Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch

I get the message Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
I've tried suggestions on the web, and have got it to reopen such as holding down shift and CRTL at the same time as launching it, that worked once. I then make the mistake of closing the program, and then it won't relaunch.
I've turned off my virus program, and it opened once. And then I closed it like a dummy.
I've rebooted.
Now, I'm stuck and have a deadline to meet.

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.

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.

Photoshop Elements 4 will not launch

I have installed Photoshop Elements 4 on my MacBook. Photoshop Elements 4 is a PowerPC app. (not Universal). From what I've read, it should open with Rosetta. But every time I try to open it, I get an error message: "The application Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly." I've uninstalled and installed several times.
I've tried going to File>Get Info so see if I could make this PowerPC app open under Rosetta, but that choice is not available under "General".
Is there any way I can use this non-universal program in my intel-based Mac?
I guess what I'm really asking is whether Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac (PowerPC) is supported by Rosetta (since it's not a universal application). If it's not supported, I suppose that means I can't use it on my intel-based MacBook.
Thanks for the help.

I have had PE 4.0 running on my MacBook Pro 17" for about a year. Two days ago I tried launching PE 4.0 like normal and it fails. On the advice of Apple I tried creating a new account. The error message on install says a file is missing. It does not say which file. Installation continues until completed but PE 4.0 will not launch. I also trashed absolutely every Adobe file I could find, including preferences, repaired permissions, etc., reinstalled PE 4.0. Still no joy. I am running 10.4.9 with the last update about two weeks ago. PE 4.0 would lanuch and run fine until two days ago. Any suggestions?
Thanks...

Any fix for why my photoshop elements 12 will not launch?

Hi - had to get new computer after old one died... reinstalled (twice) Photoshop Elements 12 and now it will not launch. When I click on icon, the first screen open allowing me to select between the Organizer and Editor. When I click on Editor, nothing happens... never launches. Seems this has happened to others, anyone know how to fix?
Thanks!!

Did you ever use Help> Sign In to activate it? Both entering a serial number and signing in are required (once signed in you don't ever sign out unless you want to deactivate the software).
The advice here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452533?tstart=0 - should allow the software to restart so that you can activate it.

Edit function of Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch, suggestions?

When the "edit" buttion is selected it simply times out/resets itself and will not launch the application however, the organizer still seems to be functioning.

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 any longer in VISTA

I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem. It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista. We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work. We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch. Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
Any help out there?
Thanks, Dean

What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch

I have Photoshop Elements 8 on my Sony Vaio (windows 7 Home Premium 64bit). Whenever I launch it a License Agreement pops up and when I accept it
the software does not launch. There is no application open in my Task Manager.
I thought I would uninstall it and reinstall it but when I go to My Products page in Adobe I can see Photoshop Elements 8 as a
product in use but I cannot download it.
I installed Photoshop Elements 11 Trial version but have the same problem.
Please help

If Organizer fails to launch, try following steps –
- Delete the Organizer preferences. For that, go to Start>Run>Type %appdata%. In the launched folder, browse to Adobe>Elements Organizer>11.0>Organizer- Delete the file psa.prf and status.dat.
- Try re-launcing Organizer.
Or
It could be that your catalog got corrupted.
To fix that, hold down your Shift key while launching the Organizer. This would open up the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog at the bottom of the window, and choose "Repair" and then "Optimize".
If that does not work either, try renaming the following folders and then try launching the application again:-
1) Online Services
2) Elements Organizer
These folders are present at :- C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Hope any of these work for you.

Photoshop Elements 12 will not launch after installation.

I've installed Photoshop Elements 12 to my IMac that has 4 GB memory with Mountain Lion. But after various attempts (loading it on Safari, Chrome), am unable to launch it. Adobe says it has something to do with hidden libraries. From a DMG, I select install, it requests password to log on. All the icons flash off. And nothing happens. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks.

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.
