Elements organizer stops working

Why does my elements organizer stop running when I open it up?

bigmoogoo
As Hunt has already asked and which is very important to include
a. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
But, you say only Elements Organizer, not including Premiere Elements nor Photoshop Elements?
So, I will add these additional questions:
What are you doing in the Elements Organizer when it stops working. Just opening it? Is this a "it worked before but now" issue or a "it never worked before" issue. Please detail.
Once we get the basic details requested above, we can plan troubleshooting strategy which might involve:
a. deleting the settings file
b. creating a new catalog
c. looking at what you have imported into the Elements Organizer or are trying to import into it
But all is speculation without more details.
Thanks.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer stops working

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 and when I open the Organizer, I get a message that the program has stopped working and is going to close, while the Editor is still operational.  I uninstalled Elements 10 before my new installation.  How can I fix this?

    It might work but this is not a practical solution.
    I have many picture folders on my pc and several of these have AVC files.
    My intention was to use Photo Shop Essentials to edit my pictures. Unfortunately the "Organizer" app crashes when trying to work with my Catalog.
    I have narrowed it down to only happening when there are AVC files in my folders. I have seen others have this issue and I found the issue by what they recommended.
    Sadly if I am unable to get this to work with my current folders I will have to dump Essentials for another application.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer Stops Working due to Sony AVCHD files

    Hello I installed Adobe Photoshop elements and have been having trouble with it crashing.
    To solve this problem I deleted my Catalog and added a Catalog with only one folder.
    This folder has photos, in JPEG and Sony .ARW format as well as AVCHD files.
    I found that by removiing the AVCHD files from the catalog the SW would no longer crash.
    This really is not a practical solution since my PC has many folders with many AVC files.
    I am trying to see if there is a SW patch or another way to address this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on Windows 7 Ultimate N.

    A few months ago, Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultinate N computer.  The photo editor still works and so does Adobe Premiere Elements 8.  Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?  I've done a lot of looking on the Internet with no luck.
    Thanks!

    Hi Michel
    Have tried those few things that seem to be still applicable to version 11 (as you will know it is not being maintained and stops at version 8).  
    However, I don't understand what is meant by "sometimes deleting it's saved preferences and registry entries fixes the problem.  To do that see these Adobe Tech. notes."   Unfortunately the link goes to a page which no longer exists.  I guess that rather than "deleting" the saved preferences the author means re-setting to default ?   "Deleting registry entries" is a task which should, as I understand it, only be done by those with a high degree of expertise.  I am not one of them !
    Any comment you have will be gratefully received.

  • Elements 11 organizer stops working

    My elements 11 organizer stops working (not responding message)  or is very slow that is when it does'nt blue screen my PC. If I am doing anything else my PC runs fine but as soon as I try to open elements it crashes. I have tried running elements with XP which makes it worse but even with windows 7 which it used to run ok with is having these problem.  I have run virus scans,updates and anything else I can do to try and help element run properly. Please can anyone help as this is getting very frustrating.

    Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
    Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

  • My elements 7 organizer "stopped working" how do I fix this?

    My Photoshop elements 7 Organizer "stopped working".  How do I fix this?

    I see that you responded to a previous post about this error that you're trying to follow the suggested fixes and do not know what your <username> is.
    It is the name in the screen you use when you log on to Windows.  You can also find it by opening Windows Explorer, expanding the "Local Disk (C:)" folder, expanding the "Users" folder and seeing the name of the folder listed below the "Administrator" folder.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working

    My Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working.  Error message; "A prpoblem caused theis program to stop working correctly.  Windows will clsoe the program and notify you if a solution is available.  How can I repair?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    -Check if AutoAnalyzer.exe is running in your task manager. End the task and try.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Photoshope Elements 11 Stops Working

    Photoshop Elements 11 stops working after it opens the organizer.  This is after I imported pics / movies from my cell phone which caused it to crash. Any suggestions?

    No.  The program stops working a few seconds after the Organizer opens up.
    The only reason I brought up importing photos is because this problem started after I tried to import photos directly from my cell phone.  The first time I tried to import photos from my phone, I connected the phone via USB.  Then I used the "Get Photos" feature in Organizer and selected the drive which showed up corresponding to the phone.  Unfortunately, I think it downloaded items that were not photos or videos.  It crashed during the attempt to import.  When the organizer opens up I have a few seconds to see my photos and there are a few that look like bar codes and rainbow colors.  I am concerned that the program downloaded files from the phone that are causing the problem.
    I searched through my photo folders looking for bad files but could not find any.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Elements an the problem persists.

  • "Adobe elements has stopped working."

    I've received the error "Adobe elements has stopped working" and then the program closes.  It has happened numerous times and now happens more and more often.  Does anyone have any fixes for this?

    I've been having the same problem.
    Win7 64bit 8GB RAM, 500GB free hard drive space.  All Win updates in place on a regular basis (last time was 2 days ago).
    I often get the "stopped working" popup message on my desktop right after I close the program (well, yeah, I would hope it would stop working when I close it) and also increasingly get it on the desktop when I open the program (before the PE12 screen opens).  This latter popup "stopped working" message will persist until I close the popup window, even though the program is working just fine.
    The most occurrences of actual crashes seem to be when doing a lot of titles (new or editing existing), when saving, and when exporting.
    For awhile it seemed (very subjectively) that rendering the project before saving or exporting possibly helped reduce the number of occurrences, but just now the "stopped working" message popped up and the program quit while I was rendering (got about 80% through).
    This time I checked the "check online for a solution" box, but to no avail--there was a brief period while Windows searched online, and then the program shut down anyway.
    I've tried rebooting, making sure other programs were closed, etc. but nothing really seems to have much effect.  The same project will save or export just fine on one occasion, then if I so much as change a word in a title it will become unstable.  The entire project is 26 minutes long.  One video track (2) with titles, one main video track (1), one audio track (mostly empty) of ambient sound with the video, one sound track.
    I will try Steve's suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-Shift for awhile on opening.  (This helps when PSE tools freeze up.)  Thanks for the tip!

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working trying to add media via videos from camera

    When I try to add media selecting videos from camera or flip, Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working and closes. What might be the problem?

    elizabethmeow
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you had the opportunity to update 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Update?
    What are the full properties of your source media and how are you importing them that you are trying to import into the project? A quick way to get that information, if you do not know that information, is for you to post the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Element 13, and are you running the program as Administrator?
    Lots of additional questions, but the answers to the above may give us the answer that you need to resolve you issue.
    Thank you.

  • During app load, Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Why?

    Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly" I re-installed it but still the same.
    I haven't installed any other apps except adobe reader and there were a few Windows updates but that was it. Some history - I had defraged my hard drive when this started to happen. Wouldn't the re-install have fixed it if the de-frag caused this problem? What is causing elements to stop loading at the splash screen?

    DFMA
    Thanks for the follow up with the very helpful information.
    If this is one of those Importer QuickTime type issues, the answers are few if any.
    If you have not already tried
    Have you attempted to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary,
    the whole 11.0 Folder in which it exists.
    then, please try the following...
    My expectations for the following are not high, but worth the time -
    1 uninstall the usual Control Panel way - you might want to uninstall QuickTime at the same time.
    2. free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    CCleaner - Download
    3. reinstall QuickTime and then Premiere Elements with anti-virus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Others on the list...
    1. Create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges and install and run Premiere Elements
    from there.
    2. Use a new set of installation files either from Adobe if you purchased the program from it as an online
    download, or get tryout installation files for 11 into which you can insert your purchased serial number.
