'Program not working' - panorama

When I attempt to create a panorama using Photoshop Elements 9 on my recently purchased Windows 8.1 pc I get a message saying 'Program not Working' and I have to close the editor. This function was ok on my old Windows XP pc. Can anyone help?

First, quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do. Note that if you have set the welcome screen to automatically open the editor, it won't work from that shortcut. Use the actual .exe/application file or the buttons in the organizer or on the welcome screen.

My adobe is not working with Windows 7 it says "program not working"

My adobe does not worked with I have tried 9 & 10 both versions. It does not seem to work with Windows 7.

Adobe Reader X works very well on Windows 7.
Please give us the exact error message you're getting; "program not working" is not a message that Windows or Adobe Reader would issue.

Microsoft Mail not working with Windows 7 & MS-Office 2010

Dear All
I have a client who is using Microsoft Mail for their internal mailing. They have been using MSoffice ( Outlook) for this purpose for last so many years.
We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
When we tried with different versions, we found that if you install Office 2007 it works. If you try Office 2007 and then Office 2010 and remove Office 2007, it still work. But Then it is treated as 2 installations of Msoffice on the same computer.
I need to know whether this is right from Licensing perspective. We 'll be using single copy of office but it may seems as we have installed Office 2007 & office 2010 on same computer.
--Shekhar

We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
Windows 7 is a supported operation system for Office 2010. At what exactly point will you get the specific error?
Is that a Click-To-Run version of Office 2010? By default, for MSI-based version of Office, when you upgrade existing Office 2007 to Office 2010, the earlier version of Office will be removed:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/keep-earlier-versions-of-office-programs-when-installing-office-2010-HA102597134.aspx
For licensing advice, as <Don> suggested above, you should contact your local Microsoft customer support or reseller.

It's recommended to download and install

IMovie and Microsoft Office NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!

Just recently, out of nowhere, my iMovie and Microsoft Office stopped working; they won't turn on. I have Leopard 10.5, and they had been working on it since recently. Whenever I start iMovie, the "This program has quit unexpectedly" window comes up. Here's what I did. Firstly, I reported the problem to Apple and tried relaunching the program. That didn't work. Then, I deleted anything I had downloaded recently that may have affected it. Nothing. Next, I tried going into Library>Preferences and deleting all files with "iMovie" in the name. Nada. I then opened up disk utility and repaired disk permissions; yup, you guessed it, it didn't work. Finally, I archived and reinstalled Leopard, but it's still not working.
As for Microsoft Office, I have only reported the problem and deleted recent downloads. I haven't tried anything else (excluding the Leopard thing) to fix Office.
Please help ASAP! I need both of these applications for an upcoming project... and I may have to see a Mac Genius after this...
This is my last hope!
Thank you so much!
My AIM is tas121694 and email is [email protected]
Thanks again,
Todd

Well, that tells us that it's most likely something in your user account and not with iMovie or Office in general. If you need to get your videos edited right away and don't have time for troubleshooting, you can transfer them to the other account by copying them into the Users -> Shared folder. That would allow you to have access to them from the working account.
As to fixing the problem, you might try asking in the iMovie forum. It's possible that you have a corrupted project that iMovie keeps trying to open by default and that deleting that project might fix the problem. I'm not an iMovie user, though, so I'm not sure. Asking in the iMovie forum will probably get you more informed suggestions.
As to Office, what version is it, and do none of the applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage) launch, or is it just some and if so which one(s)?

Windows 8.1 some programs not working.

Some of my programs will not work. It all started with Google Chrome, then Skype, and now I cannot even access my control panel or file explorer. My task bar shows the programs running, but they will not display on the screen. I have tried stuff like SFC
/SCANNOW on the CMD, rebuild icon cache, and CCleaner, but still cannot find a solution. Please help!

You will not lose your personal files, as described here in this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/what-types-of-files-does-system-restore-change
However, you will need to re-install software. If you have software that costs money, you were provided the license for the software and thus can re-install the software. If it was a 1-time activation software (Really rare) than you should contact the software
publisher first.
However, 99% of purchased software allows you to reinstall. Since it has only been 2 weeks, you likely have not installed much software. However, if you installed allot of software... than I would uninstall software 1 by 1 to remove it.
Your malware software did not detect the malware because it might not be malware but instead it could be software you installed causing this issue. What software did you install 2-3 weeks ago?

Mail program not working since upgrading to Leopard 10.5.6

We have loaded the new Leopard system now twice, and both times the Mail program fails to launch from the taskbar, but stays open in the background. The program will not close, and fails to open to even try to check email. It seems other programs are working just fine, but nothing right with Mail. Anyone know if there is a fix to this?
Thanks,
lldowney

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
While the other poster's cited article references certain issues with 10.5.6, they are when updating a system that was already on Leopard. If, as it appears, you were Upgrading an earlier version of OSX, such as 10.4.11, then the relevant article is:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
Where an even earlier OSX than Tiger once generated the Mail folder, two other MessageSorting files will need to be removed, also.

Java program not working using newer version of scheduler (AutoSys)

A little background: I'm in the middle of trying to upgrade our AutoSys server (scheduler) to the latest version (version R4 to R11) and have to do regression testing to ensure our jobs will work in the new version. There's a small java program that is not working supposedly due to the following error:
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/f1j/swing/common/JDKAdapter
at com.f1j.swing.common.Adapter.<clinit>(Adapter.java:86)
at com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook.<init>(JBook.java:3032)
at com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook.<init>(JBook.java:3096)
at com.test.Foo.performScan(Foo.java:122)
So in the old version (R4), it runs fine. In R11, I get the exception above. The CLASSPATH matches and I've verified that by echoing it in the shell script that calls the java program. Here's how it's called in the shell script.
echo $CLASSPATH
${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java com.test.Foo
So the Foo class was written by me, which makes use of this external library called f1j11swing.jar (for spreadsheet creation).
The source of the error is from this line in Foo (line 122):
book = new com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook();
The funny part is JDKAdapter (the missing class) is in the same jar file as JBook, so it definitely finds the library in the classpath. But for some reason, this new AutoSys version is spitting out this error. I've exhausted many approaches to resolving this, but I'm still stuck.
Here's the layout of how things are called (should be same for R4 and R11):
1. AutoSys server logs into client machine XYZ as user arnold
2. arnold (AutoSys client) on XYZ executes shell script to call java program
The only significant difference I see is that the AutoSys server in R4 is HP while the R11 server is Sun. However, it shouldn't matter because the client server they're logging into to execute the script is the same linux server.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've already started dialogue with the vendor and it seems kind of in limbo at the moment. Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Hi DrClap,
I just checked jre/lib/ext of my $JAVA_HOME and verified that there doesn't exist any library with a class named "Adapter." We don't put anything in this directory other than what came with the original installation. I've tried isolating the jars before as well, by doing something like (to no avail):
java -cp /users/test/lib/f1j11swing.jar:/users/test/lib/Foo.jar com.test.Foo
If I remove the f1jswing11.jar path in the above command, it will complain about other things. Also, for fun, I tried dropping f1j11swing.jar into the ext folder and removing it from the CLASSPATH and it yielded the original error. Running it directly from the shell and old version of autosys works fine.
I hope I understood your suggestion correctly and please let me know if you have any other ideas. I'm surprised why java would act differently with a different version of an AutoSys client logging into the same machine and environment. Thanks.
xiarce - I haven't heard anything regarding this, but I'll bring it up. Thanks.

Dock not working; command-tab switch between programs not working

The Dock does not work. I have restarted (although the computer will not restart under "Restart", getting stuck at the last part, and needs to be restarted manually). When I change Dock preferences it reverts back to default settings. If I am lucky, the dock will appear and then disappear (poof) without having functioned.
The command tab function for switching between programs stopped working also.
The individual programs work, but I have to go to recent items to switch programs.
Further, I have two Previews open (with different documents in each) even though I have only one Preview program.
A whole lot of bizarre things that may be connected? I would appreciate any help.

You could try removing the .plist file again, but this time, try also removing the com.apple.dock.db file. Then log out and log in again.
Also, it seems as if many people are having similar problems. See [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9126119].
So, does the problem persist with another user account?
If it were my machine, the next thing I'd try is downloading the combo updater from Apple's website and reinstalling it. 10.5.6 is available [here|http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10-5-6_ComboUpdate].

Customized keyboard shortcuts for microsoft Word not working

Hi,
My Macbook Pro retina 15' with an updated Yosemite iOS 10.10.1 has an american keyboard. I am trying to create keyboard shortcuts for brazilian accent marks to use in Microsoft Word. I went to "system preferences", "keyboard", "shortcuts", "App Shortcuts", added Microsoft Word and, for the brazilian accent mark " ˜ ", which in the original keyboard is obtained with "option+n", I set the shortcut "option+left arrow".
It just does not work. I created other shortcuts for other brazilian accent marks with the other arrows + control but none of them worked.
Can anyone tell me what went wrong?
Thanks!

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

Adobe and Microsoft Word not working with upgrade 10.10 Yosemite

I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10. Now my Mac Microsoft Word 2011 and Adobe keep closing and will not work properly. I feel like my computer is slower. It definitely takes way longer to start up. Any suggestions? My computer is still under warranty, but it is hard to find time to take it in. I only upgraded my laptop and not my desktop yet. This laptop is a Macbook Pro (15-Inch, Late 2011), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 16 BG 1067 MHz DDR3, HD: 119.99 GB free of 498.88 GB. I know I need more HD space. I emptied trash and took off apps I do not use. I'm not sure what to buy for my Mac that is compatible to increase speed and HD space, but it is slower after the upgrade. I use a Lacy External HD for time machine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Francine, thank you for answering the very simple question I had about whether or not Photoshop Elements 6 was compatible with 10.5.5. I spent hours on the phone today with Adobe, being transferred around and trying to get a straight answer. I never got one from Adobe. The same thing happened when I called Apple. I realize that Apple is not the manufacturer, but hoped they might have an answer because they sell the software and should know if it works with their current OS. Since the system requirements on Adobe's and Apple's websites still say it only works with systems up to 10.5.2, sales and technical support people just read that back. I can read the same specs too, but I realize that 10.5.5 is new and that it is possible that they just may not have updated the info on the web or in their scripts to reflect this. Apparently, actual users like you and several others are saying it works fine with no issues. It's really nice to know how easy it is to find answers here when you can't get the help or answers you need from the manufacturer. It seems like all they do is read a script, and even supervisors just don't want to be bothered. They should realize that 10.5.5 is the current OS since mid-September, and if they don't provide accurate info then people won't know whether or not to purchase the software. I was hesitant because I didn't want to waste the money to find out if it would or would not work. But now that I see others are using PSE 6 without a problem in 10.5.5, I have the answers I need and I feel more confident about buying the software.

Programs not working

So, I just got back from my college's spring break and updated my computer over the break with the latest software update and since then, numerous programs, to include skype, pages, numbers are not working at all and even system preferences freezes up. I've re-installed skype and restarted my computer several times to no avail. I'd prefer to not reinstall the OS (seeing as it's more than just iWork that's not working) or anything else since I have been unable to backup my files in a very long time. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The updates may just be a coincidence. Back up your hard drive and prepare for a possible hard drive failure. Boot to the Lion recovery disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.
