Elements 6 does not open

I have been using PS Elements 6 on my Windows 7 PC for sometime.  Two days ago it would not open when I clicked on the shortcut. I had to uninstall and reinstall.  It worked fine until today when the same thing happened.  Can someone explain why this is happening?

When asked, I inserted the instal disc and then it asked to instal disk one.  Well I don't know what disc one is
because all I have is the original installation disc...............and Elements 6.0 does not open.
What to do?
It's a common error...been around since at least E2. The workaround is to copy your setup.exe from the disc into your OS clipboard, then paste the setup.exe onto your desktop. Run the installation from desktop.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    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  9\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.
    Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

  • WebDynpro editor issue: Clicking on UI element does not open up defn in UI tree

    Hello,
    We are facing a strange issue with webdynpro editor on one of our SAP Landscape. In change mode when i double click on an UI element in webdynpro layout editor( SE80) the corresponding UI element definition does not open up in the left hand side ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER tree. This functionality works in our ERP system which is on a lower service pack.
    I recently discussed this problem with an onsite trainer ( from  SAP ) who suggested this feature was taken away in NW Ehp 7.3 onwards to avoid some javascript error in the webdypro layout editor. Can someone confirm this? I have already tried searching servicemarketplace without success. If this feature has been removed i dont want to waste time creating OSS note.

  • 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!
    Inge

    Yes 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

    This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one.  Then save the file.  If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

    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")

  • Premiere elements 12 does not open

    i have photoshop and premiere elements 12.  the photoshop works fine, but the premiere does not open.  when clicked on the hard drive spins for a short time but nothing opens.  using windows 7.

    etvicb
    When you go to the Control Panel/Install Programs, is Premiere Elements 12 shown to be installed on the Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit) computer? After the program installation and restart of the computer, you should have gotten a Sign In dialog. You need to give you Adobe ID and password there for the program activation.
    When you are trying to get the program to respond, are there error messages being deposited in the Event Viewer (Computer/Manage/Event Viewer/Windows Logs/Applications)? Have you checked for any error messages there?
    If you look at the Notepad document for the Hosts File, does it look like this default representation
    Path to the hosts file in Windows 7 64 bit is
    Local Disk C
    Windows
    System32
    drivers
    etc
    and in the etc Folder is the hosts file.
    Right click on the hosts file followed by Open and select Notepad. This should
    give you what you see in the screenshot above. If you see anything below the line
    #     ::1      localhosts
    then we need to check that out.
    The antivirus is the most likely candidate to look at in the troubleshooting scheme, but also
    check out any firewall involvement as well.
    Are you all set on permissions - Run As Administrator and User Account with Administrative Privileges? Is your Internet connection OK? Latest version of QuickTime installed?
    Although Premiere Elements is not mentioned specifically in the following Adobe document, I have seen Adobe Staff make reference to it for Premiere Elements troubleshooting purposes, you may want to check it out
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
    Please review the above and then we can decide what next and consider the benefits of getting Adobe involved in the issue, especially if you are within 30 days of purchase.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 3 does not open projects (existing or new)

    Last few days I tried a number of solutions suggested on your website including reinstalling Adobe but I still can not access my pro
    jects. Adobe does not even open for New Projects. It tells me that a serious error has occured and that it will shut down and try to
    save my project. It no longer asks me to save the project under a new name, it just shuts itself down. I have several versions of t
    he same project saved at various stages. The project has video clips, a couple of photos, music, narration, titles and transitions a
    nd goes for 1h10m. Another project of just photos with titles, music and transitions is only a few minutes in length but still does
    not open.

    Hi Steve
    Good to hear from you. I have been using Premiere Elements for about 10 years and have been using version 3.0 for the past two years. This problem is new and very persistent. I have a project that is 98% complete (1h10m long movie) and Elements was working fine. Then one day when I opened Elements I got an error message saying "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." Since then every time I open Elements I get that message but it no longer offers to save it under a new name, just shuts down the program once I click OK. The screen where it lets me choose which project to open appears without any problems, but then when I open the project the error message appears about 10 seconds after the project has finished opening. I have tried opening different projects, and even tried starting a brand new project, but the message appears every time. I tried deleting the prefs file in Application Data as suggested in some forums but that didn't help. I have re-installed Elements several time but the problem still occurs.
    My operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I have 4GB of RAM and two 300GB hard drives, both less than one quarter full. Quicktime and the Realtek drivers are up to date. I recently installed XP Service Pack 3 and some updates for Microsoft Office 2003, but Elements worked fine for several days after this before the problem began occurring. I have also recently had a problem with my computer refusing to shut down however it's shutting down normally now, not sure if that's anything to do with the Elements problem. Virus and spyware scans using Norton and Ad-Aware are all clear.
    Hope you are able to help. Thanks, Iwona.

  • Elements Organizer 13.  The program primary window does not open.

    Good afternoon. I installed Elements Organizer. The first some times it has opened correctly and I managed to transfer all photos. But now the program primary window does not open. In dock the active icon appears, in the left top corner there is a name of the program and having clicked with its right mouse button it is possible to open options. What to do in such situation? Photoshop Elements 13 works correctly, but it is very inconvenient to search for photos.

    I managed to locate the problem
    I have an Elgato EyeTV 610. It is an old DVB-C TV Tuner hooked up on Firewire.
    When I remove the EyeTV 610 from the Firewireport it works fine.
    As mentioned in my first posting I was able to have the import window pop up by attaching my camera.
    The workaround also works when pluggin in my iPhone (Import window pops up automatically)

  • Premiere Element 13 The progress bar on the lower right for Indexing has frozen and when asking to open a video file in the organizer, Premiere does not open.

    The above says it all.

    I can't really answer you first question. What has happened is: when I moved an mpg file from my assets to the movie (I have added already a mpg file in the first part of the movie) a message box appears telling me the file is being "indexed" and then this Indexing progress appears in lower right of screen and it processes up to 99% and then freezes. The file appears in the time line, but the frame appears that says "media pending" and then nothing happens. I can go into the Widows media player and the mpg file plays okay, with audio. That is best I can tell you.
    Though I did not say this earlier, when I try to open this mpg file from the Organizer, Premiere does not open.
    My operating system is Windows 7 on a Dell computer with lots of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive.
    Properties of movie file
    These properties are the same as a file I already inserted in the timeline.
    I look forward to your help and thanks..
