Lightroom doesn't recognize PS Elements 6?????

Question

I have been using Lightroom 1.3.1 and PS Elements 4 with good compatibility. Now upgraded to PS Elements 6 and Lightroom doesn't recognize the program when I try to go from Lightroom to PSE6. The drop-down menu under "photo" in the Develop module has the command "edit in Photoshop" grey and not functioning.
I know that there is a fix mentioned to add photoshop itself but I need to add photoshop Elements. Any suggestions?
Thanks

OK, 1 more time, still wrapped wrong. Have a look at the URL to get the info needed, or uninstall/re-install as siuggested in <br />another post.<br /><br />-----<br />Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br /><br />[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe]<br />@="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop Elements 6.0\\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"<br />"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Photoshop Elements 6.0\\"<br />-----<br /><br /><[email protected]> schreef in bericht news:[email protected]...<br />>I see the editor wrapped at 76 chars.
