I am having the following problem. Since installing windows XP, PE 2.0 periodically crashes when opening. I will get the message Adobe Photoshop Elements has encountered a problem and needs to close" Based on some information I found here I set the option to check for updates over the internet to never but that has not fixed the problem. Based on some other troubleshooting information I renamed the preference file. That temporarily fixes the problem.. If I rename or delete the preference file the program will then start but if I exit and restart I then get the same error message. I don’t know if this just a coincidence but since installing XP I have been unable to see the directory tree in the upper left pane. I find when the program crashes the directory tree does appear briefly before the crash.
I can fix the problem for a time by uninstalling and reinstalling but this is getting tiresome. I cannot seem to use the program for more than a week without having it crash.
