Elements fails to open installs correctly

Intalled elements 11 on Dell laptop with Windows 8 64bit, intel 3000 graphics with latest drivers. No errors but when I go to open elements from photoshop or new project, program begins to load but disappears. If I go to uninstall, I am told program is open but it s not visible in running applications or on screen or task bar. Reinstalled and installed several time with same result.

How are you doing? Any break throughs yet?
I have been studying your thread and have pin pointed some more questions to ask. I did not want to take anything for granted.
1. Back in your post #4 in this thread you wrote
"I ran as administrator which got me to the Welcome to Adobe and I can pick photoshop or elements. photoshop works but when I pick elements it starts to load, blue progress bar and circle show. After a minute everything disappears. I believe all drivers are up to date".
Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are standalong programs. If you use the Premiere Elements 11 desktop icon that typically comes with the program (initiating Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe), that should be opening Premiere Elements to its Welcome Screen where your choices are Organizer or Video Editor/New Project or Existing Project. There is no choice for Photoshop Elements. Did you mean Organizer when you wrote Photoshop?
2. When you install Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit, do you accept the Default location in
Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe and then have the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Folder in the Adobe Folder there.
How much free hard drive space do you have where Adobe Premiere Elements 11 is on the hard drive? How much install and available RAM does your computer have? Who did the upgrade from Vista 64 bit to Windows 8 64 bit? A shop or you?
Did you get a chance to do the ccleaner regular and registry maintenance?
One of favorite statements is "Problems with the same symptoms can (often do) have different causes." Keeping that in mind, have you seen this Premiere Elements 11 Windows 8 64 bit Adobe thread on the issue of Premiere Elements 11 not opening? The end of the thread gets interesting when it talks about some "fixes".
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4773135
Among many others things, one of the posts in this thread goes to running Premiere Elements 11 from a new User Account with Administrative Privileges. Have you tried that yet?
We will continue to watch for your progress.
Thanks.

Hi JuVé Photography,
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Elements 12 completely? Sometimes that error can occur if the current installation became damaged.
You should be able to download the installer again if you need it from here: Download Photoshop Elements products | 12, 11, 10

"Error opening installation log file" when installing Photoshop Elements 10

I bought Photoshop Elements 10 , Premiere Elements 10 .... I got the Premiere to download no problem but i can't get the photoshop to download. This is the msg that I am getting when I try to dl it "Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exsists and is writable". Not sure why I can download one and not the other since they are both on the same disc. Plus in the program that I purchased I has 5 DVD's. Any suggestions??

BlackBerry Desktop Software installs but then fails to open

Purchased BlackBerry today.
BlackBerry Desktop Software installs from distribution disc but then fails to open. Can see it in Windows Task Manager>Processes, as follows:
Windows Task Manager>Processes
Image Name: DesktopMge.exe CPU: 00 Mem Usage: 7,764 K
Windows Task Manager>Applications
Not listed!
I UNISTALLED previous installation of BlackBerry Desktop Software, including user settings.
Downloaded and installed the installation file for BlackBerry Desktop Software version 4.7, “470_b050_english.exe”, but with same result. Uninstalled it, too.
As suggest elsewhere in this forum, I made directory as follows: C:\INSTALL\Blackberry
Then extracted the downloaded installation file for BlackBerry Desktop Software version 4.7, “470_b050_english.exe”, into it.
Then started installation by clicking on “BlackBerrySetup.exe”.
However, the result is the same, as described above. BlackBerry Desktop Software installs but then fails to open.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to make this software work.
Is there alternative software available?
Solved!

HOWTO : use your blackberry as a USB device
and then install the Desktop Manager as administrator.
and use it as administrator too.

Adobe Premiere Elements does not open after installation

Hello,
I have written before last week. I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
I had a trial version of Photoshop Elements 11 and with the code I could access the full version.
However Premiere Elements did not open after installation. I did not had a trial version so I first downloaded the full program. I went through the whole installation process and everything seemed ok, no error messages. But when I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements after restarting the computer it did not open at all. Nothing happened.
I have de-installed and re-installed the program for a couple of times over and over again but with not result. Also tried to download the trial version first and also this didn't work. I checked my Quicktime and updated to the latest version.
I use a Windows laptop: Asus Intel Core i5-2430M, 2,4 GHz
I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!
Inge

I am not sure what to do here also the link at your reply "working with your operation system tools" didn't work..(got the "broken link error")
thanks

Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open. How do you set the default file location?

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank you

Hi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

Your solution worked when applied to a administrative user account but did work with a student account.
I'm not sure why that is happening.
If you're on Vista or Windows 7, you could try setting the program to run permanently as Administrator, as described here:

If that doesn't help, my only suggestion would be to work through these tedious troubleshooting steps:

[Solved] Openbox-Message: Failed to open the display from the ....

ArchLinuxForums_Suck wrote:
Hey, I'm new to Arch and I've been working on setting it up on my Laptop and so far I haven't had very many problems save one. I can't get any of the available Window Managers. Whenever I try running them I get a message like:
"wmii: fatal: Can't open display," or "Error: Couldn't connect to XServer" (Fluxbox), or "twm: unable to open display" or "dwm: cannot open display" or "Openbox-Message: Failed to open display from the DISPLAY environment variable,". What am I supposed to do? I've checked to see if it was a problem with my installation of Openbox by reinstalling that and installing several other window managers, and I've checked to see if it was a problem with me not having the right kernel modules loaded, but after I ran "hwdetect --load-modules," which is supposed to load all detectable modules, but even after that I still get the same messages. Any ideas, I've tried just about everything that I know\have thought about, so yeah... any ideas?

I still can't run openbox without xinit, and I tried running "xinit wmii," but it didn't seem to work, although it did run, but I couldn't do anything. It looked exactly the same was as "xinit openbox" did right after I installed "vesa," which was the first package I downloaded and installed via pacman.
tomk wrote:
You need to read a bit more about how X works - you can't run any window manager unless there's a X session for it to run on. That's why xinit works. Set up your ~/.xinitrc correctly and use startx.
xinit wmii ran a wmii session, but I guess you didn't configure it at all - that's why you couldn't do anything. Again, more reading required.

Oh, I see. So an X-session is something that's required. Oh, okay.

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open Address Book database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just yesterday, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open Address Book database”. I think this error was caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system yesterday.
I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my address list, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the Address Book database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. I do NOT have an export file of the Palm address book or other databases. However, I do have five levels of backup history on my external Maxgor backup drive.
Specifically, on my current c drive I have files in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Handspring\WR\address
            address.bak                  5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
            address.dat                   5/24/2011
            Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
            Unfiled.ABA    3/28/2008
On my most recent backup of my system, there are the following files:
                        address.bak                 5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
                        address.dat                  5/12/2011
                        Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
                        Unfiled.ABA      3/28/2008
I have not listed the four older backup versions.
I haven’t tried any corrective measures yet (I don’t want to make matters worse) and am hoping that someone can guide me along the right path.
Is it possible for me to just rename the “current” address.dat file to something like address.SAV and then copy the Address.dat file file with date of 5/12/2011 into the current directory. Will the software then just use the older version of the data, or must I do something else.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you very much.

Post relates to: Visor Deluxe

Thanks for the speedy response. However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me. All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function. Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database. Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?
So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop. I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop. However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
I have some questions now:
(1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)? If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
(2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database? Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
Thanks for your help.

Flash CC failing when opening existing FLA

Hi,
I have several Flash Professional projects (primarily AIR Android), that fail to open in Flash Professional CC with the following error message:
     Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged.
These same FLA files open fine in Flash Professional CS6, so I know that they are not damaged.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, a little different scenario though. The FLA is originally from Flash CS6, saved as a Flash CC FLA.
After saving and reopening it defaulted to "Scene 2" and wrote to the output panel, "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." The library was empty and nothing was on the stage. File properties (stage width/height, framerate, etc) were correct, there was just nothing in the library.
Try #1: I retrieved the original FLA from GitHub and tried it again. This time it was okay after a save and reopen.   All good. Later I saved again, closed, and reopen the next day. It was corrupted again.
Try #2: I retrieved the original FLA from GitHub and tried it again. This time I copied all the library items from the old library to a fresh, new Flash CC FLA. Saved, closed, and reopened. Corrupted file again.
Try #3: I retrieved the original FLA again. This time I copied the library items to a fresh XFL file. Saved, closed, everything okay. Later saved, closed, found the file corrupted again. Digging into the ~/Library folder of the XFL package there's nothing that seems wrong... all the XML files are there.
Try #4: Opened on a different computer. Still corrupted.
As long as I have the FLA/XFL open it won't go corrupt. Its the moment I save and close that there are problems.   I'm working on a Mac OS 10.8, I uninstalled and reinstalled both Flash CS6/CC and Flash Builder 4.7 to ensure it wasn't bad installs. Library is a mix of buttons, bitmaps, and movieClips. Flash CS6 now suffers the same fate too after the latest update.
