Photoshop Element Editor 12 does not start

Few days ago I installed Photoshop Elements 12. It worked fine, however today I decided to re-roll my system to the version prior to PSE installation. After reinstalling PSE12 I couldn't launch Editor - Organiser works fine.
Editor doesn't start if I try to opent it directly from .exe file, from Organiser or from Welcome screen. In Task Manager Photoshop Elements Editor program appears for a few seconds, later PDapp.exe appears and nothing happens.
I tried to reinstall the program removing all folders (also from "AppData" folder) but it hasn't helped.
Any idea how to solve the problem?

I decided to restore system because of some strange short (1-3s.) hang-ups.They started after installing last windows update.
I am using Win 7. I tried normal normal uninstaller.
Finally, I deleted some folders in CommonFiles/Adobe connected with PSE12 and with licence manager and then after reinstalling PSE I need to sign in to my Adobe account and everything works fine now.

Photoshop Elements 7 does not start (after 3 years i used it)

Yesterday, when i opened my Photoshop Elements 7 (I use it on my PC from 3 years), after the splash screen, an alert windows says to me that there is an error and suggested to restart PC or reinstall product. The program automatically closed itself.
I'm not able to write the exact sentence of the alert, because now PE7 does not start at all. Not even the alert with the error message.
I always used this product in this 3 years (from this PC), without problems.
PE7 was preinstalled and pre-registered by the constructor of PC (Sony-Vaio). So, now i have not even the registration key to reinstall PE7.
Furthermore, I tried to open Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (also, preinstalled and pre-registered, but never used), and after splash screen the program automatically close itself.
What can I do??!?
Thanks you all.

No result by disconnecting from the network. Even if I restart PC.
But.... I SOLVED the problem!!!!!
The problem was "FLEXnet Licensing Service"
Thanks to last tip, that leads to another failure... I remembered that 2 days ago I tried to optimize my PC by stopping some service with MSConfig. One of the disabled services was "FLEXnet Licensing Service".
Searching in google, now i know that "Flexnet Licensing service is used by most Adobe products to prevent piracy".
So, some Adobe products do not start, if Flexnet Licensing service is not running.
Thank you very much for tips, and help in general... very helpful (to investigate the nature of the problem).

Photoshop elements editor does not open

I had photoshop elements 12 for windows working fine on windows 7 professional 64 bit . Then recently attempted to install the12.1 upgrade which failed with the usual lack of any useful information.
I removed elements, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, ran the update successfully, rebooted and now, as has been since the upgrade attempt, the editor won't start. If I right click a photo in the organizer and pick edit, I get a message "Loading the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." for a couple of minutes, the message disappears, and no editor appears.
How do I diagnose and fix?

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5. My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it. When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......". In the details is this line:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Reason: image not found
I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know. I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0. It made no difference, same error message.

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

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

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9). I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12. I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail! No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded. The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time! I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

Hi,
You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
Good luck
Brian

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10

My Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10 nor does my Premier Elements 12. When I try to start them up I get the error message. After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times its still the same. Strangely enough PSE 11 seem to work with Yosemite. I uninstalled my Premier Elements as well and it behave the same way. How do I get a new copy of Premier Elements 12 to reinstall?

Just to further test what is happening to my iMac on Yosemite is I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC and when I go to launch it it gives mr the same error message as when I try to launch PES 12 or Premier Elements 12. So whatever the problem is it involves all three and so upgrading to Photoshop CC doesn't even help. Could there be an Adobe file damaged or missing somewhere that is common to these and yet does not effect Revel and Lightroom?

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 13 does not respond to editing tools

Photoshop Elements 13 does not respond to editing tools. I have a MAC. Any suggestions?

Reset the tools or reset preferences.
What version of operating system?

I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke?

I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke does anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

Many thanks that does work. But it now leads to another question is this simply a trackpad issue and if so will it be fixed? I use Elements every day and was thinking I would have to go back to Mavericks.

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.

Premiere Elements 12 does not start after error message: display driver is incompatible

After successful installation and starting Premiere Elements the following error message appears: "Uncompatible display driver identified. Update the display driver for a better and faster playback performance!" Hopefully my translation from German is helpful enough. I confirmed with OK but unfortunately Premiere Elements does not start. I checked the display driver: it is the most actual one: AMD Radeon HD 7610M. Furthermore the hardware should be OK as well: ASUStek with an Intel Core i5-2450M CPU @2.5 GHz; 6 GB RAM; 64 Bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1. What can I do?

Moonkeys25
Recap...please confirm that as of this date, the problem exists with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Moving forward...
If you issue was specific to the display card error that you have been getting then probable conclusions
a. the ADM Radeon H7610M driver version is not up to date
or
b. the ADM Radeon H7610 M video card/graphics card installed as is is not compatible with Premiere Elements 12 on your Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
The updated driver version and the BadDrivers.txt file deletion should have corrected the problem unless there is a gross mismatch between Premiere Elements 12 and ADM Radeon H7610M.
Did you use the link that John posted to get the auto detection of the latest driver version for the ADM card?
If we have gone as far as we can with the card and its driver version angle on this, then we can try the generalized troubleshooting drills with no guarantees, just hopes
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. You just need to make sure to have the computer's Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" has no effect on the issue...uninstall, ccleaner run through time, reinstall with antivirus and firewalls turned off.
a. Control Panel/Program, select Adobe Premiere Elements 12, right click the entry and click on the Uninstall pop up. Then follow the instructions for the uninstall.
b. Download and install the free ccleaner for a computer run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and installs.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
When you are ready for this step, I will give you a step by step through the ccleaner (regular cleaning part and registry cleaning part).
c. Reinstall from your installation files or installation disc, with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Please review above and then let me know if I have interpreted correctly where we are in the troubleshooting. Do not start the above plan until we are in agreement on the details and hoped for results.
Thanks.

Photoshop Elements 12 does not install on Win 8.1 64bit

Hi!
My system: Windows 8.1 64 bit with all patches, 32GB Ram and engough HD space.
I downloaded PSE 12 32bit and Premiere Elements 12 64bit. Both won't install.
Problems:
Premiere: Installation fails when shared components should be installed. I spent more than 2hrs trying every tip I found in forums. Same result.
Photoshop: It always tries to deinstall Elements 12 (which is definetely not installed) and fails becaus of "Specified path is empty". It was never fully installed. I cleaned all folders manually, I deleted registry entries according forum advise. I rebooted. I put the installation files onto C:. Before I installed, I deinstalled Elements 9. I also cleaned those files. An no, I did not deinstall my Antivirus. I cannot deactivate it and deinstalling is a very very bad option.
What I already tried:
10 reboots
Deinstall old version
Clean Temp folder
Clean Registry
Delete all folders and hopefull all registry "Elements" entries
Archive OOBE Folder
Moved installation Files to C:
Start Installation as Administrator
Monitored if any other Adobe program is running - killed all
Any help is much apreshiated. I am desperate and about to return the products.
Michael
