Photoshop Elements 7 and Vista 64

I've installed PSE 7 on Vista Ultimate 64, and I can't get the Adobe Downloader to launch when I plug in my camera. Is this a limitation of Vista 64, or do I have it configured incorrectly?
Thanks,
Thane

I think Adobe's marketing practices with respect to Vista 64 are deceptive.
They have a distribution agreement with Dell, selling PSE 7 pre-installed on Vista 64 systems, e.g. the XPS 630.  They don't have an asterisk in the Dell shopping cart telling customers that Adobe won't support PSE 7, and a customer would have a quite reasonable expectation that PSE is supported.  I wonder if Dell knows that Adobe isn't supporting the pre-installed PSE?
Nowhere on Adobe's site do they say that PSE 7 is not supported on Vista 64.  The System Requirements page says:
Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 or 3 or Windows Vista®
Certified for 32-bit version of Windows
Most typical users aren't going to interpret this as meaning that Vista 32 is required to receive support.  They won't have a clue as to what "Certified for 32-bit version of Windows" means.  If Adobe cared about its customers, it would just state plainly and clearly that Vista 32 is required.  For example, Nikon states clearly that the drivers for its popular Coolscan scanners require Vista 32.
This is typical of marketers trying to have it both ways. If the product had a bigger customer base, it would be fodder for slimy class-action lawyers.
We can offer support if you encounter issues, but only to the extend that we know it is the 64 bit system causing the issue.
If this is precisely what they said in your reply, this makes no sense.  I think what the support person meant was that they would provide support only to the extent that they know it is not the 64-bit system causing the issue.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Camera RAW 6.6

    My Significant Other just purchased a Nikon 1 V1 camera. I have an extra copy of Elements 9 that I can install on her computer. According to the Release Notes, support for the Nikon 1 V1 started with ACR 6.6. According to the same Release Notes, ACR 6.6 runs under Photoshop Elements 9.
    "This new version of the Camera Raw plug-in replaces the original Camera Raw plug-in that was installed with Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9. "
    and
    "The Camera Raw 6.6 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS5 or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows and Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. "
    The Photoshop Elements update page, however, suggest that ACR 6.5 was the last version of ACR that ran under Photoshop Elements 9. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Windows
    Which is correct, the Release Notes or the Update Page?

    After you install photoshop elements 9 on the vista machine follow the steps below to install the camera raw 6.6 plugin:
    1. Download the 6.6 DNG Converter and install the profiles:
       http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5310
    2. Download the 6.6 camera raw plugin zip file:
       http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5316
    3. Unzip the folder by right clicking on folder and choosing Extract All
    4. Inside the extracted folder doulble click on the Payloads folder
    5. Then double click on the CameraRawForElements6.4All-011211045300 folder
       (should be the second folder with a size of 16.0 mb)
    6. Right click on the Assets2_1.zip and choose Extract All
    7.  Rename the file from 1002 to Camera Raw.8bi
    8. Right click on the Camera Raw.8bi and choose Copy
    9 Go to:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 9\File Formats (64 bit vista)
      or
      C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 9\File Formats (32 bit vista)
    10. Drag the old camera raw plugin to the Recycle Bin and right click in the empty space in the folder and choose Paste
    Start the pse 9 editor and under Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw should hopefully say version 6.6.

  • Downloading/Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10

    I have tried multiple times to download this program.  It came with 5 discs.  I have downloaded the first disc and when I go to do the second one it wants me to uninstall the first disc.  How can I install all 5 discs?  I'm downloading on Windows Vista.
    Thanks,
    Nicole

    I am operating on Windows Vista. Disc 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 say Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10.  It just says 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5... and so on.  But on the directions you upload all the discs in order. 

  • Installing Photoshop elements 10 in Vista 32 bit

    I can't seem to find what I need to know about which discs to use to install Photoshop elements 10 and Premier elements 10 in Vista 32 bit. I'll also need to know about Windows 7 64 bit. The discs say to start with #1 for Vista and #2 for Win 7 64 bit.

    Follow the link for clarification http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/863/cpsid_86374.html
    Start with Disc #1 to install on Windows 32 bit however the Disc #2 is to install on Windows 64 bit.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 (and 7) crash too much in Windows 7

    Photoshop Elements 8 and 7 have a terrible crash problem in Windows 7 and
    also did in Windows Vista.  It seems to happen when going from the editor
    back to the organizer (after an edit session).  Am I doing something
    wrong?  This is a terrible problem.  I love the Photoshop Elements
    editor and the organizer but can't stand this crashing!

    Thanks, Dean...
    It looks like I might have found part of the problem.  I've followed some other advice on here on eliminating the welcome screen by using a short cut directly to the organizer.  However, it is more unstable for some reason when calling the editor from the organizer after loading it that way.
    I went back and loaded the program through the welcome screen and it did much better.  That's kind of strange to me.
    Thanks for offering to help.

  • IPhoto with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Bridge

    I have not used iPhoto before now as I have been downloading photos from my Canon and Nikon cameras using their software. I have now moved everything into iPhoto but cannot find iPhoto using Adobe Bridge so I am unable to do any editing using Elements 4. Previously I could find the Canon and Nikon photos using Adobe Bridge. With a simple click on the relevant photo it opened up in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and I was able to edit it. Now using Bridge I simply cannot find iPhoto thus I cannot use PSE4. Can someone help before I go crazy ? I havde called Apple support but they have been unable to help me and suggested using Discussions@Apple

    Many thanks for your quick response although, as a new iMac user, the mere mention of the word "corrupt" scares me ! I previously used a PC with Windows XP and PSE3 and loved being able to sort all my photos into albums with PSE3. Unfortunately the PSE4 which I have installed on my iMac doesn't let users sort their photos into albums and the only alternative is Adobe Bridge. I only recently started to use iPhoto after a visit to an Apple Store and it's great being able to catalog my photos so easily. Unfortunately PSE is far and away superior to any editing software that iPhoto has to offer. Anyway, I'll cross my fingers and try your suggestion first thing tomorrow morning.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
    BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

    you need your serial number.  you used your redemption number to redeem your serial number.
    if you don't know your serial number, check the account used to purchase or register your pse 12, Adobe ID

  • How do I update Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 on a new computer?

    I have previously used both Adobe Photoshop elements 9 and Adobe Premiere elements 9 on my old computer with Windows XP operating system without problems. Now I have a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit operating system.  I have installed both programs but when I try to update them I get a message saying "The update server is not responding.  The server might be offline temporarily or the internet or firewall setting may be incorrect.  Please try again later." I have tried numerous times with the same result.  I have tried uninstalling both programs and re-installing but still get the same message.  What do I have to do to be able to update these programs so I can get on and use them? The information with the programs says they both work on both Windows XP and 7.

  • How to install adobe photoshop elements 12 and adobe premiere elements 12 on a computer with no cd drive?

    Hi
    A few months ago I bought Adobe Photoshop elements 12 and Adobe premiere elements 12 to my old laptop. But a few weeks ago I had to buy a new computer and that one has no cd drive :S How can I install my  programs on my new computer?
    Thank you

    There isn't much good news to offer.  The first mention below is probably your only shot without purchase, unless you could find someone to transfer licenses with.
    You won't be able to install a Windows version on the Mac unless you install some Windows emulation software on the Mac.
    You won't be able to activate a Mac version of the software on the machine because your license/serial number is only valid for Windows.
    CS5 is too old to qualify for a platform swap and Adobe no longer sells CS5 so you would have to take your chances with a third party vendor if you decided to purchase a Mac version.
    Just to clarify, there is no such thing as a student version of the software... the license dictates the status of the software.  So you won't be able to find a student version either
