Acrion in PSE 5

[Eos]

I have downloaded a free action --Flower action by Lorene Hill...link here
http://digitalscrapdesigns.com/digitalscrapstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=785

I really have a problem to run this action.
I get message for example "can' t find layer one" and i have to choose stop or go on.
I press go on and then comes a new message that something else is missing.
I really want that action to be ok.
Can you tell me what' s wrong......why do i get message that layers is missing.
Most of the tim there is no problem with actions but this problem i have now is sometimes coming up in other actions too.

Thank you for your welcome.
I' m so glad i found this forum for Photoshop Elements.

Yes i start with a blank file open.

Now i have tried once again....but with the same result.
This is whaten happens:
---I open a new image transparent
---I klick on "Baby Flower"
---The action starts
In the layer palette i see this:
Layer 1 copy 4
Layer 1 copy 3
layer 3 copy 2
layer one copy Layer 1

Now i get a message "layer 1 copy 3 is not avaliable.
I can chose to click stop or go on.
I click go on and then comes more messages with layers that can' t be avaliable.

I assume you're using running your PSE 5 on XP?

There are many actions I have seen that have issues running on PSE 5. I was able to create a work-around for only one of them. Look for the "Weird XP Glitch" section here on my blog page: http://digitalphotographyformoms.net/photoshop-elements-help/installing-actions-in-photoshop-elements/installing-actions-in-pse-5-in-xp/.

But like I said, there are quite a few actions I haven't been able to run on PSE 5 that work in PSE 4, 6 & 7.

And I just can't figure out what would be different!

Just out of interest I got hold of this action and ran it in PSE6. I chose my colours first, ran the action and it worked fine. Here's what it looked like:

I never had version 5 so can't try it out for you.....

Hello again

Now i have tried this "Weird XP Glitch".
But the program stop me when i'm trying to rightclick on the error-layer
i mean i can' t click on the layer...the program says "Bip"....hope you understand what i mean.:)
The only choise i have is to click stop or go on on the little message-square that appears.
