Issue
When you try to start the Organizer, Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 returns one of the following error messages:
-- "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime error program Photoshop Elements Organizer.exe. This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
-- "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library - Runtime Error! The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Details
You downloaded new creation templates and aborted the download, or the download was interrupted.
Solution: Delete the state.dat file.
Delete the state.dat file located at C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Adobe\Online Services\Photoshop Elements 4.0.0\clients\Photoshop Elements\sessions.
Background information
When the connection is dropped while you download new Online Services templates, the state.dat file becomes corrupted. This corruption causes a runtime error the next time you start the Organizer.
