Elements 11 has stopped working.  Please help?

Yesterday my computer shut down while I was working in Photoshop Elements 11.  Now when I try to get back in, it reads error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working.  Windows is trying to find a solution".  But it never does and then Editor just closes.  I looked at the forum and tried a few things people posted but nothing is working.  Please help.

The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. This is because PSE saves your settings each time you close the application. Problems can sometimes occur if you don’t let the program close properly or if you launch another application too quickly whilst closing down Elements. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst  clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
When you 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 keyboard has stopped working - please help!

    Hello.
    For some reason, the keyboard on my Satellite 1000 series notebook has stopped working (I think someone may have spilled some liquid on it...). Device manager shows 'easy internet keyboard' and 'logitech HID-compliant keyboard' (one of which relates to a USB keyboard i have been forced to buy).
    Any chance anyone knows what's happening and how I can get my keyboard working again? Maybe something to do with reinstalling drivers??

    Hi Adam
    If someone has spilled some liquid there must be hardware malfunction and I assume that keyboard is defect now. Try to contact service partner and pick up some information how much the new keyboard costs. You can also a Google a little bit around and find which keyboard fit to your notebook model.
    In my opinion you can exchange it alone.

  • My Refine Edge in Photoshop CS6 has STOPPED WORKING, please help!

    Photoshop CS6
    Windows 8.1
    I have been using refine edge with no problem for months.
    everything worked great!
    I was able to extract out hair and edges very, very, very well...
    but about 2 weeks ago...something changed... the refine edge brush no longer works.
    When I click on Refine Edge... instead of a brush icon, I get the CIRCLE with a SLASH and my system keeps dinging because the tool is just not available.
    I deleted my preferences...but it is still a problem
    NOW... when I adjust the sliders, i don't see a preview of the adjustments...
    Please help!!!!

    no difference.
    i have tried to check and uncheck everything...
    if i adjust the sliders, i get NO Preview... but when i click OK, the resulting photo has been completely ruined by the tool...
    I tried deleting preferences...no change
    the weird thing is that this problem was very sudden.  Just a few weeks ago, I was using refine edge with NO PROBLEM. it is my GO TO tool for extracting people out of pictures...
    but then one day, it just stopped working...
    Do i need to reinstall CS6???

  • Printing subsystem has stopped working - please help

    I have had my imac for 4 months and now priniting has stopped.
    I have a canon 4300 for prints and an HP office 6200 for B&W everyday stuff. The canon is directly attached via usb and the 6200 is attached to my new AEBS. i can configure my canon just fine using print and fax utility however it finds the HP via bonjour automatically but when i push ADD it gives an "error trying to add the selected printer" and the error says "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes."?
    I also seems to find the same 6200 printer as a shared printer and will config and add it ok but somehow i dont think thats correct.
    When i try to print to the canon i get an error from any application - some say not enough memory - I have 2GB. Same thing happens when i try and print to the HP. THe strange thing is that I can use the maintenance utiliies to get to the canon and it runs them so the connection is ok something with the print subsystem.

    Plot thickens, I can print to these printers just fine from my wireless attached macbook pro! Interesting it sees the HP as Bonjour and the Canon as direct attached - it does see the extra HP "shared". This seems to be isolating it to the imac and not the printers or connections. Please help this is tough,

  • My Touchpad Has Stopped Working, Please Help

    My touchpad has locked itself. I can't click even with the buttons that are below the touchpad, it doesn't scroll or move, it won't do anything whatsoever. It has done this before, but usually it just works itself out on its own after a few minutes of leaving it alone. But not this time, this time it's been like this for a few days already. I tried to do the F2/F9/F10 solution that was talked about in one of the topics I read, but...pressing F2 doesn't do anything on the splash screen for me, let alone be able to do the other stuff that was mentioned. System Restore also hasn't done anything. I have a wireless mouse for the time being, but I'd rather have my touchpad back if possible because...being a wireless mouse...it basically eats batteries like they're candy...so to speak. >.> So, here's my model's info, I hope you guys can help me with it. Toshiba Satellite C55-A5354Part NO. PSCF6U-04T00CWindows 8.1 64-Bit If more info is needed, let me know and I'll try to find it.

    I have turned off auto update, I'm not sure where to go to uninstall an update though, I can turn it off but not uninstall, lol. But the last update was a couple of weeks ago and my mouse has been fine up until like three days ago, so I don't think an update caused it. I uninstalled the driver and let it automatically reinstall twice now, but nothing. Just in case it's helpful, here's the driver info too. Driver Name: Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPadVersion: 17.0.10.51

  • Quicktime has stopped working - please help

    Hi,
    I've been using the quicktime that comes with the machine (haven't purchased the upgrade). A little while ago I downloaded a few add ons for quicktime from apple's quicktime components page (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html) because I thought they would help me play some obscure file types (they didn't).
    In any event, I don't know if it's related, be since then I'm getting a lot of blank screens on websites with just the Q symbol and a question mark. For instance, I can't play anything on youtube. Where the video should be is just that Q symbol and the question mark. I seem to have no problem playing things like the mac vs pc commercials on apple.com.
    I'm willing to put my quicktime back to the way it was if that would fix this, but I don't know how to do that.
    Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

    YouTube videos are nearly all Flash media and to view them you must install Flash Player (free) and its browser plug-in.
    You may also need to "turn off" the QuickTime browser plug-in from trying to play Flash media.
    Sys Prefs/QuickTime/Advanced/MIME Settings button
    Remove the check mark (Miscellaneous) for Flash Media.
    Quit and relaunch any open browser and try the pages again.

  • "Adobe elements has stopped working."

    I've received the error "Adobe elements has stopped working" and then the program closes.  It has happened numerous times and now happens more and more often.  Does anyone have any fixes for this?

    I've been having the same problem.
    Win7 64bit 8GB RAM, 500GB free hard drive space.  All Win updates in place on a regular basis (last time was 2 days ago).
    I often get the "stopped working" popup message on my desktop right after I close the program (well, yeah, I would hope it would stop working when I close it) and also increasingly get it on the desktop when I open the program (before the PE12 screen opens).  This latter popup "stopped working" message will persist until I close the popup window, even though the program is working just fine.
    The most occurrences of actual crashes seem to be when doing a lot of titles (new or editing existing), when saving, and when exporting.
    For awhile it seemed (very subjectively) that rendering the project before saving or exporting possibly helped reduce the number of occurrences, but just now the "stopped working" message popped up and the program quit while I was rendering (got about 80% through).
    This time I checked the "check online for a solution" box, but to no avail--there was a brief period while Windows searched online, and then the program shut down anyway.
    I've tried rebooting, making sure other programs were closed, etc. but nothing really seems to have much effect.  The same project will save or export just fine on one occasion, then if I so much as change a word in a title it will become unstable.  The entire project is 26 minutes long.  One video track (2) with titles, one main video track (1), one audio track (mostly empty) of ambient sound with the video, one sound track.
    I will try Steve's suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-Shift for awhile on opening.  (This helps when PSE tools freeze up.)  Thanks for the tip!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Safari has stopped working! HELP!

When i open safari i get an error message stating "safari has stopped working" and then under that is a green loading bar stating "windows is checking for a solution." When i wait for a solution nothing happens and safari just shuts down. Ive tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but the same problem occurs. Ive even tried going into "uninstall a program" and repairing both safari and apple support center.....still no luck. Please help im using internet explorer right now and i hate is so much...i miss safari

    Recently however safari has "stopped working". When i open safari i get an error message stating "safari has stopped working" and then under that is a green loading bar stating "windows is checking for a solution."
    Fingers crossed, your Windows 7 will have been recording some additional information about those.
    First, open your Action Center and expand "Maintenance". Click "View reliability history":
    Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:
    You should see something that looks like the following screenshot:

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,

    — Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
    If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.
    Although over 25 years on Macs, this is my first iPhone... and I'm missing a few (probably) subtle things to do to resurrect this function.
    Help?
    Thanks

    Hi CartoonBob,
    If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

    my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

    My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
    FIXED THE PROBLEM!  I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
    My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.
