Photoshop Elements 7 won't open at all...

I can't get my photoshop elements 7 to open, whatsoever.  It's always worked and now poof, nothing.  I opened it, hit 'edit' and the whole thing shut down and won't open at all, now.  I've rebooted; nothing.  I'm not sure if I should uninstall and reinstall, or what.  Anyone have any advice?  It's appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • Photoshop Elements won't open

    I've been using this computer in my workshop for simple things, mostly email, fb, etc. It has had Photoshop CS (very old, not sure what version) and Photoshop Elements 2.0 on it and both have been working fine. Just brought it into the house to use in the office after my slightly newer, but still old, iMac G5 died. I'm hoping to use it for a short time while figuring out what to do next regarding a newer computer. I've gotten it connected to printer and scanner with a bit of trouble due to trying to find old drivers again. That's really all I'm aware of having changed. Now suddenly PE and P CS won't open. I reinstalled PE (which is what I use most); no change. It starts to open, then just quits. I've clicked on "report" and see the following:
    Date/Time:      2012-04-11 00:02:41.529 -0400
    OS Version:     10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
    Report Version: 4
    Command: Photoshop Elements 2.0
    Path:    /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 2/Photoshop Elements 2.0/Contents/MacOS/Photoshop Elements 2.0
    Parent:  WindowServer [66]
    Version: 2.0 (2.0)

    Thread: 0
    Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

    Of course there's lots more but that's the part with the bad words like "bad access" and "invalid address" and such. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is going on; perhaps you know what the above means? Or maybe there is some other clue here? I'd be grateful. Thanks for reading.

    PS Just to be clear, no major changes in software; I have been running both Photoshop programs on this computer, with OS 10.4.11, since getting the computer as a hand-me-down a couple of months ago. I did update OS, Safari, and a few other things at that time, as well as maxing the memory, deleting many programs and files I'll never use, etc. Installed PE 2.0 at that time. CS was already on it. Both have worked just fine. When I reinstalled PE the installer said it had installed properly.

    Well, just in case someone else checks in here with the same problem. Got both programs working just fine again. I hunted up other threads on the same topic; several had posts suggesting trashing certain plug-ins and/or prefs. I'd tell you exactly what but I did a bunch and not sure which solved it. With Photoshop CS 8.0, I deleted plist in user library; no change; then deleted twain plug-in, now it opens just fine. I don't exactly comprehend why, but so far so good. If I have any other useful observations I will post them.

    PS I ordered a PRAM battery and will replace that anyway, just because I'm certain it is quite old; perhaps this will prevent other problems popping up. I need to get a bit more use out of this nice old machine!

  • Please help - Photoshop Elements won't open

    Hi,
    I just bought photoshop elements, installed it and everything was fine.  Like a dope, I downloaded a graphic from a website, and tons of adware/malware was also loaded on my computer.  I couldn't stand all the popups and junk, so i used the Dell Restore to restore the computer to the point right before I loaded photoshop.  After that was done, I reloaded photoshop, and now I can't get in to the program.  (The popups went away.) The opening screen comes up, I choose "photo editor" instead of "organize"...the moving ribbon comes up as if it was thinking, and then it goes away and the opening screen stays there.  No error messages.  If I choose Organize, I can get in to the photo organizing section with no problem.
    I'm running Windows 7.  I tried uninstalling photoshop, reinstalling it, uninstalling it, ran the cc cleaner, reinstalled it, uninstalled it and removed the preferences, rebooted a million times, uninstalled and reinstalled again....I still can't get in.  If I click on a .psd file the opening screen comes up and it sill just sits there.  I went into Organize and loaded an update, that went fine, but still can't get in to photoshop.  I can't do the restore to an earlier date, since I installed and uninstalled the program so many times, I lost that ability.
    I see a lot of people asking the same question in these forums, but I don't see any answers.  Can anyone help?  I appreciate any assistance you can give me!  I was so excited to use the program, and now it seems like I'll be shut out until I get a new computer, which is not going to happen soon!
    Thank you,
    Holly

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down Ctrl+alt+shift. Keep those keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • My free trial download of photoshop elements won't open because of missing elements. I've already installed twice. What can I do?

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and now it won't open because it says there are "...missing files. Please reinstall."  I've already downloaded it twice and it still didn't fix it. Is there anything I can do to fix it? TIA.

    SkylaNicole what is the specific error which you are receiving when trying to open Photoshop Elements?

  • I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30

    I re-installed my Mac OS, but now Elements won't open. Licensing stopped working. Error code 150:30.
    This is Photoshop Elements 8, and I have the original disc with serial number so I can re-install that.
    The probelm is I'd need to de-cactivate the serial number before un-installing, and I need to open the programme to do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Okay, I've found that this is a recognised problem.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    and all the solutions tell me to find the folder FlexNet Publisher in my library.
    Problem is FlexNet Publisher doesn't seem to exist there. Can't find it anywhere on my hard drive.
    Gettting down to the end of that page gives me the following info....
    The FlexNet folders and files required to run Adobe applications can become corrupted or have permission problems if moved from one machine to another. They can also be damaged through a Time Machine system restore. FlexNet service licensing failures cannot be resolved by reinstalling the application or by using the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool. If permissions issues prevent the FlexNet licensing service from launching, accessing data, or communicating with Adobe processes, a licensing failure occurs.
    Well it looks like backing everything up using Time Machine may have caused all this problem. Anyone know how to get Flexnet Publisher back?

  • Installed 10.6.3 and now Photoshop CS3 won't open

    Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Photoshop CS3 hasn't been the same. Whether it is the OS or the new drivers to manage my printer and my scanner, I don't know.
    Today, I had been working on Photoshop all day and at some point the computer got slow and it told me it had a software update. I decided to save everything I was doing, quit Photoshop and install Mac OS 10.6.3 hoping it was the answer to all the glitches.
    Instead, Photoshop won't open at all anymore. I have restarted, shut down, repaired permissions, reinstalled the program, updated everything and it still won't open. It's the only program affected from my design suite as far as I can tell, but it's also the one I use the most!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Also happened here with all of my CS3 apps on my Mac Pro. Also, Quark XPress v8.16 exhibited the same crash at startup. *_Not Good_*! Lightroom loaded properly with no issues. Haven't had a chance to run through every app yet, but as a Graphic Designer, those are the ones I need to work. An interesting tidbit was that this did NOT occur on the installs of CS3 and Quark XPress on my MacBook, which also was updated to 10.6.3. Just the Mac Pro.
    Re-installed CS3 suite and Quark XPress to no avail. Also cleaned font caches.
    I "fixed" this by re-installing Snow Leopard from the DVD which brought me back to 10.6, which just installs over itself, keeping all your apps and settings intact. I then downloaded the older 10.6.2 Combo Update, and installed that, which brought me back to the point I was at prior to 10.6.3. I also ran a software update after the 10.6.2 update, and installed all the found updates EXCEPT for the 10.6.3 update it found.
    No problems as of yet...
    I'll report back if any do arise.
    My gut feeling is that this is some sort of color profile or font issue.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    Hi,
    Can you please share the logs?
    You can use the Adobe  Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

  • Every time I try to open Photoshop Elements 12, it opens the Adobe login, after I login the program does not open:( Help please?

    Every time I try to open Photoshop Elements 12, it opens the Adobe login, after I login the program does not open:( Help please?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I need help!  Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 the app quits all the time!

    HELP!
    Every time I open up Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, and everything is all loaded up like the panel and everything, and then it just automatically stops. Like the program just quits itself, and a small window comes up saying that the program has quit after restarting. And there is Ignore, Cancel, Restart. I have no idea hwat is wrong with it! I have opened up and used it before SO many times!
    Please help!!!!!!

    Every time I go to the 6th one, like I clicked on it and then it just quits. It works on my guest account, but not on this one How can I get it to work?

  • Photoshop Elements won't access my HP printer

    When I click on Print, my HP Fax software is opened even though the printer is selected.  I reinstalled my printer software and still no luck.   The printer software is the default.   I see that others have had this problem but I haven't seen any suggested solutions for this.

    Thanks, that did the trick.

    This solution has been mentioned several times: The names of the printer and fax are too long.  In Windows, open the properties of each device and rename them to something like "HP Printer" and "HP Fax". Ken

  • I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever hope to find all the necessary bits and pieces.
    Now you have kind of a mess to clean up. First download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It won't seem to do anything, but it's necessary in order for you to be able to successfully manually remove what did get transferred so that you can reinstall PSE.
    Then go around and remove all the bits you can find, not only from applications but from your user>library>preferences and especially from hard drive>library>application support. Note that those are two different libraries.
    Then you can reinstall PSE from scratch.

  • ITunes won't open  at all... only error messages

    hey guys,
    no idea what's going on with my iTunes its really annoying though here's the scoop i got a lot of bad crap on my comp. so i had it formatted by a guy at work came home installed itunes opened it up it worked great all the sudden it closes itself and now it won't open at all i've redownloaded it at least ten times... nothing works... soon as i click on the iTunes icon it says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i sent the error report and it said Apple had a solution to my problem.. but after hours of searching i have found nothing so i'm just going to post this up hoping someone knows whats up (um just for some info i went to my add/remove hardware and quicktime wasn't in there... that's not right i think someone let me know lol)
    any help would be much appreciated really wanting to update my new songs on my iPod

    No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,

  • Mail suddenly won't open at all

    I clicked on the stammp icon for my mac mail about 3 days ago and it won't open at all. No matter how often you click, it does nothing. If I access it through the web, it works on the web, but not straight from the icon. My ical program quit opening the same day. Any ideas about how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    In the Finder, go to /Applications/. Can you see Mail there? Try to open it by double-clicking on it.
    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Now, take a look at the following article, in case this is a font issue:
    Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
    You may also want to read the following article:
    Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch
    If the above doesn't work, proceed as follows to try to identify the problem:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/, and try to open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.
