WIN Elements 6.0 Not Launching

I have recently upgraded my laptop to a HP Pavilion dv5. elements 6.0 worked perfectly on my old one, but will not launch on this one. I am running windows Vista and have 193Gb free of 223 on my hard drive. It appears to be installing fine, the installation is completeing and asking me to restart, however upon clicking the shortcut / program in start menu / program in programme files, the cursor changes to show it is processing and then NOTHING. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled and runa repair. I have also tried disabling as much of my norton Security as I can before installing again. I am at a loss as to what else I can do to resolve this... does anyone have any ideas? I am in desperate need to get into it to complete my work!

Shanna,
You may need to install the licensing-service update:

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch from it's tile in windows 8

    Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch(open) from it's tile in windows 8,if I restart the computer then try it, it launches. but once I close the program and try to launch it agian from the tile it won't launch  (open)
    What going on ?

    You might unpin (Unpin from Start) the photoshop elements 10 shortcut from the start screen and then go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10 and right click on the PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and choose Pin to Start.
    And/or if you want an shortcut on the actual desktop you can use Send to>Desktop (create shortcut)
    Perhaps the shortcut directly to the pse 10 editor will work better when using the start screen.

  • Help Elements 12 will not launch

    Please help, Elements 12 will not launch..no problems with previous versions or Premeir Elements 12 or Lightroom 4.

    Hi Barbara,
    I'm running Win7, i7 precessor, plenty of RAM. I've purchased/upgraded from Elements/Premier 9,10,11 without issue..Since upgrading to Elements 12 the software opens sporatically at best. I've spent 15+hr's and $60.00 with Adobe Support and still not resolved. Cannot open PremierElements or Lightroom 5 either. Here's what happens..I click on the icon and the timer spins for 5 or 6 seconds and stops. This happens most often after my computer re-boots for maintenance. I've changed the permissions and thought it was fixed but after a week the same thing happens..I've unistalled and reinstalled more times then you can imagine.
    I do appreciate any help you can offer..works fine on my laptop runnning Win8
    Thanks,
    a very frustrated Mike

  • Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 on my Sony Vaio (windows 7 Home Premium 64bit). Whenever I launch it a License Agreement pops up and when I accept it
    the software does not launch. There is no application open in my Task Manager.
    I thought I would uninstall it and reinstall it but when I go to My Products page in Adobe I can see Photoshop Elements 8 as a
    product in use but I cannot download it.
    I installed Photoshop Elements 11 Trial version but have the same problem.
    Please help

    If Organizer fails to launch, try following steps –
    - Delete the Organizer preferences. For that, go to Start>Run>Type %appdata%. In the launched folder, browse to Adobe>Elements Organizer>11.0>Organizer- Delete the file psa.prf and status.dat.
    - Try re-launcing Organizer.
    Or
    It could be that your catalog got corrupted.
    To fix that, hold down your Shift key while launching the Organizer. This would open up the Catalog Manager. Highlight your catalog at the bottom of the window, and choose "Repair" and then "Optimize".
    If that does not work either, try renaming the following folders and then try launching the application again:-
    1) Online Services
    2) Elements Organizer
    These folders are present at :- C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
    Hope any of these work for you.

  • Photoshop Elements 4 will not launch

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 4 on my MacBook. Photoshop Elements 4 is a PowerPC app. (not Universal). From what I've read, it should open with Rosetta. But every time I try to open it, I get an error message: "The application Photoshop Elements quit unexpectedly." I've uninstalled and installed several times.
    I've tried going to File>Get Info so see if I could make this PowerPC app open under Rosetta, but that choice is not available under "General".
    Is there any way I can use this non-universal program in my intel-based Mac?
    I guess what I'm really asking is whether Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac (PowerPC) is supported by Rosetta (since it's not a universal application). If it's not supported, I suppose that means I can't use it on my intel-based MacBook.
    Thanks for the help.

    Barbara---
    I have had PE 4.0 running on my MacBook Pro 17" for about a year. Two days ago I tried launching PE 4.0 like normal and it fails. On the advice of Apple I tried creating a new account. The error message on install says a file is missing. It does not say which file. Installation continues until completed but PE 4.0 will not launch. I also trashed absolutely every Adobe file I could find, including preferences, repaired permissions, etc., reinstalled PE 4.0. Still no joy. I am running 10.4.9 with the last update about two weeks ago. PE 4.0 would lanuch and run fine until two days ago. Any suggestions?
    Thanks...

  • Any fix for why my photoshop elements 12 will not launch?

    Hi - had to get new computer after old one died... reinstalled (twice) Photoshop Elements 12 and now it will not launch.  When I click on icon, the first screen open allowing me to select between the Organizer and Editor.  When I click on Editor, nothing happens... never launches.  Seems this has happened to others, anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!! 

    Did you ever use Help> Sign In to activate it? Both entering a serial number and signing in are required (once signed in you don't ever sign out unless you want to deactivate the software).
    The advice here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452533?tstart=0 - should allow the software to restart so that you can activate it.

  • Edit function of Photoshop Elements 8 will not launch, suggestions?

    When the "edit" buttion is selected it simply times out/resets itself and will not launch the application however, the organizer still seems to be functioning.

    If PSE8 uses an Unwelcome Screen, bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

  • Elements 8 will not launch on my new imac.I

    I have just purchased an imac so new to this os and i bought elements 8 at same time ,however when the disc is inserted the icon appears in right hand top corner but the disc does not launch- any ideas????

    There is no auto run for the mac version. Double click the disk to open it. Double click Photoshop Elements. Double click Setup.

  • Elements 12 will not launch (either)

    I have been using Elements since version 3. It has been a great program - until version 10 arrived. It works, but not satisfactorily. If I quit the program it will not launch unless I reboot, and the welcome screen does not launch at all.
    Version 11 never worked. Task manager shows that it is loading, but nothing else happens. No error messages.The Editor seems to work, though, but the Organizer does not. So for a year I have been very frustrated, not being able to use the program I had paid for. Nevertheless I bought version 12, and hoped that this version would work. Bur so far I have had no success. The Editor launches, but the Welcome screen and the Organizer do not. I am using Win7 64 bit, 8 Gb ram. None of the suggestions in this forum have been to any help. So what do I do? Øivind

    I have tried different suggestions - especially to make PSE 11 to work. Deinstalling and reinstalling and running the organizer.exe file as administrator from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" (this works in PSE 10). There is no status.dat and psa.prf to delete, they were probably never created in PSE 11 and PSE 12. I have posted the log file from PSE 11 - it is very short:

    Something happens when "Begin AMT Library calls" is running in PSE 11 and 12. I do not know what this is, and no one have commented this in my earlier postings. I have been adviced to run a utility called " Adobe Creative suite cleaner tool", but I am afraid that it will remove my PSE catalog as well, and that would be very inconvenient. I have more than 40 000 photos in my catalog. Øivind

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch any longer in VISTA

    I have had PSE 10 for a year or 2 and never had a problem.  It was working on Friday, had a Java Update, then on Saturday PSE will not launch in Vista.  We have recovered the computer to a previous date and that did not work.  We uninstalled PSE and reinstalled and still will not launch.  Need to know what the fix would be to correct this.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks, Dean

    What isn't working? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? Can you launch either of the latter if you go into the program files and try directly from their .exe files?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 will not launch

    I get the message Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    I've tried suggestions on the web, and have got it to reopen such as holding down shift and CRTL at the same time as launching it, that worked once. I then make the mistake of closing the program, and then it won't relaunch.
    I've turned off my virus program, and it opened once. And then I closed it like a dummy.
    I've rebooted.
    Now, I'm stuck and have a deadline to meet.

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Premiere elements 12 does not launch, nothing happens

    I've been using Premiere Elements 12 a few weeks ago and it used to work fine but since yesterday I'm not able to launch it. I don't get any error message, just nothing happens.
    I tried to reinstall it, disable the firewall too, but nothing works I don't know what to do.
    I own a Dell Inspiron 15R, Windows 8 64bit, intel core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.30GHz.
    Any suggestions ?

    Mike
    After chloroform started this thread, soon afterward BillMMBill introduced similar issues. It gets confusing when more than one exchange of information is going on at the same time and user specific Q&A from more than one user is interwoven. Consequently, good idea to monitor the results in this thread, but it would probably be to your advantage to start your own new thread if you do not see answers in the thread we are in now going in your direction.
    I have been trying to weave in and out of chloroform and BillMMBill specifics.
    For now I would offer this
    a. Are you working with Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements?
    b. Have you read all the information in the links provided in this thread?
    c. Have you attempted to uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall the Adobe Reader if you suspect that its update is at the core of your problems?
    If you are dealing with version 12 (the latest version) and if problems defy resolution, you may want to contact Adobe via Adobe Chat to discuss the topic "Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up". Other choices might bounce you back to the forums.
    Contact Customer Care
    After the link opens, click on "Still Need Help. Contact Us." to bring up the Adobe Chat to discuss Premiere Elements Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up.
    If this is really a Photoshop Elements 12 based issue, then please check out the SLStore and SLCache Folder fix in
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/04/pe12-premiere-elements-12-editor-will.html
    That worked for me with for Photoshop Elements 12 Editor that would not open.

  • Premiere Elements 11 Does Not Launch

    Hello -
    I've recently installed Premier Elements 11 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I'm having a very similar problem to what the user in http://forums.adobe.com/message/5499536 has been going through. When going to Video Editor->New Project the app simply fails to launch. The thread referenced is painful to read with way too many possibilities for errors along the way. Is there a way to start things up in debug mode or in some other way so the program can tell us what's wrong? The guessing game is tough and knowing that things are fragile when there are changes to the system means this is an exercise that many will have to endure.
    Steve

    Let us go through this for your specific situation.
    Windows 7 64 bit. How much RAM do you have installed and how much free hard drive space? Overall what is the processor description, dual core,  ?GHz
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed? And, do you check permission, either running program from a User Account labelled for Administrative Priviledges or by right clicking the destop icon and selecting Run As Administrator?
    Have you been able to open any Premiere Elements 11 project on that Windows 7 64 bit computer to date?
    Rather than have you go through deactivate, uninstall, reinstall at this time, let us see what happens if you delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole folder in which it exists.
    Make sure that you are working with Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives selected.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Folder that you delete. And, if that does not do it, then delete the 11.0 Folder in which it is included.
    Another candidate for creating problems with the program is the antivirus program. See if disabling that in Action Center, has any impact on your Premiere Elements 11 performance on Windows 7 64 bit. Temporarily remove the check mark next to virus protection.
    It might be easier to go through the thread that you mentioned and work through the possibilities than it would be to do otherwise.
    Another prime candidate is the video card driver and whether or not it is update to date according to the information at the web site of the video card manufacturer.
    All quick enough to do in a systematic troubleshooting plan.
    Under Window Menu in the project, there is an Event category.
    And, there is an Adobe troubleshooting scheme using Logs to troubleshoot installation issues.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html
    See how you do on the above. Then, if you have not done it already, I would suggest that deactivate the program (in the project Help Menu/Deactivate), close the program, and then go the Control Panel route to uninstall the program. Then reinstall the program. All this with the antivirus and firewalls disabled for this time period.
    How did you do resizing that photos? Did your friend help you with that or is the meeting with the friend still to come. I ask since perhaps the friend could get a first hand look of the situation and perhaps from that perspective target the issue. If not, it is a process of going through the typical troubleshooting schemes  systematically to rule out or in what we can.
    Please take it one step at a time and let us see if we can work through this.
    Thanks.
