Photoshop Elements v13 will no longer launch, the message "Elements 13 Organizer has stopped working" appears despite me running this program successfully for several months.

Can anyone help with this problem - up until recently I had been using Elements 13 very successfully but now it won't launch - neither will 12 but 9 will but with an old catalog. Help!

Please try carrying out the instructions mentioned here:
Elements Organizer crashes at launch
Thanks,

    photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, How do I fix this?

    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.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

    Hey there Warrior41,
    it sounds like you are unable to use iTunes because it either will not launch without this error, or you get the error when you are using it. Sorry to hear about that, that can be pretty aggravating. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with opening iTunes in Safe Mode and see if the issue persists. If not, the article will help you troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing it:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue there are additional steps in the article if needed.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

    Ahhh, a number of anti-virus programs have issues with programs that use libraries that may look like virus signatures.  Hardware damage can cause software problems in programs open when the hardware problem occurs by causing electrical impulses that destroy parts of the software.  The short answer is it would be a good idea to have a really good technician make sure the computer is correct and then transfer the content of the hard drive to a clean hard drive and reinstall programs that don't pass checksum tests.
    The total of what you say is a system that could use a careful going over...make sure you are working from a stable and solid base.

  • When I try to open the photo editor in Photoshop Elements 12 I get the message that it has stopped working.  I am using Windows 8.1

    Can anyone suggest how I might overcome this please.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.
    DNG  Converter 8.8

  • After I use the "merge to panorama in Photoshop from Lightroom", I get the message "Adobe PSCC has stopped working" message EVEN though I can see the picture is successfully merged. And then the program closes itself! Help!

    It's the biggest tease ever haha! I can see the photo beautifully merged but then it forces me to close the program! I have tried this a few times and it's always the same. So annoying. I have never had this problem before until I recently updates to CC from CS6. Any thoughts? Do I just simple reinstall the program?

    This panorama consists of at least eight single shots which were (in my opinion) not taken
    using a tripod by rotating the viewline about a fixed point. They are more or less somewhat
    arbitrary shots.
    Merging these requires a kind of optimization which can fail because of numerical problems,
    though the intermediate result seems to be convincing. A crash log cannot help.
    A remedy would be the manual arrangement of the single shots, varying the degree of
    overlapping. That was available in older versions of Photoshop (for me in CS2).
    Enlarging your example, we can see some hairlines, like edges of torn paper. What's that?

  • I have Elements 10. I can start the application and I can activate the Editor. When I try to activate the Organizer I keep getting the messsage: "Elements10 Organizer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop. Please close the program".

    It worked this morning. The only change done during the day is adding 250 photos to the Organizer

    Hi,
    If it was working but now fails, it could be a problem with your catalog.
    I would suggest you try repairing and optimizing it
    Load the organizer
    From the File menu, select Catalog - that should open the Catalog Manager.
    Select you current catalog and click on the Repair button
    When that has finished, click on the Optimize button
    When that is done, click on the Cancel button to close the Catalog Manager.
    If it crashes before you can get into the Catalog Manager, start the organizer while holding down the shift key - that should go straight into the Catalog Manger - resume at step 3 above.
    If after repairing, you still get it crashing, then try the next test.
    Start the organizer while holding down the shift key so that you enter the Catalog Manager.
    Click on the New button (top right) and enter a new name (TestCat or something) and click on OK button.
    That should create a new empty catalog. You can see if that says up for more than a minute. You could try importing a few images but I suggest that you don't do anything with them.
    If that stays running then we know it is the catalog - otherwise it is the application.
    Good luck

  • When Firefox begins, I get the message that Firefox has stopped working. Making it impossible to do any of the troubleshooting procedures. Turning off computer and rebooting do not help. Any ideas about how to solve this problem?

    Everything was working fine and when I switched from email back to Firefox the problem started. Nothing new had been added before it experienced this problem. I also have IE on the computer, so I can get to this site.

    You need "sysinternal's process explorer", it is free and can replace the Microsoft process explorer, that you get by "CTRL+ALT+DELETE". Either program will allow you to kill the instances of FF that didn't die as they should have, when you closed them. Sysinternal is easier to use, it is a graphic display with many options. Do not push "CTRL+ALT+DELETE" twice unless you want to reboot, that is its default behaviour under Microsoft.
