Elements 8 Editor fails to launch

While using PSE 8 editor, it crashed - there was an error message and it shut down.  When I tried to launch it again, the organizer will launch, but not the editor, even if I try to launch it from the organizer workspace.  I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but still have the same problem.  I have gotten a message a couple of times that there was an error in a file and that it should be deleted, but even after deleting it, and restarting Elements, the editor won't launch.  Any ideas?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Editor fails on Windows 8 Pro

    Every time I start the Elements 10 Editor, it gives a C++ library error message and quits. I'm getting the following entry in the Event log. Can anyone help me get it working. Thanks.

    I have a very similar problem. 
    Elements 10 Editor fails to open.  I do not get any error codes simply the message that reads "Adobel Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".    (Seen that message lots of times in various programs, can't recall Windows ever getting back to me with a solution so I'm not holding my breath that I will ever get notified of a solution, but I digress). 
    I tried reinstalling Elements (and Premier as I have the dual package programs), uninstalled by clicking on Install on the DVD (strange way to get the uninstall to work but thats how it is).  I understand this way is best so I don't lose the ability to reinstall the program due to limited number of installs.  I reinstalled.  Same error.  Repeated the uninstall and then this time also went to Control Panel and uninstalled everything with Adobe in the name.  Reboot, re-install retry, no effect same erro.  Repeat the above two uninstalling processes and then this time to into the Registry and remove all reference to Adobe Elements (and was surprised by how many references to Elements continued to exist even after the un-installing.  Thought this would work.  I was wrong.  After the reinstall I get exactly the same error. I tried to watch when Elements Editor tries to open to see if I could read what it is doing when it fails, it seems to fail just as the window opens after its run through all those things it loads in the blue window.  The blue window disappears, the gray window opens, and then crash. 
    I have tried each of the solutions offered above to the OP.  I don't see any reply indicating it worked for him either.
    Funny thing is that Elements 10 used to work on this Windows 8 system  (FYI it is Windows 8 Pro edition, 64bit).  I've had to reinstall Windows 8 a few times since I 'up'-graded to Windows 8 in the fall, it seems to be a rather fragile OS, previous re-installs did not hurt Elements 10, but this most recent one did. 
    Is there a patch to improve Elements 10's compatibility with Windows 8? 
    Is there a setting in Windows 8 that is more Elements 10 friendly?

    Thanks for the reply. You have a lot of considerations before you.decide to purchase additional software.
    Great that the Photoshop Elements 11 Editor from Mac App Store is working, but I am not sure how that was integrating with Premiere Elements 11 Editor or will interact with Premiere Elements 11 Mac if you can find the latter for purchase online from Amazon or other. (I realize that the Mac App Store products did not come with Elements Organizer 11; whereas the Premiere Elements 11 Mac does.)
    If you want to add Premiere Elements 11 Mac to your computer, it might be a good idea to look at the tryout from the following web site, and then purchase from your selected vendor. The web site offering the 11 tryout does not sell the tryout as far as I have ever heard.
    Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    With this route you need to read and carryout carefully that web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid access denied messages.
    When you purchased 11 Mac, you could even leave that tryout installed and just insert the serial number from your purchased 11 product in them to make
    that your working system.
    Please consider.
    Thank you.

  • My photoshop elements 12 editor will not launch

    when I click on photoshop elements 12 editor it will not launch

    Did you have to reinstall it?  I had Photoshop Elements 12 on my laptop; worked fine and I enjoyed it.  I had to do a system restore on my laptop; not related to Photoshop.  Afterwards, I reinstalled PhotoShop Elements and it won't launch for me.  A message appears that says my trial has expired.  I never had a trial version; I just purchased the software. Tech support is...well, not supportive.  I've spent hours with them with no success and I'm told my issue is a known issue but I guess there is no fix.  They just tell me to contact them again if it doesn't work...well, duh that's why I contacted them in the first place.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 Editor won't launch

         I've downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, which I've purchased. After completely installing and signing in with my Adobe ID, I'm prompted to accept the EULA again. After clicking Accept, the application closes and doesn't open.
    I've uninstalled, rebooted and re-installed the application on my Win 8.1 64-bit system. I had downloaded the PSE 12 trial, which i've uninstalled as well. I know that something was not uninstalled, because after the re-installation I don't see the original splash screen prompting me to choose between the Organizer and the Editor. When I selected the Organizer, it would open fine. I changed the preferences to open immediately in the Editor, hoping that it would launch if that were its only option. This didn't work either. I also tried Adobe online chat support and they advised that they had no online solution to my problem and to post a question in the forum. There is also no phone support option for PSE. What do I do now?

    Thanks for posting the error log.  Unfortunately, it doesn't tell us anything useful.
    Yes, doing a system rollback can be an option, but not just yet.
    The problem with games is that there is always the possibility that they overwrote system files used by other apps.  Uninstalling those games would leave those system files missing.  First try using the built-in MicroSoft System File Check utility:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    Run sfc with the /scannow option.  It can take a while, so be patient.  Even if it reports there were no files to be fixed, it really did, so reboot.

  • Following Windows Update, Photoshop elements 10 editor fails to start.  Can I Uninstall and then reinstall without loosing any catalogues?

    Using Windows 7 Home, and until today have had no problems.
    Windows deleted a whole load of files and now I have problems opening Elements editor.
    Is it safe to simply uninstall Elements and then reinstall?

    Thanks Jeff.  I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1).  However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer.  I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome.  Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem.  As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4.  It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
    Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated.  Thanks
