Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

Photoshop Elements 11 freezing and creating 1000s of tmp files when saving images
Photoshop Elements 11 freezes up and then continues to create 1000s and 1000s AND 1000s of tmp files in the same location as I was trying to save the jpg. Any ideas on what is going on?
GO to Edit->Preferences and you will see Reset Preferences on next launch
Click this button to ensure that all product preferences are reset to default settings when Elements Editor is restarted next. Available at Preferences > General.

Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge
Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner. The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution. I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000. The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
Then close the application and re-start.
Let us know if that makes any difference. -
PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac.
PS elements 12 freezing when doing selective color and having to force quit on Mac. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and that did not work. I've changed preferences and that did not work and i tried hitting shift+command and option at start up of program and that did not fix the problem either.
Hi,
We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
Plug-in installation instructions:
1. Close Photoshop Elements
2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
• For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
• For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
Hope this helps!

Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?
Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

Photoshop elements 12 freezes my computor
why does photoshop elements 12 freeze up when I'm in the editor. I'm using a surface pro tablet and I can't get out of the program. this happens frequently but not always thanks
susan
As John points out, you have posted in the wrong forum if your program is Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor).
You can repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. See John's link to it. Or you could wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there. I suspect that the quicker route is for you to repost the thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum with lots of details.
What you have posted so far is not really enough to get to the core of the issue in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..

Elements 9 freezing up after loading project and wont load up dates
help, elements 9 freezing up after loading project .
Unitedmoviemaker
Have you looked at any possible involvement of the antivirus program in the way of recent updates for it? Recent Windows Updates? Can we assumed that you have not added, subtracted any programs that would coincide with the onset of the issue?
Have you checked to make sure that your video card is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
Recently, with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, answers have come from rolling back the driver.
I guess you tried the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file deletion. But, did you try deleting the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists?
Do you have the Premiere Elements 9 installation disc for installations files in case a deactivation, uninstall, run through of ccleaner, reinstall is indicated?
But, let me backup for a moment. Is this issue confined to one previously created project or to all your Premiere Elements projects either new or old?
Let us start here and then move forward according to your answers.
Thanks.

Add On...Usual...confirm that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed, you are running the program as the 9.0.1 Update, and you are running the program Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges. -
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 freezes on startup
Hi,
I am having issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, When I first load the software, it asks me if I want to use the "Organize" or the "Edit". When I choose "Edit", it loads the program, but I am unable to click on any options or toolbars as it freezes for around 3 minutes (says not responding) until it eventually kicks in and loads, I am then able to use the software perfectly.
On startup, is it trying to run updates or talk to Adobe for any reason, and can I turn this off?
Also, has anyone had the same problem? Help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ian
OK let’s deal with the Editor. The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt 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 hold down the keys whilst double clicking on the desktop icon for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Wait whilst it rebuilds the preferences.

Hi There,
We are trying Premiere Elements 12 (Expert Mode).
It seems very nice but, in various places it just freezes, no specific area in Elements, so could be importing a clip or just adding an effect...
The 1st PC we tried it on is Windows 7 x64 - fully Windows patched, (also with Manufacturers patches, BIOS etc etc) with lots of software installed, ESET AV, lots of RAM and Processor power, checked clean of any Malware
I have also tried the same new download on a new PC (VM) with just Win 7 (x64) Ultimate, fully patched and no other software installed.
Same problem.
I have read in this form questions about Quicktime versions etc. On the main host Quicktime is installed, in the VM not.
My thinking (why I tried a VM) is that the VM is as clean a possible it just has Premiere Elements 12 and Photoshop Elements 12, to try and negate conflicts with other software.
Local user is Administrator, have also tried with Run As Admin..
Anything else we can try peeps ?
Cheers,
LMLord Melch
Thanks for the follow up with all the details...
Continuing in the real computer environment Windows 7 64 bit.....
Preliminary
From what you wrote, you have GoPro Black 1280 x 720 @ 50 progressive frames per second video and you or the project have set
PAL/AVCHD/AVCHD 1080p50 as the project preset. So far so good.
When you import one of these GoPro Black clips into this project, do you see no colored line or an orange line over the Timeline
content? Assuming no colored line for the moment...
a. right click the Timeline file, select Time Stretch, and then, in the Time Stretch dialog, change the Speed % to 99. Click OK. Now render the Timeline content which should be displaying with an orange line over its content. After this Timeline rendering is completed (color of line goes from orange to green), is the editing performance same or improved? (The rationale behind this was to force Timeline rendering rather than to apply any Time Stretch Speed% changes to the file.
If the above does not result in improved performance associated with the GoPro Black clip editing, delete the 720p50 from the project and import
a. 1080p25 from the GoPro Black
and next
b. jpg photos
For each of the above, do you encounter the same Timeline freezing episodes as with the GoPro Black 720p50?
In what you have written, the freezing is independent of file size and file duration. Is that correct? Does that observation have limits?
Depending on your results, would you consider posting a sample of your GoPro Black 720p50 via a Dropbox link in a reply in your thread?
As a cross check, I was be glad for the opportunity to work with it in my computer environment of Windows 7 64 bit/Windows 8.1 64 bit on a variety of Premiere Elements versions including 12/12.1.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome. We will go into computer optimization considerations next.
Thank you.

Rendered video in Premiere Elements 13 freezes...
Hello all, this is my first Premiere Elements software since 1.0 lol. Anyway, before I render a video it plays nice and smooth. After I render it, the video playback freezes while the audio continues to play. How do I fix this? I have an i7-410U 2 Ghz CPU, an Nvidia GeForce 840M 2 GB video card, 8 GB of memory, 900 GB of free space on my HDD, and Windows 8.1. Thanks for your help.
AndyD74
Thanks for the follow up replies.
Your Edit Menu/Project Settings/General readings suggest that you or the project have not set the correct project preset for the project. If the Canon is the major source of your Timeline content, then the project should not be 1080i (the project's default). It should be
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
You are going to have to go to a new project to correct that situation. You cannot change the project preset in 13/13.1 once the project preset has been established.
If the project (automatically) is not giving you the correct project preset, then you need to set it yourself (manually) before you import the source media.
File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings
In Change Settings, set for the project preset mentioned above. OK out of there.
In the New Project dialog that appears, rename the project and make sure there is a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project". OK out of there.
Then in the workspace, import your source media with Add Media/
Another factor is the custom made intro that I created in Aurora3d Title Animation. What are its properties and how do they compare with those of the Canon's 1080p29.97. If you remove the Title Animation from the Timeline, do the problems disappear even with the DSLR project preset pointed to?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Photoshop Elements 6 Freezing, I need help, please.
I got the program along with the Wacom Tablet I got, not too long back.
It worked for a while, but then started freezing at random moments.
But now, I can never open it without it freezing about 30 seconds after launch.
I checked the FAQ's and Trouble-Shooting section, but everything seems in order.
I just updated my Mac (10.5.6) and I have high enough Ram.
It's not the disk and I haven't messed with the folder it came in since I installed it.
(Didn't touch it then either)
Oh, and I have updated the program itself to the latest udate I can get.
The only thing I haven't tryed is Uninstall and reinstall it.
This program was really helpful when I could use it, and I would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks for the help.>(10.5.6)
Why? Why not 10.5.8?
In any case, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
Opera preferences (if you have it)
Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes to go Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Plug-ins>import/export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver (note that if you have an epson scanner it may not work properly after doing this). -
Photoshop elements 13 FREEZING every time with Mac OS X Yosemite
Just purchased Photoshop elements 13, upgrading from version 10. 10 was running slow in editor so I thought the latest version would be faster but not only is it slower & stickier but I can not open the organizer. It freezes every time & I can not see my catalog pics. A few pics load & the rest are question marks or sand timer.....Then it freezes completely & I can not do anything until I force quit. I've tried most of the trouble shooting listed but NOTHING is working!! Please HELP!!!! So frustrating!!!!

Problems with Photoshop Elements 11 freezing up
I recently upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 11. Now when I work in the Organizer or Editor the program frequently freezes up and then displays the message "program not responding". If I wait long enough - several minutes - it begins to run again. I never had this problem with Elements 9
My primary disk when i open elements 11 for all the time working, mouse cursor lagging and swaping. All my operation on Photoshop Elements is not instantly.
I install yesterday fresh Windows 7 with all updates of corse. Problem persist.

Premiere Elements 3 Freezes on startup in Windows 7
I just loaded Premiere Elements 3 on a laptop with Windows 7 and it freezes on startup. I can't find any reference to drivers for Windows 7. I've used PE3 satisfactorily with Windows XP and want to continue to use it. Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve upgrading to a later version or switching to another video editing program? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled.
Thanks for all three responses. Long story short: I've made progress to where Premiere Elements 7 now freezes *after* startup in Windows 7.
Neale: It's Windows Home Premium on a Sony VGN-NW270F with an Intel Core2 Duo T6600 2.2 GHz processor, with 4GB of memory. I hope this additional information is helpful in diagnosing my problems with PE3 version 3.02 and Windows 7.
Steve: I found I already had PE3 Version 3.02, so that was not the problem. However, I did uninstall and re-install, with no better results. I then poked around in the Windows 7 Help files and stumbled across the misnamed "Compatibility Manager" (it's really an "Incompatibility Manager"). When I set PE3 to run under XP Service Pack 2, PE3 finally started up. I then found I could load video files and edit them. But, after working on this for a few days, I tried to use the Transitions and Effects Button. That invariably sends PE3 off to La La Land, which only a power off will fix (I haven't had to power off so many times since I used Windows 95 and the early DOS systems, which doesn't seem like progress.) So far, I haven't found a solution to this new freeze problem. Any suggestions as to what might make PE3 work properly?
You say that PE3 is a relatively old version of the program. Well, not that old -- "old" programs dated 2007 should work on operating systems released only two years later. However, I haven't upgraded from PE3 because it worked really well on my XP machine and subsequent releases of PE appear to be buggy. From what I've read in the Forum here, I wouldn't upgrade to PE8 because even that version doesn't seem to work well with Windows 7. I've wasted enough time on this already.
John: Unfortunately, I just have Windows 7 Home Premium, the plain vanilla OS. So far, I am thoroughly unimpressed with Windows 7. New operating systems are supposed to bring advantages, not be incapable of running programs that ran under previous operating systems.
Thanks,

Photoshop Elements 12 freezing continually macbook pro yosemite
I purchased this online back in April of this year and started having problems with it very shortly there after. Now, and tool I click on cause the program to freeze up and I have to force quit elements in order to use the computer, Help please?
Thank you, KarenKaren, I am having the exact same problem. I can freely click on a tool and then click on anything else without any problems....but only if I don't open a photo for editing. The second I do that, then click on a tool (I can still use actions), it freezes up and will do nothing until I click somewhere outside of PSE12.
