Photoshop Elements 4 randomly quit workingIw

Recently, I was working on Photoshop Elements 4 and had to hibernate my computer while I had to do a public relations event. When I got back and restarted Elements 4, it told me that I had an invalid address and could not open it.
I've tried everything I could think of short of reinstalling it (as I no longer have the disc due to a moving fiasco). I found a site that said Google Chrome was a potential problem, but I've had Chrome installed for over a year and never had a problem with Photoshop.
Is there anything I can do to fix my software, or am I stuck waiting for next year's Black Friday? I use Photoshop constantly with my job, so it's vital that I fix this!

In case there are no troubles for you installing it again after uninstall then try. Else download latest trial version of PSE and try using that. If that works then you can think of going with the same.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

    I believe I did yes.   So if I upgrade to PSE 13 will those filters work?

    created by Barbara B. in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussionIf the problem is with the Graphic Novel or Comic filter, those don't work in PSE 11 any version of OS X after 10.7, IIRC. For other filters, did you delete all your existing preferences on upgrading to 10.10?

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer quit unexpectly when accessing photos.

    Why does photoshop elements organizer quit when accessing photos?

    Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit >Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache which sometime becomes corrupted. Navigate to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\<Catalog name>
    Inside the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.

  • "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor quit unexpectedly." - HELP!

    Someone please help! I am so beyond frustrated...especially because it seems like getting to talk to someone on the phone is next to impossible. When I double click to open my raw files I get a message that says "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor quit unexpectedly." I have a Mac computer and I've never had this issue. I can open jpeg images in Elements. Please help! Thanks friends.

    If your program is Photoshop Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. Your thread somehow has gotten posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    Please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    It might be quicker if you just re-posted.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 quitting unexpectedly.

    Hello all I have photoshop elements 8, and it has been working perfectly for about a year or so. However, no when I try to open it, it says it has quit unexpectedly and a large 'Problem Details and System Configuration' log comes up, saying something about bad access, etc.
    The only tampering I have done is adding a brush pack, which I have done tons of times, and this 'crash' only happened a few months after I downlaoded my last time. I did nothing different before it happened.
    I am using a Macbook Pro, the program came with my Bamboo Pen and Touch, I have tons of free space on my computer, and everything runs fast, so it was never slow or anything.
    I have the serial, but I have lost the disk, so if I could get access to a trial version, perhaps I could 'redownload' which usually fixes problems like this, I believe.
    Thanks for all and any help. If anyone asks, I can provide the log type text.

    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: Remove any third party plugins or brushes you have installed and then launch.
    Solution 5:
    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.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 quits with OS Lion

    I am having trouble running Photoshop Elements 8 with OSX Lion. Any time I ask for "help" of any kind, the program quits. Anyone know a fix?

    That sounds like a question for Adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 quits unexpectedly when opened; reinstall didn't help

    It won't let me post the cache so here: Process: Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor [817] Path: - Pastebin.com

    Try trashing the prefs.
    Quit Elements.
    Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following folder/files:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Settings

  • Photoshop Elements 2 Quits Half Way Through Loading ?

    I installed PSE 2 on my new iMac but when launched it gets about half-way through and then quits with an error message saying there is some sort of terrible problem.
    The actual wording is:-
    "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit".
    Is this a known problem with this old application ?
    It installed from the CD without a hint of a problem.

    Wow! You got yourself a great machine there, Ian. If mine wasn't just a few months over a year old I'd be tempted to go for a nice 24 incher myself .
    PSE4 is nowhere near as fast as PSE6 on our Intel machines. On my 2 GHz machine PSE6 boots up in 11 seconds whereas PSE4 did so in about 25. When loading up multiple pictures at a time PSE4 was pretty sluggish about it (I never actually timed it) whereas when I do that with 6 it does so in a flash. For instance I just now timed the loading of 6 color images and it did so in 3 seconds.
    And yes there are a number of new features with it but for me the speed and responsiveness over PSE4 make it well worth while. I do a lot of image editing and retouching and that's the reason I favor the quickness of response of the application. That said there are also some things that one has to get used to about the new interface. Here's a review about that:
    http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/03/25/adobe-photoshop-elements-6- for-mac-os-x
    It comes with a manual but I got myself a copy of "Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac: the Missing Manual" by Barbara Brundage which is far more comprehensive and much easier to follow. If you get PSE 6 I highly recommend that you get a copy of it also.

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro and every time  I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 quit unexpectedly.

    Has any one had trouble opening Photoshop Elements 9 with the new MacBook Pro?

    Okay, then you have made a whole bunch of trouble for yourself. First, download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    and then you can manually remove as many bits of PSE as you can find. Not only the application itself, but also in hard drive>library>application support>adobe. And go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything there pertaining to PSE. That library is hidden. To see it, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
    Then go here to download the installer and install it from scratch. You can never move an installed copy of PSE (except for the app store version):
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7

  • Photoshop Elements 11 quits

    Windows 8
    Uninstalled and reinstalled twice
    Go to open organizer, it loads until it tries to read the catalogue, then it just quits.  No error message, no nothing, just disappears then I can't open it at all (click on the icon and nothng happens).  I thought that maybe the catalogue was corrupted but I can't find it and all the instructions I found online require Photoshop to boot fully to access it.  I did a system search for *.psa and it didn't find it.  I uninstalled, reinstalled, SAME thing happening.

    Please refer to Organizer section of the blog: http://tinyurl.com/afrvtk3 and let me know if it resolves the issue.
