Photoshop Elements 10 is extremely slow to start

Photoshop Elements 10 is extremely slow to start. It needs three minutes after starting before any sign of the program appears.
Then another three minutes passes before the program will respond to a mouse click.
While the program is in use, the display frequently freezes at seemingly random times and is unresponsive for a varying period of time.
It has always been this way since installation.
I read in the community forums that starting the Photoshop editor directly with a shortcut will bypass the start screen and eliminate the problem. Tried it--it does not.
I also in the community forums that the program is trying to connect with photoshop.com which no longer exits. The fix offered was to disconnect from the Internet. This is not acceptable.
I will not be upgrading to a newer version as a fix (as someone suggested) unless it is offered without additional cost.
Is there any sort of work around if not an actual fix for this problem?

Sorry, I guess I should have said "One of the suggestions offered was to disconnect from the Internet." As it happens, that works. Not using the welcome screen does nothing.
With the Internet connected, Photoshop 10 needs better than 6 minutes to start up and be ready to use. Starting while disconnected from the Internet requires less than 10 seconds.
This is a work around, but it is not a fix. Temporary and unacceptable.
Uninstall, reinstall? Been there, done that, too many times.
I was hoping for something different that would either fix the problem or upgrade a faulty product for users who deserve better.
After the customer has purchased a product in good faith, what sort of business practice recommends that the user disable a product feature in order to use it?

Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none.

Photoshop cs6 running extremely slow on opening a file. have reset prefs and set type to none. have to force quit most of the time.

I'm experiencing the same trouble. Photoshop takes 5 minutes to open then runs fine.
I recently bought a new iMac AND updated to Adobe Master Collection CS6. My concern is that PhotoShop now takes 5 minutes to open. The Photoshop desktop pops up immediately, but the moment you click on a tool or try to open a file (no matter the size) results in the spinning wheel for five minutes before you can do anything. After that, Photoshop appears to work fine.
What I’ve done:
Ran Adobe updater
Reset Photoshop Preferences
Validated all fonts and removed any trouble fonts
Ran the font test
Set font preview size to none
Cleared the Photoshop type cache and system cache
Disabled Symantec Endpoint
Tried running with the GPU processor on/off and in basic
Tried opening Photoshop with optional third party plug-ins turned off (still took five minutes but this time I didn’t even get the Photoshop desktop view until AFTER the five minutes)
I’m wondering since I migrated the files form my old computer (and older versions of Master Collection) did something get corrupted.

Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start after replacement of the mainboard of the computer.
We uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it still refuses to work.
System is Windows7 64 bits

I have the same problem, does no one from Adobe look at this forum? I have done the mentioned things and nothing works. I am trying to get a project done and this very frustrating. I too should have gone with a Mac

I am running Windows 8.1 on desktop. When I exit Photoshop Elements 12, I can not start program again unless I do a computer restart. What gives?

I am running Windows 8.1 on desktop. When I exit Photoshop Elements 12, I can not start program again unless I do a computer restart. How can I fix this?

Hi,
Occasionally, the Welcome screen leaves a process running which prevents the second attempt to start the organizer or editor.
There is no fix but the workaround is to create shortcuts direct to the applications and use them each time.
Create shortcuts pointing to the following files:-
Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Please let us know if they work.
Good luck
Brian

Why is photoshop elements 11 so slow to load and shut down

it takes me at least 4-5 minutes to open PSE 11 Organizer each time, and then probably 1-2 minutes to shut it down. Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone have a resolution to this. I'm on Windows 7.

I had already shut off everything in media analysis, including face
recognition.

Photoshop Elements 12 - Very Slow Download

Hello,
Having purchased from the official Adobe website the Photoshop Elements 12 (Mac version), I cannot wait to download it and see it in real motion.
However, the download speed is so slow that after an hour of download, the download box still indicates approx. 8 hours 50 minutes until download completion; and moving 0.1MB every second.
Now, just tried to cancel download and restart again, but the speed is still exceedingly slow and starting all over again... The download is not likely to be an effective one based on how it is looking now and I am feeling very concerned that after many more hours of waiting and trying by myself, I would still be disappointed at the result. Therefore, I am earnestly seeking your support here.
I don't know if this is a global issue for all online download for Photoshop Elements 12 or it is just a stand-alone case for me. For your reference, I am using MacBook Air (OS X 10.9.4) with very good broadband internet connection.
Does anyone know a solution to this issue?   Look forward to hearing from you and getting the issue figured out real soon. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, Pat, for your great help.   The link has inspired me to download the trial version from the Adobe website and go from there:
"Adobe Download Assistant" was automatically downloaded before the download of the trial version began. With the "Adobe Download Assistant" up and running, the download of the trial version took within 30 minutes. I then got to enter the serial code of my already purchased PSE 12 right after installation of the trial version and completed the whole set-up process (without even opening or using the trial version at all).
It is rather counter-intuitive that one should start with a trial download even when he has gone straight into buying the product. It was as if the trial version was a bridge to facilitate the official download because the trial version provided the "Adobe Download Assistant". Maybe, it is expected that people would always take a trial before buying? Or maybe, it is expected that most people would already have the "Adobe Download Assistant" handy?
Anyway, I am glad there is a solution. In this case, I think the key is to get the "Adobe Download Assistant" which comes with the trial version. Hope this post will help others who might face the same issue too.
Many thanks again.

Photoshop Elements 11 : very slow startup

Hi
Here is a description of my problem:
I boot my machine.
I start Photoshop Elements 11.
It takes a very long time to get ready ( loading color settings and workshop modes )
I close Photoshop Elements 11 when I am done with my project.
All subsequent startups of Photoshop Elements 11 are very fast.
My question
How can I avoid the very slow FIRST startup of Photoshop Elements 11 ?
Can I pre-load the needed services (or whatever) when I boot my machine or when I login to my user account ?
Thank you in advance for your help

Photoshop Elements 5.0 doesn't start after reinstallation

On my Windows 7 system was PE 5.0 up and running. Due to a system error I needed to Recover the system and afterwards réinstall all programs, including PE 5.0. Th installtion went correct, but the prgram doesn't start I've removed all temp internet files, but that doesn't help. What do?

I didn't have the PSE 5,02 patch installed. But when I did, I received the following error message:
Setup cannot find Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0.
Please re-install Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 before applying this update.
Setup will be aborted..
I re-installed PSE 5.0 again (tyherefore I needed to delete my Temp internet files, before I coulkd install it). The installation seemed to be right, but I still can not strat the program (no error message) and I can't install the patch (same message)

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor Fails to Start?

Hey guys, Up until recently I was a Happy PS9 user up until a couple days ago when my PS9 failed to start. It appears with a message saying PSE9 has stopped working. I have tried deleting my preferences as well as reinstalling. however I do have the error log from windows here. I someone could tell me what is broken and how to fix it from this log that would be greatly appreciated. A quick response would be great also guys due to this being work related.

Thanks for posting the error log. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell us anything useful.
Yes, doing a system rollback can be an option, but not just yet.
The problem with games is that there is always the possibility that they overwrote system files used by other apps. Uninstalling those games would leave those system files missing. First try using the built-in MicroSoft System File Check utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
Run sfc with the /scannow option. It can take a while, so be patient. Even if it reports there were no files to be fixed, it really did, so reboot.

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 11 Organiser does not start from the welcome screen

Having installed Photoshop Elements 11(Windows 7) I cannot open the Organiser from the welcome screen. It can be opened via the Editor but few of the thumbnails are shown as pictures rather as empty squares. The situation does not improve with time but tends to get worse with pictures turning into squares. I have tried the tip with preferences but to no avail. I would be very grateful for some help. Best Regards Ian Tomlinson

Try pressing Ctrl+A (to select all thumbnails) and then refresh again (Edit >> Update Thumbnails for selected items). If that makes no difference you may need to regenerate the cache.
It may be worth rebuilding the thumbnail cache before re-installing. Click the menu:
Help >> System info to find the path to your catalog.
1. Close Organizer.
2. Navigate to C: ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog
3. Find the file - thumb.5.cache
4. Highlight the file and delete it.
5. Re-start Elements Organizer
6. Wait until all thumbnails have been generated.
N.B. ProgramData may be a hidden system file:

Photoshop Elements 10 download slow

I just bought Photoshop Elements 10 today and it has been downloading for almost 3 hours. It was almost done, then it started all over again. Is this normal?

If it is stuck at extracting this is usually due to selecting a folder which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have permissions to write too. You can either cancel the download and then reinitiate the download this time choosing the default download location of your User folder. Alternately you can use the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

Photoshop Elements 4 suddenly won't start up

I last used Elements on 7th July. It was fine. Since 21st july, it won't start - goes through all the brushes loading etc but then quits.
I have:
Removed all Adobe programmes, prefs etc using AppZapper
Cleaned up using Adobe's maccs3clean script
Repaired disk permissions (a huge long list there, why?)
Re-installed Elements 4.0 between some of these stages.
No luck! It still crashes at the same point. Could I try reverting to an earlier system state via TimeCapsule, if so how do I do that?
Or, re-install the OS (my Leopard version would be quite old now) and do a total update?
Advice very welcome,

Photoshop Elements 7.0 Slow to load pictures

When I open a picture, it takes several minutes to load. Is there something I can do to have Photoshop Elements 7.0 load faster?

If Adobe is interested in suggestions from customers, my strong recommendation is to change this so the startup time is not impacted by the ready availability of a particular printer. Adobe products tend to be among the most ponderous to get into gear and Elements is one of the worst. Anything you can do to speed it up would be greatly appreciated. A related suggestion is to not interrupt the startup process to force the user to decide whether she wants the editor or the organizer. Or at least have a default and a timer. The way it is now, if you start up the program and come back 30 minutes later, you have to then make a decision and wait another 15 minutes to use whichever option you chose. Then, if you are in the organizer and want to edit, you wait another fraction of an hour. This is on a computer where my other image editing programs take a few seconds to load.
In fact, my overall recommendation would be to combine the functions into one program. Thanks for listening.

Firefox 4 extremely slow at start up, Then after awhile it clears its cache automaticly then its speed up. Please explain whats happening.

Firefox would slow up when cache builds up. Especially at start ups. Extremely slow. Then a few second later it would go back to normal. Then when i check the cache. It has already been cleared automaticly. Can somebody please explain whats going on. Looks like it has something to do with Automatic cache management system. THank you very much.

You may want to just get one utility for now.
At this point, do you need a new graphic card? then you need to upgrade to Leopard. If your software and system won't be a problem regardless of compatibility great, but make sure. Otherwise, Snow Leopard will likely require lots more upgrades and updates.
But maybe doing an upgrade to Leopard and then test the waters with Leopard and Snow L. makes better sense.
Only the "Early, Early" 2006-7 1st Gen Mac Pros can run 10.4.11 (or at least install and officially supported).
The product pages have misleading information but you do need 10.5.7 for the 4870 which is your best graphics upgrade choice. The 3870 came out a year ago and requires 10.5.3+.
