Photoshop Elements 5.0 Organizer suddenly does not open

I've been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 for over a decade without any problems.  Suddenly, the Organizer will not open.  I can open the Editor but not the Organizer.  What the ---- ????

Thanks for replying with a potential solution.  When the Welcome Screen comes up, I tried holding down the shift key as I hit the Organizer icon.  That doesn't seem to do anything.  The program starts to load - I see the status comments showing the various steps.  But then nothing happens - nothing opens.  Do you know any other way that I can get to the catalog manager??
Also - if I reinstall the software or upgrade to the latest version of Elements (in order to fix this problem) will I be able to retain all the tags that I've attached to my photos?  I have thousands of pictures categorized and tagged and it would take me years to try to find and retag all of the pictures.
Any insight you can provide is much appreciated.

    Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

  • Premiere Element 13 The progress bar on the lower right for Indexing has frozen and when asking to open a video file in the organizer, Premiere does not open.

    The above says it all.

    I can't really answer you first question. What has happened is: when I moved an mpg file from my assets to the movie (I have added already a mpg file in the first part of the movie) a message box appears telling me the file is being "indexed" and then this Indexing progress appears in lower right of screen and it processes up to 99% and then freezes. The file appears in the time line, but the frame appears that says "media pending" and then nothing happens. I can go into the Widows media player and the mpg file plays okay, with audio. That is best I can tell you.
    Though I did not say this earlier, when I try to open this mpg file from the Organizer, Premiere does not open.
    My operating system is Windows 7 on a Dell computer with lots of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive.
    Properties of movie file
    These properties are the same as a file I already inserted in the timeline.
    I look forward to your help and thanks..

    you probably should have two files, an exe and a 7z file in the same directory.  if so, click (or double click) the exe.
    if that fails, what files(s) (name and extension) and file size(s) have you downloaded?

  • Downloading a Photoshop Elements Mac trial - download/install does not start

    I am attempting to download Elements 10 trial on a Mac Book Pro.  I have turned off my pop up blockers, firewalls, third party blockers, etc...  I downloaded the assistant and once it installs nothing happens.  It disappears out of the dock without downloading Elements.  I tried to download AIR as well as it stated that it may need that downloaded before the assistant could work.  Same thing happened.
    Thank you,

    Invalid Checksum error appears if the download got corrupt which could be due to a bad or slow internet connection.
    You could try temporarily disabling Error Checking. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4370247#4370247 to see out how.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I woudl recommend using a different internet connection to download again..

  • Photoshop CS6 suddenly does not open a tif-file

    ... which I just created in the same Photoshop CS6 half an hour ago. The error message when opening says: "Der Vorgang konnte nicht ausgeführt werden, weil diese Datei nicht mit dieser Version von Photoshop kompatibel ist." (could not open because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop). The tif-file has more than 10 layers and is about 150 MB big. There was absolutely no error while saving the file in the first place. I already tried opening in 64 and in 32 bit version.
    How can this be and how can I get back or repair my file?
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Try opening it in another program like CorelDraw or a simple image viewer like IrfanView.

  • I can install Photoshop Elements 12 but why can I not open the Editor?

  • MAC Photoshop Elements 4- Making Text Smooth Does not work?

    I have tried to search the forums and help maual, but to do avail so I am adding another topic, Although I have anit-aliased on, the text still seems fuzzy, what can I do?

    Did you resize the image after adding the text? Or use the move tool to drag the text larger after simplifying it?
    If not, try deleting prefs: quit PE, then restart while holding down command+shift+option. Say yes when you see the dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings. This won't help existing text, but if there was something wrong with the text tool it should clear it up for new text.

  • Adobe PE 4 suddenly does not open

    After working with Adobe PE4 all afternoon with no issues I suddenly get the messsage "could not import the clipboard because of a problem parsing the PICT".  Now I cannot even open the application.  Anyone know why?  I'm on a mac running OS X.5.7.  Thanks for any help.  I have an urgent job to finish!!

    Try copying something small (like a word) into your OS clipboard. Does this clear it for you?
    If that doesn't work, have a look through this apple thread. Maybe, something in this discussion will help.
