The photo editor wont load in Premier Elements 14 so I wanted to reload the program.  I have done a backup so if I reload then do a restore will the restore reinstate all my albums, etc.

Hi gary_broughton,

Sorry that you're having problems using Photo editor in Photoshop Elements 14.

Are you using Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements?

You may take a look at the steps mentioned in this article Launch issues in Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements, and Elements Organizer on Windows  and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash

I suppose you have made a backup from the organizer;  this will let you restore both the catalog and the pictures where you want, while keeping the links in the catalog to the new location of the restored picture files. A backup with another external tool will not keep the links in the catalog updated if you restore elsewhere.

However, if you have simply uninstalled and reinstalled PSE, your catalog and your pictures files are still there, you don't need to restore, the catalog is independent from the Elements software.

Cheers mate, thank you for the advice.
