  • Elements Editor 7 stopped working...Help...(possibly visual runtime c++)

    I have Windows Vista 64 bit with 4.00 GB RAM (If that matters) and Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.  It had worked perfectly fine since I bought it in March of 2009 until about 3 weeks ago (Only the Editor stopped working - the Organizer still works fine).  It was working fine one day, and then the next day, I tried to load the Editor and I got this message:  "Adobe Photoshop Elements (Editor) has stopped working....A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  (Of course, no notifications of any solutions have magically appeared from the solution fairy.)  I can't think of anything that changed on my system between the two days.  As far as I know, I don't have any viruses.  There may have been a Windows update, but I really don't know since all of that is automatic.  I had been working on creating a card for which I had been using some clip art that I had downloaded, but I don't see how that could be a problem...
    Anyway, I started searching for a solution and couldn't find anything definitive.  Over the course of a few days, as I kept trying to load the Editor in the hopes that I had been visited by the magical solution fairy and all was fixed, I got another message a couple of times.  I don't have the exact message because it only appeared a couple of times and then it went back to that generic message.  The new message was something having to do with a Microsoft visual runtime c++ error.  I did find a solution that mentioned that error, but it had to do with uninstalling the visual runtime c++ program and reinstalling it.  Let me just say right here that I am not all that computer savvy.  I can follow directions as well as the next guy, and any success I have ever had in fixing my own computer problems came because I am stubborn and I don't like to leave problems unresolved.  However, I do NOT like to delete programs.  The thought of deleting and changing things on my computer gives me nightmares. ( I almost bought a Mac because I was told that I wouldn't have to fix things as much and fiddle with programming and such.)  Anyway, so I haven't tried to uninstall the runtime c++ thingy because I don't know what it is.
    So, my next step was to contact Adobe.  Boy wasn't that a disappointment!!  $30 for phone support??!! When I can barely understand the person I'm speaking with?!  No thank you!!  I am very disappointed in Adobe customer service right now.  I could even understand maybe $10, but I am not a wealthy person and I have to be mindful of every dollar I spend.  When I could buy PSE 8 for $50 (with rebates) on Amazon right now, why would I spend $30 for support and not even be sure that they could fix the problem....
    Anyway, so here I am.  I am asking for help.  Yes, they directed me to the troubleshooting page which has 25 solutions (+ #26 which is paying the $30 for support).  I tried a couple of things, but frankly, I am right back to the issue of being terrified about changing or deleting anything on my system.  Plus, that solution list looks like it would take forever!  I don't have that kind of time.  I live on a very busy large farm and I am a homeschooling mom to three young children.  I don't have time to be fooling around with a program that should be working just fine.  Why can't these things be more simple??
    So, what should I do?  Is there a solution?  Or do I have to do the troubleshooting 25-step program? (Just sign me up for AA, too.  I'm sure I'll need it after all this.)  If that is the only thing I can try (other than the $30 support), should I just buy PSE 8?  I wonder if I would have the same problem with it.  I was led to believe that support for PSE 8 would be free (since it is a newer version).  Is that just an assumption on my part?
    So, any solutions or ideas??  (By the way, I wouldn't mind trying some of those 25 steps if someone could just tell me that they weren't going to totally mess up my system.)
    Thanks!

  • Elements 11 has stopped working.  Please help?

    Yesterday my computer shut down while I was working in Photoshop Elements 11.  Now when I try to get back in, it reads error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working.  Windows is trying to find a solution".  But it never does and then Editor just closes.  I looked at the forum and tried a few things people posted but nothing is working.  Please help.

    The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. This is because PSE saves your settings each time you close the application. Problems can sometimes occur if you don’t let the program close properly or if you launch another application too quickly whilst closing down Elements. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
    Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst  clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
    When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

  • I purchased Premiere Elements 13 a few weeks ago, it downloads without issue, but I can't open it. I get an error message that reads "Elements 13 has stopped working" HELP!!!

    I purchased this online, downloaded it without issue, and it won't open. I get an error message that states "Elements 13 has stopped working"
    I have removed it and redownloaded it several times, and still no luck... HELP!

    What computer operating system?
    Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
    factors before that.
    1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
    Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
    2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
    Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
    exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
    But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
    Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working... how can I make it work?

    Hi.  I have just bought a new copy of Photoshop Element 9.  It installed OK, but when I try to open the Editor, I get the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem", followed shortly by the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".  The only option then is Close Program.  The Organizer has the same problem.
    Does anyone know how to get it to work?  It hasn't just stopped working, it has never worked at all.  If anyone at Adobe are monitoring this thread, please can you tell me what the problem is and how to sort it out?  I tried the Adobe call-back service but all I got was a computer phoning me up, and no person available.
    Karen

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on Windows 7 Ultimate N.

    A few months ago, Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultinate N computer.  The photo editor still works and so does Adobe Premiere Elements 8.  Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?  I've done a lot of looking on the Internet with no luck.
    Thanks!

    Hi Michel
    Have tried those few things that seem to be still applicable to version 11 (as you will know it is not being maintained and stops at version 8).  
    However, I don't understand what is meant by "sometimes deleting it's saved preferences and registry entries fixes the problem.  To do that see these Adobe Tech. notes."   Unfortunately the link goes to a page which no longer exists.  I guess that rather than "deleting" the saved preferences the author means re-setting to default ?   "Deleting registry entries" is a task which should, as I understand it, only be done by those with a high degree of expertise.  I am not one of them !
    Any comment you have will be gratefully received.

  • Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working error message/Audio issues

    I'm working on a project for about a week. I almost finished it,  "shared" it to my computer, and watched it thru windows media player.  I thought of something else that I could add to the audio, so I went back into the project in PE10 and put small (2-3 seconds) audio clips on audio track 3.  Once I did that, PE 10 would not allow me to put any audio effects on that track.  (I went into some older longer projects that I have and it allowed me to put effects on any audio track).
    So, I moved my short audio clips to the Narration and Soundtrack tracks.  It finally highlighted the App;y button for the audio effects.  Now, the problem is that I can't play or click onthe timeline or move the timeline indicator without PE10 closing out of my video.  As soon as I try to do anything, it says "Adobe Premier Elements 10 has stopped working" and it closes the program.
    I can open my other projects and everything seems to work fine on those and it doesn't close out, but it won't allow me to do anything in this particular project.
    Again, I have been going into and out of the project for a week and all of the sudden it won't let me work on it.  It's only about a 3 minute project, so I don't know why it would have trouble.
    Oh, and it also un-rendered everything.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working"

    I got a copy of Premiere Elements 13 on "Black Friday" (one month ago).  I am using stabilization and sometimes get "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working".  I have been guessing at the problem and run several experiments - one being; stabilize a clip in it's own project and create an MP4 to use in the final project.  The latest clip seems to render fine, but crashes on playback (sometimes this happened on version 12 but not so consistently and often.  I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium, with 6GB RAM, 3.30GHz, Intel Core i3 - 4 core processor.  I use two monitors with the built-in video hardware.  Rendering max's out all four cores while stabilization taxes the RAM.  Where can I look to find out more details about this problem (only guessing with anything less)?  Thanks for the help.

    Ray
    Thanks for the reply with further details and results.
    The generalization is that you (manually) or the project (automatically) sets the project preset to match the properties of the source media.
    But, if you have more than one format to import, you can still import that "atypical" format into the project (a project cannot have more than one project preset). But, the Shake Stabilizer will not stabilize it since it's properties do not match the description of the project preset. You can easily understand this by looking at the description of the project preset that has been set for the project and comparing it with specification of your video source. But, I have not yet found that such a situation creates a project/program "stopped working" as in shutting down the project/program.
    I suspect a major factor when you run into a Shake Stabilized induced project/program shutdown is computer resource demands of the feature for the video which is requiring the stabilization. And, I have found that the stabilization times can be long.
    Consequently, if the Shake Stabilizer does not cause the project/program to shutdown when asked to stabilize a video clip (without other effects). I am very guarded in the outcome, especially stabilization times, when the Shake Stabilizer is asked to stabilize a video clip to which other effects have already been applied.
    We will looking forward to your results.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe premiere elements 13 has stopped working message

    Every time I open adobe premiere elements 13 and download any form of media, in about every 2-3 minutes when i'm editing my video, A message will come up stating that "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working." It forces me to close the application. I went to a computer expert and he said that my computer meets all the requirements of the software and even exceeds some of them since it's only 2 years old. Why does this keep on happening to me and how do I fix it?

    senseimike
    Premiere Elements 13 on what computer operating system?
    Have you updated 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    Now the usual drill questions...
    1. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator?
    3. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card. According
    to the Device Manager/Display Adapters, how many video cards/graphics cards is your computer using? Are you running
    a multi- monitor system?
    5. Is the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
    6. What are the properties of your source media including file extension and duration? Knowing brand/model/settings of the camera that
    recorded the videos is probably the quickest way to get at that needed information. What project preset are you (manually) or the project
    (automatically) setting?
    7. What specific edits are you doing in the project when the program crashes/shuts down? Is there any consistency to the "stopped working"?
    You talk about every 2 or 3 minutes in the workflow. But what is the size of the project by the time the problems set in....2 or 3 minutes
    from the time you started the project or 2 or 3 minutes after you have been working on the project for 10 to 90 minutes?
    Please review and consider the above, and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working

    Actually it has not worked yet.
    I just installed the Premiere Elements 10 -  again, followed all the details.
    My laptop is Acer Iconia 6102 dual screen touchbook
    Windows 7, Intel Core i5 CPU M480@ 2.67GHz, sys mem= 4gb
    Toshiba MK6465GSX disk drive, Intel HD Gaphics
    The computer is new.
    The dialogue says that Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working and will shut down.

    This machine has only the one drive listed, nothing hidden. 512 gb free, removed some unecessary files. I did manual updates for the hardware and all software, everything is up to date. Went through the preceeding steps. There was no need to scan suorce files, I have nothing uploaded. The program will not complete its startup. The splash page pops up,dialogue flashes all the drivers and files being loaded, then quits. Does not open. The Organizer opens, but I still cant get PE to open thru it either. My computer wont allow me to change resolution. Could the fact that this machine is touch screen, dual display have anything to do with it? Using up too much resources? The resuorce monitor is idle @ 0. My Windows Movie Maker works fine.

  • "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"...message

    I am very very very new to this...and have had so much trouble I'm ready to ask for a refund!  After installing and watching tutorials and not being able to load any pictures to the 'organizer'...(my autoplay does not show the "Organize and Edit Photos" or show the Photo Downloader...I finally called Customer Service.  He told me I needed to uninstal and reinstall.  Ok..I've done that.  But it's still not on Autoplay.  At least he showed me where the file menu is on the 'organizer', so I could get some pictures in there.  But when I click on 'Edit Photos', I get the pop-up message, "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"....It never HAS worked....This thing just came out of the box today and has too many problems for a newby like me.  What is the problem?  Actually, there are the two problems.  HELP!

    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working

    I cannot get my elements to work.  The following message pops up when I go to the front "editor" page:
      "Photoshop Elements 12 has stopped working".
    It's urgent that Elements works now - I don't have time to troubleshoot while I am editing 4,000 photos
    Thank you,
    Catherine

    This is the only way I have found to use PSE-12 since the "Stopped Working" problem appeared;  Perhaps Adobe can use this work-around to solve the problem:
    1. Press Shift and hold (until thumbnails appear).
    2. Open Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE)
    3. Select "My Catalog" or what you call it. (Note: I have PSE open Organizer directly.  I have 2 catalogs, My Catalog and Selling.)
    4. If you have 2 catalogs you must open "My Catalog" first.
    5. When the thumbnails appear you can release the Shift key.  You are in business.
    6.  To open the other catalog use File/Manage Catalogs, Select the other catalog and click Open. (Note:  If you open the secondary/other catalog first PSE will stop working.)
    This is a little more work to get started but I have been using it for 2-3 weeks now without the "Stopped Working" occurring.  Good Luck.

    I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package  I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation.  Still it didn't work.
    I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
    I appreciate your responses.
    Thank you!
    If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom.
