Organizer Shuts Down in PSE 7

I've been using PSE7 for a couple of months with no problems. The other day my computer shut down while I was in the organizer and ever since, I get an error message saying it has to close down. After reading some suggestions, I've learned that if I repair the catalog, I can get into organizer and even do some more work (add photos, create new albums and tags, etc.), but inevitably it will close down again. I did an uninstall and then reinstalled, but the problem continues. It isn't any one action that seems to cause the shutdown....sometimes it's very quickly after I've opened the organizer and other times it will be fine for up to a half hour or so and then it's shut down, repair again and hope for the best. Any suggestions? It's become really frustrating and I'm regretting the upgrade. Thanks!

I too am having trouble with Organizer in PSE 7. My problem is with outputing a slide show to Premier Elements. About 60mgb into the output Organizer shuts down. I've tried uninstalling my DVD drives, uninstalling PSE 7, changing the registry moving scratch disks around, numerous other things, I even sat and watched taskmanager while the file was trying to be output to be sure I didn't have a memory problem in Vista! Still can't output a slide show at all for any use. I did try opening a slide show in PSE 6 and that worked fine. I just didn't want to have to go through the process of recreating a slide show from scratch and since the files are databased files I can't figure out a way to get the show from PSE 7 to PSE 6 without saving it with an output file. Does anyone have any ideas for me regarding any solution short of putting in the hours to recreate the Slide Show????
I don't find WinDVD. Where would I find the .dat file????
Thanks, mary lou

Elements Organizer shuts down.

I just loaded Adobe photoshop elements. When I try to use some of the find funtions such as finding duplicates a Windows box appears and says that Elements Organizer shut down. Any idea what I can do to correct this.

I'm having the same issue, it says Photoshop elements 10 not responding.
These are things I've tried from other forums:
Re-instal several time.
Clean cashe, delete temp files.
Make Win 7 compatible
Re-install after these changes
5. Skip welcome screen and go direclty to editor and organizer
Still stops working and says photoshop elements 10 not responding

Organizer shuts down everytime you open it

my photo shop 11 organizer shuts down every time it is opened can't do anything.

Hi,
This can mean that there is a problem with the catalog.
Try holding down the shift key while you start the organizer. Keep it held down and the Catalog Manager should appear (now release the shift key).
Select you catalog in the lower panel and click on the Repair button
When that has finished, click on the Optimize button
When that is done, click on the Cancel button to close the Catalog Manager
What operating system are you running on?
Good luck
Brian

HELP!!! v7, Organizer shutting down upon opening

Please help!!
I have Elements v7 running on Vista...PSE has never given me a problem. However, recently, when I open the program it gives me a message and says it needs to shut down. I read online and tried to reset my preferences but that did not work.
Upon opening I can open Editor but not organizer. Also tried to open Organizer via Editor. Still not working.
Any help would be great. Below is the message it gives me.

2) Photoshop Elements
These folders are present at :- C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

Organizer Shuts Down

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8. I'm trying to create a slide show. My Organizer kept shutting down, and now won't open at all. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Make sure the program is not running in the background as sometimes it doers not close down properly.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Click the Processes Tab
If you see any running programs for Adobe highlight each one in the list and click end process.

PSE8 Organizer shuts down

I've not been able to access my Organizer for a month now.
I attempted to load photos from my mobile (done many times before).
Now when I boot up Organizer I get a note that 10 items have been noted - click y or n to show. On touching the panel the whole program shuts down. I can't access any control outside that box. The only way I can connect here is to use the Edit program. I have searchedd everywhere for the "missing" photos with no success. Can anyone advise me of the best way out of this mess? Reload the program? I've searched all the Temp folders with no success. Help someone!

Try deleting the Organizer preferences and see if it gets launched.
Also, you can try creating a new catalog. When you launch the Organizer, press the shift key and then launch the Organizer. It would show up Catalog Manager dialog. There you can create a new catalog.

When I optimize, the organizer shuts down.

I am trying to optimize my thumbnail images in Elements organizer and whenever I hit optimize, a dialog box pops up saying the organizer has stopped working and windows is trying to find a solution to the problem, which it doesn't, so it shuts the organizer down. I have been having trouble viewing my thumbnail photos for a while and restarting doesn't seem to help..

The system info gives the path to the current catalog location.
You have to find that folder (it may be a hidden folder, so you may have to set your explorer preferences to show hidden files - I assume you are on Windows)
When you have found that folder, have a look inside it and lool for a 'thumbs.5.cache' file. That's the file you have to delete.

Windows message on PSE 7 says the prgm is shutting down. I have XP sp 3.

When I open PSE 7 and go to Organizer I get a Windows message saying an error reguires the program to shut down. I have XP sp 3. Elements was working ok until about a week ago. I have been adding scanned images and some are indicated as too large and won't display. They are jpegs. I can continue to work in Organizer and ignore the message. I have tried debugging and sending messages to Microsoft. How can I resolve the message conflict with Windows?

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

My PSE elements 7.0 on Vista shuts down before loading thumbnails.

I get the Windows error sign that then shuts the organizer down. The thumbnail spinner having stopped working.
I have repaired the catalog, optimized it and reindexed and repaired again.
I have deleted PSA and status.dat
I have deleted thumbnail cache
I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE.
I have created anew catalogue
I have imported pictures to the new catalogue successfully.
The thumbnails were created. I worked on this catalogue for about one hour. Exited. When I reloaded PSE the same fault occurred immediately.
Windows picture viewer and Photo Gallery work fine with all my catalogue.
The fault module name is EZdH264DecTFilter.dll
What should I try next??

Thanks for the advice. I do suspect the problem is something to do with
video files. But turning of the Active File Monitor sadly has not fixed the
problem.

Elements 10 Organizer keeps shutting down - why?

I have using PSE 6 succesfully on my computer for about 4 years. I recently downloaded the trial version of PSE 10, but it never worked properly and the Organizer would close down aftre about 1 minute, so I never bothered with it. I have now purchased the software on DVD and the same thing is happening. I open the Organizer, it loads up with all my pictures (about 14,500) and then after about 60-90 seconds I get a grey pop-up box saying "Elements 10 Organizer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft about this problem...." and sends a report.
I'm not techie, and the report content means nothing to me.
I've tried uninstall/reinstall and that hasn't helped and I've read numerous Forum topics but cannot find one that matches this. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks. Simon.

I just installed PSE10 and ran into the same problem with Organizer after setting up a catalog by importing pictures from six years' worth of photo files and folders. It turns out one of the imported files was corrupted in the import process and was given a year of 2098. Organizer kept shutting down after about less than 30 seconds every time I opened it, and I couldn't delete the corrupted file. I also uninstalled and reinstalled PSE10 a few times. Finally, I discovered the Catalog Manager feature (hold down the "shift" key while starting Organizer). In Catalog Manager, I moved the catalog I had created from being accessible by everyone to being accessible to only me. Voila! I was then able to open Organizer without it shutting down. Then I used Organizer to properly convert my previous catalog created in Photoshop Album 2.0 into Organizer. And I got my entire catalog in less time than the method I had been using. Now, however, I have a problem in trying to delete the catalog with the corrupted file. When I use Catalog Manager to remove it, I get an error message saying the catalog is being used by "another program." I can't figure out which other program that is. I'll have to keep playing with Organizer until I figure that one out.

PSE 12 Automatically shutting down after "sign in"

Hi, I just bought PSE 12 and installed the disk, everything seemed fine with the install. When I open PSE 12 it says "Sign In Reqired" then I press sign in, and put in my Adobe ID, and it says "please wait for a moment" and then the entire program shuts down on it's own.
I tried to look up several advice questions on this community, so here is what I've tried so far:
1. Restarting computer.
2. Uninstalling/Reinstalling
3. Downloading the Free Trial
4. Updating Quicktime
5. Going into Owner > App Data > Roaming > PSE > 12.0 (and then deleating the contents)
6. Creating a new Adobe ID
I am running Windows 7.1, no prior Photoshop program was installed. Also, the trial version of PS premere elements 12 that came on the disk seems to work fine?
Any suggestions would be awesome

That means that for some reason PSE isn't liking your Adobe ID. It would probably be quickest to contact activation support:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
If you scroll down there's a place on that page to start a chat session and they can usually fix it right away.
In case you didn't know, in PSE 12 sign in = activate.

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.
Wim.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme

I am trying to access Organizer in Premiere Elements and it just shuts down the programme. I tried reinstalling the programme but it just does not let me get to Organizer. Now after reinstalling, it does not let me into the programme. It just keeps on asking me to sign in. Once I sign in, it just goes blank. I checked my registration online and it is already there. What do I do apart from tearing my hair?

Does PSE 10 save files automatically if my computer crashes/shuts down suddenly?

Hi, I was drawing out the base lines for a painting I am making with Photoshop Elements 10, when I left briefly. I think my computer decided it wanted to do updates suddenly, and it shut down everything. When I rebooted my computer and re-opened PSE 10, I couldn't find the file. Of course, I'm an idiot and neglected to "save as" before I left the room because someone in my house required my immediate attention.
Does PSE 10 save your project at all if suddenly your computer shuts down or crashes? If so, then how to I find those files? Or am I screwed? Because I liked how it was turning out and I had spent a lot of time to get to the point I was at before my computer decided it hated itself. So, I'd really like to get that file back...
Thank you.

No, unfortunately there is no autosave in PSE.
