Photoshop Elements 9 keeps hanging my computer

Hi
I have a problem in  that my computer keeps "hanging" when I run PE9.
I have successfully run PE7 for a couple of years without any problems and have recently downloaded and installed a trial version of PSE9. My computer keeps hanging when I use the Organizer function of PSE9. It doesn't seem to be related to any particular activity - the system could for example be working on regenerating thumbnails.....or sitting there idle. The only thing to do when it hangs is to hit the power key and turn the computer off - shift>alt>del has  no effect. Time duration is between 5 and 15 minutes for the computer to hang after starting PSE9.
Actions already taken to try to reslove;
- It would appear that switiching the computer off caused a catalog corruption where the PSE9 organiser would not start. Help was kindly provided in another post to reolve this (at least PSE9 now works).
- Photoshop and Premier Elements 7 have been removed completely
- PSE9 has be removed and reinstalled
- Register has been cleaned and compacted
PSE9 catalog has been repaired and compacted
Help appreciated please
Graham

Hey Graham,
Check whether auto-analyzer is running on your machine or not. If it is running, then turn it off. Can you feel the performance improve after turning it off?
Do let me know.
Thanks.

  • Installing old Photoshop Elements on a new computer

    I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

    OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Thanks

    What is the exact error message which you receive?  Also what version of Photoshop Elements are you trying to install?  Finally what version of Mac OS are you using?

    Hello,
    I recommend you contact AT&T's dedicated BB Support staff (call their front line, request escalation to BB Support) and have them check to be sure that your account with them is correctly configured for this device. Sometimes when switching devices things don't fully automatically move behind the scenes, and only they (ATT) can validate that.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Photoshop Elements 7 lost in computer crash. How do I redownload?

    Could you please help me to find the way to re-download Photoshop Elements 7? My computer crashed and I lost all of my programs on Vista.
    Now I have Windows 7 and I would love to put the Elements 7 on and get started again.

    Did you purchase it as a download from the Adobe store? If so, you may be able to get it by logging in to your store account, but downloads are only available for three years, I think. If it was a version on disc and you can't find the disc, unfortunately for PSE 7 the serial number for a boxed version won't work with a download version, so you'll need to get hold of another PSE 7 disc from someplace.

  • I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.

    I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.  I found a download page on adobe's website for the software and installed.  Install went fine but when I entered the serial number I received from my original e-bay purchase the software said it wasn't valid.

    No, I am using the serial number from the original e-mail that I received when I bought the software.  I don't think I ever registered the serial number, how would I check?
