  • Photoshop elements won't run, eula agreement error

    This week one of our users began experiencing a problem with using Photoshop Elements 5.0.  She knows the application worked fine on her computer a few weeks ago, but when she tried to use the program today she is being asked to accept or decline the user agreement.  Once she clicks "Accept" the program then gives her the error message below:
      "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements EULA agreement has been declined or is invalid.  The application cannot continue and must now exit."
    She clicks "OK" and the program exits.  What has happened?  Do we need to re-install?  We work in an environment where we have no administrative rights on these machines and so we are trying to avoid getting the IT folks to re-install since they could take a couple weeks.  Please help us figure out this problem.
    Thanks!!

    This is a recuring issue for me, most likely caused by a registry cleaner. I can go months - as many as six without that lovely greeting. I have found no other way to correct it other than a reinstallation.

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • Photoshop Elements won't access my HP printer

    When I click on Print, my HP Fax software is opened even though the printer is selected.  I reinstalled my printer software and still no luck.   The printer software is the default.   I see that others have had this problem but I haven't seen any suggested solutions for this.

    Thanks, that did the trick.

    This solution has been mentioned several times: The names of the printer and fax are too long.  In Windows, open the properties of each device and rename them to something like "HP Printer" and "HP Fax". Ken

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Photoshop Elements 2.0

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.
    Judy
    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • Photoshop Elements won't install on Windows 8

    First & foremost, I'm incredibly irritated that my Photoshop Elements 6 won't install on my new Windows 8 laptop. (I did the right thing: uninstalled from the old laptop before wiping the drive to get it ready for resale.)  And now, instead of getting true & real support from Adobe, I'm directed to a user Forum.  BS!  Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE consumer support!!!!  I will NEVER AGAIN purchase an Adobe product.  Of course, this is no slam against other Adobe users on the Forum - it's just that Adobe needs to take a stronger ownership  of its problems - they should NOT let all of us swirl around and find answers to their problems. 

    Photoshop Elements 6 is ancient software. It may or may not run under Windows 8. I am sure you could have paid for customer technical support for your issue, but it might be that you still would have been told that it was not compatible or that it was a untested combination. Adobe stops giving installation support on older versions after the new version comes out. If you post in the Photoshop Elements forum you may find other users that have or have not been able to install Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows 8. You were actually given great support to visit the forums, since our collection of users have much more experience than many people that work in Adobe Technical Support.

  • Photoshop elements won´t start

    Hallo Adobe Photoshop elements 12 won´t start. The editor does not start, the organizer has no problmes. I have reinstall the programm (sorry is english is not so good) because i had installed new hardware. (Mainboard, CPU, RAM). After restarting the systems the programm worked fine. After some days elements was only in trial-mode. First I irgnired it but then i deinstalled it an  reinstalled it on a new ssd. Installing and entering the CD-Key was no problem. Organizer launched without any problems but the photoeditor does not start. Log-Files are okay, no errors while install-progress. I did everything, reinstalling, using ccleaner and i tried to delete manuelly everything with "photshop elements" in the regestry (with new installation after that....).
    Running the setup und the exe as admin did´nt help.
    has anybody a solution for me or  a direkt link to contact adobe?

    try uninstalling, cleaning (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then installing.

  • Photoshop elements won't switch to the editor workspace from the organizer.

    I can't edit more than one photograph per session when using Photoshop Elements 10.
    When I first open up the organizer, I can select a photograph for editing and send it to the editing workspace.
    However, when I try to edit a second photograph in the session, the editing workspace won't load.  Even if I try closing Photoshop Elements altogether and reopening it, the editing workspace still won't load. 
    The only way to get the editing workspace to load again is to shut down my computer completely.
    This has only started recently, and I am unaware of doing anything to cause this problem.
    Has anybody come across this problem and how did they solve it?

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
    Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.

  • Photoshop Elements is already running...

    I recently upgraded to version 10 from version 7. After I exit, I can't start it again: it says it is already running. PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe appears in task manager; if I kill the process I can start it again, but this is not how it should work. Is this a known bug?
    Another problem is that Open Recently Editted File only shows 2 files, even though I've done hundreds. Under Preferences, Recent Open Files List is set to 10. Does recent have a time limit?

    I found this answered under "Photoshop Elements 10 won't open once closed unless computer rebooted" It is a bug; the work-around is to create a short cut to the editor exe. Apparently there is a bug in the launcher app.

  • Photoshop Elements won't create a file, edit a file or save a file...

    Hello all,
    I just bought an Epson 600 scanner which came with a copy of Photoshop Elements (v7, but that's another question for another day).  Was working fine for awhile (a few weeks) but now I'm unable to edit any files.  This is on an Intel Mac Pro running Windows 7 (natively, not in VMWare) with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM and terabytes of free disk space.
    Here's a sample sequence of events:
    1) Launch PE
         - Get selection screen for organize, Edit, Create, Share.
    2) Select Edit
         - Launches editing workspace normally
    3) Click File->Open
         - Get the file browser window with thumbnails (standard windows stuff)
    4) Click a TIF file (or a JPG file) and click Open
         - File browser window closes and I'm taken back to the editing view but there's no picture.  No sign that it did anything (all the menus that are greyed out when the editing screen is empty are still grey etc - including the File Save menu option)
    5) Try to drag a file into the editing workbench from windows explorer (either a TIF file or a JPG)
         - Same behavior - switches back to the workbench, but everything is still greyed out and the file isn't there.
    6) Try to create a new file
    7) Click File->New
         - New file dialog pops up asking me to name and size it
    8) Give it a random name and leave it at the default 6x4x300dpi and click OK
         - New file dialog goes away and returns me to the editing canvas, but it's still blank and all the menus remain greyed out
    I get the exact same behavior if I try "Open As" or "Open recently edited files" etc
    I AM running Symantec anti-virus and I've noticed some people mentioning that that can cause issues for Adobe, but turning it off really isn't an option.  So if there's some rule I need to set up to allow some background process to talk, that's fine but I can't just disable it to use PE.
    Is there any debugging log kept somewhere?  (I suppose I could check this site more thoroughly for that info)
    Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Try resetting the PSE preferences by
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
       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.
    try and let me know your comments.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't run, problem with Application Manager

    I've now got three Adobo Photoshop CS products on my MacBook Pro, the latest is CS6 which won't run.
    I own Photoshop CS3, I just happen to install the CS5.x suite today, which runs during the trial period (30 day, today is day #1).
    I then see that PSCS6 is out so I install that and get an error dialog.
    Adobe Photoshop CS6
    Adobe Application Manager, required to verify your license, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
    I go to that URL, run the new application manager and get that same dialog box when I try to run CS6.
    When I did the CS6b install it asked for my Adobe ID/password and I entered that and the install completed. So I'm not sure what's going on.

    Hi, Using OSX Lion...was getting the same AAM errors.
    I hope my "fix" is of help:
    During one installation attempt I noticed that it was using an Adobe Application Manager here:
    ~User/Applications/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
    It is version 6.0.236.0 and the installer deletes it after the install. The download page only has version 2.
    So during my last install attempt, I grabbed a copy of that OOBE directory -- to catch the support files -- before deletion.
    Did not work in user Applications folder, but when I copied it in the location of AAM 2, it works.
    The full location is as follows (I renamed the original OOBE folder as a back-up):
    HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager
    Authorization works, and software update seems to...however, uninstall can't use this method.

  • Photoshop elements 4.0 running in Windows 8?

    Hi, I have a computer that runs Windows 8 and just discovered that my old Photoshop Elements 4.0 program is "not compatible" I dont know if I should download it anyway and see what happens or what..? I hope I dont have to buy a new program. Though i'm sure a new version is better, I cant afford it right now. I was hoping to work on my kids 4-H club pictures before Achievement Day in June. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi cljbkth,
    Photoshop Elements 4.0 is incompatible on Windows 8.
    Please consider purchasing the latest version PSE 11.

  • Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.  I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
    I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers.  Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!  I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

    I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing?  How do I remove and install my own?  I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photoshop Elements won't start (Win XP)

    Some one tell me why i should not throw this program in the trash

    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below if restart does not fixes the problem.
    Solution 1:      1. Close Elements.  Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.     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.
    2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    3: Try launching with Admin account
    4: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    5: Try launching PSE Editor directly from .exe (win) or Editor app file (mac)
    6: Check once in task manager (WIN) or Activity monitor (Mac) to make sure that the Photoshop Elements Editor is not already running. If yes then kill the process and try re-launching.
    7: Make sure you have space available on your hard drive. For specification review here http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/tech-specs.html   Solution
    8: Re-installing with admin account.
    Hope you get it working.
