PSE 10 won't open a 2nd time

I just installed PSE 10 (editor and organizer) on Windows 7 machine. I set the welcome screen not to display and go straight to editor. Editor opens once but won't open again unless I restart the machine. I looked in task manager and it seems to hang up there (does not show it's using any memory but just sitting there) once I hit end process then I can open it again. 2nd quirk is that when I hit the house in upper right corner to access the welcome screen (in both editor and organizer) it will not come up.
This is the 1st time I've ever had any problems with an elements program when loading it. I've read some of the troubleshooting documents but am not comfortable with changing msconfig or the like just to get this to run. I removed Elements 9 prior to the installing of this and loaded a NIK add on after installing PSE10 which seemed to add on ok.
Anyone have any ideas before I return this to Costco and go back to 9?

Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor.
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

HI,
If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
With Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself (on it's own) and restart iChat (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

Panel won't open the first time

The accordion works fine on this page, but the first panel won't open the first time.
It only opens the second time you click on it.
The other panels are fine....any ideas?
http://www.palettedesign.com/staging/al/weddings.html

You need to remove defaultPanel: -1 from your script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 }); </script>
This is near the bottom of your document. You may as well delete this entire line, though, because you have a duplicate below that doesn't have the defaultPanel:-1 variable.

Can't Open PDF 2nd time

I can't open a pdf the 2nd time I open the file. Works fine on other PC's with XP & 7, Adobe versions 9 through 11. But on this PC (XP) I can not open the file on any Adobe Reader version either from the desktop or the original CD it cam on. It will open fine the first time after I uninstall Adobe Reader then re-install it. On the 2nd attempt I get a message that the file is either damaged or a file type unsupported. it will still open fine on other computers. What am I missing? Is there some setting on this computer to change? Any suggestions? Thanks

Can you please let me know the following:
1. Which version of the Adobe Reader are you using. Please let me know the exact version by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.
2. How exactly are you opening the file on you system. Are you opening it by double clicking on the PDF or by navigating to File > Open and then selecting the file. Please try both ways and let me know if you see the same behavior.
3. Is the file present on your local disk or on a network location?
4. Are you trying to save the file post opening it in Adobe Reader?
5. Can you try saving the following file on to your system (under say C:\) and then try opening the same twice. Does it result in the same behavior.

App store won't open after running time machine reinstall

my HD crashed last week, got it replaced and just got my iMac back (20" intel). I ran a restore from my Time Machine backup from before the crash (took forever, but finished).
All looked fine but I found two problems...
1) Safari would crash without opening. I fixed that by just downloading and reinstalling Safari.
2) the App store does the same thing. the icon jumps a few times and then just stops and won't open. Unfortunately, it's part of the OS and it doesn't seem Apple allows direct downloads of the App Store app. I'm current on my OS so I'm not sure how to fix this problem.
Again, summary, restore from Time Machine, App Store won't open, OS is up-to-date. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

IBooks won't open the first time

IiBooks will not open the first time white screen only. It takes 3-4 tries to actually open it

You need to remove defaultPanel: -1 from your script:

CS5 - Double clicking won't open files at times.

This randomly happens with both jpegs and RAW files.
Going to File > Open, opens them every time.
Why don't my photo files open every time with double-clicking? This does not happen with my CS3 and does not happen with any other type of files.

This FAQ relates to Photoshop 7 through CS4, so it may be worth checking wheter it applies to CS5 for this very same issue too:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370710?tstart=0
Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file…
Note the last part about the missing "Adobe Unit Types" file in the Scripting Additions folder of the root level Library.
Another solution courtesy Anne Shelbourne
Open your Previous System folder.
Find "Adobe Unit Types".
Copy it into: <Your current system Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
Then reboot your Mac.
However, if you happen to be running a non-English version, like Photoshop CS CE or Photoshop CS ME, it appears the missing file does not get installed. You would need to install and delete the international English version first.
I'm just speculating that this may apply in CS5 too as I don't have this latest version of Photoshop.

I am receiving an error message and PSE won't open

Hi. I've been using this laptop (Windows Vista) and PSE7 since the beginning of this year.
Last night, when I went to open up PSE, 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.'
But, it doesn't give me a solution.
I rebooted. Then I shut down and turned off the computer over night.
PSE is still not working.
Any suggestions?
What do I need to do to get it going?
Thanks,
Charlene

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

Premier Elements 8 won't open the second time

After I installed Pre8 I went in, changed my preferences and created a 'dummy' project just to see how it worked. After I exited I tried to restart the program and it wouldn't open (either "New Project" or "Open Project"). The progress indicator spins and spins and then stops. Organizer opens right up. I tried all the steps in KB article 51427 with no results. I've installed the program 4 times at this point. I then used a system image I had created in Win7 to roll back my system to when it was freshly installed to avoid conflicts with other programs and installed Pre8 again with all the defaults. No difference. The only 'odd' thing is when I try step 5 in the troubleshooter - recreate the preferences folder - I get an error message saying that "the folder or a file in it is open in another program". All the other steps in the troubleshooter don't help but I don't get an error message with them. At this point there are no other programs installed except for the OS itself. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

SKTGH87,
Very sorry but I have nothing to do with Adobe. I am an ordinary user of
Premiere Elements 8.0 as you are.
I tried all the suggested remedies and now my PrE is rather stable. But I
can't say which of them helped.
Good luck!
Alexander
PS
It is an answer to SKTGH87's message which somehow appeared in my postbox. I replied and to my surprise this personal reply appeared here in the forum. It's time for me to start studing forum tricks.

Elements 10 won't open a second time

Hi,
I am running on the Windows 7 platform - 64bit system - 4GB Ram - 488GB free disk space.
When I first start up Elements 10 it opens fine. If I close the program and then go back it will not open up a second time from ether the desktop or the exe file in the program file.
If I re-boot, it performs in exactly the same way as above. If I go directly a photo and say open up with Photoshop this works fine.
Has anyone had this problem? if so can you please help.
Regards
Keith

If it's leaving a zombie process, that's not part of the application's programming. It certainly never happens on my computer. Plus, the Welcome screen itself is a separate executable, even if it is itself left open, this will not prevent the Editor or Organizer from launching.
Far be it for me to accuse Adobe of intentionally creating zombies!
However, here on Win7 x64, running in a standard user account, when the Editor or Organizer is launched from the Unwelcome Screen there is often (not always) a zombie process left running. It can be seen in the Task Manager's "Processes" tab, and killing that process allows the Editor or Organizer to be launched again.
Brett N wrote:
However, if we are encountering an issue here with permissions, it could be a result of launching the Editor/Organizer (by the way is it one, the other, or both?) because the system, for whatever reason, requires hightened permissions that are not granted when one application launches another.
I'll leave it to the product development team to determine whether or not it's a permissions issue. I use the recommended Best Practices for computing -- only running by logging in as a standard user account. My opinion is that except for specialized system maintenance software (and installation procedures) no software should require running as an administrator.
Brett N wrote:
But the OP does mention that even launching from the executable, not just the desktop shortcut, exhibits the same behavior.
That is consistent with the effects of the zombie process.

PSE WON'T OPEN!

PSE 6 has worked fine for years. I've never had it crash like this. I resolved the craches of a few days ago by deleting the TWAIN preference (I think it was a preference). I thought all was well and it was for a few days. Now I click and immediately get a crash notice. NO blue circle like before! I did all the maintance a couple of days ago and even reintalled PSE several times. I deleted everything I could that was PSE so what is left to do?
Please HELP!

Did you reset your application preference files? I ask because if they are stored outside of the program folder and are not fixed by an uninstall/reinstall.

IDVD won't open a second time!

I create movies with iMovie HD (as I am really very disappointed in the newer version), then move it to iDVD. Everything works fine and runs great. I can even make a disk image and burn a DVD. BUT...... when I close iDVD and then try to open it again, it refuses to open the movie I just made! This happens about half the time I make movies.
Examples:
~ I made a very large movie of a vacation we just took (in iMovie) and it would not even import into iDVD... I had to break the movie up into three different movies so I could!
~ The last one I made is very small (smaller than many of the others I have made in the past). While it goes in fine and I have successfully made a DVD, it now refuses to open at all in iDVD!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anytime an application does not work properly, you need to delete its preference file. Close iDVD. Go to your Home folder (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will create a new one when you relaunch it.
Reopen iDVD and see if it is more stable now.
If not, close it again, and open Disk Utility. Select your computer's drive by its name, and choose to 'repair disk permissions.'
Now try iDVD again.
If still not working properly, you should log onto your computer as a different person/account.
If it still does not reopen properly, you need to reinstall iDVD.

How do i open PDF documents in forefox. they won't open at this time.

if there is a PDF document on a website and i click on it to open it, i get either a blank screen or there is no reaction (the screen stays the same with no change, as if i had not clicked on the icon)

After beating my head against the wall, I went into the iPhone with PhoneBrowse, a free Windows utility that lets you browse files and directories. Two of the directories under the Adobe Reader App are "Documents" and "Library". iTunes placed all of the PDFs in the Documents directory. Grasping for any straw, I put one PDF in the Library directory.
After closing PhoneBrowse, I went back to the iPhone and opened Adobe Reader. Voila, all PDFs in the Documents directory were there. I went back to PhoneBrowse and deleted the extra PDF from the Library directory. It was sort of like I hit the application up the side of the head and woke it up. Putting that extraneous file in the Library appears to have made Adobe Reader stop automatically opening the "Getting Started" PDF.

Editor won't open on newly installed PE8

I just got PE 8 for Christmas and installed it on my computer today. I am running XP, and my computer meets or exceeds all the requirements for the program to work. When I open the software, the Organizer works fine, but the Editor won't open. Every time I click on it it "thinks" for a minute, and then the Windows error window pops up telling me to send an error report. I've restarted my computer numerous times to no avail. I haven't uninstalled it and tried it again yet because I got a message saying I needed to deactivate the serial number to uninstall, and that made me nervous so I didn't do it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, I was so excited to get to use the software and am now completely frustrated that it won't work. Thank you!

Try the following. I put it in an older post in this forum Jan 4 I believe.
Called PSE tech support and had it working in 5 minutes.
goto C:/Program Files(X86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 8.0/Locales/en_us/Plug-ins/import-export    and file
   Twain_32    has to be renamed to   ~Twain_32      .
next goto   C:/Windows/twain_32          in this directory I had to remove a folder called Dell which was associated with an A940 printer that doesn't work on windows 7.   The only file left was    wiatwain.ds    .
with the 2 above change PSE came right up in editor mode.
My system is a Quad core from Dell 630i, 8 GB ram and running Windows 7.
maybe same problem in XP, don't know.
