PSE Editor won't open in Windows 7

I just tried to use PSE 7 on my new Dell XPS 9000 with Windows 7 and I receive a message that there is an error. The organizer opens fine. I did click on the icon on properties and tried to change to allow PSE to work but that did no good. So, please keep it simple (I'm simple) and tell me if I have an option to fix 7 to work or am I forced to upgrade to PSE 8? I did try to re-install to no avail. I did not try to re-install by turning off anti-virus as I have read/been suggested. I doubt that would fix the problem. I s everyone, even with PSE 8 having problems right now? If so, and the Forum members do suggest PSE 8, I think I would wait until all the bugs are worked out.

Thanks John.... I did try to install with the antivirus disabled to no avail.
I tried everything you suggested. When trying to open the editor and watching the files load, I get the error warning dialog box when the "twain" files are loading if that means anything. I am downloading the 8 trial version now. Going very slow for an i7 processor. About 1 hr into it with an hour to go! Maybe because this is a busy time of day for Adobe. I did call Adobe but they want to charge to get 7 working. I think that is very unfair considering I did not cause a problem and in my opinion Adobe should have updates to allow 7 to run with Windows 7. They must have a simple fix if they are willing to fix for a price. I have bought Adobe software for years now and I am disappointed at the way they treat their "regular" customers. Any more ideas? Wonder why some can run PSE7 with no problems and others can't? I did tell you that this is a new Dell XPS 9000 that came with Windows 7 64 bit, didn't I ? Thanks again

PSE 11 Editor Won't Open Due to my "tampering"

Photo Elements 11 Editor won’t open. (I also have PSE 6 and Editor now won’t open in it). I have Windows XP. Editor was working fine until I was trying to get my Viveza 2 plug-in into PSE 11 (I had it in PSE6 and all was fine). I looked all over internet and could not find answer. Went into PSE 11 Editor screen and from one of the tabs I saw a place for plug-ins—you could browse for folder/file of plug-in (or so I thought). I went to Viveza folder inside my NIK folder and clicked it. After that --- Editor no longer loads in PSE 11 or 6. I have tried resetting Preferences—no help. I don’t even know what tab I used in Editor since I cannot open it. Any thoughts? I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling but think nothing will change since PSE6 was affected too. Need to change whatever I did to the file.
Any thoughts?? Thanks!

Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
If none of them works, let me know.
Solution1:
Close Elements. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. 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.
Solution2:
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution3:
In case that does not work too, you may try this.
Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.

Photoshop Elements 9 Editor Won't Open

I have PSE 9, and the editor won't open (organizer will, but not editor). When I click "Edit" from the welcome screen, the welcome screen just disappears and nothing happens. I tried accessing the editor directly from the program files folder, and again, nothing happens . I tried right-clicking on photos and telling them to open in PSE. Nothing happens. No error messages or anything-- it just won't open.
It worked fine on my old computer in Windows 7, but I recently got a new computer with Windows 8. I tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 7, but that doesn't solve the problem. I also tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Please help me-- this is driving me nuts! Thanks.

Yes, but the odds are that you chose the logical file instead of the correct one. The actual editor is hidden away inside the support files folder for PSE 13 and the file at the top level of the Applications>PSE 13 folder is just an alias to the Welcome Screen. You really want this one:

Editor won't open on newly installed PE8

I just got PE 8 for Christmas and installed it on my computer today. I am running XP, and my computer meets or exceeds all the requirements for the program to work. When I open the software, the Organizer works fine, but the Editor won't open. Every time I click on it it "thinks" for a minute, and then the Windows error window pops up telling me to send an error report. I've restarted my computer numerous times to no avail. I haven't uninstalled it and tried it again yet because I got a message saying I needed to deactivate the serial number to uninstall, and that made me nervous so I didn't do it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, I was so excited to get to use the software and am now completely frustrated that it won't work. Thank you!

Try the following. I put it in an older post in this forum Jan 4 I believe.
Called PSE tech support and had it working in 5 minutes.
goto C:/Program Files(X86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 8.0/Locales/en_us/Plug-ins/import-export    and file
   Twain_32    has to be renamed to   ~Twain_32      .
next goto   C:/Windows/twain_32          in this directory I had to remove a folder called Dell which was associated with an A940 printer that doesn't work on windows 7.   The only file left was    wiatwain.ds    .
with the 2 above change PSE came right up in editor mode.
My system is a Quad core from Dell 630i, 8 GB ram and running Windows 7.
maybe same problem in XP, don't know.

Ringtone editor won't open

When I click on the ringtone "bell" symbol, I'm sent to a page that tells me either to click on the bell (which I've already done), or to the Store menu and click on "create ringtone" -- but "create ringtone" is grayed out.
What do I do??? This never happened before. I'm using OS X 10.5.2 with an original iPhone updated with 2.0 software.

Do you get any error messages? Also, can you launch it manually by going to the program folder with Windows Explorer and double clicking on "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" file? On a windows system the file is located at:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop elements>
Also for version 5.0 the file may be called something else.. You just need to use some guess work. You can only launch .exe files so just have a go and post back.
Hope this helps.

G6 Experience Definition Editor won't open

Any ideas?

After 2 mos, Adobe Elements 12 Editor won't open

Worked fine before, now Editor won't open at all either from the Organizer or from anywhere else, such as Lightroom. Suggestions please

Interesting. I just closely examined the error dialogs I was getting when PSE 12 failed to launch. There were numerous problems with case sensitivity errors for various frameworks inside the application. For instance, one of the errors complained that it could not find the "AdobeLinguistic" framework. The reason evidently is that the name was actually spelled without capitals. It was "adobelinguistic". I manually correct quite a number of these types of errors by renaming the offending area in the Framworks section of the application bundle. This continued with each launch. I'd get a new error. I'd correct it and try again. Another error. Another correction. Finally, it got past all the issues and launched PSE 12. However, at that point, there was some internal error in PSE 12 (no surprise) that prevented it from running yet didn't show any kind of dialog where I could attempt to perform any further corrections. I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that I have my disk partition setup as a case sensitive partition. If someone else has a disk that is not case sensitive, I suspect they wouldn't see this error.
I've reported this as a bug on the Photoshop Family Customer Community in the hopes that someone from Adobe will see it and take corrective action.
I realize that some of you may find this post over your head a bit technically and for that I apologize. But since I had already posted here earlier, I wanted to get this out so people would understand that there does appear to be a real issue with PSE 12. We'll see what Adobe has to say.

Captivate 5.5 skin editor won't open

I'm working in Captivate 5.5, and the Skin Editor won't open, either from the Project menu or with Shift+F11. Any idea what's causing that? Is there another way to get at the Skin Editor, such as through the Publish dialog box? I couldn't find another way.
-Stuart

Hi Stuart
At any point have you had a second monitor attached? If so, it's quite possible that the dialog is indeed opening, but was last opened on the second monitor. In that case you need to either make your resolution large enough so that you see the dialog sitting in the odd location or re-connect the second monitor so you may then view the dialog and drag it back to the visible area of the screen.
Cheers... Rick

XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

Hi,
I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
Your help would be welcome.
Regards.
Alain.

Hi,
I am going to reply to my own question.
The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
Too simple I guess!!!!

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

Howdy rtih,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

IPhoto won't open any windows...

I recently upgraded my Early 2008 MBPro to Lion. When I launch iPhoto, it doesn't open my library. In fact, it won't open any window but the preferences. I've reinstalled iPhoto with absolutely no luck.
My library package is still there, and accessible from the finder. How can I get iPhoto working again? Is there a way to manually reconnect the library to it?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

PSE 11 Editor won't open

Just received a new PC w/ PSE 11 pre-installed. OS is Windows 8.
Was editing a photo in LR 4 and wanted to go into PSE 11 Editor to do more editing. When I tried to open PSE editor, Adobe required product registration, which I did. LR created a duplicate TIFF file and everything, and the window popped up asking if I wanted to Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments, etc., and then PSE 11 Editor opened up fine the very first time. (However it didn't seem like some of the tools were working properly, but that's another question for another time.)
Subsequent attempts to open the PSE Editor either from Elements itself and LR4 have failed. Editor will not open. Why is this happening with a brand new product?

Try these solutions to see if any of these work.
If none of them works, let me know.
Solution1:
