Photoshop Elements now refuses to run

Photoshop Elements 4.0 now refuses to run on my Intel Macbook (10.4.10). It used to work flawlessly. One day, it just refused to open. The loading screen would come up, then it would crash and say "Photoshop Elements has unexpectedly quit." Nothing changed on my computer between the last time I used and when it started to crash. No new software, no updates etc. I have tried doing these things to fix the problem:
-Rebooting
-Deleting the Photoshop Elements .plist file
-Using a different user account on my computer
-Repairing permissions on my hard drive
-Uninstalling Photoshop Elements and reinstalling it
All of which have failed to work. Nothing I have done has been able to work.

Thanks, Barbara.
In no particular order, while the images are from the same camera, I get the same problem with images from other sources scanned in with my Epson 4490 scanner.
I run diskwarrior from time to time, but not on a regular basis. Is it not a good utility to use?
I am sure I deleted the twain driver, certainly from the import/export file you mentioned. There is no other mention when I use 'Find'.
There a lot of caches. I have deleted the Opera cache.

  • I downloaded photoshop elements, now what?

    I downloaded photoshop elements, now what? I can see all the files and whatnot, but now what do I do? Is there other steps to start using the free trial? I'm not that computer savvy, yet if you tell me in plain english I'm sure I can figure it out;)

    Which operating system are you using?  I would recommend you begin by launching the setup application to install Photoshop Elements.  You might also find the document Install | Adobe Premiere Elements | Photoshop Elements | Windows | Mac OS helpful.

  • Can I buy Photoshop Elements now and download later?

    Now I work on an old Mac but I'm waiting for my new Mac.
    Can I buy Photoshops Elements now (it's a good price now) and download later, maybe over 1 or 2 weeks?

    Sure. The download version is the same as the trial (not talking about the app store version, which is a completely different thing), so you can always download the trial and enter your serial number to convert it to a working version.
    If you buy the app store version (which is usually more expensive and also has more restrictions on it), you can reinstall it at any time by going to the Purchased tab in the app store.

  • Purchased Photoshop Elements, now it says it's a trial version

    I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 12 and installed it (yes, I put in the serial number) and now it says that my "Trial Version" has expired. I did not install the trial version. I uninstalled it, cleared out my temp files, and reinstalled it. It still says my trial version expired. Is there any way to resolve this? I am running Windows 8.

    What wording identifies the number you are using that you call the "registration code"?  Is this for Photoshop or Premiere Elements?

  • Sir, My Photoshop Element programme is not running.  Because of 'too many activations'.

    Sir,
    My Photoshop Element Programme has been suspended due to too many activation.
    I can only think this is due to Hard Drive failure on my PC.
    Initially reformate and re-install on same drive.  But this drive Failed too.
    I then replaced it with a New Drive and re-installed, but cannot get my programme running due to too many activations.
    HELP.
    Rgds

  • Adobe photoshop elements suddenly refused to open (launch)

    I had purchased Photoshop Elements 12 Editor for my mac laptop perhaps 1 or 2 months ago. It worked fine until last night. It suddenly keep saying "your application quit unexpectedly, do you want to re-open?" Either reopening or saying cancel and just open the application, both show the same result. It would repeatedly say "your application quit unexpectedly, do you want to re-open". I cannot photoshop to open at all. I deleted the app and downloaded new one again. It's still not working. I am really puzzled at why it suddenly quit working. Any help to get it up and running would be really great as I really need to use it for my son's school's event. Thanks

    Reinstalling is not the way to fix these things, usually. First go to your user library and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.12.0.plist
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer12.plist
    and any lockfiles with the same names, then  go to Saved Application States (at the same level as preferences) and delete any for PSE, then repair permissions and launch PSE again.
    To see the User library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account.

    Im on a Intel dual core 8 gig memory and win7 64 home premimum.
    Did I just piss away 50 bucks?

    Try updating the licensing service:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Install_the_licensing-serv ice
    If that doesn't help, then I think you'll need to work through the long, tedious list of troubleshooting:

    Even if you've tried some of these before, try the steps again exactly as described.

    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

  • What is the latest photoshop elements version that will run on Windows Millenium?  Thanks for your help!

    Does anyone know what the latest Photoshop Elements version is that will run on Windows Millenium?  Thanks for your help!

    PSE 2, I think. I know that's the last one with ME listed in the sys reqs. PSE 3 might have worked, but adobe never said it would.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements now on the App Store

    Just a note that Adobe Photoshop Elements (sans the organizer) is now available on the Apple App Store.  (I understand it it $79).
    http://barbarabrundage.com/2011/07/20/photoshop-elements-comes-to-the-mac-app-st ore/

    How is the installation easier from Disk? On the App store you click install and forget about it. Hard to beat that. And how is it a good back up? If you have a back up of your Mac - and you should - that's better, or you can simply redownload from the App Store.
