My Editors will not open

Question

I have happily used PSE8 for many years now, and know it will shortly be time to change & update, but want to put it off till the autumn, when I will get a new computer.

I have just installed the massive new Windows update lasting many hours, which has resulted in me losing 10 years of my address book on email but also my editing options will no longer open from Organizer. I receive an Error Message 150:30 and to contact Adobe Support for help. I tried restart as suggested to no avail. So help. Thanks.

I have only seen that error message for a Mac before

Owners of old programs simply have problems with Windows 10... none of which is Adobe's fault... Adobe did not change your old program to make it stop working... Microsoft changed their operating system and THAT is why your old program won't work, not because of anything Adobe did... Also... every time Microsoft issues a Win10 update, there is the risk that an old program that HAS been working after the initial Win10 upgrade will STOP working... bottom line, old programs require a matching old operating system

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10

-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

-or more on permissions https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2293598
