PSE 8 won't open after installing new Wacom tablet

I have a PC that runs on Windows 7. I received my copy of PSE 8 with my Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch tablet around Christmas in 2010, and it's never given me any troubles before. About two weeks ago I purchased a Wacom IntuosPro Pen and Touch, and after installing the drivers, I went to open PSE 8 and it refused to open. There is no error message; it simply doesn't open. I've checked Task Manager and I can't find the application attempting to run there, either.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program about 4 times now. I've uninstalled the Intuos driver completely. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Bamboo driver. I've tried running PSE as an administrator, tried restoring it from a previous version, tried opening it from the file location rather than the desktop shortcut, searched for days online for anyone having a similar problem, and nothing has helped. I have a .psd file that I tried opening, and though PSE attempts to open, ultimately it ends with a screen that says "Adobe has detected that the application Adobe Photoshop Elements has unexpectedly quit", and prompts me to send a crash report.
PSE 8 worked perfectly fine the day before I installed the Intuos. I haven't changed a thing with my computer other than installing the Intuos (which again, is now uninstalled) and everything else works the same. I can't for the life of me figure out what to do.
If you can offer me any advice, I would very much appreciate it! I've been using PSE 8 for years and I love it, and I've loathed the last few days of being unable to use it. Thank you in advance!

ok...update...the editor will now open..but can't get the organizer to open.  it just keeps saying "loading the lements organizer workspace.  Eventually that message disappears, but then nothing happens.

  • Pages won't open after installing new HD

    I have a 2009 intel iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  After installing a new hard drive, the OS, and all my programs, none of the iWork 09 programs (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) will open.  (All other programs work fine.)  For example, when I click on the Pages icon, it says "Pages could not open because of a problem... Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."  When I click on Report, it says:

  • Photos won't open after installing new Leopard Operating system........

    A friend of mind cannot open up his file on his external hard drive. He has the new leopard system installed recently on his lab top and moved everything over from that external hard drive hard disc to the external. He says he click onto the image file and gets a window saying "image not supported by 0S9" or something to this effect. I am guessing that he should just drag the photos from the external back onto his desktop and open them up this way. Does he need to do anything to the external now that he is using Leopard on his labtop. He was using OS9.5 previously.....????? And how can he open up his photo files......????
    Any info is much appreciated......
    Thanks !

    moved everything over from that external hard drive hard disc to the external.
    Could you clarify this? It seems like a typo but knowing exactly what has been done is important
    It is not a good idea to just start moving things around without understanding what is going on - and since iPhoto never ran on OS 9 that I remember I'm confused as to what he is trying to open

  • Motion 3 Won't Open After Installing

    Hi,
    I reinstalled Motion 3 after doing it 2 days ago because the beach ball keeps coming up and never leaves causing me to force quit. I let it stay up one night and when i awoke 8 hours later it was still up. thus, i reinstalled after trashing it. there's never any motion files in the library to delete and no motion files in the receipts. this time it won't open after installing it and booting down computer. I have lion 10.7.5   the fcp studio disk that i install for motion says version 3 but could have sworn on the computer when it was working it said motion 4. Any suggestions? did all my software updates too.
    Thanks,
    joe

    Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.

  • Iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1

    Please help. My iphone 4 won't open after installing ios 7.1.. I already connected it to my pc but still didn't open. I waited for a long time, press the on/off, home buttons but still didn't work. Thanks Jah bless all..

    Honsetly I do not know if they will charge you, however apple products usually have a one year warranty, such as your charging cable, might. But if you tried to use another charging cable then you will want to make an appointment with Apple. good luck

  • Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

    My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
    Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
    Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

    Also one more thing
    On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
    But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
    Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

  • Aperture 3.4.1 won't open after install

    Aperture 3.4.1 wont open after install.  it says my graphics card isn't supported.  Here's my card ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, but I can't find specs required for 3.4.1, so I got no idea

    Here is the Error Message I get
    "The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture."
    Here is my hardware profile:
    iMac
    24-inch Mid 2007
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G56)
    Went by the Apple store and they didn't have anybody that had seen this one yet.  Going by tomorrow for a deeper dive to see if they can find any issue with hardware.  Seems like they should have found this before release.  I suppose it could be an old card.  My iMac is from 2007, so it could be that they have passed it by.  I just want to knowwhat I need to get next.  Ill reply to this tomorrow if it gets resolved

  • Reader won't open after install - Macbook Air, Chrome

    Hello, After downloading the reader (seemingly successfully), it won't open. Downloaded via Chrome OSX on a brand new Macbook air. Adobe's help section advised redownloading the program again. When I did so, I received this message after going through all steps (including deleting the original download from the computer). Have tried a few times now, with same result:
    When I click on the installer on my desktop, it repeats the exact process described above. Any ideas?

    Hi laurenr67230747,
    You indicated that Reader won't open, so it sounds like you did get it installed (as indicated by the message in the installer as well). What happens when you try to launch Reader? Do you receive an error, or does nothing happen when you try to open it?
    Have you tried removing Reader before running the installer again?
    Best,
    Sara

  • App store won't open after installing OS 10.9.2

    I installed OS 10.9.2 and now my app store won't open.  When I launch it from the dock, the icon bounces and the light illuminates beneath the icon indicating that it is running however no screen ever pops up.  I launched the app store from the applications page and the same thing happened.  I tried restarting the computer and holding the shift key upon reboot but this did nothing as well.  This is incredibly annoying.

    Are you getting the menu bar at the top?
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Itunes won't open after installing 10.6

    The OTA upgrade to 5.1 went great but after I installed itunes 10.6 and restarted my computer (laptop with windows vista) itunes won't open if I ununstall & reinstall will I lose everything?

    Nope. But backing up before you do this is recommended.

  • Itunes won't open after install of IOS7

    After installing IOS7 on my Iphone4S iTunes won't open.  When you click the app it starts to open and then just closes.  I have shut the phone off and checked the settings but nothing seems to be working.  Help?

    Applesbabe wrote:

    That behavior indicates that the app is crashing.
    I recommend trying a restore.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes (current version: 11.1) and click the Restore button.
    Also consider any possible apps you might have that are suspect - possibly corrupt.  Remove any such apps before attempting the restore.

    After installing the latest itunes update, itunes won't open at all. I click on it and it just won't open. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still doesn't work.

    hello Nevada!
    After installing the latest itunes update, itunes

    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it

    following observations?
    reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes
    Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if
    so, does it persist in there, or does it disappear
    after a few seconds?
    love, b
    b noir - i have been following your advice and i want to thank you for taking your time to try and solve these problems for ipod users.
    i have been following this message board each day for the past week - ever since my iTunes stopped working. i have not yet seen anyone who is receiving the same error message as myself.
    like most others, i downloaded the recent update for iTunes - since then, iTunes will not open. i have tried most of the other proposed solutions to no avail, such as downloading a stand-alone version of quicktime, making sure my msconfig start-up has the correct check marks, etc.
    the iTunes set-up completes with no problem - i have tried installing by saving the file to my hard drive and then running and also by running the program straight from the download window. same results.
    once i go to open iTunes, i receive the following error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. if you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem." Then I click "Send Error Report" just hoping I will receive a required update to make this work.
    i was wondering if you could attempt to help me resolve this issue? i have my music saved to my external hard drive, so i am in no danger of losing my music. however, i need to open iTunes to update my iPod.
    thanks in advance for your help.

  • ITunes won't open after installing upgrade and restarting

    When I click on my iTunes icon in the dock, iTunes won't open. Instead, a message box comes up: "The file iTunes "library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
    Just before this happened, I imported a lot of music into my library. Now iTunes only opens if I pIug my ipod into my Mac.
    Is there any way I can get iTunes to open by clicking on the icon, as it used to do?

    What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
    Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
    In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
    com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    (don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
    Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
    RESTART the computer
    Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
    P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!
