PSE 6 Corrupt Styles File

Today I tried to open PSE 6 which automatically opens in Editor mode and get an error message Styles File is bad or corrupted. I have tried opening from program file instead of shortcut and get same results. Cannot open in Organizer to try switching to Editor. I tried to repair it by running the original installation disc, but the Wizard Installer keeps asking me to install Disc 1. There is only 1 disc and it is installed already. Don't know what to do.

Yeah, it's the bit I deleted but wanted to find the reference before posting.
Navigate to the MediaDatabase.db3 file and rename it...add a ~to the front of the filename or name it something like MediaDatabase.db3.TMP. It will take several minutes to rebuild...may take 5 - 10 minutes so be patient.

This styles file is bad or corrupted- Elements 3.0

Ok so, I use photoshop elements 3.0, and the other day something weird happened and now it refuses to work. A few days ago it was fine and working well, but suddenly something pops up saying "This styles file is bad or corrupted" and it just suddenly popped up. It did this before so I tried to install it again [after removing it] and it gave me the same problem so I had to make an entirely new account, and then FINALLY got it to work on the different account. [It's refusing to work on the new account]
Quite annoying...
Any chance there's some way to fix this?

You didn't say which OS you have. When you create one, be sure it is an administrative account not a standard account as Elements need read/write privileges.

Why can't PSE 9 find the file to load styles?

Why can't PSE 9 find the file to load styles

Use Task Manager to kill any running processes associated with PSE, then reboot.
Use Control Panel's Programs and Features to uninstall PSE.
The use Windows Explorer to delete any remaining PSE directories following these directions (change the names to version 10):

PSE 6 layer styles - how can I load new styles?

PSE 6 layer styles - how can I load new styles?

Hi,
You need to download styles and then paste them to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles.
You need to have a
1) .asl file
2) metadata.xml file.
Relaunch the application after this. the styles would be visible.
In case you dont see them just go to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Locale\en_us and delete "MediaDatabase.db3" file.
For XP:
Copy the styles to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Photo Creations\layer styles
and delete the "MediaDatabase.db3" file. at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Locale\en_US.
For MAC :
/Volumes/OS<name of Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/8.0/Photo Creations/Layer styles.
and delete the "MediaDatabase.db3" file. at /Volumes/OS<name of Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/8.0/Locale/en_US
Hope this helps.

How can I fix PSE3s styles file?

When I launch PSE3 a window shows up that says "this styles file is bad or corrupt", so it can't open up at all and the PSE3 launcher will just stay on my screen. I haven't downloaded any custom styles, I deleted Grant's tools just in case it caused the problem (it didn't work) and I tried resetting my preferences but it didn't work. Any tips on how to fix this?

Hi Seaweed_trouble,
Did you check the post mentioned above. Let us know if your problem is resolved or not?

Corrupt Dock File?

Hi,
So on my dock, I have my Applications Folder on it to use as a shortcut, but just recently, it started to display two of every application. See my picture:
I also have my Downloads Folder on my Dock. When I drag things from the Downloads folder into the trash can, nothing happens. But then when I click +Show In Finder+, it shows the file as deleted.
So it seems my Dock is not refreshing or something? So what I did to fix it was just remove the Applications and Downloads Folders from the Dock, and drag the Applications and Downloads folder from my hard drive to the dock. But everytime I log back in or download something else, the problem will arise again.
Do I have a corrupt dock file? I didn't want to try messing with that until I consulted +Apple Discussions+ first.
Thanks, Alex

if recreating those stacks doesn't help try resetting your dock preference file. delete the file /users/user/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and enter the following terminal command
killall Dock
your dock will be rest to the default. see if the problem goes away.

Multi-Monitor PSE 9 Corrupt Display

Multi-Monitor PSE 9 Corrupt Display
Evening all -
First post here at PS Gurus. I hope that you guys can lend your expertise in pinning down an issue that I am having and have also had on other PS versions. I am running
Windows 7 (64 bit) Ultimate
2600k / 8 gb ram / 256 Samsung SSD / 460 GTX 1GB
Matrox Triplehead 2 Go with x3 22" monitors (resolution 5040 x1050)
A fresh install of the trial version of PSE 9 is yielding corrupt main toolbar and options bar (for each tool selected). The application is expanding full screen on all three monitors just fine but the toolbar are corrupt - partly transparent / party compressed to the left. No matter what I have done in terms of resizing the application window the results are the same or get worse.
On another computer I installed PS CS5 (also under win7 64 bit environment) and I was having the same issue. However, at the time I thought the install was bad in some shape or form so I dropped the issue.
I am now considering PSE 9 but see that Win7 + Matrox just isn't working correctly with this combination of hardware / software components.
Has anyone see this issue or know of a potential fix? I have read a couple of threads on the net with similar issues but I don't see any resolution. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks-
Benjamin

My main reason for testing PSE-O 9.0 was to find out if this "bug" was fixed. I can not use PSE-O to organize and show pictures the way I want to with this weaknes in place. Your answer is probably correct, bun not at all helpfull.
So thank you for trying, but my test of PSE O is over for now.
Does anybody out there know of other products that will do the trick?

Error -32810 occurred at The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi

I have two cFP-2120 RT controller. They both have NI-Serial RT2.5.6, DataSocket for LV RT4.2, NI-VISA 3.6, FP Drivers 5.1.0, FP VI Manager 3.1.0 LV RT 7.1.1 installed. But one same vi can run on one controller but not another.
the error message got when it runs on another controller is "Error -32810 occurred at The FieldPoint server initialization failed. Possible causes: 1. Missing or corrupt configuration file; 2. Failed to create callbacks. : FP Open.vi"
I wonder by what it is caused?
Thanks

Hi Matthew,
As mentioned previously, this KnowledgeBase article may be of some help. Also, if your code is being run on an embedded controller and then a network controller (not embedded), you will need to run the program differently. On the embedded controller, you should deploy your VI in a Project Explorer or programmatically (as described here.) However, you do not need to deploy the program to a network controller, but simply run the VI.
I would also suggest creating a new .IAK file. Do you still see the same error? Also, double-check that the software installed on the controller matches the software installed on the host PC. If you have any file paths associated with one FieldPoint controller, ensure that you are changing them to match the second controller.
Please keep us posted on your troubleshooting steps. Have a great day!

Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

How to fix a corrupt .avi file (from capture in CS3)?

So I was recording a VERY long meeting at work and recorded it to my PC via Premiere. Since the recording was unattended, the file size is 275GB! I didn't really think anything would go wrong since I have recorded large .avi files in the past.
Well when I try to import the .avi or play it in media player, it is saying it is corrupt/wrong file format. I tried a few avi repair utilities and none of them fixed it. I'm guessing the avi headers are missing, but I thought Premiere wrote progressive .avi files (at least their export is progressive and valid while its writing).
Any help to repair salvage the avi? I only need about 50% of the actual content.

>wonder why you can view a video that is currently being exported
Seeing what the computer is
DOING while it is doing it is really not the same as trying to open a file after the fact
I have an inexpensive standalone DVD recorder to be able to move a movie from a DirecTv Tivo box in one part of the house to a DVD player in another part of the house
I can watch the video on the TV while it is playing from the DTivo box to the DVD recorder
If I do not properly CLOSE the disc when the recording is done, the DVD will not play
An improperly closed file is, as you found, not going to work
As I said, my best GUESS is that hitting the full point on the drive caused needed information to not be written to the header (or file end) and now any software you use to try and play or edit that file doesn't know what the file
IS because the identity is lost
I will guess that is also why the AVI repair programs you've tried won't work... they need to have some starting information to work, otherwise the contents of the file are just so much random "noise"

I followed your help directions on "Corrupt extension files" under "Unable to install add-ons", foolishly deleting the files you told me to. Now firefox won't open. I tried reinstalling firefox but it still won't open. Now what do I do?

I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Is there any way to delete the corrupt LOG files in order to add new one? The data file is ok.
Thanks

Thread was also opened on the Mailing list:
Here is the answer
Hi,
in most situations an "add log volume" does not solve
a log full situation, because the added logvolume is
accessible first at the moment, when the write position
on the log is at the end of the old logvolume.
If a LOGFULL occurs, the save log!
All "parts" of the LogVolume are numbered and each one
has stored the identifying number of it's predecessor and
it successor in it's header-page. The message
     "Linkage missmatch between volume"
means, that these values does not match any more.
Did you somehow changed the contents of this file/device?
If so: can you revert the change? Then the restart should
work again. do a logbackup and your database will run again.
If this doesn't work for you, you could patch the
header pages of the logvolume (I assume you do not really
want this).
Another way to solve the situation is to do a data backup
in admin-mode, reinstall the database and recover the
databackup, because the removal of a logvolume is not
supported.
kind regards, Martin

My Vista system crashed due to a corrupted windows file. When I reformatted C:/ & reloaded firefox & tbird, my bookmarks were gone. I have an image of the drive , but I don't know how to recover them and get the data back where I can access it.

Vista system crashed due to a corrupted system file. The C drive was reformatted, and windows reloaded, along with the rest of my programs.
Before the drive was reformatted, an image was made of it on a USB drive to save all the data. Now I need to know how to get the Bookmarks back for Firefox, and the Address Book back for Thunderbird.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. It worked very well, for both Firefox and Tbird.
One hitch, until I remembered: those are all hidden files, in hidden folders. I had a devil of a time finding the "roaming" folder, until I found out how to unhide everything. In years past, I used DOS for that kind of thing. Explorer is much less user-friendly. Now that I know how to do it, it's simple.
Thanks again for the guidance
