Elements 12 will not launch (either)

I have been using Elements since version 3. It has been a great program - until version 10 arrived. It works, but not satisfactorily. If I quit the program it will not launch unless I reboot, and the welcome screen does not launch at all.
Version 11 never worked. Task manager shows that it is loading, but nothing else happens. No error messages.The Editor seems to work, though, but the Organizer does not. So for a year I have been very frustrated, not being able to use the program I had paid for. Nevertheless I bought version 12, and hoped that this version would work. Bur so far I have had no success. The Editor launches, but the Welcome screen and the Organizer do not. I am using Win7 64 bit, 8 Gb ram. None of the suggestions in this forum have been to any help. So what do I do? Øivind

I have tried different suggestions - especially to make PSE 11 to work. Deinstalling and reinstalling and running the organizer.exe file as administrator from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" (this works in PSE 10). There is no status.dat and psa.prf to delete, they were probably never created in PSE 11 and PSE 12. I have posted the log file from PSE 11 - it is very short:

Something happens when "Begin AMT Library calls" is running in PSE 11 and 12. I do not know what this is, and no one have commented this in my earlier postings. I have been adviced to run a utility called " Adobe Creative suite cleaner tool", but I am afraid that it will remove my PSE catalog as well, and that would be very inconvenient. I have more than 40 000 photos in my catalog. Øivind

  • Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop  has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

    please help
    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • Photoshop CS5 will not launch

    Photoshop CS5 will not launch either from the desktop or program list. The only way to launch is to log out and restart the computer. At the end of each session I reset the preferences in the Workspace.  I am running Win 7 ultimate with 4GB of ram. System is 64 bit .  Display is ATI Radeon HD  5700 series. Adapter type is AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68B8). The computer has an Intel(R) series/3400 Chipset Family.
    When I installed from the disk I received the message  Exit Code 6, 0 fatal errors, 21 errors, 1 warning. I have reinstalled several times and still get the same message. Tried disabling start up items while installing but same message.

    One thing that sort of jumps out at me, regarding running the program, is that 4GB of RAM. With a 64-bit OS, 4GB is just about the minimum to run the OS, with little to nothing left over for a program, like Photoshop. I would bump that up, and to 12 - 16GB, if possible.
    For the installation, I think that Mylenimum has posted some very useful links.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Now all CS4 applications will not launch

    I have been working with cS4 for sometime now. I worked in dreamweaver last night and tried to open a file but it took forever so I tried to force quit  it. Still it was not responding so I shut my computer down and waited for 30 minutes. I tried to open it again but after i click the icon it jumps on the dock for a few seconds and goes away. Now All my other CS4 applications will not launch either. I tried to delete preferences but nothing so I uninstalled it. I just installed a fresh CS4 copy but it still will not work/launch. Thank you. I am using mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Never had a problem with any CS4 before. All my other applications work well only Adobe CS4 will not
    Please!!!!!! I really need your help guys!
    Thanks

  • Iphoto will not launch anymore

    My Powerbook G4 was not shutting down automatically. After trying to troubleshoot the issue with Apple Support, the tech suggested reinstalling MAC OS X. After reinstalling the OS, the Powerbook started shutting down properly (although it's back to that state again after installing software updates). Im most concerned that iPHOTO will not launch anymore. When I open Finder, there are no pictures in the Photo Library. Only the folders that I saved to the desktop contain photos. I do see my entire library of photos when I go into the Desktop and ScreenSaver options. I've reinstalled the bundled software package from Disc 1 and 2 that came with the Powerbook. Any idea how to resolve this? By the way, iDVD and GarageBand will not launch either now. Please Help?

    Sandie,
    It is likely that a separate user account was created and so your pictures are not in the user account you are using, which is why they do not show up in your account. Go to users and you will probably see several accounts, Your iPhoto pictures are probably in another account.

  • Elements 12 Organizer running on Windows 7 will not launch

    I have Elements 12 for over six months and it has been working fine.
    I have used Photo editor several times today without a problem.
    When I try to launch organizer either from within Editor or from the welcome screen it will not launch.
    It appears to being going through the motions but never opens.
    I am open to all suggestions at this point.
    Thank you.

    Try making a direct shortcut to the Organize executable.
    Right-click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut – navigate to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer
    Choose PhotoshopElementsOrganizer with the gray program icon (not Photoshop Elements 12.0 with a blue program icon).
    Double-click your new desktop icon to launch.

  • I reinstalled photoshop elements 9. Now the organizer will not launch. Why not?

    I reecently reinstalled photoshop elements 9. Now the organizer will not launch.Why not?

    I am assuming you are using welcome screen to launch either Organizer and nothing is happening for you.
    Open task manager and check under process tab is there any process named elements organizer.exe is running, if so end the process and relaunch the PSE again.
    Also, Please let us know are you able to lauch Organizer/Editor from there exe's or you are facing the same issue. The paths are-
    Organizer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe

  • Help Elements 12 will not launch

    Please help, Elements 12 will not launch..no problems with previous versions or Premeir Elements 12 or Lightroom 4.

    Hi Barbara,
    I'm running Win7, i7 precessor, plenty of RAM. I've purchased/upgraded from Elements/Premier 9,10,11 without issue..Since upgrading to Elements 12 the software opens sporatically at best. I've spent 15+hr's and $60.00 with Adobe Support and still not resolved. Cannot open PremierElements or Lightroom 5 either. Here's what happens..I click on the icon and the timer spins for 5 or 6 seconds and stops. This happens most often after my computer re-boots for maintenance. I've changed the permissions and thought it was fixed but after a week the same thing happens..I've unistalled and reinstalled more times then you can imagine.
    I do appreciate any help you can offer..works fine on my laptop runnning Win8
    Thanks,
    a very frustrated Mike

  • Photoshop Elements 4 will not launch

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 4 on my MacBook. Photoshop Elements 4 is a PowerPC app. (not Universal). From what I've read, it should open with Rosetta. But every time I try to open it, I get an error message: "The application Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly." I've uninstalled and installed several times.
    I've tried going to File>Get Info so see if I could make this PowerPC app open under Rosetta, but that choice is not available under "General".
    Is there any way I can use this non-universal program in my intel-based Mac?
    I guess what I'm really asking is whether Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac (PowerPC) is supported by Rosetta (since it's not a universal application). If it's not supported, I suppose that means I can't use it on my intel-based MacBook.
    Thanks for the help.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Barbara---
    I have had PE 4.0 running on my MacBook Pro 17" for about a year. Two days ago I tried launching PE 4.0 like normal and it fails. On the advice of Apple I tried creating a new account. The error message on install says a file is missing. It does not say which file. Installation continues until completed but PE 4.0 will not launch. I also trashed absolutely every Adobe file I could find, including preferences, repaired permissions, etc., reinstalled PE 4.0. Still no joy. I am running 10.4.9 with the last update about two weeks ago. PE 4.0 would lanuch and run fine until two days ago. Any suggestions?
    Thanks...

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

    Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch  (open)
    What going on ?

    You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
    And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
    Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

  • Any fix for why my photoshop elements 12 will not launch?

    Hi - had to get new computer after old one died... reinstalled (twice) Photoshop Elements 12 and now it will not launch.  When I click on icon, the first screen open allowing me to select between the Organizer and Editor.  When I click on Editor, nothing happens... never launches.  Seems this has happened to others, anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!! 

    Did you ever use Help> Sign In to activate it? Both entering a serial number and signing in are required (once signed in you don't ever sign out unless you want to deactivate the software).
    The advice here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452533?tstart=0 - should allow the software to restart so that you can activate it.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

    I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem.  It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista.  We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work.  We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch.  Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks, Dean

    What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

  • Edit function of Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch, suggestions?

    When the "edit" buttion is selected it simply times out/resets itself and will not launch the application however, the organizer still seems to be functioning.

    If PSE8 uses an Unwelcome Screen, bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.
