Photoshop Elements 5.0.2 and Windows Vista Email

I tried to get some information from the Adobe web site forums and gave up in disgust. I could not figure out how to post a problem!! Anyway, I have Photoshop Elements 5.0 installed on a Vista Ultimate PC. I have downloaded and installed the 5.0.2 patch for VISTA 32 bit. Everything seemed ok until I tried to send a photo using the E-Mail feature. It appears Photoshop Elements 5.0.2 was still trying to use Outlook Express! I got a message saying it could not find an Outlook Express program MSOE.DLL. This happened on at least two different attempts. However, while writing this request I tried to repeat the problem so I could get the exact error message wording and like magic it now works correctly. I sure I’m not the only one that has had this "problem". Does Photoshop heal itself?!! What the heck is going on? Curious.

I have new information on my PhotoShop Elements 5.0.2 E-Mail problem. The reason it worked when I was posting to this newgroup was because I had "Vista" Windows Mail open while I sent a test E-Mail. If Vista Mail is not open I get the error message "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded". I looked in the registry and Windows Mail is there under…HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Clients>Mail>Windows Mail. Adobe, if you are out there I still need HELP!

Yes, that is exactly what happens to me only I am using PSE 6.0 It will only work if my email client is already open.

Thanks for telling me 6 has the same problem. I was going to buy yet another release of PhotoShop Elements hoping Adobe had addressed the problem. Have you tried contacting Adobe? I would think almost everyone running Vista has the problem – maybe they just don’t know it!

No, I have not tried contacting Adobe as yet.
Maybe the problem is that since Vista has a lot more security built in, it won’t just let any program open another program on the fly. Dunno. Anyway, I’ like 6.0 a lot. I just have to remember to have Windows Mail already open in order to send from it. Minor inconvenience IMHO.

I have PE 5. I can email a photo even when Windows Mail is closed. Are you are using Norton or McAfee AV?

No. But I suspect the problem maybe related to having multiple E-Mail clients in the Vista registry. I have two entries Hotmail and then Windows Mail – in that order. What do you have in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Clients>Mail that allows your setup to work correctly?

I have multiple E-Mail clients in the Vista registry as well. Hotmail, Windows Live and Windows Mail – in that order.

Under mail the key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail

Under Windows Mail the key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Windows Mail
