Photoshop Elements 6 Freezing, I need help, please.

I got the program along with the Wacom Tablet I got, not too long back.
It worked for a while, but then started freezing at random moments.
But now, I can never open it without it freezing about 30 seconds after launch.
I checked the FAQ's and Trouble-Shooting section, but everything seems in order.
I just updated my Mac (10.5.6) and I have high enough Ram.
It's not the disk and I haven't messed with the folder it came in since I installed it.
(Didn't touch it then either)
Oh, and I have updated the program itself to the latest udate I can get.
The only thing I haven't tryed is Uninstall and reinstall it.
This program was really helpful when I could use it, and I would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks for the help.

>(10.5.6)
Why? Why not 10.5.8?
In any case, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 settings
Opera preferences (if you have it)
Repair permissions and try again. If it still crashes to go Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Plug-ins>import/export and delete the adobe TWAIN driver (note that if you have an epson scanner it may not work properly after doing this).

  • Photoshop elements 12 freezing on 'initializing'. Please help!

    I bought of DVD copy of Elements 12 in june and has been working perfectly until very recently. I use a wacom intuos pro (small) graphics tablet and have been using it perfectly with Elements 12 (and CS5) for the last 2 months, until I updated the driver for my tablet (both cord and wireless). Since updating the driver for the tablet, neither Elements 12 or CS5 will open. They launch and freeze on the startup image when it reached 'Initializing', everytime for the last week without fail.
    I've done everything I can think of to fix this problem, from changing the permissions of the SLS Store and Adobe PCD folders, uninstalling and re-installing both soft-wares (which resulted in Elements 12 telling me it was only a trial version worth 30 days, and asking me to lisence the software when ever it successfully launched) and restoring the computer to an earlier date.
    I've only been able to open the programmes when I didnt have my tablet plugged in, and then it would crash after a few minutes (or immediately when I plugged the tablet in). I've rebooted the tablet multiple times and have finally got it working properly, but Elements 12 and CS5 still refuse to launch.
    I'm running on a 64 bit version of Windows 7, with 8 GB RAM and up to 3.1 GHz.
    Please help!

  • Photoshop ELements 11.. Need help

    I have currently purchased and loaded Photoshop ELements 11 on my computer. I have uploaded pics from my camera but now it is telling me "searching for missing file" ?? I'm confused ... Any suggestions

    While importing images from your camera, please ensure that you copy them somewhere on your system.
    Use File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Camera/Card reader option to do so.
    Once the Adobe Photo Downloader dialog opens up, click 'Advanced' button to see all possible options regarding Copying files to system and then deleting them from card.
    Missing files are the ones whose location cannot be ascertained by Organizer since the drive they are on  (in your case the memory card), is not connected to the system.
    Thanks

  • Installing photoshop elements 12 ...need help

    I just bought photoshop and premiere elements 12 and I am unable to install it.  This is the message I am getting.  "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or if one is already installed create an association in the default program control panel."
    What the heck does that mean?

    Hi camera shot,
    Boot to Safe Mode (start tapping F8 when you switch on) and choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt. At the prompt, type assoc .exe=exefile and press Enter. There will be no acknowledgement, just type exit and press Enter. Now press Ctrl+Alt+Del and restart the computer.
    You may also have to restore the .exe association here Manage - Fix "File does not have a program associated" - Windows 7 Help Forums

  • Photoshop elements 9, getting runtime error help please !

    I need to work on some photos bad and fast  but cannot , getting a  window popping up that says :
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library  
    This application has requested to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact application support team  for more info.
    Thanks if anyone can help... the only thing I can think of that has changed was that my Mcafeee told me I had a critical update for Adobe flash player earlier today, I updated it but also just did a sys. restore and still having this problem.

    can anyone please help me ?    If I'm asking at the wrong place then a simple suggestion as to where I should ask would be greatly appreciated.  

  • Is Adobe Photoshop right for me? Need help please!

    Model: Presario CQ57 Notebook PC
    Process: AMD C-50 Processor
    Installed: memory (RAM): 2.00 GB (1.60 GB usable)
    System type: 64 bit operating system
    It says 180 GB free on boot drive which I know is discouraged to be using the boot  C drive but I don't understand why photoshop will not work if I have freakin 180 GB available but, then again I'm not a techie. I also have 1.60 GB on D drive but both are not enough as I can barely do a single function without a loading screen coming up for 5 minutes. If anyone could help me out that would be so great. If you even know about other programs that could do something like create a professional looking header to upload to a website that is also greatly appreciated. I seriously only got creative cloud for photoshop for creating website headers and it has turned out to be the biggest pain in my butt since becoming an internet entrepreneur.
    Sincerely,
    an EXTREMELY frustrated photoshop user

    The notebook seems to be underpowered for running Photoshop.
    If it's simply web banners you want, try using Fireworks, a dedicated web graphics app (also part of the Cloud).

  • I have 2 problems with Photoshop Elements 12 that I need help with

    The problems:
    1) When I bring photos into the editor to work on them and then save them they are not automatically appearing in Organizer
    2) When I make changes in Organizer (eg adding or deleting photos) the changes do not appear in Adobe Revel. When I make changes within Adobe Revel they are appearing in my Organizer
    I have all the latest versions of Elements 12 and Revel downloaded
    Any suggestions?

    John,
    Looks like you already have 12.1 version installed.
    Have you tried restarting revel agent from Edit>Preferences>Adobe Revel?
    Do you see an orange icon next to Mobile albums header in left panel?

    Photoshop elements 11 freezes when I try to back up the catalogue. i get a message "Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup". what do i do?

    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.

    The next best suggestion I have is to back up your device in itunes and restore the software back onto your device. It sounds like you might have had a error when downloading the software update.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 freezes when selecting Photomerge

    Photoshop Elements 11 freezes after selecting images in the tray and then selecting Photomerge/Group Shot or Photomerge/Scene Cleaner.  The program does not respond and then exits after Windows checks for a solution.  I tried this with 2 images of size 3000x2000.  The system is Win7, Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 10GB free SSD and >500GB HDD (set in Edit/Preferences).
    Since the app freezes immediately I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

      Are you able to drag a source image into the editing window or select any of the tools e.g. pencil or eraser. If not use the menu in Expert mode and go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> General
    Click the button “Reset Preferences on next launch”
    Then close the application and re-start.
    Let us know if that makes any difference.

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
