Compatibility PSE v2 and Win 7?

I plan to buy a new computer with Win 7. Will my trusted Photoshop Elements version 2 continue to work?

Sorry, I wasn't precise in my terminology (necessary when dealing with Microsoft!).
Windows 7 provides two different facilities for compatibility:
1. Windows XP Mode runs an XP virtual machine inside Windows 7:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/windows-xp-mode.aspx
It requires WIndows 7 Pro or Ultimate.
2. As with Vista, you can set compatibility options for an individual program by right-clicking its icon or Start menu item, selecting Properties, and then the Compatibility tab.  This option comes with every version of Windows 7:

  • Nikon D300 RAW and PSE 5.0 (Win)

    I have just started to process my Nikon D300 RAW images in my ACR / PSE 5.0 (Win) installation.  The RAW conversion works OK but when I want to remove the actual RAW files from my computer to store elsewhere, the computer will not let me move or delete them because "they are being used by another program or person."
    I have also noticed other strange goings on with these RAW files sometimes causing PSE to freeze.
    A quick check with the Process Explorer diagnostic tool from Microsoft indicates that something called Photoshop Elements File Agent.exe is still running in the background.  Is this a problem of the RAW files themselves or PSE?  Has any other user met this?  I have backed up "My Catalog", restarted my computer and uninstalled / reinstalled my PSE 5.0 to no avail.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Hi dj_paige
    1. Sorry but Windows XP (SP3).
    2. My current RAW workflow involves deleting the
    NEF RAW files from the PSE Organiser after
    conversion, copying / backing up the NEF files to
    an external HDD (which works OK) and then moving
    them (via standard Windows Explorer
    drag-and-drop) from the "Download" folder to an
    "Archive" folder on my computer internal hard
    drive.  I got the same error message when I tried
    to delete them from the "Download" folder.  My
    son, who works in computers, put me onto the
    Microsoft "Process Explorer" utility, to try and
    find which program was still using the files.
    3. I have had no problems with this workflow with
    my previous Nikon D70.  My suspicions about the
    D300 RAW files arose when the problem happened
    with the first one I tried to move / delete.
    4. The other "strange goings on" relate to trying
    to reopen one of the affected D300 NEF RAW files
    back into PSE Editor.  My PSE5 installation just
    stopped.  Today, after having reinstalled my PSE
    software, when trying to import one of the
    affected D300 NEF RAW files back into PSE
    Organiser, I got an error message relating to
    "Memory".  As this is all somewhat vague, I will
    try to recreate and note the error messages received.
    I look forward to any progress on this matter.
    Kind Regards

  • Is fox 35 and win. 8.1 and theAMD A8 compatable ?

    Have loaded and uninstalled fox 35 several times----no error warnings---set fox for default-----but the result is a Franken browser part Explorer 11 and part Fox 35 and not usable . On the 1st uninstall Explorer 11 vanished but it's still there---when I reload Fox it's the same Franken browser and I found Exp. 11 when I tried ''new internet connection'' it seems 11 is already running but not showing any longer on desktop or in programs but it is intact and not a franken browser. Is there conflict with using Fox 35 and Win. 8.1 and the AMD A8 ??

  • Adobe PSE 10 and 11 refuse to open.

    Hi, guys.
    I've been using PSE 10 on my current computer (currently running Windows 7, 64-bit) for quite some time now--a little over a year, I'd say. Everything worked fine before; I was able to open the editor and use it without problems. Just yesterday, I bought a new Intuos Creative tablet, and as soon as I finished installing it, I tried opening PSE 10's editor only to find that when the loading screen comes up, it'll freeze at "Initializing..." and I have to force-close the process with Task Manager. I've tried creating desktop shortcuts to the folders, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the program, I've tried running it in compatablility modes, and nothing works. The same thing applies to PSE 11's editor. Neither program will load, and I'm confused as to why this is happening (I made it so that I bypass the welcome screen, so I'm not sure how I'd be able to get there now). The strange thing is that the tablet and PSE 10 and 11 work just fine on the family desktop computer (running Windows Vista 32-bit).
    Is there a way of fixing this, or could it just be my tablet? Could it just be Windows 7 (as mentioned before, everything seems to work just fine on the family computer) and my tablet driver not getting along or something?
    Any help with this is appreciated greatly. Thanks.

    Try reverting to a system restore point just before installing your tablet. If things start working again then there is most likely a compatibility issue. You should also search the Intuos Creative site for an updated driver.
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Re-installing PSE 10 on Win 7 pro 64

    I'm having a issue involving re-installing PSE/PE10 onto my new Win 7 pro 64 home build.
    It started with-
    I had an issue right in the middle of installing software onto this new machine.
    I have multiple Hard Drives installed and during a recovery from being hit with some bugs (malware/virus) during all this installation I thought it best to unplug some of those drives to minimize potential damage.
    I had already installed PSE/PE 10 onto those drives and when I finally got back up and running the links to these installed programs no longer worked. Trying to re-define the links proved too much and so I thought a complete re-install of both programs should do it.
    I un-installed both programs
    Un-install, cleaned registry, found more folders (reading forums here) deleted those, cleaned registry, rebooted thru several of these processes,..and did manage to re-install PE 10, but PSE 10 is giving me fits and I can't figure out what else to do.
    I go to re-install PSE 10 and the only choice I get is to REMOVE the s/w from the pc (even tho it's already uninstalled). Okay, I'll do that and THEN proceed but- after offering to deactivate my software on this pc (okay I can do that) the only option it then gives me is to delete, fine, but when I select that option it then takes me to a window that informs me that the disk doesn't have the room available and even tho other disks are avail to click on, doing so doesn't allow any other selections to be made. The TARGET area (even tho it is for uninstall) is the install disk drive and I can't make another selection. So it ultimately does nothing!
    I managed to get PE 10 back onto the drive, what in the world remnants are staying behind to give Win 7 the impression that I still have the program installed and not allowing me to do just that- re-install it??
    Could really use some assistance on doing this before I wipe the whole HD as a last resort- ugh!
    ps- uninstalled Air, Organizer and any/all folders I could find related to anything Adobe thinking it was interferring with this

    I managed to RegEdit those areas but must have gotten heavy heanded in that, after cleaning all instances of Adobe out of the Registry I get another problem. I just went to try and install PSE 10 after doing as much cleaning as I know how;
    checking the registry as you suggested
    running a registry tool to check for  missing links etc
    rebooting after each pass to clean the drive
    When I went to install it tells me an error on the windows installer- "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your suppport"
    I must have taken too much out of the Registry. Is there a method to restore? Would that fix the issue?
    Thanks for the assistance
    ps- FYI, upon trying to run the PE10 installer it seems as if that was going to work. I cancelled out of it until I fix the PSE 10 issue. But it did get further than the PSE installer and no error messages.

  • Problems with PSE 11 and Filter Forge

    Is anyone else having problems launching Filter Forge from PSE 11?  It used to work, but now freezes after a very partial load.  FF still works with PSE 9, and yes, I have the latest version of PSE 11 installed on a 64-bit version of Win 7 Pro.

    I did not use the trial version of PSE 7 but installed directly from a purchased CD.  The "registration" option under the help menu of the editor is not highlighted and there is no option to deactivate the serial number under help in either the editor or the organizer.  Therefore I must assume that Ankush is correct that there is nothing that I need to do prior to uninstalling PSE 7.
    Also, am I correct to assume that since this original post was marked as a discussion and not a question, I do not need to close it in any way?
    Thanks to all who have responded and offered assistance.

  • Tried PSE 8, unhappy, problems w/ PSE 5 in Win 7 Virtual

    This post is frankly my last hope with Adobe.  I loved PSE 5 in Win XP.  New computer, Win 7 Pro, backed up catalog in old computer, downloaded trial of PSE 8, unable to recover catalog, just a mass of broken links.  Took backup to another computer with PSE 5, recovered catalog and all links intact.  Downloaded PSE 8 on that computer, converted files to PSE 8, backed up in 8, brought back to "new" computer, got catalog and tags, but all links broken.  All attempts to fix broken links failed.  I am completely dissatisfied with 8, and will not buy.  It froze up several times and is frustratingly slow.  Just seems not to be a good product.
    Since I liked 5, set up virtual pc in Win 7, installed 5 and still cannot get it to recover from the backup.  Backup is good because it worked on the "other" computer.
    Give up on Elements?  Do I gain anything going to CS5?  Sony is looking very good right now.  Any ideas?

    Good suggestion.  You are absolutely right that the Editor functions are great.  I am just getting started with GIMP, and if that doesn't work out I will try just using the editor.  I have also learned that the PSE Organizer made me lazy, and now with Picasa I will have to pay a great deal more attention to how I organize folders of images.  In the end, that is a good thing because software comes and software goes, but I want to keep the images; so not relying on the software so much will make it easier to adapt in the future.  The best lessons are learned the hard way.  Thanks to all for the comments.
    While I'm sure no one at Adobe give a hoot what I think, I need to say it anyway.  As a former fan, I am totally soured on Adobe products and will now seek out and use open source substitutes for Dreamweaver and Acrobat to the extent possible.  Did the bean counters take control?

  • EAX and Win back confidence

    I am hoping that Creative can built their next generation X-Fi into the speakers , home entertainment system and so on one day instead of solely dependant on the PC. It should also make use of Zii to make up on the shortfalls of X-Fi to process very complex and very intensi've?audio environment. Continue their developments on EAX and OpenAL?which is important for developers.
    Microsoft ditch DirectSound and DirectSound3D but developers still works on EAX through OpenAL.
    Developers still use EAX as a de-facto standard and PC audio industry called this SoundBlaster compatibility. Creative has responsibility to ensure that all their SoundBlaster works and provide great EAX supports whenever. They should constantly review their drivers, their software release to provide greater supports. It's a responsibility which brings trust, quality and continue reliability.
    This can win back their lost market share and win back confidence.
    While Creative create the next generation EAX standard and sound blaster, they should explain what type of engineering was created which was so distinctly different from before?and be proud to explain these merits to all. Creative?can raise the bar of the industry with next generation EAX and audio solutions. It should be using?superior and specialise hardware to deli'ver that and not any software or processor based. (too bloated)
    Creative marketing needs to be somehow?more technical to?market its products.
    Creative sale needs to?be more open and?understand?market needs.
    Creative support?needs to?be responsi've to market needs and changes as the sale face tough market competitions....

    Creative should quickly move towards computational audio... compute audio in various ways...
    e.g. understand difficult audio environment... like multiple layers of sound...
    Distinguish environment, distinguish?emotions like?fear, danger, happy and?sad...
    Have useful features like voice translation, voice to words translation... languages translation...
    Perhaps this? might requires a very comprehensi've audio?database?and?also algorithm.
    Creative should?use its expertise to continue it's development on audio and reinvent the audio architecture and interaction architecture.
    This?could be?a reality in times to come...
    It could change the audio landscape as it's currently very dull.

  • Can you run PSE 8 and PSE 12 (with premiere elements 12) on same computer?

    Can you have both programs, PSE 8 and PSE 12 (and premiere elements 12) on the same computer without compatibility issues?

    Yes.

  • How I install PSE 10 and end up with 64-bit version?

    I just installed PSE 10 on my Win 7 64-bit system.  From reading these forums, I understand that disc 2 of the 3-disc set contains the 64-bit version.  But the referenced install help (and the disc labeling itself) says clearly to "start with disc 1" in either case.  So I did that, expecting at some point to be prompted to switch to disc 2.  But I never was.  The default install location was in Program Files (x86), which I belatedly realize is the wrong folder.  So I guess I need to un-install and re-install.
    But what's the right way to get the 64-bit version?  Manually modify the install location to Program Files w/o the x86?  Start from disc 2 anyway, despite what Adobe says?  I haven't yet started PSE 10...is it better to uninstall now, or start PSE 10 and make sure new catalog etc gets established?
    (I have a similar posting over in the Downloading & Installation forum, but find I get lots faster responses here.)

    Yeah as Michel says PSE is only 32 bit; so you only need one disk and Program Files (x86) is the correct location. Only use disk 2 if you want to install the 30 day trial of the video editing software Premier Elements which does have 64 bit support.

  • PSE 12 and PSE 10 installation

    PSE 12 would install to a certain point, then kept getting error PSE 10 "Welcome window" open.  It wasn't.   When I tried to open PSE 10, no luck. It was frozen. Diffiulty in finally uninstalling PSE 10.
    All this was on my Win 8.1 laptop.
    I want to keep PSE 10 on my desktop AND install PSE 12, but I am reluctant as it created so many problems on the laptop.
    What did I do wrong?

    uninstall pse 10 (and, if pse 12 is installed, uninstall it too).
    then install pse 10 and pse 12.

  • Why does new PSE 8 and 9 both crash on my new Toshiba laptop with Windows 7?

    I bought new PSE Elements 8 and 9 and both crashed immediately on my new Toshiba Satellite P 755 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS. I tried going into Properties of PSE 9 and going to Compatability and putting in Windows 7 but it didn't do any good. Please help!

    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  10\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.

  • Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number.  Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions?  Many thanks.

    Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number.  Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions?  Many thanks.

    Yes it should work transferring PSE10 from Mac to Mac. There is a download link below for PSE10, which your friend could use. There is a formal licence transfer process but it’s not necessary for your friend to register the product (activation is sufficient) although he couldn’t benefit from future upgrade pricing without registration. Serial numbers typically can only be registered one time.
    Boxed versions of PSE are normally multi-platform with disks for both Windows and Mac; so the serial number is the same. Downloads have tended to be single platform only although I believe the current version PSE12 will work on both Windows and Mac with the same serial number – boxed or download.

  • I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
    People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
    ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
    Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
    So IMO we can divide image processing into:
    operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
    operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
    When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
    Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
    ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.
