Hi Folks, I’m running Elements 2 in OS10.2.6 I had the layers and file browser palettes disappear from the palette well. I tried restoring the preferences to default settings and re setting palettes to default positions and restarted No good. Any recommendation on how to restore the missing palettes. If I have to re install Elements is there an Uninstall option anywhere? Or do just hunt down all the pieces with the finder?

Thanks

Paul

Paul,

Can you get the two palettes to open up by using the Window menu?

If so, once that palettes are open, click the "More" button in the upper right corner on each, and see if "Close Palette to Palette Well" is selected…. If it is not, then closing the palettes will not show their tabs in the well.

If that’s not it, then post back.

HTH,

Paul,

I suspect that you may have clicked on the icon at the far right hand side of the individual palettes (more) then clicked on "close to palette to pallette well". This in fact is the option to set if you want them in the well or not …. if its ticked they go back there if its not they don’t.

To put them back all you should need to do is Window>Reset Palette locations.

If that doesn’t work and you need to re install then you do have to hunt down the individual files as there isn’t an Uninstall. I had to do it the other day and it wasn’t too bad.

Hope you sort it out

Thanks, Byron and Wendy. I had to delete Elements and ran in a problem installing it again. It will not accept the regestration code eventhough it’s correct. So I’m stuck for now.
