PSE 6.0 Not Launching Properly

I have installed PSE6 on a Vista laptop. Install seems to go fine. When I launch PSE6, nothign seems to happen. Never seems to launch. If I look at process running, PSE6 shows up, utilizing resources, but I can't see anything on the screen.
I have reinstalled a number of times, and even turned off Norton. Does not seem to help
Thanks

  • QuickTime 7.55.90.70 will not launch properly

    iTunes 8.0.1.11 / QuickTime 7.55.90.70
    Dell Dimension 4600, Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz w/1MB cache, 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 333MHz, Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
    Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1, Service Pack 3
    I've been successfully running iTunes and QuickTime on this system for over a year. I often use QuickTime to watch iTunes Store-purchased videos when I'm offline.
    The problem started yesterday evening.
    When I launch QuickTime, the window flashes open for a split-second and closes. The program button still appears in the toolbar; however, everything but Move, Mininize and Close are greyed out.
    I tried the following fixes. All have failed.
    1. Ran Windows System Restore to point before problem occurred.
    2. Ran Repair QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
    3. Uninstalled QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
    4. Downloaded QuickTime from Apple website and installed. QuickTime would still not run and iTunes stopped working, with error message that QuickTime was missing.
    5. Uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime from Control Panel.
    6. Downloaded QuickTime + iTunes from Apple website and reinstalled.
    7. Deleted all QuickTime preferences files (I found four).
    8. Re-entered registration number for QuickTime. (I upgraded to QuickTime Pro earlier this year.)
    iTunes is now working normally but QuickTime still will not launch properly.
    It's possible that yesterday I launched iTunes while QuickTime was running; it's the only thing I can think of that might have created this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It sounds as if you have more of a problem than I did. I'm not an expert and I'm hesitant to make suggestions that might make the problem worse.
    In the meantime, I do recommend that you back up all of your iTunes music before you do anything else, and get into the habit of backing up on a regular basis.
    Then you might want to try this: completely uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime (using Revo, unless you know how to clean up the registry on your own). Then reinstall both programs (available at the link I posted earlier) and see if that takes care of the problem.
    If this doesn't work, I suggest you start your own thread describing the problem and asking for help. Hopefully an Apple rep -- or at least someone more experienced than I am -- can help you.
    Sorry I can't be more useful, and good luck.

  • InDesign not launch properly

    I have been using Indesign CS6 on my government computer at work for over a year.  Yesterday I tried to launch it and it will not launch properly.  It basically becomes unresponsive and doesn't fully launch.  Or it completely launches but won't open any files.  At first I tried a computer restart, which didn't help.  Then the administrator reloaded the entire CS6 suite on the computer after uninstalling it.  It still will not launch.  I did some research online and tried to find the temp folder to clear it out, but the instructions for finding it for Windows 7 didn't correspond to the folders on my computer.
    At this point I have no idea what's going on and would really like to be able to resolve this problem.  I use Indesign for a lot of stuff at work and this is slowing me down.
    Thanks for any help or advice you can give me to fix this problem.

  • 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??
    Mac
    OS X 10.8.2
    PSE 10 (I also tried to install 11, no go)

    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.

  • PSE 12 does not close properly

    Hi, I just upgraded to PSE 12. When I run editor, after I exit the program, I cannot restart it again until I use windows task manager to end process of photoshopelementseditor.exe file. This seems to be a known problem. Any fixes out there?
    Windows 7 pro (64 bit)

    I only copied the Import-Export folder.
    The problem is still not completely solved. But, I now understand the plugins usage more clearly.
    The plug-ins only apply to the Editor. They do not apply to the Organizer.
    In the pse 11 Organizer, I could scan with twain software. I still can't do that in the pse 12 Organizer.
    I now have access to the scanner, in a clumsy way, through the Editor. It is still missing in the Organizer.
    It is much easier and better to have access to the scanner inside the Organizer. More options and easier to use.
    In the Organizer you can specify in Options, scanner interface software, file type (tiff vs jpeg) and the destination folder. There was a short  cut key (ctrl-u) that opened the scanner interface.
    None of thatt exists when scanning into the Editor.
    It looks like the workflow is to open the scanner, scan ten pictures, get them in the Editor and then save them one by one as tiff or psg into a folder.
    It is different. Maybe not as clumsy as it sounds once you get used to it.
    I had never copied the twain plugin when I was using pse 11. I just checked and found that the twain scanner software was not available in the Editior in pse 11 until I copied the optonal Import-Export folder.
    I had always used the scanner from inside the Organizer and did not realize that it was missing in the Editor.

  • IPhoto not launching properly

    When I launch iPhoto the menu for it appears, but there is no viewing pane. Selecting anything in the available menus result in nothing happening. What's going on?

    Marzy:
    If you're referring to what Terence suggested about deleting the iPhoto preference file, no that won't put your image files in danger. It will be recreated when you next launch iPhoto and you'll have to reset those prefereces, i.e. appearance, etc. in iPhoto.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why does Acrobat 8 not launch properly?

    Hello,
    I have CS2 with Acrobat 7 and an upgrade 8. I have worked with it for at least 2 years without any problem. Now I have changed my system from 2000 PRO to XP Pro. The CS2 programs are all working again. Only Acrobat does not. After the activation it said goodbye. When I launch it, it shows up for a  glimpse, maybe 1/10 second, then disappears without any warning, like a dim spark. What can I do?
    I have not yet reinstalled the Reader. I want to solve this problem first.
    Ich arbeite seit mindestens 2 Jahren mit Acrobat 8 (ich habe CS2 und 7 mit upgrade auf 8). Nun habe ich mein System von 2000 Pro auf XP Pro umgestellt, die CS2 Programme arbeiten wieder einwandfrei, nur Acrobat tut es nicht. Nach der Aktivierung verabschiedete es sich. Wenn ich es starte, zeigt es sich für ca. 1/10 Sekunde wie ein schwaches Fünkchen und verschwindet ohne Fehlermeldung. Was kann ich tun?
    Den Reader habe ich noch nicht wieder installiert. Ich wollte dieses Problem zuerst lösen.

    But you should try resetting the SMC:

    If none of that works (and these vertically installed Superdrives that were originally designed for horizontal use in a MacBook can be fickle) then any USB DVD burner/player will work well, and cost from as little as $40. Just make sure that it is stated to be Mac compatible.

  • Firefox does not launch properly.

    When I click on the icon to launch it, nothing happens. But when I launch the task manager, it says it is running but it never shows up as a browser. What's up with that? Basically then, it is only running in the background and not where I need it to run.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Outlook will not launch properly after initial attempt at setting up Exchange e-mail

    I initially posted this on the general Outlook forum, but they said it was an Exchange problem so I should post it here for an answer.
    I recently had to wipe my laptop and perform a clean install of Win 7 Home Professional 64 Bit.  I re-downloaded and installed my Office Suite (University 2010 ... basically everything in Professional), and can access everything except Outlook.  I
    attempted to set up my school e-mail on it (which I have successfully set up on my desktop), but it wouldn't connect to the server.  It wouldn't let me cancel the set up, and now every time I try to open Outlook I get this error message:
    The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
    Yes, I've verified I'm online.  :)
    When I click OK, a new window pops up that says "Microsoft Exchange" and has my server and mailbox info, with a "check name" button.  When I click the check name, I get the same error as above; occasionally Outlook will hang in "not
    responding" and I have to force close the program.
    I tried uninstalling and re-installing Office, but no change (I'm guessing there were some registry files or something that hung around and keep trying to get back in).  I've tried going to Control Panel > Mail > E-mail Accounts and removing the
    school account from the E-mail tab (I get the error: You cannot delete this Outlook data file.  Configuration information in the file is being copied to your new default data file.  You can delete the file after this information is copied).  I
    was able to add a Gmail account, and it is working fine.  But I can't set up or get rid of this school account.  Occasionally I'll get that "Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" message again (seems to be random, I don't even have to be touching
    anything and it will pop up), and I got a message earlier something about my OST (I think) file, but I didn't copy down that error and I can't figure out what I did to get it.  At this point I'm completely and utterly confused, and would appreciate any
    help that anyone can come up with.

    I set it up exactly like I did in Outlook on my desktop computer.  At this point I just want to get the account info off Outlook so I don't have to deal with it, even though I won't be able to check my school e-mail from my laptop without going through
    the 4 steps it takes to log in through the school website.
    If I go to Control Panel > Mail > E-mail Accounts, and try to delete the school e-mail from the list, it tells me "You cannot delete this Outlook data file.  Configuration information in the file is being copied to your new default data file.
     You can delete the file after this information is copied."  It's been giving me that message for the past week.  I can't go in to the Data Files tab to try to remove it, because I get the error "This data file is associated with a mail account.
    To remove it use the 'E-mail' tab."  I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Office suite, and it's still there.  I really don't want to have to reformat my computer again, but I'm afraid that's the only way I'm going to get this
    off of here.
    Just had a thought, is there anything on the desktop I can copy and paste it into a folder on my desktop so that I know it's set up correctly?  I'm 99.999% sure I did it the same way, but that's the only foolproof way I can think of to make absolutely
    sure, and figured it was worth a shot.

  • Ibooks author does not launch properly on iMac (2007) using Lion

    Hi!
    My iBooks Author starts, but it shows that the machine is working and i cant choose anyting in my menue.
    Any sugestions?
    Trond

    I haven't heard of anyone having issues like this with iBooks Author, sorry.
    You may want to run Disk Utilty and check drive health and repair permissions to see if any issues turn up there. Be sure you have significant free space on ypur harddrive.
    Disable any 3rd party widgets that may not be fully compatible with Lion and don't use any betas.

  • Email not launching properly

    Hi all,
    Since I decided to cleanup my personal files on my MacBook Pro (leopard) I have found that my Mail app won't start up to the point I can read emails.
    I have tried to recover from an old time machine backup but I get the same issue so it I am thinking it could be something else other than the mail app..
    However, I did try to temporarily remove the preference file and then it prompted me for an account setup.
    Any ideas on how to recover from this? Otherwise I'll wait until Monday morning and call the hotline number.
    Cheers
    Carl

    Problem resolved...
    An application called "Mail Unread Menu" was crashing and reinstalling this resolved the issue.

  • IDVD will not launch

    iDVD (7.0.4) will not launch properly. I get the top bar, but no window, and within seconds the beachball starts spinning and I have to force quit it.
    Took my MBP (mid 2010) to the local dealer and one of the guys there tried to help. Tried disk utility and verified and repaired both permissions and disk. He also did this through something he called the recovery partition, and tried to reset something he called pram/nvram. Have tried several times to reinstall iDVD before and after this from the App. Install dvd, after first trashing the app and two files in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    I had not used iDVD before on this particular MBP.
    Any ideas?

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    The reason iDVD launched in your other account is that thre was not iDVD preference file there because you had not launched iDVD there before.
    Once the library is visible you can go to your Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder and find the com.apple.iDVD.plist preference file and delete it.  Then launch iDVD so a new pref file will be created and iDVD should open.

  • Itunes not launch

    I am noticing that for the last 2 days iTunes on my Win 7 desktop does not open after it has been opened and closed once.  I have to reboot my machine to get it to work.  I uninstalled and reinstalled ituness but my issue persists.  Has anyone else faced this issue?

    Hello Stafz

  • Applications will not launch

    After installing the 10.4.8 update, I have noticed that applications that I had previously installed before the update will no longer run. New downloads will also not run. I can extract the files, but clicking to run an application does not do anything. Looking at the Console utility, it logs a "crash" for application I try to unsuccessfully run.
    That said, applications that came installed with OS X are running fine (iPhoto, Safari, etc). My firefox web browser is also running fine. I have also managed to install a couple of other apps from the internet (Flickr Uploader for example), but by and large, any other applications will not run.
    Any ideas?

    From MacFixIt.com
    Update prebinding Many cases of application launch-failure can be resolved easily by simply updating prebinding, via the following steps:
    1. Log in as an administrator
    2. Open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)
    3. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force and press Return.
    4. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return again. The process may take a few minutes, and you may see various messages flash by. The process is complete when the Terminal returns to a normal prompt.
    5. Type exit and press Return.
    Kill process in activity monitor Killing an application-related process via Activity Monitor (click the item then press the 'Quit Process' button) can allow proper application launch. This is especially applicable in situations where a restart cures problems with application launching, as the offending process(es) will, of course, be killed by the restart process.
    Launch Activity Monitor (located in Applications/Utilities), then find the process associated with the problematic application, then quit it and attempt re-launching the applications.
    Delete appropriate .plist files A non-launching application can be the result of a corrupt or otherwise defunct associated .plist file
    Most of the preferences files that we will be talking about are stored in a folder named Preferences, and located in the Library folder of your home directory, e.g.:
    * ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
    Go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and search for any .plist files that may be associated with the application you are having trouble with. Drag the .plist file(s) [many applications have more than one associated .plist file, so be careful to scour for all of them] to the Desktop, then re-attempt launching the application.
    You can also use an application like Preferential Treatment to check for corrupt .plist files.
    Re-install the application Try re-installing your application from its original media or download source.
    If an Apple application or component is not launching properly, you might need to restore it from the Apple installation discs per the instructions in our tutorial "Re-installing Apple applications from a Mac OS X disc/update package using Pacifist."
    Clearing caches Try using a utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, OnyX, or Cocktail to perform series of system cache deletion routines. Go from light, to medium to deep (the ordinal levels are defined differently in each application), checking to see if your afflicted application launches properly after each.
    Also, check the following folder for application-specific cache files that can be deleted, or at least temporarily removed:
    /Library/Application Support (look inside the folders here for files that end with .cache, and delete them)
    Make sure permissions are correct A range of permissions issues can effect Mac OS X applications, causing them not to launch.
    In these cases, the first thing to try is a disk permissions repair routine using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).
    Failing that, startup from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert it, then restart while holding down the "C" key). After the startup process is complete, go to the "Utilities" menu and select Disk Utility. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.
    In some odd cases (usually after a backup or when transferring backed up data back to a startup device), permissions on the "MacOS" directory (the directory that normally stores the executable binary in a Mac OS X application) can become incorrect.
    In order to fix this problem, use the following steps:
    1. Click on the afflicted application to select it in the Finder
    2. Either click the application while holding the control key, or use the "Action" menu (the icon looks like a gear) to access the option "Show Package Contents"
    3. Open the "Contents" folder therein, and then find the "MacOS" folder
    4. Modify the permissions on this folder to give it "execute" permissions for all users. Do this by opening the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and typing the following command (don't press return afterward):
    5. sudo chmod 755
    6. After typing this, drag the "MacOS" folder to the Terminal window -- its path should appear. Press return, and you will be prompted for your administrator password, which you should enter.
    The "MacOS" directory should now have read, write and execute priveleges for the owner, and read and execute privileges for the group and others.
    Check CoreAudio As noted in Knowledge Base article #301658, some Apple applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed as part of a Pro Tools version 6.9 installation.
    Apple says to follow these steps if you are affected by this issue:
    * Updating your Digidesign Core Audio driver may resolve the issue. You can find the latest versions for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) at http://digidesign.com/download/coreaudio. If that doesn't help, continue to step 2.
    * Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities).
    * Click the Audio Devices tab.
    * From the Default Output pop-up menu, choose Built-in Audio.
    Check for errant plug-ins Some application launch failures can be caused by problematic plug-ins or other add-ons. Safari and other Web browsers are notorious for suffering from this issue, as are some other extensible applications like iMovie.
    Check the following locations for any recently added files, or any files implicated in error messages generated when you attempt to launch the problematic application:
    * /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    * ~/Library/InputManagers
    Re-apply the Mac OS X combo updater Try re-applying the latest Mac OS X combo updater from Apple's software downloads page. Doing so can resolve issues with system components or delete specific files that can resolve application launching issues.
    Create a new user account Try creating a new user account, and check if the application launches under it. If so, a user-specific corruption issue is likely at play -- see the above sections regarding .plist files and caches.
    Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing an Archive and Install process, which will retain some user settings but otherwise leave you with a fresh Mac OS X installation.
    Also, check with the application's developer for compatibility notes regarding the version of Mac OS X you are running, and revert to an earlier iteration if necessary.
