Photoshop Elements 8 Editor won't load

I sucessfully downloaded PSE8 Trial onto Vista 64
I click on editor, check trial, click next....
"Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and nitify you if a solution is availuable.
Funny thing is Organize loads and works fine
Turned off TrendMicro Virus and still no joy....
Please help

See if the changing the default printer to a file-only printer helps, as described in solution 3:

If that doesn't help, try reinstalling with anti-virus completely disabled while you install. And if that doesn't help, I recommend working methodically through these troubleshooting steps:

Photoshop elements 12 won't load up on my PC. The first time I try to load it up I get a large egg timer, which lasts about 3 seconds. The programme then closes and if I try to load it again I get the circular icon which spins for 1 second and disappears.

Hi,
Please try resetting preferences?
On Windows: Goto %appdata%\Adobe\Elements Organizer\12.0\Organizer folder and rename the files “psa.prf” (to say psa_old.prf) and “status.dat” (to say status_old.dat).
Try launching Organizer and see if it launches fine.
Thanks

Photoshop Elements 10 won't load

Hi
I've installed Photoshop Elements 10. When I try to load the program it seems to load, but as soon as it opens it shuts down again. After this has happened once, it won't load at all unless I restart my computer. I've re-installed the program multiple times, but it hasn't made any difference.
Can you help?

I'm running Windows 7 Professional on an Alienware 14X. Its got an i7 processor and 16GB RAM. It works if I load from the editor, but not if I try and load any other way.

Photoshop Elements Editor won't open

I have been using Photoshop Elements since July without any problems. Now the Oraganizer will open but the editor will not. How can I fix this?

We badly need to have a consolidated thread for the many victims of this problem. PSE 10, 11, 12 (Windows) at least. Organizer loads, Editor does not. The way this forum is set up, you wouldn't see it unless you have been following for some time as I have. [PSE 10 victim].
I don't know who first got the idea that clearing prefs was a solution. It does not work for us.
I thought the forum revisions might make it easier to see all the posts about this common problem. They don't!
But now, thanks to taziers, "I was on the phone with tech support for 3 hours with no success and I was told this was a flaw with adobe Photoshop."
So I have been wasting all the time I've spent on fixing? Wait for a patch, if ever. .?? . .TBC

Photoshop elements 12 won't load on 2nd computer

Got PE12 for Christmas and have loaded it on desktop (for home use) and am trying to load it on laptop (for travel use). Won't load. Took multiple attempts (5) to finally get it to load on desktop.

Intel Core 2 Processer - 2.2 GHz, 4 GB Memory, NVidia GeForce 8600 graphics, Windows 7 on both computer. Both Desktop and Laptop have Photoshop CS 5 installed and are usable.
Got out external DVD drive and connected it to 2 different USB ports. Progress bar at top showed that it was reading the drive until it got to just of 50% and then message 'Please insert disk in DVD drive'
Think there is a problem with the disk. FYI, the serial number for the software is <removed>. I have not registered this software after installing it on the desktop, rather wanted to get it installed on both first.

Adobe photoshop elements 13 won't load

I Bought the disk for this program and entered the key and successfully downloaded it but when I try loading up the program and selecting photo editor the bar moves bellow it then disappears and will not not load. Please help, thanks Chris

See if this helps any. Substitute 13 for 12 in the file path:

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 won't load

Hi,
I just received PSE-8 DVD. I found that the DVD player reads something but never get the program to install loaded.
1-WIN XP-PRO SP3.
2-Norton INternet Security 2010
3-3GHZ processor.
4-Gigabyte DVD player
5-I have no other installation problems(PSE-4 installed OK, still installed).
6-I have disabled NIS 2010 Antivirus/Firewall/Tampering & used MSCONFIG to not load startup items as well as non-Microsoft services, no luck.
7-If I rightclick on DVD drive-e, My Computer hangs, and if I view Taskmanager the result is "Not Responding"
>I have tried a music DVD, no problems.
>To get rid of no response I must eject the DVD.
Can I accept the Adobe DVD must be faulty ? It states XP/Vista/WIN7.
Thanks
Chris

Try using Windows Explorer to copy the contents of the DVD to a folder on your desktop. If that doesn't work, then there's an incompatibility between the DVD and your drive. If you have access to another computer, try copying the DVD contents there to a flash drive or external drive. If Windows Explorer on two different computers can't copy the DVD, then you know it's the disk that's the problem, and you should ask the seller for a replacement. If the other computer can copy the DVD, then it's likely that the fault is with your DVD drive.
If you can successfully copy the contents of the DVD to a folder on your desktop or a drive, then you can double-click setup.exe in the copy to install it.

Help appreciated. Using Mac OSX 10.9.5. Photoshop Elements 11 won't load returns error 213:5 (Problem has occurred with licensing of this product)

Have tried following but no solution so far:
1. Uninstall and reinstall
2.Removed com.adobe.photoshopElements.Plist, and further uninstall and reinstall
3. Set up new admin account (to address possible missing permissions) and launched PSE 11 but same problem
4.Booted in safe mode to exclude possible plug in issues- no difference
(Adobe Premier Elements 11 still works fine). I suspect the PSE 11 problem is license key related??? but can't find any further info and am at a loss what to do next.
Any suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated

That error means there is a critical crash or signature error in the licensing system. Could be that you may need to check your system's security certificates, firewall and other things...

Photoshop Elements 8 won't load properly

When I activate the program I notice that the cursor is flicking between a + and the blue spinning Windows 7 circle. Any change that I try to perform doesn't function....example...if I try to crop a photo, I can create the frame but it has no handles and will disappear if I try to enlarge it. Has 8 run its course?

The first thing to try when PSE goes weird is to re-build the Preferences: Hold down your Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys when launching the Editor, and you'll get a prompt to delete the Preferences. Answer "Yes", and the preferences will be re-built. (If you don't see the prompt, minimize any PSE window to reveal the prompt window.)
The spinning cursor when the Editor launches is normal -- PSE is checking a lot of things: whether the most recently used files still exist, the plugins that are installed, etc.

Photoshop elements editor does not open

I had photoshop elements 12 for windows working fine on windows 7 professional 64 bit . Then recently attempted to install the12.1 upgrade which failed with the usual lack of any useful information.
I removed elements, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, ran the update successfully, rebooted and now, as has been since the upgrade attempt, the editor won't start. If I right click a photo in the organizer and pick edit, I get a message "Loading the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor Workspace..." for a couple of minutes, the message disappears, and no editor appears.
How do I diagnose and fix?

Before anybody asks, no the editor won't open from the startup screen nor from the right click menu when displaying a folder with pictures.

Photoshop Elements editor does not open from Lightroom edit command

I have PSE 12 and LR 4.4 on iMac 10.9.5. My LR preference is set to PSE Editor and was done so by LR, I cannot change it. When I try to edit in PSE, an 8 bit Tiff is created then I get the error message that "there was a problem.......". In the details is this line:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/AdobeLinguistic.framework/Versions/3/AdobeLinguistic
Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
Reason: image not found
I do not understand this, but the problems seems related to the Library, which, I don't know. I had PSE 12.1, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled PSE 12.0. It made no difference, same error message.

"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

Photoshop Elements Editor 11 only wants to open once

My problem is as follows: 1) I use Photoshop Elements (11) Organisor, 2) then open the Editor to edit a specific photo, 3) close the Editor and return to the Organiser, 4) after a while I want to edit a second photo, and give the command to open the Editor; 6) the Editor doesn't want to start anymore. If I close the Organiser as well and then restart Photoshop Elements in order to open the Editor, this won't help: I have to restart my computer in order to be able to open the Photoshop Elements Editor!
I use Photoshop Elements since March 2013. This problem occurs since a few weeks. How can I solve this problem?

The File->Open Recent files show recent files list. If you are talking about files automatically reopens in PSE then there is an option on Mac under Settings->general which says "Restore..."
Also found an issue with 10.8 here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1326035
Please see if it helps.
Thanks,

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.
