Runtime error in Elements 9, editor will not work

I have Windows Vista. The organizer seems to work fine.  But right after a photo opens in editor, a window appears saying:  Microsoft Visual C++,    Runtime Library.  It says Runtime Error!  Program....PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the applications support team for more information.
A couple days ago the computer shut down unexpectedly (my computer has been doing that alot in the last month, there was also a power outage due to a storm).  I tried restarting the computer, closing and restarting Elements, updating Elements (it did not need it) I also tried restoring the system to a restore point where Elements was working fine and that did not work. 
Would really appreciate any help.  Thanks so much.

Oh, great...an "unknown" faulting module!
There's not a lot to go on, so I can only offer a couple of general troubleshooting suggestions:
Re-set the Editor's Preferences by holding down your Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys when launching the Editor and keep them held down until you see the prompt asking if you want to delete the Preferences.  Answer "Yes" and they will be re-built.  You may have to minimize any open windows in order to see that prompt.
If you have manually enabled the TWAIN interface for scanning, see this Adobe document:

  • Elements 12 (Editor) will not open?

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 installed on my Windows 7 computer.
    I am no longer able to open the Editor portion of the program. The Organizer seems to be working but every time I try to switch to the Editor, I get the following error message.
    "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Close program.
    Thanking you in advance for any help regarding the above problem.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 Editor will not load

    all of a sudden elements 12 editor will not load.  It freezes when it says initializing panels.
    Any suggestions!!

    Start the editor from its .exe or application file or from the button in the organizer, while holding ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac).
    Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Help! My PSE8 Editor will not work!

    When I try to open it, the editor will not load and I get an error message when I attempt to open a previously saved document I did in photoshop. the message says that the editor will not work. I already tried the ctrl+alt+shift keys at startup.

    I am having the same issue. In my case the software was inside the new computer that i've purchased.It is a vaio with windows 7, 64bit.The organizer runs normally from the first time.When I tried to open the editor, appeared the license agreement on which you have to accept in order to continue. I clicked accept but absolutely nothing happened.Then I had to start task manager and close the program because it didn't respond.
    I also tried to restart my pc and re-do the whole process, but again nothing changes.Any ideas?

    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

  • Runtime Error causes Elements 11 editor to crash

    I've had this happen twice now over the last 10 days. After the first time, I removed the whole program & re-installed from the disc. Its now just happened again and editor will not load & I just get the Runtime Error! notification. As before, I can open Organiser but Editor will not either open directly or from within Organiser.

    Uninstall and reinstall.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 Editor will not open

    I'm running Windows Vista (Home Premium) on a Sony vaio laptop that exceeds (by a landslide) all of the requirements to operate Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.  The organizer opens just fine and functions properly.  When I try to open the editor (either through the organizer or by its self it states "launching" and does not open.  Instead within three to five seconds I get a small windows error window that pops up stating "Photoshop Elements Editor has stopped working" even though I can't even get the editor to open.  I've tried some of the support suggestions on the Adobe web site but clearly this is something else.  I've also removed and reinstalled the software twice with no changes.  I downloaded all of the windows updates as well.  PLEASE HELP!

    Re: Photoshop Elements 8 Editor
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    I found this in the Elements forum and it worked!!!!

  • Elements 12 editor will not open from Organizer

    Problem started about three weeks ago.
    When I am in Adobe elements organizer and try to bring a photo into adobe elements editor it will say that it is going to open up the editor for about a minute then it will never open the editor. It will do this no matter if I right click on the picture to edit, click the edit button at the bottom of the screen, or if I go to the context menu and click edit. The adobe editor will open and I can manually open a file into it form the adobe editor program but the the editor use to work just by right clicking on the picture and selecting edit. I have checked the preferences in organizer and adobe elements editor is the only one listed not external editor is checked.  I tried to add adobe elements editor as the external editor to see if I could get it too work that way but the program will not allow me to do that. I have also tried the ctrl - shift - alt and clear the settings and that solution does not work either. I have tried restarting the PC, uninstall and reinstall, and installed any or all updates to the program and OS. Why has this stopped working?

    Two suggestions:  the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements.  Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1.  I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.
