Can't get PE6.0 Editor to start in Vista

We recently upgraded to a new PC with 64-bit Windows Vista. I loaded my copy of PE 6.0 and although I can get the program to come up and view an image, ANYTIME I try to get into the Editor I get the message: "Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 (Editor) has stopped working" Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Uninstalling the program and reinstalling with anti-virus and firewall disabled--several times!! No change.
2. Uninstalling 6.0 and downloading and installing 7.0 trial. Same error message when going to editor in 7.0.
3. Tried running as Administrator AND starting PE in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode. No change.
I Googled this error message and got one semi-helpful hit which at least tells me I'm not alone with this issue. In that message the suggestion was to reinstall with anti-virus disabled which I've done and which made no difference.
Can anyone help?
Paul

**UPDATE**
Dell was good enough to overnight to me a new copy of Windows Vista 32-bit for no cost! I was amazed.
Anyway, after loading the 32-bit version of Vista onto my system I reloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 and EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT. The editor came up without incident. The first thing that told me things would be different was during installation. With 64-bit Vista I couldn't get the Adobe Photo Downloader to install and consistently got an error message about that prior to even getting the program completely installed. This time, the downloaded installed perfectly and the PE6.0 did as well.
The only think I did differently this time around was to WAIT to install my antivirus program until AFTER PE was safely installed and working. But even so, I had always disabled my AV when installing PE under 64-bit Vista so I doubt that made a difference at all.
Anway...for now the problem is solved and all I had to do was subtract 32-bits from my operating system. :)

  • TS3212 I can't get my itunes to start downloading the new update on my pc.

    About two weeks ago, my itunes on my pc said there was an update available, but I put off updating it until I can do it at night when I have more download capacity available. Now I can't get the message asking to update to come up again, and when I search for available updates, it says one is available, but when I select to download it, nothing happens. I've tried over several days now. Restarted computer and itunes, but still can't get the download to start. Never had this problem before.I have Itunes version 10.6.3.25 on my pc right now and it says version 10.7 is available. I can't get the download to start off the Apple website either.
    Thanks,
    Liz

    Could you walk us through what happens when you try to download an installer from the Apple website, please?

  • I installed PSE13 yesterday and can't get photo editor to open.

    I installed PSE 13 yesterday and can't get photo editor to open.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    If a windows system, use Windows Explorer to find the following file.
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Try double clicking on it to run the editor directly rather than using the Welcome screen.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    '''''"menu items such as Bookmarks,Tools , etc"''''': That's the Menu Bar; see below.
    '''''"Also there is no back arrow"''''': That's on the Navigation Toolbar; see "<u>'''Navigation Toolbar, Bookmarks Toolbar and other Toolbars'''</u>" below. Also see the articles under "Also see:" at the end of the instructions.
    <u>'''Can't see the Menu Bar'''</u> (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?

    Hi there HotFerrari,
    It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

  • Can't get into App Builder, started as PC file

    Desperately seeking someone with experience!
    I built my app on a PC and put everything into the folio builder thinking this would be a simple process. Oops.
    I've got a Professional Membership and two folios, one for iPad, one for iPhone.  I've also got two problems.
    Problem 1. The folios from my admin account are not showing up in my application account. I did use my admin email as the application name for the application account. I thought that was the way to establish a connection. Was I wrong?
    Problem 2. Nothing at all shows up in the app builder in either account.
    I got a whole lot of nothing.
    Can anyone help? It all looks fantastic from my PC, but I can't seem to get it off of there or the cloud!
    Thank you in advance

    Good news, that got me through posting the thumbails, but now I'm stuck.
    On the left hand side, App Details is green with a check mark and Icons and Splash screens is bold.
    I keep hitting the "NEXT" button and recycling through the screens where you post all the thumbails.
    According to the instructions on page 119 in "Using Digital Publishing Suite",  I'm supposed to move on to Newstand, Social Sharing, and Sumbitting, but I can't get anywhere except for "Next" thumbnail set and "Cancel."
    Help please?
    Thanks so much

  • How can I get my iTunes to start up after a clean re-install?

    Following the corruption of many of my Applications and Files, I had to have a Clean Re-install done.
    That solved most of the problems, but when I try to start iTunes it comes up with the iTunes Software Licence Agreement.
    When I click on Agree, I get the message "The File 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. That's it.
    Do I try update my current iTunes 6.0.2, or what?
    Your help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.

    I can only speak from a Windows perspective.
    Have you tried uninstalling Itunes, then uninstall quicktime and reinstalling both ?
    if you log onto the pc as another user does itunes work then ? if so quicktime and itunes are fine and it's something specific to the user.
    Try finding the itunes library (for vista c:\users\users name\music\itunes most likely), this is where your music is going to be along with what seems to be configuation files for itunes for that user. Try renaming.
    Does Itunes work then ?

  • On plugging my iPod to the iMac, all the songs got deleted on the iPod. Now it doesn't sync to iTunes and it shows that 'mac os can't repair the device'. How can I get my iPod to start functioning normally again? Please help!

    Hey! I plugged my 80 gb ipod classic to my imac, but had to switch it off when itunes hung. The ipod wasn't switching on , and when it did, all the data, including all my songs were deleted. Now, when I try syncing it to the mac, it doesn't connect to the itunes and I keep getting an alert saying ' Mac osx can't repair the device'. Now, althought all the data is gone, the ipod still shows 30 gb free. What will happen if I partiton my ipod? How do I get it to start functioning again? Please help!

    Try a low level reformat of the iPod's hard drive to possibly try and repair some of its damage. Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.
