PSE 7 Editor not responding. Stuck in thinking mode for eternity...

Hoping for some help with this issue. Pleeeezee
I start in Organizer, choose an image to edit, click on the quick fix (shoot in Raw), do some simple changes, then if I need more fixes I click on Open Image. The Editor window pops open and then the thinking mode for eternity is what happens next. Sometimes the image does finally appear but it could take several minutes. Has become increasing worse lately where images do not appear at all.
Has 3GB memory, maxed out the memory usage in the performance. Just uninstalled PSE then re-installed it and still have the same issue.
Not sure what else I can try. If anyone has ideas or has dealt with this same issue before, please share.
Thanks!!

Please provide more specific info about your computer - processor (single or dual), OS (XP, Vista or 7), 32-bit, video card, etc.
You realize RAW file will require a lot of power to process.  Using a memory-stick (ReadyBoost) may help.
Personally, I gave up trying to process RAW in PSE - switched to Lightroom 2.  Only use PSE for editing work beyond scope of LR2 - like Panaramas, merged exposure, etc.

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • PSE 8 editor not responding

    After I edit a photo with PSE 8 Editor and try and save the edit, Editor goes white (not reponding) for several seconds then finally completes the edit. What is causing this delay?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    In PSE editor under Edit->Preferences: check Performance settings:
    *taking the cursor/mouse on each option words will display the description of that option:
    Modify the default settings as per your needs:
    1) Set the total % PSE can use of available RAM.
    2) reduce the number of history states (Undo states)
    3) Under scratch disks area in case you have more than 1 drive do check so it can use memory
    from more than 1 drives of your machine.
    After making this changes close PSE and launch again.
    I am sure performance should improve. Let me know if you have any comments.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 Editor not responding

    No matter what i try i cannot get the editor to open. Keep getting the dreaded NOT RESPONDING message.
    Software has run ok for months before this.
    Tried deleting the preferences file... no joy
    Uninstalled software then re-installed having deleted preference... no joy.
    Tried creating a direct shortcut to the editor .exe file ... no joy.
    Surely someoneat Adobe knows about this problem!
    By the way the Organiser works fine.
    Can anyone help on this one?

    Hi,
    You may try the following things-
    - If anti virus is running. try launching with anti-virus turned off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    - If you have a network printer attached and added as a default printer, wither uninstall and retry or remove it as the default printer.
    Let me know if these do not work!

  • Tb not responding, even in safe mode with networking enabled?

    duplicate of [/questions/1054504]
    Hi,
    I've read many of the questions relating to TB not responding and it appears that it is related to anti virus, however I've restarted windows 7 in safe mode with networking, however TB still not responding. I've also ran TB in safe mode while still in windows safe mode and still not responding. I've uninstalled & re-installed TB all to no avail. I've uninstalled a program I recently installed although it was unrelated but still no change.

  • After update PB stuck in thinking mode...

    I haven't used my PB in over 1 month. Turned it on yesterday and I had about 3 or 4 updates. After the updates PB rebooted and now its stuck in some kind of thinking mode. I have a white screen with the apple sign on it and at the bottom a moving circular motion as if its thinking or trying to boot up. Been doing this for hours now...?

    Snook:
    Try this:
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
    • Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
    • Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
    • Log in and empty Trash.
    • Restart normally and log in.

  • Not Responding Messages in Safe Mode

    I've got a Toshiba Satellite and apparently caught a virus a few days ago.  I'm trying to do a System Recovery, but no matter what I do, I get a "Not Responding" message.  If I am in regular or safe mode it happens.  I can put in my recovery disk and it will load, then when the screen comes up, I can't do anything because the message comes up.  I will go into safe mode with commands and enter in the proper command, then the screen will come up that way, but still get the "Not Responding".  Same happens when I try to run my Spyware sweep.  The program will start, but I get the "Not Responding" again. 
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Seems like you are trying to run the recovery in windows. Boot to the recovery disc instead. Tap F12 when you turn it on. It should go to the boot menu then insert the disk and choose CD/DVD on the menu and it should load the recovery disc. Good luck!

    When I start up everything looks normal but when I choose an email to read, the loading green wheel comes out and takes a long time.

    I think you will find the issue is your anti virus. But for a quick and dirty try simply compact your folders from the File menu (alt+F).
    That may help if there is space to be recovered and provide temporary relief..

  • Excel 2013 not responding when doing refresh all for enbedded quires.

    System:
    Windows 8.1
    Intel I7 620 CPU
    12 GB ram
    Office 2013
    Issue 1:
    I have a excel file with 29 data from WEB quires. These are quires for stock data and the only difference in them is the ticker symbol. When I request a refresh all Excel goes into a not-responding mode and I have to quit the program to stop it. This same
    file ran OK in Excel 2010. I have the data on sheet one and about half the quires on sheet 2 and the remaining quires on sheet 3. Each quire downloads data a small table and cells in sheet one reference cells in sheet two and three. Two cells are accessed
    from each table. I had a Microsoft support person on the line today and she had me repair office, which didn't help. I removed Sheet 2 and Sheet 3 and redid all the quires and that didn't help. Each quire can be refreshed individually. 
    I also have a laptop with Office 2013 and Excel has the same problem with the same file.  
    Issue 2:
    Each row holds information about a given stock and gets current stock price and dividend percent from its quire table. The stock price comes from column A and the dividend percent come from column C two rows below the row the price is in. Every
    time a do a refresh the cell that references the data in Column C comes from two rows below the row it should come from. This does not happen for every stock only some of them. The reference to the data from the A column is always correct. This problem was
    happening in Excel 2010 too.

    Hi,
    To your first issue:
    Excel 2013 not responding may be caused by some reasons. Let's do some tests to narrow down the issue:
    Method 1: Verify/install the latest updates
    Method 2: Start Excel in safe mode
    Method 3: Investigate possible issues with add-ins
    Method 4: Check whether your antivirus software is up to date or is conflicting with Excel
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-gb
    If the issue still exists, please upload the event log in the thread, I'll do more deeply
    research.
    To your second issue, would you like to upload a sample of the Excel file by using SkyDrive? I want to test in my PC.

  • My iPod has been stuck in recovery mode for 3 hours

    I was trying to downgrade my iPod 5th generation from iOS 8.1.3 to 8.1 in order to install jailbreak, which, if I do somehow manage to get my iPod working again, I swear to god I will not try again. During this process, which I done using a tutorial, downloading the older version then selecting 'update' with the shift key on iTunes, with my iPod plugged in. Above as it was attempting to downgrade above was the words 'extracting', it was after this process my iPod went into reocovery mode and I have not been able to get it out since. I've tried clicking the home and off button about a million times, it just shows the apple logo briefly and then goes back to the recovery sign. I have no way of contacting apple support as I have no access to a phone and obviously can't input my serial number to perform diagnostics as it instructs via email as I can't get it on. Please help.

    Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
    Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
    Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
