Any idea how to do that?

Thanks! Amy

Hi Amy,

You could try the suggestion from this previous thread to see if it works for you:

If not, you'll probably have to reinstall.

Good Luck.

Diana

Rebuilding the database should restore the bevels layer styles ... did you try that ??

I tried to follow the instructions in this post, but got stuck. Maybe because I'm using Vista? Thanks so much!

1 - Shut down Elements

2 - Go to (assuming XP) c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\en_US

(If you aren't in the US, use the appropriate Locale)

Note that the "Application Data" is a hidden directory, so you will have to enable "Show hidden files and folders" in the Folder Options in order to be able to see it.

3 - You should see a file named MediaDatabase.db3. Rename the file to something else, such as MediaDatabase.old

4 - Restart the Elements Editor. You will see it rebuilding the database. After a while, all things should be back to normal.

I've gotten as far as the en_US folder, but there is no file named mediadatabase.db3. I did turn on "Show hidden files and folders, but nothing changed.

Hi,

If you have Vista, look for the mediadatabase.db3 in this path:

C:\ ProgramData\ Adobe\ Photoshop Elements\ 6.0\ Locale\ en_US\
