PSE 7 Photomail crashes with Winmail (Vista). Previous threads checked

We have two machines, both running PSE 7 under Vista (Administrator accounts). On my wife's machine PSE 7 Photomail crashes with Winmail, on mine it works both with Adobe's Mail and Outlook. My wife uses Winmail, not Outlook.
I have checked the previous threads here on the forum and Rolf's master list, especially the one "PSE crashes during Photo Mail Steps of October 5, 2008" where it was suggested to assure to run under Admin priviledges and set Winmail in the Control Panel as default mail service.
I have deleted the Organizer Preferences (c:\users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Organizer\psa.prf) and noted that the new file is much smaller than the renamed one! Funny??!! Something going on here!
Adobe's mail service funcions, but, as many have said before, I have no record of the outgoing mail.
Except for going through Adobe's monstrous and ridiculous "check & fix" Knowledge Base list I seem to have checked all. Maybe I should tackle the Registry entries?
Any ideas or do we all wait for PSE 8 and hope that quality control has smartened up?
Thanks and hi! from a rainy Austria,
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
Fortunately I am getting mails from Adobe email client. Could you try it again to confirm if it works for you know ?

ITunes video crash with Windows Vista

Does any one know an alternative to playing movies/tv shows purchased through iTunes on Quicktime? Quicktime crashes Vista right now, but is embedded with iTunes. Any was to play the media on something else?
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.01 GHz w/ 2Gigs RAM Windows Vista 80 Gig Video iPod

I have the nVidia nForce controller mentioned in the knowledge base article in my new laptop...and of course I'm having that issue. HP wasn't able to resolve the issue, but they did say that they had reports of that issue on an Intel based SATA controllers also. I haven't tried external hard drives yet, but CD's, USB keys, etc. (basically anything that isn't an SATA hardrive) all seem to work fine so you may just want to find an external something large enough for your video files and put them there till someone figures out what's happening. It's somewhat annoying as it means one more thing to carry around if your portable like I am, but the iTunes library doesn't care where the file is so long as it knows where to look for it and it could be worse. As an example, I haven't taken my own advise and I'm using a 1GB USB key for 1hr TV show episodes that average 503MB...you do the math on that one.

PSE 9/Mac crashing with .NEF files

I've been using PSE 9 for a few weeks with no issues. Then I got a new camera, a Nikon D7000, and it started crashing regularly. I'm editing .NEF files (RAW from the Nikon). I've had messages saying it can't initialize because of a program error as well as insufficient RAM. (I'm using a MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM.)
I'm no computer expert and I'm not sure what to do. I've rebooted, quit all other apps, and would happily reinstall the software if I knew how (I purchased it as a download--do I redownload it to reinstall?).
I don't want to shoot in another format (I may not know computers but I know photos...) so I'm really hoping not to hear that PSE is incompatible with .NEF. or that I need to buy more RAM--which I'm not sure I can even add to this machine.
Help?

hi
i'm a full time stock photographer using a nikon D2XS and have imported almost 20,000 nef files with no problems. the nef files are completely viewable and editable in elements 9.0 and organizer.
u might want to check that ur using the latest Nikon software.
or the adobe raw as mentioned already.
also, u might want to make sure that in ur camera's set-up menu that u have just the NEF format selected. u could also reset the nikons defaults and reselect everything.
also in the adobe raw make sure that u have the correct camera selected in the camera calibration tabs.
good luck

PSE 7.0 Crashes w/Adobe E-Mail Service

PSE 7.0 crashes with the following response when I try to send an image using Photomail or as an attachment.
It appears to work fine (or at least gets to the point where I can edit the message) when using Outlook or Outlook Express. However, we use Thunderbird, so would prefer to use the Adobe E-Mail service. We upgraded from PSE 4, which worked on the Adobe E-Mail Service with no issues.
"Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Organizer) has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
It gets to the point where the email shows up on the right-hand sidebar, then the mouse goes to an hourglass for a few seconds and then the above error message.
I'm running XP Pro SP3.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marc

A couple of other thoughts:
1. Perhaps PSE 7 doesn't like the PSE 4 address book. That happens occasionally, though I recall it caused other symptoms, not a crash. You could find all copies of the file "contacts.xml" and delete them, and see if that helps. Different versions of PSE can hide these in dfferent folders, so configure Windows Explorer to show hidden files and then search your entire C drive.
2. You could try the sledgehammer approach of uninstalling PSE 7, manually removing all traces left behind by the uninstaller, and then re-installing in what Adobe calls "simplified mode", with anti-virus and all other background services disabled:

Mail crashes with Mountain Lion

Everytime I go to launch Mail it crashes with the following error
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00007fff89dbb690 strlen + 16
This is really bad because I have discovered that iCloud does not have a number of folders that were supposedly on iCloud according to Mail and of course anything that was stored On My Mac is not there either. I am presently using Postbox which is fine but not optimal since I use Mail otherwise.
I tried restoring Mail from Time Machine and that did not work, and all of the repair database instructions I can find are either out of date or require that Mail actually be running to work. The problem is unique to my Mac Pro, my other Macs work fine.
The Mac Pro is my primary machine. Is there a way to restore an old mail database and force it to rebuild?
Do I need to reinstall Mountain Lion?
Need some guidance friends.
Ross

Miraculously, the post below about Lion works for Mountain Lion as well.

macmrjohn Re: Mail 5 (OSX Lion) does not work after mailbox migration Dec 15, 2011 1:43 PM (in response to Alejandro M. Ramallo) This same thing happened today when migrating a friend's laptop. THE SOLUTION: Inside the Library folder (Lion hides this folder now, so hold down the option key and use the Go menu in the finder — Library will appear in the menu. Go there.) you'll find the Mail folder. Inside the mail folder was another folder called V2. I simply took the contents of V2 and dragged them to the parent folder (Mail). When I launched mail again, everything was back to normal. As Apple says, "It's that simple!"

PSE6 Organizer Crash with ACR 4.5 (Vista Only?)

Hello;
I'm experiencing the following problem when I download ACR 4.5 to be used with PSE6. The problem is that the PSE6 Organizer crash when I try to open the Organizer Preferences. Aparently this only happens with Windows Vista because I know of other users with XP and they are not expiriencing this.
I did try it with the original ACR 4.2 and works well.
I did try it with the previous ACR 4.4 and works well.
It only happens when you install the 4.5 and go to the Organizer's Preferences.
Regards

Ramon,
Sorry I made a mistake, now it is Ok.
In fact as I installed the new "Camera Raw.8bi" file, I moved the old file renamed "Camera RawOld.8bi in an "old" folder created in "..\Plug-Ins\File Formats". It was not a good idea because PSE6 was always seing the old version (despite renaming and moving in an "Old" folder). Now I've renamed the old file Camera Raw.old and all is Ok.
Thanks for your help.

Constant crashing with FF13 and newest Flash. Tried reinstall of previous version; nothing but trouble

A few weeks ago, everything worked very nicely on my desktop computer. Then I succumbed to the nagging and "upgraded" to FF13, as well as the new Flash and Real players. Immediately, FF started crashing. First, it would instantly crash with any tab that had Flash embedded.
OK, I disabled and then finally uninstalled Flash and Real, but that didn't solve the problem; it would still crash 3 or 4 times a day, and with as few as 30 tabs open (the previous version could easily run 100+ tabs). Apart from those 3 "updates", the only other thing I had done was to update my existing plug-ins and add-ons, but I even tried disabling all of my plug-ins and add-ons; FF still kept crashing!
Today, I got fed up and uninstalled FF13 (after using MozBackup), and d/loaded and installed the previous version of FF. Did that solve the problem? Nope. Now, I can't get Tab Mix Plus to work, nor can I find my hundreds of old saved Sessions with Session Manager.
I tried uninstalling Tab Mix Plus and then reinstalling it, but I just get an error message saying it couldn't be installed. In fact, this is the THIRD time I've had to type this post, since the first time, I mistakenly tried to open a new tab to search Tab Mix Plus in Google, but the f{ck1ng tab opened Google right over this page, wiping out my almost finished post, and the second time, I went to Tools-->Options-->Manage Add-Ons-->Tab Mix Plus-->Options, and it froze up FF, requiring restarting it! Indeed, it seems as if the entire Manage Add-Ons menu is now buggy and generally freezes up.
I am *this*far*away* from ditching FF entirely (after 7 years of being loyal to it) and trying Chrome. It really is infuriating how difficult it is to get this straightened out! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried creating a new Firefox profile and testing whether that will run without crashes? This is a non-destructive test that creates a new settings folder. It picks up plugins from the registry, but otherwise looks like a fresh install.
If you haven't used the Profile Manager before, this article describes how to start up into it and create a new profile: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
You can import your bookmarks by restoring a backup from your previous profile folder. For convenience of access, make a copy of your last bookmarks backup on the desktop. You can find that folder using Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder; navigate up one level to view your last active profile, then into the bookmarkbackups folder. Copy the latest .json file to the desktop. Then in the dialog pictured in the article "[[Back up your bookmarks or move them to another computer]]", use Restore > Choose File to import that file into your new profile.
Can you get through a day without crashing?

PSE 8.0 windows 7 slideshow created but output to wmv file repeatedly crashes (with 1 exception)

I have PSE 8.0 Windows 7 and successfully create slideshows but the output to wmv file repeatedly crashes (with 1 exception) & adobe crash reports submitted have gone unanswered. Can anyone suggest solution(s) please?

Please see if windows media player is present on your system.

In Photoshop Elements12 (with Windows 8.1) added titles to my pictures do not appear in Windows. Formerly, in PSE 6 (with Windows Vista) added tiltles also appeared in Windows.

Formerly using Photoshop Elements 6 with Windows Vista I could add (or change) titles to my pictures in the Organizer and find the same titles afterwards also in Windows. Nowadays using Photoshop Elements 12 with Windows 8.1 and adding titles to my pictures in the Organizer I do not find these titles in Windows any more. That makes me sad because I want to have the titles in Windows but adding the titles is much more comfortable in Photoshop Elements than in Windows. Please tell me: Is there a help for me?

I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience. That's more a
matter of your display driver not really doing its job. What video card do you have?
FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7. That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment. It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
trying to make improvements.
If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop. I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running. I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
and it just kept working fine...

ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .
PC Pentium 4 Other OS Windows Vista Home Premium

I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.

Pse 7 organizer crashes when outputting slide show

PSE 7 closes down with the message that organizer has encountered a problem when I try to output a slide show in any form - create wmv, send to Premier Elements, write cd/dvd - a part of the file is actually output since I am able to go in and find it - once about 180 mb once about 60 mb. I have gone through the process adobe reccommends of deleting pref files, uninstalling cd/dvd drives, changing registry, uninstall, reinstall etc. all to no avail. I am able to do a slide show in Elements 6 and output that to Premier Elements. Is there a way to open the PSE 7 slide show in PSE 6? I really don't want to have to go back and recreate the slide show if I don't have too.
I should add that I sat and watched taskmanager while the process of exporting was being attempted and it doesn't appear that the problem is a computer related memory problem. I also read the information created when the incident occured in the elements log (I couldn't understand enough of what I was reading to find where things went wrong)
Any help would be great.

I am running Vista 32 bit with 4MEG or memory and an additional 4 MEG of flash. Is there a update or download I can use to eliminate this problem in Organizer? I wouuld appreciate any assistance.

When Trying to View an .mov File, PSE 8.0 Crashes... Help

When Trying to View an .mov File, PSE 8.0 Crashes... Help I was able to view these .mov files without any problem on ACDSee 2.5, any help will be appreciated to determine why .mov files crashe in the PSE 8.0 viewer....
Best Regards,
Larry

Thanks for the reply Larry. This is frustrating, and Adobe support is useless. It all works on my vista 64 bit system, but not on the 32 bit system. The odd thing is that I can open .mov files in Editor by going to File-Import from video, select "all file types" and choose a quicktime movie and it will open and run just fine. I can take stills off the movie. But if I try to open the same movie file with File-Open...I get an error message "Cannot open file......wrong file type" In organizer everything just crashes. I suspect there are some security issues in Vista that won't allow PSE to access Quicktime.
Too bad Windows 7 didn't fix the problem. I was starting to head that way. I will let you know if I find a solution.

CS4 (PS 11) constant crashes with larger files -

I am encountering persistent program crashes with Photoshop 11 (CS4) when I have multiple layers (four or more) and the file size exceeds 75 mb. The error message that Photoshop has encountered a problem and is closing appears without further details. When I reopen PS, I then get the message about "Photoshop encountering a problem with the display driver and disabled GPU enhancement" despite the fact that I previously unchecked enable OpenGL drawing in the preferences-performance tab. It is blank on that tab after "Detected Video Card" whereas in CS3, it correctly notes the following video card. My video card is nVidia GeForce 7600 GT with the latest driver dated 10/07/08.I have 4 GB of RAM, however in the performance tab of preferences it notes 1.633 GB AM available and Photoshop using 960 mb. I also have CS3 (PS10) and do not encounter the same problem. The OS is Vista.

Please search the various threads in this forum pertaining to OpenGL issues. Updating to the latest driver 178.24 is inevitable. Also check for the "Old GPU" enabling registry hack. The prefs only get saved on program exit, so it's natural the old options are in place after a crash. Disable OpenGL, exit the program, relaunch it and only then start working with it.
