My setup is an XP pc with P3 equivalent processor, 512meg RAM and lots and lots of disc space.
3.0 has been working perfectly for several months until yesterday when initially it stopped, telling me I had insufficient RAM. Ok, I checked various monitors and seemed to have plenty, and no other major programs were running, but rebooted and right away that message was repeated when I tried to open 3.0.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. I then removed Elements references that I could find in registry and tried to reinstall, but could not. I got an error message that said "please install the disc: 1". After running every utility I have, checking for viruses, spyware, and doing a restore to an earlier date I tried to install and this time around got what I was told was a complete process. But when I looked at the main Elements directory, only the main program exe and one or two other files was there. Other folders seemed full. Uninstalled and reininstalled. Same thing happened. So there’s where I am at the moment. I have seen some advice on installing from HD, but want to get some feedback on what my problems might be. Every diagnostic I’ve run suggests my hardware is ok, and the computer is running smoothly. Just to test it out I uninstalled a very heavy utilities program and reinstalled it and it is working perfectly. I desperately want to avoid a reformat or going out and getting an expensive restoration program.
Advice welcome. I suspect there is something in my registry clogging things up, but I am not an expert. Incidentially, I tried installing from three optical devices, and
a backup copy which had worked once before. I apologize if this problem has been addressed fully in the forum.
Thanks very much.
