Photoshop Elements 7 unter Windows 7 nicht lauffähig?

Question

Nach einem Wechsel von Windows XP zu Windows 7 habe ich Photoshop Elements 7erneut installiert. Das Programm lädt Bilddateien von SD Karten korrekt in das gewählte Verzeichnis, die Miniaturen erscheinen auf dem Bildschirm, aber das Programm kann die Bilder nicht laden (trotz vergeblicher Suche!)
I changed from a Windows XP system to Windows 7 and installed my Photoshop Elements 7.  The Program loads picture-files from SD-Memory Card correctly into the choosen Folder - the miniature appears on the screen - but the program can not load the picture.

I just accomplished this without any real problems and am now running with my same license on the newly rebuilt PC.  Here is what I did ...
Originally my PSE7 configuration was set up last year on new Intel I7-based PC running Vista 64 bit version with a retail copy of the PSE7 software, i.e. not the upgrade version.  Once that was setup I imported my catalog from the older Adobe Photoshop Album on my previous system.  That put me at the place you are now, i.e. PSE7 on Windows Vista.
For this upgrade I puchased the upgrade version of Windows 7 and an additional second disk drive.  I installed Windows 7 onto the clean drive, giving me a dual-boot system for either OS.  While booted on the Vista drive, I used the easy-transfer method to write a backup of my Vista files to an external disk drive.  I then rebooted into the Windows 7 drive and used the Easy-transfer tool to reload the files from the external drive. (note; this easy-transfer included >200GB of music/video/image files so it ran for several hours for each phase of the transfer)
Once I verified the directory structure on the new Windows 7 setup, only then did I do the installation of PSE7.  That wnet flawlessly and relicensed without any problems.  Next I was able to open up my catalog in organizer and all of the images were intact.  Since then I have had no issues with the configuration.
So bottom line is you should be fine doing the upgrade regardless of whether you do the upgrade like I did to a new drive or an in-place upgrade overlaying your vista environment.  For the in-place upgrade I would strongly recommend you still do a backup of all of your images and their associated catalog(s) to an external drive.  Win7 is a vast improvement over Vista so I'm sure you won't regret the upgrade but I don't trust any vendor's software upgrade procedure, especially Microsoft so please do the backup first.
