Is Elements 8 NOT compatible with Windows 7???

I have been working with this program all day, with a book at my side making my first album to share. I re-edited one photo and it locked into a "editing in process" and it went down hill from there. Now most things just don't work.  I can't switch back and forth to Organize, edit, albums etc.  It freezes. I've lost count on number of times I've rebooted.  Now it won't even open. I loaded the program early Aug and have just been playing with it; it worked fine on pratice projects.  I'm beginning to think this 8 is not compatible with Windows 7. My book says it will upload fixes. Should I just reload again?  Geez!!!
Probably just answered my own question.............reload!!!!!

I have just bought a new computer - Win7 - very fast - lots of memory, and PSE8 is a real dog compared to my experience with PSE5 on my old computer with XP.  Here are some examples:
clicking the arrow to open tab groups has a big delay - about 4 sec (immediate on PSE5)
<F11> full screen takes 5-10 sec at least (immediate on PSE5)
even applying a star rating in full screen takes 3-5 sec of delay before I can go to the next frame
I have turned off all auto-analyzing options but no real impact to above.
Anyone experiencing the same?   This is very frustrating when earlier version is responsive and newer version is not.

    my computer says that this version of photoshop elements is not compatible with windows 7. What do I do?

    Care to give us some details of exactly what it is that you're trying to do?  Telling us the version of PSE would also help.

  • Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna

    PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.

  • Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

    Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

    I have Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, and it runs well there.
    But, I must disagree with SG when he writes
    It will likely run. But it will not be able to take advantage of Windows 8's advanced architecture (including the 64-bit operating system and ability to access more than 4 gigs of RAM).
    You can prove to yourself that Premiere Elements 10 is a 64 bit application running on Windows 8 64 bit. To do this use the Process Explorer Sysinternals and add a Image Type Column readout. When you do this for Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the readout tells you that you are working with a 64 bit version.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    And, as a 64 bit application, Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 Windows should be able to take full advantage of the 64 bit system when Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    I suspect SG is thinking Mac not Windows in his comment. It is my recollection that Premiere Elements 10 Mac is still a 32 bit application on 64 bit system. And, you are using Windows, not Mac.
    We will watch for his clarification on this point or for support for what he posted as is.

  • Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

    After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

    hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

    Hey kriscro2,
    Thanks for the question. iTunes 11.1.4 is compatible with Windows 8, as outlined on the System Requirements page:

  • Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

    I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
    Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
    with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
    but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
    windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
    or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
    latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
    RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
    fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
    is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
    will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
    is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
    that it should be of high importance that these issues are
    resolved.
    Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
    and Vista?

    Hi cptv8
    I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
    findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
    early adopters.
    You stated:
    Technically vista is not due to domestic market until january
    07, however businesses will be able to purchase vista in only two
    weeks, and as Captivate is generally used for business/training use

    You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
    wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
    visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
    supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
    issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
    Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
    clicking
    here.
    Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
    it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
    tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
    making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
    gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
    aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
    can.
    Sincerely... Rick

  • Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

    When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

    Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
    If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

  • Is Photoshop elements 10 and Premiere elements 10 compatible with windows 8.1?

    Is photoshop elements 10 and premiere elements 10 compatible with windows 8.1?  I am upgrading from XP and am trying to determine if I should go to 8.1 or windows 7?

    Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 are compatible with Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit. I have them installed on those operating systems and no problems. My video card is Intel HD Graphics.
    But, a major question is what video card will be used? There is a major issue with Premiere Elements 10 users whose computers use a NVIDIA GeForce video card. It is fixed by rolling back the driver to about May 2013. This is a user to user fix. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has offered one.

    Make sure you insert the dvd labeled Windows
    Once you insert the dvd, click on the Folder icon (File Explorer) in the Taskbar on the Desktop
    Then you should see the pse 11 dvd listed under Devices and drives
    Right click on the pse 11 dvd icon, click Open and then double click on the AutoPlay.exe
