Elements 11 Editor not opening

I can open and select pictures in PSE 11 but cannot open pictures in Editor. It acts like its working, says authenticating then nothing no notice or warning pops up. So I tried opening directly into Editor and it won't let me do that either. I really wish I could actually get tech support without paying for it, like every other company in the world.

Does this mean that you can open the files in Organizer?

Deactivate Photoshop Elements 8 - Editor not opening

Hello,
I have previously installed Elements 8.0 in my PC, and everything was working well until I changed the partition in my Hard Disk.
Ever since PSE won't run. I run the Elements Organizer manually, and it works, but whenever I want to run the Editor it keeps telling me:
"could not open a scratch file because the file could not be found."
And, After clicking ok, another box pops up and says
"could not intialize photoshop because the file could not be found."
So there's one problem..I've tried deleting the preferences file (Adobe Photoshop Prefs.PSP) but still the same problem. The Organizer works but not the Editor.
But actually, what I want to do is do a clean installation of my OS (Windows XP), but first I need to deactivate the working copy of PSE, which I can only do from the Editor (which is not opening!). How can I deactivate it?? Is there any manual way to do it without necessarily having to open the Editor?
I am afraid that if I just format my Hard Drive and then reinstall everything, it wont accept my serial key. I have installed PSE in other machine, so I need this serial key to work in my machine.
Thank you very much!
Ricardo

So, finally I called to Adobe Support, and after trying (without any positive outcome) to solve the error I had so that I could access the PSE8 Editor; they told me that it was not possible to deactivate PSE8 through the phone, and that if I had any problem, I should call again to the License Support phone number.
I had previously installed PSE8 on other PC, so I was worried that I could not use the only activation I had left in my notebook. However, it turns out that after formatting my hard drive and re-installing Windows, I was able to reinstall PSE8, using the serial key I've got.
It would be nice what sort of information is sent to Adobe when "activating" the software (it should be some kind of "unique" information from our PCs), so that next time we should not worry that much about deactivating the SW before formatting or reinstalling the OS, as long as it's the same computer (and that "unique" informatio still applies).
Well, thanks anyway for trying to help.
Regards,
Ricardo

Elements 9 editor NOT opening!!!

HELP!!!
After owning Pse 9 for a couple years now, iam having problems opening the editor.
I have read through many of the forums and tried:
Creating a shortcut to open pse.
resetting the preferences
altering the Twain plugin name( it says pse.8ba) and another which says "save for web(el).8be"
re-installing
Tried running via the administrator method...
ALL TO NO AVAIL!
I have a Sony vaio 64 bit laptop running windows 7.
After re-installing PSE 9 the editor DID open via the "run the administrator" option for a couple days....and now its being defiant again!
Im hoping someone can come up with a genius solution, but if not, can someone please tell me how i can get a refund?
Yours...In hope!
Jamie.

Adobe premiere Elements 12 will not open editor

I had Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my laptop and worked fine. Decided to upgrade to Elements 12 and did but version 12 will not open editor, says sign in, I sign in but no editor. Organizer opens and loaded my Photos and videos. I purchased full retail version for download. My laptop runs windows 8.1 and has an Intel Core i5 dual core processor and 4GB ram.

Have you gone to Computer/Manager/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications and looked for error entries that appear to be associated with this problem?
Did you purchase Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12, and does Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor open whereas Premiere Elements 12 will not open to its Expert or Quick workspaces?
You have probably tried it, but can you open to the Premiere Elements workspaces from the Elements Organizer workspace?
More later.

Editor in elements 8 will not open. using windows 7 home premium. can this be fixed

editor in elements 8 will not open. computer has windows 7 home premium. steve

You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open.

My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Clicking to open, will not reveal the usual “edit” or “organize” choice windows. Only the main “edit” working window opens. In a moment, a smaller window within will also open. It states “Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
I am running it on a Dell laptop with six gigs of RAM and a Core i5 processor.
Should I attempt to reinstall? During original installation, the only thing I was not asked was to give blood! So, if reinstalling on the same machine is the solution, will Adobe allow this?
Thanks,
Frank

I have tried and failed. It was loaded from disc just purchased at Best buy. It loaded fine but will not start up at all. I have looked for the launch program and tried other methods but no success yet.

Elements 11 will not open...no previous problem before 2/08/12

Elements 11 will not open..no previous problem before 2/08/12

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.
Thanks,
Garry

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 will not open photo files

You are rude, to say the least. It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible. Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe. The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with. I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

Purchased photoshop elements 6. My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos. It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
I tried installing it. It said it was installed, but it will not open. Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer. Did not work. Tried to run it as an administrator. Did not work.
I have windows vista 64 bit.
If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

It's likely that, having just installed W7, there are a fair number of updates you should apply:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.9 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Post back here with the necessary information (especially about your PC) described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a yhearÉ

PSE12 editor stopped working - sas elements 12 editor not working - how can i get editor to work - which has been working fine for a year nowÉ

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...
