Elements 5.0 opens everything
I recently installed Elements 5.0 (bought it last year - slow getting around to install). Since then every time I try to open a document from an email message or elsewhere that would normally open in Adobe Reader it opens in Elements. How do I get back to where it used to be?
Which file you are opening?
Right click that file and say Open with .. Then select Photoshop Elements & Check the ckecbox for setting PSE as default application for that file...

Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open
Hi,
I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine. Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer. I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop. After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program. (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there. No error messages. If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
I'm running Windows 7. I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in. If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there. I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop. I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers. Can anyone help? I appreciate any assistance you can give me! I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
Thank you,
HollyQuit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Adobe Premiere Elements does not open after installation
Hello,
I have written before last week. I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
I had a trial version of Photoshop Elements 11 and with the code I could access the full version.
However Premiere Elements did not open after installation. I did not had a trial version so I first downloaded the full program. I went through the whole installation process and everything seemed ok, no error messages. But when I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements after restarting the computer it did not open at all. Nothing happened.
I have de-installed and re-installed the program for a couple of times over and over again but with not result. Also tried to download the trial version first and also this didn't work. I checked my Quicktime and updated to the latest version.
I use a Windows laptop: Asus Intel Core i5-2430M, 2,4 GHz
I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!
IngeYes I saw it but PSE (refers to Photo Shop Elements??) and I have trouble with Premiere Elements..(so the video program)
The Photoshop Elements worked.
I am not sure what to do here also the link at your reply "working with your operation system tools" didn't work..(got the "broken link error")
thanks

Elements fails to open installs correctly
Intalled elements 11 on Dell laptop with Windows 8 64bit, intel 3000 graphics with latest drivers. No errors but when I go to open elements from photoshop or new project, program begins to load but disappears. If I go to uninstall, I am told program is open but it s not visible in running applications or on screen or task bar. Reinstalled and installed several time with same result.

How are you doing? Any break throughs yet?
I have been studying your thread and have pin pointed some more questions to ask. I did not want to take anything for granted.
1. Back in your post #4 in this thread you wrote
"I ran as administrator which got me to the Welcome to Adobe and I can pick photoshop or elements. photoshop works but when I pick elements it starts to load, blue progress bar and circle show. After a minute everything disappears. I believe all drivers are up to date".
Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are standalong programs. If you use the Premiere Elements 11 desktop icon that typically comes with the program (initiating Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe), that should be opening Premiere Elements to its Welcome Screen where your choices are Organizer or Video Editor/New Project or Existing Project. There is no choice for Photoshop Elements. Did you mean Organizer when you wrote Photoshop?
2. When you install Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit, do you accept the Default location in
Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe and then have the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Folder in the Adobe Folder there.
How much free hard drive space do you have where Adobe Premiere Elements 11 is on the hard drive? How much install and available RAM does your computer have? Who did the upgrade from Vista 64 bit to Windows 8 64 bit? A shop or you?
Did you get a chance to do the ccleaner regular and registry maintenance?
One of favorite statements is "Problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes." Keeping that in mind, have you seen this Premiere Elements 11 Windows 8 64 bit Adobe thread on the issue of Premiere Elements 11 not opening? The end of the thread gets interesting when it talks about some "fixes".
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4773135
Among many others things, one of the posts in this thread goes to running Premiere Elements 11 from a new User Account with Administrative Privileges. Have you tried that yet?
We will continue to watch for your progress.
Thanks.

I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
Any ideas?
ThanksOkay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.

Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back? -
since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I minimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?
How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?
Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically. However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
Help >> Updates
If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market. We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago. However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
<Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
Hope this helps. -
Every time I try to open Photoshop Elements 12, it opens the Adobe login, after I login the program does not open:( Help please?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
I'm having a strange problem with the PS Elements 9 software on my wife's mini mac computer. The program launches fine, and when I try to open a picture (any picture - I've tried lots) I get the various dialog boxes ("reading Photshop format", color mode conversion progress bar, etc.), but then no window showing the photograph. No error message. Also, none of the windows (info, history, layers, etc.) that I've selected show up. If I go to the file menu to "open recent", it lists the photos I've told it to open but have never seen.
I've tried uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it, but continue to have the same problem. It worked fine when I last used it several months ago. I have various other Photoshop software on my other computers (CS 5, CS 4) and have never had this problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

Forest Knolls, CAThe editor prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift 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 go to applications and hold down the three keys whilst double clicking on the Photoshop Elements Editor application.
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way - then wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

my premier elements 12 wont open at all and the photoshop 12 opens but the screen freezes straight away, was halfway through a video project but have been having difficulties from the beginning- the screen freezing when adding text and the playback and audio stuttering. Help!
Lindaos
Just some supplemental comments....all information is important in troubleshooting.
I do not know if I am ready to suggest deleting the BadDrivers.txt file at this point. If and when we get to that point, the BadDrivers.txt
file for Premiere Elements 12 Windows 7 or 8 64 bit can be found in the path:
Local Disc C
Program Data
Premiere Elements
Adobe
Premiere Elements
and in the Premiere Elements Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
Note: The version 12 BadDrivers.txt file exists in the Premiere Elements 12 Folder along with Folders for other versions as well as 12.
For prior versions of Premiere Elements, this BadDrivers.txt file would be in the folder of its version.
Also, in order to see the above path, you need to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active.
We look forward to more details of your issue so that we can rule in or out factors involved in your problems. Although video card driver considerations are important to the details package, there are a lot of other possibities in that package.
Thanks.

PS10 Elements does not open in Windows 8, or opens only once. Can it be fixed?
PS Elements 10 preinstalled on my new computer with Windows 8. It worked fine for a week, now opens once, then won't open again, or doesn't open at all. Adobe gives no support to fix this (they told me to research the answer on their site), yet their info says PS 10 and Windows 8 are compatible. Automatic troubleshooter gives non-compatibility message. Can this be fixed? Have spent many hours trying to figure this out. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works so far.
Thank you for your help. I tried ctrl-alt-shift, and it worked a few times, but not every time. After trying your suggested fix, here's what I've since found that works - so far - today.Open Task ManagerClose PS Elements 10Close Task ManagerLaunch PS Elements 10 Please keep in mind that I was closing the program the usual way (from the program) all along. I used an older version of PS Elements for years on my old computer (Windows XP), and never had a problem launching or closing the software. This problem came about on a new computer with PS Elements 10 and Windows 8. No other versions of PS Elements were installed on the new computer, nor were any settings brought over from the old computer. Again, thanks for your input. Will keep your suggestion in mind for any future troubles with Adobe products.

Good day!

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank youHi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than Editor?
How can I get Elements 11 to open up in Organizer rather than in Editor?
Well, you can go to Window>Welcome and make your change there, but the welcome screen leaves a process always running, so you would do better to go into the Program Files or Program Files (x86) in windows or the applications folder on a mac and find the actual .exe/application for the organizer and make a desktop shortcut/dock icon and use that in the future to launch the organizer, avoiding the welcome screen entirely.

How do I get elemente 9 to open RAW images from Canon G 16?
Hi,
You will need either use the Canon software to convert the CR2 files to TIF files or use the free Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG files. Then import the TIF or DNG files into PSE 9.
You could update to PSE 12 to avoid the conversions.
