When using photoshop elements 10, it opens and then the message "Application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" appears. It then shuts down. How can I fix this?

    Try deleting the preferences file. 

    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.

    If that doesn't work, you may have to uninstall/reinstall the program.
