Changing default from Adobe photoshop elements to Adobe reader

I use both Adobe Photoshop elements and Adobe Reader 8. Whenever I open a PDF document it defaults to Adobe Photoshop Elements. How do I get it to default to Adobe Reader 8? Thanks.

If you problem is that, when you double click on the icon of a PDF file, it is opened by Photoshop Elements and not by Reader, you have a file associations problem. See this FAQ:

Do you have the purchased serial number? What computer operating system?
If you purchased from Adobe direct, you can get download installation files from "My Orders" at the Adobe web site under your Adobe ID and Password (http://www.adobe.com).
Alternatively, you can use the following Adobe document with links to the downloads....
Other downloads
Also, from the following web site as a tryout into which you insert your purchased serial number during installation
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
To avoid Access Denied message, follow carefully the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions".
Just in case note...make sure installation files are for your computer operating system 32 vs 64 bit. Two files (.exe and .7z)
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Please let us know the outcome as your schedule permits.
Thank you.

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

Moving Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 & Adobe Premiere Elements 13 to a different PC

I bought a download copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 & Adobe Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe site - and am planning to install on my older desktop and my new laptop. In few months, I will be upgrading the desktop to a newer model. Once I upgrade, will I be able to uninstall the Adobe products from the old pc to install on the new one?
or would I be restricted from installing on the new PC? In that case, I can only install on my laptop and wait till I buy the new desktop for the second install.
Please advice

Sure you can install PSE on your new machine when you get one. All you need to do is to "Sign-Out" from the old machine and "sign-in" on the new machine. To do this, you need to go to:
Help >> Sign out
Help >> Sign-in
Make sure the internet is available when you are doing this so that Adobe servers are aware of your actions and record them on their servers accordingly. You are allowed to install on two machines at any one time.
Make sure your serial numbers are in a safe place and don't publicise them anywhere. They are yours and yours only. In particular, don't publish them anywhere, NOT EVEN HERE.
Hope this helps.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements include Adobe Bridge? Or is that a separate purchase?

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements include Adobe Bridge? Or is that a separate purchase?

I don't have a recent version of Photoshop Elements. I have never seen anyone mentioning Bridge with PSE. Brigde is usually installed with Adobe CS Suites of software like the CS 5 Design Suite or CS 5 Production Suite or CS 6 Master Collection.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge. Do these come in a package together?

I'm going to update my current set up. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge. Do these come in a package together? What would be the best way to go about this upgrade?

Bridge comes with Photoshop but not with Elements.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Adobe Premiere Elements 12

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I was able to download and open Photoshop Elements 12 but the Premiere Elements 12 is not downloading. Each has a separate serial # and I assume they are two separate softwares, or are they one software that downloads under the name Adobe Photoshop 12 and runs jointly?

Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 are standalone products. Typically after you download one, you designate the next and do that download.
Since you have purchased serial numbers for each of the products and you have been able to obtain only 1/2 your purchase, best contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to correct the situation.
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=downloading-installing -and-setting-up
Click on the above link and, when it opens, click on "I still need help" to get Adobe Chat pop up.
I think that the "Downloading, installing, and setting up" category looks like a good choice. There is also another category that might be useful named "Orders, Refunds, Exchanges". But start with "Downloading, installing, and setting up" and let us see what that Adobe Chat group has to contribute and if it can correct the matter.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Buy a new computer. Sorry, no way around it. PRE requires certain processor extensions which - no offense - your computerized toaster doesn't have. Your laptop is seriously underpowered.
