PSE 8 Editor will not launch-Please HELP!

I purchased PSE 8 and installed it to my computer, which meets all system requirements.
After everything was installed, I opened and Adobe ID account. When the welcome screen appears and I click on "Edit" the screen says "Launching Editor" for about 3 seconds, stops, and then nothing happens. I read the "Read Me" section that comes with the software and it mentions a problem with the Editor Launcher having trouble initializing. The instructions are to click "Edit" from the welcome screen, then click SHIFT+ALT+CTRL (or whatever order, I've tried everything) and then click "YES" for rebuilding editor launching preferences. Well, when I click "Edit" and SHIFT+ALT+CTRL, NOTHING happens!!!! I don't get any kind of response.
I have unistalled, reinstalled... I am so frustrated. I have used PSE 3 in the past and have never had any trouble. I have already wasted 2 hours on this program and I haven't even used it!
Please help me,
MarieAntoinette1234 (And my screen name sucks!)

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

PSE 12 editor will not launch

I am sorry if this is a duplicate but I don't think my first one posted.
I have the full version but the editor will not launch. It asks for my Adobe password and then the screen goes blank.
Should I uninstall it and try again?

Under C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\12.0\editor\ there are files on the desktop which are not on the laptop (see the next three screen shots). Does this have anything to do with it? Why wouldn’t they be on the laptop since I loaded it from the same CD?
Is the version on the laptop not registered or activated?

PSE Photo Editor will not launch

Bought PSE12 on 9/5/14 with new camera. Installed and runs fine on Windows 7 desktop. Installs on laptop. Everything except Photo Editor will launch on the laptop. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. It has made no difference

Safari Will NOT Launch- Please help!

Hi- I have a clean install Leopard (all updates too) on my new Macbook Pro. Just started today:
When I click on Safari the dot underneath the Safari on the dock shows and Safari shows at the top (menus), but no window comes up and when I put my mouse cursor at the top where the menus are, I get the beachball. When I right-click Safari, it shows "application not responding"
I have rebooted and I have done a repair permissions...
Please help! Thank you!

You have to be a little more careful in the Terminal as spelling errors might actually spell disaster (like removing your whole home folder).
But if you want to have a play around and learn some useful commands, then I recommend CLIX:

If you ignore the slightly holier-than-thou attitude (he is very derogatory about some very good maintenance apps) it is very useful for learning under-the-hood stuff.

IPhoto and Disk Utility Will Not Launch - Please Help!!

Hello!
The last week I have not been able to launch iPhoto. When I tried to troubleshoot last night by going through solutions on the forums, I realized that I couldn't launch Disk Utility either. I have since run the Disk Utility from the Mac OS Panther Install Disk, gone through several troubleshooting procedures (font cleanups, cache cleanups, hard-disk space cleanups, etc.) but with no success.
The last troubleshooting doc I went through recommended checking Console for a log of problems, and sure enough, the only comments in the Console Log were related to iPhoto and Disk Utility. Can someone please advise regarding the below comments and how to fix??
Thank you SO much!

Hi - I appreciate the assistance, but archiving and reinstalling does not help me determine why this happened, how to prevent it from happening again, and is a fairly elaborate process for something that might have a quick fix (what I was hoping for). I was trying to leave that as a last resort.
Also, I have no idea what Onyx is - would you elaborate?
Thank you!

PSE 11 Editor will not start

PSE 11 Editor will not start; the Organizer does. I have tried uninstalling PSE 11 and received the following error box: " Error 1306.Another application has exclusive access to the file C:\PhotoshopElements\11.0\ThumbDatabase.db3. Please shut down all other appllications, then click Retry." I tried installing WITHOUT uninstalling and got the same error. How can I get the Editor going again and/or get around this uninstall/install error?

try launching the organizer through its exe , for that you can right click on the icon and go to Find target location , select PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe. See if the organizer launches , also if it launches then try reinstalling this application again

Try this:

Editor will not Launch

I have PSE 11 and suddenly my editor will not launch and whenever I touch my screen rotating circle appears and i need to wait a few moments.

What is your operating system?

Itunes 7.0 will not launch! HELP!!!

It will not launch but, it gives no error. I have made sure quicktime is not in safe mode and have made sure audio speakers are set for headphones. Those are the only two things that I could find on apple's website that they suggest to try. What next? Thanks for any help!

I too am having the same problem. It's odd: I click on itunes.exe (either shortcut or from the iTunes directory), and through task manager I can see the iTunes process start for a split second before disappearing and then nothing – no error messages, nothing.
The first time I click the link, I can hear my hard drive whirring away as it normally does when starting an app, but once it fails to start, subsequent clicks on iTunes.exe fail to provoke anything from the PC (running XP Pro).
I have tried various options found on these discussion pages such as:
- repair install
- uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling stand alone QT
- uninstalling Quicktime and installing 'alternate' QT
- turning off anti-virus apps (I use AVG)
- turning off windows firewall (mind you, if it had then worked after having both of the above turned off; I don't think I'd use it anyway...)
Grateful if anybody has any solutions; I was really pleased with the jukebox-style artwork viewer of the previous-most-recent iTunes, and I have rarely had troubles before. Have Apple dropped the ball on this one?

Since you have used an IP in the EM's URL, there can be one more possibility besides this that the EM service has been stopped(as suggested by others already) . It may be a reason that EM service is not up because the IP address has been changed due to a machine reboot. As 9/10 times, the IP addresses are assigned via DHCP on home laptops and desktops, if this IP address is no longer there, the EM service won't be up. But before we shall come to know about this that whether this is indeed the reason, try the command-emctl status dbconsole and if it says, not running EM, emctl start dbconsole. Post the output of the commands.

Safari will not launch- any help would be greatly appreciated

This past week my safari began to fail to launch. It worked fine monday, on my friends home wireless. However when we booted it up Tuesday at our home-also wireless- it would not open. All other internet access works fine-ie ichat, itunes etc., but we can't get it to open with anything. When you click the icon it bounces as it were about to launch but never gets the black carrot under it. I opened the system activity monitor, and it also does not show it launching. I attempted to reinstall it using the number 2 setup disk, but that didn't seam to make a difference. It also will not launch if clicking on a saved html file nor on a hyperlink.... I tried moving the safari file folder and preferences file out of the library onto the desktop and restarting it(I had read that on a different post) but that had no effect...As I am used to working on a plain old IBM computer I'm not sure how else to trouble shoot the mac as its my girlfriends... any help would be greatly appreciated as we can't access the internet on hers to even download netscape or internet explorer

Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
- do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
- Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.
