Photoshop Elements 6 won't work after recovery

After a system recovery on my HP, the Photoshop Elements 6 program will not reinstall.  All other programs are up and running.  The install from the disk appears to be successful, but I don't get the window to enter the serial number.  When I click on the icon, nothing happens.  Uninstall and reinstall results in same situation.  I have Windows Vista 2007.  Adobe gave it a case #184059543, but will not support it due to it being an "old" program.  Please advise.

Try running application directly from exe of editor or organizer present in installed location of application.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Editor not working after Registration

    After installing & registering my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, a week or so has passed since I last played with it. The Organizer still works fine, but the Editor sends me to a registration screen, which ultimately ends up telling me to ensure the Internet is working (it is) or retry. Any idea what's up? I've tried restarting the computer, uninstalling/re-installing the software, and the ever popular, waited on the phone for 45 minutes until I got so tired of the music (no one ever picked up) that I just gave up. Thank You for Your Support!

    Please share a screenshot of the erro message you are seeing when launching Editor?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop Elements 8 won't launch after installation

    I get an error message that the application has been moved from it's original location, and needs some repairs, with an option to repair now or cancel, and when I click through to accept terms and use as a trial, it just disappears as if I never tried to open it.  Same with CS4 trial download.  I called Adobe, spent 2.5 hours on hold, then 2 hours doing various things which had no effect.  I called back today, and was on the phone for 2 hours, when I was disconnected, and wasn't called back, even though she REQUESTED my number for precisely that reason.  I'm trying to purchase an Adobe product, but if the trial won't work, then I'm not risking the money. 
    Mac, snow leopard 10.6.2

    I'm also on a Mac running 10.6.3 and Elements 8.
    I think the installation process malfunctioned.  I'd COMPLETELY DELETE the Photoshop Elements 8 folder in the Applications folder and start the installation process again.
    It's very easy to give a copy of an expensive application to a friend.  The application developers - like Adobe - don't like that because they don't make any money on the transaction.  They spent millions of dollars creating the application, so you really can't blame them.  So they all take creative steps to let an application determine if it is a genuine copy - or a bootleg copy. 
    One way to let the application determine if it is a genuine or bootleg copy is to create a hidden file in the application's folder.  The file is there, but you can't see it.  If you make a copy of everything in that application folder, you won't copy this hidden file because you can't see it. 
    The Mac's operating system file catalog knows this hidden file is there, because otherwise it might overwrite that unused hard disk space.  But it has been instructed not to tell you about the file's existence - and not to copy it with normal copy procedures.  Apple built this feature into the file catalog for its own use.  An important part of the operating system's files are kept invisible in the same way.  That prevents idiots from deleting important files - and engaging in do-it-yourself brain surgery.  So application developers use this feature for their own purposes.
    Each time the application starts running, it checks to see if that hidden file still is there.  If the file isn't there, then the application refuses to run.  I'd suspect that in your case, the hidden file isn't there.  I think that is what the "application has been moved" warning is telling you.  They don't want the warning to be too specific because they don't want to tell the hackers of the world one of their security features.
    There's no way you can re-create this hidden file - except to go through the installation process a second time.
    Remember that all this is my supposition.  I know that some application developers use this technique.  I don't know that Adobe is using it.  But what you are seeing is consistent with the application realizing that something important is missing - and refusing to run.

  • Help! My adobe photoshop elements 9 won't work when i open it up!

    Help, please! I have a Adobe Photoshop elements 9 and everytime i save a picture then the next day i try to open my save picture it tells me "This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
    If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, (which i do) Please contact either your IT or adobe tectnical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen
    Error: 150:30
    http://www.adobe.com/support/"
    They told me they couldn't help me with this problem or the chat and phone support doesn't help with people who have Adobe Photoshop elements 9 anymore. What should i do?

    That is a licensing error, it has nothing to do with opening files, just with opening the application. Check our documentation on this error:

  • Photoshop Elements 11 organizer stops working after about 15 minutes with windows 7??

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed preferences, removed preferences, added administrator priviledges with full control to several screens, turned over my screen to Dipanjan, Adobe Rep and still does exactly the same thing. Very frustrating! Anyone else getting this windows pop up screen " Photoshop Elements 11 organizer has stopped working" ?
    If I don't resolve this soon, I'm going back to PSE 10 and I guess I'll just have to eat the money wasted on it.
    Finally resolution!
    Three separate days totaling about 8-10 hours of chat then another 3 or more hours in chat about this issue today with 3 different people. Finally got to Vijay, who said to:
    click on edit in the organizer,
    go to preferences,
    click on media anaylsis,
    uncheck all the boxes.
    That did it!!! Less than two minutes, done!  No more problems. I can't imagine how much of Adobe's and my time and productivity was wasted going through all the laborious steps, often times repeating the same procedures when I got some one new, only to start all over again. 
    Many thanks Vijay. You suceeded where so many others failed!
    I sincerely hope if anyone else suffers this dilemma, this will instantly resolve it for you and avoid the extreme frustration and agony I went through.
    Cheers!

    Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
    Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 won't work and won't uninstall

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows 8 on a Lenovo g500s i7 laptop. Photoshop will not open. I cannot uninstall it either. The uninstall process stops at the first Installwizard screen which asks me to press next to continue. I have tried various compatibility options and other suggestions that people have previously posted. I would be very glad of any ideas on how I can either restart Photoshop or uninstall it so that i can start again.

    This is a Photoshop not Photoshop Elements user forum.not an Adobe support organization.  If you have an install problem Adobe customer support can help you.  Please go to www.adobe.com to see what support is available for you to use.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 won't update, including camera raw

    I have Elements 9.  It currently has camera raw 6.1.  I need at least 6.3.  I have tried EVERYTHING to download the updates and they don't work and after downloading them, they say they fail.
    Essentially, when I go to "Help" and run the "Updates" provided by Adobe, they all fail.
    I just want to edit my raw photos on my nikon d3100.
    I bought this product, you should provide updates that actually work.  If you tell me that my camera will only work with a product that I yet have to pay $70 for...  I will be ticked.

    Hi Zach.
    Sorry to say but Elements 12 came out several months before your camera. Adobe stops updating camera raw files for old software editions so that people have to buy new versions of the software when they get a new camera. It happened to me with LR3 when I got a new camera.
    There are works rounds but they are a lot of extra steps and I think you would be converting the files to Some format other than RAW (tiff?) and which I am not sure will perform the same.
    I think you just need to get a newer version of Elements.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10

    My Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10 nor does my Premier Elements 12. When I try to start them up I get the error message. After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times its still the same. Strangely enough PSE 11 seem to work with Yosemite.  I uninstalled my Premier Elements as well and it behave the same way. How do I get a new copy of Premier Elements 12 to reinstall?

    Just to further test what is happening to my iMac on Yosemite is I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC and when I go to launch it it gives mr the same error message as when I try to launch PES 12 or Premier Elements 12. So whatever the problem is it involves all three and so upgrading to Photoshop CC doesn't even help.  Could there be an Adobe file damaged or missing somewhere that is common to these and yet does not effect Revel and Lightroom?

  • "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"...message

    I am very very very new to this...and have had so much trouble I'm ready to ask for a refund!  After installing and watching tutorials and not being able to load any pictures to the 'organizer'...(my autoplay does not show the "Organize and Edit Photos" or show the Photo Downloader...I finally called Customer Service.  He told me I needed to uninstal and reinstall.  Ok..I've done that.  But it's still not on Autoplay.  At least he showed me where the file menu is on the 'organizer', so I could get some pictures in there.  But when I click on 'Edit Photos', I get the pop-up message, "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"....It never HAS worked....This thing just came out of the box today and has too many problems for a newby like me.  What is the problem?  Actually, there are the two problems.  HELP!

    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\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. Let me know if you have any comments.
    Thanks

    thx. francisco

    I am experiencing the same problem after upgrading to PSE13, but haven't found a solution yet.
