Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on Windows 7 Ultimate N.

A few months ago, Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultinate N computer.  The photo editor still works and so does Adobe Premiere Elements 8.  Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?  I've done a lot of looking on the Internet with no luck.
Thanks!

Hi Michel
Have tried those few things that seem to be still applicable to version 11 (as you will know it is not being maintained and stops at version 8).  
However, I don't understand what is meant by "sometimes deleting it's saved preferences and registry entries fixes the problem.  To do that see these Adobe Tech. notes."   Unfortunately the link goes to a page which no longer exists.  I guess that rather than "deleting" the saved preferences the author means re-setting to default ?   "Deleting registry entries" is a task which should, as I understand it, only be done by those with a high degree of expertise.  I am not one of them !
Any comment you have will be gratefully received.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer stops working

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 and when I open the Organizer, I get a message that the program has stopped working and is going to close, while the Editor is still operational.  I uninstalled Elements 10 before my new installation.  How can I fix this?

    It might work but this is not a practical solution.
    I have many picture folders on my pc and several of these have AVC files.
    My intention was to use Photo Shop Essentials to edit my pictures. Unfortunately the "Organizer" app crashes when trying to work with my Catalog.
    I have narrowed it down to only happening when there are AVC files in my folders. I have seen others have this issue and I found the issue by what they recommended.
    Sadly if I am unable to get this to work with my current folders I will have to dump Essentials for another application.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer Stops Working due to Sony AVCHD files

    Hello I installed Adobe Photoshop elements and have been having trouble with it crashing.
    To solve this problem I deleted my Catalog and added a Catalog with only one folder.
    This folder has photos, in JPEG and Sony .ARW format as well as AVCHD files.
    I found that by removiing the AVCHD files from the catalog the SW would no longer crash.
    This really is not a practical solution since my PC has many folders with many AVC files.
    I am trying to see if there is a SW patch or another way to address this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working

    My Photoshop Elements 7 stopped working.  Error message; "A prpoblem caused theis program to stop working correctly.  Windows will clsoe the program and notify you if a solution is available.  How can I repair?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    -Check if AutoAnalyzer.exe is running in your task manager. End the task and try.

  • Photoshope Elements 11 Stops Working

    Photoshop Elements 11 stops working after it opens the organizer.  This is after I imported pics / movies from my cell phone which caused it to crash. Any suggestions?

    No.  The program stops working a few seconds after the Organizer opens up.
    The only reason I brought up importing photos is because this problem started after I tried to import photos directly from my cell phone.  The first time I tried to import photos from my phone, I connected the phone via USB.  Then I used the "Get Photos" feature in Organizer and selected the drive which showed up corresponding to the phone.  Unfortunately, I think it downloaded items that were not photos or videos.  It crashed during the attempt to import.  When the organizer opens up I have a few seconds to see my photos and there are a few that look like bar codes and rainbow colors.  I am concerned that the program downloaded files from the phone that are causing the problem.
    I searched through my photo folders looking for bad files but could not find any.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Elements an the problem persists.

  • Elements 11 stops working also windows live photo gallery any ideas please

    elements 11 stops working also windows live photo gallery also on elements 9 and10 any help would be very welcome please o.s. windows 7

    You have to tell PSE to explicitly write the tags back into the industry-standard metadata fields, using the File > Write Keyword Tags command. Beware that it is buggy -- if you find your tags not getting written correctly, you can use the utility psedbtool:

  • Photoshop elements 10 stop working on windows8.1

    I upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1. when attemting to use the photomerge panorama function, the photoshop elements10 program stop working.
    can anybody help.
    thank you

    For Photoshop Elements Disc 1 contains the install files.  If you leave the check mark checked for installing the Premiere Elements trial it will prompt you to insert Disc 2.  If the installation is still running though it will not allow you to eject Disc 1.
    If you have installed Photoshop Elements from Disc 1 then you have everything you need.  There is no need to insert Disc 2 except to install the trial of Premiere Elements.

  • Elements organizer stops working

    Why does my elements organizer stop running when I open it up?

    bigmoogoo
    As Hunt has already asked and which is very important to include
    a. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    But, you say only Elements Organizer, not including Premiere Elements nor Photoshop Elements?
    So, I will add these additional questions:
    What are you doing in the Elements Organizer when it stops working. Just opening it? Is this a "it worked before but now" issue or a "it never worked before" issue. Please detail.
    Once we get the basic details requested above, we can plan troubleshooting strategy which might involve:
    a. deleting the settings file
    b. creating a new catalog
    c. looking at what you have imported into the Elements Organizer or are trying to import into it
    But all is speculation without more details.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 has Stopped Working on Windows 7

    Hey guys and girls. I recently got a new computer running Windows 7 64bit. I still have good ol photoshop cs4 and wanted to use it on this new computer. The install process was completed and as I started the program, I get the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" box. I've looked through some forums, and a lot of them mention the wacom tablet issue, which is not the issue since I've yet to install the drivers for my tablet. Has anyone come across this problem at all? This is what shows up when I get that error box.
    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERCA9F.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
      C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE1B8.tmp.appcompat.txt
      C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\WERE246.tmp.mdmp
    Please help, thanks in advance

    The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
    If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
    Good luck,

  • Elements Organizer (photoshop elements 11) stops working and shuts the program down.

    I have had Photoshop Elements for several years - first used version 3   then 8 (lost in the 2010 Nashville Flood)  bought 9 last year) - then 11 purchased in Dec 2012.
    I had trouble installing 11 (Premier and photoshop kept locking up in the install process)   finally installed after 8 hours of problems when I did a clean boot uninstalled Virus protection etc.
    Very Frustrating.  Installing on HP Pavilion purchased after the flood - 3gigs ram - windows 7 operating system.  I have over 2000 pics and HD video clips on the hard drive and during the final installation the files were (converted)  according to the install
    I tried the "Online Chat" and was cut off
    I've been unable to use the new Organizer since it shuts down.   Tried several times over several days with the same results.  
    Today I transfered a number of photos (jpeg) from Zip drive to the hard drive - followed the instructions on page 9 of the all too brief booklet and
    - the pics came up on the screen --HOORAY
    UNFORTUNATELY THE CELEBRATION WAS PREMATURE - Organizer stopped AGAIN   HELP!!!

    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Organizer.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete settings file; click Yes.  It will open with default preferences.
    Solution 3:
    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Shift key and click Organizer . Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    Please delete the following files from the location : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\9.0\Organizer
    psa.prf
    status.dat
    Now go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\ and run the exe PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe with Admin rights.
    If you are on MAC, you will get the files psa.prf and status.dat at ~/library/app support/adobe/elements organizer/9.0/organizer. Post deleting them try launching Organizer.

  • Can Elements Organizer 9 work within Windows Media Center

    I have both Windows 7 Media Center and Photoshop Elements 9 installed. I use PSE9 extensively for the past 2 years. I really would like to view my phgotos from a home theater pc running Windows 7 Media Center.
    I have seen many threads talking about the integration of PSE within Media Center through a plugin. Is that automatically installed because I cannot see any link to PSE organizer frrm Media Center.
    Any help would be appreciated.

      I’m not aware of any plug-ins that work successfully with recent editions of Elements. I believe things changed when Adobe stopped using the Microsoft Access database - possibly after PSE5.
    I think the best you can do is make a slideshow and output it to a wmv file. Alternatively write metadata to files within Organizer (File à Write Keyword & Properties) and use the built in photo browser within Media Center.
     

  • Adobe photoshop elements 11 stopped working.

    Photoshop elements 11 suddendly stopped working. I have worked with the program the last couples of years and never had a issue until now.
    I have not change any settings in my computer. Windows 7 (64).
    I have read in other forums, it may be caused by a windows update or antivirus. What do I need to do to have my software work again? I would really appreciate if you can help me resolving this issue.

    I have exactly the same problem.  After useing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 for more than a year, I get the same error message after I chose the edit option.  I have not used the program in a few weeks, so I cannot guess what other program was updated that might have affected the performace of Photoshop.  But, Photoshop does work in Safe Mode.  So, there is something that suddendly is in conflict.  Unfortunately for me, the first things I tried were to remove and reinstall Photoshop a few times.  Now my restore system option of Win7 is not available for a date far enough in history to get Photoshop to work again.  I have removed all software that used to open at Startup.  I have tried to open Photoshop as an administrator and also with various compatibility settings to now avail. I have checked the installation logs and there are no errors.
    Seeing that the prevous forum post is from February 2014, I am assuming that no one viewing this forum is going to help me with this problem either, but I can try to remain optimistic.  I'm out of other options for getting help.  I'm not excited by the idea of reinstalling all my software again and the hours of my time that will take, especially when I don't even know that this will help.
