Installing Photoshop Elements 8 Changes All Program Icons to PSE Logo

I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 Home Premium. I deactivated and uninstalled PSE 8 because it wasn't recognizing my camera(s) when connected to my PC. When I reinstalled Photoshop Elements 8, all of my program icons chnages to the PSE icon and all were rendered unusable. When I click on any program icon on the desktop or from the start menu PSE 8 opens. I deactivated and uninstalled Photoshop Elements 8 and all of the program icons and functionality returned. I tried reinstalling and the exact same thing happened. I had to deactivate and uninstall again since I can't figure out how to fix this.
I paid $89 for Photoshope Elements 8 and don't want to buy something else to edit photos. I also don't want to have to reformat my hard drive to try to make this work correctly. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Please try uninstalling PSE 8 using Adobe Clean Script which can be found at this link http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html. After successful uninstallation, reinstall again.
Also do not associate any of your file with PSE when you choose Open with for any file. Let me know your comments.
Thanks,
Gaurav Jain

Installing photoshop elements associated/changed all files on computer to photoshop elements files

I purchased Photoshop Elements for my mother while home during Thanksgiving. When I installed it on her computer, it changed all the files on her computer to photoshop Elements files, or rather, it associated all files to photoshop elements. I am sure this is an operating system issue. Can someone tell me why this is happening and give me a cure? She uses Windows 7. It is a 64 bit machine if that is important.
Thank you for any advice.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Please try the steps mentioned in the below link and check.

Installed Photoshop Elements 13. Opened program. FYI, I work w/3 screens. Appears in center screen, too wide and cannot minimize it. Line across top reads eLive, Quick, Guided, Expert. Only eLive works. Gray screen on rest.

I have installed Elements 13. The screen stretches too wide on the screen and I can't see the edges at all to minimize or exit. Across the top I read eLive, Quick, Guided and Expert. Only eLive comes up with anything at all. If I click on the others, I just get a gray screen. I am running Windows 8.1 x64. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

Hi Kimberly,
Please follow these steps:
Try to rename SLCacje to Slcache.old

and
SLStore to Slstore.old
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
and Right Click on the Photoshop Elements 12 icon and run as administrator
Let me know if this works.

Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:

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.

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

Due to Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer I uninstalled the program. When I re-installed Photoshop Elements 12 on the same computer the "Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe" file is not available. I have tried loading Photoshop Elements 12 from the Adobe web site without success.

The Elements 12 shortcut can't find the Elements12.0.exe file so the program will not load. I can load the editor from its .exe file but not the organizer.

I recently changed computers and would like to re-install Photoshop Elements 10, which I have previously purchased. where would I find that download?

My guess is that you won't be able to do much if you threw away the serial number before using it. The serial number will not have been externally visible on the box though... doing that would make it available for use by anyone who sees the box in any store.
To locate the serial number:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
If you remain unable to locate the serial number you might need to head back to wherever you purchased the product to confirm whether or not you might have thrown out the serial number or if it could even possibly have never been provided.
Beyond that you need to resolve serial number issues with ASdobe Support directly. Here is a link for chat:
