Photoshop Elements 10 deinstallation, program not in system control (windows 7 64-bit)

Hello,
maybe I oversaw the right answer, but I was searching for hours now and so I opened this "new" issue.
Several weeks ago I installed a full version of photoshop elements 10 on the 64 bit windows 7 system of my father and it worked fine.
Today my father treid to restart the program but could not find the icon, so i started the program by starting the exe-file in the photoshop folder. but the image processing and the organizer did not work. An error message recommended to download and refresh the application manager. I was not willing to do so so I decided to reinstall. By trying to reinstall the installation told me first to uninstall the existing version but there is no photoshop found in the system control also there's no uninstall file in any photoshop folder, so how to handle.
After downloading and refreshing the application manager now everything seems to run properly but I'm not satisfied becaus I don't understand what's ongoing on the system. Still I cannot find a photoshop installation in the system control. How can I reinstall if another problem occures if I cannot uninstall.
Please help me to gain a little more knowledge to handle those problems in future.
So the primary, cebtral question is: why can I not find a photoshop installation in the system control and how to deinstall photoshop in this case to reinstall it????
Thanks a lot for any hints,
kind regards,
Jörg

Hello,
When you install any version of PSE <say PSE11>, the applications gets installed at (on 64 bit machines)-
Organizer: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
Editor: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Welcome screen: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Adobe Photoshop Elements 11
Note: On 32 bit machines, applications will be located inside Program Files instead of Program Files (x86).
Also when the installation is successfull, you will see the uninstaller present in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features.
As per your case, you are unable to uninstall PSE11. For doing so, download the cleaner tool from: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
Follow the guidelines listed on page. Once the clean up is successful, you can install PSE. I would recommend to install PSE using 'Run as Admin' (right click the setup.exe and click 'Run as Administrator'.
Do let me know if you face any issues.

    Hej!
    Organiziser in Photoshop Elements 9 will not start in Windows 8.1. Inkompartibelt programs.
    What to do?
    /yoel

    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.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 12 that was purchased for my Windows 8 system in July of 2014.  I have never been able to get the organizer to work.  I need help getting this portion of the program to work.  I would like to talk with an Adobe tech.

    How is it that I can download and use Photoshop Elements 12 program editor and not have access to the organizer???

    Hi,
    The two applications (organizer & editor) can work independently and only talk to each other when they need to.
    Are you updating from a previous version or is this the first?
    There are (at least) three ways of starting the organizer:-
    1) from the Welcome screen
    2) from the editor - see button at the bottom of the editor window
    3) directly using windows explorer to locate and double click on the following
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    [ignore the (x86) part if on 32bit system]
    Can you get any of those ways to work? Do you get any error message or does nothing happen?
    You could try creating a new catalog to see if that helps.
    Start the organizer (in any of the ways) with the Shift key held down while it loads (if it does). That should bring up the catalog manager
    Click on the New button (top right)
    Give it a name like Dummy or Test and click on OK - that should create & open a blank catalog

  • Can the iBook G4 support photoshop elements 6?  My operating system is upgraded to 10.5.6 but is not on pentium processor.

    Can the iBook G4 support photoshop elements 6?  My operating system has been upgraded to 10.5.6.
    Thanks, Sheila

    I just realized I need 64MB of VRAM for elements 6 and I only have 32MB.  Does that mean elements 6 would not be compatible?

  • Photoshop elements 13 will not initialize after the program has been opened

    Photoshop Elements 13 will not initialize after the program has been opened once.  If I remove Elements processes from task manager, Organizer will open  I am using Windows 7 and Elements 12 is also installed on the same computer.

    the password and licensing agreement are needed for installation, not to run.

  • 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

  • Photoshop Elements 9 will not install.

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 9 several times, and it does not complete installation. It loads about 80% of the files, then at the point of placing an desktop icon, the softwarw rollback. My operating system is Windows 7 64 Ultimate.  My computer system includes AMD Phenom II X4 810, 8 GB RAM, GeForce NVIDIA 9600 GT (IRQ 18) and GeForce NVIDIA 8400 GS (IRQ 19). I tried to disconnect the second graphics card - no help.  I have manually removed Photoshop Elements 9 from the registry and reinstalled - no help. The error status is 1603. When installing, I closed all Adobe software, anti-virus software, and Windows Firewall. I contacted Adobe customer service several times - no help.

    Hello Mylenium, I tried everything in the Error 1603 | Install site that you sent me. And, still the installation of the PhotoShop Elements 9 rollback and will not install. What is next? Thank you, Paul

  • Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 will not function.

    Edit function on Photoshop Elements 8 will not work.  Gives a crash message says to uninstall "inspirational" then download update.  done and still Edit does not function. ??????

    If PSE8 uses an Unwelcome Screen, 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.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

    Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch  (open)
    What going on ?

    You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
    And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
    Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

    What operating system are you using?
    What happens after you click on a photo and go to View>Full Screen?
    Does that happen with all your photos or just certain ones?

  • My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open.

    My recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 will not open. Clicking to open, will not reveal the usual “edit” or “organize” choice windows. Only the main “edit” working window opens. In a moment, a smaller window within will also open. It states “Photoshop Elements 12 Editor has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
    I am running it on a Dell laptop with six gigs of RAM and a Core i5 processor.
    Should I attempt to reinstall? During original installation, the only thing I was not asked was to give blood! So, if reinstalling on the same machine is the solution, will Adobe allow this?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    I have tried and failed.  It was loaded from disc just purchased at Best buy.  It loaded fine but will not start up at all.  I have looked for the launch program and tried other methods but no success yet.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 will not open

    Photoshop Elements 7 will not open.  Indicates an error message upon trying to
    open application in Windows Vista.

    Can you try some of teh trubleshooting steps at this link http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm.
    Also try this once:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works. Let me know your comments.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 is not responding

    I have downloaded Photoshop Elements 13 and when I go to extract files it almost completes and then it says Photoshop Elements 13 is not responding.  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
