PS8 Elements won't launch editor

On start up of the program where it gives you the option to organize or edit, edit usually launches the editor and I can work in it. It brings up the load bar but then just goes away and I'm still at the same start up. Nothing has changed on my computer that I know of, I'm the only user. Not sure what happened, just woke up one day wanting to use it and it did this. Any help would be appreciated cause I really don't have the money to go buy another program.

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 8\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.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
What link are you using for the Adobe Application Manager? Is it the following
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager

Creative Suite 6 elements won't launch.

I have previously been able to launch from this computer. I have a registration number and have registered the product. I have tried to re-execute, have removed and reloaded the programs, but nothing seems to fix it. InDesign doesn't get past 'Calling Late Initialisers', and PhotoShop and Acrobat X don't even try to start.

Sorry. I'm using Windows XP, patched to Service Pack 3.
Is this the information you were asking for?

ELEMENTS won't launch on Windows 7

I downloaded Elements13 on my PC with Windows 7 and it doesn't launch. What should I do next? I uninstalled and then re installed. Now what??

Hello,
Something on Windows is preventing Organizer to initialize.
A clean boot would allow to disable third party services and applications that start up with Windows.
Try launching Organizer. If it is working, a service or application was causing the issue.
Reactivate services/applications by group to find the culprit

Photoshop Elements 13 Editor workspace won't launch

Hi, I have recently downloaded Elements 13 for my windows 8 64 bit PC. I can launch the organiser ok but when I try to launch the Editor it asks me to sign in, this then comes up with the licensing window and when I accept, I get the message launching editor workspace, this stays on for a few seconds before disappearing with nothing happening. If I try again, the same thing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software to no avail
Please help

Hi,
Can you please share the logs?
You can use the Adobe Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

Elements 12 organiser and Photo Editor won't launch

I had to uninstall Elements 12 and then re-install it but now I cannot open Photo Organizer or Photo Editor - PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP. I find the support for this programme very scarce!!!!

Hi,
Yes renaming means renaming to something like newopm.db but this solution might not work for you.
See there are two issues mentioned above:
Case 1.Sign in window keeps on appearing again and again
Case 2.Editor does not load but keeps on churning
opm.db solution solution is for Case1 and for Case 2 you need to rename SLCache folder @ <<C:\Program Files (x86)(or Program Files for 32 bit machine)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache >> and then try to launch editor
Thanks,

Premiere Elements 11 won't launch

G'day,
I downloaded the trial version of PRE11 a few weeks ago, but I couldn't get it to run. Upon launch I get the welcome screen with two choices, to launch the Organizer or the Video Editor, but neither of these actually start. It seems as it is trying though, as I see a scrolling line below my choice after clicking it. No error code or anything like it, it simply won't start (and I don't see any process starting either).
Nevertheless, a few days ago I bought PRE11 (Win/Mac DVD, English) and installed it. Exactly the same behaviour as with the trial, apart from one thing. When I try to lanuch the Video Editor I get the licence agreement. After agreeing, it's the same thing though, nothing happens.
I've read this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4773135) and tried to see if I had any of the symptoms described, or if any of the suggested solutions worked. So far, no luck. I tried Large_Donkey's solution (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4893868#4893868) with the msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll files, but it didn't make any difference. Same thing with VDOsurfer's reply (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4903592#4903592) I also tried primarykeytech's suggestion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4905283#4905283) and downloaded Dependency Walker and ran both Premiere Elements 11.exe and Premiere Elements.exe. At first, it reported that IEShims.dll and gpscv.dll was missing/couldn't be loaded, so I added these to the Premiere Elements folder. Then I got a message (still while running Premiere Elements.exe in Dependency Walker) saying that sysntfy.dll was missing, so I added this one as well to the Premiere Elements folder. After this, I still get three messages in Dependency Walker, but no further description on which files it can't find:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And none of these changes made any difference, I tried to launch the Video Editor and/or Organizer, but it's the same thing; won't launch, no error message. I've now resetted everything back to the way it was on installation, and tried to continue finding any solution.
Some specs, even if maybe not all of these are relevant. If any other specs are needed, just inform me.
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
CPU: Intel i7 950 3,06GHz
PSU: Corsair HX 650W
RAM: Corsair XMS 12GB DDR3 2000MHz
Graphics: Nvidia/Gigabyte GTX 460

Drives: 2x500GB WD Black HDD (programs and data), 1x120GB Intel X25-M SSD (OS)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I tried the blacklist approach by adding a "blacklist.txt" file to the VST plugins folders I have, but to no avail. I also read the last post you made in the "Failure of Premiere to Launch - One Possibility VST's" thread, with the answers from Adobe Engineering. As that post was made almost 2 years ago, I somehow think this wouldn't be an issue in PrE 11 anymore?
Anyway, while trying to launch Premiere Elements.exe ~200 times the last 24h, I've not noticed anything strange in Event Viewer, no errors or warnings connected to the launch of PrE (or, for that matter, no errors or warnings at all during the time I try to launch the program). One thing I did notice, though, is that the process Premiere Elements 11.exe actually starts (I chose not to display the welcome screen every time, but to launch the Video Editor right away) but then quickly terminates. Utually it manage to get between 15-20MB of memory before it crashes and terminate the process, only takes 1 or 2 seconds from launch to termination.
Slowly losing my hope to actually discover the cause, as I'm shooting in the dark evey time (not getting any error messages or hints on what actually fails). Really needed to use PrE this week, maybe have to find some free alternative on the interwebs.
Regards Henrik
Edit: Searching deeper on the Adobe forums regarding VST scanning issues with PrPro/E, and it baffles me how long this error seems to have been going on, even if it's not 100% certain that is the error in my case.
Edit2: Once again a shot in the dark, but I'm thinking my troubles may be due to multiple hard drives? As things are scattered over 3 discs (OS on one, programs on the second one and personal data on the third one) this might cause some path/reference issues? I was thinking this since Depencency Walker gives me the following error messages:
"Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."
And it also states that it can't find IESHIMS.DLL and GPSVC.DLL (a road I already have been down earlier). This got me thinking PrE can't find the correct files from where it is installed (E:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Elements 11). On the other hand, I'm getting the exact same error messages on Photoshop CS5 (which runs fine), and the same two dll files seems to be missing. Even tried running a few other programs that work, such as games, though Depencency Walker, and even they seems to miss these dll files.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Won't launch

My motherboard died. I put a new motherboard in and have been reinstalling the OS (Windows 7 Professional) and reinstalling all of the programs. I successfully re-downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and entered my license key and it installs. When I launched it, it came up to the welcome screen, but when I try to open the Organizer or the Editor, it won't launch! I switched to startup in the Organizer versus the Welcome Screen and now it won't launch at all!
I uninstalled the program and tried reinstalling. It installed, but the program will not launch!

Hi,
Try starting the two applications directly by creating shortcuts to the following files.
Organizer: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
Editor "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
If you need help with creating the shortcuts then come back and I will explain how to do it.

I cannot get premiere elements 10 to launch. Restarted, uninstalled, reinstalled. Won't launch

My recommendation would be to contact Adobe, since they have the ability to walk you through some troubleshooting steps. But it looks like they've already thrown it to us!
1) Have you manually gone to Windows Update and ensured you have even the non-critical updates (which can include important drivers)?
2) Have you manually gone to the ATI or nVidia sites and ensured you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?
3) Have you cleaned your temp files and defragmented your drive(s)?
4) Have you ensured that the program's licensing has not corrupted? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/542377
Finally, you say the program won't launch. At what point does it fail? Do you get a Welcome Screen? Does it only fail when you try to open yesterday's project or does it also fail if you try to start a new project?
Another other details you can provide could also be helpful including: How fast your processor is, how much RAM you have, how much free, clean defragmented space is on your hard drive(s) and if you are editing on your C drive or if you have your media and project files on another drive.

Can only launch editor once from elements 11, then have to re boot.

Can only launch editor once from Elements 11, then must re boot.

Please launch Editor once directly from its exe keeping Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys pressed. Delete the settings file when prompted.
See if this helps.
The exe can be located at - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe

Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

Barbara,
Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

Using photoshop elements 12 as external editor in Aperture 3.5.1

I have been using photoshop elements 12 as external editor to resize some photos and add some refinements not available in aperture....
It look like the file I send to PE becomes HUGE but is not marked as a separate version.....there is a little mark in lower right corner..
Is this correct?normal?
It is a problem, because I am also trying to use focus stacking software and it won't stack files with huge size differences...
thanks
sailmom

oh wow!
I started with a .orf (olympus omd em1) RAW file 13.73 MB...
I just right clicked to edit in photoshop elements...
so the one beside it...is 40.51.....it does not say new version but it has the "dot" on lower right.....
so I don't understand all the intricacies of this...but I am guessing sending a file out of Aperture gets a huge file in return.....
thanks!
