I had to reinstall Photoshop Elements 9 recent (it's on an old win8.1), and it keeps putting the panels into a weird compressed state?  Every time I boot up the program, I have to reset the panels even though save panel placement is on.

At the top under "Window" are the appropriate panels checked?

I think there is also a provision to reset the panels. Perhaps if you click on this and start from scratch you  can nest the panels to suit.

They are all checked, which is the weird thing about it. Resetting the
panels is the only way I can have all of the panels open but it reverts
back to collapsed when I open the program later on.

Suggest that you reset preferences to default:

  • Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
