How to deactivate PSE 8 when Editor keeps crashing?

The Editor suddenly started crashing. I am attempting to deactivate PSE8 before uninstalling and reinstalling it  I inderstand from previous threads in this forum that deactivation is done through the Editor Help. Since I can't reach the Editor, what do I do?

Good Day Barbara
Thanks again for commenting on my problem. Troubles with computers is truly
a problem for us old guys. Searching the internet hasn't provided definitive
information. The most straightforward advise was yours. One site said that
even uninstalling PSE8 wasn't all that straight forward because numerous
files could (would) be left behind that could (would) create problems in the
reloaded program. All this leaves me uncertain what to do next. Consequently
I have elected to contact Adobe Support first, if that's possible, to get
further instructions. I contacted Adobe on the internet and "spoke" with a
chap who eventually said to call the 800 support number. I'll try doing that
tomorrow. Worse comes to worse I'll go ahead and uninstall and reinstall and
take my chances with what happens. Losing the tagging would be a major
setback however. On the positive side, this problem is minor compared to
what life can throw at us. Will let you know what transpires. Have a great
day.

  • How do I export when FCP keeps crashing for large QuickTime exports?

    Forum,
    I have a 108-minute finished Final Cut Pro project. Ultimately, I'd like to burn it on a DVD so that it can be watched by any Joe-Schmoe using an ordinary DVD player. I'll be using DVD Studio Pro to do the burning. And before this, I plan to compress using Apple Compressor.
    But...
    I can't export this file to QuickTime! FCP keeps CRASHING about halfway through the process. I'm preserving the Current Settings, which, by the way, are XDCAM EX 1080p24 VBR.
    I have four internal hard drives used as follows:
    D1 OSX and FCP
    D2 audio media
    D3 visual media
    D4 location of FCP files and scratch disk
    I also have a MyBook USB2.0 external drive available should this be of use.
    Any suggestions for a viable workflow here? Should I be exporting to QuickTime first? Is my configuration doomed? Should I export straight to Compressor?
    thanks,
    Shanked

    Is there a way to do this WITHOUT your suggested software?
    Sure, but its very manual and the Corrupt Clip Finder really just automates that for you ... but I get your point about keeping things clean and can't fault that philosophy.
    First, you can use the Tools > Render Manager to delete all the sequence's render files and references. Then just play through the entire sequence (in the sequence RT menu you can enable the option to Play Base Layer Only). If the corruption was in one of the render files then you should now be able to play through without issue. If the corruption is in one of the clips then you should discover that FCP will crash or throw up an error when it tries to play though that clip ... keep a note of where this error occurs as thats your corrupt clip. Similarly, after trashing renders you can re-render, keep an eye on the render progress ... the error will be thrown proportionate to the area of the timeline where the corrupt source clip is contained. Additionally, yes, you can use the Reconnect Media function to selectively reconnect your source media to your masterclips, clip by clip ... the one that won't reconnect is going to be the problem child. That's the one you need to recapture/reimport from source.
    Hope it helps

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether organiser or editor crashes ?
    If its organiser then there is something related to Catalog.
    Try these steps :
    1. Goto this location : C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\  -- (program data is hidden folder by default , you will need to unhide it)
    2. Under this location you will find all the catalogs that were created by you
    3. Choose your default catalog.
    4. In that select and delete all the folders except Breezedata and file with extension .pse8db
    5. Relauch your organiser and then check if its stil crashing.
    Thanks,
    Baljeet

  • How to deactivate PSE 13

    I am trying to deactivate PSE 13 from my current PC so that I can add it to my new PC, but when I go to the uninstall, there is no option to deactivate, I have searched all the "help" tabs and have done several "searches" but nothing is helping. (my purchase only allows two downloads, which one is on my lap top, so I will need to deactivate it from one PC so that I can download it to my new PC).

    open pse 13 editor>click help>click deactivate.

  • Pse 12 organizer keeps crashing

    Pse organizer keeps crashing. I'm on a Mac OS X Mavericks.

    First repair and optimize your catalog. If you upgraded to mavericks after installing PSE it's absolutely critical to delete the old preferences before trying to run the program, and to repair permissions after doing that.
    If none of those make a difference, it could be the auto analyzer that is at fault. Try step 4 here:

  • PSE 8.0 editor keeps crashing

    Ok so I will try to describe in detail what happened and I am praying someone knows how to fix this problem!  I had installed about 100 layer styles (not today up until this point) well when I go to use styles I hated how long it took to load, so I decided that I was going to delete some of them I don't use very often. So I went into C:-program data-adobe-photoshop elements-8.0-photocreations-layer styles, and in there I deleted some of the layer styles I had installed to help free it up a bit. I then went into PSE and got a bunch of error messages that certain files couldn't be found, and thought...oh no I forgot to rebuild...so I went beack to c:-program data-adobe-photoshop elements-8.0 and there I deleted the file ThumbDatabase.db3. I then went back into PSE and it gave me the box that said it was rebuilding and the green bar was going and all seemed well, and then it crashed.  I tried to open it again and it crashed again right away, I got a box that popped up that said adobe has detected that PSE has quit working and asked if I wanted to send an error report.  So then I went into my recycling bin and restored the ThumbDatabase.db3 file and tried to open it again..no luck.  I uninstalled my program and reinstalled it, still crashing.
    Can anyone help me????
    Thank you so much!

    Good morning Barbara B.
    I opened Program files instead of Program data. Program data showed the mediaData.db3 file . I cancelled it as you suggested and the Edit mode now opens correctly. Thank you very much for your help.
    I don't know why this file prevented the Edit mode from functioning and if it was there all the time, why it's removal makes the software work properly. Anyway, it works and again thank you

  • How can I get InDesign CS6 to work when it keeps crashing in Windows 8.1?

    Hello,
    I keep having a problem where InDesign CS6 shuts down unexpectedly, only after I've kept it open for a brief while.
    The error message is:
    "Adobe InDesign CS6 has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    close program."
    Has anyone out there encountered this?
    Any idea on how to fix it? I was prompted by Adobe Update Manager to have updates installed recently.  Photoshop CS6 seems to be working ok (I have Creative Suite Standard CS6)
    Thank you.

    What are you doing when the program shuts down? Is CS6 patched to 8.0.2?
    Have you tried setting the compatibility mode to Windows 7 or Windows XP?
    Do you have any non-adobe plugins installed, like a font activation plugin?
    Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

  • How do you start Safari when it keeps crashing

    Safari will not load, it keeps on crashing. Do you have to delete or update Safari

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • How to edit pdfs when you keep getting error message (14)

    How to edit pdfs - I have a pdf I created to make a certificate - I am naturally trying to edit that for another person - ALL of these keep giving me the same message - error reading this (14).  Even when I DO manage to get one to open and let me edit it, then saving it doesn't work, and sharing it gives me a BLANK one, despite having just filled it all in.  I am ready to chuck adobe out the door.  It's taken hours off my day (and Life.)  Help?

    Thank you for trying to help.  I got a graphics whiz to look at the certificate I'd made; he told me to just use the arrow point icon at the top to access and change the name field space and the date field space.  Seemed easy, was grateful.  Of course I tried it, only to find when I tried to save it or share it via email, which is in fact the point of this whole silly program and file, for me, it saves as either blank fields (that I just filled in) or as some layered blank of the certificate itself.  I could jump out the window.  This is the simplest stupidest task I could ask a program to do - change text - and this is somehow like asking Nasa to go to Pluto.  Please for God's sake someone tell me what to do with this to make rudimentary changes in a pdf. 

  • PSe 12, Editor always crashes??

    Hi!
    I bought PSe 12 within 6 months.
    I first tried to install it on my labtop who runs Vista Sp2. Every time the installation process seems normal (I enter my serial number, et in the end Im told that installation succeeded)
    But when I try to open Editor, a window apears with no error message, just "quit".
    Organiser opens normally...
    For a complete information I temporarly could install PSe12 on my pro labtop (who runs win.xp sp3(!!)) and everything is all right!
    Why can't It normally runs at all on Vista?
    What have I to do?
    Please HEEEEEEELP!!!
    Thank you for answering
    TB

    Try this:
    1) Close PSE12 completely
    2) Launch your Windows Explorer/File Manager
    3) Go to: <C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0\Editor>
    Username == Your Windows profile name  such as: maelleyannis or whatever.
    4) find a file called " Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Prefs.psp "   and rename it to: "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Prefs.old "
    5) Launch your PSE12 and see if it works now.
    Good luck and please post back.

  • CCX Editor keeps crashing on UCCX 7

    Hi,
    I have 2 node UCCX 7.0(1)SR03_Build011 just recently the CCX Editor started to crash every time you click on the variable/parameter.
    This happens for exisitng scripts and new scripts. It happens from any PC that has Editor installed and when you use the locally installed version on the servers.
    Has anyone seen this before? Or could point me in some direction I can't really see anything in the logs.

    Try changing the Compatibility properties of the CRS Editor icon.  Assuming that you're running Editor locally on your PC; first be sure the editor is closed>right-click the CRS Editor icon>select Compatibility tab>check the Run this program...checkbox and choose Windows 2000 drop-box>click apply.  Launch Editor again and try modify a variable/parameter again to test if you get the same issue.

  • How do you download when you keep getting error 7 messages?

    how do you download/upgrade itunes ? I have tried downloading from the web page and automatically download off computer. I keep getting error 7 messages.
    What can be done?

    So, the article suggests this -
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Did you go to the next security software link, update the time and check the ports?
    An easy quick fix you can try without running throuh the security software article, is try restoring from another computer or uninstall the security software on your computer.
