Photoshop Elements 9 - Organizer opens, but editor will not.

I have Windows 7.
I don't believe I have any plug-ins loaded.
Uninstall program (I have done this so many times. I'm sick of it.)
Delete files
Reboot
Reinstall
I AM STARTING TO HATE THIS PROGRAM. 
Open Organizer
Open Editor
SHUT DOWN - there's a problem.
Reboot
Open Editor
Open Organizer
SHUT DOWN
Without rebooting
Open Editor or Organizer - WILL NOT OPEN.
I have thought about buying the full blown program, but this one is giving it's big brother a REALLY BAD NAME!!

It only happened to me once, a few years ago, and it's basically a PITA. 
The short answer is that if your original standard user account is corrupted, there's no way to fix it -- you have to create a new standard user account.  That's the easy part, the tedious part is transferring all the user settings for your programs to the new user account.
I worked with MicroSoft tech support on it, and although the technician assured me that merging the old (hidden) AppData directory into the new one would be enough, it wasn't.  I pretty much had to launch every app and check to see if the settings were OK.  If they weren't, I either had to find where the old settings were or simply re-do 'em from scratch.
N.B.:  A new user account won't necessarily cure performance problems -- that's usually an entirely separate issue.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 and Adobe Air will not exe after installation

    I am currently running elements 8.  Since yesterday the photoshop elements editor will not execute, but crashing after it tries to initiates TWAIN.
    I have been uninstalling and reinstalling since yesterday.
    1. I have deleted elements preferences.
    2. I have used my utility drive to clean up clutter and excess files.
    3. I have cleaned my registry using Systems Mechanic
    4. I have installed the program from the desktop.
    5. I have copied the execution file to the desktop to use as a shortcut.
    6. I have turned off all devices and drivers that might be interfering and installed in simple mode.
    7. I have updated my drivers.
    8. I have tried the repair function
    9. I have removed the program manually to ensure nothing is lingering and then tried reinstalling.
    10. I have tried Systems Restore.
    11. I am in the process of defragmenting my hard drive
    12.  I have tried installing from the D: drive
    After all of this nothing has worked, and to make matters worse, now Adobe Air is crashing.
    Is there anything else that I have not tried that might remedy this problem.
    I have the program on another computer and it works fine.

    Go into the program files (program files(x86) for a 64-bit system), find the Elements 8 folder and within that Plug-ins>ImportModules and delete the Adobe TWAIN plugin. (You may have trouble scanning directly into the editor after doing this)

  • I try shutting down my MacBook Air but it wont let because the application "Mail" is still open but it will not let me close Mail so i can shutdown my computer

    I try shutting down my mac but it says that it cant because "Mail" is open. so i try quitting mail but it will not let me!

    Force quit Mail app. Apple logon in the menu bar select Force Quit. A dialog window will open select Mail.app and click the force quit button.
    If that doesn't work hold down the power button until the system turns off. Then press it again to restart your Mac.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 disc and download will not work

    I have spent 3 days trying to get photoshop 11 to install on my new computer (using windows 8) My disc seems to mysteriously be missing its setup file which makes no sense at all. I have tried using the linkhttp://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre. twice now and followed all the instructions but I still get errors. I need to have this up and running soon as I use it for work as well as personal use. I also am concerned about having downloaded it several times now. Could there be conflicts happening from trying to open and run the files. It is as though some of it starts to open and then fails. I have posted my errors on another post from earlier today and yesterday.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • Bridge is frozen. Program opens, but it will not open up any folders or pics

    I'm not sure what has happened all of a sudden, but my Bridge seems to be locked up.
    It will open normally, and I will see the normal selections, but when I go to start opening folders, it will give me the stopwatch symbol for about a 1/2 second, and then nothing….it will still navigate thru the drop down menus, and i can even change the view….But as far as opening up any folders or clicking on pics, nothing.
    I installed the updates earlier this evening, same results.   Should I just re-install? 
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    and I welcome any other suggestions!
    Sorry to hear it did not solve it.
    First think about what caused the 'all of a sudden' problem. Since most of this is solved with reset preferences but not for you it might also be caused by something you have changed in workflow, install app's or plugin or admin privileges for the disk your on.
    Maybe you also can give some more details about what system version you are on, what Bridge version you use and what you usual workflow is. (what files are you looking on, what disk are they on -internal, external, network etc).
    Also give some details about the free space you have left on your HD with your system on. Less then 10 % is getting you sooner later then later in to trouble with memory and space consuming apps like Bridge.
    And use Apple Disk Utility to check and repair your permissions on the start up disk, might also help.
    If not you can choose to delete the cache file for Bridge manually.
    You will loose all prior build previews and have to start over again for new previews but your files and settings stay the same.
    But whatever you do, first rule is to Back Up your files (and as a sane person you already have done so before so that won't be much work...)
    Quit Bridge, from user library caches folder find Adobe/BridgeCS5 (or your version). And inhere are two files, a plug in and a cache file (this file can grow to huge proportions btw). Drag both files outside the library, preferable to the trash but if you want so put them elsewhere outside the library). Then from the same library preference folder find the Bridge plist file (com.adobe.bridge4.plist) -Bridge 4 is CS5 version 3 CS4 etc-
    and drag this also outside the library.
    All those files will be replaced by fresh, empty and default ones after restarting Bridge.
    For security also delete the last used workspace for Bridge (user library/Application Support/Adobe/BridgeCS5/Workspaces and from here delete the file named: '!!LastMenu.workspace'
    Again restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences.
    Now you ended up with a Bridge as per fresh install and you should be OK.

    Logic will open -
    Prompts me to create a new project... when I create a new project - logic remains open and doesnt hang - but the UI will not come up...

  • Fire is loaded, it opens but it will not max. Can not access.

    I've spent my day trying to get Fire Fox to start working again. I've deleted and reinstalled several times and have tried to work through web answers.
    At this point, the computer window7 Task Manager indicates that Firefox is open. The icon on the task bar shows it to be open but when the icon is clicked it does not maximize it appears to jumps off the screen.
    Is my answer to this problem is to use another browser? I'd support Fire fox but it has to work and be easy.
    Hopefully you have an easy fix for a fire fox user.

    Hello,
    If you right click on your task bar, you can select "Show Windows Stacked" or "Show Windows Side by Side" if for some reason windows are appearing off of your screen. Alternatively, if this occurred after installing an extension, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is not running (close it from your task manager if it is), you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • HT1296 I have authorized my computer and music shows up on it when I have iTunes open, but still will not download songs to my ipod.  Any suggestions?

    I have authorized my ipod to sync with my computer, but it still will not sync the songs from the past that are on itunes.  Any ideas how to correct this and download the songs?  thanks, Corinne M

    I have authorized my computer to work with my ipod.  I have ran a sync and it did put music I copied to my computer to the ipod.  The thing it will not do is download music I bought from iTunes in the past. It just acts like they are not there.
