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

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 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?

  • 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:

  • 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?

    Or you can click on a blank area of the desktop, hit the F1 key, and search for "System Restore."

  • MY Photo Editor will not open.

    In my Photoshop Elements 12 - the ORGANIZER program wil open OK, but the PHOTO EDITOR
    will not open.

    I am using Windows 7. PSE 11 works normal. So my computer and memory must be good enough.

  • 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

  • My photoshop elements 12 editor will not launch

    when I click on photoshop elements 12 editor it will not launch

    Did you have to reinstall it?  I had Photoshop Elements 12 on my laptop; worked fine and I enjoyed it.  I had to do a system restore on my laptop; not related to Photoshop.  Afterwards, I reinstalled PhotoShop Elements and it won't launch for me.  A message appears that says my trial has expired.  I never had a trial version; I just purchased the software. Tech support is...well, not supportive.  I've spent hours with them with no success and I'm told my issue is a known issue but I guess there is no fix.  They just tell me to contact them again if it doesn't work...well, duh that's why I contacted them in the first place.

  • PSE 12 Editor is not launching - Window opens and asks for registration

    I have PSE 12 (German Version) and had this successfully installed and working on my home desktop. End of January I moved to the US for some months and have installed my PSE 12 on my laptop (Win 8). I have moved the entire cataloque according to instructions from the desktop to an external hard disk and reconnected it with the new installation. After checking my installation of PSE 12 on the laptop (everything worked fine) I have deleted the installation on my desktop.
    After a good week, today I have tried to launch PSE Editor (from the main start window, where it offers on the top left the Organizer and right the Editor (as buttomns). As soon as I press the Editor bottomn, a new window opens and requests me to do registration of my product "within 7 days - otherwhise I can no longer use the software". Again this is a German Version and I just translate. In this window, I can enter my Adobe ID & password, which I did. Some seconds after entering my access data the window closes and shows the PSE launch window again. When I then want to launch the Editor, the same cycle starts: The window opens, requesting to do my registration.
    I can open the Organizer with no problem and it works. But even from the organizer I can not launch the Editor.
    My account shows that I have successfully registered my S/N & Product, which I did back some month ago when I had purchased it.
    Who can helpl me?

    PSE 6 is indeed compatible with Windows 7 -- many people have reported successfulling using it.  (But Adobe won't provide any support.)  See this FAQ:

  • Photo editor will not open

  • Photoshop Elements 13, photo EDITOR will not open.

    Purchased Photoshop Elements 13. Install seemed to work with no issues. Organizer opens with no issues. Editor does not open; when I click on Editor, the blue loading bar moves for about 6 seconds, then stops, and nothing opens.
    Any help would be nice... first time Photoshop buyer.

    Hi Sunier,
    I don't know if you solve your problem, but I solved mine...
    Editor would not open, I had to sign in,  then Accept the terms of the license and it would bring me back to the Welcome page where a had the choice of  ''Organizer or Editor''
    The problem was created bye Internet Explorer.  I had to go in Internet Options,   Connections,  LAN Settings and Remove the check at the bottom   ''Use proxy server for your lan''
    After that I restarted my program and It start working. I did notice that the check on ''Use proxy server for your lan'' comes back but do not affect my program to start after.   It was on the first time that I was
    trying to run the program after the install (what I mean, is I did not run photo shop before this install)
    Hope it can help you
    Richard

  • Elements 12 Photo Editor will not start - why?

    Here again, everything is loaded and works except the photo editor.  Organizer and Premiere work but when I try to use the photo editor it just looks like it is trying to start but then stops.  I have tried from both the file folder and the hello screen, also as as administrator.  No luck at all. 
    Anyone have an idea?       Any ideas are better than none!!!!

    Try making a shortcut to launch the Editor directly, bypassing the welcome screen. Go to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12
    Find the file called PhotoshopElementsEditor (click the image below)
    Right-click on the application and choose:
    Send to >> Desktop (shortcut)
    Go to your desktop and double-click on your new shortcut icon to launch.

  • Photo Editor WILL NOT START AFTER LOGIN

    I have purchase three different licenses of elements 12 in an effort to do my job. I have spent the last 4 hours on the phone with an illiterate representative of your business and so-called "specialist" to help me get this ******** working.
    Here is my Issue:
    I start up Elements 12. I am prompted to either pick the Organizer or Photo Editor. I pick photo editor and am prompted to enter my Adobe username and password. After CORRECTLY entering both, the pop-up window disappears and I am returned to the previous selection screen. Photoshop never starts. I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit.
    Can someone, for the love of God, reply to my issue in ENGLISH? I am tired of talking to people on the other side of the world with no technical knowledge!

    Firstly this is a user to user forum so feel free to vent, but it's not 'our' business. Just users trying to help each other out. So if you have a beef with Adobe you'll need to continue to go through the support and Live Chat channels, escalating to the support reps. manager if necessary.
    Secondly can you start the Editor directly - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe?

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Photo Editor will not open

    When I get the opening Organiser/Photo Editor page if I click on Organiser it takes me in, but if I click on Photo Editor it asks for my Adobe ID etc and then just goes back to the opening page, it won't take me further.
    I've tried opening from the Program files and I've installed the trial online and then entered my product key, but still the same.

    Hi,
    Please rename opm.db file @:
    Win:C:\Users\<user ame>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac:Users Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    Sign in again.
    Thanks,

  • PSE13 editor will not launch (windows 7)

    I have seen other posts like this one but have not gotten any answer form the forum people.
    I just tried chatting with adobe people three times and the last time they took over my computer and did some tinkering and then kicked me off the chat.  Still doesn't work.
    I have tried renaming files, I have tried getting updated application manager, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have updated windows fully...nothing has helped. 
    Does anyone know how to get my PSE13 editor to launch?

    See if this helps any. Substitute 13 for 12 in the file path:

  • PSE 7 editor will not open in XP

    I installed PSE 7 several weeks ago and it has been working fine. Now, when I attempt to open the editor nothing happens. It opens in Task Manager, multiple times if tried, but is never actually visible. I have un-installed and re-installed, deleted the preference files, cleared the registry, nothing works.

    Matt,
    Try installing the licensing-service update:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Install_the_licensing-s ervice
    If that doesn't work, I recommend these troubleshooting steps:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Editor_ crashes
    doing the steps precisely as described by Adobe. Even if you've done a step before, it's easy to make a mistake, so it's worth trying a second time.
