Photoshop Elements 7.0 will not open

I have Photoshop Elements 7.0. All of a sudden it will not open. I can find the program in my system, when I click on it, I can see it try to open, but then nothing happens and it disappears. Please help!

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: Try launching directly from exe 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' from location  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\ . Right click on this exe file at this location and select run as admin.
Solution 3: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 4: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
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  7.0\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. For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743
Thanks,

  • PhotoShop Elements 9 Edit will not open.

    After opening 2 or 3 images in Elements 9 edit a dialog box will come up and say "Elements is already running but is not responding close the Elements process or restart your system". I do not see where I can close the running Elements process. I have used Elements 9 for several months and have never run into this problem. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?

    Thank you for the response. My Elements 9 Editor problem seemed to fix  its
    self. After restarting the computer the Editor would open for 2 or 3 images
    then refuse to open again. After the fifth restarting of the computer the
    Editor  has continued to work and now seems fine. Not sure what caused the
    problem  in the first place. I will use the advise given below if the problem
    starts  again.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Editor will not open

    I'm running Windows Vista (Home Premium) on a Sony vaio laptop that exceeds (by a landslide) all of the requirements to operate Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.  The organizer opens just fine and functions properly.  When I try to open the editor (either through the organizer or by its self it states "launching" and does not open.  Instead within three to five seconds I get a small windows error window that pops up stating "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working" even though I can't even get the editor to open.  I've tried some of the support suggestions on the Adobe web site but clearly this is something else.  I've also removed and reinstalled the software twice with no changes.  I downloaded all of the windows updates as well.  PLEASE HELP!

    Re: Photoshop Elements 8 Editor
    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.
    I found this in the Elements forum and it worked!!!!

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer will not open on Apple 10.6.8.

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements 12 two days ago and opened and ran the program successfully. I've downloaded nothing new to the computer since then, made no updates. but today it will not open at all, giving me a message that Adobe Elements 12 Organizer cannot be opened. The error message reads: "Reason: Incompatible library version: dvacaptioning requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0".
    I've restarted my computer, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but I am getting the same error message as before. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Unfortunately, the pse 12 organizer won't work on mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard.
    As far as i know, there is no update or patch from adobe to resolve the issue.
    Probably no fix from adobe is coming, since photoshop elements 13 is already out, and adobe very seldom patches older software that they no longer sell and i don't believe pse 12 was officially supported on mac os x 10.6.8 by adobe when pse 12 came out.

  • Photoshop Elements 8.0 will not open Nikon D610 RAW .NEF files

    I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0; just purchased a Nikon D610 and when I try and open the RAW .NEF files I get error message saying wrong file type.

    Hi,
    Nikon D610 is supported in ACR 8.3 (adobe camera raw version 8.3) while PSE8 is quite old. You may convert to DNG and then process converted DNGs in PSE8. For 8.3 DNG converter, see http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694

  • Adobe Photoshop elements - the catalog will not open on the new laptop I just bought.

    I installed the Adobe software for Elements 5.0. The catalog won't open. The new laptop uses Windows 7. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I rectify the problem?

    Hi,
    Actually, I did eventually get it to open. However, the photos are no longer tagged. I recovered the photos from my external hard drive, which is where I always stored them.
    So you are saying that I would need to actually to a BACKUP from ELEMENTS itself? If I do that, the tags will still be attached to the photos? I have over 6000 photos. I do not want to have to reorganize and re tag them again.
    Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

    Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 will not read in Canon 70D raw files. All updates have been made.

    The Canon EOS 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 (the plugin used by Photoshop Elements to read Raw files)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Camera Raw 8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 and later. It is not compatible with Elements 11 or earlier.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Your choices:
    Upgrade to Elements 12 to open 70D Raw files in Elements
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 70D Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNG files in Elements 9
