However, after having done so I am still having the same problems. Several people told me to uninstall the Adobe program from my computer and re-install it.
If I try to open View and Organize Photos, the program also freezes and says that it failed to launch the Catalogue. If I try to open the Edit and Enhance Photos feature, the program freezes up on launch (where it says reading preferences) and does not open. However, since yesterday I can no longer access my program. I was at first able to run the program and access my Catalogue through running the Trouble Shooter and selecting Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (or 3). I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 on my new laptop and have had nothing but trouble. When I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 I was running it on Windows Vista Home Premium, but have since upgraded to Windows 10. I am having trouble running my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 on my new laptop.
