Computer crash with Photoshop Elements 4 with Reader 9

I've gotten by just fine with Elements 4 for editing my photos, so I've never upgraded to the newest one.  I've found that every time my system has BOTH Reader 9 AND Elements 4, Windows XP freezes the next time I reboot.
I thought it was Reader 9 by itself, but I've actually reformatted my hard drive and started over.  The most recent time, I already had Reader 9 working fine, but it crashed again when I installed Elements 4.  I recovered XP to before the installation and tried again.  Same thing.
Any ideas?  I'd prefer to avoid buying a new Elements, but Adobe harasses me constantly if I don't upgrade (or it does it automatically).
Thanks!

You can probably find PSE 7 for less than that, since it is almost time for PSE 8.
Try to run PSE 4 in XP Compatability.  Some folks have reported success with that.  Also, it may run in regular Vista if you increase its pagefile size.

In addition, you need to set it to "run as administrator". Right click the program icon and select "Run as Administrator" from the menu list. It's a one time deal like the compatibility setting. No guarantee, however, PSE4 will work on your machine. It works for some; doesn't for others.

    Hi All
    My computer crashed with lightroom open, since restart I get a msg 'LR encounted an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit'
    I'd appreciate any suggestions
    Many thanks

    Many thanks for your help, at lease the LR is working now. How do I rebuild previews and smart previews or will this happen automatically?
    Many thanks

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • Hello i have a problem when i start woorksheet, my computer crash with blue screen sometimes.

    hello i have a problem when i start woorksheet, my computer crash with blue screen.
    OS: Win 2000 pack 2 and dasylab 7.00.05 ;ddi7.02 ;nidaq 7.0
    I hve this problem sometimes and need to reebot my computer.This worksheet is used to generate 4 signals to output and have an acquisition tooin this 4 channels.
    The error is in the blue screen:0x00000076 (0x00000000 , 0x81358300, 0x000001c2, 0x00000000).
    Thanks for your help.

    The DASYLab development team has read your message, and advises that there is insufficient information to be able to even start diagnosing the problem. We suggest that you send a note directly to [email protected], with your full contact information, DASYLab serial number, and the following technical information:
    -The Help-->Report information - this will tell us more about the computer, video and installed memory
    -Installed hardware - what DAQ devices are you using (exact models!)
    -The worksheet that crashes - we need to see how the timing is configured in the worksheet
    -What other programs are running at the same time?
    -Does the worksheet crash every time?
    -Does the NI-DAQ Test Panel work correctly for both inputs and outputs?
    Sorry that we cannot be more help in this forum; we do not have much experience with blue screen under Windows 2000. This is very hard to do, and is almost always related to a hardware problem - either a resource conflict, or problems with one of the installed hardware devices (DAQ, Video, Memory...).

  • Organizer crashing in Photoshop Elements 10

    Why are so many people having the Organizer crash in Photoshop Elements 10 and does anyone actually have a solution to the problem?

    Just like every other application in the world, there are about a hundred different and unique situations where the Organizer crashes. The broad categories for why any application (including the Organizer) crashes are:
    1. Interfering background/foreground applications
    --Test: try runnning the software with all other background/foreground applications closed.
    --Solution: Find the interfering application. If you don't need/use it, remove it from the computer. Otherwise, upgrade it to the latest version to help eliminate conflicts. Or don't run it while running the application in question.
    --Document: Disable startup items, services | Windows (Mac users should run in Safe Boot to accomplish the same)
    2. User account settings/permissions
    --Test: create a new user account, log into it, run the application.
    --Solution: There are a number of settings that are unique to your each user account. Some are tied to individual applications, some are system wide. However, we cannot dictate the full spectrum of personalization that happens per account.
    --Document: Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Windows 7, Vista
    Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Mac OS
    3. User files
    --Test: new blank files. In the case of Elements Organizer, this would be a new, blank catalog (File > Catalog > New)
    --Solution: Try repairing your catalog (File > Catalog > Repair). The issue could also be tied to a file or files you've recently imported (i.e. around the time the crashing behavior began).
    --Document: Troubleshoot catalog issues | Organizer | Elements 6 and later
    4. Hardware conflicts
    --Test: hardware is extremely difficult to test, and is also the least likely source of most issues.
    --Solution: Make sure the drivers for your hardware are current, as downloaded and installed from the manufacturer's web site.
    5. Other
    --There are still other possible causes. Computers are very complex machines, so much so that each one as is as unique as your own fingerprint. Unless there is a bug in the application (i.e. the program crashes when you take steps x, y, z but otherwise operates correctly), there is going to be a unique solution to your particular issue.

  • 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:

  • Lost (Uninstalled in a lean up at a a local computer store) Premium Photoshop Elements 10

    Lost (Uninstalled in a clean up at a local computer store) Premium Photoshop Elements 10 that came factory installed on my Inspiron 570; did not register it. Is there a way to get it back? I had to have my hard-drive wiped/restored after my motherboard got corrupted. Please help?

    The hard drive doesn't have a registry, but this is not the place to discuss the work done by your local computer shop.
    You'll need to contact your computer maker for a system recovery disk.  They'll probably charge you for it, but in your situation that's the only way you'll get the computer back to the way it was when you received it from the factory.

  • I just bought the canon 5d mark iii and my photoshop elements 10 wont read my raw files. I want to buy photoshop elements 13...is this compatible with my new camera?

    I just bought the canon 5d mark iii and my photoshop elements 10 won't read my raw files. I want to buy photoshop elements 13 but want to make sure my camera is compatible with it first. Thank you for your help!

    Photoshop elements 10 should be able to open those files if you update to camera raw 6.7
    Which operating system are you using?
    windows
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
    mac
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
    Also, photoshop elements 13 will open those files as well.

  • How do I get a reinstall on my computer after a crash for photoshop elements?

    Alright so this is what happened, the last time my computer crashed my dad had to restart it because the virus was so bad, he even reinstalled windows and all for me, except when I went to find my Photoshop elements that was included with my deal on my mini hp tord boontjie, I couldnt find it. I must have thrown it out when I moved without realizing it, and I was wondering if its possible to get a reinstall of this product because im not willing to pay that much for photoshop elements. If anyone could help me on this issue, i would be very glad. Thanks in advance.

    It didnt come on the computer, it was in a seperate box inside the same box, so you had to upload it on there with a memory card, im asking about the photoshop elements, if its possible to recover that, because the only reason I bought the laptop was for the photoshop included in the deal..

  • Computer Crashed with iTunes+songs

    I have computer that has crashed and now it needs to be restored. the computer has iTunes with some songs from the store and from my cd. is there anyway to get these songs back? i know i can rip the ones from the cd. I have reciepts that iTunes sends me whenever i download a song, anyway to use those to get songs back?

    Allen,
    If you have no backup files and the computer HD is toast, then recovering those files may be impossible. You can try emailing Apple about your iTMS songs, but they are quite explicit in their warning to backup your files as the download is a one-time event without a re-purchase.
    If you have some/all songs on your iPod, then these links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
    Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free – music recovery only)
    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free – music recovery only)
    Copying music from iPod to computer (a primer on various methods and software)
    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)
    iPodRip Software
    PodUtil Software
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    XPlay (For Cross-Platform Functionality & Music Recovery)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    You need at least three sets of your music: on the PC within iTunes, on an external backup medium, and on the iPod (in full or in partial).
    Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup.
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl).

  • All CS2 apps crash with "Read Only Memory Exception" error.

    Machine Specs.
    Apple G5 1.8ghz DP
    OS X 10.4.10
    It doesn't matter which one I open, they all crash with the same error. This started when a user placed a support ticket for their mac not starting up. I wasn't able to save the user so I created a new user, and then moved their desktop files over to the new user. However the only files I moved were those on the desktop, and their Notes data directory.
    Thinking my job done I marked the tickets closed and walked away.
    I got a call later when the user came into the office and the issue was that Indesign CS2 was crashing with a "Read Only Memory Exception" error. I first deleted the Preferences on the machine. That didn't work.
    So I created a new user to see if it was the user causing the errors. I received the same error when opening Indesign CS2 from the brand new user account. I also tested all other CS2 programs and got the same errors.
    Next I tried deleting the CS2 programs and re-installing them. No luck, same error, even with a new user. I have not re-installed any plug-ins with the new App installs yet.
    Removed all fonts, and ran a font cache cleaner. Same error.
    Finally, the last thing I've tried is to manually remove every adobe application on the machine. Acrobat 5/6/7, CS1, CS2...etc. I have also removed any Adobe files/folders in the //library/, and /$home/Library/.
    Yet I still get the same error. Short of a complete wipe I'm not sure where to proceed next. I'm really confused and hoping someone can give me some clues.

    Thanks to a comcast permissions error any new files I upload to my comcast.net pages requires the administrator username/password to even see the file to download it. Simply giving out the URL for new files results in page not found errors.
    So for the forseeable future I don't see any way to upload this file correctly. Its there on my webspace all 63megs of it. If I login through the FTP account I can upload and download to my hearts content but since anonymous access is disabled I'm not giving out my administrator login info.
    I've got a gig of space, using 22mb of it, and can't upload any more files because no-one has permissions to access them.
    I spent a half hour on the phone with comcast trying to figure this out. However I don't know whats going on with their end. I have a trouble ticket open for a level 3 tech, we'll see whats going on.
    So the Font Scrubber will remain unavailable for the time being unless someone wants to give me guest upload access to a FTP account. I'm not opening a fileshare account with anyone, don't like'm.
