The installed, registered program says it can't run for some reason.

Hi Ed,

Please try resetting Editor preferences as suggested above and let us know if this fixes the issue.

Thanks

But when I attempt to run the program a box says that the program is not able to run right now and indicates it is looking for a solution--which stops--and the program doesn't run. What do I need to do?

Try this:

Reset Editor preferences once. To do so, launch Editor keeping Cmd/CTRL+Alt+Shift keys pressed and when prompted to delete the preference settings files, click 'Yes'.

Moving to Photoshop Elements​
