Photoshop Elements 11 wont launch

I have installed photoshop elements 11 from disk, but it will not launch. I open it and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no change. I have run as operator and I have troubleshoot compatibility issues the only clue I got was no Gdiplus.dll file, but there is a file of this name in the elements 11 folder. I am running Windows 7.
Can anyone help?

It's a windows file having to do with graphics rendering. There are several places to download it online but since I don't know which are legit I'm not going to link to any.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 wont launch in Vista

    I recenly installed Elements 12 on Vista (ater numerous failed attempts) but it wont launch. Any solutions?

    Any error messages?
    Can you launch the individual executables (organizer / editor)?
    What happens if you right-click an image and select Open With> Photoshop Elements Editor?
    Did you disable your anti-virus / firewall during installation?
    What happens if you right click the shortcut and select 'Run As Administrator'?

  • My new photoshop elements 13 wont launch. HELP!!!!

    I recently installed elements 13 on my computer and when I try to launch it, it asks me to sign in, then asks me to agree to the terms, and then when I click agree it disappears and nothing happens. I cannot get it to launch. Please help!

    Hi,
    Please try out following steps and see if it helps:
    Enable the (Hidden) Administrator account on your computer. See Administrator account for more information.
    Sign out of your current user account and log in as the Administrator.
    Launch Photoshop Elements Editor and log in from the sign-in screen, using your Adobe ID.
    If the editor launches successfully, disable the (Hidden) Administrator account you created in Step 1. See Administrator account for more information on disabling an account.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Wont Launch Organizer

    I am ready to pull my hair out. I can no longer access my photoshop elements organizer. I have tried pressing ctrl alt shift with no luck.......Nothing happens. Please Please help.

    Found this from John`s blog (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#Reset_the_Organizers_online _services). Please try.
    If a photo upload to an online service like Smugmug or Flickr fails, the Organize may then crash every time you try to restart it.  Reinstalling has no effect. 
    To troubleshoot this, start the Organizer and let it crash. Then check the contents of the file:
    PSE 6/7, XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\v.0\Organizer\log.txt
    PSE 6/7, Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\v.0\Organizer
    PSE 8, XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\v.0\Organizer\log.txt
    PSE 8, Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\v.0\Organizer
    Replace v with 6, 7, or 8. You may need to configure Windows Explorer to view hidden files.
    If the last line is:
    Initializing OLS
    then you’ve been struck by this bug. To work around it, see this Adobe tech note:
    PSE 6: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405252.html
    PSE 7: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408913.html
    The PSE 7 tech note also applies to PSE 8 – replace 7.0 with 8.0 in the folder name it says to delete.

  • Premiere Elements 11 wont launch on my MacBookPro

    I installed Premiere Elements 11 today and it wont launch.
    The launch window doesn't get past:
    Loading SmartSoundAdobePlugin.bundle
    before I get the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 quit unexpectedly; report.
    I click re-open and the problem persists.

    I have re-installed twice and received no installation errors.
    Would appreciate any tips on what I am doing wrong.

    Good on you Steve,
      and thank you.
    In addition to following your two tips, I came across some additional information related to fonts. I validate the font library and reloaded it. I was then able to open Premiere Elements 11; SonicFire plug-in still didn't work.
    I found some information in the forum on a related SonicFire patch - installed the patch and everything is working fine. Turned on Retina display and life is good.
    You're worth your weight in gold - thanks again.

  • Adobe photoshop Elements 12 Editor - launch problem

    Hi,
    Can anyone help!
    I downloaded adobe photoshop elements 12 editor.  When I open the application the page goes straight to 'create' (ready for editing) I looked up some tutorials and noticed that the first page should launch with an option to 'Oraganise' Or 'Create'.  This page does not appear for me! ?  I have no way of importing/organising my photos into the Elements Library. I do not HAVE a library!
    I can import my files straight from the DS card in RAW, but it takes a long time to search for each individual photo that way. Can anyone help?? 

    If you can launch the editor after a re-start go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> General
    Click the button to reset preferences on next launch. Close the editor and re-open again.

  • Photoshop elements 12 wont open

    pse wont open it says I dont have internet?

    I have the same problem with the full version (12.0) and installation yesterday (and today!!!). Downloaded the installationfiles with Akamai Download Manager. After installation, the shortcut wasn't linked to any executionfile in the installationfolder (e.g. Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe), so i get a warning to look for the exe-file by browsing my computer. Reboot computer and try to re-install by clicking the "setup" redirected me to "uninstall". While uninstalling i get the message " specified path is empty" and the program refers to the online adobe troubleshooter. I tried all the given possibilities mentioned there, deleting temp files, installing as administrator, adding Adobe Support Advisor .. even a "clean windows startup" didn't work.
    The only way to let my setupprogram work again (no uninstall-screen this time), was to go into the register and delete all the keys and values from PSE 12 (which I wouldn't recommend for anone who doesn't have a clue of what their doing). To be on the safe side, I decided to install the "trial"-version. Downloaded the file from the Adobe website and believe it or not, this time giving me a fault message about "Shared Technologies"
    Next try was to install the trial version of PSE 12. the idea was to install that first and activate it afterwards with the serial number given when i bought PSE 12. This time i get a fault-message about "Shared Technologies" and the installation was reversed ... otherwise said "NO GO" and no files installed.

  • Photoshop elements 10 wont open

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  I can't get it to run or open or anything.  Sometimes there is a quick flash but usually it will not do anything

    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. For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743
    Solution 5: If installed any third-party plugin remove it and try launching
    Solution 6: Launch from exe directly with admin account. Navigate to this file c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe - right click and select run as administrator.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop Elements Installer Wont Open

    Hey all,
    I just downloaded the adobe photoshop elements trial. After it had finished downloading i double clicked the only file that downloaded to run it and it would not. In the properties window it says it is a "File" and nothing else. Also in the description it says "Adobe Extractor" but it wont run. When i try to it just asks me what program do i want to use to open it.
    Help would be appreciated,
    Thanks
    PS: I have attached a screenshot of the properties window.

    Nevermind it turned out to be a simple fix, i just added ".exe" to the end of the file name.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 wont start

    Hi
    I've successfully been using Photoshop Elements 7 for some time now, but have recently downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9). The installation was successfull - no errors. When I started PSE9, the welcome screen started fine, I selected the organiser. The familiar organiser started - then before it completed its load, it crashed and returned me to the Windows desktop.
    Looking through the forums, the advice was to ensure underlying software (Apple, Mircosoft etc ) is OK....done that, still would not start. Have also de-installed PSE7 and Premier Elements 7, cleaned the register, renamed the PSA file......still nothing - the organiser wont start.
    Finally, I've started the editor - that works fine.....however, the organiser still wont start from the editor.
    Help appreciated
    Graham

    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.  (The documentation says that Optimize merely optimizes the performance of your catalog, but some people have reported that it also enabled catalog conversion to proceed after they initially encountered errors.)
    If repairing the catalog doesn’t help, repeat the steps above, but instead of clicking Repair, click New to create a new test catalog.
      If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works correctly, then there’s likely something about the old catalog that is corrupted in some other way.
    try and let me know your comments.
    Thanks,
    Garry

  • Photoshop Elements 2.0 launches Script Editor

    When launching Photoshop Elements 2.0 today, the icon in the dock changed to a blank file icon and the Script Editor launched. The icon in the application folder did the same.
    I trashed the Elements application folder and reinstalled with the same result, three times.
    I repaired Permissions and restarted before and after installing.
    I have launched every other application on the machine without incident, so it seems confined to Photoshop.
    The same thing happened to the backup copy of Elements on the external drive connected to this machine.
    The only change since last using Elements successfully is the installation of Machacha, which splits and joins video files. I also trashed it as part of my recovery effort, to no avail.
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

    Sometimes out of the blue, for no evident reason, Finder/LaunchServices stops recognizing programs that end with a dot and a number as programs. I suppose one could try to discover why, and fix it, or you can just use GetInfo to change the application name from "Photoshop Elements 2.0" to "Photoshop Elements2.app"--which is easy to do and so far has always worked.

  • Newly installed Photoshop Elements 3 not launching - help!

    Hi there,
    just installed Photoshop Elements 3 on the new G5 iMac - both bought a couple of weeks ago from Apple store on-line.
    Installation of PE3 seemed to go ok.
    But double-clicking the application makes it blink a couple of times in the dock, and then nothing. Tried removing and re-installing a few times..but the application never launches. Any thoughts as to what I can do to fix this?
    Is this an issue with Tiger or with PE3? Or incompabability between the two?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    iMac G5 20" 2.1Ghz 1.5Gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    iMac G5 20" 2.1Ghz 1.5Gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hi there,
    I recently transferred my old files + apps across using migration assistant from the old iMac (which had been running OS X 2.8 Jaguar). When I first tried to install PE3, immediately after insertion of the disc, a Norton anti-virus disc checking screen came up and tried to check the disc. I cancelled the scan, and carried on the installation. When PE3 wouldn't launch, I figured it might be something to do with the anti-virus software. The Norton stuff was installed on my old machine - but I didn't want to use it for the new mac as I heard bad things about it. I couldn't figure out how to remove all the Norton software, until I came across some good advice in another area of the discussions. I have now successfully removed all Norton files from the iMac. However, despite trashing the PE3 app that wouldn't launch, and then installing it again, I still can't get PE3 to actually launch. Neither from the dock, nor from the applications folder. It just moves up and down once in the dock, and then does nothing. Deleting from the dock, and then launching from applications, the same thing happens, the PE3 symbol appears in the dock, moves up and down once, but then disappears.
    Very frustrating. I know the application works well with Tiger, as I've seen it in the Apple store in London... so there must be something I'm doing wrong...
    any more thoughts?

  • PhotoShop Elements does not launch

    I purchased PhotoShop Elements; did not download the trail version.  It worked nice; I liked it.  I then had to do a system restore unrelated to Photoshop.  Afterwards, I re-installed PhotoShop.  When I launch PhotoShop I have the option to select the Organizer or Photo Editor.  I can't launch either; a message appears that says my trial has expired.  I have spent 3 hours with Adobe tech support and they could not get it to work.  I was told if I still had the issue, call tech support again...this isn't exactly tech support.  They also told me that re-installing this software will cause it to NOT launch.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Maybe someone out there has and found a solution that will work for me.  Thanks!

    Good day!
