Elements 8 won't load????

I have XP and I put the disk in the drive and it begins to turn, but then stops and nothing happens.  I'm able to install other types of software with no problem.  I've tried everything.  Turned off virus software and etc.  Any suggestions?  I called the camera store and they won't take it back.  Ready to give up and sell it on eBay.

When the disk is in the CD-Rom/DVD Drive try browsing to My Computer. Right click on the Disk icon and select Run or Open.
If the program still fails to install you could try to download the 30 day free trial version at the following link.
Before the 30 days is up you can simply input your product serial number that came with your disk.

    Hi,
    Please try resetting preferences?
    On Windows: Goto %appdata%\Adobe\Elements Organizer\12.0\Organizer folder and rename the files “psa.prf” (to say psa_old.prf) and “status.dat” (to say status_old.dat).
    Try launching Organizer and see if it launches fine.

  • Help! Premiere Elements 7 won't load project

    Premiere elements 7  won't load my project.  Icon just spins - for about 10 minutes - then it freezes.  Figures that I am so close to finishing!!!  What are my options?  Can I copy the project and open on another computer?  Can I download a newer version of Pre and upload the unifinshed project??  Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE does not offer that many options, if a Project goes "off."
    However, these would be my first steps, and pretty much in this order:
    Go to the PrE AutoSaves, and change the View to Details, so you can see the Dates/Times. Try Opening the very latest one. Note: if you have not changed the default, there should be five AutoSave files, and they should be located in the PrE AutoSave folder, in the Project's heirarchy. You want the latest one, not the one with the highest increment. AutoSave 03 could be newer, than AutoSave 05.
    If that does not work, then try this - Move your Assets to a new location. Then, Open your original Project. As it loads, you should be presented with "Where is file _____?" and that is what you want.Here is the tricky part. If you have many Assets, and hopefully they are in the same folder, or a few folders, and not spread around the system. I would move all Video Assets to a Video folder, all stills to a Stills folder, all Audio to an Audio folder, etc. as you want to isolate things. When presented with the "Where is file ____?" navigate to the folder with that file, and locate it. PrE will then relink to all used Assets in that folder. This is why I would segregate Assets by type, to isolate the problem, if possible. If all of your Video files load fine, you will get a "Where is file ____?" for the stills, or the music, and repeat. If the Project fails on one Asset type, then you have located the bad Asset by type, and can repeat the exercise, by segregating each file in that Asset type, to a unique folder, navigating to each folder, when prompted, until you find the bad Asset.
    In the tests above, never do a Save, but only a Save_As, so as to not overwrite the original PREL file.
    Good luck, and hope that it is a bad Asset, and nothing more.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 won't load

    Hi
    I've installed Photoshop Elements 10.  When I try to load the program it seems to load, but as soon as it opens it shuts down again.  After this has happened once, it won't load at all unless I restart my computer.  I've re-installed the program multiple times, but it hasn't made any difference.
    Can you help?

    I'm running Windows 7 Professional on an Alienware 14X.  Its got an i7 processor and 16GB RAM.  It works if I load from the editor, but not if I try and load any other way.

  • Photoshop elements 12 won't load on 2nd computer

    Got PE12 for Christmas and have loaded it on desktop (for home use) and am trying to load it on laptop (for travel use).  Won't load.  Took multiple attempts (5) to finally get it to load on desktop.

    Intel Core 2 Processer - 2.2 GHz, 4 GB Memory, NVidia GeForce 8600 graphics, Windows 7 on both computer.  Both Desktop and Laptop have Photoshop CS 5 installed and are usable.
    Got out external DVD drive and connected it to 2 different USB ports.  Progress bar at top showed that it was reading the drive until it got to just of 50% and then message 'Please insert disk in DVD drive'
    Think there is a problem with the disk.  FYI, the serial number for the software is <removed>.  I have not registered this software after installing it on the desktop, rather wanted to get it installed on both first.

  • Premiere Elements 8 won't load recently saved project

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 to create a highlight video.  I made two videos last year and didn't have this problem but this video is slightly longer.  About twenty minutes total consisting of approximately 100 video clips.  I've added one more group of clips and not when I try to load the saved project I just get a gray blank screen.  The load message finishes but nothing appears.  The drop down menus are mostly still grayed out.  No good selections except to press load project again.  This causes a system error that shuts down the application.  Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave Flick

    Bill, here is the good news.
    I updated the Quick Time like you suggested but no help.  I updated the video driver but no help.  I disabled the hardware acceleration but no help.  During this time I realized the problem started after I upgraded McAfee.  I remembered the new McAfee Real Time scanning effected my Outlook software.  So I disabled the McAfee Real Time scanning and then Premiere Elements 8 would successfully load my saved project.  What a relief.  I went back and Turned On the McAfee Real Time scanning but changed the setting to only scan programs and documents, not all files as previously set.  I'm back in business and really appreciate your help.  Thanks a million.

  • Premiere elements 11 won't load

    Premiere element 11 will not load on my Windows 7 PC.  Running the adobe premier elements11.exe file has no effect at all.
    Any help would be gratefully received!

    Did we establish yet if this is a "it worked before but not now problem" or "it never worked" type problem?
    Given you have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit)...
    Make sure that Premiere Elements 11 is closed. Right click the Taskbar, select Task Manager/Processes, and do an End Process for any Adobe Premiere Elements process that you find opened.
    Make sure that you are working with the Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active.
    Then...
    Go to
    Local Disk C
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and, in the 11.0 folder, find the files named Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe and Adobe Premiere Elements.exe. Double click the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file and see if Premiere Elements 11 opens. If it does, create a desktop shortcut for it and open the program from it. That choice will have you bypassing the Welcome screen when you open the program.
    If the idea goes nowhere in the direction of a solution....
    Do the deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file via
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
    and
    Make sure that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements.
    Make sure that you are running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative
    Priviledges.
    If no success, at this point, Help Menu/Deactivate within the program, close the program, do an uninstall in Control Panel area,
    use ccleaner on the system, then reinstall the program with firewalls and anti-virus disabled. Speaking of anti-virus, at the
    very beginning of all this, you might want to disable the anti-virus to determine if it or one of its updates has gotten you into
    your present situation.
    An, if all else has failed to work, there is always creating a new User Account with Administrative Priviledges and just opening the program there.
    Let us review the results from the above and then decide what next if necessary..
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...My desktop and laptop both have Intel HD Graphics and present no issues on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8 64 bit with a variety of Premiere Elements programs.

  • PS Elements 8 won't load

    When I try to load PS Elements 8, the welcome screen comes on, but when I click on Organize or Edit, nothing happens. Can I download PSE8 to reinstall or repair my program? I don't have an installation disk.

    Go into the program files or program files (x86) for 64-bit systems and try launching the editor and/or organizer from the .exe file. If that works, make a desktop shortcut for either or both and forget about the welcome screen.

  • Elements 10 Won't Load

    I installed the Costco version of Elements 10 on my XP system and it doesn't load when I click on the program. It has in the past, but not now. It seems to be loading, then quits. Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    Just for the heck of it, I just ran RegClean Pro. It found 53 'Startup and Uninstall' errors which it corrected. Then, I rebooted.
    I was then able to load Elements Organizer by going to All Programs.
    Then, I exited the program, and tried it a second time. Nope, just a blip on the HD light,,then nothing.
    I rebooted again. It loaded.
    It appears there's something which requires a reboot prior to loading Elements.
    Appreciate your help.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 won't load

    Hi,
    I just received PSE-8 DVD. I found that the DVD player reads something but never get the program to install loaded.
    1-WIN XP-PRO SP3.
    2-Norton INternet Security 2010
    3-3GHZ processor.
    4-Gigabyte DVD player
    5-I have no other installation problems(PSE-4 installed OK, still installed).
    6-I have disabled NIS 2010 Antivirus/Firewall/Tampering & used MSCONFIG to not load startup items as well as non-Microsoft services, no luck.
    7-If I rightclick on DVD drive-e, My Computer hangs, and if I view Taskmanager the result is "Not Responding"
      >I have tried a music DVD, no problems.
      >To get rid of no response I must eject the DVD.
    Can I accept the Adobe DVD must be faulty ? It states XP/Vista/WIN7.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Try using Windows Explorer to copy the contents of the DVD to a folder on your desktop.  If that doesn't work, then there's an incompatibility between the DVD and your drive.  If you have access to another computer, try copying the DVD contents there to a flash drive or external drive.  If Windows Explorer on two different computers can't copy the DVD, then you know it's the disk that's the problem, and you should ask the seller for a replacement.  If the other computer can copy the DVD, then it's likely that the fault is with your DVD drive.
    If you can successfully copy the contents of the DVD to a folder on your desktop or a drive, then you can double-click setup.exe in the copy to install it.

  • Help appreciated. Using Mac OSX 10.9.5.  Photoshop Elements 11 won't load returns error 213:5 (Problem has occurred with licensing of this product)

    Have tried following but no solution so far:
    1. Uninstall and reinstall
    2.Removed com.adobe.photoshopElements.Plist, and further uninstall and reinstall
    3. Set up new admin account (to address possible missing permissions) and launched PSE 11 but same problem
    4.Booted in safe mode to exclude possible plug in issues- no difference
    (Adobe Premier Elements 11 still works fine).  I suspect the PSE 11 problem is license key related??? but can't find any further info and am at a loss what to do next. 
    Any suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated

    That error means there is a critical crash or signature error in the licensing system. Could be that you may need to check your system's security certificates, firewall and other things...

  • Premiere Elements 9 won't load

    Hi! I am in desperate need of help. I just purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 9, along with a new PC. It's a Dell Inspiron with an i3 processor, 4 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive and Windows 7 64bit.
    Adobe PE 9 opened at first, but then would crash every time I tried to add a theme. Now, even if I click to open a new project, I get a message saying that it has encountered a serious error and must close.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the content. I cannot uninstall the program, because the deactivate button is grayed out. I also tried disabling McAfee. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I have taken the following steps, with no luck.
    -Updated to Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
    -Downloaded the PRE 9 update.
    -Ran Disk Cleanup
    -Ran Disk defragmenter.
    -Updated BIOS software
    -Checked for new drivers for audio and graphics.
    -Disabled anti virus
    -Turned off Windows Indexing
    I have 871 GB of free, defragmented space on my hard drive. I am only using one hard drive. All I have tried to do so far with PRE is use photos that I have saved on the hard drive. I haven't even gotten to videos yet!
    Here are the two error messages:
    "There is no drive in the disk. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk3\DR3." (This error message occurs whenever I try to use Instant Movie or Themes.)
    "A serious error has occured. The program must shut down." (This happens whenever I click to open a new project.)
    I read Bill's help article and think I have done everything he mentioned. Any other suggestions? I was so excited to use this program and really want to get started playing around with it!
    Thank you so much for your help!
