Can't launch PSE 7

Why would I not be able to launch PSE 7 after installing from a purchased CD?  (No error msg)
(thread title edited by forum host)

Thanks for getting back.  I'm running Windows XP on a desktop PC and Windows 7 on a laptop.   I bought the PSE disk new about 2009 from Walmart for my laptop.  It worked fine there (Windows 7) for a couple of years but now won't launch.  I used an older PSE version on my PC until trading recently but after what appeared to be a successful installation of PSE 7 it will not launch there either.  The hour glass appears briefly and then disappears when I try to launch from either the desktop or from windows explorer.  So no PSE on either the laptop of desk top PC now.  If I remember correctly, I installed Norton Anti-virus after the PSE 7 installation on both...are there compatibility issues?  I hadn't  associated the two as a problem for PSE.

  • Can't launch PSE 11 Organizer from Welcome Screen

    I was trying to see if there was an easier way to scan my photos directly into PSE 11.  i found this on the Adobe site.  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/twain-installed-photoshop-elements-11.html  (See Windows 64 bit) I went into the Program File... Optional Plug-In and right clicked and copied.  Then I went to the Program File... Plug In file and was going to copy it but didn't.  I really didn't know what I was doing so I stopped and closed out of the Program Files.  I was able to scan my files on my Epson scanner and get them into the Organizer without doing this.
    I can't remember if I had the Organizer open at the time I was doing the above or opened it afterwards.  Anyway I was scanning and organizing, backed up my pictures on a flashdrive and all was good and closed the Organizer.  I then connected an External hard drive I hadn't used for a while to see what photos were on it.  Then I went to open the Organizer as I wanted to do a backup on the External hard drive.  Now as stated above, I can't open the Organizer from the Welcome Screen or from the Editor.
    Did I screw something up from what I was doing in the first paragraph or what.  Help!!

    See if this link helps:

  • Photoshop Elements 9 can't launch on win 7

    Suddenly Photoshop Elements 9 can't launch on win 7.

    It was available from I bought it to last week.

    I speak English badly for I'm from PRC...Don't laugh at me...OTZ
    Thanks for helping me

      Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files (x86)
    C: >> Program Files >> Adobe >> Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.
     

  • Launching pse 10

    hi all
    i have just installed pse 10 from disc under windows 7, my problem is that i seem to be only able to launch pse 10 once, if i decide to close the program down, before i am able to open it again, i need to shut my pc down and restart before i can get the program to open.
    I am also using cs 3 and lightroom 4 and also still have pse 6 installed.
    Please help

    Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • Can i transfer pse 11 to another computer?

    can i transfer pse 11 to another computer?

    Hi GederGenealogy,
    A retail version of the software is good to install on 2 computers as per the End User License Agreement.
    If you wish to transfer the license you need to deactivate the software first by launching the software, go to the 'help' menu and select 'Deactivate'.
    You can then install the software on the new machine and use the serial number to activate it.

  • I just bought and downloaded Elements 12 but can't launch the program. Any ideas??

    I just bought and downloaded Elements 12 but can't launch the program. Every time I try to sign in to my Adobe account to get started it shuts the whole program down everytime I click sign in. Very frustrated!! I had been using the trial version and loved it and want to work with the full version now!!!

    If the trial version was still on the machine then you didn't need to install another program because Trial version can be activated by inserting your serial number and activated in the normal way.
    I suggest try going to Help >> Activate
    and see if you can activate it otherwise, if you can't launch the program then you need to uninstall the PSE completely from the Windows Control Panel and then restart the machine to make sure there isn't anything in the computer's memory.
    Now restart the machine and install your program but this time making sure you also insert the serial number and your AdobeID so that you can register and activate the program automatically.
    Good luck

  • Can't launch Safari due to error message

    I can't launch Safari anymore. It says it is missing some important resources and I have to reinstall Safari. I have done so, but it still does not work.
    Here is the error message;
    The procedure entry point SQLite3_wal.checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll.
    Can someone please help me? I have rebooted my computer, uninstalled Safari and reinstalled it without any luck.
    Thank you very much

    Just so you are aware, Apple no longer suports Safari for Windows.
    If you don't want to use IE, try Firefox for Windows >  Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
    Much more user friendly than Safari.

  • Can not launch lightroom says error when reading its preview cache

    I can not launch Lightroom is puts up a error message that says it encountered an error when reading its preview cache and goes in to a loop that keeps closing the program
    I have restarted my comp 4 times same this each time
    I can't find any trouble shooting and when I try and download lightroom again it just puts me back at the creative cloud desktop which I can't click in anything

    You need to delete the preview cache. LR will automatically create new previews.
    Read here and here are the locations. Don't touch the *.lrcat file.

  • How many computers can I use PSE on?

    I have PSE10 on 1 desktop and my laptop.
    Just bought a new laptop, can I add PSE on it, or do I have to uninstall on one of the others?
    If I update to PSE11=> how many computers can I install it on?
    Thx,
    sophie

    Hi sophie
    Yes you can install PSE10 on the new laptop. You don’t need to uninstall the others but you need to deactivate one copy. From full Edit choose Help >> Deactivate
    PSE11 can be activated on two machines.

  • How can I Launch a Java application that I have written using an icon

    I have just finished writing a Messaging system like Ms Outlook written completey in Java. To run my application , I would normaly type: java and then the class containing the main method eg java LogonFrame.
    How can I launch my application by just clicking on an icon ?.
    How can I also package and install this application the way most conventional application are packaged and installed. Do we have a sort of "java Installer" ?.

    javaw -classpath %~d0%~p0 Package.MainClass %1
    Now make a shortcut to this file. Rightclick the shortcut and select start in "minimized". Thats it...

  • Canon MX870 will print wirelessly but will not scan and can't launch EX navigator

    My laptop recently crapped out on me the hard drive failed. It's an old Macbook pro vintage with 4gig memory and running OS X maverics. After I got a new hard drive put in and restored my computer using a time machine backup I noticed the Tech had gone ahead and installed a newer operating system 10.9.2 and now I cannot get my Canon pixma MX870's software to work. After going to the Canon site and downloading newer drivers and wrangling with it for three hours I finally was able to get it to print wirelessly somehow, don't ask me how. But it will print wireless however it still will not scan even if I use image capture it sees no printer available and the ex navigator software keeps showing an error message it cannot launch! How bogus! Macs have always just worked period. No problem but now even when I go back to my old install disc for the Canon pixma MX870 it says that the software is not supported by this operating system .....REALLY... this printer is only about three years old! I'm shocked that apple could actually go ahead and make new versions of maverics that don't support printer software from two years ago..... REALLY you're kidding right! Whats next you won't support software from two months ago! I guess we have to just buy a new printer every month.
    This machine is starting to remind me of a Windows laptop what a nightmare. Jobs must be rolling in his grave. This is just utterly pathetic. This is the beginning of the end for Apple. I've always been impressed with how easy it is to use apple stuff but this is the second time I've updated my operating system only to find I have to go through **** just to get the freakin' printer to work. Come on guys somebody show me an easy fix here and if any body says it's the printer companies responsibility to update their drivers and software I think I'm going to puke. I have already downloaded the newest Canon software for the MX870 and it can't launch I was able to get the printer to print but can't get the scanner to work and the solutions menu is now useless.

    Well you are right Steve my complaint is with Canon for not making it easier to install their necessary updates if you upgrade your OS system but it seems that when Apple is constantly making new upgrades available they might want to add in the heads up "OH by the way, if you install this new OS it's likely your printer won't work any more if it's more than three years old." along side the constant   "Updates are available for your computer" they should really have it read "Updates are available for your computer, proceed at your own risk"  No I'm sorry the whole system is geared towards making people get so frustrated that they eventually give up and buy a new printer. I'm not sure what 5 hours of my time is worth but I am sure that if were getting paid by the hour it would be enough to buy a new Canon comparable to the MX870. So by the way if other people are having this same problem, which of course thousands of them are, the solution is first download the newer driver, then download the new wireless setup assistant and then figure out how to use it (good luck with that), it took me about two hours just to find the access points on the printer and to be honest I just got lucky eventually. Then you must download the newer "Scan Gear" software if you want to scan. But it seems that the new "Scan Gear" software got my whole solutions menu to start working again so there you go, you can be a white night for somebody else who is having this same problem. I must admit that after wrangling for hours I continued to go back to the forums and eventually found a link to the canon software update page provide by some very nice girl who was very helpful for some other guy and the link took me to the same page I had been to several times already but I then downloaded the "Scan Gear" software and was up and running again. So thank you to that nice girl and in the spirit of her helpfulness I offer this to the thousands of other poor bastards that cannot get their MX870 to scan
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx870#DriversAndSoftware
    Go there and download the "Scan Gear" software that is for OS 10.9

  • Can't launch iTunes due to previous version of QuickTime installed

    I installed an older version of QuickTime, now I can't launch iTunes anymore. In Control Panel, I have QuickTime 32--version 2.11.57 listed. I did everything in the document http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3366434&#3366434
    but nothing has worked. I can't seem to uninstall the old version of QuickTime. When I run QTInstaller713.exe I get an error message about "Can't install because a newer version is already installed"
    Sony Vaio VGN-S260   Windows XP  

    There are no QuickTimes listed in the Add/Remove list. I see it listed in the Control Panel where there is a QuickTime and a QuickTime 32 (v2.11.57). I also see it in Start > Programs > QuickTime. When I click on that I get the message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
