Photoshop Elements 8 flyout menu - will not fly out!

None of my flyout menus will fly out. I hover my cursor over the  little black triangle, and nothing happens. I click on the item and  then hover my cursor over the little black triangle and nothing happens.  I click directly on the little black triangle and nothing happens. I choose a menu item and check the options bar at the top, and no other tools in the group are offered. Is  there a setting or something that is preventing me from accessing the  hidden menus?

    I friend has given me his original copy of Photoshop Elements 11.  It will not load on to my computer. Mac. mini. I keep getting will not initialize.

    I own the businesses, so there are no restrictions. Even my personal page has the same problem. I've been working on FB for years with no access problems. Ironically, the problem started the day the FB IPO went public. At first, the "freeze" happened when I tried to view a photo. Now it happens virtually every time I try to do anything: view a friend's page, try to use "chat."
    I'm at a loss. I would view it as a blessing, except that too many of my "friends" and family only use FB to communicate. I'm afraid that's how the world is today, and we can't turn back the clock.

    I have Photoshop Elements 12 and want to try version 13 before I buy. However, when I tried to download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, I was informed that it isa not available on Windows XP. Does this mean that if I buy the full version, it will not work on Windows XP?

  • I have photoshop elements 12 and it will not let me sign in to edit my photos, why?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and everytime I press editor it just keeps telling me to sign in to my adobe account, I have signed on multiple times and it just will not open up to allow me to edit my photos on my computer, why could this be?

    This is not the Elements forum.  Try posting your question over there.

  • Photoshop Elements 13, photo EDITOR will not open.

    Purchased Photoshop Elements 13. Install seemed to work with no issues. Organizer opens with no issues. Editor does not open; when I click on Editor, the blue loading bar moves for about 6 seconds, then stops, and nothing opens.
    Any help would be nice... first time Photoshop buyer.

    Hi Sunier,
    I don't know if you solve your problem, but I solved mine...
    Editor would not open, I had to sign in,  then Accept the terms of the license and it would bring me back to the Welcome page where a had the choice of  ''Organizer or Editor''
    The problem was created bye Internet Explorer.  I had to go in Internet Options,   Connections,  LAN Settings and Remove the check at the bottom   ''Use proxy server for your lan''
    After that I restarted my program and It start working. I did notice that the check on ''Use proxy server for your lan'' comes back but do not affect my program to start after.   It was on the first time that I was
    trying to run the program after the install (what I mean, is I did not run photo shop before this install)
    Hope it can help you

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac will not install

    I have downloaded a test version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 but when I come to hit the install button nothing happens. I have updated Adobe Air and Application Manager and I am on Mac OS 10.8.2, any ideas?

  • Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 will not print correctly

    When I first got this version of Elements, it worked fine when I was printing.
    But for most of this year, every time I try to print a file, it only uses the middle of the page.  It doesn't matter if I am using portait or landscape orientation, scaled to fit or original image size, etc.  I have tried many things to get it to print as it should, but I'm at a loss.
    Other programs print just fine.
    I am using Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron.
    Thanks for any help!  I searched google for this, but also came up empty.  I tried to start a Chat here on Adobe's site, but after filling in a bunch of boxes, the chat window never came up.  It's been a frustrating process so far, but hopefully someone here can help me.

    Hmmmm, that didn't do it (what you said would happen did happen, but it didn't solve the problem).  But I think I figured it out.  For some reason, there was a "custom print size" set to 6 X 4.  I set that to "Scale to fit Media", and now it seems to be back to normal
    I think my wife must have used my computer to print photos, and didn't tell me about it.
    Thank you for your help, though!

  • Photoshop Elements 13.1 update will not install.

    I have tried to install the subject update several times and keep receiving the same error message. "Update Failed. Another installer is currently running, which must be closed before installing this update. Please close other installers."
    I can't find any other installers operating. I have rebooted the computer and tried installing the update, but nothing changes.

    I found out my problem was related to Windows updates. One of the updates, actually, a Microsoft Office Note Windows 8.1 update, was not updating. This made the computer sense that an update was already in progress and kept other programs from updating. It took Dell Computer and Microsoft a total of 8 hours combined to work through getting all the updates installed properly. Since then I have been able to update other programs including the latest update 13.1 for PSE 13.
    I, of course, don't know if your problem is the same as mine. If you are running Windows 8.1 you can go to the control panel > Windows Update > Check for updates and see if it shows any updates that have not been installed. My preferences were set to automatically look for, download and install updates. When the one wouldn't install it inhibited others from installing and I had a backlog of 17 updates.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Photo Editor will not open

    When I get the opening Organiser/Photo Editor page if I click on Organiser it takes me in, but if I click on Photo Editor it asks for my Adobe ID etc and then just goes back to the opening page, it won't take me further.
    I've tried opening from the Program files and I've installed the trial online and then entered my product key, but still the same.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 for PC will not copy or paste

    Running:
    Photoshop CC 2014 for PC
    Windows 8.1 Pro, R2 64 bit, AMD FX3 8350 with 16GB RAM. 75% of RAM free
    Photoshop CC 2014 for PC will not copy or paste.
    When I create a line of text and want to copy and paste the text in the same document, the copy and paste functions are not working. The commands on the Edit menu are grayed out. CTL+C and CTL+X and CTL+V do not work.
    I have the correct layer selected.
    There is nothing else selected, just the text.
    Copy and paste fail on new documents, existing documents, documents with backgrounds, documents without backgrounds.
    I deleted all my Photoshop settings in Roaming>Adobe>Photoshop CC 2014
    I uninstalled Photoshop without saving preferences, removed all files and folders and then reinstalled.
    Photoshop will still not copy and paste.

    I honestly don't know what may be wrong on your system to cause what you're seeing, but I can confirm that on my fully updated Windows 8.1 Pro x64 system equipped with ATI 7850 I can do cut/copy/pastes as you would like to do, so it's not a basic incompatibility.
    Are you selecting the characters by dragging the mouse across them, then copying?
    When pasting, have you set an insertion point first?
