Elements 8.0 won't open editor in Win7 64bit. "error is unrecoverable"

I have been running Elements 8.0 w/o problems on my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. All of a sudden, I am unsable to open the Edit function. The Organizer will open, but not the Edit. This is the error message I receive:
I removed the program and reloaded it, but error persists!

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.

  • I installed elements 12, it won't open, a screen pops up with options for e-12 and 4 other language

    I installed elements 12, it won't open, a screen pops up with options for e-12 and 4 other languages.  When I click Elements 12 a screen pops up with a red install icon, I click it and it askes for the serial number. It won't let me type in letters only numbers. I already did the serial number once. How do I get this to work? I don't want to be a programer!

    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

    When I try to open editor I get an error message that I am not connected to the internet (which I am) or my computer clock is set incorrectly (which it is not).

    This is normally to do with activation. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Serial number issues or activating my product
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Ensure you have your serial number.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • Elements 9 Organizer won't open

    I hope someone can help as it appears that Adobe will not.  I have both Elements 8 and 9.  I bought 9 as a result of a special offer as an 8 user.  I downloaded it online last July.  From the beginning I could not open the 9 Organizer.  Every time I try it pops up a box that says it is "restoring people recognition data..."  It gets to 22% complete and stops working and the only thing I can do is shut it down which always shuts down Organizer.  I have been busy with other matters since and have just taken the easy way out and used 8.  Recently I started editing in 9 but organizer 8 can't recognize my saved edits.  Since I can't open Organizer 9 I can't do the things I want.  I can find nothing on this subject anywhere on Adobe web-site and a chat with them reveals that this is the only way I can get help.  Does anyone know how I should proceed?

    Thanks Ken, I was able to get Organizer 9 open immediately.  I did not, however, clearly understand the rest.  First since my Organizer 9 was never open before I had no previous catalog or at least I don't think so unless Organizer made one by itself that I never saw.  I figured though it might be best to go back to the original anyway.  I searched Organizer for an Edit tab but everything I found took me to Editor 9.  I opened Editor 9 Preferences but did not find a Media Analysis tab and thus was unable to turn it off.  What do you think?  Am I missing something important?

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Files Won't Open

    Just got my 1st IMAC on Friday and am trying to figure it out.  I have downloaded a trial copy of Photoshop Elements 8 and am not having any luck opening the files I download.
    The .zip file downloads into the downloads directory,  I double click on it (had to google how to unzip a .zip file on a mac) and move it to my folder called scrapbooking.  However, when I start elements and go to files > open file and go to the scrapbooking folder I can scroll up and down through the .jpeg and .png files and I can select a file to open, but the open button is greyed out and it won't open.
    Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!

    Wait, wait. You're not installing Elements at all, by the sound of it. PSE does not install by drag and drop. Get that installer out of the scrapbooking folder (for your general info, programs need to go into the applications folder, not wherever you like. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but any program that has any kind of update function will not ever find itself if you put in some random place.)
    Starting from the zip file: double click (click once if you're accessing via the downloads stack in the dock) to unizp it. Find the unzipped file and double click that to mount the disk image. Double click the disk image. Double click Setup in the files you see there to run the installer. Do NOT change the installation location from what PSE suggests.
    However, your post is very unclear--I can't tell for sure if you already did install it in the wrong place, in which case you will need to uninstall it before doing all this. Uninstall by means of the uninstaller, which for PSE 8 is in the program's folder.
