Photoshop elements 10 taking 3 minutes to load

I am using PSE 10 on Windows 7 and Windows XP computers in a networked environment (Windows Server). Until recently the software loaded relatively quickly. Then all of a sudden it took 3 minutes to load.
The software loading sequence is like this:
Welcome to PSE 10 screen; Click Edit; Then Photoshop software appears to load; Click file to do something and an egg timer appears and it takes three minutes before the software has loaded. Once the PSE10 software has loaded it works fine.
Can you help?

Yes, the problem is the welcome screen. it's looking for photoshop.com and that doesn't exist anymore so it hangs up searching for it. Just don't use it. Go into the prorgram files and find the actual .exe file(s) for the editor and/or organizer, make desktop shortcuts for either or both and start PSE that way from now on.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.

  • Project taking 5 minutes to load

    Hi,
    I just publisehd a course with 190 slides. It has some short videos embedded and simple animations.  Althought the project loads fast on my desktop, it is taking 5 minutes to load over the web. My users are not gonna want to wait this long. Any suggestions as to what I can do to speed up the loading time?
    Thank you,
    Heloisa Kinder

    Try reducing the preloading % from 100% to something like 20%. Preferences, Project, Start and End.
    If that is not sufficient, you'll have to reduce the filesize.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Edit Screen won't load

    Photoshop Elements 10  Edit Screen won't load.  It was working fine, then I responded to an Adobe Update. It stopped working. I re-installed Photoshop Elements 10 for MAC from the purchased Disc. The organizer works but not the editor. The organizer is not able to call the Editor either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. I cannot get the editor to load it's editing screen or any images.
    I'm really stuck.

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 settings
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 paths
    repair permissions and try again.
    Note: In lion, that library is hidden. In the finder, click the Go menu and then hold down the Option key to make it appear.

    I own the businesses, so there are no restrictions. Even my personal page has the same problem. I've been working on FB for years with no access problems. Ironically, the problem started the day the FB IPO went public. At first, the "freeze" happened when I tried to view a photo. Now it happens virtually every time I try to do anything: view a friend's page, try to use "chat."
    I'm at a loss. I would view it as a blessing, except that too many of my "friends" and family only use FB to communicate. I'm afraid that's how the world is today, and we can't turn back the clock.

  • Photoshop CS6 taking a minute to load (Yosemite)

    Hi There,
    Recently Photoshop started taking over a minute to load - I figured the normal things might be a problem - Brushes / Plugins / Actions etc.
    So I removed everything, reinstalled PS and started adding back my brushes etc - and the load times decreased. Happy Days.
    Except that it only lasted 3 days before launching slowly again.
    A minute doesn't seem like much but it's interminable when you want to do a quick edit.
    This time I did a little more research and checked the amt3.log - and found a minute's gap between these lines:

    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
    Quit Safari if it’s running.
    Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
    Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion) or open the Library subfolder of your home folder (pre-Lion). Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Caches/Metadata/Safari
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Leave the Finder window open. Try Safari again. If it still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following file to the Desktop:
    Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
    Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies

    Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.

  • Photoshop Elements 2 Quits Half Way Through Loading ?

    I installed PSE 2 on my new iMac but when launched it gets about half-way through and then quits with an error message saying there is some sort of terrible problem.
    The actual wording is:-
    "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit".
    Is this a known problem with this old application ?
    It installed from the CD without a hint of a problem.

    Wow! You got yourself a great machine there, Ian. If mine wasn't just a few months over a year old I'd be tempted to go for a nice 24 incher myself .
    PSE4 is nowhere near as fast as PSE6 on our Intel machines. On my 2 GHz machine PSE6 boots up in 11 seconds whereas PSE4 did so in about 25. When loading up multiple pictures at a time PSE4 was pretty sluggish about it (I never actually timed it) whereas when I do that with 6 it does so in a flash. For instance I just now timed the loading of 6 color images and it did so in 3 seconds.
    And yes there are a number of new features with it but for me the speed and responsiveness over PSE4 make it well worth while. I do a lot of image editing and retouching and that's the reason I favor the quickness of response of the application. That said there are also some things that one has to get used to about the new interface. Here's a review about that:
    http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/03/25/adobe-photoshop-elements-6- for-mac-os-x
    It comes with a manual but I got myself a copy of "Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: the Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage which is far more comprehensive and much easier to follow. If you get PSE 6 I highly recommend that you get a copy of it also.

  • Photoshop Elements 8  The organizer refuses to load.

    All I get is an error message stating "Adobe has detected that the appilcation Elements Organizer has unexpectedly quit."
    I first encountered this error after trying to creat an album using Shutterfly.  Shutterfly seemed to "hang up" when calling in the photos.
    I contacted them and the suggested that I needed a new version of Adobe Flash.  After I uploaded that new Flash, the organizer quite working.
    I tried to uninstall and reinstall  Photoshop Elements 8 but that did not solve the problem.  I contacted Adobe but they indicated that Photoshop Elements
    had been update to version 9 and that I would have to Contract them to help with my problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to "fix" Photoshop Elements 8?

    Thanks for your response.  Let me know if you find a solution.

  • Firefox is taking 20+ minutes to load a page, why?

    This morning, when launching Firefox, I was asked to update to the latest version of Firefox. I accepted, and everything appeared to be fine. Then it tried to update my extensions, when I noticed it got "stuck" at about halfway through. I left it for 15 minutes, but nothing changed - so I hit cancel and launched Firefox. My homepage was taking an extremely long time to load, I expected it to be an internet connection issue - but pages load instantly on Google Chrome which I also have installed. I've uninstalled + reinstalled Firefox, deleted my profile, to no avail. I really would like to use Firefox again.
    The pages *do* load eventually, but they take around 20 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating. Even Google, which has always loaded quickly, takes 20 minutes or more, something must be wrong, can anyone help? I miss Firefox!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I cancelled an update halfway through.

    ^ That is an entirely different crash signature and also on a different platform (windows versus Linux), so replies wouldn't apply.
    That is a problem with Flash in Firefox 14:

  • PlayerMediaCore Taking Several Minutes to Load

    What's this PlayerMediaCore.prm that always hangs on startup? It seems 90% of the load time (about 2-1/2 minutes on my 3.5GHz quad-core) is taken up by this plugin. It has a vital-sounding name, so I'm not sure that removing it is a good idea, but it would be nice if there were a way to speed up the load times. Any ideas for improved loading time?

    Mark,<br /><br />Your theory about Cakewalk might be worth investigating.  VST plugins are usually installed in some shared directory (not sure off the top of my head, but probably something like c:\program files\common files\VST\), and Premiere will attempt to load them if it finds them.  <br /><br />One tip to see what's being loaded:  there's a 'plugin loading.log' files that Premiere generates during launch time.  It'll be in your user folder\AppData location (if you're on XP, this will be under c:\documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\ ; under vista, it'll be c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\ ).<br /><br />I've seen your other posts about terrible frame rates, so I'm not ruling out some problem with PlayerMediaCore.  The player plugin has some new component dependencies that are more particular about OpenGL support, so my inclination is that you might need a different driver revision for your graphics card.  I'd usually say 'get the latest', but it seems that that doesn't always cover it (I think I've read a few posts here where people actually backtracked a driver revision version to get things working.)<br /><br />What's your graphic card, and what drivers do you currently have installed?<br /><br />Cheers

  • Itunes taking 5 minutes to load - Windows 7

    For the last 2-3 weeks, when I click on the shortcut to load iTunes or if I connect my iOS devices to the computer, iTunes takes up to 5 minutes to fully open on my computer. It will show the outline of the program screen after maybe 2-3 minutes, and then it takes another minute or more to have everything display and be ready for use.
    I am currently not having this issue with any other program on my computer at this time.
    Any suggestions?

    I think 5 minutes is a very conservative estimate. Mine takes between 10 - 15 minutes despite me having done all the iTunes/Windows speed-up hints I've read about elsewhere. Once it is up and running, ticking some actions often sends it into another comatose state although my HDD light suggests it's doing something somewhere.
    All other Win7 applications and plug-in devices run fine on my PC - just iTunes behaves this way - and it used to work OK about a year ago when I first started connecting my iPad.

  • Photoshop Elements 11's Organizer slow to load Nikon NEF file thumbnails

    PSE 11's Organizer app is loading Nikon NEF file thumbnails very slowly in their thumbnail browser. Has anyone noticed this? Anyone has a fix?
    It's not my PC since thumbnails load quickly using Nikon's ViewNX 2 app.
    Thanks,

    Thanks,

    The Nikon software uses the embedded jpeg thumbnail in the raw NEF file. The organizer creates the thumbnail from a converted version of your raw file; that way the thumbnail reflects the ACR default edits instead of that of your camera setting. The thumbnails in the organizer are updated if you do any edit to the raw files.
    You can select a few images and run the 'update thumbnail' option to have their thumbnails created in priority.
