PSE 7 - open 1 file, OK. Open another file, CRASH!

I'm running PSE 7 on a Windows XP Pro machine with 3GB RAM. I'd had no problems until recently - I just installed about 15 Windows updates (mostly Office and IE security fixes), a Java update and an Adobe Reader update. After all these updates, I'm finding that if I try to open more than one image file at a time in PSE Editor (via File > Open), I get the "Photoshop Elements has encountered a problem" message. This crashes the program.
I've already reset my virtual memory per instructions elsewhere in this forum. (Initial 4500MB, Max 6000MB)
I don't really use the organizer, so if reinstallation is a likely fix, that's not a problem.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Unfortunately, there can be many causes of crashes, and they're hard to diagnose. I suggest working methodically through these troubleshooting steps, the first of which is to delete the Editor's preferences:

Tutorials in SWF output format prompted "Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?" when opening another SWF file

Please help.
I have a tutorial with in the output format of SWF and HTM. I have click boxes that On Success will open another tutorial (SWF file). When I click on the click box, I get prompted “Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?” by the Adobe Flash Player. I can click “Yes” and continue, however I don’t want the user to get prompted for every click box with this action (there is one for every tutorial and navigation buttons to each tutorial). I also think that SCORM can't handle the prompt, because when I run the tutorial from the LMS the click boxes do not work at all.
I have tried selecting “Always allow” in the Global Security Settings panel as per the instruction on this website: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I wanted to add on a question to this posting.... I believe Rod's instructions must be followed on a per-PC basis, correct? Is there any way to disable this globally when/after I publish the files rather than telling 1000 users across the globe that they have to change their security settings? I don't think so from the article (very thorough) but just hoping there's something I can do?!
Thank you!

How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (I accidentally saved the file iWeb is pointing to, and don't want it. I want to use a prior back-up iWeb version.)

How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (Made a mistake and don't want current file iWeb is pointing to)

Thanks Roddy.
FYI- I downloaded the "Domain.sites2" file from your page (because I deleted mine yeterday) So now the file is sitting on my desktop in my "Download" window.
I see the good back-up file I want to use on my desktop, but when I go to drag the file from my desktop and drop it in "Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb", it does not take. I am not allowed to drop files on that iWeb page directly. (I tried to drop the the "Domain.sites2" file from the Download window, but that also does not allow me to drag and drop it directly to the iWeb folder.)

When clicked on an icon in the infopath form, it will open another infopath form from another file. How do?

When clicked on an icon in the infopath 2013 form, it will open another infopath 2013 form from another
file. How do?

Hello Eugene Astafiev!
I need the following scenario:
I have a Sharepoint library with items created by Infopath (form A).
I developed another form (form B) that will query items created by form A.
The form B will be in a static "webpart" page navigation (Sharepoint). One of these fields returned by the query library that manages the items created is the URL responsible to load the item data . I would like to parameterize the URL into form B.
So that when the user clicks on it, the form A with their respective data in a modal is returned (which may be a native modal Sharepoint)

PSE 13 opens normally, but when I try to Open a file, nothing happens. [was: The problem just occurred out of the blue yesterday.]

PSE 13 opens normally, but when I try to Open a file, nothing happ ens. The Editor screen just stares back at me as if I had done nothing. Should I uninstall/reinstall?

When I do that, the only option I'm given for opening a file is "Open". not
"Open With". Right clicking on a jpeg file and clicking on Open opens the
file in Irfanview, which is the File Association for opening jpeg files. I
suppose I could change the File Association. I'll try it now.
OK, I changed the File Extension Association for .jpg and .jpeg files
to the PSE 13 Editor .exe file shown in my c:/Program Files folder, so now
clicking on any .jpg or .jpeg file opens the Editor, but again, as before,
the clicked on file does not open. It opens fine when associated with
Irfanview (opens in Irfanview, of course). And when associated with PSE
13, the PSE 13 Editor opens and appears to be ready to "receive" the
clicked on file, but nothing happens.

My slideshow is built with PSE 7 (32 bits)(file : *.psess). I want open it with my new PSE 13 (64bits)

My slideshow is built with PSE 7 (32 bits)(file : *.psess). I want open it with my new PSE 13 (64bits)
Is this possible ? How ?

Let's go step by step through that second set of instructions. Here are screen shots of what happens when I move a catalog named "Test" that's starting out in the location Catalogs Accessible By All Users (after doing the first set of instructions). If you don't see similar screens, perhaps you can describe exactly where it goes different.
After doing File > Catalog, the Catalog Manager window looks like:
After step 1. Select Custom Location:
After step 2. Click the Browse button and select the destination location for the catalog. I'm selecting an external drive G:
After clicking the OK button:
Note that it now says G:\ underneat Custom Location.
After step 3. Select the current location of the catalog: All Users:
Note that you also need to click on the catalog name ("Test" here) to allow the Move button to be clicked.
After step 4. Click the Move button:
After step 5. Select Custom Location:
After step 6. Click OK:
The catalog Test is now in the custom location G:\.

PS CS5.1 suddenly stops working correctly when opening another file

Hi, I have the Creative Suite cs5.1 student version (had it for about a year now), and now recently I have started to encounter a strange bug with Photoshop.
Sometimes when I have been working in PS for a while and then open another file, the photoshop starts acting weird, resulting in the file looking like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf.png
And if I try to paint anything, it will look pixelated like in this file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf2.png and if I use ctrl+z after painting the paint just looks like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf3.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf3.pngthe 2 last named effects will also apply for any images opened before this occurrence, and it happens for any file type.
I have checked my video card drivers, and they are up to date, so that's not a problem (My graphics card is ATI Radeon 5700 series). I've also run a throughout virus scan with Norton without it finding anything.
Any advice would be appreciated

I have checked my video card drivers, and they are up to date, so that's not a problem (My graphics card is ATI Radeon 5700 series).
Actualyl they still might be. Having the latest and newest is not always the most reliable. According to Noel Carboni, the best driver for ATI cards and any version of PS at this point is Catalyst 12.8, not the latest 12.10. So in fact you may simply need to downgrade to fix these problems.

many thank in advance.

You can use fscommand("exec") to run a batch file to open an exe - but exe is a Windows executable, not for Mac OS

Drop Down Menu Opening another File Script

I am using a drop down menu to generate other information in different selection. I received great help before but have encountered another problem.
I have attached a example file.
Once the user has selected the offense title and it generates the above information, I
was wondering if you can script it to open another adobe form contained in the script i'm already using.. For example when
user selects the Abandon Endanger child criminal negligence, (I already made this complaint
in adobe) it would open the file.

not 100% sure if your after a hidden subform to show up after a certain selection is made or if you want the user taken to a totally different form
e.g. click option 4 and get a new document opened in you face - im guessing the second option in whihc case I think you should be able to do this by using the app.openDoc("examplename.pdf") command
not one ive used myself but it should work much the same as the app.launchURL command which is usually quite stable
so you would have some code on your preferred event
to say something like
if (this.rawValue = "whatever value you want to trigger action";
app.openDoc("examplename.pdf")
alternatively if you other form is also online you could probably trigger it using the app.launchURL function - although the app.openDoc is meant to be the appropriate function for this type of thing
hope that helps - if not just clarify what your after and well try again!
cheers

Want to open another project from Quiz Results - can't get it to work.

I have been trying to get my course to open another project (an instruction slide) after the user completes a quiz and it is not working. The course always closes after the quiz results. I have set the Project End Options and the Pass or Fail options to all open another project (the instruction slide), but instead, after the user clicks 'Continue' on the quiz results page, the course always closes. What could I be missing? (Am using Captivate 5.)

Just finally getting my head above water and am able to respond and update. Yes, I was using a tool called RELOAD to update the imsmanifest file. Actually a great tool that I can recommend now that I worked out the kinks with Captivate. Please see this post for more information. http://www.caddicks.com/blog/2012/02/17/how-to-publish-a-multi-file-captivate-project-as-a -single-scorm-course/#comment-249711
Here's a quick summary of how I ended up resolving this - I can't even remember all the different options I tried until I settled on this! I never resolved the issue with launching another project from the quiz results page, but found a workaround that works even better.
The course starts with a brief introduction module. The 'Continue' button on the last slide is set to launch another project, which opens the course's 'main menu.'
The 'main menu' project has several buttons that launch appropriate sub-topic projects.
On the last slide of each of the 'sub-topic' projects has the 'Continue' button set to launch the 'main menu' again. Each of these had quiz questions, but feedback was set at the question level only - no quiz results page.
The last option on the 'main menu' project was a 'Course Completion' button - which launches a project containing the final quiz. (NOTE: This was always the only project that had the "Show score at the end of the quiz" set to display under Preferences / Quiz / Settings. After a lot of hair-pulling, I realized that it wasn't necessary to open another project to accomplish what I wanted to do, which was return the user to some basic instructions before they retook the quiz.)Here is how the last project was set up.
The first slide is a content slide with instructions for the quiz. When the user clicks the "Back" button from this slide, it will launch the 'main menu' project. 'Next' simply goes to the next slide.
Slides 2-5 are quiz questions
Slide 6 is the quiz results slide (turned on under Preferences / Quiz / Settings). Buttons are: Review Quiz and Continue.
Slide 7 is a content slide with instructions on what to do next. This slide has a text button that I called "Retry" and under Properties / Reporting for the button the "Include in quiz" is NOT checked. The Retry button takes the user back to the first slide in the quiz.

Only able to edit one page from a project then must shut down to open another

Hi! I have upgraded to Muse CC 2014 on a Windows 7 machine, when I open a project I can only open a single page from the planning window. It will not allow me to open another page when double clicking on the page icon. If I close the first page opened I no longer have the ability to open any pages for editing. I have to FORCE QUIT Muse and reopen to edit a single page every time. Anybody have this issue and a fix? I already have went through the usual CC uninstall al reinstall so please do not suggest it.

Thank you for providing your file. It's been very useful. Sorry for the slow reply. Adobe in the US shuts down for the 4th of July week, so the Development Team's back from leave today.
We've isolated the cause of this and are working on an update to address it. In your file this bug is triggered by groups that contain HTML Insert objects which are slow to draw. The header on your master page contained multiple groups with HTML embed code objects. I've ungrouped those and that avoids this bug without changing the appearance of your pages. I've sent your file back to you using Adobe Send. You should receive an e-mail notification shortly, if you haven't already.
Now that we are aware of the problem and the cause, we're actively working on an update to address it. In the meantime, if you avoid grouping HTML objects with other objects in Muse you should avoid this bug.
Very sorry for the inconvenience. A huge THANK YOU for sending us your file.

Hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf on a mac?

Hi, I have been trying to find a program or app on my mac that will enable me to click on a word in one pdf file from my documents which would then open another pdf file in my documents. I can't seem to be able to do it on preview via the hyperlink or adobe reader, can anyone help? I assume this would be easy to do on Acrobat X Pro? Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.
Thank you!

With Adobe Acrobat you can add links.

How can I give a name to excel sheet and open another one?

Hello!
I use CSVWriter for writing in excel file.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can I give a name to a Sheet in excel file?
2. How can I save the first Sheet and open another one with a different name?
Thanks!

This is the equivalent in Apache POI which may or may not help. I've never used CSVWriter.
HSSFSheet sheet1 = workbook.createSheet("sheet1Name");
HSSFSheet sheet2 = workbook.createSheet("sheet2Name");Then you can use either sheet object to write your contents. Look at the documentation for CSVWriter that pertains to sheets as it should tell you how.

How to hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf?

Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.

You can insert hyper-links in PDFs in Preview by clicking on Tools > Annotate > Add Link. The key is to point the link at the local file. The link should start with "file://" followed by the complete path to the file you want to open (e.g.: /Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf). In other words, the complete link will be: "file:///Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf".

How to make sure, on success action 'Open another project' works on both ipad and desktop devices

If I have a project with a open another project in a new window action set to a button in that project, will only placing the swf and htm files of the newly opened project within the published folder of the parent project be enough for allowing the parent project to be played successfully both in desktop and mobile devices like ipad? To allow this, I presume multiscreen.html file located within the published folder of the parent project is the file to be used. But, since swf files can't be played on mobile devices, do I need to place the multiscreen.html file located within the published folder of the newly opened project into the published folder location of the parent project? The parent project folder location already has multiscreen.html file specific to that project and if the multiscreen.html file of the newly opened project need to be added to the published folder location of the parent project(which also has multiscreen.html file), how do I go about doing this? Can I just rename the mulscreen.html file of the newly opened project to say something different like multiscreen1.html and add this file along with the swf and htm file into the published folder location of the parent project, so that it works for both desktop or mobile devices.

From what I'm hearing, you're probably wise to have a copy of the file in both locations. One in the same folder as the SWF, and the other in with the HTML5 files. What I don't know is exactly where in the HTML5 folders your file would need to be. It might need to be at the same level as the index.html. I haven't tested this.
You should be able to figure out the answer to a lot of your questions just by testing things out on content uploaded to a web server. At the end of the day, if it works, it works.
