Hi everytime I try to open elements 5 I get " attempt to access invalid address" message.

I have to uninstall the program and reinstall it every time I need to use it if the machine has been shut down between installs. The repair option makes no difference either. It's on a vista 32 bit machine with the vista update installed, any ideas please.

Try deleting the prefs which will get re-built to the default status.
Go to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
Find PhotoshopElementsEditor (see image below) and hold down the three keys Ctrl+ Alt+Shift (not Ctrl+Alt+Delete) then right click on the editor application and choose Open.
Keep all three keys pressed until you see the settings dialog and then release.
Click on Yes and the program should launch.

Elements 5.02 - Attempt to access invalid address

When I try to launch Photoshop 5.02 the welcome screen is displayed and I can open the Organizer, but when I attempt to open the Quick Fix or the other editor programs I get a dialogue box "Attempt to access invalid address"
This problem is on my profile only as Photoshop works when another user is logged in to the PC ( OS: Vista Home 32bit) and was working ok until a few week ago.
I have tried the following with no success:
Reinstalled the s/w.
Deleing the Photoshop folder from the AppData in my profile folder.
Deleting the Photoshop registry entries from Current User.
Searched the web for a solution
I know that I could delete my profile and create a new one, but I would only do this if all else failed as I would loose other settings just when I have all setup the way I want it.
Could anyone give me any pointers to where I might look to resolve this please.
Thank you. Niall

Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions. Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
- Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
Quit Photoshop Elements.
Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try. If it does not, take these steps:
- Uninstall Photoshop Elements
- Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
- Reinstall Elements
- Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch
Good luck,

Photoshop Elements 5.0 Attempt to access invalid address error

Everytime I try to open Photoshop Elements I get this error message
and the application refuses to load. I had this issue before and solved it by deleting Chrome (which irked me as it remains my favourite browser to use) however it appears to have come back. I'm not using Bitdefender and my operating system is Windows 7. I have tried deleting my preference folders and uninstalling and re-installing. Any help? I really don't have the money to upgrade and I like this version.

Have you applied the 5.0.2 update for Vista/W7? If not download it here:

What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.

Elements 4 "attempt to access invalid address"

I had to re-install Win XP and when I re-installed Elements 4 I can no longer open a .jpg file by right clicking "open with photoshop elements". Instead I get the msg: "attempt to access invalid address".
Assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

After further search on the internet I was able to find out the cause of the problem -- there is a conflict with my anti virus security BitDefender 2010. A solution can be found here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/lofiversion/index.php/t15247.html
Most of the post refer to a problem with Elements 5 and 5.1 but the solution worked for my verison also.

HT1349 Everytime I try to open Itunes I get ab erroe message saying that " an application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly" This pop-up box has a heading of Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Libraryand declares a " runtime error"

Evertime I try to open Itines I get an error message for a " runtime error " from Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library --- Help Please

I actually solved the issue myself. In my prior attempts, I was only un-installing iTunes from the Control Panel. This time I un-installed everything Apple: ITunes, QuickTime, and any software application that was from Apple.
Once I removed all of the Apple software and re-downloaded iTunes, everything worked perfectly.

Elements 5 won't open, error message "attempt to access invalid address" any solutions please.

I have been using this for years with other problems, however now it refuses to open. I have uninstalled and re-installed after restarting the computer twice. I also deleted every folder I could find with elements in the name to no avail. If I read a camera card elements get photos opens them into elements organiser but if I click the edit photos tab it refuses to open. I have windows vista 32 bit.

Hi Garry,
Yes, I did download PSE 8 and it did work. However, the trial period has ended. I have uninstalled PSE 8. I have also unistalled PSE 5 and then reloaded it. Upon completeion of the PSE 5 load, I tried to open the PSE 5 and the invalid address error message continues to display. I am very sad that I cant get PSE 5 to work. Can you help with more things I can try? Please let me know
All the best

I installed Photoshop Elements 13 which appreared to do fine. Everytime I try to open it I get the message "Photoshop has quit working, closed the program

Original CD Program with reg-number Win7 64bithome 8mb ram, i have re-install the program, and cancelled all reg. but nothing change. How can i use this program. One week ago it was normal, but since 3 days i can not work. I have the Lightroom 5 on my computer - there no problems.

I installed Photoshop 13 which appreared to do fine. Everytime I try to open it I get the message "Photoshop has quit working and is shutting down." Why?0

I installed Photoshop Elements and Preimere 13. This appearred to install properly but I can not open it. When it opens the circle goes around for awhile but then a pop up say that Photoshop has stopped working and is shutting down. Also. how do I get my photos from Photoshop 10 into Photoshop 13?

You don't have "Photoshop" proper. You have a cheapo emasculated version called Photoshop Elements. That is NOT Photoshop.
As Gene told you:
Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.

Everytime I try to open safari I get an error message of "Safari quit unexpectedly while using the Internet Accounts plug in

can anyone help with this issue?

Try starting Safari while holding down the shift key. Hold it down until it opens.
That should disable reloading any pages, if that is the problem. The Home page will open, though.
If that fails, I'm not sure what the Accounts plug in is, but it would be insid Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/

Everytime I try to open Firefox i get an error message saying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

I have restarted my computer and uninstalled and re-installed firefox and it still doesnt work. i also had a trojan virus when firefox stopped working

Do you have a profile lock file in your profile folder? If so, delete it and see if TB runs properly:

Adobe Element 5 will not run if a firefox browser is open, give meassage "attempt to access invalid address" however it runs fine if browser closed

I had this problem with Google Chrome and had to uninstall it completely. The problem occurred even if Chrome wasn't running.

Sounds like a problem with Adobe Element, since it caused a problem with two different browsers.
