Photoshop Elements 15 Editor stopped working

[CarolBari]

Recently installed Elements 15 on a pc.  Was trying to edit a photo and got this message 3 times:

Photoshop Elements 15 Editor

Photoshop Elements Editor 15 has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Tried calling help line - referred to adobe.com/getsupport - not able to get ph no or answer.

Can anyone help?

I don't have Web Companion...I am getting frustrated.  I have a trial version, I like it, but I can't buy it if it keeps on quitting. 

[anweshac54391914]

Sorry for the inconvenience Judith.

Can you please attach Event Viewer logs of elements crash here.
We will then be able to guide you through the exact steps to resolve the issue.

On how to get error logs through event viewer, please see Photoshop Elements Editor Help | How to Find Crash Logs on Windows​

Thanks,

I have had this problem  a number of times, particularly when I want to print some items. I have now found that there is probably a  "bug" in the item, particularly when it is a saved item.  I have found that if you redo the item from scratch, delete the original item, then it seems to print without problem even after saving it.   I do a lot of illustrated cards and had this problem with Adobe 11 got fed up as could not find a solution anywhere,  so upgraded to 15

and when I realised the same items still caused this problem in 15, I did an experiment with reloading and reworking the item and hey presto No Problem  and I probably needn't have spent the money on 15.  I tried several times to print the offending item and even reloaded photoshop 15 and it still happened.   so ditch the problem item!!

Hope this helps.

I've had similar problems. I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements in December 2020, now its January 2021 and the Photo Editor in the software has stopped working. Been on Adobe site several times and downlaoded again, but still Photo Editor does not work. Adobe site of little use all they want to do is sell you stuff. Probably the best solution is to buy some other photo editing software off another company, which I've done. I will never buy anymore software off Adobe.
