Windows 7 Clean Install Elements 7 Install

I am going to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 with a clean install.
I will have a backup of my hard drive.
After I do the clean install of Windows 7 and install Elements 7 how do I get Elements 7 back to the way it was in Vista. I am particularly concerned about restoring all the Elements 7 tags.
Thanks,
Bob

If your photos reside on the C drive only, and you put your photos and catalog folder back to the same exact locations they had on your Vista system, then PSE 7 should be able to open the catalog just fine. Do Help > System Info in the Organizer to find the location of your catalog folder.

I had my hard drive cleaned and cannot install cs6 master collection from disk. I am getting error message failed to initialize. please download adobe advisor support. I am using a pc and have windows 8. Please help.

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

Yoga 2 Pro : BIOS Update on a clean Windows 8.1 Pro install

Hi,
I recently bought the Yoga 2 Pro. Like everybody I have the yellow problem.
After buying it, I reinstalled my computer with a fresh Windows 8.1 pro install.
I was wondering if anybody has already tried updating the BIOS on a clean Windows 8.1 install ?
And also if there is any reported bug with the BIOS update.
I already crashed a while back one of my previous computer and I would prefer if this don't append again
Thanks,
Best,

Not, i'm speaking about the BIOS update. The windows 8.1 pro installation was fine.

Clean Windows 8.1 Pro install over Windows 8.1 SL

Hi,
I have a Lenovo H520g desktop, which came with Windows 8 Single Language installed. The machine is currently updated to Windows 8.1 Single Language.
As I am a software developer, I need to use Windows 8.1 Pro, because the SL version doesn't have Hyper-V, which is necessary to run the Windows Phone SDK emulator.
For the reason explained above, I would like hear the advice of an official Microsoft representative on the matter discussed on this topic.
I do know I can update from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro by using the "Add features to Windows 8.1" item on the Windows 8.1 Control Panel and buying the Windows 8,.1 Pro Pack. Nevertheless, I prefer buying the full retail version of Windows 8.1
Pro on a DVD from a local Microsoft reseller. I need a quick way to restore my machine in the case of a HDD failure and having the full retail DVD is definitely the best way to do that. If I upgrade by buying the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack, should my HDD ever failure,
I'll have to do the Lenovo restore procedure (which would restore the computer to Windows 8 SL), then upgrade to Windows 8.1 and only after that I could apply the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack.
My question is: will I be able to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my computer? Of course I'm aware I'll have to delete the partition Windows 8.1 is currently installed on. No problem with that.
But what about the license key? I've read that computers that come with Windows 8 pre-installed have the Windows license key embedded on the BIOS. Will I be able to start the standard Windows 8.1 Pro installation from the DVD and use the license key that comes
with the DVD?
It's very important for me being absolutely sure I'll be able to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on my Lenovo desktop. The Windows 8.1 Pro full retail DVD is rather expensive here in Brazil (about US$ 320).
Cheers,

Hi PauloBR1,
If you upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro by Windows 8.1 Pro Pack,you can use
System Image Backup feature to backup your system.Also,you can use this feature to restore your system quickly.
In addition,britishdhez is right.
We can use the Retail license key to active the Windows 8.1 Pro.

Unable to install Elements 12 on Windows 8.1

When I try to install Elements 12 on Windows 8.1, the install fails. It says it needs DirectPlay, but according to Microsoft, that has been depricated. I'm caught in a vicious loop trying to get Elements 12 installed on my PC. What's up with that?

Sandeep,
I downloaded the file, but it will not open. It has a .dmg extension, and apparently I don't have the necessary app to unpack it.Help please.
Gary

CD Drive disabled after installing Elements 11 on Windows 7

I realized a couple of days after I installed Elements 11 on my Dell laptop running Windows 7 that the CD/DVD drive on my laptop was no longer visible to the operating system.   After fooling around for an hour trying to get a disc out, I remembered that I'd installed the Elements software & started looking for software solutions.
Many things I tried didn't work & I didn't want to start editing the registry as suggested by the Adobe knowledge base article I found.   However, Microsoft saved me with their Fix It tool.   Everything worked fine after I ran it and rebooted.   Note that the tool doesn't tell you to reboot.   The fix it tool can be found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us
I don't know what Elements 11 corrupted but I'm not happy that Adobe's quality control didn't catch it.   I've got a very vanilla laptop (Dell Studio) and I'm sure that other people are going to have this problem.

That's a system issue to do with your USB ports and similar stuff. What is the exact error? Have you checked your device manager and let it repair the USB drivers.

Trouble installing Elements 11 on Windows 8 64-bit

Are there any problems with installing Elements 11 on Window 8 - 64 bit?

Thank you. I think I;ll take your advice and buy the product. HOwever like you I really hope Windows 8.1 will solve many of the problems/issues that have been experienced or talked about since its launch!!
I've selected PSE 11 as I wasnt 'sold' on PSE 12 having recently read the article in the Photoshop magazine. Although it scored 91% there were still aq couple of megatives. And only being a beginner I didnt want to run before I can walk!!
Reagrds David.

I am using Windows XP and just installed Elements 12. When I try to select a different brush or shape the drop down list will not stay open long enough to select a different item. I have used Elements 9 for awhile and have not had this problem

It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
2. Delete Settings File
Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

Have Elements 10 installed and want to install Elements 12. Should this be a clean install or, install over Elements 10?

I presently have Elements 10 installed on PC running Windows 7 and want to install Elements 12.
Should I first remove version 10 then install version 12? Or, does it matter?
Thanks,

It doesn't matter whether you unistall it or not because PSE12 will install in its own folder and you will have access to both versions on the machine. In fact, it is a good idea to keep both versions for a short perioid until you get used to the new software. PSE12 has changed a lot from PSE10 in terms of look and feel.
Good luck.
