Organizer Crashes - says Direct X 10 Installed, but it isn't

The Photoshop Elements Organizer has just started crashing on me every time I try to open it. It says "DirectX 10 is installed, but could not be initialized" and says to reboot. I've rebooted multiple times and still crashes. If I say I want to go to the Editor, that works fine. I can open Premiere Elements fine. I have run DXDiag and it says I have DirectX 9c not 10. I have uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled and get the same error. I cannot think of anything that has changed on my computer since I used the organizer last other than installing a TMNT game which says it uses DirectX 8. I've searched the Web and can't find any similar complaints. I am running in windows XP. Help!
Thanks.

Please download the codecs from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectX.htm.
Try reinstalling the application if this does not solve your problem. Please let me know if that works!

Trying to update FCPX but it says it's already installed but it isn't

I am trying to update FCPX on one of our MacPro Tower (not trash can / Cylinder ) computers.
It is running FXP X 10.1.x.
When I try to download FCPX 10.2 from the App Store it says I already have it installed... IT ISN"T.
I thought well maybe I need to reinstall OSX ...maybe that would help....
so I tried to do that and I got an error message that I am not connected to the internet.
I AM... and its working fine.
Both the WiFi and the Ethernet connections are fine.
So I am not sure what is going on here.
I am having trouble connecting to APPLE. for some reason.
I am using my apple ID on several computers since I am the Administrator over these 4 Mac Pros and a MacBook Pro laptop.
I am not having any issues except with this one computer for some reason.
any ideas?

Ok... I plugged my ethernet cable into a different connection on the wall... and I got through... however now it says that Apple can't find the Installation information about my computer and to contact apple care... my apple care has expired on this computer I'm pretty sure....
this is getting pretty frustrating.

Direct X is installed but could not be initialized. Please reboot your system and then relaunch Elements Organizer. Editor works but not Organizer.

I have a windows PC with windows 8.1 and have had it for 13 months. I have PE 9 installed and have been using it without a single problem when out of the blue I can't open the Organizer. I can open the editor but not the organizer. When I attempt to open it I get this...Direct x is installed but can't be initiated. Please reboot your system and then relaunch Elements organizer. Obviously, I have done this many, many times. I have had two computer experts look through my computer for a total of 13 hours and neither one of them knows what the problem is. One of them thought the issue might be bad graphics driver but the other computer guy thought that was definitely not it.
The second technician thought it was a corrupt file somewhere in the catalog. We downloaded a trial version of PE 12 and tried to open that and it won't open either. Seriously at my wits end here. I'm willing to pay to have this fixed. I've already spent hundreds of dollars to no avail. Rest of the computer works flawlessly.
We have done everything that has been posted here on this topic without success. Rebuild the thumbnail cache, repair the catalog via the catalog manager, gone in and made sure that Direct x was actually turned on...it is! I'm truly expecting a miracle as this is basically my last resort. I have over 30,000 images and just don't know what to do. Clearly installiung a new program is not the answer as PE 12 trial version came up with the same issue. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Acrobat says that it is installed, but it is not

I have recently wiped my drive and re-installed apps. I have successfully installed photoshop, indesign, illustrator cc 2014. When I go to the Creative Cloud App it says that Acrobat IX is installed, but it isn't installed. I did not install it on this drive. I used the "uninstall" provided within the Creative Cloud App. It asks me to authenticate, looks like it's doing something, but Acrobat IX still shows as installed. I have quit CC. I have restarted my machine. I have looked for the uninstall app independent of the CC app and it doesn't exist. I DO need to install Acrobat. How can I do this?
[Other information that may be relevant or not – I do have an internal drive which has a clone of my old system drive that has Acrobat IX on it, but it also has the other apps that installed / work as they should. I signed out of CC before I reinstalled the new system on the internal system drive]

After a lengthy uninstall of ALL cloud apps, and letting Adobe support manually take control of my machine and delete files from the user/lib, I was able to get Acrobat installed. Now the CC Desktop app says it's NOT installed, even though it runs fine and shows no updates when that command is invoked directly from the check updates menu in Acrobat. Further, the Adobe icon in the menu bar shows that 4 updates are available.
Is it just me, or is Adobe's new Cloud delivery system just not ready for primetime?

Had a simalar problem. But we weren't getting any service. AT&T said it was a defective SIM card and pretty much everyone that bought an AT&T iPhone 6 from the online store had a defective sim. had to buy a new sim from best buy because att were sold out because the problem was so wide spread.

Yes, according to my information that was the model number for what you have. If you aren't sure then open Systemp Profiler and look for the model identifier in the display on the right. Following are the identifiers:
5,2
6,1 (this is the Late 2009; it is model number A1342)
This should provide all you need to pick the correct item.

Thanks for the added information, the screenshot did not get posted but that is ok.
These steps should resolve the issue on your Mac:
Double-click on the link for Uninstall Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 at Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
Check if the Install link is now available in the Adobe Application Manager.
If not, install and run the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove any traces of Premiere Pro. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
The Install link should now be available in the Adobe Application Manager.

I am having the same problem. Control Panel shows it is installed(but all that does is let me uninstall it), but I can't find it anywhere. When installing it, it said installation completed, but some components failed to install. Would apprciate any help to figure out how to install this product. I have had no trouble downloading any of the other products I wanted from the Cloud.
The error report was as follows:

App Store says Lion is installed but it isn't - What happened?

I have the appropriate qualifying hardware and software and downloaded Lion, clicked on proceed and App Store says it is installed but it isn't.
Any ideas?

"Me too"
Yet another individual in the same boat. ***, Apple?! Why must getting software be so obscure & complicated? What happened to: go to website, download thing, install thing?
I had Xcode 4.1 installed. Wanted to install (yet another) package with MacPorts, but got complaint that Xcode 4.1 is inadequate.
So I go to App Store & tell it to install current Xcode…This, BTW, left me with nearly zero feedback that something was going on. Only because I have a menubar widget showing network bandwidth did I know it was downloading.
while waiting (who knows how long it was to be), I had to sleep my computer to take it with me to work.
Upon waking my computer, App Store tells me Xcode is installed. Great!
Back to MacPorts to install that package: it tells me that Xcode 4.1 is too old. ***!?
Then things get messy & I end up clicking on the circle-X "button" next to XCode in the "Purchases" section of App Store, thinking that'll allow me to install it…that's a dead end
I then try entirely removing "/Developer" & "/Applications/Install Xcode.app"another dead end
Trying all combinations of holding any/all keyboard modifiers (option/control/shift/command) while clicking on "Purchases" in App Store did nothing different than not holding any.
Now I'm left with no Xcode & no way to install it with App Storewhee! this is a fine pit I find myself in now.
What a lovely user experience! Please, may I have more?! <grumble> <fume>
In the end, I did resort to my "what happened to…" thought.
Problem Solved:
Go to http://connect.apple.com/ & login with your (free) dev account.
Locate the current version of Xcode (4.3.2 for Lion) & download the dmg
Install like a normal person. (copy the Xcode.app from the mounted disk image to Applications)
After a bit of cleanup (things like "/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version" were trying to access things that used to exist), I've again got a working install of Xcode.

That page's troubleshooting for the "Filter failed" message worked out. I consulted the Wiki before but never found that exact page. I guess I didn't use the best search criteria. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi ...
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

App shows as installed but it isn't.

Did a clean install, redownloaded apps, this particular app shows as installed but it isn't. Any advice?

Interesting. It was 24th January last year when I bought my App Store 09 version. (My first foray into the App Store).
I don't remember whether it updated the original or replaced it but the only version in my App folder is 09, so it must have been the latter. Thanks for the star.

Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save. Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry! I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired. I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!! The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated! I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either. I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
The instructions how to do that are here:
Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.
