Could not initialize photoshop elements could not initialize ACE implementation

Hi,
Hoping somebody can help.I have Adobe photoshop elements 2.0 (i know its pretty old).Its always worked well until lately its bringing this message up and not letting me open it : could not inialize photoshop elements could not initialize ACE implementation.
I have been trying to clean up the computer and am not 100% confident at using the computer so im afraid i have deleted or locked something that this program needs to run.
Can any body help?
Erica

Repair does not work on any Windows version of PSE. Try resetting the preferences: Press and hold CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT when launching Elements until you see a box asking if you want to delete the settings. Yes, you do.

Is Photoshop Elements 9 or later compatible with Windows 8 32- or 64-bit?

What versions of Photoshop Elements work on Windows 8 64bit?
I have PE 9 and it does not seem to work. The editor appears to load and work. The organizer loads but is missing some of the menu options. It appears to be incompatiable.
I know the adobe site says PE11 works but does mention 32bit or 64 bit. How about PE10?

" Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because... "

Hi Everyone,
So, I have this problem with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. Everytime I try to open the program itself I get the following message...
"Could not initialize Photoshop Elements beacuse the file is locked. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
I have read many threads on this problem, and have tried it all... I might have missed something but I don't think I did..
I didn't try to do anything with the program, just one day it wouldn't work...
If you have any ideas Please let me know !
Thank you,

Photoshop Elements does not start
Some of you have reported a problem when starting Photoshop Elements:
"Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the file is locked.
Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
SOLUTION:
Sometimes Photoshop Elements may start acting strange and may start to cause problems that weren't there before, or Photoshop Elements might become corrupt. One simple fix to a variety of problems is to delete the settings file and have Photoshop create a brand new one during next startup.
To do this hold down the following keys while the program starts:
Ctrl+Shift+Alt
You should be prompted with a dialog box that says:
"Delete the Adobe settings file?"
Click ok and the program will continue to start.
If you don't get the dialog box asking if you wish to delete the settings file, then you didn't hold down the key command early enough. Close Photoshop and try again.

Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:

"Could not initialize Photoshop Elements because the scratch disks are full"

I have just installed Photoshop Elements 2 on my new computer. When I try to open the program, I get the message that the scratch disks are full !!! It's a new computer --lots of memory and almost no programs installed yet. The program works perfectly fine on my old computer...never have gotten a message about scratch disks.
What do I have to do to get Photoshop Elements 2 to work on my new computer? And please don't tell me to buy a later edition of Photoshop Elements! I already have Version 9 as well, but I tend to use Version 2 more for simple tasks.

Is it not possible to launch any part of the program? Even going to a folder and right clicking an image and choosing “Open with Photoshop Elements” or double clicking the application “PhotoshopElements” in Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements
Program Files (x86) on Windows 64 bit. It’s not clear what you can do otherwise.
Normally scratch disks are allocated through preferences e.g. in PSE2
Edit à Preferences à Plug-ins & Scratch Disks
First disk is normally allocated to start up and you need to allocate the second to the C: drive or other volume.
You can check this if you still have PSE2 working on an old machine but unless anyone else can think of a solution you may be stuck.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Try this:
Open your picture file
Access the clone stamp tool
Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
TIPS:
It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
Let us know how you make out with the error message now.

Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer wont open "DirectX is installed but could not be initialized. Reboot your system and relaunch Organizer"

All of a sudden, I go to open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and get this message in a box:
"DirectX is installed, but could not be initialized. Please reboot your system and relaunch Organizer."
Using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Office 2010 Home and Student on a Dell T3500 workstation with 3.20Ghz Xeon Processor, 12 GB Ram and a 2GB EVGA 650ti Boost graphics card.
The only thing I can think of since the last time I used PSE10 Organizer was the October, 2014 Windows updates were installed.
Any ideas anyone, Adobe seems fairly silent on this issue, and there is not much info out there on this for a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system.
Please help.

All Windows OS updates installed, all Norton Internet Security updated daily.
Went to Microsoft to try downloading DirectX just in case that was the problem, and they say you already have the newest version.
Still receive the same message. I'm at a loss, not sure what to do.

Maybe you need to enable Direct Play under Legacy Components in the Turn Windows Features on or off dialog.
1. Right click on the windows start Logo on the taskbar, select Control Panel and click on Programs
2. Under Programs and Features click on Turn Windows Features on or off and then under Legacy Components enable Direct Play

Photoshop elements editor Could not complete your request because fo a program error

I am running PSE 8.0. On some of my photos I cannot save the image.
Even if I do no editing on the photo and just do a "save as" in a completely
different folder I get the error message Could not complete your request
because of a program error.
I have set the RAM preferences to 1100MB and the history states to 20.
What is the program error?
Looking at the discussion forum, this problem has been there since 2007.
Doesn't Adobe fix its software?

I would suggest you to reset the preferences file of photoshop elements and then try. Follow these steps
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.

Photoshop Elements 6: Could not use type tool because the file could not be found

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 well for a while.
Tried to use the Type Tool to overlay text and obtained this error:
Could not use the type tool because the file could not be found
After research, I reset all tools, tried to repair (failed: insert disc one), and then removed/re-installed. Still have the same problem.
Are the system fonts corrupt or is an Adobe .ini file suspect?
Other reports have suggested using a 3rd-party font manager to inspect/disable fonts.
First wanted to post this error here for feedback/recommendations
Any suggestion on how to recover the Type Tool functionality?

Adobe Photoshop Elements Repair Workaround
When trying to repair the well-known: insert disc one, error occurred. Was able to successfully repair the installation by dragging the entire Adobe Photoshop Elements directory from the original CD-ROM onto a hard drive and executing locally. Seems it does not like repairing over the CD-ROM but it works correctly if the install source is on disc...

John,
Yesterday, I decided to completely remove all Adobe products: PSE 6, Premiere 4, Reader, ActiveX plugins & legacy/old uninstalled product directories that Adobe has left turd-lets around including old Acrobat 3/6 directories. Used A/D Software to remove all adobe products and then followed your instructions AND the instructions on Adobe's support web site to manually remove these products.
It boiled down to manually removing the entire Adobe directory in Progam Files, "saving" the entire Adobe directory structure in each users (3) Document and Settings in the Application Data and Local Settings (as instructed by you and Adobe) and rebooting.
I also saved the local All Users "configuration" database/cache that contained the Tag and other information to make sure the system was clean
This included following the manual Regit instructions to remove legacy Adobe registry hives. I deleted all keys for all Adobe product trees that I could locate (following instructions from Adobe).
Reboot
Scheduled a CHCKDSK on all drives and rebooted
Dragged my complete image library to an archive location and deleted them on the C: drive
Did a complete system Defrag
Re-installed Adobe and alas still have the same problem with the Type Tool....
The only thing I did not do was selectively remove the "fonts" because various instructions seemed to indicate many are "required" by the windows or other applications and I was not really sure how to identify which ones were safe to remove w/o affecting the core system.. I'll have to re-read these instructions next.
Microsoft has a "Font Validator" tool, but that only checks 1 font at a time and you have to read the "results". May look for other tools.
Will be able to check the font structure this weekend since it will take some research before I'm comfortable just removing fonts in trial/error mode. I'll need to make a backup image of my computer before I start this (just in case).
Thanks for follow-ups too!

Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7. I'm sure it did when I first got my computer. Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
Try checking that if you don't.

I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing? How do I remove and install my own? I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
Hope this helps.

Which operating system are you running on?
Do you get this error when loading or using the organizer or the editor?
What are you trying to do when you get this error?
If you are using raw files, which camera (make and model) do you use to create the raw files?
If you can load the editor, which version of camera raw do you have loaded? - see Help -> about Plug-in -> Camera raw
