Why does my Photoshop Elements 13 crash everytime it is opened

PSE 13 crashes every time it opens.
After the original installation, it worked twice. There have been no changes to the computer, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software with no success.
The software is installed on a Dell laptop that more than meets minimum requirements, and the OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest you trash the prefs file so that they get automatically re-built on next launch.
Quit PSE12
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings
Also see this link if you normally have Finder set to the cover flow view:

Why does my Photoshop CS3 crash everytime I open it ever since I switched to Yosemite (on iMac)?

I've tried updating Java and reinstalling photoshop to no avail. How can I fix this?

If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
Try checking that if you don't.

Why does my Photoshop CC crash and lose my actions?

At times, my PS crashes and when I reload it some of my actions are missing. I have them all on my laptop but its very aggravating to reload and place them where I want them. Is there some way I can save how I have them loaded? It also puts brushes back in that I've deleted.

pretty simple really...Photoshop stores the then current state of actions/brushes/presets (and a lot of other things) when you launch and then quite Photoshop normally. However, if you crash after launch, Photoshop goes back to the last saved state of the application...so, if you do a lot of work with actions, brushes or presets, it behooves you to then quite Photoshop normally (so those changes get saved) and then restart Photoshop. Then if you crash (and really, you shouldn't be crashing on a regualr basis) your relaunch of Photoshop will incorporate all those changes when launched.

Why does my photoshop keep crashing?

I've been using photoshop cc 2014 for 3 or 4 months with no problems. Now, every time I go to print I get this error message: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I'm using Windows 8.1 on my laptop...Photoshop & the creative cloud is all up to date.....I've signed out of creative cloud & back in again......I've rebooted my computer several times.
Please help! I've not been able to use the program now for 3 days & can't get any response on Live Chat!
Thanks, Carla

Only when printing? Can you print from other applications without problems?
Either way, it is probably a print driver or operating system issue.

Why does my PhotoShop Elements Program always startup with two windows?

Any ideas as to what I did wrong???
Better yet, how do I fix it???

Why does my iTunes player crash everytime I try to play a TV show that I purchased in the Apple store?

I purchased a TV show from the Apple store. I am trying to watch it on my PC through iTunes. It downloaded fine and I was able to open it last night.

Photoshop CS4 crashes everytime it is opened

I have have photoshop cs4 installed on this computer for a little over a month now. Up until today it has run without any problems whatsoever. For Christmas, I recieved a Wacom Pen and Touch tablet. I installed it yesterday and had some time to play around with it and doodle for a while. Today when I went back into Photoshop I was greeted by continuous crashes. Photoshop itself will open but I am unable to open any documents, create new documents or even browse menu options. Anything that I click on brings up the "Photoshop has encountered and error and needs to close" box. Every once and a while I get a video driver error and notified that openGL has been disabled. I have updated Photoshop, my graphics driver, and even uninstalled, tried the adobe solutions at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405064.html and even uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Nothing is working and I am getting quite frustrated. What could be wrong that yesterday it was working perfectly but today it will not even open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the Bamboo a USB tablet? Could be a conflict with your USB controller?
What other USB devices do you have connected? Mouse? Externals? Keyboard? Other?
If the proper installation of the Wacom driver does not fix things, this would be my next area to research.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why does my Photoshop CS4 Closed Immediately after I open it?

I can't figure it out. Photoshop closes about a second after I open it. I would have thought it was my PC, but it was working okay a couple of weeks ago.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics?

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics from card?

Thanks for your response. When it comes to computers, I am almost
illiterate. I have a HP Pavillion PC and have used Photoshop Elements 5.0
for a number of years. Computer crashed couple of weeks ago and I sent it
back to HP. They returned it with new guts I think. Had to reinstall my
programs and use my external backup to get all the stuff back, including
about 11,000 pics. Now, every time I try to put the SD card in to download
the pics to the Organizer, it downloads about 4 or 5 pics and freezes.
Have to use task manager to get PC going again. Been doing the same thing
for years and this just happened since I got new PC back. Is that any help?

why does adobe premier elements render my video everytime i change something in it even when i have lots more of the video to edit? other editing software only seems to render at the start then lets you edit until your ready to save at the end. Constant rendering means its almost impossible to edit anything. Please help.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running? It will not influence my answer but will give me information in case I need to get into version specifics to detail my answer further.
Timeline rendering is a preview matter. It does not fix anything, but it is your window of opportunity to catch of problem sooner than latter. If the Timeline rendering indicator displays orange (11 or higher) for the line above the Timeline content, that is the project telling you that you are not getting the best possible preview of the playback of that content in the Edit area monitor. And, every time you edit a file, you have altered the file from the time before. So, if you want to see the best possible for what you now have, you Timeline render. This is particularly helpful when you are dealing with titles, effects, transitions, and non native formats. You cannot turn off the Timeline render indicator system, at least none that I have ever found nor seen reported. You can do selective Timeline rendering by having the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar span only the Timeline segment that you want Timeline rendered.
Consequently, you either ignore the Timeline render indicator system, move on in the project, and take your chances in the outcome or you Timeline render to get your best possible preview if the Timeline render indicator is suggesting that you do so.
I am not approving or disapproving of this project feature, just commenting on the what is.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you want to have your voice heard at Adobe, you might consider filing an Adobe Feature Request Bug Report Form.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Please consider.

Add On...it is also possible to do Timeline rendering in a project, save close the project, and reopen it to find your previously "green" lined content now "orange", indicating unrendered. Yet the preview files generated originally by Timeline rendering are still existing in their hard drive save location. That is another story for other time.

Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open. Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't. It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops. Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

>Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.
