Screen glitches in Elements 7 on Win 8 computer

I recently installed Elements 7 on my new Win 8 computer.  I also downloaded a 7.03 patch from Adobe site.  When the program is launched, and then sitting idle, the mouse pointer jumps around on the screen, and the "working" blue circle appears also.  This happens constantly and consistently about every second.  I do not have this happen with any other program.
I was having similar issues with Elements and Win 7, and XP, and Win 98 for that matter.  Any insights appreciated!

Certainly not normal behavior for the application on it's own. Likely there is some sort of conflict, either with other software (possibly running hidden in the background) or with device drivers.
Two things:
1) Try running your system with all non-critical software disabled from the background (use msconfig to shut down all startup items and non-Microsoft process).
2) Make sure all device drivers are up to date, especially display (video card) and mouse. Visit the device's manufacturers web site to download, do not rely on Windows to automatically install these.

  • Why does my iPhone screen glitch up?

    My iPhone at times does this random thing where the screen glitches. My screen ends up looking a bit like the crystal have burnt with weird multi-coloured vertical lines all over my screen, making the iPhone unusable for 5 mins before returning to its normal self. Sometimes it fades out onto a black screen and every time this occurs, I have to reset my iPhone and it's back to normal.
    I'm unsure if it's coincidental, but many times this happens, I have either lost service or wifi/both. Also this tends to happen when I'm low on battery, just charging my phone or have just finished charging. This usually happens once a day or every 2-3 days sometimes.
    I've tried restoring my phone and all but it doesn't seem to have done anything.
    Does anyone know how to fix this or know what is happening?

    I forgot to mention. Usually after the glitch and when my iPhone returns to normal, the apps on the bottom row of the page (on all pages) all go to the next page e.g. if you have 3 full pages of apps pre glitch, after this glitch you will have 6, 3 containg 4 rows of apps and another 3 pages containg 1 row. I don't know if this gives an indication to the root of the problem.

  • How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

    How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
    It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

    I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
    Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

  • Green Screen and Photoshop Elements 11?

    Hi. I have tried multiple ways to remove the green screen in photoshop elements.  Being new to this program, I've found ways it was done in previous versions that don't appear to be in 11. The MagicWand doesn't get it all out (gotta love hair with green in between ).  Is there an easy way to be able to put a digital background on?
    Thanks!!

    It appears I wasn't told the truth today by Adobe when I chatted with their rep on-line. I specifically asked "if Photoshop Elements 11 did Green Screen" and I was told "Yes". They even show it on the packaged version as I saw it in Fry's this morning. But there is no mention of this in the 'features' section on their website. Someone is playing games.
    I  then purposely purchased an upgrade to my version 10 to 11 to do green screens and feel I've now wasted $85.
    I was wondering why Green Screen Wizard was selling a plug-in for PS Elements 11 if Adobe already had it in there. I guess I know the answer to that one also.

  • How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?

    How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?  From what I can tell, I can't see a photo full screen in iphoto. I need full screen!

    A file with a .PSA extension is most probably a catalog file from an older version of Elements (up to PSE5). To be able to use it with a newer version (including PSE12), you'll have to convert the catalog to the new format. In the organizer, open the 'File' menu, select the catalog manager (shift Ctrl C) and click the convert button, browse to the .psa file. Your catalog will be converted to the new format.

  • So does Photoshop elements 13 require Win 7 or will it work with XP64 bit

    So does Photoshop Elements 13 require Win 7 or will it work with XP64 bit

    R_Kelly
    I looked at hamrick.com again and it seems to skip over the LS4500AF scanner. I queried him a few years ago and he indicated that the LS4500AF was an odd scanner needing a odd driver. It is SCSI also which in itself is another step. I would pay someone to rewrite the 32 bit driver but it would be more cost effective to keep a XP32 bit machine for the LS4500AF which I will probably do. I have been using XP64 bit for 10+ years and am really keen on it but with PSE 13 going to Win7 I will have to also.
    It takes me 3 or more months to get back to get my quality back up each time I change any hardware or software like an OS,  editor or computer. Fortunately my computer is good so I will not have to change it. And Summer is coming and that is my slow season time so aside from the several $s I should be fine come Fall.

  • 13" MBP Screen glitches and computer freezes when I hold it wrong...

    Sorry for the newbie question. I just got my MBP and ordered the Kingston 8gb deal on buy.com last week. After install I noticed if I pick up the computer and hold it on the right hand side almost underneath the option button, the screen glitches and turns into a bunch of colored lines then crashes. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off then restart. I kind of feel a little bit of give at that area...is that a known issue or does it have anything to do with the new 3rd party ram? Please help!

  • Migrating from PS Elements 6.0 (WIN) to LR (MAC)

    Hello all...tried searching the forums for advice on migrating my PS Elements 6.0 (WIN) library to LR (MAC). No success. Hoping that someone here can offer advice on how to successfully make the move. My PS Elements library is fully organized into albums, lots of keyword too.
    Any advice on how t make this the move with as little pain as possible will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Buy 2.0 when it comes out. 1.x came out before Elements 6 and so doesn't support migration. 2.0 will, but only on Windows. So you'll need to migrate it on Windows then move it to mac.

  • Ps elements 6 on win 7 - ipad2 user doesn't see albums/collections but different iphone4 user on same pc does

    We initially had an iPhone4 and set up iTunes to synch specific collections from ps elements 6 on win 7 pc
    No problem in iTunes detecting the collection and synching to the iPhone
    Then we got a ipad2 used by a different user on the pc
    When using iTunes for 2nd user ps elements does not show up for synch - 0 photos, and no collections listed

    When you upload photos, what is the Folder location to which you store those photos?
    The default location for the Catalog in XP is under the All Users folder structure of Documents and Settings - so I think that it would be available to both User 1 and User 2.
    However, I think that the default location for photos that are transferred from your camera or your camera card to your PC using Photoshop Elements and the Adobe downloader is under the My Documents\My Pictures folder structure of the current Windows User. That might be what you are experiencing.
    Also, do you log off the User1 Windows ID after you upload those photos and before your wife logs on with User2?
    I don't access my catalogs from multiple Windows users, but if no one else responds who is doing this with PSE 5 then I might be able to test something for you.

  • Photoshop Elements 12.0 WIN AOO License I (65,224,943)

    I bought in 2014 the license for Photoshop Elements 12.0 WIN AOO License I (65,224,943). They failed, however, to find and download Photoshop Elements 12.0, nor can I apply the instructions published in Adobe "Silently install (deploy) Adobe Premiere Elements on Windows with an Adobe volume license (AVL) and allow for offline activation.". How do? Thank You.

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 settings
    opera preferences (if found)
    and any lockfiles with the same names
    That library is hidden in 10.7. To see it, in the Finder click the Go menu and hold down the option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account.
    While you're in that library, go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything for PSE.
    Repair permissions and try again.

  • Iphone5 screen glitch after update to iOS 8.1.1

    my iphone screen glitch after updating to iOS 8.1.1.

    You need to be patient. There is no need to post again within minutes of the first post. Try force closing the App Store app and then reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
