Elements Organizer shuts down.

I just loaded Adobe photoshop elements. When I try to use some of the find funtions such as finding duplicates a Windows box appears and says that Elements Organizer shut down. Any idea what I can do to correct this.

I'm having the same issue, it says Photoshop elements 10 not responding.
These are things I've tried from other forums:
Re-instal several time.
Clean cashe, delete temp files.
Make Win 7 compatible
Re-install after these changes
5. Skip welcome screen and go direclty to editor and organizer
Still stops working and says photoshop elements 10 not responding

Organizer Shuts Down in PSE 7

I've been using PSE7 for a couple of months with no problems. The other day my computer shut down while I was in the organizer and ever since, I get an error message saying it has to close down. After reading some suggestions, I've learned that if I repair the catalog, I can get into organizer and even do some more work (add photos, create new albums and tags, etc.), but inevitably it will close down again. I did an uninstall and then reinstalled, but the problem continues. It isn't any one action that seems to cause the shutdown....sometimes it's very quickly after I've opened the organizer and other times it will be fine for up to a half hour or so and then it's shut down, repair again and hope for the best. Any suggestions? It's become really frustrating and I'm regretting the upgrade. Thanks!

I too am having trouble with Organizer in PSE 7. My problem is with outputing a slide show to Premier Elements. About 60mgb into the output Organizer shuts down. I've tried uninstalling my DVD drives, uninstalling PSE 7, changing the registry moving scratch disks around, numerous other things, I even sat and watched taskmanager while the file was trying to be output to be sure I didn't have a memory problem in Vista! Still can't output a slide show at all for any use. I did try opening a slide show in PSE 6 and that worked fine. I just didn't want to have to go through the process of recreating a slide show from scratch and since the files are databased files I can't figure out a way to get the show from PSE 7 to PSE 6 without saving it with an output file. Does anyone have any ideas for me regarding any solution short of putting in the hours to recreate the Slide Show????
I don't find WinDVD. Where would I find the .dat file????
Thanks, mary lou

Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down.

I have Adobe Premier Elements 7. When I launch the application then try to begin using it an error is presented which advises Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. When I click OK the program shuts down. I have tried fixes I have found on the Forum. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.

•What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?

Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
Any suggestions?

Hi
a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0). I can choose open project, and choose my project. The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there. Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection. Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works. As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on. The project loaded each time. I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus. Antivirus off - project loads each time. Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens. The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no. So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

Organizer shuts down everytime you open it

my photo shop 11 organizer shuts down every time it is opened can't do anything.

Hi,
This can mean that there is a problem with the catalog.
Try holding down the shift key while you start the organizer. Keep it held down and the Catalog Manager should appear (now release the shift key).
Select you catalog in the lower panel and click on the Repair button
When that has finished, click on the Optimize button
When that is done, click on the Cancel button to close the Catalog Manager
What operating system are you running on?
Good luck
Brian

Premiere Elements 7 shutting down

HP Pavilion dv4 Laptop
Windows Vista Home Premier 64 bit Service Pack 2
Intel Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU
2.00 GHZ
4.0 GB ram
Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset
NOTE: Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 works fine on this computer.
Today I installed Premier Elements 7, as well as the required Elements703_patch. Program will seem to open OK, but when I select a project button and click OK, I get the following message:
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
When I click on the OK to acknowledge this message, the program shuts down.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the program with the same results. I cannot get past this first page of the program. Any assistance in getting the program working will be appreciated.

I have PE 7 on a completely different system in the UK. At first it worked fine, but after the latest update from McAfee it started to come up with the same error message you describe when trying to load a project.
I found I had to switch off 'real time scanning' in McAfee just while the project loaded (then switch it back on).
Using this procedure I no longer get the error message.

When I optimize, the organizer shuts down.

I am trying to optimize my thumbnail images in Elements organizer and whenever I hit optimize, a dialog box pops up saying the organizer has stopped working and windows is trying to find a solution to the problem, which it doesn't, so it shuts the organizer down. I have been having trouble viewing my thumbnail photos for a while and restarting doesn't seem to help..

The system info gives the path to the current catalog location.
You have to find that folder (it may be a hidden folder, so you may have to set your explorer preferences to show hidden files - I assume you are on Windows)
When you have found that folder, have a look inside it and lool for a 'thumbs.5.cache' file. That's the file you have to delete.

Organizer Shuts Down

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8. I'm trying to create a slide show. My Organizer kept shutting down, and now won't open at all. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Make sure the program is not running in the background as sometimes it doers not close down properly.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Click the Processes Tab
If you see any running programs for Adobe highlight each one in the list and click end process.

Elements 10 shut down problems

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and it keeps shutting down unexpectedly whether I am in organizer or editor. I contacted Apple help and they told me that this program was not intended to support 100,000 images and that was most likely why the program keeps shutting down. Is this accurate?

What is Adobe’s top end photo editing and management software program? Can the photo library/catalogues I have in Photoshop Elements 10 be moved into that program or would I have to start over from scratch with downloading images into that program?
Adobe top end photo manager is Lightroom. Professionals are using it for several thousands of pictures.
It can recover most of your PSE catalogs.
See:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Converting_to_Lightroom
(not quite up to date, but that may give you an idea)
The philosophy of Lightroom is different, it is a non-destructive editor... But it is often used in conjunction with PSE.
That said, the PSE organizer can manage many files, and I don't think your problems are due to that number.

Premiere Elements 11 shut down while starting; without error message

hello everybody,
pe11 worked well at my Laptop.
Since a week it always shut down while starting it.
No error message!
I already reinstalled it, tried to start with admin rights, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for your answers!
Win 7 64bit

Matze S
Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Before a week ago, how long had you been working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit without problems?
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on that computer with Premiere Elements 11?
Any new programs, 3rd party plug-ins and codecs, installed?
Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space is at those designated locations? Any pile ups
of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder or conformed audio files in the Media Cache
Files Folder.
Let us get the classic deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file out of the way.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder
in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Depending on how things are going, you might also include right clicking the desktop icon for the program, selecting and applying Run As
Administrator.
Let us work through the above and then, based on your results, we can decide what next if necessary.
Thank you.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Shutting Down

Whenever I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 it immediately shuts down and comes up with an error message. How do I fix this? And does it have anything to do with Windows 8?

Could you specify few details for your problems:
like System details, the Audio, Video formats, Project settings.
Also, display driver details would be helpful.

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 shutting down

Installed adobe premiere elements 9 on a brand new computer. Adding text, videos and photos. If I add on transition the video runs fine. Once I add a second transition and try to run the video the program shuts down in the first 10 seconds and says windows has detected a problem and has to shut down software. We will be notified once there is a solution. Any help?
