Elements 14 keeps crashing on downloading graphics

[triciah66]

Please Help, I'm trying to sort out a calendar via 'create' in Elements 14 and whilst it's allowed me to download various calendar formats and all of the layouts, everytime I try to download a 'Graphic' (bottom right corner of screen) whether it's a background, frame or graphic I get a 'Photoshop Elements 14 has stopped working and will close' message but when I reopen Elements it has actually done the download.  I'm running Windows 10 on an HP Pavilion

Please try the following solutions to resolve this problem:

Solution # 1

1. Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click ‘Reset Preferences on next launch’ button.
2. Click OK and relaunch the application.
3. Check if backgrounds and frames are getting downloaded properly.

If above solution does not work, please try solution #2 .Before deleting any content, make sure to take a backup of the same. Solution # 2

1. C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\14.0 and rename ThumbDatabase.db3 to ThumbDatabase_old.db3
2. C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\14.0\Locale\en_us and rename MediaDatabase.db3 to MediaDatabase_old.db3
3. Relaunch the application and wait for some time till application regenerate the databases.

Thanks,
