PSE9 Organizer launches then immediately closes!

I have a Dell XPS 610i with 500GB hard drives (Raid 1, mirror images) and am running Windows XP. I had been having lots of issues with it so I backed everything up and just reset it back to factory delivery conditions. I reloaded all my non photo files and got everything working well (Outlook, Word, iTunes, etc), then decided it was time to load PSE9/PE9 and reload my 250GB+ of photos.
PSE9 launched fine the first time, so I loaded my 2011 photos (7,500 files, 44.6GB) and imported them into a brand spanking new catalog. All went well. I changed the view to folder view and then closed PSE9. I installed a few more Windows updates and rebooted my machine. I launched PSE9, got to the splash screen and launched the Organizer. It launched properly then IMMEDIATELY closed. I tried a few more times, installed a needed update to Adobe Reader 9, rebooted my computer and the same thing happened when I launched PSE9 from the splash screen.
I did a little research on the web and tried launching the Editor from the splash screen (which worked fine), then launched the Organizer from the Editor. That worked! So I can only launch the Organizer from the Editor which is kind of a pain since I don't really need both work spaces open. When I close the Editor, the Organizer stays open and works fine.
Since I take lots of photos and and JPGs are rather large, I plan to create multiple catalogs (one for each year). I just created a new catalog and am now importing my 2010 photos (8,500 files, 48.5GB), but before I load the rest of my photos, how can I fix this bug that prohibits me from successfully launching the Organizer without opening the Editor first?

Try making a direct desktop icon for the Organizer and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files.
Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails)
Select it and click OK
Click next
Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
Then click finish
You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application (.exe file which has the blue PSE icon). As before take out Photoshop Elements just leaving the description Editor and it will show up clearly on the desktop.

APPS ON THE ipAD mINI OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. i'VE TRIED REBOOTING BUT STILL HAVE SAME RESULT

APPS ON THE iPAD MINI BRIEFLY APPEAR TO OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. already TRIED REBOOT BUT SAME ISSUE.

Have you tried a reset? Hold down Home and On/Off buttons, ignoring slider until you see the Apple logo. Then release the buttons. The device will reset--you will lose no data. Please don't shout--using all caps is not only rude but it is hard to read.

When I open Photoshop CC, it opens for a second then immediately closes. How can I rectify this.

When I open Photoshop CC, it opens for a second then imediatly closes. How can I fectify this?

Michaelrutland do you receive any specific error messages? Did Photoshop CC work previously? Also which operating system are you using? Finally I would recommend reviewing your installation log files for errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

Android AIR does not launch - app opens then immediately closes

I have created a very simple app using Flash - AIR for Android extension. I have confirmed that my Droid2 device is connected via the DDMS through the Android SDK, and have published the app to the device following the instructions here: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/devices/pdfs/device_lab1.pdf. When published, the APK was packaged successfully, but get the following warning:
Application has not specified its permission requirements in application.xml. This thread touches on it http://forums.adobe.com/thread/740905, but doesn't say whether to fix it, or what persmissions are necessary.
On the phone I can navigate to the app, however when I tap the app icon, the app closes as soon as it opens.
Any thoughts on what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks for any help!

To test AIR runtime is working on my device/phone, I downloaded an Adobe AIR app from the Adobe Showcase, and discovered this app does not launch either, so I suspect the Adobe AIR application on my device/phone is not working.

After 10.4.4, Safari launches, then immediately crashes.

After downloading 10.4.4, Safari launches every time, but then crashes after only a few seconds. It does this every time. Could Safari be having a problem with the Apple site?
(To post this, I'm using an alternate startup disk with OS-X 10.4 and Safari 2.0). I'd be grateful for any and all suggestions to fix this. Thanks!

I have a similar problem - cannot use Safari at all as it immediately crashes. I tried removing the plist file - no luck. I am using Firefox exclusively now until someone comes us with a fix. I'm not sure where I can get another copy of Safari. I tried to open my OSX installer disk but it would not let me in since I have upgraded from 10.4.3 to 10.4.5 via the software updater.

Mail opens then immediately closes

I am able to open my mail, it then updates, and about 5 seconds later just closes and goes back to the home screen. I have tried powering off/on but it keeps doing this. Any suggestions for why this is happening and how to fix it?
Everything else is working just fine.
Thanks!

I'm suffering from this problem, but I'm not sure what you mean by this: "remove all of the folders under your inbox and move them to the top level mailbox. Do this in Outlook. See if the app still crashes after the move."
I have years of email organized into folders (Security policy won't let me make PSTs) are you saying I have to toss all that organization away in order to fix this issue? Or do I just delete the emails? Why doesn't it just work? Isn't that why we love apple?

CD/DVD Drive Opens and then Immediately Closes!

Hi,
Everytime I press the EJECT button on my keyboard, the drive opens and then closes immediately afterwards, not giving me time to put in a disc. This seems to happen when my computer has been on for a couple of hours, and it corrects itself (stays open) when i log off and log back in.
I went to the Apple Store, (yes I dragged the huge machine across a mall!), and the Genius told me that the problem might be the eject button on the keyboard. So, I swapped keyboards and the problem still existed.
Does this problem have anything to do with me installing Leopard? I didn't notice this problem when I was running Tiger.
Is this an Optical Drive problem??? And if yes, how would I go about fixing it?
Thanks!

I have it to put the computer to sleep when it's inactive fore 1hr, and put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for 20 min... and I also put a check next to putting the hard disk asleep when possible.

IChat opens, then immediately closes

I have been having a recent problem with iChat. Just the other day, it no longer opens. I'll open the program, the icon will bounce in the dock, it logs in, makes the sound, the buddy list appears, and then the whole thing just closes down.
Has anyone had this problem before? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks much,
DAVE
**I'm on a MacBookPro running 10.4.11, and am using iChat 3.1.9

Start with just Reinstalling the Application and run the Combo Version of the latest Update to your version of the OS.
(this List) At Tiger make sure you get the version for your type of Processor.

Adobe Premiere begins to open and then immediately closes.

I installed Adobe Premiere CS6 through Creative Cloud. Everytime I attempt to open the program, it begins to loads and as soon as the program opens it closes. I have a brand new HP Pavillion dv7 w/ a Quad core processor, 8 GB of Ram, & an AMD Radeon 6790 graphics card w/ 2GB DDR5. I have already followeed the troubleshooting directions of turning of the switchable graphics card and setting adobe premiere to the High Performance Graphics Card. What in the world is going on?

Sometimes a plug-in can cause this behavior. Each crash puts the offending plug-in on a black list, so they don't get loaded next time. It may take a few tries to get past all the problem plug-ins, so give that a go.

5.0 won't work - extensions message is "localized string not found". When I force it to try to load a new window it shows a gray screen with the bookmarks on top then immediately closes and wants to report the error. Has been this way since 5.0 came out.

I first tried downloading Safari when the 5.0 update came out last year. When I choose the app in the dock, I get the blue top bar (Safari, File, etc) but nothing else loads. I uninstalled the app and tried again several times, but no success. For over a year now I've used Firefox as a result. Today I thought I'd try again, but same results. When I choose "new window" in the file menu, I get a small gray window with my bookmarks on top, then in a few seconds, the app quits unexpectedly and the report an error screen appears. I've unchecked all the languages in the information area for the app, cleared all history, cookies, and cache. Still the extensions tab in the preferences area has "LOCALIZED STRING NOT FOUND" in 4 places. It won't show what that means when I click the "?". Will I ever be able to use Safari again?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
-> Profile in use
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use]
Check and tell if its working.

Firefox 4 on Windows Vista loads java applet for my MOO site then immediately closes Java Console, dumping me from the site, so I have had to go back to Firefox 3.6.17 which works fine

I have 32-bit Vista Business, with Firefox as my default browser. I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 and found that I can no longer access my VRoma MOO, which uses a Java applet to connect. I can connect to the site, but within 30 seconds the Java Console closes by itself (without my having done anything) and dumps me from the MOO. Following suggestions on this website, I uninstalled two earlier versions of Java which were on my computer and downloaded Java 6.0.25, the latest version. I also disabled previous Java Console extensions in the browser. None of this helped. I can stay connected with IE, and I can stay connected with Firefox 3.6.17, which I have had to install again. This is disturbing, because VRoma has many student users and I don't want them to encounter this problem if they are using Firefox 4.

Hello Andrew.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

On 27th and 28th marchb2013 , I pad calendar, (showing March), opens then immediately closes. I cannot get into thebCalendar to change anything, (previous bug involved having all-da events on April 1st. How to fix this bug?

Does anyone know how to fix this bug?

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards

Lightroom launches then immediately hangs

Lightroom 3 succesfully loaded and succesfully used for past couple of wmonths. When launched last week the library page appeared just as I had left it but suddenly went'semi-transparent' and the machine hung. The error message was " Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working and windows is checking for a solution to the problem" No such solution is forthcoming. Have loaded version 3.2 with the same result. Loaded L3 onto my laptop and run in 32 bit and it works perfectly. Only software that might have been loaded between sessions was a HP printer driver which has since been uninstalled. Assistance very much appreciated. Aldso had initial problems with Adobe Premiere on the same computer but in those instances the programme could be re-starteed after re-booting the machine. That problem has now gone away.

Hi Dorin,
Thanks for response. Pref files deleted: still hangs. Created 2nd. catalog as you suggest but still hangs when that opened. Cannot now get opportunity to create another catalog via Ctrl+open software. Any other ideas? Should I just try and get a copy of lightroom 2?
Regards,
Keith
