PSE9 does not open – cannot initialize because program error?

Hello all,
I have Photoshop Elements 9 installed on my computer (MacBook Pro running Lion). However, I had not used it for a couple of months because I was using the CS6 beta, which finally expired. When I tried to open PSE9, the splash screen loads fine and finishes loading everything, but when it disappears I get a dialog of "Cannot open Photoshop Elements because of a program error."
This is while running on my main admin account. It opens normally on another admin account which I do not use often, except for some text encoding issues which were not present before.
I tried repairing permissions, but no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much.

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down CMD + alt/option + shift as you click Editor.
3. 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.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4: Remove tha TWAIN plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else if you have moved it in past.

Now launch PSE and check if it works.
Any further info and clear steps would help further if not sorted. Also just to be on safe side if you can edit your admin name with normal letters (and not any localized one like in german or french) amd then try.
Thanks,
Garry

CS6 Does not open file due to program error

I have been using CS6 for quite sometime with no much issues at all. All the sudden, today, without any changes being made in my computer (iMAC IOS 10.9) the software stopped opening files when I went FILE/OPEN and selecting the file to open (jpg).
CS6 opens "finder" and then quickly the finder window dissapears (so no time to make any selection,,this is not related to a type of file since...I can never get to even select one..) and the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error". The only option is to click OK and that is it....
I now need to go and open finder and then navigate through to the file and the right click and choose Open with CS6 (anf the file opens)....
Any ideas about this? like I said..nothing has been done (except the lates PS update a couple of days ago ver. 13.0
Thanks,

I tried reseting the Photoshop presets (which takes a lot of practice but
eventually got a "do you want to delete the Photoshop Presets" which I
did.... no changes with the behavior when trying to Open a location from
photoshop...
then I read about turning off Coverflow (but the only instructions I could
see were for Safari 4 ....and I'm running Safari 7".... anyway, is this
instruction supposed to be typed as one single instruction when accessing
Terminal ?
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView
-bool NO
everywhere I look it seems as two separate commands like this... but
I couldn't get Terminal to type in two different lines.... so I typed
it altogether.
defaults write com.apple.Safari
DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView -bool NO -
at any rate,,, the problem is still there....
Once again, upgrading the software is NOT always a good idea.... clearly
the Apple guys ......got some issues here....

Firefox does not open, but instead gives the error message, "Failed to read the configuration file." It has worked in the past, but not now.

I REINSTALL 10 TIMES SO DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!
I'm piss because i need firefox working again so i can finish reseaching my speech in 5 days.

Which files do you have in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
See also "Other solutions":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Downloaded Latest Itunes but now it does not open at all, with no error msg

I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes for my Laptop. I have recently moved my internet to my laptop so i have been updating software for the past two days.
However, when the download of Itunes is finish i can not open it. There is no error message at all, it just does not open, it just begins to load with the 'hourglass' waiting symbol and then stops. I can't open it at all.
I am runnin on Windows XP and had no previous trouble with the older version of iTunes. I am now regretting that i even updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Claudia.

I had exactl the same problem, it drove me crazy for about one week. Actually both 7.1.1 and any 6.x version didn't want to install on my PC.
7.1.1 just downloaded ok and than after running it terminated with no message and no action.
I tried almost everything: from manually removing all WinXP Registry entries to checking the entrire Win installation.
I also tried to download itunes from a different PC, but again same result.
Finally, I gave it a try to download iTunes from a different web site and... everything worked flawlessy!!
The only conclusion I came to is a possible issue between my network/firewall/ISP settings and Apple download services.. very hard to justify in real world but I can't think of anything else.
So my advice is to look for another web site hosting iTunes for donwload and give it a try!
Good luck
Diego

Adobe Premiere Pro CC does not open project - just hangs, no error message

I've just finished editing a project in PP CC, saved it, then tried to reopen it and the program shows a blank page, then hangs. I get no error message.
The project is based off a PP 5.5 timeline. It updates fine (and in fact I can open and convert the original timeline with no problem). However, once I close the new version and try to reopen, this symptom occurs.
I have updated my Creative Cloud software and it shows the Premiere Pro is up to date.
My computer is an ASUS laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro
i5 processor
8GB RAM
NVidea Geforce 610M+2GB graphics card
Need help as I have to have this project output and uploaded by 8am tomorrow.

This is a follow up to my original post and follow up. I've now seen this issue several more times and realize it was not an issue with my USB drive. It is an issue with the Dynamic Linking in Premiere. I consider this a MAJOR BUG, so please note what I've found if you have an issue with archiving or opening projects done with previous versions of PP.
The issue I've found is that Premiere seems to lock up trying to find dead media links. If you've archived a project or moved files from their original position, Premiere CC cannot seem to find them. The result is not a system hang up, but just a blank screen. In some cases, after leaving it for a couple hours it found the media and continued.
I've had a similar issue when trying to link 'dead' media with the actual files. The system goes off into neverland.
The work around I've found is to import the older jobs into a new Premiere CC project. At that point, replace any dead links (do NOT try and find the media as you'll be lost in hangupville) by importing the media again and replacing the clip in the sequence with the new import from the bin. Once all your media is 'live', remove any unused media from the project and confirm there are no 'dead' links (you can look at the media icon and notice a ? if they are not dynamically linked properly). Manually clear any remaining unlinked media. Save the project.
I have started to use Project Manager to archive all Premiere projects when moving them from one server to another.
This is a total pain in the @ss, and nothing I've seen before Creative Cloud. I hope that Adobe gets this resolved or I may consider dropping my subscriptions completely. That is a huge investment, but this type of issue is too much trouble to manage for a small production company.
I welcome any other thoughts, fixes, or comments.

Instance does not open, because of corrupted datafile

Hi
I am running 10gR2.
For a test I have corrupted the header of an test datafile of a non system tablespace when instance was closed.
Now when I started the instance it does not open with an alert entry
Errors in file c:\oracle\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\admin\orcl\bdump\orcl_dbw0_512.trc:

ORA-01110: data file 11: 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\DAMAGE_DATA.DBF'

Now how to proceed?
When I tried to set the tablespace offline I got:
SQL> alter tablespace damage_data_ts offline;
alter tablespace damage_data_ts offline
ERROR at line 1:

Can I just drop the datafile ?
I forgot to include, that the datafile is the only file the tablespace got.
But even the dropping the tablespace giving error, saying the database is not open
SQL> DROP TABLESPACE damage_data_ts INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;

Now I was able to drop the datafile with:

Boot camp does not open up on the windows side

I installed first windows 8.1 preview then reintalled the full pro version, but when I click bootcamp.exe it does not open up. The program however is running in the background. Would I need to redo the entire bootcamp process? Cuz I really want to use my function keys and trackpad like my mac os.

windows8.1 is not officially support at all in bootcamp
you have to manually install the drivers you want and not rely on the exe file to do the work for you or use windows8 or wait for official 8.1 support
