PSE7 Will not start on Vista

Hi!
I have been using PSE7 for a while, but now it has stopped working. I get no kind of error message, it just doesn't start. I have tried to start it directly from the installation directory, and also tried to start the PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe and PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe applications - with the same results.
Upon executing these applications, windows displays the mouse indicator as the "blue working disc" , but then nothing happens. Any tips?
My system:
Windows Vista SP1
4GB RAM
2.53 GHz CPU
Regards,
Kenneth Pettersen

Try installing the license-service update:

If that doesn't help, then I think you'll need to work methodically through Adobe's generic troubleshooting:

Follow Adobe's steps precisely, even if you think you've done them before. Let us know if any of this helps.

SQL Developer 1.1.2.2579 will not start in Vista Ultimate 64 bit

I have tried both versions of 1.1.2.2579 (with JRE/JDK and without). Both versions give me "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click OK to terminate the application." Build 1557 seems to work fine on the same machine (with UAC off. I have not tried it yet with UAC on).
Here are some machine details: MS Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit, default JVM Sun 1.5.0_11 [Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode)]. Since other folks had some problems with UAC I disabled that to see if it would make any difference. I get the same result with or without UAC when I try to launch the application normally. With UAC on and using "run as administrator" I get nothing at all. That is I get no error but the application never actually launches either. It doesn't appear to do anything at all.
The version of 1557 that seems to work fine is the one with the JRE.

And???
We can't help you if you don't tell us what you tried
and what happened when you tried it.This is message when try run on vista ultimate x64 "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click OK to terminate the application."

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

Windows vista 64 bit, w1907 desk top will not start up..

2007 pc vista w1907 desk top compputer will not start up.

I CAME HERE TO HOPEFULY GET HELP. BUT I GUESS I CAN GIVE SOME TOO. MY VISTA 64 IS FEEZING AND DUMPING TOO. THE WAY I GET IT TO RE-START IS...HOLD THE POWER BUTTON DOWN FOR 10 SECONDS. IT WILL POWER DOWN. UN-PLUG IT FOR A FEW SECONDS. PUG BACK IN. THE LIGHTS SHOULD BE OFF. IF NOT. YOU NEED TO UNPLUG AND LET REST FOR AWHILE.MAYBE 1 HOUR. IF THE LIGHT IS OUT.PUSH IT TO START UP. IF IT DON'T START.HOLD DOWN FOR TEN SECONDS AGAIN.DON'T UN-PLUG IT.PUSH TO START AGAIN. DOS START-UP SCREEN WILL COME ON.USE KEYBOARD TO SELECT SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKS.CLICK ENTER. IT SHOULD START WITH LIMITED SOFTWARE TO RUN AND TROUBLE SHOOT. I JUST DID ALL THAT TO GET HERE TO THIS FORUM. DOESN'T SOLVE MY PROBLEM. BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW I AM TO SEARCH FOR MORE SOLUTIONS. LAST WEEK I DOWNLOADED A UPDATE FOR NIVDIA DRIVERS. SEAMED TO SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT A WEEK. UNTIL YESTERDAY..I LOVE THIS VISTA 64. BUT EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS WITH IT. NOW, I SEE THERE ARE ALREADY PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 8. (**bleep**). I'M THINKING ABOUT BLOWING UP THIS POS AND SWITCHING TO A MAC
HP BETTER GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER OR I'M DITCHING THEM LIKE SO MANY HAVE ALREADY

Firefox version 3.5.16 will not start under Windows Vista and Windows 7 32bit

I have a Windows Vista computer that will not start any newer version of Firefox than 3.5.16. The process will run (as seen in the Task Manager) but do nothing.
I have since updated Windows to version 7 and the problem persists.
I have tried uninstalling Firefox and all Addons (flash-player, pdf-reader) and deleting all files (even user-specific ones).
Firefox can't be started in Profilemanger or safe-mode either.
Is there anything short of reinstalling windows I can try?

Solved it!
It was a dodgy version of Firebug (1.6.2) running, which would kill the disable/update process. It was killing something on the first run that would corrupt my Firefox.
How I fixed it:
* Download the latest Firefox
* Install Firefox 4 (as Standard) in-place upgrade
* Before finishing, un-tick the "Run Firefox Now" button
* Hit Finish
* Find Firefox in the Start Menu and hold Shift and click the executable (safe mode)
* Leave everything disabled
* You should now have a working Firefox!
Remove/update your add-ons as needed. I only had to upgrade Firebug in safe mode to get it working.
Odd how the check for updates completely broke this Firefox, wonder what was so bad about Firebug.
Hope this helps at least one other person! The "Run in Safe Mode" option is so hard to discover now when your browser is broken!

Vista SP1 - CF Service will not start

Running Vista Business. Life was good, I was productive! (CF 8 btw).
After installing Vista SP1, CF service will not start. Digging a little deeper, turns out JRUN can't fire off "coldfusion", one of the servers listed. Here is the error:
04/06 11:49:20 error Failed to create new connection
java.net.SocketException: select failed
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:384)

at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:421)
at jrun.jms.core.kernel.mipc.MultiplexConnectionServer.run(MultiplexConnectionServer.java:15 4)
Some digging turned up the possiblity that the jndi.properties file isn't being read. Changed permissions on it to let everyone in. Heck, you guys can probably get at it right now form where you are its so open!
More digging, turns out Windows Firewall like to block port 2930, which is apparently used for internal communication with jndi settings or some such. Opened that up. Found evidence of further internal communication on port 900, opened that up to.
Found this very useful and a bit scary info about missing DLLs and so forth:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=6&cid=224AA
Found reference to the updated Vista TCP/IP stack being a culprit in some cases, which often seemed to come down to, get this, a new host file entry for localhost: ::1 localhost. Commented that out, still no joy.
Tried reinstalling. Still no go.
Pretty much exhausted all possibilities I was able to think of or find info about.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Or, failing that, the address of a tall building to jump off? Thanks!

Read the manual?!?! No way, never! That would be like... stopping at a gas station to ask for directions!
But seriously, I did poke around there a bit. I do tend to forget that there is more to there is more there than the language reference.
Never been stuck like this though. Probably done over 100 installs dating back to CF4 on just about all windows flavors but have never had to dig in to the guts of the underlying Java like this.
Thinking it has to be something unique to this machine; I have done other Vista installs of CF8 with only minimal issues (typically having to set the service to run under an account that has permissions, maybe even set jrun.exe and jrunsvc.exe to execute under an admin account, but thats about it). Unfortunately, partially because of the environment we operate in, a fresh workstation install is a good day and half to two day ordeal.
Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

Elements 5 will not start from the windows old file after upgrading from vista to win 7

Ideally there should not be any impact of OS change, but officially PSE5 is not supported on Win7.
What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

AC connection is good. When I push the start button lights flash but nothing happens, computer will not start. Quick play and DVD cause the same effect.

At this point I would go ahead and contact HP Support. If your inside the United States you can contact technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

HP TouchSmart application will not start

We purchased an HP IQ 526 TouchSmart desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine approximately two months ago. We use Clearwire to connect to the internet. About a month ago the HP TouchSmart applilcation stopped working. It will not start. Every time we try to start it we get the following error message:
HP TouchSmart Calendar 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.
Sometimes it says it's the HP TouchSmart Notes has stopped working or one of the other TouchSmart applications. I went to hp.com and updated all of the software for the TouchSmart application and Windows Vista. And I reguarly use Windows Update to ensure my OS is current with Microsoft security updates. I also updated the firmware. After these actions and rebooting many times the application would still not start. At this point I contacted HP customer support. We uninstalled HP TouchSmart, then reinstalled. This didn't work. I continue to see information events in the Windows Application Log almost every minute regarding HPTouchSmartCalendarNotes. They are typically the following messages over and over:
Reminder clock elapsed event is successfully fired.
CheckReminder() is executed successfully.
ShowReminder() is executed successfully.
After Fetching the XML nodes, checking for each node is done successfully in ShowReminder()
Events in Events.xml Before Showing Reminder<DataRoot></DataRoot>
I still have a case open with HP support and they said uinstalling the OS and reinstalling is likely the next step but I have to believe someone else has run into this issue or HP has a QFE for this issue. I really do not want to uninstall the OS and reinstall it. This has become very frustrating as the HP TouchSmart application is the primary reason we purchased the computer so my wife can manage our photos and music collection via the touch screen.
If anyone has seen this before or has a solution I would love to hear about it. We are considering taking the computer back if we can not resolve this issue.
On a related note and this might be a separate issue I continuously get HPTCS stopped working messages. I've searched the internet for what HPTCS.exe is and what is does but there is little to no information available.
Please let me know or if there is additional information I could provide that would be useful for troubleshooting.
Cheers,
G

Our machine was sent back to HP and they reformatted our hard drive and sent it back. Wow. Fantastic service. NOT!!!! I could have done that. Without debugging their own software to figure out why this was happening they reformatted the hard drive. I can only expect this problem will happen again since there must be a software update, etc... that is causing this behavior. I honestly do not know how to voice my disgust in their customer service. I have been a long time fan of HP and we basically only buy HP at work but this was the poorest display of customer service I have ever encountered. If your TouchSmart application stops working and the TouchSmart software updates do not resolve the problem you might as well pretend like you bought a normal computer without touch capabilities. Like buying an iPhone without it behaving like an iPhone.

ITunes will not start up... Keeps giving Windows Error Message.... help!!

My Itunes will not start at all... When I try to start it I get a Windows Error Message saying below:
*iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.*
*In the Error Window The following is there...*
_AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 8.0.1.11 ModName: quicktime.qts_
_ModVer: 7.55.90.70 Offset: 00990007_
Can Anyone help me as I can’t use my ITUNEs and am Handicapped when it comes transferring ITEM on and OFF my IPHONE...
Thanks

That error suggests you may have a QUicktime problem rather than an iTunes problem.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them. They are bad news for Quicktime.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

AMDS will not start

I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes, ever since I can't connect my iPod Touch 8GB anymore.
Everytime I connect my iPod, a bar shows up: This iPod cannot be used, because AMDS is not started.
After a couple of days searching (I'm dutch speaking belgian, so english isn't that evident for me), and starting the AMDS in Windows Vista, start -> services -> AMDS -> start
A bar shows up again: The AMDS on Local Computer is started and stopped after that. Some services stop automaticcaly if they not be used by other services or programs.
After pressing the only choice of OK, I still can't connect my iPod.
I've reinstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour and apple Application Support a few times now and now i'm really losing my mind!! My iPod almost flow against the wall together with my pc. And not amusing when you first make al your playlist completely (2 days work), all my cd's, and wanted all on my iPod for leaving on a holiday,...
Now I'm back and tried every step agian, but still no connection possible.
Next step: iPod for sale???
Please can anyone help me?

I'm in the same boat. AMDS will not start(Error 1053), and because of this, I have no itunes at all, as the iTunes install fails when it can't start the service. Any suggestions?

Hi, ATPMolloy.
I certainly understand your frustration and will do my best to help. I see you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no change in results. I have attached an article below that specifically troubleshoots this issue that you are experiencing.
