Photoshop 13 will not start

I know this is a common problem and I have tried all the solutions that I have found, such as uninstalling, reinstalling, renaming various folders/files etc but Photoshop Elements 13 will no longer start. The error message is: "Elements 13 Organiser has stopped working".
It used to work perfectly and I have no idea why it stopped!
I have managed to get 12 to run now (after a lot of installing uninstalling etc) but had to rebuild the catalogue, not a quick task.
Any ides anyone.

Thanks, Benjamin
All my drivers are up to date but, thanks to you, I have now added my query to the correct forum!
Best wishes.

Photoshop CS4 will not Start

Hi, i'm usually quite responsible when it comes to making sure my system can coap with what i am asking of it, but i've ran into a problem that my computer just can't seem to get around, and means that photoshop cs4 will not start up.
I've been making .PAT files from a few pattern sourcebooks i've recently brought. The first two went fine, but a japanese sourcebook contained 250 reasonably hi-res pattern images which i put through an automated action which set them all as patterns for me for the Pattern Overlay option in beldning options. When i did this i noticed my computer started to slow down near the end of the process, so i saved out the .PAT file from them, and quit photoshop to free up over 2.10GB worth of data. I have 4GB on a 32bit XP, but only 2 and a half-ish is seen by windows due to the hardware installed aswell. Of course i plan to chnage this to 64bit soon, but anyway, when photoshop now is told to start up, it reads everything normally, then gets to "Reading Preferences", and crashes with an error report, which watching my task manager, i belive to be linked to memory shortage from having to load the patterns up.
I reset my preferences to see if it would set them all back to default and not read the added pattern files, but that made no difference. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

I'd look into doing a couple of tests:
1.) Move those PAT files elsewhere
2.) Eliminate all programs and Processes, that are unnecessary. Task Manager>Processes will give you a list of all that load, and you can probably stop half of them with no ill effects. I'd use MSCONFIG, so you can go back and easily activate them later.
3.) Reboot and see what happens.
Note: John's suggestion on the Presets folder might address #1, but I'd also physically Move them. It sounds like you're running totally out of resources to run PS, so Textures, and such, might be an issue too.
A question: how are your Scratch Disks setup and please tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. the internal HDD's, their size, free space, speed, controller type and how these internal HDD's are allocated. Especially tell us if you have any physical HDD's partitioned.
Good luck,

Photoshop CS5 will not start after Outlook

If I start Outlook (Office 2007) as the first application after loading OS (Win 7 Ult, 64 bit), Photoshop CS5 will not open (message: "needs to close down). I then have to log off and in again and start Photoshop before Outlook to get it to work. I seem to remember having this kind of problem some years ago - but do not remember whats caused this problem. Is there anybody out there having the same kind of trouble? Or even better - the solution?

Hmm... I have CS5 Master Collection, and MS Office 2007, and I have never had any problems opening ANY program, in ANY order
My hardware and OS is linked here... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 - you might want to post details in case someone is able to spot a problem based on more information

You could try renaming or deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings preferences folder.

My photoshop cc will not start up, it loads up but doesn't start. Open up task manager and it says its "not responding". Any help?

Tried to open my Photoshop CC app but the app is not responding. App goes through the motions of loading but never opens. I've used the App before with no issues, this is my third month using the Creative Cloud. Any help would be useful, Thanks.

Photoshop 11 will not start up

I have Adobe Photoshop Elemments 11. I insert the CD into the drive and nothing happens. How do I install?

Hi Phil,
Make sure that the DVD drive is writable.
Navigate to the DVD drive and open the Photoshop Elements 11 folder to locate the setup file. Please double click on this file so that the product would start the installation.

If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2 and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP computer and mess up the existing catalog,
unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ok, I had many problems with the installation, but after three attempts I've got it working. This might work with a previously failed installation - but there are other guides in the forum to get this position -thanks also to the many threads on the this - which pointed me in the right direction
Previously I'd had issues with Error 1935, (on Shared Technologies), Blue screens due to clbudf.sys from Cyberlink Instant burn which blue screened (thread abort exception) this install as also iTunes. (I haven't installed this now...
My scenario. Win 7 (clean) -> Win 8 -> Win 8.1
After setting up the setting up the system.
I ensured the following : (although begrudingly) so I could do a system restore if needed.
-I disabled Anitvirus & Firewall
-enabled Volume Shadow Copy Service
I then ensured I had downloaded Adobe Application Manager 8.0 (read this may help) - I installed - but I did not run it as I believe it updates to Adobe CC Manager( from previous attempts)
i also downloaded and installed the 32 bit versions of :
C++2008 redistributable (32 bit)
C++2008 SP1 redistributable (32 bit)
I installed Premiere Elements (64 bit) - note I had previously installed Sony Vegas 10 Platinum, which downloaded and installed NET 3.5/Net 2.0 adding to windows features, which many have helped - not sure.
I installed Photoshop Elements (32 bit)
I started both apps and updated them to 12.1.
Happy ... finally - hope this helps others - or at least helps adobe improve their installer, diagnose the issue for others.

Photoshop Elements 12 will not start

Hi,
I meant create a new user account on your laptop. There are some settings that are stored on a per user basis so creating a new user may clear a setting.
However, that may not help in your case - I have been trying to help someone else and got your two problems mixed up.
The only reason that I had the editor fail before was resolved by running the disk cleanup and check tools.
As you have returned the product, you could try installing the trial version. If you get it to work, then you may be able to buy a boxed version from Amazon or similar. I'm not sure where you are but the boxed version can often be on special offer from the big stores at a cheaper price.
Brian

Photoshop elements 13 will not start editor

photoshop elements 13 will not start editor. Application lets me open the organizer, but the editor never opens. No error is presented, application just closes. Attempted compatibility settings, still no luck. Any suggestions?

mine won't even let me begin. I click on a picture and it immediately shuts down.... This is my first time to use it and I feel like a refund is in order. Why on earth won't it even let me start on a picture

I have a new laptop and want to instal photoshop elemets2.0.It will not start to instal. Why?

I have a new latop, and want to instal an old version of Photoshop elements 2.0 that I have. It will not start the instal process. Why?

It is probably because the software is too old to install/use on your new machine. Look at the files on the disk and see if there are any there that you might try to use to initiate installation.

Photoshop CS5 will not open

My photoshop CS5 will not open either from the desktop or from the program list. I can open Bridge but when I then try to view a photo in photoshop I get a message that says Bridge has stopped working and will have to close down.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Photoshop CS will not open after upgrade to OSX 10.4.3

Photoshop CS will not open in my iBook after an upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4.4. Even when I reinstall, from a dmg file, it doesn't help. The error message says: “the app photoshop quit unexpectedly”
My iBook, which boots in 10.3.9 still, has no problems with this same program.
What are the conflicts with OSX 10.4.4?
iBook G4, iMacDV Mac OS X (10.4.3)

What do you mean by 'Install from a DMG file'
Are you using the original installer disks? I have CS and it works fine in Tiger OSX 10.4.4.
It could be a number of things, but installing from the original disks is a good start.
