PSE 12 editor will not launch

I am sorry if this is a duplicate but I don't think my first one posted.
I have the full version but the editor will not launch.  It asks for my Adobe password and then the screen goes blank.
Should I uninstall it and try again?

Under C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0\editor\ there are files on the desktop which are not on the laptop (see the next three screen shots).  Does this have anything to do with it?  Why wouldn’t they be on the laptop since I loaded it from the same CD?
Is the version on the laptop not registered or activated?

  • PSE Photo Editor will not launch

    Bought PSE12 on 9/5/14 with new camera.  Installed and runs fine on Windows 7 desktop.  Installs on laptop.  Everything except Photo Editor will launch on the laptop.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times.  It has made no difference

  • 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,

    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:

  • My photoshop elements 12 editor will not launch

    when I click on photoshop elements 12 editor it will not launch

    Did you have to reinstall it?  I had Photoshop Elements 12 on my laptop; worked fine and I enjoyed it.  I had to do a system restore on my laptop; not related to Photoshop.  Afterwards, I reinstalled PhotoShop Elements and it won't launch for me.  A message appears that says my trial has expired.  I never had a trial version; I just purchased the software. Tech support is...well, not supportive.  I've spent hours with them with no success and I'm told my issue is a known issue but I guess there is no fix.  They just tell me to contact them again if it doesn't work...well, duh that's why I contacted them in the first place.

  • PSE 10 will not launch after installation of new hard drive

    Hello Everyone,
    I spent a considerable amount of time chatting with the Adobe Help Center yesterday trying to rectify this problem.  In a nutshell, I had to get my harddrive replaced yesterday and when I tried to re-launch the program it says that I am misssing components and to un-install and re-install (I get that message  when I try to launch Organizer).  When I try to launch the editor, the icon bounces for a bit in the doc and then just dissappears.  Once again, I am going to uninstall and reinstall, but I know I'm missing a step.  I thought for a moment that I didn't have enough memory to install properly, but I have plenty.  With the help of the Abode help desk, I did make sure tht my permissions were set correctly, but this did nothing to solve the problem.  I was able to reinstall Lightroom, no problem, but PSE is giving me a headache. 
    Also, I did get an error 5 message yesterday. 
    Any other ideas out there??

    OS X 10.8.2

    Mmarlin1974 you confirmed one of my suspicions which was that you restored the software initially from your Time Machine volume.  This can lead to a variety of issues such as what you are experiencing.
    I searched and I did not find anything specific on a configuration error 5.
    My best advise would be to format, reinstall, and only restore your documents and settings from your Time Machine volume.  Adobe applications are not currently designed to be simply copied from one computer to another which is what basically happens when you restored it from Time Machine.  I have seen Users who have restored from Time Machine, or have utilized the Migration Assistant, spend days trying to recover.  They often have undocumented errors which are difficult to track down due to the failure of the copying process.  By copying only your documents and settings it helps ensure you don't end up having additional difficulties such as those you are currently experiencing.

  • PSE13 editor will not launch (windows 7)

    I have seen other posts like this one but have not gotten any answer form the forum people.
    I just tried chatting with adobe people three times and the last time they took over my computer and did some tinkering and then kicked me off the chat.  Still doesn't work.
    I have tried renaming files, I have tried getting updated application manager, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have updated windows fully...nothing has helped. 
    Does anyone know how to get my PSE13 editor to launch?

    See if this helps any. Substitute 13 for 12 in the file path:

  • I have installed pse 9 however the organizer will not launch, getting error 1310.

    I HAVE INSTALLED PSE 9  HOWEVER THE ORGANIZER WILL NOT LAUNCH. I CAN USE THE EDITING FEATURE HOWEVER THE ORGANIZER WILL NOT WORK I GET AN ERROR 1310. i HAVE SPENT OVER 12 HOURS WITH ADOBE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE SO FREAKN ANNOYING AND USELESS. CAN SOMEONE HELP

    What all Adobe applications are installed on your machine?
    Try launching the Editor from its installation location:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
    Does it launch fine from there?
    If yes, then as a workaround, you can simply create a shortcut of this .exe on desktop by right click and choosing the option of Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut).
    Regards,

  • PSE 11 Editor will not start

    PSE 11 Editor will not start; the Organizer does.  I have tried uninstalling PSE 11 and received the following error box: " Error 1306.Another application has exclusive access to the file C:\PhotoshopElements\11.0\ThumbDatabase.db3.  Please shut down all other appllications, then click Retry."  I tried installing WITHOUT uninstalling and got the same error.  How can I get the Editor going again and/or get around this uninstall/install error?

    try launching the organizer through its exe , for that you can right click on the icon and go to Find target location , select PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe. See if the organizer launches , also if it launches then try reinstalling this application again

  • PSE 12 Bundled w/ Intuos 5 Tablet Downloads Fine But Will Not Launch From Intuos Site or Disc

    I bought an Intuos 5 tablet last month. It came bundled with PSE 12. The tablet works excellant and I use it with CS6 100% of the time. I did not load PSE12 from the Intuos supplied PSE disc because I use CS6.
    I have another computer that I use for photo editing and I loaded the Intuos onto it but since I don't have CS6 on it, I was going to load PSE12.
    WRONG!!!!
    PSE will not "Launch" via cd or Intuos website download of program.
    I am running Windows XP(which is running CS6 fine), Win 7 on 2 other computers, 1 with CS6 and CS5, the other nothing...no photoediting sw at all. Hence adding PSE12.
    I cannot get any phone or email support from Adobe on PSE12. Intuos engineers have no idea what is wrong either with their site download or cd version. But will not call Adobe for help.
    Here are some of the errors.
    After PSE is loaded and it asks "Do You Want To Launch?": I click ok and
    It goes to a screen asking do I want to Uninstall PSE12?
    If I go to the exe. file and click....I get numerous errors as follows:
    Dan
    Why won't post allow me to add "attachment"??

    In the PSE 12 folder, double click on the Setup.exe
    If you get this, just click on Ignore

    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 7.0\Locales\\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.    For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743 Thanks,Garry

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

    Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch  (open)
    What going on ?

    You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
    And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
    Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

    I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem.  It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista.  We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work.  We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch.  Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks, Dean

    What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?
