Missing profile in Photoshop Elements

Question

Dear all,
Recently, when I open a file (jpeg or psd) with my Photoshop Elements, it always pops up a "Missing Profile" warning box, saying "This file does not have a color profile associated with it, what would you like to do? Leave it as it is (Don't color manager), Assign adobe RGB or Assign sRGB"
How can I fix this problem?
Any help is much appreciated.
Many thanks~

The answer is to assign the profile that the file should have been saved with. 
JPGs and PSDs should have been saved with a color profile and some of what you’ve been working with have not been saved properly, so PSE is asking you when you open them what to use.
If these are your own images taken with a camera then you should know what the profile was set in the camera as well as if you’ve converted from one profile to another in PSE.
If these are images from somewhere else, then maybe the source can tell you what profile they were saved with.  If you have no way of asking or knowing then try each of AdobeRGB and sRGB and see which one looks better.
An image that should be AdobeRGB but is wrongly assigned sRGB will look faded and greenish.  An image that should be sRGB but wrongly assigned AdobeRGB will look oversaturated a little.  The differences may be subtle but one version should look better to you.
If these are your images, then always save them with a color profile so you won’t lose track of it and have to guess in the future.  If these are someone else’s images, then talk to the other person and see if you can get them to assign the proper color profile to them.
