Photoshop Elements 2.0 and Windows 7

I had been using Elements 2.0 on a Windows 7 OS for a couple years without issue. Suddenly a couple months ago it stopped working. I think there may have been a Windows update, but I am not sure. I tried the suggestions on the forum by changing the compatibility settings and the virtual disk space but nothing helps. It doesn't open at all now. Any suggestions? It is frustrating because I prefer the 2.0. I have updated versions, but they are much "clunkier"!

The first thing that comes to mind is resetting the pse 2 preferences by going to:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\Elements\Photoshop Elements 2.0 Prefs
and dragging the folder Photoshop Elements 2.0 Prefs to the recycle bin.
Then start pse 2 and see if that works.
Make sure before trashing the above folder photoshop elements 2 is not running.

I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista. when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes. the cursor won't enter. same thing with resolution. what did i do? what's wrong?

The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
and click yes in the dialog.

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Compatability. Photoshop Elements 1.0 and Windows XP SP 2

I've just ordered a new Dell computer running Windows XP SP2(160GB hard drive ,1GB RAM). Will my Photoshop Elements 1.0 work on it? I prefer not to upgrade if I don't have to.

PSE 1.0 will definitely run on XP S2, but didn't I see a post from you somewhere else now asking about Media Center? You might have to experiment and let the rest of us know.

Photoshop Elements 4 & 5 and Windows Vista

I'm thinking about getting a new laptop. All of them come with VISTA at this time. Will I be able to run PSE 4 on a VISTA laptop?
Will PSE 5 run on VISTA?
Lloyd Erickson

Lloyd,
The programme issued a message stating it couldn't find the file and suggested I should reload the programme. I inserted the Elements disc but Windows repeatedly asked me to insert Disc 1.
I found the dll file by doing a search.
I'm sorry to say that Vista is a pain in the you know what re compatibility issues and I cannot run some of my unsupported programmes on it!

Any article that says you can't run a program in Windows 7 that ran perfectly well in Windows XP or Windows Vista is suspect in it self and should be tossed out of your open window quickly.
Windows 7 is not any different from XP or Vista except that security is much better and the GUI is better but is all XP and Vista behind the hood. I am running some DOS programs in Windows 7!!! Now this must be magic!!

How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before). It says the serial number is invalid. Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

You are allowed to have two activated installations. If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?). Talk to Adobe support thru chat. They might be able to resolve this with you:

Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna

PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.
Cheers,
Neale

Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting

Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting. Has to be shut down by Task Manger. Task Manger shows that it is still using some CPU. Ran Procmon (part of Sysinternals) which shows that it is in a loop. Stack trace shows it is executing code in AMTValidateProductLicense.dll. Started happening about a month after I installed PSE. Everything used to work fine at first. Have tried going back to an old image of Win 8.1 on a different hard drive, otherwise same computer, and installed PSE 13 from DVD. That installation never worked, it aways hangs. If I do a clean boot, it sometimes runs long enough for me to click on a menu item and then hangs the same way. And, yes I bought a new DVD to run on this computer, never been used in any other way. Any ideas how I can get PSE running properly?

It really doesn't look like a licensing issue, it seems to be code in the area of license validation that isn't working.
I took your suggestion and initiated a couple of chat sessions with support, but so far still no luck. The latest session with Neeraj seemed to be promising. After some investigation he asked to reinstall. First he uninstalled with Revo Uninstall, which seemed to be pretty thorough. That required a restart, so he set things up to restore his conference session and took my phone number. Unfortunately I guess his connection didn't come back. When I didn't hear from him after a couple of hours I tried installing Photoshop and Premiere myself. As before, Premiere works and Photoshop doesn't. When I start Photoshop, the window opens and for a couple of seconds menus open when I click on them. Then the window freezes and I have to use Task Manager to kill it. So basically, I've tried several things but I'm back where I've been all along, I can't get Photoshop to work. I'd really appreciate suggestions about something else to try.
I wish someone at Adobe was interested in the Process Monitor traces I've made, because I'm sure someone who knows the code would be able to figure out pretty quickly what's happening. Is it trying to read a file that's not there, failing to write a file, failing to make an internet connection or what? It really shouldn't be this hard to figure out.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatability with windows 8?

Hi, Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere elements 11 if I have windows 8? i.e. is Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatabile with windows 8?

PSE 11 and Windows 8 and/or Outlook 2013 have several reported bugs. For example Outlook 2013 and PSE 11 are incompatible because all features (for example Photomail) do not work. Adobe will not support Outlook for email. The user community is unsure of whether it is an Outlook or Windows compatibility problem - but it something!
