I've just installed Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a new laptop and have registered as well. Unfortunately there is the error message "could not locate remote server...".
Ignore that message.

I can't save files as png. Other file types like jpeg, tiff, pdf and so on. I really need to work with pngs though. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
Are you clicking the drop down box?
If you go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0\Plug-Ins\Editor Only\File Formats
do you see a
PNG.8BI
listed?
This screenshot is from windows xp, but since your most likely using a windows x64 bit version your path will be slightly different.
If you go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0
and double click on the
PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
do you still get the "could not locate remote server" message?
Thanks again for trying to help me! Yes, I do have PNG listed under plugins file formats. It looks like this:
When I double click PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe I still get the "could not lokate remote server message. It looks like this:
When I want to open png files, png is not listed in the drop down menue.
When I right click a png file and go to open file with photoshop elements 5.0 there is an error message telling me that this file format can't be opened. In the Adobe help center for photoshop elements 5.0 png is listed as a supported file format. I really don't know what to do.
This error message appears when I open the programme.
When I want to open a png file with photoshop elements 5.0 I can't see png files. So when I want to open a png like this
there is the following error message and the file can't be opened:
I can't save files as pngs as well 😞 This option not in in the drop down menue.
Dear R_Kelly, first of all I'm SO thankful, that you're still trying to help me: THANK you very, very much! As you've mentioned, the png plugin is there and in the handbook/user manual (both, in the printed version and in the digital version on the CD) it says that photoshop elements supports png files.
So I'm really at a loss, why it doesn't work and still think there must be a way to solve the problem. When I read your tip on what to try, I was hopeful again. So I did everything you suggested - first I uninstalled the programm, then I deleted the Photoshop Elements 5.0 folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe and emtied my bin, after that I restarted the computer. Then I put the installation CD into the computer and wanted to run the installer as administrator. When I right clicked the installer there was no option to run as administrator.
But there was this option when I right clicked the setup icon. So I ran the installation as administrator.
I installed and registered the software. Then I restarted the computer and opened photoshop elements. But there was the same error message again "could not locate remote server...."
I thought maybe opening png files would work nevertheless, but When I go to "open file" and choose a folder with pngs in it, it says that there are no files
I was so hopeful that running the installation as administrator would do the trick and make the programme work properly. Unfortunately it still doesn't work 😞 But big thanks for your support and your suggestions! Maybe there's still a way to fix the problem? I'd really wish to be able to work with this old version of photoshop elements!
