Photo Editor Won't Open

Suddenly, I cannot open the Photo Editor in my Adobe Photoshop 2024.  I attach the two messages I am receiving.  I see no way to “designate a DLL” like they say I’m supposed to.

This is a known bug with the Photoshop Elements 2024.2 update on the Windows side.

 

See this thread here for a temp solution until Adobe issues a new update:

Thanksl.  I'll try that.  I spent 3 hours this morning on chat with a tech.  He uninstalled and then reinstalled Elements 2024 and finally got it to open.  I edited one photo but then I had to leave.  Before I could get back to editing, my Outlook Express froze and I had to restart the computer - which closed Elements down.  Now, when I tried to reopen, I got the same messages and it won't open AGAIN.  The tech told me to contact microsoft support and tell them it's a Microsoft configuration file error.  I just spent a fruitless hour trying to get to Microsoft support for this problem.  It's driving me crazy!

Moved from the Download and Install forum to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Do you meet all of the system requirements for Photoshop Elements? I found this thread that suggests the error appears if your system does not meet the system requirements: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-error-at-loading-of-ippcv-library/idi-p/12420457
