Adobe Premier Elements Video Editor will not open

I just installed version 12 of Adobe Premier Elements on my Windows 7 (64) system and am unable to open Video Editor. I receive a message that the display driver is not current and a newer version would make the program run more efficiently. After some time, the video editor stops trying to load. I have verified all windows updates are loaded and that I have the most current Quicktime version. I have also unloaded and reloaded Adobe Premier Elements but this issue continues to persist. Please assist.

I suspect that this might be the immediate area to pursue
1. What is your video card's/chip's make and model?
AMD Radeon HD 8730M, Intel Graphics HD 4000
There have been discussions here about problems with Premiere Elements and a dual video card set up.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5747654
What happens if you disable the Intel Graphics HD 4000 and just work with the AMD video card?
This is one of John T. Smith's and Hunt's favorite subjects. So we should be hearing from them soon. Meanwhile their presence can be felt in the link that I have referenced on this subject of dual video cards.
More later.

•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Close program.

Photoshop Elements 8 Editor will not open

I'm running Windows Vista (Home Premium) on a Sony vaio laptop that exceeds (by a landslide) all of the requirements to operate Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. The organizer opens just fine and functions properly. When I try to open the editor (either through the organizer or by its self it states "launching" and does not open. Instead within three to five seconds I get a small windows error window that pops up stating "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working" even though I can't even get the editor to open. I've tried some of the support suggestions on the Adobe web site but clearly this is something else. I've also removed and reinstalled the software twice with no changes. I downloaded all of the windows updates as well. PLEASE HELP!

Re: Photoshop Elements 8 Editor
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
I found this in the Elements forum and it worked!!!!

Elements 12 editor will not open from Organizer

Problem started about three weeks ago.
When I am in Adobe elements organizer and try to bring a photo into adobe elements editor it will say that it is going to open up the editor for about a minute then it will never open the editor. It will do this no matter if I right click on the picture to edit, click the edit button at the bottom of the screen, or if I go to the context menu and click edit. The adobe editor will open and I can manually open a file into it form the adobe editor program but the the editor use to work just by right clicking on the picture and selecting edit. I have checked the preferences in organizer and adobe elements editor is the only one listed not external editor is checked. I tried to add adobe elements editor as the external editor to see if I could get it too work that way but the program will not allow me to do that. I have also tried the ctrl - shift - alt and clear the settings and that solution does not work either. I have tried restarting the PC, uninstall and reinstall, and installed any or all updates to the program and OS. Why has this stopped working?

Two suggestions: the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements. Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1. I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.

Elements 8 Editor will not open!

I have Elements 8 on an older but well updated CPU, and the "Editor" suddenly does not open (the "Organizer" does still open and function). Can I re-install Elements 8 over the already installed same version to see if this corrects the "Editor" issue. And, yes I will be installing more current version, as I purchased Elements 12, but just haven't gotten around to placing it on the same unt that is in question.

Adobe Photoshop elements - the catalog will not open on the new laptop I just bought.

I installed the Adobe software for Elements 5.0. The catalog won't open. The new laptop uses Windows 7. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I rectify the problem?

Hi,
Actually, I did eventually get it to open. However, the photos are no longer tagged. I recovered the photos from my external hard drive, which is where I always stored them.
So you are saying that I would need to actually to a BACKUP from ELEMENTS itself? If I do that, the tags will still be attached to the photos? I have over 6000 photos. I do not want to have to reorganize and re tag them again.
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 will not open

I have been working with 4.0 for several years now and have really enjoyed it. I have been working on several large projects at the same time. Yesterday the program started to appear to be opening but only to close to a blank screen. I have tried reinstalling the program but nothing seems to help. Can anybody help me because this is over a years worth of work within that program.

Have you tried this?

Also try launching the program while holding down the Ctrl+Al+Shift keys on the left side of your keyboard.
If that doesn't work, please tell us more about your hardware, operating system, etc.

Hi, Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below: Solution 1:1. Close Elements.2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences. Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list. Solution 4: On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:    Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Locales\\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

PhotoShop Elements 9 Edit will not open.

After opening 2 or 3 images in Elements 9 edit a dialog box will come up and say "Elements is already running but is not responding close the Elements process or restart your system". I do not see where I can close the running Elements process. I have used Elements 9 for several months and have never run into this problem. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?

Thank you for the response. My Elements 9 Editor problem seemed to fix its
self. After restarting the computer the Editor would open for 2 or 3 images
then refuse to open again. After the fifth restarting of the computer the
Editor has continued to work and now seems fine. Not sure what caused the
problem in the first place. I will use the advise given below if the problem
starts again.
