Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 error message on reinstall

My Photoshop Elements 6 stopped responding so I removed it and tried to reinstall with my disc.  It begins installation, then I get an error message "Key not valid for use in specified state," and ends the installation.  I have had this program for several years, upgraded to Elements 12 and did not like the new format so went back to Elements 6.  I was not given an opportunity to enter my validation key if, in fact, that is what the message means.  Can anyone help me?

The serial number is not referred to as a key. Generally, if you are on Windows, a Key would refer to a registry key. This could mean that there is some part of Elements left on your system in the Registry and preventing a reinstall. Follow this list and remove all the remaining pieces (change the version number from 9 to 6): Manually remove Photoshop Elements 9 | Windows

  • Photoshop elements error message

    I tried to start photoshop elements 5 and I got a message saying that it was an invalid address and then a message saying that the program was not responding or waiting for a response but it didn't open. I know a lot of people say it's Google Chrome but I've been able to run them simulatiusly for months! Plus I refuse to uninstall Google Chrome... I've been told to delete my preferences but I don't know how. I have windows 7 though. I've tried to repair it but it didn't work. Any help?

      The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (in Program Files\Adobe) or Program Files x86 on 64 bit Windows 7.
    You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 Error messages after update to mac os 10.4.6

    After updated to mac os 10.4.6 everytime I use Photoshop CS2 I receive an error message "Could not complete your request because of a program error"
    I did all the workarounds that were described in document 331627 from Adobe's website and nothing worked.
    I also subscribe to maxosx.com support and someone suggested removing the legal.localized/Tien...file from the photoshop cs2/legal directory, but everytime I tried to select the directory "legal" from within the finder view, it disappeared and closed the finder window.
    HELP!

    Did you upgrade from a previous version of OS X like 10.3.x or 10.2.x or from a prior version of 10.4.x? If the former, there are probably some files in your previous system folder that need to be restored.
    Otherwise, double click Photoshop when it's closed, and then IMMEDIATELY hold Command + Option + Shift. You'll get a box for resetting the settings. Select Yes and maybe that will help.

  • PC Cam 750 & PhotoShop Elements Error Message P0230bGR.dll

    My son had a PC Cam 750 installed on my computer. He is now in Japan (with the camera) and I thought I uninstalled the Creative software from my machine. However, when I open PhotoShop Elements, I get a fail to start error message about P0230bGR.dll not found. A number of other PhotoShop users seem to think this message has to do with a plug-in installed by the Creative Software, and that when I uninstalled the Creative PC Cam software, the plug-in can't start. Can someone verify this? And if so, which plug-in and how can I remove it. I do not have the PC Cam installation CD. Thanks. mzz

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • RAM Error Message in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

    Just bought my first mac on Friday.
    I'm running Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
    I go to open a little file 500X500 and I get an error message that it cannot open it because there is not enough available RAM.
    Machine has 4G!
    Anyone know why?
    Thanks
    Sorry if this is in the wrong place. This is my first visit.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    It is possible that this is an error on the part of Elements, or that there really isn't enough RAM. Four GB is plenty (I use 4 on huge RAW files without issue). The only reason that you wouldn't have enough RAM is that you might have some application open that's using it all without you knowing. Here's how to check for this:
    Open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities). At the top, set the Show menu to All Processes.
    Click the Real Memory column header so that the point of the triangle is down. This will bring the processes using the most RAM to the top.
    If there's one using a lot (500MB or more), quit it if you don't need to have it open (If it's something you don't know of, post the name and we'll let you know what it is).
    Also, select the System Memory tab at the bottom. What are the numbers on the left (Free, Wired, etc)?
    If there isn't anything using a lot of RAM, than the problem is probably in Elements. The easiest way to fix it would probably be to uninstall and reinstall it (if that's a big problem, we can look into other ways).
    I've used Photoshop CS5 Extended with huge files on a MacBook with 4GB RAM; 2.4 GHz CPU without a problem (well, it was a little slow, but it worked).

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

    At what step during the installation are you getting that error?
