Trying to reinstall old version of Photoshop Elements from a disk

Photoshop Elements disappeared from my computer and when I tried to reinstall from the disk, I am not having any luck getting it to work. I am using an older version of Elements made for Windows XP, ME, 2000, 98, NT 4.0 and OS 8.6 to 9.x. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

What operating system are you using?
Was it working before it "Disappeared"?
Sounds like photoshop elements 1 (one)?
What happens when you try to install it?
Your sure photoshop elements is really gone?
Have you looked in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe
for a folder called Photoshop Elements

I am trying to reinstall an old version of photoshop elements from a backup drive.

My computer died and I am trying to install an older version of photoshop elements from a backup drive on a new computer. I get the following error message " Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information. Help?

Just after double clicking or single clicking on the pse 2 shortcut hold down the Alt+Ctrl keys and keep holding the keys until you get a
Scratch Disk Preferences dialog and point the scratch disk to your portable hard drive and maybe that will work.

Do not know about 5, but, just installed PE 6 on I7 64 bit and it works.

I have an old version Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 that I have used on an old computer with Windows XP.

Does this old version works under Windows 8?

Thanks for your answer. I will try that

Did you set Internet Explorer as the default browser? If not the set it as the default. Check to see if you can do custom install

Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your replies and insights!

Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
Again, thanks for your reply and input!
Sincerely,
Clyde [email protected]

The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.
Cheers,
Neale

Deleting old versions of PhotoShop Elements

Jeez, all kinds of hoops to jump through just to get one stupid question answered.
I just installed PhotoShop Elements 12. Is it safe to delete my old version, PhotoShop Elements 8, from my hard drive?
P.S. Does anyone know why I had to submit my birthday to join the forum? With the latest security breaches on the Adobe site, giving out such personal information is dangerous. I guess Adobe doesn't really care about our security.

No, that's not true, although you might get asked for a serial number from the old version on reinstall. However, if you're using windows, you might want to read through this, about the features missing from PSE 12:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1302663?tstart=0
Many of them can be reinstalled from your older version. (Macs are missing the same features, but since the mac version is now 64 bits, reinstalling old bits doesn't work.)

Download old Versions of Photoshop Elements (Version 5 for Mac)

Hi,
a long time ago I got Photoshop Elements 5 free with my Webhosting account.
I still have the Serial Number but lost the CD. Is there any way, I can download
Photoshop Elements 5 preferably for Mac? All I can find is the new release.
Thanks,
oecherprinte

OK. Good to know.
I also have old Windows CDs of Versions 2 and 3. Is there any chance of
a Mac Version where these old keys will work. Otherwise I have to use parallels.
Thanks

Reinstall previous version of Photoshop Elements

How can I reinstall Photoshop Elements 10 after upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 8.1?

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

I am trying to reinstall a version of Photoshop 7 that I purchased back in 2003.

Hi,
The registration screen is not accepting my serial number.
I cannot afford a newer version of Photoshop (I have Indesign and Illustrator as well) and do not want to subscribe to the creative cloud. I had an online chat with a representative and he said that he could not help me, nor could I call for help. I had to rely on the Adobe forums......
In ALL honesty, if I cannot reinstall programs which I bought a long time ago, it's SUPER easy for me to just get a pirated copy. I do not want to do this but I also think it's ridiculous that I cannot reinstall my programs just because they are dated.

you can try ps cs2, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
but if you have a mac, that may not work.

Photoshop Elements Help | Install Photoshop Elements from a disk

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html

When I start Photoshop Elements 11, I get a dialog with Organizer on the left and Photo Editor on the right. What happens when you click Photo Editor? It might take a few moments, but it should open the editor.
Another idea: Right click (control-click on Mac) on an image file and say Open With > Photoshop Elements
Hope this helps,

Have upgraded computer from windows me to win 8 and tried to install an old version of photoshop elements. It starts but ends with an error that I must have internet explorer 4.0 or greater. What do I need to do?

Can anyone help?

First we need to know how much free space your windows 8 hard drive has.
Do you still have access to the computer with Windows ME?
