Question

Photoshop Elements stopped working on installing Windows 10

I had my PC installed with Windows 10 and now Photoshop Elements 10 is unusable with a lot missing. The library appears to be there, but on opening a file to be edited you cannot edit it or close it down and have to summon the task manager to close it. You cannot make a new file and all the drop down editing, filters etc are missing.

I also have problems with other software with the fonts so do not know if it is also a problem with the fonts in Photoshop Elements that has caused this in Windows 10.

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... this says Encore, but is sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account) so follow the instructions, substituting the name and location of your specific program for Encore

As Photoshop Elements 10 was getting old I updated the software. However there were still problems with Windows 10 with other software that should have been compatible with windows 10. It appeared the shop/ computer experts had installed over the top of Windows 7, so they had to wipe it clean and do a clean install of Windows 10. I also had problems in locating a compatible BluRay Player as my old one too was not compatible, but all works well now.
