Will PSE 4.0 run on Vista?

I just bought a new laptop & I really don't want to re-learn the software. Will version 4 run on Vista???
Thanks,
Shauna

Some people have had very moderate success, but there are a lot of video problems and the organizer doesn't work well at all. The earliest version of Elements that is officially supported on Vista is PSE 5, with the special patch download.
You won't find 5 or 6 involve a lot of relearning. They just have a lot of new tools in addition to the ones you're used to.

  • Why will PSE 2 not run nor be uninstalled?

    Suddenly, when launching PSE 2 I get the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". Attempts to get help from Adobe have failed. I then tried to uninstall it. I do not have the original CD to attempt a reinstall. The program does not show up in the Add/Remove utility nor in the Installer Cleanup Utility. Anyone know how to get it running or how to get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    Jim B

    Well, there are several file paths in Win XP to a PSE installation. C:/ program files/ Adobe/ Photoshop Elements xxx , and C;/ Documents and Settings / User/ Application Data/ Adobe / PSE xxx. This is not to mention the settings in the system registry.
    Because of Winddows " .dll " files, summarily removing folders can be a risky proposition. Messy business, are .dll files. This is the reason the Mac users are always crowing about how good the Mac OS is. The Mac OS creates a "mount point" and each program is then treated as if it were a CD. So, you can simply trash a program folder, no harm, no foul.
    For example, the other day I uninstalled a copy of PSE 5 from a Win 7 computer. Then I tried to clean up by removing the program folder. Whoops, after that the DVD drive disappeared, and "Device Manager" was of no use trying to restore it. I'm guessing a couple of .dll files were left behind which connected PSE to the burner, since the program grants itself burn rights on the machine.
    So, it is imperative that before you try any of this, that you create a system restore point.
    Clocking the system back to when PSE 2 was working seems to be the least hazardous thing to try first.
    A thorough system scan with reputable security software is always a great idea, even if it has nothing to do with the problem.
    There are a couple of freeware programs available that can assist with system registry repairs and and clean up. They are "CCleaner" and "Advanced System Care". These are available at  http://www.techspot.com/downloads.html  As always I recommend that a novice user do a fair amount of research before launching to tasks such as the topic of this thread.
    Since fools rush in and all that, personally I would acquire a copy of PSE 3 and just install that. It would go into it's own folder and freshen up the system file situation. Almost every piece of hardware you purchase has one version of PSE or another, perhaps a friend might have an unused copy laying about.

  • Will PSE 5 run under Win 7 64-bit?

    Running Windows 7 64-bit on notebook would like to run Photoshop Elements there I have it running on desktop computer under Windows XP.  Will PSE 5 run on the notebook?

    I just noticed that my reply to you was in reply to your answer to a question I posted Dec 3, 2013.
    I thought your repley was to a similar question I posted this week. Since my notebook had a short life the same question has come-up again. 
    Today I decided to upgrade PSE 5 installed on a Dell, Latitude E6400 notebook running Windows 7 32-bit.  I am waiting for approval to download PSE 13.    I wonder if  this upgarde will work.     When I start PSE 5 the Welcome screen appears but when I click Organize the Organizer doesn't load.  I can enter the Editer. I printed SysInfo and noticed it thinks the OS is Vista not Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit which is what I'm running.
    What do think?
    I also have a desktop computer on which I would like to run PSE.  It has a 64-bit CPU, and Win 7 Home Premium installed.  When I Start PSE 5 the Welcome screen appears, but that is as far as I can go. Neither the Organizer nor Editer will load. I thought I might run PSE 5 inside a Win XP  virtual environment.
    What do you think I sould?

    Yes, Firefox 6 runs on Vista 32 or Vista 64. Firefox itself is a 32-bit application.

  • Dreamweaver MX 6.01 - will it run under Vista

    I use dreamweaver MX vs 6.01. I plan to buy a new computer
    with Vista.
    Questions:
    1. will dreamweaver MX 6.01 run under Vista?? I don't wish to
    upgreade
    2. which Vista would be best.??
    thanks!!!!

    Given that version 8 is not classed as being Vista
    compatible, earlier
    versions are unlikely to be.
    In terms of which Vista version it all depends upon what you
    want to use the
    box for.

  • Which version of InDesign will run on Vista as a free trial?

    My computer is windows Vista and O can't download the free trial of indesign to edit my documents. Is there another software I could use to edit.

    Moved to InDesign General Discussions.
    You can download an older version (CS6 out to run on Vista) fro one of the links at the bottom of this page: Download and Installation Help
    This will only work if the files were saved in CS6 or earlier ( and if earlier, it would be best to continue editing in the earlier version).

  • PSE 7 or 8 and vista 64

    Is there a way to get PSE 7 or 8 to run on vista 64?  I can install and open the program.  I can also use the organizer and the quick fix tools, but when I try to open the editor, it say PSE editor has stopped working.  "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"  It never gives me a solution.
    I bought PSE 7 in July for my new computer, but the box doesn't say compatible only with vista 32.  After much headache, I gave up.  I just bought PSE 8, thinking the new version would work, but it doesn't either.  I guess I can wait until I upgrade to windows 7 (which PSE 8 is supposed to work), but would really like to use it now.

    Adobe doesn't provide support for PSE 7 or earlier on Vista 64, though many people have reported that it runs just fine:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_PSE_and_Vista
    While Adobe has committed in writing that PSE 8 will run on Windows 7, they don't say if they'll support Windows 7 64-bit (Windows 7 has 32- and 64-bit flavors, just like Vista and XP).   It wouldn't surprise me if Adobe declines to support Windows 7 64-bit, just as they have with Vista.
    However, the problems you're experiencing are very possibly not related to Vista 64. See this FAQ for troubleshooting PSE Editor crashes:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Editor_ crashes
    Finally, you could try downloading the 30-day free trial of PSE 8 from Adobe.com.

  • Will PSE 11 open RAW D7100 files in ACR without having to convert to DNG?

    I have a D7100 and PSE10 -- I learned (after the fact...) that PSE 10 can not open D7100 RAW files. I have tried using the DNG converter but do not want to have to do this. I also purchased Lightroom 5 in ordert to solve the problem, but again (after the fact...) learned that LR5 doesn't work with VISTA, which is that my desktop has.  Getting quite frustrated, I know mostly my fault for not researching enough.... but I really just want to open the D7100 RAW files directly in ACR. Will PSE 11 support D7100 RAW files without having to convert to DNG first?

    Suggest you download the trial version using the link below and try it free for 30 days. Also bear in mind that PSE12 is due out soon. So you could run another trial of that product when available, assuming Vista support.
    After downloading and installing the trial you will need to update the ACR plug-in to get support for the D7100.
    Launch Full Edit (Expert Mode in PSE11) and on the menu click:
    Help >> Updates
    Install version 7.4 of ACR and your NEF files should open, with one proviso. Ensure your raw files have not passed through older versions of Nikon Transfer/ Nikon software; only the software that shipped with your camera.

  • T-500 running Windows Vista - Error trying to install Service Pack 2

    I just spent my entire Saturday trying unsuccessfully to install SP2 for Windows Vista on my T-500.  My laptop has Vista Home Premium as the OS and is fully patched with SP1.
    The message I get is "Error_not_found (0x80070490)"  when I try to install SP2
    I ran SFC /Scannow and got a message that there are corrupt components and a direction to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS that has a huge file I cannot comprehend. 
    I also ran the "System Update Readiness Tool" prior to trying to install SP2 with no apparent effect.
    I have tried various approaches to this such as running System Restore and reapplying everything  with reboots in-between.
    I confirmed no spyware and also disabled my antivirus program (NOD) during updates with no effect.  
    Has anyone else out there had a similar problem who might be able to offer advice?
    Thanks,
    The Hoy

    Are you sure you have the proper file downloaded for your system? x86 if you are running 32bit Vista and x64 if 64bit. 
    Other than that, you might try to use Windows Update. Note that you need to install all updates, possibly including IE8 before Windows Update will offer you SP2.
    You might also try installing all updates from Windows Update and then running your stand alone SP2 installer, to see if that solves the problem.

  • Can any one help me with CD/Audio disc playback problem on media center m8200n running Windows Vista

    I have HP Media Center m8200n Dest top running WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT edition.It  has MEDIA CENTER and MEDIA PLAYER. I experience problems with the computer being able to play CD music discs.  What happens is that the Disc will play only for 63 seconds exactly and then stop playing the track, the player will then skip tracks, settle on another one, play it for a few moments and then skip to the end and then play nothing. It gives me an error message that it cannot read the disc.  This happens with any and every standard store bought CD new or used. These CDs also do play on my laptop running basically same operating system.  This happens whether I trying to Play a disc or burn the disc to the hard drive.  The drives work great though as they do play DATA discs all the way through. MP3 discs play fine.  It also plays the DVD movies with no problem. Windows media player doesn't make it work, also installed VLC player and REALPLAYER to try some other players and they also don't work for music, only DVDs. They all only produce 63 seconds of music play back  from a disc. I've already tried Changing ENHANCEMENTS, UPDATING DRIVERS, UNINSTALLING THE DISC DRIVE and then re-installing back into WINDOWS but none of that helped. SYSTEM came with the integrated REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO on the mother boad for multi channel playback options and I've downloaded those updated drivers again but that doesn't do anything.  Thinking it might be a hardware drive problem I purchased a new LG BLU-RAY DRIVE/BURNER super multi drive which plays fantastic for any video format from Blu-Ray to regular DVD format with the Power DVD software but the machine is causing even this new drive to have the same problem with the audio and it cuts out playing the audio disc within the same 63 seconds running audio disc. . There seems to be a software glitch and I'm wondering if you can help.  Also the sound card seems to work perfectly fine. I downloaded I-Tunes and copied over audio files to the computer via my flash drive and when I play those files from the hard drive, or even the sample windows media files which reside on the hard drive in MY MUSIC, all files play through perfectly, fully, and with great sound. Audio out jacks in back of computer work fine as also does the front head phone jacks upfront. Something in the software when playing a audio disc/file through the dic drives???? I've got hundreds of CD and it's a bummer not beng able to lay them through the system. Does anyone think moving from VISTA PREMIUM to a upgraded version like ULTIMATE or even going up to Windows 7 might solve problem??? What about the 32 bit verses 64 bit editions??? My system should be able to run in the 64 bit frame work also. THANK YOU in advance!!!

    Hi,
    All dimms work individually?  Did you run a bootable memory diagnostic to determine the reliability? Did you run a diagnostic on the hard drive?  I believe that your PC came with PC Doctor and that you can create a bootable diagnostic disk. Did you create that disk?  Be sure to purchase memory dimms from a manufacturer that will stand behind their product with a guarantee such as Crucial, Corsair or Kingston. Buy directly from the manufacturer and they will stand behind the guarantee. Be sure that all of the dimms are identical. Use CPU-Z to determine that the specifications are indeed identical.
    You have some options to consider once you can stablize your PC for updating the BIOS.
    Locate a hard drive and use the HP external recovery media to build a VISTA system. -- safest method
    Use a VISTA repair disk and at the command prompt try executing the HP BIOS update (Admin). -- safe
    Try a bootable BIOS update process as suggested at this site. --  less safe but doable

  • IPod will not install drivers on Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers. One computer connects to my 60GB iPod video just fine, while the other looks for drivers and then fails to find any. I get a window that pops up saying "Insert the disc that came with your iPod" after Windows searches for drivers. Because of this, the iPod does not appear in iTunes, nor does it appear in My Computer. I have tried performing a soft reset on the iPod (Menu/Center combo) which did not work. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes to no avail. This is a brand new Windows installation and I just can't figure out why it won't work. iTunes seems to work just fine in all other respects.
    I have also followed the steps in this article:

    Scroll down to the quote from WickedMX.
    Basically, C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore\Repository and look for a folder that starts with usbstor. You will probably have two different versions. Open the folder that is the newest version and then copy the files usbstor.inf and usbstor.PNF. Copy them to the C:\Windows\INF folder. Try installing your device(s) again and it should work like a charm!

  • Playing video in iTunes on laptop running Windows Vista

    I recently changed my computer. I now have an HP Pavilion running windows Vista (use to have XP). I have a video iPod -30GB. I downloaded iTunes onto the new equipment without incident, but that is the last thing that went smoothly.
    I can no longer watch TV shows or movies from iTunes. The video plays like a slide show of stills (the audio is real-time however). Eventually I will get an error message from Windows and it closes the application.
    I am also having issues with syncing my iPod and computer. I get a message requiring me to delete all of the content of the iPod and replace it with the contents of iTunes.I haven't done this -no trust and no backup
    This message is from iTunes. I suspect it is a security feature to prevent downloading to more than one iPod, as iTunes doesn't seem to 'know' my iPod anymore. Syncing has also caused iTunes to close and my computer to reboot. Has anyone else had these problems?
    Any suggestions ... short of throwing the Windows computer out of a window?
