Cant install Elements - or full version of photoshop

I have Photoshop elements installed on an old PC. However most of the time I'm abroad and only have access to a laptop. Recently I took some photo's that I wanted to fix up with photoshop elements. I didn't have the disc on me so I downloaded the trial version to my laptop and used it for 30 days. After the trial period ended I went to look for my elements disk but all I found was the licence codes.
Then I remembered I had a backup of my whole PC on an external hard disk. I plugged the hard disk into the laptop and ran the elements exe. All I got was an error - "Failed to initialize Vbox (0010-0069-0090)."
I decided that perhaps it was time I tried the full photoshop product anyway so I downloaded a trial version. When I try to install it, it unpacks 100% but then nothing else happens.
I want to get the original elements program to work - or else I want to be sure that the full version of photoshop will work on this laptop before I buy it.
The laptop itself is a decent bit of hardware - HP Compaq nc6400, 2GB Ram, Intel Centrino Duo with Windows XP Pro.

If you would try to restore installed files from backup, it might not work and probability of not working is very-2 high.
So first thing you need to check the entry in Control Panel>Add Remove Programs....
If PSE is there, uninstall it and then install from the trial version you have downloaded.

  • Lost Serialized Insert from PC Ultimate Software Suite-Cannot Install Full Version of Photoshop Elements 12

    I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop which was bundled with PC Ultimate Software Suite, a collection of programs on one disc. It included Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, but I misplaced the insert that contained the serial key. I still have the sleeve that the CD was bundled with, as well as the CD itself. Is there anyway I can still download the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 without having to buy the program separately or buying Software Suite again?

    If Dell provided the bundle you should contact Dell to see about getting a replacement or the serial for the disk.

  • Installing a full version of Photoshop 6 on new iMac running SnowLeopard

    I currently use a PowerPC G5 running OS 10.5.8. The G5 uses the old processors and Photoshop CS5 upgrade won't load because Photoshop CS5 only runs on the new Intel processors. My question: If I buy a new iMac with the Intel processors, is there a way to install  a full version of Photoshop 6, and upgrade for Photoshop 7, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5? When my daughter tried this approach, and tried to install the full version of CS 6, she received the message Classic OS was not installed so that ended the attempt. Do I have to buy a full version Photoshop CS5 for the new iMac? Thanks for any help, Doug

    Another, often cheaper, route to upgrade is to find an older version upgrade and do a two step upgrade since you are out of the Adobe window.
    You may be able to find a CS3 upgrade, buy that. Then purchase the CS5 upgrade.

    This route would still cost $400. But that is still a couple hundred dollars less than buying a full version of CS5 outright.
    Just because Adobe stops selling older version upgrades, it doesn't mean all retailers stop selling them.

  • How can I open grouped folder layers from the full version of Photoshop into my Photoshop Elements 10 verison?

    I have gotten a PSD from a coworker who asked for some help. He has the Full version of Photoshop and I have the Elements 10 version. I cannot open the grouped folders into individual layers and manipulate the current design that needs work. How can I get more functionality out of Elements and ungroup these layers?

    You could get elements+ which is a very cheap add on.

  • Can I install elements 11 from version 9 or must I install version 10 first.

  • Why did my install of an older version of Photoshop Elements fail?

    I tried to install a 2001 version of Photoshop Elements, but it failed to install stating that "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is Required." I have Windows 7, so therefore I should have at least Internet Explorer 9. Also when I tried to install it on my MAC it also failed stating that "Install failed because Classic Mode is no longer supported." So why can't I install this program on my MAC or Windows 7?
    I just bought this off eBay hoping to score a deal on an older program to use and get familiar with before installing a newer version and finding out I didn't like it or it wouldn't meet my needs. Any help in this manner is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    First off, you must be referring to a very old version of Photoshop Elements, not even sure it is version 1. Learning that will not help you very much when you try to go for the latest version - it will be like starting again.
    The old version did not know anything of the later versions of Internet Explorer and the installer gets confused. You can trick it by doing some registry edits (see following document) but I strongly advise against it unless you are very competent with computers. Get things wrong and you could kill your system.
    Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
    In addition to the level of Internet Explorer, you will run into problems if you have large disk drives.
    I'm not a MAC expert but the older versions of Photoshop Elements were designed to run on PowerPC-based computers and will not run on systems later than MAC OS 10.6.x.
    If you are serious about getting to know Photoshop Elements, the best thing is to get the latest trial version. Download that and install it and you can try it for 30 days. If you decide you like it, then you could look out for bargains at your local store or online.

  • Tags from Elements with full version

    Since 2003, I used Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements then to place thousands of tags on nearly 15,000 digital photos. I bought Photoshop CS5 few months ago and I find no way to use my information without going through my catalogs Photoshop Elements. Does that mean that thousands of my information will be useless if, in addition to Photoshop, I do not buy Photoshop Elements? I'd be willing to update my Albums Elements but why buy when I have the full version?

    Don't think so. They are two separate ecosystems. Feel free to inquire on the PSE forums how to export the data using XMP or by user-defined EXIF/ IPTC fileds in teh files themselves or whatever may be the most appropriate way of handling this.

  • Cant install Elements 12

    We had an demo version of the program. We tried to install it and there was an error message and when we tried to reinstall it this message came up. we removed the program and when we tried again it stil said same thing. Now we have nothing at all on our our laptop related to adobe left and stil the same message comes up. The message is as follows.

  • I have a full version of photoshop on my mac but downloaded a master collection trial, now photoshop will not open because the trial expired.

    I had a full version of CS6 photoshop on my macbook and then downloaded a Masters Collection trial a few months ago.  Photoshop has been working fine until today when I tried to go on, it told me that my trial was over.  I had the full version on my computer before I downloaded the masters collection so I thought it would still work.  Is there a way I can fix this or am I out of luck?  I really don't want to have to buy another version of photoshop again.  (I also have Bridge on my computer too from before downloading the trial and that is still functioning just fine) 

    Try using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove the Suite and then reinstall the standalone Photoshop
