Odd screen appearance on opening PS elements 2 (screenshot)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/wfhguy/PSElements2ScreenShot.jpghttp://
Lately I've been having this problem when I use Photoshop. It's an old  version (PS Elements 2). Often, but not always, when I open up the  program, part of the previous screen view does not disappear. I thought  it might be a cache problem, but it still does it after I clear the  cache. I also increased the Available RAM in  Edit>Preferences>Memory Usage to 80%, but that didn't help.
Any ideas on how I can fix this, or is it just because the software is so old and they are not supplying updates any more?

What web browser is that?
If you drag out the Hints and How To from the pallete well, close them and restart pse 2 with the web browser running, does that make any difference?

    If you go into the applications folder, can you open Adobe Elements 13 Organizer, or the editor directly? The editor is well-hidden. It's inside the support files folder in the Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 folder:

    I have reinstalled reader software but get the same message.

    Hey -
    Thanks for taking the trouble to respond - appreciated. I did post the details you requested and sent you IM about that. Anyway, the problem
    appears to have fixed itself as soon as I opened Acrobat9 Pro it
    reconfigured itself and everything is working again!

  • I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    what is wrong?

    There are other things that need attention:

  • Cannot open network preferences, security, or downloads; blue screen appears

    I have recently discovered that I cannot open my network preferences, security, or downloads folder. I do not know what else I am unable to open. For these three, I click upon them and instantly a blue screen appears, quickly followed by my desktop with all programs (except Finder) shut down, as if I was just logging on. The MacBook Pro is not yet a year old. I have recently downloaded the Amazon Cloud and was wondering if this could be causing the spastic behavior. My boyfriend seems to think that it is a corrupt file. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thank you.

  • Screen appearance of Elements Organizer 9

    I have just upgraded from Elements 8 to Elements 9.
    In Elements 8 there was a Preferences option to change the screen appearance of the Organizer interface, essentially to darken the area surrounding the thumbnails rather than having a middle-grey background.  I can't find that option anywhere in Elements 9.  Why not, or where is it?  And if that option has been taken away, I'd like it put back in the next upgrade or version.  Every other software I own lets me tailor the "skin" of the software to my own preferences, why does Adobe feel its latest software should deprive users of even that minimal level of customization of the interface?
    BTW I find the thingy at the top of the screen, which you click on to reveal the Organizer Menu drop-down, is nearly invisible in the default appearance of Elements 9.  This is a horrible design decision by someone at Adobe, IMO -- with Elements 8, at least the drop-down thingy you clicked on to reveal the menu was WHITE, not the same shade of dark grey that the surrounding area is (rendering it nearly impossible to locate in Elements 9).  Why on earth did you did this in version 9 when it wasn't like that in 8, Adobe, and please fix it.  This is ridiculous.  (One of the reasons I want to change the screen appearance in 9, if that's possible, is in hopes of making that thingy easier to find.)  It wasn't broken in version 8, so why "fix" it in version 9?
    Moreover, why can't we simply have the option of always having visible the File, Edit, Find, etc menus at the top of the screen so one doesn't have to click on that thingy every time you need a menu?  I know Microsoft made the decision to hide all the Windows menus unless you know to press the Alt key, in Windows 7, but at least they give you the option of leaving the menus where they always were in previous versions.  Maybe some people think those menus are "screen clutter," but a lot of us users don't and have got used to them over the years, and no one asked us about whether we thought it was clutter and wanted it to be hidden.  If it isn't possible to keep those menus always visible in the Organizer (and Photoshop Elements Edit) interface, then how about giving us that option in the next upgrade or version, please?  If it is possible to do this now, I can't find anywhere in the software for that choice, please let me know where it is.
    Thanks.

    I'm not arguing that it's not annoying--I'm not a fan of the organizer in any way, shape, or form, myself. The link works fine for me, but here's the text. It was done for earlier versions of PSE but still pertains:
    Setting the Windows text size too large
    [PSE 6, 7, 8]
    This FAQ is not being maintained and may be out-of-date
    If you set your Windows display to have a text size larger than 100%, PSE will exhibit some glitches in its user interface.  (On XP and Vista, the text size is called “DPI” – dots per inch – and 96 DPI is equivalent to 100% in Windows 7.)  Many newer, high-resolution displays and laptop screens are set to a larger text size to make text in applications more readable.
    The glitches and workarounds include:
    -          The Organizer’s menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) won’t show up. You can either set the Windows text size back to 100% (96 DPI), or you can set the Organizer option Edit > Preferences > General > Use System Font.  With the latter, the results aren’t always the prettiest, e.g. the font in the Editor’s menu bar stays small, but the font in the dropdown menus gets large. But this workaround at least lets you keep the text size large so that you can read the text in all your other applications.
    -          The Advanced Dialog in the Photo Downloader won’t be available in PSE 8.  (That also occurs on short displays.) You’ll need to reduce the Windows text size to something less – how much depends on the resolution of your display.
    -          The Editor on Windows 7 can show a mouse cursor for some tools that looks like three distorted shadows of the true cursor.  You’ll need to reduce the Windows text size to less than 150% (149% works fine).
    To change the Windows text size/DPI of your display:
    XP: Start > Control Panel > Display or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display.   Click Settings > Advanced.
    Vista: Windows Start > Control Panel > Personalization > Adjust Font Size (DPI).
    Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Display. To choose a custom size, click Set Custom Text Size (DPI) on the left.
    Microsoft user-interface standards require applications to support text sizes larger than100%.  This is especially important with the newer, high-resolution displays and for people with aging eyes.  Adobe has chosen not to follow the standard.

  • When I try to open I Movie the screen appears with the message creating thumbnails and all my projects have disappeared. Then everything freezes and I have to force close my Macbook Pro

    When I try to open I Movie thes screen appears with the message "creating thumbnails" and then freezes. None of my events or projects appear in the libraries. I cannot close I Movie or my computer and have to force shut down my Macbook. This is a sudden occurence.

    You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and it strews stuff all over your hard drive in places the migration assistant is not programmed to look. Now you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    after which you can go around and manually remove all the bits from Applications, the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help with this; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files.
    Then you can reinstall from scratch. Let us know if you need help finding the library folders.

  • "Open Firmware" screen appeared on startup

    Has anyone experienced this? I turned on my G5 (recently upgraded to Leopard) and instead of going straight to the login screen, the Open Firmware screen appeared. I know it can be forced to appear, but it just appeared on its own. Could this be a sign of failing circuitry? Thanks for your help.

    Hi-
    Not failing circuitry. A weak PRAM battery, yes, or simply the NVRAM/PRAM needs reset.

    Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
    All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
    They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
    Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
    So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
    Need help, confirmed.

    You can try to reset your device

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    If that doesn't work, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete the account, exit out, go back in and re-enter your information. For some reason during iOS updates it's common for mail settings to get messed up. Starting over is the easiest way to rectify the situation.

  • Odd Screen Rendering Issue

    Hello,
    My iMac is displaying an odd screen rendering error that I so far have not been able to resolve. There is a black line that runs over 2" along the bottom right corner of the display. It does not appear when on the grey Mac boot screen, but shows up after log in. I tried to take a screenshot using CMD+OPTION+4 and the line does not show up. If you look closely at the picture attached you will see that the mouse cursor renders over the line.
    I have all the latest updates installed. This iMac is also out of the AppleCare Warranty period.
    Any recommendations on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated. I work in IT, so don't hold back on the technicalities.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    As others have said, this feature is called "screen zoom". Hold down the control key and scroll up or down on your mouse to zoom in or out. Right now you are zoomed in. This also works on the trackpad.
    If you don't want that feature enabled you can go to system preferences>mouse and uncheck "screen zoom" there.
