Dng convertere stopped working

Question

When i first downloaded dng converter it worked fine.After about a month it stopped working.Instead of the raw file showing up as abox in which 'dng' was written,psd box showd up instead and when clicking on this it opens up the raw file editor but then when try ing to save the image i psd there is no jpeg in the dropdown box to save it as. There is only psd ,jiff and some others. There was a jpeg choice when i first downloaded and the dng box. So what happened.?? I have tried several times downloading again but still same problem. Checking somewhere on the comp it said 'control host stopped working. Dont uninstall in case it starts to work again. this was a few months ago that it stopped working.Also it seems there is not 1raw and 1 jpeg file...sometimes ther are 3 or 4 raw files as psd and only one jpeg. Hope that clear.Thanks.

Answer 1

I received a link from a photo forum..(could not copy and paste it) Adobe Creative Cloud.PSCC/ In depth, Digital Negative DNG.
He said he downloaded this and could convert raw images saving as jpeg or jiff etc. I did this in August last year and it worked exactly as he said. I dont remember where the files where the files i downloaded fom my camera were ending up. Must have been PICTURES IN LIBRARIES WHICH COMES WITH WINDOWS 7. This I have had about 1 yr. When i downloaded the adobe dng the raw files then appeared as a box with dng printed on it. This with jpeg image which can be seen next to the box dng. Clicking on the dng box then came up in pse with the RAW file editor. I edited the image and clicked on save image at the bottom . This then came up in pse screen and i clicked on FILE ----SAVE AS---Then there was a drop down box with lists of types to choose from jpeg was available. clicking on this I could then see the edited image. Now this doesnt exist. But there is no longer the box with 'DNG' printed on it. This probably still leaves you just as much in the dark as I am. I dont really understand anyway how this works,but it worked the first downloading. In anycase Windows photo gallery was not working ,no images were coming up in that place. Question is ...what should happen when you download dng converter. The RAW file ......what should it look like.??
My photos are now going into windows library . There is no DNG converter to choose from. There is a list,including pse. windows view finder ,Adobe Reader and several others,If you can give me an idea what I should see if dng has been downloaded 'properly'. But it was installed thru Wizard  and i completed this to finish so ... cant see how it has not been downloaded correctly. Anyway it did work in August and came up in pse. ...so it does seem to work in adobe pse. It is afterall meant to work in Adobe photoshop inst it? It is an Adobe product ....the dng i mean. As you said there seems to be something else that's involved as to why not functioning.
