PSE 8 Photoshop Editor has stopped working - Solved

I was not able to open the Photoshop Editor.  I am on a PC, with Vista and 64-bit edition of Windows.  Here's what they had me do to fix it:
click on Start; then computer; then C drive; open Program Files(x86); open Adobe; open PSE 8 file; open Locales file; click on en_US; open Plug In file; open import export; right clidk on Twain_32 and choose rename; rename it to read ~Twain_32; click enter.  Close out and it should work.  It worked for me.

While the fix solved my PSE8 editor opening problem it didn't fix everything. When I'm in Organizer and press ctrl+k to open preferences the program just freezes for eternity. I end up using ctrl+alt+delete to shut down PSE8. Ironically, ctrl+k works fine in the Editor.
Have a look here for further help http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm
Sorry I could not be of more help, I'm only finding my way around too.

  • My photoshop editor has stopped working. Can anyone help? I've read a bunch of forums and still it doesn't open.

    My organizer works fine but when I try to open the editor, the load bar comes up but then disappears and it never opens. It worked about a month ago but I tried to open it Saturday and it didn't work. I've read a bunch of forums and still can't find any way to fix it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, my computer is updated, I've tried the control, alt, shift key thing, nothing has worked. Can anyone help me fix this problem? I need this program to work!

  • "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"...message

    I am very very very new to this...and have had so much trouble I'm ready to ask for a refund!  After installing and watching tutorials and not being able to load any pictures to the 'organizer'...(my autoplay does not show the "Organize and Edit Photos" or show the Photo Downloader...I finally called Customer Service.  He told me I needed to uninstal and reinstall.  Ok..I've done that.  But it's still not on Autoplay.  At least he showed me where the file menu is on the 'organizer', so I could get some pictures in there.  But when I click on 'Edit Photos', I get the pop-up message, "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"....It never HAS worked....This thing just came out of the box today and has too many problems for a newby like me.  What is the problem?  Actually, there are the two problems.  HELP!

    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works. Let me know if you have any comments.
    Thanks

  • Error message - photoshop elements editor has stopped working

    Hi - I've installed photoshop elements 8 twice, and I still get the error message "photoshop elements editor has stopped working" .  I can't seem to get beyond this point.  My system is Windows Vista.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
    This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
    Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.

  • Photoshop elements 12 editor has stopped working.

    This is the error message I get.  Photoshop elements 12 editor has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    The programme opens and then crashes.  I took it all off my computer and then reloaded it again but have the same message.  If anyone can help I would be grateful.@

    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  12\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Vista 64-bit issues "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working"

    I recently purchased Elements 8 and to this point have been unable to use the editor function.  I can "Organize" without complaint but when I attempt to edit a photo I get a message telling me that "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working."  I have attempted to uninstall and re-install and the result has been the same.  While researching online I see that there are a number of people that have this issue but have been unable to find any real solution.  Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

    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:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Editor_cra shes
    It's very likely that your issues are unrelated to the fact that you're running on 64-bit Vista as opposed to 32-bit Vista.

  • Elements 7 editor has stopped working

    Dear elements 7 community, I have using elements 7 for four years on my windows 7 computer with very little problem. It seemed a very stable program. This program came free. I also use Lightroom 4
    However now my elements editor has stopped working. Either a windows dialogue box appears stating that elements is not responding and it is looking for solutions. Or more often you try and launch one of the editing suites like "guided edits" and it starts to load for a second and then reverts back to the fix page. An edit in progress message appears across the loaded image even though nothing was achieved.
    Could any of you accomplished users tell me the problem. Feel free to ask for more information. Thank you

    No. It would have fixed it if that were the issue.
    Did you make sure you have enough virtual memory allocated for Photoshop Elements to use when you went through the troubleshooting. I have a DELL. I had to change my virtual memory setting to get Photoshop CS3 to run.  With the factory Page File setting, Photoshop would crash immediately with the generic Windows message about Photoshop needing to close and Windows is looking for a solution.
    See this document for specifics.

    On the Vista machine: Unless you have UAC (Vista's User Account Control) turned off,  you'll have to be the administrator and give permission to yourself to do this. Not sure about your Windows 7 machine...
    Step 4 in the above is a bit vague. They want you to click under System on the sentence that says "See the name of this computer". In the screen that pops up, look in the left hand pane for "Advanced System Settings" and click it. In the dialog that pops up select the "Advanced tab". In the box that is headed by Performance, click Settings. Next go to the "Advanced" tab that comes up in this dialog. Next to the word Virtual Memory click the change button. Change to desired custom size on this screen.

    If you don't know the amount of RAM, your computer has:  Click the Vista start icon; then right click the word computer in the right hand pane; select Properties. A screen displaying all of your computer specs including amount of RAM installed will come up.
