Help!  I'm stuck on the Task Bar and I can't get up!

I recently upgraded to Premiere Elements 8, and now I can start the program but as soon as I open a project the window minimizes to the task bar.  I can not restore the window to show-up on the screen.  The Organizer works OK, and the Adobe startup window show-up OK.  Even the Premiere Elements window will show-up while it's loading a project, but as soon as the project is loaded... it hides down on the task bar.  It was working fine just after I installed it.  It's been a couple of weeks since I ran it last.  I have installed the 8.0.1 update.  What a tease!
I've attached a couple of images of the program on the task bar just in case this helps.  My system is Window 7 Ultimate.  I have two 24" displays (both working fine), lots of memory and disk space, and it's a Dell XPS 9000 box.
Please let me know how to coax my beloved Premiere Elements out of hiding!

Hi Steve -- Thanks for your quick response.  I do have the 64-bit version installed on the C drive as shown in the screen  snippet below. The reference to the D drive in my earlier post was to the Premiere project file, which I dont keep on my system drive.  You've also suggested that I update my video driver, which I confirmed was up to date (as per snapshot below).
You questions got me poking however, and I think I've found a way to circumvent the problem (which looks ilke a bug to me).  Apparently, the Welcome window always launches the Premiere editor in maximized mode.  When you subsequently open (a new or existing) project, the window resizes to the size that it was when you last used it.  When I was experiencing the problem, this size was "minimized on the task bar forever".
To get around this, I used the settings menu on the top right of the Welcome window to set the option "Always Launch Premiere Elements Editor behind the Welcome Screen".  This show the editor window maximized, but it allows me to resize the editor window in the normal way, before I open a project.  Now when I subsequently opened a project file, the editor window did not dive into the Task Bar!
Moreover, on subsequent launches the Welcome window still shows the editor window maximized, but the auto resize after opening a project now uses the size that I manually set in my manual sizing procedure in the above paragraph.  For me it's fixed!!
Perhaps the context that provokes the bug is that I never set a non-maximized size for the editor, and the auto resize gets confused about the desired size of the editor window?
-- Thanks, Ole Pa

    Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded.  Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows.  Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution  so it uses its pixels  however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display.  Other application let Windows  scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels.  The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays  2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
    The reg update  and external manifest file  effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size  in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution.  Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768.  Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
    Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display  3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

  • When i click on exe the thing loads to the task bar and will not go to the desktop the desktop even after clicking on

    when i click on the firefox exe it loads my home page but will not load to the desktop it stays in the task bar and when i put the cursor over it i can see the the page is loaded but when i try to get it to pop onto the desktop nothing happens uninstall it an did a reinstalled same prob did a repair same problem did a system restore and sill no desktop having to use google chrome and i hate it'''bold text'''

    Alright, well let's try this then.
    Restart your computer. After you restart your PC, let's try starting Firefox up in Safe Mode. Read [[Safe Mode|this article]] to see how to start in Safe Mode. If Firefox starts up normally, then this is likely a problem with your extensions, so we will need to disable them one by one (or disable them all and re-enable them one by one) to figure out the offender.
    Another thing is please update to Firefox 11 (go to [[www.getfirefox.com|www.getfirefox.com]] to download it since you can't get Firefox open to update). It does have some bug fixes that might help your problem.

  • Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

    I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?

    My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!

    Can see the Start Screen more or less works as the Start Screen in Windows 8. However, the coupling features needs to be there. It's a mess.
    And there is still the ambiguity between the Taskbar (= Start) and the Start Screen (= Start). It's the same thing, pinning.
    And they should relate to desktop virtualization.
    May be you could have the icons on the current task bar flow with the start screen area? Work the coloring - and the "ease out" of the menu. So it would seem the task bar is just extending into a bigger area. Then as a user you
    could put the pins used on a daily basis at the very bottom. And the ones used weekly on the Start Screen for instance.
    Additionally,  grouping of pins is needed. That was a nice feature on the Start Screen. And it should be available on the task bar for pins as well - now that the task bar and the Start Screen should be more or less merged as in this
    proposition.

    I agree. I think the Start Menu tiles should function EXACTLY the same as the Start Screen tiles, which includes the arrangement options in groups as well as the ability to multi-select/pin/move/unpin tiles.
    I would also add that I'd like an option to hide the search and task-switcher buttons from the taskbar. Task switcher is redundant considering you can also swipe and keyboard-shortcut that feature. Search is accessible from Start Menu, although
    I understand that once Cortana is enabled via Search button that might change my opinion of its usefulness there.

  • I'm using Pale Moon x64. The icon on the task bar and start menu looks like a 'computer' and not the pale moon icon-why is that?

    My computer is Windows 7-64 bit.
    I recently installed the Pale Moon x64 from the proper site.
    All is working properly, except that the 'icon' for PM in the task bar and start menu is not the blue moon. I wonder why that is and how I can change it.
    This happened on install of PM.

    Thanks, but I can't find any answer to my question there.
    I can't even figure out how to post a question.
    When I put a few words in the comment section/bar, the result was nil.
    Everything is working, I just want the icon to be correct.
    I guess the motto of 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' may have to satisfy me.
    Maybe it will change when there is an update.
