Photoshop Elements 13 editor won't load

With no warning, I suddenly can't load the Photoshop Elements 13 photo editor. I can open the organizer, but nothing happens when I try to open the editor. I've tried to open directly and I've tried to open from within the Organizer. Nothing happens, No error messages, no nothing.
What could this be? It was fine two days ago.

Photoshop Elements 8 Editor won't load

I sucessfully downloaded PSE8 Trial onto Vista 64
I click on editor, check trial, click next....
"Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and nitify you if a solution is availuable.
Funny thing is Organize loads and works fine
Turned off TrendMicro Virus and still no joy....
Please help

See if the changing the default printer to a file-only printer helps, as described in solution 3:

If that doesn't help, try reinstalling with anti-virus completely disabled while you install. And if that doesn't help, I recommend working methodically through these troubleshooting steps:

Photoshop Elements 12 Editor will not load

all of a sudden elements 12 editor will not load. It freezes when it says initializing panels.
Any suggestions!!

Start the editor from its .exe or application file or from the button in the organizer, while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac).
Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

PLEASE HELP! Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 editor won't open!!

Hi! I'm new to the forums and to Adobe. So, I'm a little clueless about all this stuff.
WELL
everytime I click my Photoshop icon the welcome screen appears and the editor begins to load.
However, the screen doesn't pop up at all. Just the welcome screen. It just shows the Photoshop Elements editor's small window on the bottom of my screen. I click on it and the editor doesn't show up at all.
It did this a couple of times before. But, now the editor isn't showing.
My organizer works just fine, but I'm wondering if I can somehow open Photoshop's editor on the organizer?
If you could please PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME and reply as soon as possible! I would love to draw and color on Photoshop again as soon as I have fix this problem!
Thank you so much!

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and Editor and that will bypass the welcome screen and any advertising.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.
You can keep the standard Photoshop icon which links to the welcome screen but I prefer to delete it from the desktop. If you ever need to get to the welcome screen you simply click Window >>Welcome on the top menu when the application is open.

Using Photoshop elements 13 and windows 8.1. After one week, Photoshop elements photo editor will nit load. This occurred after I scanned in some large files. Is there a connection?

Not only will photo editor not load from organizer@@@@, it wont load at all on my computer. What happened? more importantly how do I fix it?

I've got things working now. The process I followed was:
1. Reboot in safe mode
2. Run Photoshop elements. It worked in safe mode.
3. Unplug the network cable
4. Restart in normal mode
5. Run Photoshop elements. It worked with the cable unplugged.
6. Exit out of Photoshop
7. Plug in the network cable
8. Now Photoshop seems to start up normally.
It seemed to me that the problem had something to do with license validation. In safe mode there's no network connection, which might disrupt validation. When I left out steps 3, 4 and 5, it still didn't work. After doing that once, it seems to work. If it stops working, I'll post another reply here.
YMMV.

Photoshop Elements 13 Editor won't launch

I've downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, which I've purchased. After completely installing and signing in with my Adobe ID, I'm prompted to accept the EULA again. After clicking Accept, the application closes and doesn't open.
I've uninstalled, rebooted and re-installed the application on my Win 8.1 64-bit system. I had downloaded the PSE 12 trial, which i've uninstalled as well. I know that something was not uninstalled, because after the re-installation I don't see the original splash screen prompting me to choose between the Organizer and the Editor. When I selected the Organizer, it would open fine. I changed the preferences to open immediately in the Editor, hoping that it would launch if that were its only option. This didn't work either. I also tried Adobe online chat support and they advised that they had no online solution to my problem and to post a question in the forum. There is also no phone support option for PSE. What do I do now?

You need camera raw 8.4 for your camera, if it’s Digital Rebel T5 EOS 1200D EOS Kiss X70. It is not compatible with PSE11; so it’s a bit odd if that software was bundled with the camera except that it will work with jpegs. I suggest you download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will editable in PSE11(keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.4
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Photoshop Elements 7 editor won't open

I have Photoshop Elements 7. The organizer, create and share tabs work fine but when I try to open any 3 of the editor modes I get the error message: Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.
I tried restarting my computer because I heard that someone was able to fix a similar problem that way, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Try this
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.

Elements 12 - editor won't load

Brand new, just got Elements 12 for Christmas. Have uninstalled and restarted. Organizer opens, but editor will not. The welcome page says my trial has expired. I assume that is for the free 30 trial for premiere, which I did not opt to install. When I click on the eidtor, the progress bars run and then stop and nothing opens.

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash:

Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer won't load

PSE 12 Organizer won't load. Only Editor will load. First time using it.

I have the same problem after upgrading to PSE12 about a week ago. I'm running Win7. When I try to open the Organizer, an error message says the catalog is in use by another propbgram. I uninstalled and deactivated PSE11, thinking the Organizers might be in conflict, rebooted, but no luck. Any ideas?

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor Won't Open

I have PSE 9, and the editor won't open (organizer will, but not editor). When I click "Edit" from the welcome screen, the welcome screen just disappears and nothing happens. I tried accessing the editor directly from the program files folder, and again, nothing happens . I tried right-clicking on photos and telling them to open in PSE. Nothing happens. No error messages or anything-- it just won't open.
It worked fine on my old computer in Windows 7, but I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 7, but that doesn't solve the problem. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Please help me-- this is driving me nuts! Thanks.

Yes, but the odds are that you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual editor is hidden away inside the support files folder for PSE 13 and the file at the top level of the Applications>PSE 13 folder is just an alias to the Welcome Screen. You really want this one:

Photoshop Elements 12 editor won't open.

I get the Adobe sign-in menu when I try to open it asking me if I want to buy or try a 30-day trial. I can open the Organizer (by going into the program files). I have been using PSE 12 on my MAC for several months--no problem. Do I need to reload the program? If so, how?

Did you install other programs or drivers since the last time your PSE12 editor worked? If so, did you try to restore windows with an earlier restorepoint which should be stored on your computer? You'll find info about restoring your windowsversion on the Microsoft website (for O.S. windows 7 look at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore). For other O.S. just google

Photoshop elements 12 dvd won't load windows 7

Hi,
When I insert other DVD's including Canon EOS solutions DVD, they load and install without issue. But every time I try my new PSE 12 DVD nothing happens. Should I try to download it and then insert the serial number? Thanks!

I have the same problem after upgrading to PSE12 about a week ago. I'm running Win7. When I try to open the Organizer, an error message says the catalog is in use by another propbgram. I uninstalled and deactivated PSE11, thinking the Organizers might be in conflict, rebooted, but no luck. Any ideas?

Why won't photoshop elements 12 editor launch/open?

No matter how I try to activate PSE12, through the desktop shortcut, through program files, through old Photoshop works I've saved, it will not start.
I've tried reinstalling it, but it still won't launch.
What's strange to me is that Premier Elements, which I also have, works just fine. I can access the organizer through there, see old Photoshop works, but be unable to work on them because the editor won't load at all. No prompt on screen. No 404 ERROR or something like that, just a loading circle that goes away after a few seconds.
I have Windows 8 and a brand new computer. Why is this happening?

I have the exact same issue, but nothing on my computer changed! Abode chat support twice now has refused to help me. First time the guy cut me off; this time they told me to come here. Looks like you have the same problem with no answer. Not a good way to run a company!
