Photoshop Elements 11 organizer stops working after about 15 minutes with windows 7??

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed preferences, removed preferences, added administrator priviledges with full control to several screens, turned over my screen to Dipanjan, Adobe Rep and still does exactly the same thing. Very frustrating! Anyone else getting this windows pop up screen " Photoshop Elements 11 organizer has stopped working" ?
If I don't resolve this soon, I'm going back to PSE 10 and I guess I'll just have to eat the money wasted on it.
Finally resolution!
Three separate days totaling about 8-10 hours of chat then another 3 or more hours in chat about this issue today with 3 different people. Finally got to Vijay, who said to:
click on edit in the organizer,
go to preferences,
click on media anaylsis,
uncheck all the boxes.
That did it!!! Less than two minutes, done!  No more problems. I can't imagine how much of Adobe's and my time and productivity was wasted going through all the laborious steps, often times repeating the same procedures when I got some one new, only to start all over again. 
Many thanks Vijay. You suceeded where so many others failed!
I sincerely hope if anyone else suffers this dilemma, this will instantly resolve it for you and avoid the extreme frustration and agony I went through.
Cheers!

Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

  • Photoshop elements 12 stopped working after swapping mainboard

    Hi everybody!
    On a Win 7 Pro PC the PSE 12 Photo Editor stopped working after swapping the defective mainboard.
    I tried uninstall and reinstall as admin, with disabled security software.
    We always get the welcome screen from where you launch organizer or editor, of which only the organizer works.
    Launching the editor directly from the application folder or from within the organizer fails too.
    Also the newest update installed, does not change this behaviour.
    I'd appreciate your suggestions!

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer stops working

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 and when I open the Organizer, I get a message that the program has stopped working and is going to close, while the Editor is still operational.  I uninstalled Elements 10 before my new installation.  How can I fix this?

    It might work but this is not a practical solution.
    I have many picture folders on my pc and several of these have AVC files.
    My intention was to use Photo Shop Essentials to edit my pictures. Unfortunately the "Organizer" app crashes when trying to work with my Catalog.
    I have narrowed it down to only happening when there are AVC files in my folders. I have seen others have this issue and I found the issue by what they recommended.
    Sadly if I am unable to get this to work with my current folders I will have to dump Essentials for another application.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer Stops Working due to Sony AVCHD files

    Hello I installed Adobe Photoshop elements and have been having trouble with it crashing.
    To solve this problem I deleted my Catalog and added a Catalog with only one folder.
    This folder has photos, in JPEG and Sony .ARW format as well as AVCHD files.
    I found that by removiing the AVCHD files from the catalog the SW would no longer crash.
    This really is not a practical solution since my PC has many folders with many AVC files.
    I am trying to see if there is a SW patch or another way to address this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop Elements 12 stops working a few minutes after starting the application

    I need technical support for this problem.

    This is definitely a Spaces/Mision Control-related issue - I disabled the keyboard shortcuts and the issue goes away. Of course this is not a solution as I need keyboard shortcuts to be productive.
    I think it has something to do with the control key being mapped to multiple functions. This issue cropped up for me only after upgrading to Lion. When I upgraded to Lion for some reason the left control key took on the same function as the "Application Windows" function in Mission Control (which is assigned by default to F10). I went into the Keyboard shortcuts settings and can't see where the left control key is being mapped so I can't remove it. I think for me this is the cause of the spaces keyboard shortcut issue - something in the system is grabbing onto the left control key function and fighting with Mission Control when I hit control-1 or control-left to switch desktops. When this happens the keyboard no longer responds to most keypresses and I have to kill the dock to restore functionality.
    If anyone else could confirm that their left control key is invoking the "Application Windows" function I think we can narrow down the issue and possible come up with a solution. Please report back and I'll do the same. Also, Apple, please take onus and address this issue as I believe it's not related to third-party software.

  • Photoshope Elements 11 Stops Working

    Photoshop Elements 11 stops working after it opens the organizer.  This is after I imported pics / movies from my cell phone which caused it to crash. Any suggestions?

    No.  The program stops working a few seconds after the Organizer opens up.
    The only reason I brought up importing photos is because this problem started after I tried to import photos directly from my cell phone.  The first time I tried to import photos from my phone, I connected the phone via USB.  Then I used the "Get Photos" feature in Organizer and selected the drive which showed up corresponding to the phone.  Unfortunately, I think it downloaded items that were not photos or videos.  It crashed during the attempt to import.  When the organizer opens up I have a few seconds to see my photos and there are a few that look like bar codes and rainbow colors.  I am concerned that the program downloaded files from the phone that are causing the problem.
    I searched through my photo folders looking for bad files but could not find any.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Elements an the problem persists.

  • Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working

    My Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working.  Error message; "A prpoblem caused theis program to stop working correctly.  Windows will clsoe the program and notify you if a solution is available.  How can I repair?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    -Check if AutoAnalyzer.exe is running in your task manager. End the task and try.
    try and let me know your comments.

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • Elements organizer stops working

    Why does my elements organizer stop running when I open it up?

    bigmoogoo
    As Hunt has already asked and which is very important to include
    a. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    But, you say only Elements Organizer, not including Premiere Elements nor Photoshop Elements?
    So, I will add these additional questions:
    What are you doing in the Elements Organizer when it stops working. Just opening it? Is this a "it worked before but now" issue or a "it never worked before" issue. Please detail.
    Once we get the basic details requested above, we can plan troubleshooting strategy which might involve:
    a. deleting the settings file
    b. creating a new catalog
    c. looking at what you have imported into the Elements Organizer or are trying to import into it
    But all is speculation without more details.
    Thanks.

  • After upgrading to 10.8.3 my Apple USB keyboard stops working after about 3 hours

    Mac Pro 3,1
    OS X 10.8.3 Server
    32GB RAM
    Apple USB Keyboard works fine after reboot (typing on it now), stops responding after about 3 hours.
    I see nothing in Console that looks like the culprit. Here is everything around the last time it happened - between 11:28 and 11:30 they keyboard just stopped working. Unplugging and re-plugging doesn't bring it back. Changing USB ports doesn't bring it back. Rebooting is the only thing that seems to work. Bluetooth keyboard works before and after.

    Hey Doug,
    Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your keyboard backlight is not working upon startup, the following may resolve your issue:

    After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:

    The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).
    You may also want to reset your computer's PRAM:

  • Photoshop CC 2014 stops working after less than 30 second and shuts down

    I have installed and uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014 three or four times via Creative Cloud and each time it stops working after less than thirty seconds and shuts down the program. I then installed a an older version of Photoshop CS5.1 from a CD and it works perfect. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 and Lightroom 5 installed from Creative Cloud and both work flawlessly. What can I do to get Photoshop CC 2014 working?
