![]() ![]() I have registered it years ago, this is on my second comp as the first is dyeing, so it was functioning on this one for the last 3 months. It started about 2 months ago by asking me to sign in to adobe everytime i started the program, ok so I started signing in, (i figured it was a security update) then it upped the anti by then telling me to verify my serial number starting last month, ok i inputted that (what a pain to sign in AND input the 16 digits serial number each time!) then now after 2 months of this nonsense it says I am not connected to the internet and as such it won't open my software. I had 1 month of it running fine on this comp. Hello my copy I have owned and used for maybe 8 ish years is now malfunctioning. cannot try the first comp as its dyeing so i have however used this comp for 3 months with this software and it was working. This is second computer i have program installed on. Previously running on this computer no problem (1st month fine before first issues popped up) Personally owned copy of PS elements 14, owned for about 8 years I used to be passionate about editing my pictures using Photoshop (and later Photoshop Elements) but now, I hardly ever touch them.I am adding a lot of DETAILED info, please read it all before answering with generic things that i have already done. It's important not to make the mistake I made at first be sure to adjust the properties of the executable "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" in the 'root' program files folder, and not the executable "Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022.exe" in the sub-folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2022\Elements Home". The combination of these things finally resulted in 'normal' looking menus, and other elements within the program. There, click 'Change High DPI Settings', and then finally, in the 'High DPI Scaling Override' section, choose 'override. right click, choose properties, and then the 'compatibility' tab. Then, in File Explorer, go to the program files location for the editor itself - "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2022" and locate the file ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe’. The trick is, in PE, to go to 'Edit / Preferences / Display and Cursors', then in the High Density Displays section, set 'UI scale factor' to 'small - 100%'. I know that some of their software works well at 100% and 200% scaling levels, but not so well at in-between scaling levels.Īfter a whole day of searching, I did find a fix that worked. So you either have to have monster text that takes up way too much room, or miniscule text that can hardly be read! This is 2022, and high DPI displays have been around for years now I can't believe a mainstream company like Adobe is still not dealing well with it. And as you get into using the tools within PE, many of the dialogs have text that is almost unreadable. The entries in the drop-down are actually quite reasonably sized, but the main menu row at the top (File/Edit/Image/etc) is virtually unreadable. They offer a setting specifically for 'High Density' displays (as they call them), and if I choose the only other alternative, I get this (3rd set of menus on the right): ![]() But Adobe Photoshop Elements shows huge menu entries this is how it compares with Notepad: ![]() Every app so far has dealt with this decently everything simply looks 'normal'. Have others successfully installed older versions of PE on Win 11?Īlso, I have to say, Adobe STILL can't seem to get high DPI scaling to work properly on Windows! My system has a native resolution of 2560x1600, and I'm scaling it at 175% (my eyesight is not great). Since I'm new to this system, and haven't yet had to deal with backups, restores, I decided not to risk it and purchased a new copy of PE (2022 version). My normal instinct would be to ahead, and turn off the setting, but I did a bit more searching and came across several reports of people bricking their systems due to installing older versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements on Win 11, like this one. Article tells you how you can turn off Memory Integrity, but also warns of possible dire consequences. A bit of research suggests - "You are receiving this message because the Memory integrity setting in Windows Security is preventing a driver from loading on your device". I tried to install it on my new LG Gram 17 / Win 11, and after the installation completed, I launched the program and got an error saying the application could not run - "A driver can't load on this device" (a driver was mentioned but sadly I didn't write it down). Does the job for me so didn't want to upgrade, and it works fine on my Windows 10 daily driver. I have an old version of Adobe Photoshop Elements - version 14. ![]()
