Any advice on curing a "hang-up" behavior that Photoshop Elements 3 has recently started displaying on my Mac iBook G4, OS 10.3.9?

I can Open it normally, but

— Can’t open any images: File >> New and File >> Open menu items are grayed out

— Can’t check preferences of Quit: Apple >> Prefs and Apple >> Quit menu items are grayed out

I can open an image using the File >> Browse Folders command, edit it successfully, and do a successful Save As; but then

— Can’t close the image: File >> Close grayed out, no red close button

— Can’t quit: Apple >> Prefs and Apple >> Quit still grayed out

Can do a Force Quit, and edited image seems to be there OK.

Found and deleted a Photoshop Elements .plist file. On next run, the New and Open menu commands may have been back (not sure), but same behavior as above soon return.

Advice? — Thanks.
