PSE 11 Editor with Windows 7 won't start

Running Windows 7 with automatic and frequent updates. Adobe PSE 11 and Lightroom 4.4 64-bin. Lightroom works.
When I start PSE 11 it loads the welcome screen. If I choose Organize, that opens.
If I choose the Photo Editor, the PSE Credits screen flashes rapidly and then a failure message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I read through the forum messages I could find and tried these approaches
Cleared out the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SICache folder
Temporarily disabled my security software. Microsoft Security Essentials - Real Time Protection - (turned it off)
At the PSE Welcome screen I held down CTRL-ALT-SHIFT and clicked. When prompted I agreed to DELETE the PSE Settings file.
I found the executibles in C:\Program FIles (x86)\Adobe\PSE11, that is
PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
In the Elements11Organizer Folder
PSE Organizer.exe
PSE11.exe
I set all three executibles to Run as Administrator for all users.
Still no change in the behavior of PSE 11. Editor wont start. See my first paragraph.

An update.
I found my serial number and again downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11.
That seems to have solved my problem. From Lightroom 4 I can now right click on a photo and Edit in Photoshop Elements Editor.

Bootcamp with Windows 7 won't start with upgraded RAM

Hello!
I upgraded my RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb.
OS X works fine but bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wont start. The screen goes black and white cursor is blinking at the top left corner. I have waited several minutes but nothing happens.
When I remove the ram I just installed, Windows 7 will start normally.

Are there any other options here? This is quite frustrating. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Bootcamp, and upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB (bought Crucial RAM, which should be completely compatible). When I try to boot Windows, I get the blinking cursor hung. This is the ONLY thread I have been able to find that relates directly to this issue. I started to re-install Windows from the bootable install disc, but that tells me it will re-install Windows, and save all the old data in a volume called "Windows.old" and that I can access this data but "will not be able to use my old version of Windows." Maybe that's OK. Since I use my Windows partition exclusively for gaming and 3D sculpture work, I am pretty sure I can just pull all the appropriate data and re-install it in the new version of Windows. But I am leery of going through all this after reading the tale of woe told here that says that even re-installing with 8 GB RAM fresh does not work. Does anyone know of any other resources or options here? I can't even get to "Safe" mode - just a black screen and the blinking cursor.....arrrrgh! Any help greatly appreciated!

PSE 5 with Windows 8 problems

I've already posted a couple of problems with my PSE 5 with Windows 8, the main being it won't connect with my camera even though it is in the menu. I also wonder why when I click on updates, the box states it is unable to check for update for this product. How strange is that? This elements 5 worked perfect with my Windows XP even opening automatically to get photos. I'm not very good with all this tech stuff, but am ready to just uninstall it for good. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make it get the photos and updates?

Yes. I never used it to edit or really ever learned about using it! I only
ended up using it to grab my photos and organize them. I never like my
pictures, so maybe the new windows version will be better. I have my canon
rebel which I can use to get the photos. I just like the elements as I am
used to it now. It's weird that out of 5 times, I got it to get my photos
once! But ever since I added the service pack suggested to me, it has done
nothing and even disappeared from the task bar icons. Guess it's no meant
to stay! Thanks!

Windows 7 Won't Start Up from Boot Camp

I got a new 21.5" iMac and set up a boot camp partition for a Windows 7 64-bit installation. It worked. I installed the latest boot camp drivers into the Windows 7, which was wonderful because it fixed the display to match my iMac's specs. Then I installed the latest Parallels 5 and had it recognize that Windows 7 system, and have been using it without problem. But I tried this evening to use boot camp to start up the Windows 7 system by itself and although I got a choice of Mac OS or Windows via the option-startup process, and selected the Windows startup, Windows 7 won't start up that way. I just get a black screen with a blinking white horizontal line in the upper-left corner. I keep waiting but it never gets past this. Tried turning it off and starting again, still no luck. Booted back into Mac side and Parallels VM of the installation still works.
Any help appreciated. I should still be able to boot into Windows 7 straight using boot camp, no?

I should add that I just installed 8GB of RAM to the 4GB the iMac came with. Possibly now that the total machine has a 12GB of RAM the Windows 7 system is confused and can't start up?

My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.

My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.
I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
Thanks

A couple of other things you might like to try :-
- Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ? Can you access the Windows 8 store ? ) If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection. If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
- Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
- Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
- As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall.
One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did. I'm using it now !

Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

Windows 7 won't start.

I have a mac pro and use to boot camp to use windows 7. Windows 7 won't start and it's stuck in a loop. How can I prevent windows 7 from booting and get snow leopard to boot?
thanks for your help!

Hi,
reboot your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option key to get a Selection Screen on which you can choose to boot into OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.

Windows Vista won't start or install - firmware or EFI problem?

I am running Snow Leopard on a 2.4GHz MacBook Pro, late 08 - early 09 model. I have been using boot camp to run Vista for the past year with no problem. This morning, I tried to start up Vista and it wasn't working. I got the option key screen to choose between OSX and Vista, but after choosing vista, the cursor blinks once and I get a black screen. The computer is quiet and nothing seems to be running.
At first I thought it was a boot camp problem. So I went into OSX, de-partitioned the drive, and repartitioned it. I then stuck the Vista install disk in, and clicked through the boot camp assistant to reinstall. The computer restarted to begin the reinstall process, but instead of starting the install disk, it did the same thing - a single blip of cursor, and then a black screen.
I'm not technically savvy, but that seems like it's not a Windows problem, but a firmware or EFI problem. The computer will run OSX, but it won't run boot camp and it won't start from a CD-ROM. The only other steps I've taken are to run Software Update and the Disk Utility from Safari. Neither helped. I'm out of warranty and would love to be able to fix it without spending tons of money. Any help is appreciated.

open terminal, run the following command:
sudo gpt -r show -l /dev/disk0
(press return, enter admin password, press return again)
output should look something like this:
Betsy7:~ kj$ sudo gpt -r show -l /dev/disk0
Password:
gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0
start size index contents
0 1 MBR
1 1 Pri GPT header
2 32 Pri GPT table
34 6
40 409600 1 GPT part - "EFI System Partition"
409640 316879664 2 GPT part - "RAPTOR"

585989753 82582
586072335 32 Sec GPT table
586072367 1 Sec GPT header
The first line:
"gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0"
should be identical to mine. If the "Suspicious MBR"
line is missing, then it is a GPT problem, which indicates
that the MBR information is missing or more likely corrupt.
also the second and third lines will read:
start size index contents
0 1 PMBR
instead of:
start size index contents
0 1 MBR
If the MBR info in the GPT partition is corrupt or missing,
then (obviously) Windows won't be bootable.
The only tool reliably capable (that I know of) of repairing (rebuilding) the GPT/EFI
without wiping off all partitions and repartitioning the drive
is iPartition:
http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php
The command line program "gpt" is incomplete, so use
it at your own risk:
BUGS
The development of the gpt utility is still work in progress. Many necessary features
are missing or partially implemented. In practice this means that the manual page,
supposed to describe these features, is farther removed from being complete or useful.
As such, missing functionality is not even documented as missing. However, it is believed
that the currently present functionality is reliable and stable enough that this tool can be used
without bullet-proof footware if one thinks one does not make mistakes.

Adobe PSE 8 with Windows 8

I have Adobe PSE 8 on our laptop with Windows 7 but we got a new laptop with Windows 8 and my software won't load on the new laptop. I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong or if it isn't compatible. I don't mind upgrading to Adobe PSE 13 but am concerned I will have trouble with all my existing PSE files. Please advise.

Hi,
I can't be certain, but I can't see any reason why PSE 8 shouldn't be compatible with Windows 8.1.
Do you get any error message when trying to install PSE 8?
If you were to upgrade to PSE 13, there should not be any problem with your existing files. It would be best to use the organizer's Backup Catalog to hard drive on the old computer and then the restore catalog on the new computer. That way both the catalog information and the photos will be transferred across.
I suggest that you make sure that there are no missing files in your current system.

Satellite L650D-10J - Windows 7 won't start

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J, Windows 7 64Bit, 4GB RAM and it won't start Windows 7. It starts and then you see Toshiba logo startup etc. and then it goes to black and it loads up Windows Bootmanager with the following message ;
+A problem to your computer occurred while communicating with a device that is connected.+
+This error may be caused by an external storage device such as an external USB drive, the device while in use, or damaged hardware such as a hard disk or CD-ROM drive disconnect that is damaged. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.+
+contact the hardware manufacturer if you still see this error.+
+Status: 0xc00000e9+
+Information: An unexpected I / O error occurred.+
(it was translated out of dutch so there are some sentences that aren't correct.)
I've tried downloading a Windows 7 recovery disc, burnt it on DVD. It works I'll get to choose to set it back when it was working correct (I get an error) or use a Windows 7 from disc (doesn't work). And if I start in safe mode I can see that it stops and freezes at file; disk.sys
Anyone an idea?
Greetings,

Hello
And have you connected external USB device as the error message says? If yes remove all USB devices and try to start your notebook again.
Fact is if you cant start in safe mode your OS is muddled up and the only option to get rid of this is reinstalling Windows.
Are you using the preinstalled Windows 7 version from Toshiba? If yes go into advanced boot menu of Windows pressing F8 key where you can select safe mode, etc. and choose Repair my computer option. Then select Toshiba HDD recovery and factory settings will be restored. Also check this article about HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
If HDD recovery doesnt work you need an original Toshiba recovery disk. If you didnt create this disk just order a new one here:

Adobe PSE 8 with Bamboo Captures Won't install

I just bought 2 Bamboo Captures by Wacom and went to install one on my Mac OS X 8. For some reason I can't download the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. It stops at the installing page - nothing happens. It installed perfectly on my MacBook Pro & our other iMac OS X 8. I even tried using the disk that came with the other Bamboo and it still won't install. I used MacKeeper to clean things up and then restarted the computer and still it won't install. I am an absolute layman when it comes to computers. Help!

IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

In Photoshop Elements12 (with Windows 8.1) added titles to my pictures do not appear in Windows. Formerly, in PSE 6 (with Windows Vista) added tiltles also appeared in Windows.

Formerly using Photoshop Elements 6 with Windows Vista I could add (or change) titles to my pictures in the Organizer and find the same titles afterwards also in Windows. Nowadays using Photoshop Elements 12 with Windows 8.1 and adding titles to my pictures in the Organizer I do not find these titles in Windows any more. That makes me sad because I want to have the titles in Windows but adding the titles is much more comfortable in Photoshop Elements than in Windows. Please tell me: Is there a help for me?

I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience. That's more a
matter of your display driver not really doing its job. What video card do you have?
FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7. That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment. It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
trying to make improvements.
If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop. I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running. I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
and it just kept working fine...

PSE 6 with Windows 7 - three cursor images

This is a new problem. I have PSE 6 and Windows
7. Everytime I use the move tool, it shows up as three cursor images
on my work page.
To be sure it isn't the combination of the PSE6 with W/7
I downloaded PSE 9 trial.
I am still having the same problem with a fresh new download.
Anyway to correct this?
Other tools look normal on the page.
~appreciate any help~

Thank you very much - worked like a charm.
It is nice to get help, programs can get so frustrating.
