Uninstalling Elements 7

Just installed Elements 10.  Using Windows Vista cannot find Elements 7 in Control Panel program list to delete its associated files.  Don't want to risk just deleting the files.  Any thoughts?  Thanks

Having just been through a 7 day nightmare simply trying to load Ver 12.
I would uninstall your latest version - get on the phone to Adobe and ask them to get a decent techy to remove all the crap, that is left behind that may/will cause you problems in the future.
Eg if you have to uninstall and then try and reinstall bet you will have an issue or 2.
B then they may have forgotten how that version works, or will try to use current license clean up tools that are in appropriate.
Call me cynical but 27 years in the computer industry taught me how to smell crap support from 20 miles away!.  There's is the worst in the industry that i have come across.
Finally I got one clued up guy or I would still be down with the splash screen offering me the opportunity to buy the product again because my Trial version has expired [ er sorry I never had a trial version! ]
Basically they should invest the time to write a decent uninstall program. And ... Stop leaving this Cloud licensing crap behind after you uninstall.
I strongly suspect they deliberately leave behind a load of Malware; to help them lock you [in the future] into their 'Cloud' dream.
Personally having sufferred their support departments, incompetence and their dreadful 'Chat' support - the thought of putting any of my data or pictures, in their hands makes me shudder.
Even if they offered my the latest Lightroom and Full Photoshop free for 5 years on their Cloud, the answer would be raptuous laughter!
Dont' beleive me? look to see how many people have uninstall and installation issues. My case rests!
Only thing I find hard to comprehend is how can they have engineers, that can build extremely complex and good editing software yet not manage to build a simple working uninstall/installation/ licensing  program!

    Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

  • I have Elements 12 on my pc.  I installed elements 13 but it will not boot up. Both products are registered with Adobe.When I sign in to 13 and then accept the software agreement it does not load.  Do I need to uninstall Elements 12?

    Pertaining to my question above.....I have uninstalled Elements 13 and then re-installed but I have the same problem as stated above.  Any ideas on how to solve my problem?  Elements 12 boots up just fine.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Are there instructions to uninstall Elements 7 and Elements 10

    Hello,
    Could somebody please help me?  I purchased a new laptop and I have to return it because it's been giving me a lot of problems.  I have to uninstall Elements 7 and Elements 10 before I return it.
    Are there specific instructions and links to uninstall these 2 programs?
    Or, can I just use the Windows uninstall programs to completely uninstall them?
    Thanks for your assistance!

    Good morning, Barbara.
    Oh I see, I didn't know that.  I called the regular 1-800-585-0774 number.  I had to wait for 18 mins to get a regular person, which then put me on hold for another long time, then she transferred me - and the line just kept on ringing and ringing.  All in all, I waited for 1 hour and 5 minutes, until I went to chat with the Adobe lady - even while I was chatting with her the phone just kept on ringing.  So, no, I'm not impressed with the kind of phone support they gave me.
    Thanks for the number.  After your last message I decided to just uninstall the thing.  Then I uninstalled a couple of other things and ran a System Restore.  The laptop is all packed and ready to go, I'll be going to the post office to mail it back to QVC in a little while.
    Thanks for your assistance.  Have a great weekend.

  • Am I supposed to uninstall Elements 10 prior to installing Elements 12?

    Am I supposed to uninstall Elements 10 prior to installing Elements 12?

    It is not a requirement but you can if you prefer to only have 12 installed.  If you uninstall it beforehand you are going to need the serial number for 10 if you purchased 12 as an upgrade.

  • Downloaded elements 12, said to uninstall and try again, uninstalled CS6 as I thought that was the problem, then tried to also uninstall Elements 12 and it couldn't uninstall elements 12. Now what?

    Tried to install Elements 12. It said to uninstall and try again as it couldn't open. Remembered I have CS6 on there so I uninstalled that, then tried to uninstall Elements 12 but now Elements 12 cannot be completely uninstalled. Now what should I do?

    Just tried putting the disc in, clicked on "install" and it attempted to uninstall the program but again failed so now I can't install it at all. Anyone know the phone number for Adobe so they can help me? They of course don't post it on their website. :/

  • Uninstall elements 3 and Album 2 after Elements 4 Install?

    Can I safely uninstall Elements 3 and Photoshop Album 2 after successful Elements 4 install? (No photos lost, no problems with Elements 4 afterwards?) Thanks
    operating system: winxp.

    S Burns,
    It has been reported on this board that uninstalling a version of elements will uninstall the Adobe Gamma utility concominantly. This is undesirable, and would necessitate a reinstallation should you desire this function for monitor calibration.
    Unless one is pressed for disk space, I would retain both versions.
    I don't know anything about a potential downside to deleting Album 2.

  • How to uninstall Elements 8?

    I installed Elements 10, but when I tried to uninstall Elements 8 I get, "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\Windows\Installer\AdobePhotoshopElements8.0.msi"  I searched the web and found one set of instuctions to manually remove the folder and registry entries.  The folders were easy, but the registry instructions appear to be for previous versions of Windows.  Are there any instructsion for Windows 7?

    Actually, I spoke too soon.  When I checked I an only find about half of
    the items listed.  I cannot find HKCR\Software|Adobe\Elements Organizer nor
    Photoshop elements.  In HKCR\Software\Adobe\ folder there is only Acrobat.
    In HKLM\Software there is no Adobe subfolder.
    Also, it isn't clear to me what it means to remove the registry entry.  Do
    I delete the subfolder or something else.  For exampe
    HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\UpgradeCodes\5C1E2F4B17C6F69...  is listed
    as a subfolder and in the right panel it has 2 items with their names
    (Default and C73EFD71E...) the type (REG_SZ for both) and Data ("value not
    set" on the first and blank on the second).  So do I delete the subfolder
    or an item in the subfolder.
    Sorry for the questions, but I'm finding this difficult.

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 12 upgrade [from Elements 9]. Can I uninstall Elements 9 without any negative effects?

    yes, you can deactivate (help>deactivate) and uninstall.
    you do/did not even need to have pse 9 installed before installing your ps12 upgrade.  if it's not installed you will be prompted for the pse 9 serial number.
