Photoshop Elements 12 will not start

When I start elements 12 I receive the error message "Photoshop elements cannot start or continue because of missing file(s) Please reinstall" I have reinstalled the program twice and still get the same error. I have been using the program for a month with no problem and evrything else on my computer is working just fine. Thanks for any suggestions

Hi,
I meant create a new user account on your laptop. There are some settings that are stored on a per user basis so creating a new user may clear a setting.
However, that may not help in your case - I have been trying to help someone else and got your two problems mixed up.
The only reason that I had the editor fail before was resolved by running the disk cleanup and check tools.
As you have returned the product, you could try installing the trial version. If you get it to work, then you may be able to buy a boxed version from Amazon or similar. I'm not sure where you are but the boxed version can often be on special offer from the big stores at a cheaper price.

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not Start

    Hi, i'm usually quite responsible when it comes to making sure my system can coap with what i am asking of it, but i've ran into a problem that my computer just can't seem to get around, and means that photoshop cs4 will not start up.
    I've been making .PAT files from a few pattern sourcebooks i've recently brought. The first two went fine, but a japanese sourcebook contained 250 reasonably hi-res pattern images which i put through an automated action which set them all as patterns for me for the Pattern Overlay option in beldning options. When i did this i noticed my computer started to slow down near the end of the process, so i saved out the .PAT file from them, and quit photoshop to free up over 2.10GB worth of data. I have 4GB on a 32bit XP, but only 2 and a half-ish is seen by windows due to the hardware installed aswell. Of course i plan to chnage this to 64bit soon, but anyway, when photoshop now is told to start up, it reads everything normally, then gets to "Reading Preferences", and crashes with an error report, which watching my task manager, i belive to be linked to memory shortage from having to load the patterns up.
    I reset my preferences to see if it would set them all back to default and not read the added pattern files, but that made no difference. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!!

    I'd look into doing a couple of tests:
    1.) Move those PAT files elsewhere
    2.) Eliminate all programs and Processes, that are unnecessary. Task Manager>Processes will give you a list of all that load, and you can probably stop half of them with no ill effects. I'd use MSCONFIG, so you can go back and easily activate them later.
    3.) Reboot and see what happens.
    Note: John's suggestion on the Presets folder might address #1, but I'd also physically Move them. It sounds like you're running totally out of resources to run PS, so Textures, and such, might be an issue too.
    A question: how are your Scratch Disks setup and please tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. the internal HDD's, their size, free space, speed, controller type and how these internal HDD's are allocated. Especially tell us if you have any physical HDD's partitioned.
    Good luck,

    Did you download the Basic/Free version?
    I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?

    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.

  • Photoshop Elements does not start for the second time

    Hello,
    our customer has problem with PS Elements 12. He can start it for the first time and everything works fine. But when he closes the program and tries to start it again, it will not start. It doesnt even say anything. No error mesages or anything. He tried to instal a trial version of PS E 13 and it does the same thing.
    He's running Win 7 SP1 64 bit
    Any sugestions? Thank you.

    Hi,
    It has been known that the Welcome screen sometimes fails to close properly and prevents a second load.
    Most people have overcome the problem by creating a shortcut direct to the two main applications.
    Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"

  • Photoshop CS5 will not start after Outlook

    If I start Outlook (Office 2007) as the first application after loading OS (Win 7 Ult, 64 bit), Photoshop CS5 will not open (message: "needs to close down).

  • Why will my photoshop elements icon not start the program??

    I just downloaded photoshop elements, and it worked fine for the first 2 days. However, whenever I try to open photoshop now the program will not open! It says "do you want to run this file?" and I clicked "Yes" but then nothing happens! At the most the welcome page will pop up and I am able to open Elements organizer, but not photoshop! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the program and everything else the support page suggests. Anyone have experience with this problem?

    I'm not real computer literate. Might you know where'd I would find it?  There are 5 disks in the softwear, the first 3 are install files dependent on what Windows program is loaded. The last two say Content.   Thanks for your help!

  • Photoshop and premiere elements will not start

    If there has been an answer, I apologize for asking, I'm haven't gotten any answers from adobe chat and have reached frustration!
    I have photoshop and premier elements 9 on windows 7. They worked fine for about a year then both recently stopped working, they didn't open. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from the disk and they worked.
    A few days later, the same story. They stopped opening. I've only installed the programs on this one computer.
    I could reinstall again and see if that works, but I think there is a 2 computer license which I might have reached since I couldn't deactivate before reinstalling because I couldn't access the program. It also seems silly to reinstall every time I need to use it.
    All ideas appreciated!
    Anne

    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 13 will not start

    I know this is a common problem and I have tried all the solutions that I have found, such as uninstalling, reinstalling, renaming various folders/files etc but Photoshop Elements 13 will no longer start. The error message is: "Elements 13 Organiser has stopped working".
    It used to work perfectly and I have no idea why it stopped!
    I have managed to get 12 to run now (after a lot of installing uninstalling etc) but had to rebuild the catalogue, not a quick task.
    Any ides anyone.

    Thanks, Benjamin
    All my drivers are up to date but, thanks to you, I have now added my query to the correct forum!

  • Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

    The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?

    After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

  • After Successfull Installation of Photoshop Element 3.0 On Mac OS 10.6.8, Photoshop Elements does not start saying that personalization information is invalid or missing

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 3.0 from original disk on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8. The installation was successful. However, when I try to run Photoshop Elements, it does not start, with the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". I uninstalled Adobe Elements and deleted all Adobe files from both the System Library Preferences and from the User Library Preference. Then tried the installation again. The installation was successful, but the application fails to start with the same missing/invalid-personalization-information message.
    Please advise

    I am sorry Invalid Personalization but Photoshop Elements 3.0 requires a PowerPC processor or Rosetta installed in order to function.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    You may want to try following the steps listed at Mac OS X 10.6: If you need to install Rosetta to attempt to install Rosetta.  That may still not resolve your licensing issue however as the application was also designed for Mac OS 10.2.8 and 10.3.

  • I have mac 10.9 version.  Adobe photoshop Elements 12.  I just got a new camera Nikon D4S.  Photoshop elements will not upload/import my raw photos.  i get a message that can not complete my request because the file appears to be from a camera model which

    I have Mac version 10.9.  Adobe elements 12.  New camera Nikon D4s. I have uploaded DNG plug in 8.4. Tried to convert my raw photos and it still does not work. How can I upload raw photos taken with my Nikon D4S so that I can edit these photos?

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • Photoshop elements will not open

    My photoshop elements 10 and my phoposhop CS3 will not open at all they go to a black screen.Three days ago it opened. before that it had not opened for several days. Before the problem with it not opening, it would not load photos to edit them. I have tryed to look at the compatability, etc.
    I am afraid to delete and reinstall. When I look in my photos I do not see the photos that I have edited. HELP

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys and click Organizer. 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.
    Check for Task Manager and end the "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" file and then try.
    - Try launching Organizer directly from the exe with Admin rights.

  • Photoshop Elements does not start

    Hello,
    I bought and installed Photoshop Elements a view month ago and it worked fine. Yesterday I wanted to edit a photo, but it was not possible to do any changes to the photo, because the program crashed every time I tried. So I reinstalled the program and now it doesn't even start anymore. If I start it over the select screen (Organizer/Editor) it says "Photoshop Elements funtkioniert nicht mehr, es wird nach einer Lösung gesucht" and if I start the editor directly I get an error message: PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe - Einsprungpunkt nicht gefunden. Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" wurde in der DLL "MSVCR110.dll" nicht gefunden. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.
