Upgrade 9 to 12 - Adobe Active File Monitor 9.0 still running

I've upgraded from Elements 9 to 12. Windows Task-Manager shows Adobe Active File Monitor 9.0 is still running.
Is it neccessary?
If not, how to get rid off?

You can go to Start>Run>Type services.msc. This opens window services. Select the Active monitor services with version 9. Right click>Stop and go to Properties through right click. Select teh start up type as disabled as shown in screenshot.

Adobe Active File Monitor V12 will not start/ program crashes & other errors

I have recently installed Version 12 of Photoshop Elements on Windows XP Pro (service pack 3).
If I try to specify "Watched Folders" PE tells me to start the Adobe Active File Monitor in Admin Tools - Services.
If I try to manually start this service it reports that:
"Could not start the Adobe Active File Monitor V12 service on local computer Error 1067. The process terminated unexpectedly"
If I look at the Event Viewer in XP there are numerous errors reporting that this service has attempted to start automatically with the following error:

In addition the Photoshop Organiser crashes frequently and If I edit a picture and save it to the stack, it does not appear in the catalogue so I have to manually get the picture and stack it with the original. I assume that these problems are related to the above problem.
My original installation co-existed with Version 3 so I uninstalled this old version then uninstaled and reinstalled version 12. This made no difference to the problem.
Any ideas on this problem?

Thanks for that suggestion Michel.
Killing the AutoAnalyzer using these instructions (http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/31/the-elements-12-auto-analyzer-adobes-evil-undead/doe s ) does seem to have solved the problem of edited pictures not being saved to the stack - although I have noticed that since disabling the autoanalyzer, when saving a file, the editor almost always now does not display the option window which allows you to choose if you want to save with the stack etc. It usually only shows the JPEG quality selector window.
Its too early for me to say if making this change has reduced the frequency of crashes but it certainly has not solved the problem with the Watched Folders so Im still looking for a solution to this one.

Active file monitor adobe

I can't find and open service "the active file monitor Adobe". Not present in the services part from the configurations.

If you invoke File > Watch Folders and get the error message “The Watch Folder Service is unavailable”, restart the file-monitor service:
Go to the Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, select “Adobe Active File Monitor vx” (substitute your pse version number for x). Right-click Properties, make sure Start Type is set to Automatic. Then click Start.
The Active File Monitor service is supposed to be always running, but for some unknown reason, it sometimes gets configured to not run.

Can't find the Active File Monitor Service

I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 13 on my Windows 8.1 OS. I was having the version 9 on my previous computer and never had any issue with it.
I want to define the folder that I need to monitor in Photoshop Elements 13. But when I click on the option in the "File" menu, I get a message saying that I need to start the service "Adobe Active File Monitor". Problem is that this service seems not to be installed. It is not listed in my services. How can I fix that? Is there another installation that I need to run aside to have this service installed?
Let me know
Thanks
P.S: I know how to monitor, start, stop, set services. It is just not listed, so probably not installed.

OK forget about this. I tried the chat with a technician that didn't know what to tell me. He referred me to a senior engineer that suggested to simply uninstall and reinstall the software which indeed fixed the problem.
So the solution: uninstall and reinstall.

Active file monitor is not installed !

The active file monitor service, allowing the "control records" did not install it does not appear in services.msc
I know how to reinstall it, thank you

Hi,
Are you still having problem installing it ?? Or have you figured out a way already.
Thanks.

I am having a hard time with fcpx, it is running so slow. i upgraded my ram to 12 and have cleaned up my computer to run faster and have changed all my files to proxy files but it is still running SO slow. please help!

I am having a hard time with my fcp x running so slow. i can't even move my mouse without the time wheel coming on and staying up for at least 20 some seconds. I have upgraded my ram to 12 and changed all my files to proxy files; also i cleaned the crap out of my computer removing all other media files I didn't need and it is still running the same. Please help! I have a deadline on my short film to be submitted and I can't finish it like this. Oh also it ran fine in the beginning but and one day it just started doing this out of no where. Anything will help! Thanks

In addition have you got FileVault switched on as that will kill performance.

TS2951 after installing snow leopard 10.6.3 from tiger 10.4.11 everything upgraded and opens correctly except the dock. It is still running with the old dock.

help, the original HD (10.5.8 leopard) crashed and i replace it with one a little smaller HD (10.4.11 tiger). It was real jerky and i couldn't play a lot of my games. Since I had always wanted to upgrade to snow leopard anyway I did. Always wanted to get the app store. Still don't have it! what did i do wrong or better yet, how to i fix it?
up graded from 10.4.11 with 10.6.3 - everything is great except it is using the old dock. I don't have the download icon, the utility icon the app store icon in my doc. - and when looking in finder i don't find the app store application - not real sure what else or where else to look.

Is there an upgrade for Safari to open the newest version of Adobe pdf files?

I went to the www.cic.gc.ca website and tried to open a pdf link. A page opens to say I need to download the latest adobe reader. I installed the latest Adobe Reader and it is terrible. Slow, not smooth with viewing and does not support retina display. Had the worst time trying to uninstall it. Successfull, but then pdf doesn't open in safari. Then had to delete a file from go to folder /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. Now, it seems to be okay. But still can't open pdf's from this site.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari/Adobe are constantly blocking access to PDF files

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Safari/Adobe (Version 7.0 (9537.71)) are constantly blocking access to PDF files.
I can intuit what this is all about, however, I can find no information about it... the Adobe Plugin/Safari is apparently building a "white-list" of "trusted sites," but I can not find any information about this white-list -- where it is stored, how to revoke permisions, how to "one-time" permissions, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am experiencing this exact same behavior since upgrading to Mavericks, too.

Adobe Activation Issue on Windows 7

I am trying to run Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7. I ran the install .exe file in compatibility mode and run the photoshop.exe file in compatibility mode as well. After the installation is complete, I can open Imageready with no issue, but cannot use any of the features since CS2 is not activated. When I try to open Photoshop I receive the following error:
Adobe Activation
Sorry, a serious error has been detected. To continue using Adobe Photoshop, please reinstall the application.
I have gone as far as uninstalling all of my Adobe products and removing the user preferences and then installing CS2 first, to no avail. I would like to activate my product but the window to allow me will never open.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Given your wording, I'm not sure you understand that UAC causes you to run applications without privileges, even though your account may be a member of the Administrators group.
Have you tried running Photoshop "As Administrator"?
Also, it seems to me Marian Driscoll has been saying that one of the versions of Photoshop - possibly Photoshop CS2 - might need to be installed with a forced short folder name. Maybe she'll respond on here and confirm that.

I have Adobe 5.0, original disk, 6.0 upgrade, original disk, and Adobe CS2. I'd like to install in my new computer with Win.8.1. Can you help?

Forget about all the versions you already have (5.0 through to CS2). They will no longer work and the serial numbers are redundant.
Download the non-activation version of CS2 form the link provided by kglad and use the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number(s) will no longer work.
Note: there is no guarantee that CS2 will run well on Win 8.1. Try it and see.

Starting today, Firefox will not open Adobe Acrobat files in Adobe Reader, despite my putting Reader as default in Applications tab.

Until today, I had no trouble opening Adobe Acrobat files with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an old version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express that does not recognize later versions.) Starting this morning, when I click on an Acrobat file, I am asked which program I want to open it with. Even when I click "Do this automatically...", it doesn't do so. It asks me every time. I went into Tools, Applications, and changed all of the pdf related issues to open with Adobe Reader 9.5. This also doesn't work.

What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

Adobe CS6 file associations are all messed up

Many of CS6 file association extensions wont open;
After installing CS6 many of the previous extensions .psd .prproj .ai, I found broken and Windows 7 (64bit) would ask what program to open it with.
It would not give me the option to chose the obvious. So, I selected Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations and select Photoshop cs6 .exe and it would not assign it.
Same with several other files.
Even files I made fresh from CS6 photoshop(64) it wont select or give option to open with the program it was made with. I have to open the program first and select the file from inside the program.
Now Adobe Bridge CS6 shows all the files with a visual preview but when I select the file it says "windows cannot find 'C:\program file\adobe\adobe cs5 (64 bit)\photoshop.exe' make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again.
Somehow I have to unlink the old extensions because cs5 is gone but I can't seem to change the associations until whatever residual cs5 registry ghost still lives in my machine.
I have googled the problem and a lot of people are having this problem but no real fixes seem apparent or they are insanely drastic like wiping the whole drive and re-installing windows.
I see that this has happened before with other upgrades on the forums i.e. cs4 to cs5 years back.
This is my 6th upgrade and I gave adobe thousands and thousands of dollars and why is this problem not getting addressed when other been complaining about years ago and still not a viable solution is given.

I used the CS Cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and followed the steps its really easy.. but ur gonna have to re install you Creative Suite all u do for the cleaner is open it up then select english (e) ->enter->Agree (Y)->enter->All (1) (which is the first option for a full clean i guess)->enter->Product Number its just basically asking you to input your choice number again (1)->enter and should tell u its all done then after u install CS again go to start-> default programs->associate file type->.psd for example->double click it and select Photoshop even though its probably already selected >.< but just do it again cuz it will refresh all the files on the coputer and whala you should c the correct file dysplay Heres pictures of my files before and after as proof idk if u managed to fix it but i recently got CS6 and drove me nuts tht there wasnt enough info on the web about this simple issue lol so i will post to help ppl in need !!
