Running of PSE8 Organiser

May 9, 2012 5:06 AM

Tags: #pse8 #organiser

Hi everyone,

 

I have PSE8 and when I click on Organiser it thinks for a while and then nothing.

 

I have tried deactivating and reloading with no luck. I have tried accessing via Edit also with no luck.

 

There have been a number of proposed solutions on the forums whcih I have also tried.

 

Any suggestions?

    Was it working previously and has now stopped working?  If you just installed the Photoshop Elements 8 do you receive an error while installing?

    Was working fine before.

     

    Then stopped working so I have tried all fixes since including re-installing and deactivating etc.

    Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Elements forum.  The users in this forum should be able to help you troubleshoot your Photoshop Elements 8 application itself.

    Can you give us a detail or two about what you tried?

     

    And maybe if you get around to it, let us know what operating system.

     

    In fact, the more details the better at this point ... if you don't mind.

    Running Windows 7

    After not working and trying to access via edit I reloaded PSE8 with and without deactivating.

     

    In the forums there was a comment about renaming the file yet I could not find out where to do that.

     

    I'm not very technically minded which might not help.

    Hold down your Ctrl+Shift keys when clicking on the icon to start the Organizer, and keep the keys held down until the Catalog Manager window opens.  Then create a new catalog, giving it a completely different name, like

    NewCatalog

     

    Let us know if you can then launch the Organizer.

    Hi Ken,

     

    had tried this before and now just again.

     

    It thinks for a little longer, however even after 3 mins no Catalog Manager window.

    OK, you said that PSE was once working.  What changes did you make to your system?  Did you un-install or install any software?  Install a new printer or update the printer driver?
