Elements 5 Editor Stopped Working

I have been running Photoshop Elements in the 32-bit Windows 7 Release Candidate and 64-bit Windows 7 for 11 months with no problems at all. I haven't used it in a few weeks, but when I opened it to edit a photo today, the Editor give me the error message " Attemt to access an invalid address" followed by "The action cannon be completed because the application is not responding." I can access the Photo Organizer, but again cannot access the editor from there either.
I tried a repair install which did not resolve the issue, followed by an uninstallation and registry cleaner and reinstallation. Same result. I went to the Photoshop folder and tried each of the applications from there with the same results. Organizer works, editors did not work.
I also tried turning off my antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials). No joy.
Any thoughts out there???
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the application still works on the 32-bit Win 7 Release Candidate, just stopped working on my 64-bit Win 7 after working just fine since last October.

Try this: Right click the desktop icon and click properties, then click the compatibility tab, check the box "Run this program as an administrator" in the Privilege sub-category. Click Apply. You should now be able to run the PSE editor. Note: When you do double click the icon, the screen will darken and a message box appears asking for confirmation to run the program
Hope that helps

Elements 12 Editor stopped working message

I keep getting a "Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working" message when I try to go to edit

Why is Adobe continuing to ignore the many forum threads inquiring about this same problem? IMO, this issue continuing year-after-year represents irresponsible decision-making on the part of their Change Control Board / maintenance management, for such a fundamental operation as photo-stitching.
In particular, when the same two images can be merged successfully using any of a number of separate photo-stitch apps from other vendors, yet crashes Adobe Photoshop, then ipso facto, where do YOU think the blame lies?
In my opinion as a software programmer, an attempt to perform such a basic operation as merging two images, regardless of their size, should NOT cause a frickin' crash. Programmatically, this speaks to (a) poor memory management, and (b) terrible error-detection/handling/reporting.
This problem continues with the latest OS updates, the latest driver updates, the latest Adobe Photoshop updates/versions ... Crashing Adobe Photoshop is an unacceptable outcome for such a fundamental operation, even if one is working with photos that are truly of larger-than-normal size. It's COMPLETELY inexcusable when the images in question are of standard sizes produced by current-day camera technology. The workaround of resizing the original photos is an unacceptable option for someone who is attempting to maximize a print size without resolution loss.

Hi jaaz7565,
Please let me know if you encountered any errors during installation.
Did Photoshop ever work fine before?
Have you tried removing the application and reinstalling it?

Photoshop elements 12 editor stopped working.how can this be fixed.i have windows 8.1 OS.

Could be the installer failed to set the correct permissions on the two folders in your user profile where the prefs are written. If you log in on the PC using a different user account, does ID work?

Editor stops working in Photoshop Elements 7.3

I am having probelms with the Photoshop Elements editor stopping working in Windows 7. It worked for awhile and worked fine in Windows XP. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling to no avail. Any ideas???

First, yes, I used original media to reinstall after I did an Uninstall and both of these were done from an Administrator account. This is my laptop and I am the only person with an account on it… it is both Admin account and user account.

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 ...

Elements 12 Photo Editor stopped working

I recently purchased a brand new HP with Windows 8. I downloaded PS Elements 12 from Amazon last month and a few weeks in, Photoshop Editor stoped working. I ended up uninstalling it then reinstalling and it worked great for a few days before the Editor crashed again. This pops up: "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 beyond frustrated. I am trying to get a photography career going and I don't have time for this. I'm not very computer savvy when it comes to issues like this and honestly have no idea what to do. I obviously can't keep uninstalling it. I also don't know if this is a Windows issue or Adobe. Please help!

I'm replying from my e-mail so I hope this works! Couldn't figure out how to reply on the Adobe discussion board. But I checked the updates and it said they're all up-to-date and to answer your questions, yes it crashes every time I try to open a photo. If I'm in the organizer then right click a photo to open in Editor that notification pops up. So yes, the organizer works just not the Editor.
As far as the admin rights, I right-clicked the icon and ran to do so if that's what you're talking about. Like I mentioned before, I have NO idea what the heck is wrong. If it's Windows or Adobe...all my friends say I should've gone with an iMac. Haha. Sigh

I purchased Premiere Elements 13 a few weeks ago, it downloads without issue, but I can't open it. I get an error message that reads "Elements 13 has stopped working" HELP!!!

I purchased this online, downloaded it without issue, and it won't open. I get an error message that states "Elements 13 has stopped working"
I have removed it and redownloaded it several times, and still no luck... HELP!
When I contacted Adobe support that's all they suggested, to reinstall...

taveliben
What computer operating system?
Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
factors before that.
1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working... how can I make it work?

Hi. I have just bought a new copy of Photoshop Element 9. It installed OK, but when I try to open the Editor, I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem", followed shortly by the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 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". The only option then is Close Program. The Organizer has the same problem.
Does anyone know how to get it to work? It hasn't just stopped working, it has never worked at all. If anyone at Adobe are monitoring this thread, please can you tell me what the problem is and how to sort it out? I tried the Adobe call-back service but all I got was a computer phoning me up, and no person available.
Karen

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.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743

Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on Windows 7 Ultimate N.

A few months ago, Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultinate N computer. The photo editor still works and so does Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? I've done a lot of looking on the Internet with no luck.
Thanks!

Hi Michel
Have tried those few things that seem to be still applicable to version 11 (as you will know it is not being maintained and stops at version 8).
However, I don't understand what is meant by "sometimes deleting it's saved preferences and registry entries fixes the problem. To do that see these Adobe Tech. notes." Unfortunately the link goes to a page which no longer exists. I guess that rather than "deleting" the saved preferences the author means re-setting to default ? "Deleting registry entries" is a task which should, as I understand it, only be done by those with a high degree of expertise. I am not one of them !
Any comment you have will be gratefully received.

Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working

I cannot get my elements to work. The following message pops up when I go to the front "editor" page:
"Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working".
It's urgent that Elements works now - I don't have time to troubleshoot while I am editing 4,000 photos
Thank you,
Catherine

This is the only way I have found to use PSE-12 since the "Stopped Working" problem appeared; Perhaps Adobe can use this work-around to solve the problem:
1. Press Shift and hold (until thumbnails appear).
2. Open Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE)
3. Select "My Catalog" or what you call it. (Note: I have PSE open Organizer directly. I have 2 catalogs, My Catalog and Selling.)
4. If you have 2 catalogs you must open "My Catalog" first.
5. When the thumbnails appear you can release the Shift key. You are in business.
6. To open the other catalog use File/Manage Catalogs, Select the other catalog and click Open. (Note: If you open the secondary/other catalog first PSE will stop working.)
This is a little more work to get started but I have been using it for 2-3 weeks now without the "Stopped Working" occurring. Good Luck.

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.

Why do I get this error message when I open Organizer in Photoshop Elements 11 "Elements Organizer has stopped working"? My only option is to Close Program so I am effectively locked out of my photo catalogue. I have reinstalled the program to no avail.

Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working error message/Audio issues

I'm working on a project for about a week. I almost finished it, "shared" it to my computer, and watched it thru windows media player. I thought of something else that I could add to the audio, so I went back into the project in PE10 and put small (2-3 seconds) audio clips on audio track 3. Once I did that, PE 10 would not allow me to put any audio effects on that track. (I went into some older longer projects that I have and it allowed me to put effects on any audio track).
So, I moved my short audio clips to the Narration and Soundtrack tracks. It finally highlighted the App;y button for the audio effects. Now, the problem is that I can't play or click onthe timeline or move the timeline indicator without PE10 closing out of my video. As soon as I try to do anything, it says "Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working" and it closes the program.
I can open my other projects and everything seems to work fine on those and it doesn't close out, but it won't allow me to do anything in this particular project.
Again, I have been going into and out of the project for a week and all of the sudden it won't let me work on it. It's only about a 3 minute project, so I don't know why it would have trouble.
Oh, and it also un-rendered everything.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
