PSe 12, Editor always crashes??

Hi!
I bought PSe 12 within 6 months.
I first tried to install it on my labtop who runs Vista Sp2. Every time the installation process seems normal (I enter my serial number, et in the end Im told that installation succeeded)
But when I try to open Editor, a window apears with no error message, just "quit".
Organiser opens normally...
For a complete information I temporarly could install PSe12 on my pro labtop (who runs win.xp sp3(!!)) and everything is all right!
Why can't It normally runs at all on Vista?
What have I to do?
Please HEEEEEEELP!!!
Thank you for answering
TB

Try this:
1) Close PSE12 completely
2) Launch your Windows Explorer/File Manager
3) Go to: <C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0\Editor>
Username == Your Windows profile name such as: maelleyannis or whatever.
4) find a file called " Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Prefs.psp " and rename it to: "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Prefs.old "
5) Launch your PSE12 and see if it works now.
Good luck and please post back.

Elements 8.0 for Win XP Pro 2002 SP3 Editor always crashes

I just installed Elements 8.0 on a Win XP Pro SP3 machine with 2.5 GB of RAM and everytime I try to EDIT from the Welcome page or start the Editor from the Edit menu in Organizer I get a dialog box that it "loading the photoshop elements editor workspace...." and it crashes.    The error is the generic MS error dialog that says
"PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.   The AppName is PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe AppVer:8.0.0.0 ModName unknown ModVer 0.0.0.0 Ofset 00000004"
I can use the Organizer fine and have had NO problems there, but when I try to Create or Edit or anything other than the organizer I get this error.   I have been through all the basic troubleshooting of turning off other items in my startup (virus itunes, etc) and no change.   I also updated my Display Driver NVIDIA Quadro FX 500/600 PCI and all with NO luck.
Any ideas or is there somewhere I can get a live person for support?
thanks
Dan

Turns out it was my Dell AIO Printer Driver.....   I tried removing it after reading a few other post about PSE 8.0 Editor crashing in Windows 7. There were two other users that were having the same problem and both had the Dell AIO printers. My problem was with Windows XP Pro SP3 but uninstalling the driver did the trick
thanks

PSE on Mac ALWAYS crashes

Each time I want to save or saves as, PSE crashes. Completely restarted my Mac (iMac i7 with 12 Gb of memory and plenty of diskspace). OS X 10.6.7.
Any clues? Don't know what to do anymore...

Start up in Safe Mode. This will eliminate any and all third-party Start up items and almost everything you may have done to modify your OS. You will be using almost totally Apple supplied/needed file.
To start up in Safe Mode:
1. Shutdown the computer.
2. Wait 10.37912 seconds (or count to ten slowly, if you don't have an accurate atomic clock handy).
3. Start the computer, using the power button and immediately hold down the shift key (either one).
4. Keep holding the shift key until the startup process is complete (you see your Desktop).
Check <this Apple web page> for what this mode does and what will not work for the short time you'll be using your Mac in this manner.
Now, open PSE, edit a pixel or two and attempt to use the Save dialog. Please report back as to the reaction of the Mac. ;-)
Uhmmmn...there is no way to 'preview' ones posts before 'publishing?!

PSE 12 Organizer always crashing

Any ideas? Win 7. Have plenty of memory and horsepower in the laptop. Occurs even with other apps closed.

First repair and optimize your catalog. If you upgraded to mavericks after installing PSE it's absolutely critical to delete the old preferences before trying to run the program, and to repair permissions after doing that.
If none of those make a difference, it could be the auto analyzer that is at fault. Try step 4 here:

PSE 12 EDITOR CRASHES

The PSE editor keeps crashing. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Concerning the PSE-12 Editor, I find that this crashes after editing 10 to 20 JPEGs of ~20 Mpixels (not tried raw files yet). I have used at least three earlier versions of the editor on the same machine and in the same circumstances and none of them ever crashed (unlike the Organizer).
The crash either leaves a trace in the Event Log, just blocks, so one needs to kill the process with the Task Manager, or says that it has a lack of memory. These are the symptoms of a classic memory leak.
After getting advice from Adobe, I switch off all start-up processes with MSCONFIG, but the Editor still crashed (after 25 files this time).
Does anyone else have this problem? I would be very surprised if I am the only one...

PSE 7 Editor Crashes

I am using PSE7 on Windows 7 Pro. Have used this in the apst no porblem. The editor now crashes each time I try to bring it up. I have already renamed the TWAIN file with a ~ in fromt of the name and I have used the ctl+shift+alt to reset the editor settings file. All of these have not yeilded any results. The only software upgrade performed since loading PSE 7 has been to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader and install the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader Software.

PSE 9 Editor CRASH (Mac)

Hey all! I need a little help.
While I am trying to edit a photo I often select 'Place', 'Open', and adjust the layers. Since early this morning I have selected 'Place' to import a picture to my canvas in Editor. The program immediately closes and reads "An unexpected error occured." I then re-open and try selecting 'Open' to start editing a photograph not from the Organizer. The program immediately closes and reads "An unexpecte derror occured."
I have reset or deleted the preferences in PSE 9 Editor from the Welcome Screen on my Macbook. I have also renamed the Twain file name, and adjusted the RAM used by my software. I have also updated to PSE 9.0.3. Nothing has worked so far, and I am very confused as to what I should do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

PSE is a 32 bit application, so you can up the ram as far as it will go and it will still not address more than 3.2GB. However, ram-related crashes are almost unknown on macs (if your mac can run a current version of OS X it has enough ram). At this point I would uninstall via the uninstaller, then check around for any left over bits and bobs, and create a new admin user and reinstall there. See how it runs in that account before you switch back to your regular account.

What operating system are you using?
Have you applied the latest patch to PSE to bring it up to version 9.0.3?
Have you changed anything to PSE, such as installing a plug-in, or an action, or brushes?
Have you changed anything to your operating system, such as installing new hardware or updating device drivers, or installing or un-installing any software?

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 >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application:
C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Photoshop Elements 11
Within the Photoshop Elements 11 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (the application not the Adobe shortcut)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.
You should now be able to launch by right-clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen. Try choosing “Run As Administrator” That often improves stability.

Organizer always crashes in Photoshop Elements 9 on my iMac

Can anyone help? I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on my iMac. The problem I have is with Organizer 9. It always crashes each time I use it. I can activate Organizer and use it briefly for a few minutes but then it crashes! Does anybody have a fix for this problem. Thanks in advance. Brian

I can activate Organizer and use it briefly for a few minutes but then it crashes!
Is it doing anything in particular when it crashes? Did you repair permissions after installing PSE? If not, try 99jon's suggestion of deleting the preferences, and then repair permissions before trying again.

PSE 7 (Editor) Stopped Working & Premiere Elements Combo?

I have Windows Vista 64 Bit Edition HP Media Center LapTop and Windows XP Serv Pack 3 on a Gateway PC. I have been getting this (Editor) Unavailable error mesg in PSE 7 for Over a week Now. Have checked Online and completed every available Windows Updates for both systems. Yeah Tech Support wanted $$ to assist-These are newer products for me- and when I purchased I registered online-the Online does recognize my login-but does not show these registered under my account-called the activation line and they gave me a "Customer I.D. after getting HA reading Adobe site-I can see no available downloads or patches spec to this issue. Please help-since they do not offer option of getting my money back for software that does not work as promised-it is supposed to support both/either of my operating systems and this mesg is coming up for both. Wonder if their not showing these products "activated" has any impact??? Have a time sensitive project trying to complete and this is an S.O.S.

PSE 8 Editor will not launch-Please HELP!

I purchased PSE 8 and installed it to my computer, which meets all system requirements.
After everything was installed, I opened and Adobe ID account. When the welcome screen appears and I click on "Edit" the screen says "Launching Editor" for about 3 seconds, stops, and then nothing happens. I read the "Read Me" section that comes with the software and it mentions a problem with the Editor Launcher having trouble initializing. The instructions are to click "Edit" from the welcome screen, then click SHIFT+ALT+CTRL (or whatever order, I've tried everything) and then click "YES" for rebuilding editor launching preferences. Well, when I click "Edit" and SHIFT+ALT+CTRL, NOTHING happens!!!! I don't get any kind of response.
I have unistalled, reinstalled... I am so frustrated. I have used PSE 3 in the past and have never had any trouble. I have already wasted 2 hours on this program and I haven't even used it!
Please help me,

Anyone got an ideas????
