Uninstalling & Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 9

I had some problems with my Windows Vista and want to Uninstall/Reinstall Photoshop Elements 9. Is there anything that I should be aware of before while uninstalling or reinstalling that might be considered out of the ordinary (e.g., Do I uninstall all the files if the uninstall gives me that option?)?

Hi Edgar Sr.,
You can run the inbuilt  uninstaller to remove PSE 9 from the computer.
Yes it's recommended to uninstall all the files and preferences but then it also depends upon the types of error / problems you were facing.
To be on the safe side, remove the application completely and reinstall.

  • How to uninstall/reinstall Photoshop elements 10 and Premier Elements 10

    I have purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 (bundled together 5 discs).  I've installed on my Windows 7 laptop beginning with disc 1 and then it hung up and I couldn't eject.  I was not prompted for any further discs.  I then read that I should've began the install with Disc 2 as I am installing on a Windows 7 computer.  I was wondering if I should uninstall what I have done so far and start over with a fresh install omitting disc 1 and beginning with Disc 2. Is this what I should be doing?   I have not connected to the internet and "activated" the product yet.  If I uninstall will I need to somehow remove the serial number and deactivate to preserve them for the re-install on the same computer.  I don't want to lose one of my licenses as I wish to install these programmes on my desktop as well.  Have read through many similar queries on these forums and have become pretty confused.  Hope someone can help.

    Thanks Jeff.  I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1).  However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer.  I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome.  Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem.  As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4.  It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
    Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated.  Thanks

  • I had to uninstall my photoshop elements 9 and now Im trying to reinstall and its not working pls help!

    I had to uninstall my photoshop elements as I deleted a texture and now I am trying to reinstall its just comes up saying that the wizard is saying that it was interrupted and its not installing pls help

    Reneeb41086198 without a specific error I would recommend reviewing Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows which discusses common installation troubleshooting processes.
    You may also want to consider evaluating Photoshop Elements 13 from Picture editor, edit pictures | Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as it was designed to install and function under Windows 8.1.  Windows 8.1 was not available when Photoshop Elements 9 was released.

  • I reinstalled photoshop elements 6 to my computer and now it won't let me register it. How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
    Some people don't seem to need 10.7.  Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

  • Reinstall Photoshop Elements 6 after Hard Disk upgrade on MacBook

    Hi
    I am trying to reinstall Photoshop elements after upgrading HD on macbook 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. OS 10.5.8, 2.5 Gb Ram using SuperDuper 2.1. Tried running the transferred copy of P.E.6 --> hangs while trying to initialize menus
    After searching forums for suggestions I have tried the following
    1 use adobe installer to uninstall old copy of P.E.6
    2 removed /library/Application Support/Adobe~
    3. Use Apple Disk Utilities to repair permissions
    Reinstalled new copy of P.E.6 (downloaded from Adobe.Com)
    On starting P.E.6 - goes thru first set of initialization OK
    then hangs while trying to initialize menus (spinning beachball)
    Also installed on a Power Mac Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 (P.E.6 has not been installed before)
    - P.E.6 works on this machine
    any help greatly appreciated

    Created a new user (admin)
    uninstall and re-install PE6
    still no go
    does it check the serial number as I have another copy(using same serial number) running on PowerMac G5 (as a test) on the same network?

  • [PC] Reinstalling Photoshop Elements 11 Question

    How do I reinstall Photoshop Elements 11 on new PC?

    Dear Bill (sent 11 March, but not posted here!)
    My old (actually quite new) computer unexpectedly packed up irreparably last month.  Fortunately data was backed up, but not programmes (I assumed I would be able to reinstall from original providers). The answers to your questions in this context are:
    I do not have PSE 11 as either a file or physical media
    Was installed once – on now defunct machine
    No warning of breakdown, so not deactivated or uninstalled
    I have the PSE 11 serial number
    I may say I have been extremely put out by the way that the Adobe helpline has responded – out of warranty so £65 before we will even talk to you!
    Alan
    PS (1 April 2014) I gave up and downloaded a new copy of PSE11 from Adobe, but this would not open. After a long and fruitless time on various Adobe sites, trying to resolve that issue they informed me that they do not 'maintain' previous versions (though maintenance not requested - just access to their own download, and PSE11 may be previous, but mine was only 2 years old). An upgrade option is referred to on the Adobe site, but could not be ordered. I have given up and ordered PSE12 from Amazon (for £65), after being offered it for £199 by Adobe! This has left a very bad taste in my mouth - April fool indeed.

  • How to reinstall Photoshop Elements without losing the catalog?

    Hello all,
    I find myself in an awkward situation.
    For a reason unknown, it seems an essential file for Photoshop Organizer has been deleted. I suspect a disk cleanup utility to have been a bit overzealous. Anyway the harm is done.
    When I try to start Organizer I get a message telling me that it can't start cause "DetectionUtils.dll" can not be found. The reinstallation of this application could correct this problem". Starting Editor is not a problem however.
    I wanted to try out reinstalling Photoshop Elements but when I launch the installation the only option I have is uninstalling Photoshop as the instal program just like Windows considers Photoshop is still installed on my computer.
    My catalog is huge: I have tagged 26 000+ photos and videos. I don't want to lose it. Of course, I have backups but I want to get it back into Photoshop.
    So what are my options? How can I manage to get Photoshop 8.0 working again with my catalog?
    The simplest solution would be to be able to download the Detectionutils.dll file and install it but where can I download it and where do I save it?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Did an uninstall and a reinstall, Elements worked again and I got my Catalog back!
    Thanks a lot for the quick answer dj_paige!

  • I am trying to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and receive a 1316 error.

    I am trying to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and receive a 1316 error.  The account already exists.  What?  I purchased and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and want to remove the older version.  Nothing works.

    Downloaded the trail versions and installed.  Had to do the trial versions because I no longer have the serial numbers.  Once I reinstalled, I was able to uninstall with no problems.

  • Do you need to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12?

    Is it best to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 before installing Elements 12 or not?
    If so, how do you save and transfer all Albums, Folders and Tags?
    If not, do they transfer automatically?
    Thanks,

  • Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

    Is it safe to uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 after installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?  I just upgraded from 10 to 12 and wanted to know if it is safe or if there would be any issues with uninstalling and removing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. 

    Yes you can, if you are happy with the way PSE12 is running.
    However both apps will happily co-exist, and there is no duplication as both use the same images on your hard drive.
    PSE10 also has some features now removed from PSE12 as Adobe transitions towards 64 bit applications. See my PSE12 first look link:
