Installing Photoshop Elements 10

I can't get a stable version of the program to load in a Windows 7 64 bit environment.
1)  It is becoming increasingly apparent that this version doesn't support 64 bit OS and quite obviously the install has not been tested in that environment.  Are there any reference cases of people who have been able to actually get it to work in that environment?
2)  I have the "Costco special editon" which comes with 3 dvd's.  You have to read the fine print to learn that the Windows OS install begins with disk 1 and MAC OS with disk 3.  During the windows installation, it requests the 2nd dvd.  However, the installer won't release the 1st dvd so I can swap them.  Closing the dialog with the continue button takes me to the reboot dialog.  I have no idea if the installation is complete -- an number of clues suggest it is not.  Does anyone know what I might be missing without dvd 2 or 3 loading?
3)  The so-called Inspiration Browser does not work from the splash screen.  Attempting to install it fails as numerous others have noted in this forum.  Adobe has made numerous "guesses" at what to do but none of them seem to work.
4)  I set-up an Adobe ID and naturally that does not work either (I think there is a pattern emerging).  After multiple tries, I've established a user id and password but I must supply my birthday which is none of Adobes dam...d business and an open invitation to identity theft.  I've tried multiple different fake birthdays but nothing enables the "Create" button so the account cannot actually be used. 
So the basic question is this.  Does my license key entitle me to download a newer and presumably more stable version of the software or should I fall back to my version 7?

1.  Did you receive any error messages while trying to install?  Photoshop Elements 10 should work just fine under Windows 7 in a 64-bit environment.  I have installed and launched it on a lab machine here running Windows 7 64-bit.  If you can provide any error messages you receive during the installation process it will help us discover a resolution to your difficulties.
2. The 2nd disc contains the Premiere Elements 10 trial.  There is a check mark during the installation process asking if you want to install the Premiere Elements trial.  If that is checked it will prompt you to insert Disc 2.  Once the Photoshop Elements 10 installation is complete you can then put in the second DVD if you wish to install the trial.
3.  For questions related to the Inspiration Browser I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum.  The users there will be more familiar with utilizing that feature of the software.
4.  Can you try logging in on Photoshop.com?  Once you log in there you should be able to log in successfully within Photoshop Elements.  I believe the birthday is to verify you are of legal age to post pictures online.

  • "Failed to initialize" error message when installing Photoshop Elements 12

    Hi,
    I kepe getting an error message when trying to install Photoshop elements 12. I have re-downloaded the files multiple times from different places and none work so I know it isn't a corrupted file. Tried a system restart. Tried using support advisor but it found no issues.
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.9 on a 2012 Macbook Pro that meets system requirements.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I have gone through the install logs and the error I am getting is 'PIM - Error could not create PIM Common Folder Path'. I have gone to the PDApp folder and it does not have any permissions on it. I have gone to the folder PDApp and it doesn't have any permissions, I'm not sure what to do from here. The PDApp folder is a alias that leads to the Adobe Application Managers folder. Sorry for the font being bold, it wouldn't turn off after pasting the error message.

  • Error message when installing Photoshop Elements 13 : Installer Failed to initialize

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC with Windows 8.1. I can't run the Adobe Support Advisor because it is no longer available. Can a Adobe expert get in touch? Forums are sometimes not adequate to find solutions.

    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and delete/rename the OOBE folder from there.
    Then install Adobe application manager from the below link:

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

  • How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

    Thanks

    Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

  • Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it

    Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

    Googled for an instruction sheet.  Got the following.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html
    and
    https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
    (Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
    In any case it doesn't matter.  I returned it to the store where I bought it.
    Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
    User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help.  But!  They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).

Thanks Martin

    A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen).  If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well.  I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question.  Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.
