Right click Open With sometimes not working (Photoshop Elements 9, Windows Vista)

We recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 7 to Photoshop Elements 9. We are running Windows Vista.
Last night, my wife was right clicking on JPEG images in her My Pictures subfolders and choosing "Open With" to open the files with Photoshop Elements. In some cases, this worked. In other cases she would right click the file, Adobe Photoshop Elements would start, but the picture itself would not display.
I tested one of these pictures and was able to open it with other applications, and was able to open it by choosing "Open" from Photoshop Elements' file menu.
Has anyone run into this before? Why are some pictures not opening when you right-click and use "Open With"?

Hi,
you can make PSE9 default program for opening any image on you vista machine.
Then it souhld work fine.
cheers,
Sam

  • Lost start menu icons and not listed in right click open with option +more.

    Weird. I need help. Quicktime 7.3.0.70 only--Start menu lost it's icons in the quicktime folder. When right clicking video files, the "open with" option no longer displays quicktime as a program. And lastly, open an avi file or even mpg and the program stops responding without even getting to play the file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but can't seem to fix these issues. Can anyone help? Thanks. This just seemed to happen out of the blue.

    I also have lost the icons for Quicktime in my start menu under Windows XP. The icons actually work when you do click them but the icons are not loaded. Everything functions fine and it's the newest version of Quicktime installed. I also have the newest version of iTunes installed. I ended up manually adding my own icons on the start menu as I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime several times to no avail and even attempted to flush the windows icon cache. No go. This just started happening recently.
    It's not happening on my WinXP Pro laptop however, although I've yet to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes+Quicktime.
    *Right-Click Open With Menu still functions properly and the icon image is appearing correctly in that menu.

  • Mac Spotlight Results: Right Click/Open With/Reveal in Finder?

    Hi,
    As many others, I am a heavy Spotlight user/searcher. I tried quite a bit around, but I seem not to be able to "right click" open with on the Spotlight search results (Spotlight used from the menubar). I can open search results, but that is most of the time not what I wish to do. More commonly, I would like to "Reveal in Finder" or "Open with" (i.e., opening a PDF in Photoshop or Acrobat, not Preview, depends on what needs to be done with it...).
    How can I get "right click" on search results enabled? Is there any way to enabled that? If not, how is your workflow to a) find files + b) do something else with them then open with default app?
    Thank you for your thoughts!
    (p.s. I know that I have the right click option if searching from a Finder window rather than then searching from the menubar, and that I can get the menubar Spotlight open as a Finder Spotlight search result set... however, the results in the Finder menubar are different, and much better, then the what is presented in Finder... so it would be much better to have the right click there)

    Thank you, that really helps!
    I tried Command + double click and that is exactly what I needed... you can "open with" from Finder then in a second step (one step more then would be logically required, I do hope Apple simply enables right clicks in search results in the next release)

  • Stacks ( No RIGHT-CLICK, Open with )?

    While I do like STACKS for my DOWNLOADS, I have not been able to figure out how to ( Right-Click, Open with ) on files it displays. It there a key sequence I am missing or is the functionality just not there.
    Opening the folder is a extra step just to ( Open with -> ) that is unnecessary.
    -Bruce-

    The functionality just not there. It can't be so hard to Open in Finder. If there are a lot of files you have to open with the same app but aren't saved as so (for example Word files to open with Pages) you can make all files with the same ending open with a specific app. Right click on the file, go to Get Info and under the Open With tab you can select an app to open with. Click Change All to change all.

    The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server.<br />
    You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
    You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

  • I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

    The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
    You can also create an Automator Service:
    Open Automator
    Select: Service
    Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
    and:
    Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

  • "Open With"  CS3 not working for JPEG file

    Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
    I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
    ...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
    ..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
    The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
    I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    After a long search I found the answer:
    To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
    Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
    Click the file Types Tab.
    Wait for the list of file types to populate.
    Single click on the jpeg file type.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Highlight open and click the edit button.
    Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
    A few OK's and you are done.
    AND ANOTHER THING .........
    After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
    Start / My Computer
    Click Tools at the top of the screen.
    Click folder options .... then the file types tab
    Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
    Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
    A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
    A couple of OKs and you are done

  • Right click on Magic Mouse not working

    Hi
    I am having this right click problem with my magic mouse.  The right click function just suddenly stopped working two days ago.
    I have checked the Mouse>Preference> Secondary click is enabled to "Right"
    However, when I changed the secondary click to "Left", the "right click" function works perfectly fine w/ the left click, but when I change it back to "Right" nothing happens.  I even tried unchecking the secondary click function (someone said that will work in another support site) but that doesn't help either.
    I have tried removing batteries from my mouse, turning it off, turning bluetooth off, restarting the laptop...
    Very confused right now.  Please help!!

    The post is a month old now, but I did stumble upon it after I suddenly lost my "Magic Mouse" right click functionality.  Just as posted my; Mouse>Preference> Secondary click was enabled to "Right", though it would not work...
    I tried everything including; restart iMac, enable and disable "Secondary Click", disconnecting the Mouse bluetooth and reconnecting it using my Magic Trackpad, etc.... until this ended up being my solution:
    I went into System Preferences, Mouse>Preference> and disabled "Secondary click".  Then restarted the system.  Then returned to System Preferences, Mouse>Preference> and re-enabled Secondary Click.  That worked and was my solution and has been working fine since yesterday.
    I hope this helps anyone who encounters the same as we have.

  • Right -click "Open With" shows old Illustrator 10, not newer CS3

    At work we have Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS3. Due to a large archive of graphics we keep an older version of Illustrator 10.0 for files that just don't open in CS.
    I'm on a new machine with more memory so I want to give this Bridge a chance. But I just found it totally useless for Illustrator.
    The first day I used it I went to open a PDF in Illustrator, so in Bridge I right click and go to open with to only find Illustrator 10 and Photoshop CS3 listed. No Illustrator CS3. Nor any option to browse and choose a different app.
    I went through file associations, and changed all associations with 10 to CS3, but that doesn't solve how to open PDFs in Illustrator CS3 from Bridge without changing its default app from Acrobat.
    Here's what I mean:
    http://premium1.uploadit.org/TimothyB/bridge.jpg
    No where is there an option to tell CS3 Bridge to see Illustrator CS3 instead of version 10. I imagine this might be due to the order the techs installed Illustrator? I hope this doesn't mean I need a tech to mess with my computer to reinstall everything until it shows up as CS3 instead of 10, there are already so many problems that can happen from having two versions installed.

    In XP Pro, not there to be 100% sure, that "open with" already has Illustrator CS3 listed and no version 10, the opposite of what Bridge shows.
    I'll try it, just in case that helps update Bridge.
    Thanks

  • Open with menu not showing photoshop

    Using Bridge CC when I right click on picture to show open with menu it wont show Photoshop cc 2014. How do I fix that?

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Why can't we add programs to the list of right-click "open with" in Bridge?

    I've followed various discussions and can find no official solution, nor any easy-to-follow solution for this issue.
    What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.
    Am I missing something here?
    also, I was fairly convinced that I could do this the last time I used bridge, last week, and now I can't.
    I have used the "update cloud" today.

    What is the point of having bridge if we are unable to right click from bridge and open any image in any of the CC programs.
    Am I missing something here?
    Maybe you can specify a bit more of your problem?
    In basic, having a correct install automatically adds all CC applications to the list above the line and most of the non adobe applications under the line.
    You can add a new default using Bridge Preferences File type associations and if this is not in the list at the bottom of the pop up menu is a browse button to search your disk.
    But you simple can't open any image in any Adobe application because not all adobe CC apps support all file types or can't even view images.
    The Open Width list also varies per file type. For instance a Raw or DNG file gives you only the CC - applications with a Raw converter and that narrows it down to PS.
    A .mov file only provides After Effects and Premiere Pro etc etc.
    And you have to option to place all kinds of files in ID, AI, Ps etc. using the right mouse click menu.
    If your behavior differs then first start refreshing preferences as a start.

  • Watching dvds with vlc-no right-click 'open with vlc' option as on the pc?

    i searched discussions for this question but wasn't sucessful ... so here's my question:
    i use a toshiba pc laptop and an iMac G5 ... in order to watch dvds (with different region codes) on my PC, I use VLC with great success ... I wanted to do the same on my iMac, but came across the following problem:
    when I want to watch a DVD on the laptop, i simply right-click the title and go for 'open with VLC' (which gives me the menu and so on) ... when I try to do this on the iMac, however, there is no
    'open with VLC' option when I right-click the DVD ... I can open single chapters of the DVD by opening the single .vob files, but I'm not happy with doing that ...
    any ideas how to make watching DVDs with VLC on my iMac as easy as it is on my laptop?
    thanx for your help!

    If you want all video DVDs to open in VLC, go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs>When you insert a video DVD:>Open other application> and now select VLC.
    This will open VLC, but the DVD will not automatically play, you have to go to File>Open Disc once in VLC.
    One question though, why not use Apple's DVD player Application?
