Trial Version of Elements 8 shuts off

I have downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements 8 and have started to put my photos into catagories, but now after a minute or so the program shuts down with no warning.
Does this sound like an issue with the trial version or maybe a problem with my system?
Running windows XP with SP3.

To make sure we're talking about the same thing, let's clarify terminology: PSE calls a "catalog" the database file that tracks your entire collection of photos. While it is possible to have more than one catalog, most people have just one, and it sounds like you have just one.   PSE lets you organize your keyword tags into keyword categories and subcategories, using the Keyword Tags pane.  It doesn't sound like you've started tagging your photos.
It sounds like you've started using Display > Folder Location view to reorganize the folders containing your photos, and you are creating subfolders for different logical categories of your photos. 
PSE isn't designed to organize your photos by folder, and in fact, it's pretty bad at doing so -- if that's what you really want to do, you'd be better off with a different program.  PSE is designed to organize using keyword tags, albums, stacks, version sets, dates/times, captions, notes, star rating, map location, and camera.  Those of us with large numbers of photos generally just dump them into any old convenient set of subfolders (e.g. one folder per day) and then never pay attention to the folder organization again.
With respect to the crashes of PSE, unfortunately, there could be one of many different causes.   See this FAQ for how to troubleshoot; the first step may well be the cause of your problems (but it may not):

  • Trial version of Elements 13 won't recognise my printer. Anyone else had this problem?

    I'm running a trial version of Elements 13 and cannot print either a PSD file or JPG file. I get an error message that it does not recognise the default printer. I'm able to print emails and Word documents, so it is undoubtedly an Elements issue.

    Hello,
    Sorry for the inconvenience  caused. This issue has been fixed in Elements 13.1. Please try updating your application to free 13.1 update.
    You may refer to this article for the same: Photoshop Elements Help | Printer errors with Photoshop Elements 13
    Let me know if you are still facing this issue.

  • Trial Version of elements 13 running on latest IMac 27 inch.  Move the mouse and it is time out.  Doesn't matter where on the window the mouse is. The program does not respond quickly at all. Takes ages to do anything with it.  Any suggestions?

    I am running a trial version of Elements 13 on the latest IMac 27 inch.  Any move of the mouse and it is time out.  Doesn't matter if the mouse is trying to do an edit or just moving across the window.  The program does not respond very well at all.  I am wondering now if I should bother purchasing the program. 

    How much ram do you have? Did you recently import a bunch of photos into the organizer? PSE will be slow till it's through cataloguing them, which can take some time for large number of images.

  • TRIAL VERSION OF ELEMENTS 13

    I have "downloaded" a trial version of Elements 13. A window headed ADOBE DOWNLOAD ASSISTANT comes up and after sometime when the blue progress bar reaches the end a message "download completed" is displayed under the blue progress bar. This window stays displayed on the screen and nothing further happens. I have left the window open for over an hour. Please help.

    I don't know what is causing your issue.  (I also don't know your operating system.)
    Try downloading & running the offline installer from http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • Use trial version of elements 9 with elements 8 installed

    I have Premiere Elements 8 installed. It hangs after a Peak file is created. It does this everytime, in three different computers and in both XP and Windows 7! I am able to run Elements 8 for about 3 to 3 1/2 minutes before it hangs.
    I would like to try Premiere Elements 9 to see if that solves the problem. If I download the trial version of 9 and it still has the same problem, can I delete the trial version and still be able to use Elements 8 in my severely restricted manner?

    I installed trial version on Elements 8 and
    I don't want it but can't get rid of it. It still fills my hard drive
    .How can I completely delete it. It no longer shows in programs
    , but tons of it remain in my hard drive.

  • What program to use to open a trial version of Elements 11

    I am being asked 'How do you want to open this file'? when I tried to open the trial version of Elements 11 for the first time. Options included 'Look for an App'; Adobe Reader; Internet explorer; Notepad; Paint; Windows Media Player; Windows Photoviewer; Word or Wordpad? Which is the best option please? Thanks

    Not sure what you are saying. The actual program is a 7z file which can be opened with any packer program these days like the original 7zip of course but also WinZip and others. If you're referriung to the download assistant, then that is a normal executable, but it requires Flash Player and Adobe AIR to be installed properly on the system.

  • I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9.  When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work.  Any suggestions.  I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.

    To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

  • Does the trial version of Elements disable some edits?

    When I resized a photo in the trial version of Adobe Elements, the edits were not maintained when the photo was emailed and opened by someone else. Went step by step through the resizing process with someone who uses Photoshop for that and believe I did all the right things. Could the fact that my program is a free trial have anything to do with the resize edits not being maintained?

    Thank you for your reply. The trial-version of Elements- edited photo also does
    not maintain resizing when opened in other programs on my computer such as
    Paint, but the photo edited by my daughter in PS does. She and I went through it
    step by step and did the same things as far as we can tell. Any ideas?
