WHY DOES THE PE EDITOR KEEP FAILING TO LOAD

I have a brand new problem with Photoshop Elements 8, which I've been using in Windows for several years.
Suddenly the PE editor refuses to load--either from "Fix" in the album space or from "Edit" in the Workspace. It starts to load (with the green dots moving across the bar) and then kicks out.  Even after I signed in successfully to PE,  the editor still fails to load. Any suggestions?

One easy fix for Adobe programs is to Reset Preferences = Press/HOLD Ctrl+Alt+Shift while starting program
IF your problem is a corrupted preferences file, this is the fix

  • Why does the Adobe Updater keep failing?

    Why does the Adobe Updater keep failing? I close my Webroot antivirus app and the update keeps failing for the Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update. The message is "Extension Manager 6.0.8 Update Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7". I cannot retry until the Adobe Updater appears again in the notification bar (lower right of my Win 7 desktop.

    Hi,

  • Why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

    why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

    Hi Peter,
    In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
    Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

  • Why does the download list keep emptying?

    I have set the preference to empty the download list manually. And it used to work fine until a few weeks ago. But now, every time I close Safari, the download list empties and the download button disappears, until the next time I download something
    Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? I definitely want the items to remain in the list until I remove them, and I'm sure that I have set the preference correctly.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Downloads.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Why does the keyboard focus keep switching to the menu bar?

    Does anyone else have the problem of Photoshop CS6 constantly setting the keyboard focus to the menu bar? This makes it difficult to use shortcuts.
    Typical examples: I want to switch to the Move tool, so I press V, but instead, the View menu drops down. Or I press T for the Type tool, but instead, the Filter menu drops down. This happens often and it's very annoying.
    This also happens in Premiere Pro CS6, and happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines. Doesn't happen in other applications, and is not related to actually using a menu, i.e. if I choose something from a menu, then press V, Photoshop will often work correctly and activate the Move tool. This behavior seems to happen randomly.

    Alt doesn't really "unhide" the menu bar (speaking of Photoshop), but it's always been the introducer of keyboard operations for "keyboard accessbility" - i.e., operation of Windows applications without mouse.
    Alt causes little underlines to show up under the key characters of menu items, and prepares the system for the next character being typed to open a menu - so for example you press something like 'e' and the Edit menu pulls down.  Now you use an arrow key to move to the next item, or maybe a single character that's associated with one of the menu entries.
    Photoshop's goals for using modifier keys kind of conflict with this.  They've apparently tried to reach a balance where using the Alt key to modify some operation cancels the introduction of the next menu item. 
    But I don't think it's possible to be perfect at that, especially for example if the user presses Alt, decides not to do the operation he was thinking about doing (e.g., zooming out), then just releases the key.  Another factor might be the habits people get into for choosing tools.
    As a contrast, one person might not press the Alt key until they're sure they're going to do something with it (e.g., zoom out), and that same person might only choose tools from the Tools panel by clicking on them.  Another person might press the Alt key sometimes, but then stop before doing the operation it modifies.  That same person might be in the habit of choosing tools by their letter (e.g., E for eraser).  It's clear to see how the first person might never get into a condition where the menu introducer key (Alt) leaves them in a state where a menu opens inadvertently, while the latter might see it regularly.
    As far as why Photoshop might get into a mode where the menu introduction occurs when you HAVEN'T pressed the Alt key, I don't know; I certainly haven't seen that reported much if at all here on the forum.

  • Why does the UI editor not permit setting size_t / ssize_t?

    Programmatically it's possible to set VAL_SIZE_T, VAL_SSIZE_T, ..., VAL_INTPTR_T, VAL_UINTPTR_T...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am not sure what kind of example you expect...
    I have an integer variable representing the number of recorded events of a measurement; in the 32 bit version this is limited to 4*10^9 events which can be a restriction. So for computers running a 64 bit system I'd like to extend it to larger numbers; hence I replaced int by ssize_t and want to dispay this number in a table cell.
    This is the same transformation that was applied to most CVI library routines in 2010, e.g. PlotXY now expects ssize_t for the number of points to plot.
    This issue has been already discussed March 2010 with respect to numeric controls here, but it seems that nothing has changed for the better the last four years - the UI editor is still useless in such cases

  • TS1368 Why does the app store sometimes fail to connect?

    I often cannot connect to the app store with my new iPad, while I can at other times.  All the support suggestions suggest that my WiFi connection is the problem. However all the other apps that need the WiFi connection, such as Safari, email and Dropbox work all the time. This seems to indicate that my connection is OK. Why is the app store app unable to connect reliably?

    It will happen if you activate a new device in your iTunes account, such as a new iPod, or, from my experience, randomly. Apple stepped up security some months back to cut down on fraudulent purchases.

  • Why does the Invisible Man keep playing my music?

    I have an iPod Touch & the only thing that bugs me with it is that when I finish with it, I pause the music and then turn it off with the switch at the top left
    However when I come back later, the music has restarted and been consistently playing whilst I was not aware - and so I am 20 songs further down my playlist & end up with less battery power than expected
    The only thing that I can think of for this is that the remote control on the headphones has been triggered, e.g. if the ipod is in my pocket or in a bag & it touches something.
    Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something when turning it off?
    I have started disconnecting the headphones when not using it, I will see if this makes a difference
    Many thanks!

    ok what I have come up with ... if there is an update available from another store then the iPhone will keep trying to take you to that store but as you are logged in to other store it will not let you connect ... solution which worked for me was to go to the store requiring app update, update the app, change back to "now" store !!!!
    in my case
    1. change store to Canada
    2. update app i.e Google earth
    3. revert to UAE store ...
    Voila !!!!

  • Why does my iCloud mail often fail to load?

    Lately, my iCloud mail often fails to load on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 or on my MAC mini, same OS.  It loads OK first thing in the AM and works for maybe fifteen minutes then won't load mail messages.  Restarting computer and rebooting network does not cure the problem.  Other non-Apple applications, i.e. Google, etc. are working fine.
    Also, mail is ok on my iPhone.
    I'm on a local Airport (only me) and using Comcast cable.  Any ideas?

  • Why does the website ok cupid no longer load properly?

    This site does not load pictures, only text. I worked fine until about a month ago.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

  • Why does virgin IMAP email keep failing

    My wife and I both have iPhone 4’s and iPad 2’s, and all are set up to access our Virgin email accounts via IMAP using the imap.virginmedia.com server.  For some reason my wife’s iPhone keeps having an issue every few days or so where emails cannot be downloaded and she gets a message saying ‘The mail server “imap.virginmedia.com” is not responding.  Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings’.
    In the past when this came up I used to close down the mail application and it would then work again, however since iOS 6 this does not fix the issue, and the only way I can get her email to work again is to delete the email account and rebuild it once more.
    I am puzzled not only as to what is happening, but also why this only affects the mail on her iPhone and not iPad, and why it never affects me?  I would normally think it is an issue with the virgin mail servers but as this only affects her iPhone (and not her iPad with the same settings) I am not so sure and so think it is an Apple issue.  Can anyone help or have any suggestions?
    Just to be clear, all IMAP accounts on the 4 devices are set up the same, and her email does work with the settings used for a time.  It just keeps encountering this error on the iPhone (more frequently over the past few weeks).

    I love the way threads just die in these support forums. I have the same problem so went into Apple Store in London and asked someone, when I said I was on Virgin they rolled theirs eyes and said 'IMAP and Virgin emails on iPhone are not good' I asked if it had anything to do with the fact that Virgin.net use Gmail to provide their email but he wasn't aware if that was the issue.
    Sorry no solution but safe to say you are not alone, it's doing my head in and to complicate things for me if I have wifi enabled, and connected at home, POP emails won't send via cellular connection but second I disable wifi they fly. Sorry I digress.

  • Why does the same collection keep doing soft pulls on my credit

    I have 2 soft pulls from the same collection. I don't want to call them and they are located in florida. I am located in CT. most of my previous collections were either from NY or CT. why don't they just call or mail me the bill to my house. I am also afraid to call because since they are doing soft pulls it might be a huge bill. The dates of the soft pulls are in Sept 2013 and Dec 2014. All this info came from annual credit report .com

    Portfolio Recovery has been doing soft pulls on me at least 3-4 times a year for a debt from 2002(way outside the SOL.)  I'm not too concerned.  About once a quarter, they send me a settlement letter and I usually get a phone call every 6 months.  I've contemplated a couple times about settling with them (it's only $120ish) but then I think back to all the illegal crap they pulled and harassment I endured and just decided to say screw it.  Since it's out of the SOL, there isn't much they can do.  They can keep doing soft pulls and sending letters and I can keep putting them in the shred pile.Portfolio started soft pulling my file in May when I applied for a few cards. Since that date they soft pulled me almost every other day for two weeks straight. The last time I pulled a full report they were still doing soft pulls, though not as frequently. I haven't dealt with PRA in many years and panicked at first. But I have received no phone calls and no letters. So, I'll just let it be for now I guess. I have no collections. I honestly don't know what accounts they are collecting on. I find it annoying so perhaps I'll contact them at some point.
