PC reboots when Photoshop Elements or Premier Elements is running

I am running version 8 of Photoshop and Premier Elements on a PC with 64 Bit Windows 7.
If I run either Photoshop or Premier Elements the machine will just reboot - sometimes it happens within moments on opening the program - other times it will run for a while and then just spontaneously re-boot.
The rebooting does not occur if I don't run either of the programs.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

I don't have an answer to your problem, but I am successfully running both PSE 8 and PRE 8 on a 64-bit
Win 7 PC without problems like you are experiencing. So it least you know it can be done.
You might try uninstalling both programs. Just for fun ( I know fun is not what you are looking for here) install PSE 8 first. See if it works satisfactorily. Then install PRE 8. If you had you anti-virus program running during your first installation, turn it off this time around. That may have caused some problem.

Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting

Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting. Has to be shut down by Task Manger. Task Manger shows that it is still using some CPU. Ran Procmon (part of Sysinternals) which shows that it is in a loop. Stack trace shows it is executing code in AMTValidateProductLicense.dll. Started happening about a month after I installed PSE. Everything used to work fine at first. Have tried going back to an old image of Win 8.1 on a different hard drive, otherwise same computer, and installed PSE 13 from DVD. That installation never worked, it aways hangs. If I do a clean boot, it sometimes runs long enough for me to click on a menu item and then hangs the same way. And, yes I bought a new DVD to run on this computer, never been used in any other way. Any ideas how I can get PSE running properly?

It really doesn't look like a licensing issue, it seems to be code in the area of license validation that isn't working.
I took your suggestion and initiated a couple of chat sessions with support, but so far still no luck. The latest session with Neeraj seemed to be promising. After some investigation he asked to reinstall. First he uninstalled with Revo Uninstall, which seemed to be pretty thorough. That required a restart, so he set things up to restore his conference session and took my phone number. Unfortunately I guess his connection didn't come back. When I didn't hear from him after a couple of hours I tried installing Photoshop and Premiere myself. As before, Premiere works and Photoshop doesn't. When I start Photoshop, the window opens and for a couple of seconds menus open when I click on them. Then the window freezes and I have to use Task Manager to kill it. So basically, I've tried several things but I'm back where I've been all along, I can't get Photoshop to work. I'd really appreciate suggestions about something else to try.
I wish someone at Adobe was interested in the Process Monitor traces I've made, because I'm sure someone who knows the code would be able to figure out pretty quickly what's happening. Is it trying to read a file that's not there, failing to write a file, failing to make an internet connection or what? It really shouldn't be this hard to figure out.

Will adobe photoshop elements 12 run on windows 8.1?

I'm wondering if the new computer I'm getting will be compatible with photoshop. In the specifications, adobe goes up to Windows 8, but doesn't say anything about 8.1.

I have put on my Photoshop Elements hat and went ahead and to try to install Photoshop Elements 7 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
The installation was from an installation disc which was purchased when Photoshop Elements 7 Premiere Elements 7 was first released.
The installation went without interruption to a successful install. And, the Photoshop Elements 7 performs well.
So, it is not clear when you wrote
"I cannot install because it asks for a version of Internet explorer which I seem to have."
My browsers on Windows 8.1 64 bit are Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome. My default browser there is Firefox.
Firefox version 36.0.1
Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17631
Chrome 40.0.2214.115m
and none of these were ever mentioned or pointed to in the Photoshop Elements 7 installation on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Will Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Run Successfully on a MacBook Pro running Version 10.9.3 Operating Software ?

Will Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Run Successfully on a MacBook Pro running Version 10.9.3 Operating Software ?

Sorry it took me a while to come back. Anyway, I cleared out the old Xcode files and went into the Developers Download area and selected to download 4.6.3 and was presented with this window
I clicked on Savefile and it downloaded. I was intrigued as to why this would work as it was exactly what I had done before. Out of interest I decided to issue the download again and this time it created a zero byte disk image and a "part" file of 1.6mB. I shall just have to put that behind me (accepting that I don't understand why one download should work and all the precious attempts should fail) and move on.
Thank you for your help (it was my eyesight that caused me to think my OS version was 10.7.9 - it is indeed 10.7.5)

Does Photoshop Elements 9 run on OSX 10.7 Lion?

Does Photoshop Elements 9 run on the current version of OSX? Can it run WITHOUT Rosetta, which was present up to 10.6 for PowerPC programs?

Sure. PSE has been intel native at least since PSE 6. PSE 6, 8, 9 and 10 all work fine in lion.

Photo sync when Photoshop Elements also on PC

Hi, I've a really annoying problem with iTunes and Photoshop Elements when syncing photos to my IPod. I use Elements on the PC to manipulate photos, not specifically to organise them as I already have a folder structure that suits my needs. I also use the flatphoto.pl script which allows me to flatten that structure so that individual folders appear as separate albums under Photos and IPhoto on my IPad.
When I sync I specify 'sync photos from' my parent folder which contains a list of my folders/albums, and then select around sixty other so folders I want synced. As I have around 6000 photos to sync, this takes a long time, so I thought I'd do it over several sessions.
However, when I reload iTunes, it had unpicked the sync photo option, and defaulted to Photoshop Elements rather than my selected parent and sub folders. I then had to individually re-select the folders I wanted synced, but iTunes now thinks the photos on the iPad are from a previous, different sync and wants to delete them.
Why is ITunes changing my selection between reloads and how can I prevent it doing so? As well causing an issue with this initial sync, I can't see how I could then later add another folder even if I let first sync run to completion over almost a day I'd guess.
I'm on Windows 7, ITunes 11.0.5.5. I've googled this extensively and can't see the issue described as I experience it. Hope someone can suggest a way round, hopefully short of ditching what I have and going for a third party app....

Why wont Photoshop Elements 8 run on Mac OSX 10.9.4? I keep getting the Error Code 150:30

I recently got a new laptop, an Mac Book Pro OSX 10.9.4, and transfered Photoshop Elements 8 to it along with all my other files and programs. When I tried to run Photoshop Elements 8 it said that files were missing and that I needed to re install it. After I re installed it I got an error message 150:30. After restarting the computer there was no change. I still cannot run Adobe photoshop 8 on my laptop. The fixes on the troubleshooting page dosn't seem relevent to my issue.

Then you will need to download and run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
after which you can manually remove all the bits you can find. Look not only in applications but in hard drive>library>application support>adobe and in your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help with these searches. If you need help finding either of those libraries, post back.

Photoshop Elements 12 runs really slow and is almost unusable.

Photoshop (and Premiere) Elements 12 runs really slow and is almost unusable.
All other high end software works perfectly including 3D rendering software.
27" iMac mid 2011.
16gb of RAM.
Over 100gb free hdd space.
Radeon HD card 2GB.
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
I have tested on tiny low quality images as well.
I bought this with the bundled Premiere Elements which is also unusable even with the smallest and lowest quality video file.
iMovie works fine as does other video editing software. I ONLY have an issue with Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12.
Mavericks 10.9.3
Elements 12.1

After the latest update, Firefox is much better. Using it again.

Does Photoshop Elements 13 run under Windows XP?

After going thru hell with Support on the serial number issue, I find out that PS Elements 13 doesn't run under Win XP? Is this correct? Please don't tell me to upgrade, I KNOW.

That's correct. Elements 13 will not run on Windows XP.
Photoshop Elements 13 requires Windows 7 or Windows 8.
System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements

Does Photoshop Elements 10 run on Yosemite OS?

I have an iMac running on Mavericks OS. I am looking at upgrading to Yosemite but want to be sure that Photoshop Elements 10 will still run on Yoseite.

Users of PSE11 & 12 have experienced problems; so PSE10 is likely affected.
It may be best to get PSE13 if you intend to upgrade your OS.
Black Friday on-line sales are worth a look as prices tend to drop during this period.

Will photoshop elements 9 run on windows 8?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and recently had to purchase new computer with Windows 8. Will it run on that OS?

So you have pse 9 running on windows 8, but you just can't open your camera raw files with pse 9?
Which canon camera are you using?
If the files opened okay on your vista with pse 9, you might just have to update the camera raw plugin for pse 9.
If in the pse 9 editor you go to Help>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
You can try this download for camera 6.5 and see if that works:
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 9

When photoshop elements 12 for Windows starts it hangs

just reinstalled photshop elements 12, and it still hangs for about 2 minutes after starting. Anyone know how to solve this?

Both of my products from Adobe do not show up under my Account ID:
Adobe Pro Win XI (downloaded)
Adobe Elements 12 (boxed)
I have the redemption code for Elements, but Adobe says I have already used it for obtaining serial. I de-activated program from the Mac so I do not have the serial no. Not sure what to do.
My Adobe Pro is working just fine, but I have not been able to locate the serial no. I do have the serial key from when I downloaded which I tried to use to register, but this was not valid. Not a problem now but may be in future. Paid $150 for the download.
Is there any phone support to get these problems resolved??? Thanks
