Photoshop Elements 8 Wont Launch Organizer

I am ready to pull my hair out. I can no longer access my photoshop elements organizer. I have tried pressing ctrl alt shift with no luck.......Nothing happens. Please Please help.

Found this from John`s blog (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#Reset_the_Organizers_online _services). Please try.
If a photo upload to an online service like Smugmug or Flickr fails, the Organize may then crash every time you try to restart it. Reinstalling has no effect.
To troubleshoot this, start the Organizer and let it crash. Then check the contents of the file:
PSE 6/7, XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\v.0\Organizer\log.txt
PSE 6/7, Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\v.0\Organizer
PSE 8, XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\v.0\Organizer\log.txt
PSE 8, Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\v.0\Organizer
Replace v with 6, 7, or 8. You may need to configure Windows Explorer to view hidden files.
If the last line is:
Initializing OLS
then you’ve been struck by this bug. To work around it, see this Adobe tech note:
PSE 6: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405252.html
PSE 7: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408913.html
The PSE 7 tech note also applies to PSE 8 – replace 7.0 with 8.0 in the folder name it says to delete.

Photoshop Elements 12 wont launch in Vista

I recenly installed Elements 12 on Vista (ater numerous failed attempts) but it wont launch. Any solutions?

Any error messages?
Can you launch the individual executables (organizer / editor)?
What happens if you right-click an image and select Open With> Photoshop Elements Editor?
Did you disable your anti-virus / firewall during installation?
What happens if you right click the shortcut and select 'Run As Administrator'?

Photoshop Elements 11 wont launch

I have installed photoshop elements 11 from disk, but it will not launch. I open it and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no change. I have run as operator and I have troubleshoot compatibility issues the only clue I got was no Gdiplus.dll file, but there is a file of this name in the elements 11 folder. I am running Windows 7.
Can anyone help?

It's a windows file having to do with graphics rendering. There are several places to download it online but since I don't know which are legit I'm not going to link to any.

My new photoshop elements 13 wont launch. HELP!!!!

I recently installed elements 13 on my computer and when I try to launch it, it asks me to sign in, then asks me to agree to the terms, and then when I click agree it disappears and nothing happens. I cannot get it to launch. Please help!

Hi,
Please try out following steps and see if it helps:
Enable the (Hidden) Administrator account on your computer. See Administrator account for more information.
Sign out of your current user account and log in as the Administrator.
Launch Photoshop Elements Editor and log in from the sign-in screen, using your Adobe ID.
If the editor launches successfully, disable the (Hidden) Administrator account you created in Step 1. See Administrator account for more information on disabling an account.

What can I do when in Photoshop Elements (version 11) the organizer does not start up??

!@@

Yes, thanks a lot. I understand now.
I now am able to open the old catalog again!! I tried now several times with the new shortcut.
Thank you very much indeed for ALL YOUR EFFORT and patients with me.
You suggest now I should click on the repair button. When I do so, the catalog will be overwritten, or I can choose not to overwrite and than the catalog will be twice as big. So I decided not to click on the repair button. When I see afterwards that some functions do not work anymore, I allways can use the repair button. As far as I can see now nothing is lost.. )
As far as I understood it is only possible to repair with a backup. Happily I made that allways, but I am afraid to use it, for the reason above.
When I have more time to spare, I will look for all the foto's from the apps of my cellphone and delete them.
Now I can finish my fotowork, what I had started before, and make Photoshop Elements again the main fotoprogram on my desktop.
Thank you again! Trees

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.

Hello, i have a problem with the adobe photoshop elements 10 in the organizer impossible to use the magic mouse, Where can I configure this one?
Thank you.

What do you mean by "impossible to use"? I use a magic mouse with PSE all the time. What are you wanting to do that isn't working?

Photoshop Elements 9 wont start

Hi
I've successfully been using Photoshop Elements 7 for some time now, but have recently downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9). The installation was successfull - no errors. When I started PSE9, the welcome screen started fine, I selected the organiser. The familiar organiser started - then before it completed its load, it crashed and returned me to the Windows desktop.
Looking through the forums, the advice was to ensure underlying software (Apple, Mircosoft etc ) is OK....done that, still would not start. Have also de-installed PSE7 and Premier Elements 7, cleaned the register, renamed the PSA file......still nothing - the organiser wont start.
Finally, I've started the editor - that works fine.....however, the organiser still wont start from the editor.
Help appreciated
Graham

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. (The documentation says that Optimize merely optimizes the performance of your catalog, but some people have reported that it also enabled catalog conversion to proceed after they initially encountered errors.)
If repairing the catalog doesn’t help, repeat the steps above, but instead of clicking Repair, click New to create a new test catalog.
If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works correctly, then there’s likely something about the old catalog that is corrupted in some other way.
try and let me know your comments.
Thanks,
Garry

PhotoShop Elements does not launch

I purchased PhotoShop Elements; did not download the trail version. It worked nice; I liked it. I then had to do a system restore unrelated to Photoshop. Afterwards, I re-installed PhotoShop. When I launch PhotoShop I have the option to select the Organizer or Photo Editor. I can't launch either; a message appears that says my trial has expired. I have spent 3 hours with Adobe tech support and they could not get it to work. I was told if I still had the issue, call tech support again...this isn't exactly tech support. They also told me that re-installing this software will cause it to NOT launch. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe someone out there has and found a solution that will work for me. Thanks!

Good day!

Betreffende de Organizer van Photoshop Elements 10 (About the organizer of Photoshop elements 10)

Mijn versie van photoshop elements 10 werkt perfect
Doch na het afsluiten van het programma en even later terug opstarten vertikt de organizer te openen
Ik ben verplicht mijn PC volledig af te sluiten en pas dan kan ik terug de organizer laten werken
Heb photoshop elements volledig opnieuw geïnstalleerd doch hetzelfde probleem doet zich voor
My version of photoshop elements 10 works perfectly
But after the conclusion of the program and back a few moment later the
organizer won't open
I am obliged to shut down my PC completely and only then the organizer works again
Fully reinstalled Photoshop Elements 10 the same problem occurs
Strange problem?

Yes that will work. If for example you have PSE8 installed, when you install PRE10 it can link to the PSE8 Organizer. But you could import your clips/media into a separate catalog for use with PRE. When you launch PRE10 simply click the Organize button on the welcome screen.

Premiere Elements 11 wont launch on my MacBookPro

I installed Premiere Elements 11 today and it wont launch.
The launch window doesn't get past:
Loading SmartSoundAdobePlugin.bundle
before I get the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 quit unexpectedly; report.
I click re-open and the problem persists.

I have re-installed twice and received no installation errors.
Would appreciate any tips on what I am doing wrong.

Good on you Steve,
and thank you.
In addition to following your two tips, I came across some additional information related to fonts. I validate the font library and reloaded it. I was then able to open Premiere Elements 11; SonicFire plug-in still didn't work.
I found some information in the forum on a related SonicFire patch - installed the patch and everything is working fine. Turned on Retina display and life is good.
You're worth your weight in gold - thanks again.

Adobe photoshop Elements 12 Editor - launch problem

Hi,
Can anyone help!
I downloaded adobe photoshop elements 12 editor. When I open the application the page goes straight to 'create' (ready for editing) I looked up some tutorials and noticed that the first page should launch with an option to 'Oraganise' Or 'Create'. This page does not appear for me! ? I have no way of importing/organising my photos into the Elements Library. I do not HAVE a library!
I can import my files straight from the DS card in RAW, but it takes a long time to search for each individual photo that way. Can anyone help??

If you can launch the editor after a re-start go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Click the button to reset preferences on next launch. Close the editor and re-open again.

I can't get Adobe photoshop elements 12 to launch. Error 0xc000007b

Hello if someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I've recently installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. But I am yet to get the software to start, instead I get the following message:
'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.'
I've looked on various forums but none of the suggested solutions have worked. I've also unistalled and reintalled photoshop to no avail. The computer does not freeze when I get the message.
Does anyone have a fail safe suggestion, other than reinstalling the operating system (Windows 8)?
Thanks

Hi,
Try creating shortcuts direct to the applications and use them each time.
Create shortcuts pointing to the following files:-
Organizer: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Please let us know if they work.
Good luck

Photoshop elements 12 wont open

pse wont open it says I dont have internet?

I have the same problem with the full version (12.0) and installation yesterday (and today!!!). Downloaded the installationfiles with Akamai Download Manager. After installation, the shortcut wasn't linked to any executionfile in the installationfolder (e.g. Photoshop Elements 12.0.exe), so i get a warning to look for the exe-file by browsing my computer. Reboot computer and try to re-install by clicking the "setup" redirected me to "uninstall". While uninstalling i get the message " specified path is empty" and the program refers to the online adobe troubleshooter. I tried all the given possibilities mentioned there, deleting temp files, installing as administrator, adding Adobe Support Advisor .. even a "clean windows startup" didn't work.
The only way to let my setupprogram work again (no uninstall-screen this time), was to go into the register and delete all the keys and values from PSE 12 (which I wouldn't recommend for anone who doesn't have a clue of what their doing). To be on the safe side, I decided to install the "trial"-version. Downloaded the file from the Adobe website and believe it or not, this time giving me a fault message about "Shared Technologies"
Next try was to install the trial version of PSE 12. the idea was to install that first and activate it afterwards with the serial number given when i bought PSE 12. This time i get a fault-message about "Shared Technologies" and the installation was reversed ... otherwise said "NO GO" and no files installed.
