Unable to open my Photoshop Elements from desktop icon.

Unable to access my desktop icon for Photoshop Elements 7 that was working prior to some minor repair I had done with my computer.  How can I access my Photoshop other than by the desktop icon?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Try making a new desktop icon for the Editor and delete the old one.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 7.0
Within the Photoshop Elements 7 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the icon)
Select that file and click Next.
Then click Finish.

  • Unable to open Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements

    Yesterday I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and 11 and Premiere Elements 11 on my Computer (Windows 7, 64-bit) and first everything was alright.
    But after a few hours I was not able to open one of them again. All I get is an error message to re-install the program again because of configuration error,  "error:1".
    I had that problem before and i tried about three times to re-install them correctly. Last time I used the compability mode to install and that was the only time they opened at least once.
    Any ideas?

    Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7.  But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now.  This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

  • How do I get rid of an error message that comes up on opening the Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer?

    When I double-click on the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 desktop icon,
    an error messsage appears. The title line says:
    OWL ORPHANAGE: PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe - System Error
    Then the message ;
    The program can't start because CoreFoundation.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
    I did deactivate, uninstall, and reinstall the program. Still got this message.
    When I click OK the error message flickers, then reappears. I click again, same thing. 3rd click, the message disappears and the Organizer opens.
    I can get Elements 8 to open, but why this message first, and is there a way to either download the missing file or just get rid of the message?
    I did do a computer search and there is no CoreFoundation.dll on my computer.

    Hi, John
    I downloaded the most recent QuickTime as you suggested, Restarted my computer, but the message is still coming up when I go to the Editor.

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

    Hi
    I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata.  In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40).  Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
    Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility.  I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
    So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore?  Isn't this a bug???
    I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
    WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
    Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
    but no such file appaers to exist.  In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
    i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(

  • Pdf file opens in Photoshop Elements.

    I am trying to help a friend download a camera manual that is a pdf file.
    Whether it is from his original disc or from the website it wants to open in Photoshop Elements, and so is unreadable.
    He has Windows XP. How can we change it to open in Word?

    I would say it's like this: Right click on the icon, Propertiers, Open with, make your choice
    (why Word and not Reader if it'sa PDF?)

  • Can a file created in Photoshop Touch (ipad) be opened in Photoshop Elements?

    I am think of purchasing the Photoshop Touch for my ipad but am not sure if it can be opened in Photoshop Elements when I have finished with it in Touch.  Hopefully, someone can answer my question...Thanks.

    Well, carp. Just like when you take your car in to the mechanic: I can't find any of the offending TIFF files. Not surprising considering that I have just north of 1,000 on my drive. Yikes.
    For the record, the error message basically just said that the file I was trying to open was incompatibile with this version of Photoshop. And just now I successfully opened a file from April 2005, originally created in CS, and it is completely intact. My novice-ness shows through , but it's perfectly intact.
    Sorry to bother to Board; I'll come back when (if?) the message comes back.
    Thanks.

  • Problem opening Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

    Problem opening Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

    After unzipping Photoshop Elements 13, I received a error message saying
    that PSE had detected an impending shutdown of my computer, and that I
    should shutdown and restart the computer.  I had two button choices:
    ignore or quit.  Given those choices, I quit, then shutdown the computer
    and restarted.  I again unzipped PSE and attempted an install.  This time I
    got a error message saying an installer was already running and I should
    shut it down.  Having no clue as to how to shut down an installer, I
    attempted (FOR 6 HOURS) to obtain assistance from Adobe technical support
    and either waited for a return call, waited on hold, attempted to
    communicate with someone who I could not understand from India, or was told
    technical support was not available on the phone for PSE.  I finally gave
    up and went to Chat.  There, attempting to explain what the problem was,
    (see above), I guess I took too long to respond, the chatter closed the
    chat, and I was not able to reconnect to chat.  After 5 attempts were
    denied, I contacted a friend who has computer operations experience.  After
    an hour of attempting various things, he told me to hit "ignore".  PSE
    installed correctly and I'm now using it.  This was an extremely shoddy
    performance by Adobe -- first a glitch in the install process, and then no
    help from tech support.

  • Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.

    Organizer won't open in Photoshop Elements 10. Says it is in use by another program.
    This just started happening.... When I open Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 in Windows 7 and click on Organizer to open my catalog, I get a message that reads, " The catalog could not be opened because it is currently in use by another program." I know of no other program. I do backup my pictures with a Seagate backup external drive. How can I resolve this so I can work with my pictures again. Could this have anything to do with Adobe's switch to Adobe Revel?

    Have you tried restarting the computer?

  • Have Photoshop Elements from 2001.  Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  It won't run on my new computer.  What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64?  Thanks for any help.  Popjer

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number.  If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

  • I cannot open my photoshop elements 10. I get an error 400.

    I cannot open my photoshop elements 10 to edit pictures. I get a message saying that it cannot connect, error 400. I was using it last week no problem than I shut down my computer & tried to open photoshop the next day & the program wouldn't open. I've heard that this is the result of photoshop.com no longer existing. What can I do about this? There has to be a way that I can still edit my pictures. I've tried opening some .psd docs but they won't open. I tried chatting with adobe tech support & they said that they cannot help me because this is an older PSE program. Anyone know any way around this? Mahalo nui loa!
    On a side note: I can't figure out how to respond when someone comments on my forum questions. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm obviously not very tech savvy.
