PSE8 Organize - Directx could not be initialized - can't get to resolve

I'm using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 8 (hoping to buy if I can ensure functionality with my system). The edit functions appear to work, though I've only tried a few. When I click on the Organize tab I get the same error message
"Directx could not be initialized. Please be sure that it is installed on your computer. You can download the latest DirectX installer from:
www.microsoft.com/directx "
and then when I click OK, the organize window closes.
There are millions of options on the Microsoft site so perhaps I have not chosen the correct one, but I did download DirectX SDK but continue to get the same error. Please help.

Could you try downloading the codecs from the site - http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectX.htm
Please also try reinstalling the application if this does not solve your problem.

Using Windows 8.1 with Directx11, when I lauch Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer, I see the error message "DirectX could not be initialized. Please be sure that it is installed on your system. You can download the latest DirectX installer from:[URL] I have the latest version, Directx11, as verified by running dxdiag.

Maybe you need to enable Direct Play under Legacy Components in the Turn Windows Features on or off dialog.
1. Right click on the windows start Logo on the taskbar, select Control Panel and click on Programs
2. Under Programs and Features click on Turn Windows Features on or off and then under Legacy Components enable Direct Play

Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer wont open "DirectX is installed but could not be initialized. Reboot your system and relaunch Organizer"

All of a sudden, I go to open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and get this message in a box:
"DirectX is installed, but could not be initialized. Please reboot your system and relaunch Organizer."
Using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Office 2010 Home and Student on a Dell T3500 workstation with 3.20Ghz Xeon Processor, 12 GB Ram and a 2GB EVGA 650ti Boost graphics card.
The only thing I can think of since the last time I used PSE10 Organizer was the October, 2014 Windows updates were installed.
Any ideas anyone, Adobe seems fairly silent on this issue, and there is not much info out there on this for a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system.
Please help.

All Windows OS updates installed, all Norton Internet Security updated daily.
Went to Microsoft to try downloading DirectX just in case that was the problem, and they say you already have the newest version.
Still receive the same message. I'm at a loss, not sure what to do.

'Hi, On opening organiser on Elements 12, I get " Online services could not be initialized. Please reinstall. Press ok to continue without online services" And I can't open Editor. Where do I go to to reinstall and how??

What computer operating system are you using? If Windows go to:
C:\Users\99jon\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Online Services
Inside the Online Services folder delete the Photoshop Elements 12.0.0 folder.
Re-launch Organizer and OLS should get recreated.
N.B substitute your user name for 99jon. If you can’t find AppData you may first need to enable the showing of hidden system files.
Follow these steps to display hidden files and folders.
Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.

I am getting an error when opening the organizer saying online services could not be initialized?

I just installed photoshop elements 11 on my Mac and am receiving an error when opening the organizer. It is stating that online services could not be initialized and that I need to reinstall. I tried that and it is still coming up. What do I do?

How did you uninstall it?

Running PSE 11 on Mac 10.8.3 but get Online Services could not be initialized, please reinstall.

Running PSE 11 on Mac 10.8.3 but get Online Services could not be initialized, please reinstall. Have reinstalled but get same message. Organizer WILL open but I'm wondering what I can do to fix this?

Where are you getting this message? In the organizer, the editor, or the welcome screen? If in the organizer, try going to the preferences>partner services and clicking the Refresh button.
If from the welcome screen, launch the editor from the applications folder and make a dock icon for that, and skip the welcome entirely. The visible file in applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 is not the editor. You want this one:
The one at the top level is an alias for the welcome screen, which is best avoided.

?Error message when opening PE11. (online services could not be initialized. Please reinstall)

When opening PE 11, error message : online services could not be initialized. Please reinstall appears. Reinstalls does not fix problem. What do I do next?

You should be able to launch without ols. Can you try directly from the application in the following location:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
Double click on:
PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
Let us know if that works.
If not, try downloading the missing file from the following link (it says PSE10 but should work) and unzip the folder to extract the file and drag it into the assets folder.

If that doesn’t work I would suggest uninstalling via the control panel and installing from a fresh download. You can download the free trial from this link and then validate with your serial number.

Run the cleaner, reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
And don't bother with running any updates unless you really need them or they fix a critical issue relevant to your workflow.

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
