PSE 12 won't start/open...

After months of trouble-free use, suddenly today PSE 12 will not start or run on my PC.
Running Windows 8.1
I got an error message that it could not open a .jpg file due to it being "truncated or incomplete". Closed PSE to reopen and try again, but will not open. Tried clicking on the shortcut, starting from the Programs list, even opening the Programs folder and attempting to start the .exe file directly. Nothing works. Any ideas??? Thanks.

After you close Elements, hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously right-click on the exe file and choose open. After a few seconds release the three keys and look for a pop-up dialog. You should get the settings option.
When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

  • Premiere elements 11 program won't start/open anymore.

    I was using at 7am no problem and my computer died (it has done that numerous times before and i've never expeirneced this problem, just died because the power chord is loose) and then i go to finish editing around 4p and now the program won't open. everythingelse (google, files, media, other programs) run and open fine but not premiere. I am not tech savvy and don't really understand what other forums are saying, i'm definitely consumer level. please please help, i don't want to lose my work.
    I have windows 7 (I think)
    If you need specs i need a walk through how to check. Its a dell computer that can run world of warcraft just fine so i don't think its the driver or graphic card, and again premiere was working just this morning.
    Its a dell i've had for 3 years.

    Typically I start with lots and lots of questions to define the situation.
    In view of the circumstances that you describe, I am going to start with a suggestion rather than questions. Then, if the suggestion does not work, then I will send a lot of questions your way.
    Delete the Premiere Elements 11 settings file, named Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the path to it is:
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

  • Itunes won't start/open/launch

    I keep getting an error message that "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I haven't been able to open my Itunes in quite a while. I have tried many of the solutions listed in earlier posts. I see LOTS OF PEOPLE are having this same problem. Some posts date back to January and probably farther! I am on Windows XP. Does anybody know if Apple ever comes up with solutions to these problems? Do their tech people monitor these forums? Are we really supposed to keep trying the same non-solutions that other users have tried? These little trinkets were not cheap to buy and it would sure be nice if they actually would work. Should I be looking at buying another brand?

    Hi rak42,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I seen this issue posted before, its usually caused when the iTunes application become corrupted. This can be caused by a number of things, possibly a virus.
    First: try iTunes in a different user. (could be you user account.)
    Best fix usually though is to reinstall iTunes. I'd run a virus scan if I were you, just in case that is the issue. Otherwise its an unresolved Apple issue that needs to be rectified.
    And, yes Apple does monitor these forums. (you may even ocasionally see one logged in...)
    Hope this information is useful.
    Regards,
    Peter.

    Not only this, but that the crash message keep pop-up, which compelled me to send a first report, the second report, etc. a lot of reporting and the problem is still there! So I then tried to fix the Firefox browser by clicking on the re-start Firefox and even reset Firefox but this did not work \\!
    So right now I use Chrome browser in order to report the problem

  • Firefox will not open or won't start (see /questions/964132 )

    was Ok till recently

    Please include more information, such as your Operating System (Windows?) and version, plus exactly what happens when you try to start Firefox. The information that's listed in a recent Firefox crash report, if available, might also help. See [[Firefox crashes]] under '''Get help fixing this crash''' and post any crash Report IDs recently submitted (they'll start with '''bp-''' )
    Your question title says "Firefox will not open or won't start (see /questions/964132 )" I looked at that question and it was started by another Firefox user. [/questions/964132?page=2#answer-477049] has a number of suggestions if Firefox won't start. Which ones did you try?
    For other possible solutions see
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    *[/questions/958850] ''Firefox won't open after restart''
    Note: A "clean reinstall" was one of the suggestions in [/questions/964132]. It means removing the Firefox application files and then reinstalling Firefox from a fresh download, as explained in the "Reinstall Firefox" step in [[Basic Troubleshooting]]. If that allows you to start Firefox, but if the problem returns after restarting the computer, you should do another "clean reinstall" and then troubleshoot your plugins by disabling all of them, as suggested in the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article.

  • My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

    had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete". can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

    What installed iPhoto there in the first place?  Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac?  Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set?   You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

    Hi MFGTG,
    1. I would advise you to please go to
    2. Applicatoins>utilities>Adobe Installers
    3. Try to find if there is any uninstaller for the CS6.
    4. If you find the uninstaller then simply uninstall the application and then reinstall it.
    Thanks

  • Firefox suddenly won't start. I open it on my Mac, I see the Apple icon and Firefox where a menu bar should be, but that's it. My only option is to Force Quit. Firefox windows won't open at all. Any advice?

    As you can read above, that's it. The only thing I can think of is that I did a Microsoft update and then my Firefox stopped working. It won't start up. Windows and tabs won't open. It's completely unresponsive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled new and old Firefox, yet I have the same problem.

    My iPod Touch 5th Gen won't open. I don't know if the battery is empty or what. I tried connecting it to the computer but it won't start up. I think it just heating up. When I tried to charge it, after a few seconds it it hot. Can somebody help me, please?

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The hotness suggests a battery problem

  • Itunes won't start clicking to open itunes freezes computer

    My problem started with the latest version of itunes (11.3 for windows 64 bit). I am running windows 7. The update froze my computer so I uninstalled itunes and downloaded 11.3. It wouldn't complete so i uninstalled again and it took a long time but completed. I clicked on the icon to start and nothing happened EXCEPT it froze my computer! Came to this forum and tried all the fixes (ironically, the fix by apple for this problem want you to start itunes in safe mode.  Hello, it won't start at all (following all procedures) . I have tried everything including deleting all apple out of regedit.  I have tried everything I could find including running 3 different virus programs to see if I have a virus. No virus. Brand new Quicktime. Uninstalled Bonjour. Can someone please help?  Thanks.

    I'm replying to my own fix here in case someone else wants to try an easy fix: I uninstalled every mention of apple and itunes from my computer. Installed a previous version (itunes 10.7) for 64 bit. Deleted library.itl since there was nothing in it and it works! after 15 hours of trying all of the suggested fixes, the new install took about 10 minutes.I guess windows 7 just hates itunes 11.3 (or vice versa!) Anyway, i'm happy now.
