Glad that I am not the only one. I have the message on the forum since Dec 10,2010 with 30 reads but 0 answer. I wish both of us luck.

I am also having the same CAHeadless Debug error on PSE 9.

Switching catalogs does not help.

Turning off face recognition does not help.

I have looked through the forums and on the internet and it seems that this is a common problem for PSE 7, PSE 8, and now PSE 9.

Does anyone have a solution?

What do you guys expect ? I have the same error, besides others, Tried the same like you guys, did not help  After 30 yrs IT, I think I have rarely seen such an obsolete, unintuitiv and error prone product. Especially this organizer is a pain in the behind.  Fit's my feelings about Adobe products as such.

Are there video files in your catalog? You can switch of AA by going to preferences and uncheck the option to analyze files automatically.

Yes, there are video files, but I have the analyze off already.

I have the same problem on my system, but it seams to be soved according to the instructions of Mr. William Mahar.

- Also a problem for me in the same connection is, that if I open a file of 2011, the PSE shows up with files of 2009. I thought it could be also a problem of the media analaysis. I shut them off in the preferences, but this problem still occurs.

- An other problem is that I can't download Adobe Help since several days, even a fortnight. My PSE9 has been delivered with the help files of PSE8. Up to now I have not found any answer in a forum

I am getting the CAHeadless error with the number at the end being

409 instead of 410.  Has anybody been able to cure this problem.  I am

becoming frustrated as many ae with poor Adobe support. I don't like getting on the phone and waiting forever to talk to some dolt who doesn't help.

Thanks for the help.  I tried to follow the link to find his advice but was not successful.  What might I be doing wrong.

Same problems and then system freezes. it

is frustrating when working on limited time to have to keep restarting

I got a similiar message which I thought used words "headless bug" but it was probably debug.

I more often get the following whenever I go to create a new album in the Organizer:

"A problem occurred while loading this album template. An auxilliary file may be missing or damaged. Please reinstall the application to correct the problem."

Then I click OK and I can go ahead and create the album. So everything still works but why does this meaningless message appear up every time???????????????????????

I think I solved the problem...

Try this: Go to your C:\ drive and then the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\Catalogs -

Remove all remaining folders inside the Catalogs file (or just drag them out to your desktop)

Open Elements and then the Organizer -

A window opens and tells you to enter a new Catalog.

Do so in another place, like another drive... (I tried one on the C:\dive and got the same message.)

That's it...

No further problems for a few weeks now. Looks like that's it...!!

choice

yes it worked

Same with me! Organizer is screwing up and getting those errors are a pain in the ***. I see people are saying make a new catalog. Going to try that. Hopefully this glitch gets solved. While the organizer is handy at times...I get pissed off wondering  ....hmm is today the day that my pics all poof into the Glitched Organizer Zone. Thanks everyone for the info about Creating new catalog. Going to try that.GL to everyone with the same issue.

If you have yourself set up as a normal user (as opposed to an adminstrator) in Win 7 or Vista you may want to try disabling any PSE autostart programs and then use the "run as administrator" to run PSE. This has the unfortunate effect of undoing the security you gained by creating and using a non-administrator user. It has the positive effect of allowing poorly written (from a security point of view) programs to run with fewer errors. (This 'trick' works with many programs, Adobe are far from being the only company who have taken shortcuts with user permissions with coputer programs.)

Apologies, if I sound irritated, I have spent a large part of today fighting ridiculous erros in PSE (eg Organizer decided to refuse to refuse to import pictures because it 'did not support their colorspace'. The fact that the other 130 odd photos I took at th esame event with the same camera and camera settings was seemingly irrelevant. I was also having problems with deleteing photos from PSE Organizer because 'the file is open in organizer'. Finally, I sent a photo to the editor for editing and could not save the file to th esmae filename because, yes you uguessed it,  'the file is open in organizer'.

I have over 37,000 photos in Organizer, and the thought of having to import and tag them again is pretty muc the only thing stopping me from tossing PSE and using an alternative.

Wow, I just looked at the stats for this more closely, 9,510 views since PatrickDyer44 posted the initial query on 7/31/12! 

The next highest number of view I saw for a discussion in my quick glance through the first few pages was 308. I guess this CAHeadless really is causing a problme for a lot of people. With luck Adobe monitor these forums and act issues that seem to affect large numbers of people.
