Photoshop Elements 8 Error Not Responding

I am trying to get assistance in getting my photoshop back up and running.  I have called Adobe and there is no sympathy all they want is money to fix it.  They have sent me here to speak to an Adobe Tech.  I am finding that this is a very common issue but none of the resolutions have worked.  Everytime I try to enter my organizer my program stops working and gives the message "not responding".  I am running on Windows 7.  Please help, I am getting very frustrated with Adobe...

Try right clicking on the Organizer desktop icon and then choosing “Run As administrator”
If you don’t have a desktop icon, this is how to create one.
On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file
“PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.

    My Photoshop elements 11 and 13 organizer suddenly exits. photoshop elements is not responding. Message occurs when the error is found. solicit help, That's all.

    We really cannot know. So far you haven't told us anything about your system nor is there any feasible way to diagnose what this "missing file" could be, no matter what. That is, short of elaborate tracking and observation using specialised system diagnosis tools. The welcome screens can be brough back via the Help menu, but well, this might bring back the problems as well. Anyway, this is most likely nothing that a forum can help you with. If you know a computer geek, give him a call. Otherwise I don't see what we could do for you.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 not responding

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9, but I am beginning to get the error message that it is not responding.  What could be the problem and how to fix it?

    It could be any number of things -- but you haven't given us enough information to be able to help you.
    Are you running the 64-bit version of Windows 7? You may want to check out the 64-bit version of Windows 10. It runs like the wind on that OS!
    New computers are usually full of outdated drivers, temp files and fragmentation.
    Have you manually gone to Windows Update and downloaded all of the latest updates? Do you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program's requirements?
    When did you last clean and defragment your system? In my books, I recommend Advanced System Care from iobit. It cleans your temp files, tunes your registry and defragments with a single button. And it's free!
    http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
    When does it lock up? When you first starting the program or when you're in the midst of editing? What is the source of the video you're editing when it locks?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Not Responding

    After installing Photoshop Elements 10 when I launch the application and choose the 'Edit' option it takes about 3 minutes before it responds.

    Hi wencol1
    May be PSE is not able to load font properly. Try Resetting preferences.Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements Editor begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file. After that select the type tool and it will again build up the fonts that are installed in the OS  you are using. Do reply if you face issues.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements does not respond when quicktime is installed

    I currently have a Windows Vista PC with Photoshop Elements 5.0. Photoshop seems to work fine, however when Quicktime is installed, Photoshop stops working (sometimes immediately and sometimes within a few days). When Quicktime is installed, Photoshop will start, but freezes and never loads pictures. I read a post at another website with the same problem suggesting that I could unistall Quicktime and then reinstall. I tried uninstalling and Photoshop started working immediately. However, when I reinstalled Quicktime the same thing happened. I've tried this numerous times, both by installing Quicktime separately and as a package with iTunes. I would be fine w/o quicktime on my computer, however it seems that I need it in order to use iTunes. Any advice on what to do? Thanks.

    FYI, I'm using a Mac with the latest OS, whatever that's called.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 not responding in a wierd way

    So Ive been using elements 11 for over a year now with no problems and suddenly it has stopped working. it started when I recently opened a photo to crop it and when i was using the crop tool, it wouldn't let me move the crop area with the mouse like it usually dose, so i thought it was cause the layer was set to background, so i exited the tool and tried to unlock the layer and it wouldn't unlock, so then i tried reopening the file and opening other file types of the same picture but now nothing opens. the software is still responsive and i can change tools and open up menus and settings but i can't open ANY files now, when i try and open files with "open with" or go though bridge it still just opens the program but never opens the file. Ive looked for answers but can't find anyone else with the exact same problem, and i have tried deleting the preferences setting file, didn't help.

    First, in the Editor, go to Edit>Preferences, click this button and restart the editor:

  • Why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing and then it says there is an error and closes itself

    why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.

    Three things you can try:
    1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
    2. Perform an SMC reset:

    3. Try the free DVD player VLC:

  • Photoshop Elements 6 not opening jpegs following adjustment.

    I am getting the following error message: Photoshop Elements could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete).
    This error message has occured with images that I have imported and renamed in Bridge and to which I have made adjustments in Photoshop Elements 6.  The images which I have renamed but not resized or adjusted or touched in any way are opening without a problem. Whatever the problem it is doesn't seem to be anything to do with re-naming. This problem has occured previously but because it involved only a small number of files I just re-did them and the problem did not re-occur. On this occasion it's 40+ files so it's time to find out the cause if possible. Help would be appreciated. Thanks - Victor

    Your computer may have insufficient RAM. When adding text you are temporarily increasing the file size by adding a new Layer (the text layer) which requires more memory.
    Try this:
    Add your text, then click Layer >>Flatten image. Then save and press Ctrl+W to close the file. Then move to your next open file and repeat.

    adobe starter edition has photo numbers by the picture such as DSCO0283.JPG , where can I find that number on the pictures in PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12--reason being that photoshop elements will not convert my catalog to version 12. If i had that number I could manually rebuild my collections into the photoshop elements 12, but all that i see in photoshop elements is dates and i have multiple pictures from the same dates. HELP! I

    finally getting back to this project---adobe starter edition 3.2 is on a windows XP computer
    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 is on our Windows 8.1 computer.
    error messages--- had to give up trying to convert---I copied all our pictures to our windows 7 laptop and I installed adobe photoshop elements 12 (my bought program)
    I wanted to try to convert there first. also I copied our catalog to this computer also. Everything was working fine I could see the collections just as they where on the XP computer.
    then I tried to convert on the laptop. I believe the error said something about corrupt file, so I gave up that day. Next day I tried to open ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2  and it wanted an unlock code, no such code exists. and my copy of Elements 12 turned into a trial version which has expired. So I am a little hesitant to try to convert on the XP  computer and mess up the existing catalog,
    unless there is a fool proof way. I have tried manually making collections/ albums on Windows 8.1 and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12  and coping pictures into the new albums. sloooow!!
    I probably have about 4500 pictures and 150 collections/ albums to go. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • "Edit in Photoshop Elements" does not appear as option in Lightroom 4.3

    After viewing this artical:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html  and completing all options related to the Mac, the "Edit in Photoshop..." still does not appear as a clckable option in my Lightroom 4.3 program which has all the current updates.  Also, my Photoshop Elements 11 program also has all the current updates.
    Please note that in the interest of time, that all of the "solutions" were attempted in the above mentioned link
    Also, was on hold with Adobe Lightroom help phone support for over 1.5 hours without any agent answeing the phone.  Also Adobe automatied phone support states that Photoshop Elements is not supported free of charge and it is fee based.  How is a consumer suppose to have a problem corrected in Lightroom that stems from Elements when it is suppose to intergrate that way between the two programs but any help to try to correct the way it is suppose to work will cost you an addition fee in phone support for Elements?
    And help on fixing this issue will be apprecitated.
    Lightroom v 4.3 / Camera RAW v 7.3
    Elements v 11.0 / Camera RAW v 7.3.0.71

    Did this with Adobe support in LIVE CHAT, what a waist of time.  Although this will correct the issue, it is like a work around and not solving why EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP... is not a clickable option (greyed out) in LR.
    After the configure as suggested above, does this preclude and editing in Lighroom?
    What I want to do is:
    Edit the photo in LR except for:
    the useage the great Spot Healing Brush Tool that PSE offers, edit that part of it in PSE then SAVE the results back to LR.  Any problems or suggestions for this?
    Thanks so much

    You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.
    All sales are final and there are no refunds.
    Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.
