PSE 12 Photo Editor won't open

Hi,
I purchased PSE 12 in January 2014. It's been working just fine up until the other day. I went to open Photo Editor and it sent me to some other screen and asked me to login. Tried logging in and it said I wasn't connected to the internet yet I was. I Decided to uninstall PSE12 and reinstall. after a few attempts I finally get the main PSE12 screen when I click on the PSE12 icon on my desktop. I was very excited. However, once I click on the Photo editor it appears like it's trying to open and then stops and nothing happens.
I"ve tried something I read on another page to hold Ctrl, Alt, and Shift while I click on the PSE12 icon. From what I've read I should get a screen that allows me to delete something however, I get the pop up that is typical for most program icons. Multiple tabs, Shortcut, General, Compatibility, Security, Details, and Previous Versions. I don't remember changing anything on my computer since the last time I opened PSE12 Photo editor.
Any ideas, I'd like to use the program
Thanks,
S

Once I reinstalled PSE 12 I no longer have get the sing in page or the message that I'm not connected to the internet.
Yesterday I downloaded PSE 12 and reinstalled it. I clicked on the desktop icon and got the main screen to either open Photo editor or the Organizer. I was able to open Organizer but unable to open Photo editor.

  • PSE 11 Editor Won't Open Due to my "tampering"

    Photo Elements 11 Editor won’t open. (I also have PSE 6 and Editor now won’t open in it). I have Windows XP. Editor was working fine until I was trying to get my Viveza 2 plug-in into PSE 11 (I had it in PSE6 and all was fine).  I looked all over internet and could not find answer. Went into PSE 11 Editor screen and from one of the tabs I saw a place for plug-ins—you could browse for folder/file of plug-in (or so I thought). I went to Viveza folder inside my NIK folder and clicked it. After that --- Editor no longer loads in PSE 11 or 6. I have tried resetting Preferences—no help. I don’t even know what tab I used in Editor since I cannot open it. Any thoughts? I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling but think nothing will change since PSE6 was affected too. Need to change whatever I did to the file.
    Any thoughts?? Thanks!

    Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
    If none of them works, let me know.
    Solution1:
    Close Elements. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. 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.
    Solution2:
    In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution3:
    In case that does not work too, you may try this.
    Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 Photo Editor won't open, trial info keeps popping up

    Okay, I own Photoshop Elements 11 but the Photo Editor refuses to open. When I click it, a pop up shows up for the trial version of PSE 11 saying I should buy it. I already have the lisence for PSE11 so i don't know what the problem is. (Also Organizer works but won't upload images and I tried the CRT+shift+Alt things but the delete preferences popup doesn't show.)
    I might have deleted a plug-in or something by accident, not sure if that would effect it but I did a systems restore.

    I don't want to re-install because my account says I can't.
    What exactly is the message you're getting?

  • PSE 11 Editor won't open

    Just received a new PC w/ PSE 11 pre-installed.  OS is Windows 8.
    Was editing a photo in LR 4 and wanted to go into PSE 11 Editor to do more editing.  When I tried to open PSE editor, Adobe required product registration, which I did.  LR created a duplicate TIFF file and everything, and the window popped up asking if I wanted to Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments, etc., and then PSE 11 Editor opened up fine the very first time.  (However it didn't seem like some of the tools were working properly, but that's another question for another time.)
    Subsequent attempts to open the PSE Editor either from Elements itself and LR4 have failed.  Editor will not open.  Why is this happening with a brand new product?

  • PSE 12 Editor won't open

    Purchased PSE 12 recently and workrd fine for a few weeks. Then started getting 30-day trial countdown until 30 days later it doesn't work. Reinstalled several times from DVD but nothing happens when I click desktop icon. Copied files from DVD to PC and clicked "setup" and now I get the splash page and can open the organizer but not the editor. Am running Windows7.

    It only took from October 2013 to until a few days ago to get my Photoshop Elements 12 Editor to open. GautamBahl (Adobe Staff) was answering a "Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open" problem the other day in the Premiere Elements Forum. I tried the posed fix on my "Photoshop Elements 12 Editor Will not Open" problem and was stunned that it solved my problem.
    Did you see my post on this here in the Photoshop Elements Forum where I posted the good news.

    All you are going to do is find and rename two folders said to be involved in the program activation
    SLStore Folder renamed to SLStoreOLD
    SLCache Folder renamed to SLCacheOld
    Local Disc C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder is the SLStore Folder that is renamed from SLStore to SLStoreOLD.
    Local Disc C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder is the SLCache Folder that is renamed from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    I tried countless fix for the Photoshop Elements 12 Editor that would not open, but the above was the one that worked for me.
    Please let me know if it worked for you also.
    Thank you.

  • PSE 8 Editor won't open

    When I try to open the editor in PSE 8 I get an error that this program has stopped working. I've been using PSE 7 just fine, and in fact went back to it and the editor works fine.  Using Vista.  Any ideas?

  • My PSE 6 editor won't open

    Ever since I got a virus and had to back up the hard drive to fix it, my organizer will open, but whenever I try to open the editor, it says it has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience. I don't know what to do I've tried a lot of stuff. Someone please help me!

  • PSE 9 Editor won't open

    I have the paid version of PSE 9, and even after about 2 hours of work with a technical support person over the phone the other day, we have gotten nowhere. I'm wondering if I can safely uninstall, then re-install the program without having to pay for it again. Please advise.

    Correct.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 Editor Won't Open

    I have PSE 9, and the editor won't open (organizer will, but not editor). When I click "Edit" from the welcome screen, the welcome screen just disappears and nothing happens. I tried accessing the editor directly from the program files folder, and again, nothing happens . I tried right-clicking on photos and telling them to open in PSE. Nothing happens. No error messages or anything-- it just won't open.
    It worked fine on my old computer in Windows 7, but I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 7, but that doesn't solve the problem. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
    Please help me-- this is driving me nuts! Thanks.

    Yes, but the odds are that you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual editor is hidden away inside the support files folder for PSE 13 and the file at the top level of the Applications>PSE 13 folder is just an alias to the Welcome Screen. You really want this one:

  • 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.

  • After 2 mos, Adobe Elements 12 Editor won't open

    Worked fine before, now Editor won't open at all either from the Organizer or from anywhere else, such as Lightroom. Suggestions please

    Interesting.  I just closely examined the error dialogs I was getting when PSE 12 failed to launch.  There were numerous problems with case sensitivity errors for various frameworks inside the application.  For instance, one of the errors complained that it could not find the "AdobeLinguistic" framework.  The reason evidently is that the name was actually spelled without capitals.  It was "adobelinguistic".  I manually correct quite a number of these types of errors by renaming the offending area in the Framworks section of the application bundle.  This continued with each launch.  I'd get a new error.   I'd correct it and try again.  Another error.  Another correction.  Finally, it got past all the issues and launched PSE 12.  However, at that point, there was some internal error in PSE 12 (no surprise) that prevented it from running yet didn't show any kind of dialog where I could attempt to perform any further corrections.  I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that I have my disk partition setup as a case sensitive partition.  If someone else has a disk that is not case sensitive, I suspect they wouldn't see this error.
    I've reported this as a bug on the Photoshop Family Customer Community in the hopes that someone from Adobe will see it and take corrective action.
    I realize that some of you may find this post over your head a bit technically and for that I apologize.  But since I had already posted here earlier, I wanted to get this out so people would understand that there does appear to be a real issue with PSE 12.  We'll see what Adobe has to say.

    I am using Windows 7. PSE 11 works normal. So my computer and memory must be good enough.

  • Captivate 5.5 skin editor won't open

    I'm working in Captivate 5.5, and the Skin Editor won't open, either from the Project menu or with Shift+F11. Any idea what's causing that? Is there another way to get at the Skin Editor, such as through the Publish dialog box? I couldn't find another way.

    Hi Stuart
    At any point have you had a second monitor attached? If so, it's quite possible that the dialog is indeed opening, but was last opened on the second monitor. In that case you need to either make your resolution large enough so that you see the dialog sitting in the odd location or re-connect the second monitor so you may then view the dialog and drag it back to the visible area of the screen.
