PSE10 Organizer won't open. Had an online chat which didn't help

Hi all - very frustrated. I have been running PSE8 for some time now and have just purchased PSE10 to keep myself current. The install seems to go OK but when the welcome screen comes up and I choose organizer, the program just closes. No error message, nothing - just closes. I can choose editor and that loads fine. If I then choose the organiser tab in the top right of the editor screen I just get a white box in the editor screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, performed a system restore from a previous restore point but no luck.
I have had 2 online chats, both of which seem to be very scripted asking me to do a range of things like going into the elements directory and opening organizer from there whilst holding down ctrl + shft , renaming catalogues, creating new user acounts with admin priviledges etc. but that does not work either.
I have sometimes had problems with PSE8 opening the organiser with it just shutting down, but always the 2nd time I open it, it works no problems.
As it stands I'm close to residing myself to being stuck with PSE8, but I don't want to be forever held at this point. Don't know if I can face another 2 hour online chat being asked to perform the same actions!
If anyone can help me to overcome this I'd get them a beer!

I must admit I feel a bit fooloish as I followed your instructions without reading them first, hence when I got to the end you ask for the processes I ended, I didn't note them down! Anyhow, off the top of my head there was 3 processes I ended. One was an Adobe QTxxxx type process, one said elements and the other said elements organizer.
Your help is much appreciated. I'm close to picking up my hammer to "fix" it once and for all!

  • Firefox won't open and the steps in tutorial didn't help nor did uninstalling and re-installing

    Hi,
    I have been thru the tutorial and none of the steps solved the problem I am having with firefox. I just installed it on a new computer and it won't open. It says that it cannot run until process is ended or computer is restarted. Restarting and ending the process don't seem to help. The other tutorial step of deleting the lock file doesn't work either as I could not find a lock file.

    Right... Back to square one.
    - Open Internet Explorer, go to "www.mozilla.com" and download the installer for Firefox 3.6.12 and save it to your desktop.
    - To uninstall Firefox, first make sure no "firefox.exe" processes are running on your machine: Open the task manager (invoke it by pressing ctrl-alt-del and choosing the appropriate option), click on the "Processes" tab, click on the heading "Name" to sort all running processes by name.
    Scroll down the list and right-click on the first "firefox.exe" process picking the "Kill process" option. If there's more than one of them, repeat for all instances of "firefox.exe".
    - Now go to the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall and double-click "helper.exe". This should uninstall Firefox completely.
    - Now we're in for the hard part: Go to C:\Dokuments and Settings\[Your User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. That's where your profile resides. Unless you're using the Profile Manager, chances are you're seeing just one directory "[random string],default". (In my case it's called "4sr92zjz.default", f. ex.).
    If you got any bookmarks you'd like to keep, open this folder, find the file "places.sqlite" and move it to your desktop.
    Now delete the entire contents of your profile folder--you'll need to configure firefox anew. Do keep this window open, you'll need it again in a few moments.
    Go to your desktop, run the installer, start Firefox once, close it again and move your "places.sqlite" file from your desktop to your profile folder.
    Now double-click Firefox and reconfigure it according to your preferences.
    N.B.: Do get "MozBackup". With this application you're able to save and restore a working Firefox profile--for your next mishap ;-)

  • PRE8 Organizer won't open-Win7

    For some reason Organizer won't open. Crashes when I try to open it, eithe from startup menu or within program.
    Tried restarting the program and the computer several times.
    The problem started occurring when I had just imported several HD vids into the gallery and then clicked the Organizer button while the program was "conforming media". Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
    Brand new PC, Win 7, 8 core Intel with 1.5TB HD and 8Gigs RAM.
    Organizer crashed a few times before but would start working again somehow. Not this time.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.

    Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
    This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

    Have you tried restarting the computer?

  • PSE12  Organizer won't open.

    PSE12 photoshop side is working fine, but the organizer won't open.  I says there is a problem.  I have updated the OS system and Adobe software and it still isn't working.  Suggestions?  I spent a long time editing a photo and now have nothing to show for it.

    You need to help us out a little here. Like, what operating system this is and exactly, word for word, what the error message says, and which updates to the OS you just applied, for starters.

  • HT201210 Just updates itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Images won't open in my gmail or websites can anybody help me? this happend when i updated to the newest version of Firefox

    Question
    Images won't open in my gmail or websites can anybody help me? This happen when I updated to the newest version of Firefox

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    * Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    * Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    * Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
    * Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

  • ? Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer won't open on Windows Vista ?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 8 onto a Windows Vista computer and registered. The Organizer opened with broken thumbnails throughout and I could not update the thumbnails. Therefore, I closed the Organizer and opened it again, hoping it would clear up. Instead, the Organizer would not open at all, and I've not been able to open the Organizer since.
    Despite several Support cases, Tech Support could not help. They said to uninstall Elements and reinstall it, but when I uninstalled, the disc software screen said I must first deactivate my serial # by launching Elements 8 and going to Help > Deactivate.
    However, when I launched Elements 8, a screen appeared with a choice of either a free trial or to enter my serial #. I entered my serial # and got a red "X", and it would not accept the serial #. Tech Support said there is nothing wrong with my serial #.
    Tech Support then said to download the Trial Version. I did that, but could not open the trial version either!
    Message:
    "Files in use. Some files that needed to be updated are currently in use."
    "The following applications are using files that need tro be updated by this setup.
    Close these applications and click Retry to continue.
    Organizer - Photoshop Elements"
    So it thinks my Organizer is open and using files, and it's not open. I can't get it to open!
    I clicked RETRY and got the same message.
    I clicked IGNORE and it was installing files, got almost to the end, said "registering product", then said "rolling back action" and started going backwards.
    I had uninstalled my Elements 7 software because I intended to now use Elements 8. I decided to reinstall Elements 7 to use that while I was dinking around with version 8, and now it gave me the same message:
          the serial # is in error, or is already in use by someone else!
    Now I can't use either 7 or 8.
    HELP! Does anyone know how to deactivate a serial # when the software has already been uninstalled? Can it be done?

    Hi Ankush
    Thank you for your reply!
    Unfortunately, I can't try out your suggestion until next summer, because in early November I moved to my winter home in Florida. I left my Vista computer in Colorado Springs in its sorry state of nonworking Adobe Elements versions 7 and 8. I took the software discs with me.
    When I arrived in Florida I bought a new computer.  I had left Colorado without being able to deactivate the Elements 8 serial number, so would not be able to use that software disc in Florida. Therefore, I asked Adobe for a refund. (Some of the tech support cases regarding the problem were still open and unanswered.)  Adobe replied that the month warrranty had run out so they wouldn't give me a refund. I argued a little, then gave up.
    Therefore, I bought a new Elements 8 software program. And the old XP Florida computer contains Elements 7 and I have the disc.
    The new problem: I must know how to DEACTIVATE a serial number before I dare install the new Elements 8 softtware, in case anything goes wrong, or in case I have to reinstall Windows 7 for some reason, which would wipe out any 3rd-party software. I also must know how to DEACTIVATE the Elements 7 serial number on my old XP computer so that I can install it on my new computer.
    I opened a CHAT session with Adobe and asked how exactly to do this, because their FAQs and other information aren't at all clear. Here's what the tech said to do. Launch Adobe. You will see "Help" on the "toolbar". Click "help" and select "deactivate". Well, all I get when I launch is a Welcome Screen and there is no toolbar with help there. So I thought, maybe he means, open the Organizer or Editor and look for the Help menu. I opened the Organizer, clicked on Help, and there was no deactivate option listed. So I opened the Editor and clicked on Help and there was no deactivate option listed.
    I just opened a case with Adobe asking what I have to do to deactivate a serial number. I don't see why they can't explain this.
    Have you any idea how this is done?

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer won't open on Windows 7

    It was working fine one day, I was adding pictures and actually was ordering prints through
    Shutterfly and came back to computer and organizer wouldn't open.  Any suggestions with
    out reloading software?
    Pam

    Actually I found the problem after searching through the forum list - it was the solution to reset the organizer's online-services state.
    Right, that was the step 7 I referred to.
    Is there a known problem with this feature?  I definitely am leery of ordering prints through the organizer field again.
    Yes, it's been a known problem in the Organizer since at least PSE 6 (2007), with an Adobe tech note describing the problem and the workaround:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405252.html
    Like most bugs in the Organizer, Adobe has explicitly chosen not to fix it.
    The problem appears to occur when an upload to a service is interrupted or fails.  The workaround, deleting those files, seems pretty reliable.

  • Firefox won't open, says profile may be missing or inaccessable, help pages not helpful

    Firefox won't open at all. I get a "Profile Missing" window saying "it may be missing or inaccessable". This morning my connection quit mid-reset while it said it was going through everything and not to turn it off, since then it refuses to open. I tried everything I could think of. Tonight I managed to open an ancient IE and am here now, tried as much of the "Help Pages" suggestions as the site sent me to (none were what my computer has even though I'm running XP), but nothing fixed the problem. I removed Firefox and then re-installed, twice, it still won't open.
    HELP!

    I can find NO "profiles.ini" file anywhere. When I open the "default library" there are none of the files you say should be there.
    I have tried a whole new download to update, it won't open because there is no profile.
    I tried removing the program and re-downloading, still won't open.
    I am not tech savvy enough to do much of the messing around you are suggesting. I need someone to help!
    Also - this site is about the least "user friendly" site I've had to deal with in ages!
    I should have been able to reply to the email, but you didn't allow that, too.
    I need someone to somehow walk me through what to do. HELP!
