Elements 6.0 Organizer crashes

Recently, I've developed a problem with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0.
When I click on the Organize tab, the program crashes.
I have repeatedly followed the advice given in earlier FAQs to delete the Organizer folder in the User Data sub directory.
However, the problem remains unsolved.
I'm running Windows 7 and have reinstalled Windows to see if there is a problem with any windows files.
Help !!

Adobe doesnt officially support Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows 7.
However, you can try the following: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402603.html

Premiere Elements and Photoshop Organizer Crashes

Soon after starting the Organizer in either Premier Elements or Photoshop Essentials 8, it crashes, with a crash report to send to Adobe. I am using Wwindows 7. Microsoft says the program is incompatible. It worked fine until Adobe did an update to it. This happened some time ago, but I have just been putting up with not using the Organizer. I would like to have it fixed. Any suggestions?

Elements 8 Organizer crashes when opening from Editor

Hi,
on my new OS Win7, 64-bit Elements Orgenizer (EO) shuts down with an error message after the following actions:
Open EO
Select a foto and open it in Elemtns Foto Editor for editing
Return to the Organizer before or after any modifications to the foto via the Organizer-Icon in the right corner of the menu bar of the Editor
After a few milliseconds the Organizer crashes and a big white box appears telling that Organizer was shut down because of an error and asking wether an error report should be sent to Adobe.
This situation newer showed up on my old Vista (32-bit) system, where I had the same version of Elemnts 8 installed. I already sent several error reports to Adobe - no response yet. Running the program in XP (Service Pack 2) or Vista (Service Pack 2) compatability mode didn't fix the problem. I think Elements 8 has a problem when running on a 64-bit system.
Are there any suggestions or hints on how to avoid this crash or how to proceed?
Thank's in advance
Helmut

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash:

Elements 10 organizer crashing

I have recently upgraded to Elements 10 and the organizer is exhibiting some strange behaviors.
1. It seems to crash A LOT. (You know "Photoshop Element Organizer has stopped working - checking for a solution to the problem")   It has crashed several times when I tried to create new catagories but it also just seems to crash randomly.
2. Frequently the pictures in the organizer appear fuzzy if I push up the viewing size. This never happened with the previous verisions I used -- Pictures were always crystal clear. I have gone to the source files and they are fine.
I am running PSE 10 on a brand new HP quad core computer running windows 7. My photos are stored on an external drive because I have approximately 50,000 photos.
If anyone has had similar experiences or has a suggestion I would be very grateful

Howard What you state supports my contention. OE and PRE are not compliant with Aero, and show these problems. PSE is compliant (partially) and it seems to work okay. Take care and stay tuned. John H.

Ok, this time I really mean it -- I give up on Organizer. It simply isn't ready for prime time. I'm no technologist so I can't relate to APIs, GUIs, CODECs, etc but I can relate to "works" or "don't work" and this program does not work. Occasionally working for short periods of time does not qualify as "works". As I mentioned above, it looked like EO was ignoring my folder selection and importing from my mirrored image. Well, it turns out that it was importing from the correct folder -- at least as long as it would run it was -- but reported location incorrectly in the properties box. I disabled my backup (X:) drive and properties reported that the file was on the "C:" drive which is correct. While leaving the properties box up I simply enabled the mirrored drive and, wa la,the properties box changed and started reporting that the file was on the "X:" drive. Because of all the Exception code 5 entries that were reporting problems with codecs and dlls I had already started uninstalling things and reducing the types of media files that I was trying to organize. Then it occurred to me that was nuts. I already have a couple of organizers in Windows Live Photo Gallery and Google Picasso 3 that actually do work. The hope of visual search simply isn't enough to overcome "don't work". I'll keep using PSE10 - I like it -- but I'll skip this poor excuse for an organizer. Maybe down the road when the Adobe folks figure out how to make an application like this work I'll give it another shot. Adios my friend, good luck, and thanks for the help I was offered and given.

Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer crashes when importing m2ts files

When I import my collection of images and videos using "Import / From file and folders...", Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer crashes when importing one of my .m2ts files. When I debug it I get:
Unhandled exception at 0x1543025B (mc_demux_mp2_ds.ax) in PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe: 0xC0000094: Integer division by zero.
Is there a way for me to import m2ts files successfully? If not, then is there a way to skip importing these files.

I do not have any version of Premiere Elements installed.
I never removed any files. This is a clean installation from a couple months ago when I got my new hard drive.

Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer crashing

Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer crashes randomly, and with increasing frequency to the point I can barely use it. I've read through the forum items for the Editor crashing, but the steps enumerated don't seem to apply to Organizer. Help!

Organizer crashing in Photoshop Elements 10

Why are so many people having the Organizer crash in Photoshop Elements 10 and does anyone actually have a solution to the problem?

Just like every other application in the world, there are about a hundred different and unique situations where the Organizer crashes. The broad categories for why any application (including the Organizer) crashes are:
1. Interfering background/foreground applications
--Test: try runnning the software with all other background/foreground applications closed.
--Solution: Find the interfering application. If you don't need/use it, remove it from the computer. Otherwise, upgrade it to the latest version to help eliminate conflicts. Or don't run it while running the application in question.
--Document: Disable startup items, services | Windows (Mac users should run in Safe Boot to accomplish the same)
2. User account settings/permissions
--Test: create a new user account, log into it, run the application.
--Solution: There are a number of settings that are unique to your each user account. Some are tied to individual applications, some are system wide. However, we cannot dictate the full spectrum of personalization that happens per account.
--Document: Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Windows 7, Vista
Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Mac OS
3. User files
--Test: new blank files. In the case of Elements Organizer, this would be a new, blank catalog (File > Catalog > New)
--Solution: Try repairing your catalog (File > Catalog > Repair). The issue could also be tied to a file or files you've recently imported (i.e. around the time the crashing behavior began).
--Document: Troubleshoot catalog issues | Organizer | Elements 6 and later
4. Hardware conflicts
--Test: hardware is extremely difficult to test, and is also the least likely source of most issues.
--Solution: Make sure the drivers for your hardware are current, as downloaded and installed from the manufacturer's web site.
5. Other
--There are still other possible causes. Computers are very complex machines, so much so that each one as is as unique as your own fingerprint. Unless there is a bug in the application (i.e. the program crashes when you take steps x, y, z but otherwise operates correctly), there is going to be a unique solution to your particular issue.

Photoshop Elements 13 Organizer crashes when launched

I installed Photoshop Elements 13 a few days ago on my brand-new HP Envy laptop (Windows 8.1). I imported photos from two external hard drives, and experimented with tagging a few photo sets. I unplugged one of the hard drives, did some more tagging, and while I was tagging the Organizer crashed. When I tried to relaunch it, it crashed immediately after loading the catalog. After a restart, I relaunched the Organizer, and it stalled for several minutes while loading the catalog, then crashed as soon as the catalog was loaded. I've attempted to restart and relaunch several times and it always crashes immediately upon loading the catalog.

I do not have any version of Premiere Elements installed.
I never removed any files. This is a clean installation from a couple months ago when I got my new hard drive.

Photoshop Elements 7 Organizer crashing

Recently upgraded from Windows Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. Organizer was working fine but yesterday started to crash soon after opening.
I followed the John Rellis instructions but this did not help.
Before the crash I get a strange message that "The color scheme has been changed
I am running the Organizer in Windows XP SP 3 compatibility mode
Today I did not get the color scheme message but did get the attached error before the Organizer crashed - Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error R6016 - not enough space for thread data.
Message was edited by: Stefanjan

I stopped using Elements 7 Organizer and now use Picasa instead because of this problem.
Interestingly when Picasa is open it throws exactly the same error message which I have not been able to resolve.
Picasa is more stable than Organizer though as it doesn't crash.
I wish I could solve this problem......

Photohop Elements 10 Organizer Crash on .tif files

I have 30-40MB .tif files created by a Nikon LS-5000 scanner. When I add all but one or two particular pictures to the catalog the Organizer crashes. Elements 7 also crashes. The editor works fine with them as does Lightroom 4 and Windows Photo Viewer. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell XPS 8100 (8GB RAM, 64-bit).

No error message other than Windows saying Photoshop Elements 10 (or 7) has stopped responding Windows says "Trying to find solution" and then "Program Needs to Close"
These are all photos scanned 1-2 years ago (I have about 10,000) that I try to import
The Editor works fine with every one I tested (about 10 that all cause the Organizer to crash)
No differnces that I can tell and the same file can load OK and those that cause a crash.They were all created the same way. 33MB file and 44MB file crash. 37MB file loads OK.

Premier Elements 12 organizer crashes with Lesson 01 video

I recently upgraded to Premier ELements 12 & Photoshop Elements 12. I purchased Classroom in a book for Premier Elements 12. I followed the instructions in the book to load Lesson 01, and now the organizer crashes every time I start it. I tried to rebbot my PC, then shut in down & restarted. Did not help. I have an I7 chip 2600 running at 3.4 gigs, 10 gigs of ram, 2 gigs of video ram, and 1.5 tb free on a 2 tb hard drive. Help!

Ted
Thanks.
Your Field Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives is in order.
The second screenshot shows your "System Information". It compares to what I have, exceptions include I have Windows 7 Professional SP2 64 bit, I have 8 GB installed RAM.
So, then I ask, "If you explore the Local Disk C" do you see something like what follows?
Do we agree as far as to get to Users in the list? Were do we differ after that so that you do not get to:
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Elements Organizer
12.0
Organizer
As said, what we are after, the psa.prf file, is in that Organizer Folder at the end of the path shown.
Knowing the details of just how far we both follow the same path may help us to decide why the difference and if there is any reason to suspect an incomplete install of some Elements Organizer components.
In the course of your Premiere Elements installation, did you ever encountered any Shared Technologies errors?
More later.
Looking forward to further exchange of information.
Thanks.

Elements 9 organizer crash

my elements 9 organizer crashed with mac os.
what can I do?

You don't need to retrieve them because they're not "in" the organizer. The photos are wherever you put them (or if you imported from iphoto wherever you told PSE to put the copies it made), and your catalog is usually in your username>library>application support>adobe>Elements Organizer>catalogs, unless you deliberately put it someplace else, in which case it's where you put it.

When I start Photoshop Elements 12, the organizer always crashes. I can't open the program

Everytime I try the open the organizer in Photoshop element 12, it crashes and the progrma closes. I tried to re install the program, but it doesn't work. What can I do.

I have had PSE 12 Organizer crash three times in 7 days, and each time I had to re Tag all my files that had been completed to that point. The Backup was not a lot of help since I had backed up only the untagged original catalog. I find that SOMETIMES, I can start Photo Editor, then choose the Orgainzer at the bottom. It takes a lot of coaxing to get the organizer started even then. So far, I have spend 12 hours ReTagging and Restoring, and talking to Support that does not really have a clue as to this problem. I have already had 2 support techs work on it, and now am waiting for Second Level support to call back. Another day wasted. I find that even though Organizer crashes and closes, that the Analyzer module continues to run in the Task listing, as does Organizer module. It just runs and uses up resources. Make sure you check your task lists and force them to cease before you try to restart again.
How is it that Adobe provides NO FREE SUPPORT on a known BUG. Support earlier today told me to get answers to this problem at forums.adobe.com (here now) and I do not see any of the problems have been identified or fixed. While 12.1 worked for one, it does not work for me. Someone find out what is causing this and fix it.
