,
Was it working fine before?
Have you tried updating PSE12 to the latest update and checked?
Standard troubleshooting steps :
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )

Problem with PS elements 11 photo editor

I have just bought the PS elements 11 and Premeire 11 . After installation (on Windows 7) and registeration the PS elements 11 photo editor constantly failed to open. An error message says" Unable to continue because of hardware or system error. Sorry but this error is unrecoverable". What is this error? and How it can be fixed. Clearly I need to use the editor. Please Help.

I think you need to do a clean reinstall.
Please follow the below steps to do a clean reinstall
1. Do a normal uninstallation from the control panel
2. Go to C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\ and delete everything there
3. Go to "C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Adobe\TypeSupport" and delete everything there.
4. Go to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements" and delete the 5.0 and 11.0 folder there.
5. Go to C:\Program File (x86)\Adobe and delete the following folders if any of them is present. The folder to be deleted are--"Photoshop Elements 11" , "Elements 11 Organizer" ,"Photshop Elements 5", "Elements 5 Organizer".
6. Restart the system.
7. Right click on the "Setup.exe" and choose "Run as a administrator" and install PSE again.
8. Restart again
9. Now launch PSE 11 Editor.
Hope this would help!

Elements 12 Photo Editor stopped working

I recently purchased a brand new HP with Windows 8. I downloaded PS Elements 12 from Amazon last month and a few weeks in, Photoshop Editor stoped working. I ended up uninstalling it then reinstalling and it worked great for a few days before the Editor crashed again. This pops up: "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."
I am beyond frustrated. I am trying to get a photography career going and I don't have time for this. I'm not very computer savvy when it comes to issues like this and honestly have no idea what to do. I obviously can't keep uninstalling it. I also don't know if this is a Windows issue or Adobe. Please help!

I'm replying from my e-mail so I hope this works! Couldn't figure out how to reply on the Adobe discussion board. But I checked the updates and it said they're all up-to-date and to answer your questions, yes it crashes every time I try to open a photo. If I'm in the organizer then right click a photo to open in Editor that notification pops up. So yes, the organizer works just not the Editor.
As far as the admin rights, I right-clicked the icon and ran to do so if that's what you're talking about. Like I mentioned before, I have NO idea what the heck is wrong. If it's Windows or Adobe...all my friends say I should've gone with an iMac. Haha. Sigh

Opening elements 11 photo editor

I cannot get my newly purchased elements 11 photo editor to open. I've tried opening it on the first pop up screen and I've tried opening it after opening the organizer side of the pop up. This is very frustrating and I have to pay to talk to someone on the phone!

I JUST BOUGHT IT AND INSTALLED IT. I have never had this problem with any adobe product. Just the thought of uninstalling it and reinstalling it makes me not happy. IT SHOULD WORK THE FIRST TIME. I don't understand how the main photo editing company makes a product that has this many problems. My elements 7 worked better than this crap.

Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

Barbara,
Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

PSE Photo Editor will not launch

Bought PSE12 on 9/5/14 with new camera. Installed and runs fine on Windows 7 desktop. Installs on laptop. Everything except Photo Editor will launch on the laptop. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. It has made no difference

Under C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0\editor\ there are files on the desktop which are not on the laptop (see the next three screen shots). Does this have anything to do with it? Why wouldn’t they be on the laptop since I loaded it from the same CD?
Is the version on the laptop not registered or activated?

Elements 12 Photo Editor will not start - why?

Here again, everything is loaded and works except the photo editor. Organizer and Premiere work but when I try to use the photo editor it just looks like it is trying to start but then stops. I have tried from both the file folder and the hello screen, also as as administrator. No luck at all.
Anyone have an idea? Any ideas are better than none!!!!

Try making a shortcut to launch the Editor directly, bypassing the welcome screen. Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
Find the file called PhotoshopElementsEditor (click the image below)
Right-click on the application and choose:
Send to >> Desktop (shortcut)
Go to your desktop and double-click on your new shortcut icon to launch.

Elements 12 Photo Editor crashes

Hello. I purchased Photo Elements 12 today via Amazon to use on my desktop running Windows 7. The dowload went fine, as well as entering the product key. When the install was complete, I tried to use it, but it told me that my trial had expired and then prompted me to purchase it thru Adobe. I had already entered the key so not sure why it was asking me this. After a reinstall and getting the same result, I went to Adobes website and registered it that way.
Now I do not get the "Trial" message, but when I click on Photo Editor, it asks me to log in to use this product and access membership info. Once I log in, it returns to the Welcome Screen, acts like its loading for about 2 seconds and then goes right back to asking me to log in again. This has happened more times than I can remember now.
How do I get past this to use the the Photo Editor? The Organizer starts no problem. I did have a trial of this software on my computer before my purchase today, but I completely removed it before I did the install of the paid version.
Thanks for any suggestions. This has been frustrating so far.

Photoshop Elements 12 Photo Editor will not open

When I get the opening Organiser/Photo Editor page if I click on Organiser it takes me in, but if I click on Photo Editor it asks for my Adobe ID etc and then just goes back to the opening page, it won't take me further.
I've tried opening from the Program files and I've installed the trial online and then entered my product key, but still the same.

Hi,
Please rename opm.db file @:
Win:C:\Users\<user ame>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac:Users Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
Sign in again.

PSE 12 Photo Editor won't open

Hi,
I purchased PSE 12 in January 2014. It's been working just fine up until the other day. I went to open Photo Editor and it sent me to some other screen and asked me to login. Tried logging in and it said I wasn't connected to the internet yet I was. I Decided to uninstall PSE12 and reinstall. after a few attempts I finally get the main PSE12 screen when I click on the PSE12 icon on my desktop. I was very excited. However, once I click on the Photo editor it appears like it's trying to open and then stops and nothing happens.
I"ve tried something I read on another page to hold Ctrl, Alt, and Shift while I click on the PSE12 icon. From what I've read I should get a screen that allows me to delete something however, I get the pop up that is typical for most program icons. Multiple tabs, Shortcut, General, Compatibility, Security, Details, and Previous Versions. I don't remember changing anything on my computer since the last time I opened PSE12 Photo editor.
Any ideas, I'd like to use the program
Thanks,
S

Once I reinstalled PSE 12 I no longer have get the sing in page or the message that I'm not connected to the internet.
Yesterday I downloaded PSE 12 and reinstalled it. I clicked on the desktop icon and got the main screen to either open Photo editor or the Organizer. I was able to open Organizer but unable to open Photo editor.
