scrappinchar Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The UPS man just dropped off a package for me. I guess I should do something with it. I have opened it. It is quite lovely. It is a shiny new box holding a perfectly new copy of PSE7!!! The laptop is wondering when I am going to install it. Me too. lol Maybe I should read something first. If it has something to read that is. Lisa, should I look for any instructions first? lol Yeehaw!!!!! I hope the PSE4 on my desktop doesn't get jealous.

mbc72 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I am interested to hear how the transition goes. I got PSE 7 for Christmas (I currently use PSE 4) And we are getting a new computer this weekend, so I will be checking mine out next week, so any helpful tips would be appreciated. Good luck and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiakMama Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 have fun! Make sure you get Add-O-Matic too so that you can easily install styles, actions and brushes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well...this isn't going as planned. I installed it. Twice I've gone to start it up. I click on the edit option. It pulls up the workspace or whatever it's called, then I get this message: Adove Photoshop Elements (Editor) has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. With the only option: Close Program. WHY ISN'T IT WORKING???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah in VA Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 First of all. Step away from the computer and calm down ;-) This happens. Not to worry. Since you've not used the program go ahead and do as Lisa suggested if there is a repair feature on the disk. If it happens again, go to your Control Panel, Choose Programs and Features (It was Add and Remove in XP) and delete PSE 7. Restart your computer and reinstall from the disk. You may want to do another Restart before you try the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Okay, I didn't throw the new laptop or PSE7 disc out the window or anything. lol I didn't see a repair option. I uninstalled it. Then reinstalled it. I think it's working now. Phew! I have maybe 12 pictures of the boys on the computer...I pulled one up in the software. Seems to let me move it around and such. Phew, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaL Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 See! I knew you could do it! Good job!!! You rock! Now get to scrappin! We are all waiting a LO...no pressure though. We will come back tonight to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 You're too funny. I'm trying to play with it...between children, my DH, and the layer masks class tonight. I doubt there will be a layout anytime soon! lol I've got to get my supplies moved over. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah in VA Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hooray for Charlene! You're on your way! PS: When you begin adding styles, brushes and actions from your stash, and you have to delete your ThumbsDatabase.db3 file from your files so that it can rebuild the database and have your styles and actions show up in the right spots, don't be surprised if this happens again. Sometimes, it just slips a cog! If it does, just take a deep breath, go back to the Control Panel, uninstall PSE 7 and reinstall again. I've had to do this several times, but now I believe (and hope) I have a stable system. You can always uninstall and reinstall! Now I want to see that layout!

Ugh, don't tell me all that. lol I'm in the process right now of putting my supplies on DVDs from the desktop and putting them on the laptop. I should already have my supplies on DVDs (yes, I know this) but I got lazy and trusted Carbonite to be my backup. At least now I'll have my on-hand back up (the DVDs.) I guess I'll be doing a major search on the message board for the posts that explain all about installing the styles and actions or what-have-you with PSE7 and Vista. Unless someone (you?) who is "in the know" wants to put it right here in this thread for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargotW Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Funny thing - I used PSE7 for a few months and yesterday morning. Last night I got the message that Photoshop Editor stopped working. I had to do the same thing, uninstall and then reinstall. It seems to be working now. I have a ton of styles installed so I copied my styles to my download area then after I reinstalled PSE7, I deleted the thumbs database and the layers folder and copied my saved styles folder so all my styles were there. I have the styles folder in my EHD but was too lazy to get up and get it! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
