Photoshop and premiere elements will not start

If there has been an answer, I apologize for asking, I'm haven't gotten any answers from adobe chat and have reached frustration!
I have photoshop and premier elements 9 on windows 7. They worked fine for about a year then both recently stopped working, they didn't open. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from the disk and they worked.
A few days later, the same story. They stopped opening. I've only installed the programs on this one computer.
I could reinstall again and see if that works, but I think there is a 2 computer license which I might have reached since I couldn't deactivate before reinstalling because I couldn't access the program. It also seems silly to reinstall every time I need to use it.
All ideas appreciated!

Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

    One common cause of PrE hanging on launch is the video driver. While not the only possible cause, I would check this out first.
    What OS and version are you running?
    What video card do you have, both make and model?
    What is the date and version of your installed video driver?
    If you go to the mfgr's. Web site, say nVidia, or AMD/ATI, is that the latest version of the driver?
    If not, download and install the latest, reboot and test.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop and Premiere elements 8 not working after installation

    I installed the Premiere Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8 on a Sony Vaio with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card.  I can't get a new project to start in the Premiere Elements 8 program to make a DVD.  Can anyone help with this?

    I spent an entire afternoon with someone at tech support, this person was very patient and nice, but the last thing they suggested was to uninstall and reinstall the program.  I did this and still have the same problem.  We even went so far as to share screens as I walked throught he problem and still had no results.  I am about to ask for a refund of my money if this can't be fixed.

  • Display driver problem - Premiere Elements will not start

    Premiere Elements 10 will not run on my computer unless I downgrade to an old display driver. I would do this but it causes other problems.
    I am using the most recent driver from NVidia (but a pretty old display card).  I get this message: "We have detected an incompatible display driver... driver details: NVidia Geforce GTS 250/pCIe/SSE2 3.0.0"
    On Windows 7
    Can anybody help with this?

    Have you manually gone to the nVidia web site and downloaded the latest driver?
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    This fixes about 95% of these types of issues.
    Also, you definitely do have a BadDriver.txt file on your computer. And you may need to delete it to clear this error.

  • Is there any "simple" documentation on the steps to download and install Photoshop and Premiere Elements V13?  The downloads seems to work but there's nothing clear on what do you do next.

    I've been messing with computers since 1958 and I've never seen such a mess as trying to download and install the recently purchased copies of Photoshop and Premiere Elements Version 13.  Slow downloads?  Sure, but I can live with that.  But once downloaded, what next?  Look for a xxx.exe file somewhere in the pile?  Read the "ReadMe" file?  All I seem to get is unzipping some files with nothing leading me into the proper steps.  I can't even seem to get off the ground.  Everything I touch unzips and just lies there.  I hate to think I've gone dumb after all of these years, but "user friendly" this is not.  My "Your order confirmation" sheet gives me "Follow the instructions below to start using it today" and the first three steps work as you'd expect.  Step 4 states "After you have completed the download process, your serial number will be displayed in the download center."  Step 5 is "You can log back into 'Adobe Account Management' in the future to re-download your product or retrieve your serial number. ...."  I have no problem with my serial number but there seems to be a lot missing between Steps 4 and 5.  It would be nice to have this information as pretty standard "stuff.  Computers are supposed to do super stuff without a lot of time-consuming problems with a simple process like installing the software.  I'm feeling a bit hostile about this but it is a time-consuming, frustrating process.

    Justin created a guide to using Favorites. It will help you a lot with what you seek. He has a link to it in this thread.

  • I have problems with my Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10

    I've had Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 since February and they've been nothing but trouble, constantly closing and, in addition, I believe causiing other programs, such as IE 9 and those in Office 10, to close also.
    They've disappeared again and,  again, I am unable to download them.  I've been on Chat, followed instructions with no result, and spent about 15 hours trying to re-download them.  Again.  I  just don't understand this.  I've had a running dialogue with Adobe and gotten nowhere. 
    Must I order and pay for the discs?  If I get the discs, will my results be any different?  (Better or worse?)

    Branching to a new discussion as this is not related to the previous error message posted.
    Kay Latona you can order replacement media by contacting our support team.  Are you currently receiving errors when trying to install Photoshop and Premiere Elements or when you try to open either Photoshop or Premiere Elements?

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10, but the DVD will not load.  Help!

    It is possible the disc is defective.  Can you read the contents of the disc?  If you are unable to find a file that resembles an executable for the type of system you own, then you should contact support to confirm that your discs are faulty and they can probably point you in the right direction for obtaining new discs.

  • Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    Does the student teacher edition of photoshop and premiere elements 13 have to be renewed yearly?

    that depends whether you were using the subscription cc version or the perpetual license version.
    if you can open, for example,  pse, click help and if you see activate/deactivate you have the perpetual license version and do not need to renew.  if you see sign in/sign out, you have the subscription version and will need to maintain your subscription to continue to use your cc program(s).

    If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative  application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application.  Then install CS6 and use your CS6  serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for.   CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates.  Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6.  Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...

  • Which files need installation for Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9

    In the list of files for download for the Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9 Plus package that I just purchased,
    (Windows 7) there is a single "Premiere Content ALL" file of ~4.2GB.  There are also 6 files called "Premiere
    Content 1" (and 2 2nd 3), and "Premiere Content 1 HD" (and 2 and 3).
    After smooth installs of the PSE and PRE programs proper, in doing the install of the "Premiere Content ALL"
    file, it seems like the "Content 1-3 and 1-3 HD"  files were included in it (judging by the file nmes flashing on
    the screen during the install, and in poking around in the install directory).
    What I would like to know is: are the 6 Content 1-3 and 1-3 HD file included in the Content ALL file, and if so,
    are they at the same revision level as what's in the Content ALL file.
    I don't want to just try installing the individual Content files over the ALL file install, as that might well screw
    something or other up.
    I tried getting an answer to this on the phone with Adobe support, but could not get an unambiguous answer
    from either of the two support people I spoke to.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks ...
    /kim

    Thanks for the reply.   The real question though was/is are ALL the files contained in the 6 separate content archive files
    (Content 1, Content 2, Content 3, Content HD 1, Content HD 2, and Content HD 3) also contained in the single archive
    file called Content ALL?
    Since I was unable to get a definitive answer to that question, I went ahead and downloaded all 7 of the Content archive
    files, extracted all of the archived files in the *.7z files and compared the timestamps and sizes of the files in the 6 individual archives to the timestamps and sizes of the files from the "ALL" archive.   The files within the 6 archives matched those
    in the ALL archive.
    And since the sizes of all 7 *.exe files are identical, I suspect they are all the same and simply invoke an unarchiver
    for their respective 7z file, using their own filename as the argument to the builtin program.
    The overall result is that I have verified to my own satisfaction that the contents of the 6 individual Content XX files
    *are* contained within the single Content ALL file.
    It would have been NICE if Adobe had bothered to TELL their customers that, so they wouldn't spend twice the time in
    downloading 6 unnecessary files which in reality just duplicate the ALL file.   Plus in my case, spending an hour or
    two verifying that the contents of the 6 files were also in the ALL file.   Sheesh.
    C'est la vie ...

  • (Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0) + (Photoshop cs5 extended) installed all at once any issues?

    Hello,
    1.  I have Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0 currently installed.  I would like to download and try Photoshop cs5 extended.  I know they have different Camera Raw versions and other items different.  Will they conflict with each other in any way?  Will the newer camera raw support for Photoshop cs5 extended break the older camera raw support in Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0?
    2.  Was also thinking about downloading and checking out Lightroom trial, would the organizer in Photoshop and Premiere Elements 9.0 conflict at all with the bridge or whatever is used in Lightroom?
    3.  I love the quick touch ups and teeth whitening etc I can do in Photoshop Elements 9.0, is there a comparable tool in Photoshop cs5 extended or Lightroom?  I mean I am sure you can do anything in Photoshop if you're good enough at it.  But I like that in Photoshop  Elements 9.0, it has the dummy version where I simply point highlight and click.
    Thank you for your time,
    J

    Thank you Barbara B.,
    Do you know if there is a basic reference somewhere on adobe for performing tasks on both pieces of software?  Thanks to you I know how to replace the teeth whitening function, but what about for instance the "slimming" tool, or the eye lash darkening tool etc?  I know I can google each tool I am sure.  But is there a single "bible" like reference for the various commands or tool functions shared between the two?  Are there any books you recommend etc?
    Thank you for your time,

  • Photoshop and Premiere Elements Upgrade to V8

    Hi,
    I am very annoyed with Adobe. I just bought a copy of Photoshop and Premiere Elements 7 on Friday and guess what???
    I have obviously opened and installed it and used it a bit. I cant believe that Adobe didnt mention/promote V8 in any way.
    Anyway, does anyone know if there is a free upgrade to V8? Or is there a way I can reject V7 and get Adobe to exhchange it for V8?
    Cheers

    I agree. Adobe has always been great at this, unlike some other software companies. Corel comes immediately to my mind. Seems that they offered a US$20 off of the upgrade price, when Painter XI came out, and one had just bought Painter X. Whoopie!
    Going back a bit, Adobe did not even charge shipping and handling for media, within the 30 days. One got the full box with manual (if provided), and new discs. Do not know exactly how downloads are handled, as I have never gotten any Adobe product, except in the full-boxed form.
    If you purchased from the Adobe Store, they'll have your S/N and records, but I've have a copy of my receipt handy, just in case. If you bought from a retailer, have that receipt and S/N, when you make the call.
    Good luck,
