PSE9 editing Defaults

[harolds85837534]

I recently said yes to open in edit mode.  Since then, evverything in my workspace  doesn't work the same.  HOW do I reset  back to how it was before.  I tried deleting PSE9 and reloading it, but it comes back the same way.  How do I fix this. I am in the middle of a big project, with a due date, and I can't work with it the way it is now.
If I buy PSE15 and download it, will it keep the old settings or will it start fresh?

Hi Harold,

Please try after resetting the preferences of editor. For this:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately while launching the Photoshop Elements editor.  A dialog will come , click Yes to delete the file.

You can try PSE15 for one month simultaneously . For this you need not to uninstall/delete PSE9. For new features in PSE15, please checkout this page

What's new in Photoshop Elements 15

or you can upgrade to PSE15, it will not keep old settings and it will be a fresh start.
