Elements 8 does not start up

The application doesn't want to open! I'm able to get the welcome screen, but when I click either "new project" or "open project," I get nothing. I'm able to open "organize," however. There's one clue as to what the trouble is.... I downloaded the most recent update online and clicked on the welcome screen. It displayed a message saying something like "desktop is turned off....Go to edit -> preferences -> general..." Though I did that under "organize" and couldn't find any relevant setting to fix the situation. Help. Thanks!

It displayed a message saying something like "desktop is turned off....Go to edit -> preferences -> general..."
I would re-launch the program, and get the exact text of the error message. If it goes by too quickly, maybe set up your video camera to record exactly what it says, and exactly what each dialog screen says.
I am totally unaware of "desktop turned off," but that does not mean that it's not one of the errors. Having the full details might be very useful in tracking down the issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

Did you download the Basic/Free version?
I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?

After Successfull Installation of Photoshop Element 3.0 On Mac OS 10.6.8, Photoshop Elements does not start saying that personalization information is invalid or missing

I have installed Photoshop Elements 3.0 from original disk on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8. The installation was successful. However, when I try to run Photoshop Elements, it does not start, with the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". I uninstalled Adobe Elements and deleted all Adobe files from both the System Library Preferences and from the User Library Preference. Then tried the installation again. The installation was successful, but the application fails to start with the same missing/invalid-personalization-information message.
Please advise

I am sorry Invalid Personalization but Photoshop Elements 3.0 requires a PowerPC processor or Rosetta installed in order to function. You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements.
You may want to try following the steps listed at Mac OS X 10.6: If you need to install Rosetta to attempt to install Rosetta. That may still not resolve your licensing issue however as the application was also designed for Mac OS 10.2.8 and 10.3.

Photoshop Elements does not start for the second time

Hello,
our customer has problem with PS Elements 12. He can start it for the first time and everything works fine. But when he closes the program and tries to start it again, it will not start. It doesnt even say anything. No error mesages or anything. He tried to instal a trial version of PS E 13 and it does the same thing.
He's running Win 7 SP1 64 bit
Any sugestions? Thank you.

Hi,
It has been known that the Welcome screen sometimes fails to close properly and prevents a second load.
Most people have overcome the problem by creating a shortcut direct to the two main applications.
Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"

Photoshop Elements does not start

Hello,
I bought and installed Photoshop Elements a view month ago and it worked fine. Yesterday I wanted to edit a photo, but it was not possible to do any changes to the photo, because the program crashed every time I tried. So I reinstalled the program and now it doesn't even start anymore. If I start it over the select screen (Organizer/Editor) it says "Photoshop Elements funtkioniert nicht mehr, es wird nach einer Lösung gesucht" and if I start the editor directly I get an error message: PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe - Einsprungpunkt nicht gefunden. Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" wurde in der DLL "MSVCR110.dll" nicht gefunden. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?

Premiere Elements 12 does not start after error message: display driver is incompatible

After successful installation and starting Premiere Elements the following error message appears: "Uncompatible display driver identified. Update the display driver for a better and faster playback performance!" Hopefully my translation from German is helpful enough. I confirmed with OK but unfortunately Premiere Elements does not start. I checked the display driver: it is the most actual one: AMD Radeon HD 7610M. Furthermore the hardware should be OK as well: ASUStek with an Intel Core i5-2450M CPU @2.5 GHz; 6 GB RAM; 64 Bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1. What can I do?

Moonkeys25
Recap...please confirm that as of this date, the problem exists with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Moving forward...
If you issue was specific to the display card error that you have been getting then probable conclusions
a. the ADM Radeon H7610M driver version is not up to date
or
b. the ADM Radeon H7610 M video card/graphics card installed as is is not compatible with Premiere Elements 12 on your Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
The updated driver version and the BadDrivers.txt file deletion should have corrected the problem unless there is a gross mismatch between Premiere Elements 12 and ADM Radeon H7610M.
Did you use the link that John posted to get the auto detection of the latest driver version for the ADM card?
If we have gone as far as we can with the card and its driver version angle on this, then we can try the generalized troubleshooting drills with no guarantees, just hopes
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. You just need to make sure to have the computer's Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" has no effect on the issue...uninstall, ccleaner run through time, reinstall with antivirus and firewalls turned off.
a. Control Panel/Program, select Adobe Premiere Elements 12, right click the entry and click on the Uninstall pop up. Then follow the instructions for the uninstall.
b. Download and install the free ccleaner for a computer run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and installs.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
When you are ready for this step, I will give you a step by step through the ccleaner (regular cleaning part and registry cleaning part).
c. Reinstall from your installation files or installation disc, with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Please review above and then let me know if I have interpreted correctly where we are in the troubleshooting. Do not start the above plan until we are in agreement on the details and hoped for results.
Thanks.

Photoshop Elements 7 does not start (after 3 years i used it)

Yesterday, when i opened my Photoshop Elements 7 (I use it on my PC from 3 years), after the splash screen, an alert windows says to me that there is an error and suggested to restart PC or reinstall product. The program automatically closed itself.
I'm not able to write the exact sentence of the alert, because now PE7 does not start at all. Not even the alert with the error message.
I always used this product in this 3 years (from this PC), without problems.
PE7 was preinstalled and pre-registered by the constructor of PC (Sony-Vaio). So, now i have not even the registration key to reinstall PE7.
Furthermore, I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (also, preinstalled and pre-registered, but never used), and after splash screen the program automatically close itself.
What can I do??!?
Thanks you all.

No result by disconnecting from the network. Even if I restart PC.
But.... I SOLVED the problem!!!!!
The problem was "FLEXnet Licensing Service"
Thanks to last tip, that leads to another failure... I remembered that 2 days ago I tried to optimize my PC by stopping some service with MSConfig. One of the disabled services was "FLEXnet Licensing Service".
Searching in google, now i know that "Flexnet Licensing service is used by most Adobe products to prevent piracy".
So, some Adobe products do not start, if Flexnet Licensing service is not running.
Thank you very much for tips, and help in general... very helpful (to investigate the nature of the problem).

What can I do when in Photoshop Elements (version 11) the organizer does not start up??

!@@

Yes, thanks a lot. I understand now.
I now am able to open the old catalog again!! I tried now several times with the new shortcut.
Thank you very much indeed for ALL YOUR EFFORT and patients with me.
You suggest now I should click on the repair button. When I do so, the catalog will be overwritten, or I can choose not to overwrite and than the catalog will be twice as big. So I decided not to click on the repair button. When I see afterwards that some functions do not work anymore, I allways can use the repair button. As far as I can see now nothing is lost.. )
As far as I understood it is only possible to repair with a backup. Happily I made that allways, but I am afraid to use it, for the reason above.
When I have more time to spare, I will look for all the foto's from the apps of my cellphone and delete them.
Now I can finish my fotowork, what I had started before, and make Photoshop Elements again the main fotoprogram on my desktop.
Thank you again! Trees

PE 9 does not start on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

No matter how I try to start PE 9, it does not start.
From Welcome Screen -> New Project: nothing happens. Form Elements Organizer -> File - New - Premiere Elements Video project it takes some time loading all modules, libraries and sorts of things until an error message appears saying that PE 9 does not function anymore.
That's all, no error log or something like this. Please let me know what info is needed.

Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various
parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle...
this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video
editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708?tstart=0 for more) with Windows
(or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on
drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in
the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the
type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

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.

Elements does not recognise prel file

I saved a project to DVD (photos with background music) Elements does not recognise "prel" file when trying to reload project. How do i open file in Premiere Elements 10

Chris (Herbie53)
There was no Premiere Elements 5 and 6. The version numbers went 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (latest) So you probably use Premiere Elements 4 or maybe 7 on probably Windows 32 bit XP or Vista.
Case 1. (Here we assume that you have the project.prel file (project) saved to a DVD disc as data disc.)
Even if you had saved that older Premiere Elements project file (project.prel) along with copies of the media that went into it, it is still questionable whether that old project.prel could be opened in Premiere Elements 12. But, assuming that the media was still connected to it (which it probably is not), you could try by right clicking the project.prel file and selecting Open With Premiere Elements 12. Have you gone that route, and the project would not open or you were greeted by "Where is the file...?" messages.
Case 2. (Here we assume that, when you were using the the older program, you took the project Timeline to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc...this is not the project.prel file, but an export of it.)
In this situation, if you put your DVD disc in the burner tray and explored it, you would see two folders, one named OpenDVD and another named VIDEO_TS. This is your best case scenario. If this is the case.....
a. Put your DVD disc in the burner tray.
b. Open Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In Change Settings, set the project preset for either NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen. For now, we will assume NTSC DV Standard. Then, before you exit that area, in the last dialog that you see (new project dialog), make sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
c. Next, back in the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, use Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer where you will select video files from the VIDEO_TS Folder to bring into the Premiere Elements 12 project. You will have to redo the menu in 12. The video files that you want from the VIDEO_TS Folder typically start with VTS_01_1.VOB and continue in series which can be detailed later.
Goal right now is to sort through the details so that we are in sync on what you have in order to enable us to be confident about the troubleshooting strategy.
We will be watching for your comments and results.
Thanks.

Add On.....The classical recommendation has always been to complete a project in the program in which it was created. But let us see what can be done here.

Absence request workflow does not start

Hello, I have created a workflow for absence request and I configured it in transaction PTARQ for my absence type.
I tried several times making an absence request from portal but the workflow does not start. I have also seen in transaction PTARQ that the request was really made and has status SENT but has no workflow associated.
Any help?
Thanks

Hi Mário,
Check using transaction SWIA to see if the workflow is actually started by the leave creation (if not could be a problem with the event trigger)? If it is started, you should see in SWIA where the workflow stops/breaks down, normally this is due to missing container elements or bindings.
Good luck!
