On Elements 12, if I reinstall, will my original catalogs remain?

After automatically applying a Windows 8.1 patch, my system wouldn't boot.  As part of the recovery, I had windows uninstall my apps including Elements 12.  Now the Setup won't work.    One option I am considering is downloading the PSE 12 bits and re-installing.   My photos are on a separate NAS device.  However, I don't know where the catalogs where kept.  Hopefully, i still have them.  
Did the uninstall process wipe out my catalogs?  (gulp ... 60,000 photos)
If I re-install PSE 12, will my original catalogs be preserved?  

Unfortunately, yes, re-installing wiped out my catalogs.   They were installed on the C drive.
Earlier, I attempt to put my catalog on my NAS drive, but PSE 12 would not allow it.

    re installing will not effect your catalog. Hence your photos will not be deleted.

  • PS Elements 3.0 can not reinstall/repair with original cd. how can i fix this?

    i am trying to repair Photoshop Elements 3.0 by reinstalling it. The computer is launching the home page off of the CD and allowed me to install Adobe Reader 6.0.  When I tried to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 from the same home page I get the pop up box: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 3.0 INSTALLER INFOR... Please insert the disk: 1  OK / CANCEL.  the disk is already in the drive so i click OK and i can hear it running but then i get the same pop up box asking to insert the disk. i have opened the drive and closed the drive but that didnt help. i have opened the files and tried to manually run the setup.exe but i still get the pop up box asking to insert the disk. How can I reinstall/repair my PS Elements 3.0 without the disk? ( I also updated to 3.0.1 and this didnt help)

    if the disk wasnt reading for a repair/reinstall will it read for a regular install?
    if i uninstall and reinstall will i loose all of my tags?

  • If I uninstall itunes to reinstall, will I loose all my lists?

    If I uninstall itunes to reinstall, will I loose all my lists?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling will normally not affect the content and settings already in your iTunes.
    That said, it's wise to make a backup of any content that you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, as well as backing up your playlists if you have extensive ones, before you reinstall, just in case something would happen to go wrong.

  • Firefox will NOT start, deleting and reinstalling will start as last step but once Firefox is closed it will NOT restart.

    Both browsers (Firefox 21 & IE) installed on my 64-bit Widows XP desktop refuse to start either from clicking the desktop icon, the start bar menu, or the executables themselves. What does happen is that all icons disappear from the screen for some 15-30 seconds, then the icons are returned to the screen, and the last informative message displayed from the system tray at start up is repeated.
    Deleting Firefox and reinstalling will start the browser as the last step, but when the new copy is closed it will not start. Also just rerunning the installation download without deleting Firefox will "Upgrade" and start as a last step but when the new copy is closed it can not be restarted. Running restore on the new copy has on apparent effect on the ultimate inability to restart after closing.
    I only tried the IE browser after being unable to start Firefox (its ordinarily only used by the MS update procedure) and have not investigated either reinstalling or repairing it.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • Premiere Elements 12 Project Assets panel will not drop. Reloaded software and problem persists.

    My project assets panel went kaflooey. I've seen this question raised in other Premiere 12 forums, but never fixed. I removed and reloaded the software and the problem persists.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running? I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for now.
    First try...deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which
    the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can
    see the complete path cited.
    If no success with the above, then...
    With video or still in Documents and Premiere Elements opened to the Expert workspace, right click the computer taskbar and select Cascade Windows.
    Then drag video or still from Documents into the Premiere Elements Expert workspace Timeline.
    Does Project Assets pop open?
    Please review and consider, and then we will decide what next based on the details in your reply.
    Thank you.

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Your library should be safe, but you ought to back it up anyway.

  • TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    Hi, so did I.  It seems to be a huge problem with everyone.  I opened a folder on desktop and called it target.  I copied all my songs into that folder.
    I uninstalled Itunes completely.  Rebooted.  Then I installed a fresh install.
    I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked.  I hope that helps. 
    I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
    Good luck,

    Premiere Elements 12 is no longer the current version of Premiere Elements. Premiere Elements 13 is. Probably Premiere Elements 12 is still in stock
    at online vendors. Whether these online vendors accept "vouchers" is questionable.
    You need to go by whatever the voucher says. It may be very specific for version 12 and be outdated at that. Is there an expiration date on the voucher.
    Is there an installation disc included with the camera? If so, does it give a redemption code or serial number that you are supposed to use to install the
    program?
    This is not Adobe. Rather a user to user forum.
    My first impression is that you may have an outdated voucher. And, the details of that voucher need to be read carefully.
    Please supply more information unless you opt to contact the seller of the camera for more details, especially if this "voucher" was a sales
    incentive for the selling of the camera.

  • Firefox crashes within a minute everytime I open it. If I reinstall will I lose my bookmarks?

    For the past three days, Firfox crashes within a minute to five minutes everytime I open it. However, when I open "organize bookmarks," It crashes immediately. I just want to find a way to save all my bookmarks. But I cannot even get Firefox to stay open long enough for this. If I delete my current version and reinstall, will I lose my bookmarks. also what do you suggest I do. I love Firefox and am really upset that I may no longer be able to use it.
    Thanks, RJS

    Does anyone think this is a problem with the newest update of Firefox? I never had this problem before.

    What is your "Elements 2" - Photoshop Elements 2 or Premiere Elements 2? For now I will assume Premiere Elements 2 which had to be on some version of Windows.
    What do you have from Premiere Elements 2 - project files (.prel) or exports to file formats such as .avi or .mpg or .mov?
    Project files from Premiere Elements (any version) Windows cannot be used in Premiere Elements (any version) Mac.
    Video files exported from Premiere Elements 2 with its QuickTime choice (.mov files) would be likely to open in Premiere Elements 13 Mac. The other Premiere Elements
    2 choices of MPEG and Windows Media would be expected to need conversion to .mov or .mp4 before import into Premiere Elements 13.
    In Premiere Elements 13 Mac, consider importing the files from wherever you save files in Mac to a project with the project's Expert workspace Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets. I would strongly encourage you to set the project preset manually (File Menu/New/Project) to match the properties of these source files before import rather than let the project do it manually for you based on the properties of the first video dragged to the Timeline.
    Please supply more details so that we can fine tune the reply. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Installing Elements 9 on my Mac Will this duplicate my existing photos on file (65K) ?

    Installing Elements 9 on my Mac Will this duplicate my existing photos on file (65K) ? Or will it use a link to work on the pictures and save only the additions?

    I'm not quite sure why you would think that Photoshop Elements would duplicate your existing photos. If you have had Elements 9 installed previously, and have a catalog, the new installation will utilize that catalog. However, Elements isn't going to automatically duplicate all of your images. Images are never actually "in" Elements. Elements simply points to the images wherever they are located on your system.
