How do I find the "Preferences" file within Elements 10 to fix the runtime error? I can't find it any where

I am trying to fix the runtime error that occurs when I open the Photoshop Elements 10 editor and shuts down the program. I am using the instructions found on the abode website here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-c-runtime-errors-products.html
There are no good instructions telling me what the Preferences file is named or how to find it. If someone could help that would be great.

If you are using Windows 7 then the preference file that needs to be renamed is at this location:
<C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0\Editor>
In the above path, replace USERNAME with your windows profile name which could be something like jblogetc or whatever. Also the preference file is called: Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Prefs.psp and this needs to be renamed to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Prefs.old
Once this done, restart PSE 10 and then see if it works.

What is the name of the Bookmarks file? I just bought a new computer and can't find the file to transfer from the old computer. I'm going from Windows XP to Windows 7

I was running Firefox 4.1 on a 32 Bit Windows XP Computer. I just bought a 64 Bit Windows 7 computer and reinstalled Firefox. I backed up all of my XP programs and data to an external drive but I can't find a file for my previous Firefox Bookmarks. What is the filename and possible folder where I can find my old bookmarks and how do I import them into my new version?

Bookmarks and history are stored together in your profile folder in a database file named places.sqlite. These articles should help with restoring as much or as little of your other profile as you like:

Need help with Runtime error! Can't find "MediaDatabase" file! Folders are visible!

Hi, I have been searching a lot for an answer to this issue. Elements keeps crashing after about five minuets and giving me "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" "Runtime Error!" "R6025 - pure virtual function call". I am running Premiere Elements 9.0 on windows 8.1 and I am trying to
rebuild the "mediadatabase.db3" file, but cannot find it. I made my hidden folders visible, and followed the pathway, but I only get this. I have searched and searched but I can't find anything about windows 8.1. Only 7 and vista. Thanks in advance!

Look for a line that resembles the following in the
actionscript of the Flash fla files... It is likely to be in the
first frame's code, but may not be.
xmlData.load("teamTSI_en.xml");
the '
xmlData' part of that is not likely to be the same as what's
in your file, it's a variable so it could be anything, and the file
names will be whatever your xml files are.
If you can post that line of code from each of the fla files,
someone may be able to tell you where you need to place the xml
files.

When I try to open CS5, I get an error message that it cannot initialize the preferences file because it has been deleted. How do I fix this?

The last time I used CS5, I changed the scratch disc in the preferences file; now Photoshop will not open saying that the preferences file has been deleted. I didn't delete the file. How do I fix this?

As you open Photoshop, hold Control + Alt + Shift (or Command + Option + Shift on a Mac). That will trigger a preferences reset dialog, Photoshop will go back to default state when you do that.

I can´t initialise photoshop because of this Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encontered. "Could not initialise Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" how can i fix it?

How do I fix this error? "could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid"

How the hell do I fix this error? "could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid"

Try Resetting your Preferences: Hold down Ctrl Alt Shift keys while starting Photoshop. You will see the Reset dialog.

Upgrade to Mountain Lion and can't find the preferences file ?

In OS 10.6.8, whenever I had a delay in playback from the Source to the timeline, I would delete the preferences file.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, this file appears to be hidden. Where is it located ? I also have a custom keyboard file called "custom.kys". I can no longer find this either ?
thanks.

Hello,
Open Your Finder, Hold OPTION and CLICK on "GO" from your top menu in Finder. Select Library.
Go to Application Support > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 6.0. The custom keyboard list will be located there.
To trash your prefs do the following. When launching Premiere Pro hold down Shift+Option. This automatically throws away Premiere’s preferences.
Best,

My photoshop won't open, it says that the preferences file has been deleted. What do I do?

I was just working in my photoshop with no problems, I had just downloaded a free trial pluggin (Filter Forge) but that wasn't working, so I tried to close photoshop to re open it and it wasn't responding so I had to force quit it, and when I went to reopen it this box pops up..... "Could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" I looked up how to fix this and I went under the library on my MAC to try and find the preferences file to move it because they said that would help, well I forgot.....the file has somehow been deleted. My other option that I haven't tried yet is to open photoshop and do the shortcut keys that resets everything but Im nervous to do that because I don't know what will get reset. Any help will be awesome I have several projects Im working on and need to finish!
Thanks

If you have not saved your custom presets for some time you should naturally lose those when opening with cmd-alt-shift pressed and selecting to "delete settings file" – but you can consider this a learning experience.
Apart from the presets you also need to set your Preferences (Interface, Performance, …) again after that if you had in any way changed them from the default settings.

How to write to a log file within a JSP

Hello everybody,
do you know how to write to a log file within a JSP.
my code is (/space/SP/tlf/ExcepcionJava.jsp):
<html>
<body bgColor=#C4E1FF>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
     FileWriter salida = new FileWriter(response.encodeURL("log.txt"));
     salida.write(request.getParameter("errorMsg"));
     salida.close();
%>
</body>
</html>.. I run under Solaris, Jrun 2.3.3
I have also test with getServletContext().getRealPath(), but I get /netsrv/nes/docs/ instead of /space/SP/tlf/

Hi,
Give the full path of the log file to the FileWriter. Such as;
FileWriter salida = new FileWriter(response.encodeURL("/usr/local/tomcat/logs/testlogs/log.txt"));

'the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings' - cs4 Mac

greetings!
every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
"the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
"the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would be a very very time consuming process for me.
i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
thank you

s,
Every time you close down Illy, the current preferences (which may have been changed while you worked on files) are saved, and every time you start up Illy, those preferences will be used.
Usually, preference corruption probably occurs randomly, caused by the OS, but if something in your files change the preferences to something that is not viable you will get an error like that.
You may press Cmd+Option+Shift during startup, which will replace the current preferences with the defaults, and probably you will get rid of the error message. It is probably not a cure, though.
If the error is persistent, the cure would be to get rid of the offending things in the files you work with.

The problem is that you're not getting rid of the corrupt Illustrator preferences. To do that, go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the entire Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder to the trash (or to another drive if you want to keep it for some reason). Illustrator will then create a new Preferences folder the next time it's started. It's unlikely the problem was caused by swatches files, but if the error comes back after deleting prefs, then you'll need to determine which swatch file is causing it.

Where are the preference files held in windows 7 for prempro cs4

can anyone tell me where the preference files are located at in windows 7 for prempro cs4? i don't know about anybody else but i'd really like to have manuals. to me this is a real pain going online to find answers! thanks

Download the pdf version of the manual.
Much easier to find stuff than the online version.

How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
Rune Brattas

You cannot create a Form from code at run time.
For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything. (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
need), but that's another story).
You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application. IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control. If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed

Hello
After a week without using photoshop, I can no longer open it. As soon as I try this message appears: "Unable to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been removed."
So, I went to look for this preferences file that I've never deleted and I can't find it.
I tried to reset photoshop with keyboard shortcuts preferences, it does not work. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the software, it does not work either.
What else could I do ...?
Thank you for your help.

Seems odd that such a problem would crop up on its own. That kind of sounds like a registry or permissions problem. What other things did you do with the computer between the time it worked and it didn't?
And if you're willing to uninstall / reinstall to try to recover operation, it might be prudent to try the Adobe cleaner tool to really be sure you've uninstalled everything...
