Layer Styles don't work!! Help!!!

Everything was fine previously. Now, suddenly, none of my Layer Styles work. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but still nothing. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened???

Could it be related to my video driver?

I think that the first thing you should try is deleting the prefs file:

To do that close down Elements then click on the start up icon (Editor start up) and quickly hold down the Control, Alt and Shift keys (If you are a Mac user Apple, Alt and Shift). Continue to hold down all three keys until you get a screen asking if you want to delete Settings ... just say Yes.

Do let us know how you go on :)

Wendy,

Yes, I think that did the trick! Thanks very much.

One more thing -- since uninstalling and reinstalling the program, I now have doubles of all the Layer Styles options in my drop-down list:

Bevels
Bevels
Drop Shadows
Drop Shadows
etc.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Karen

Never mind -- I found all the duplicate folders and deleted them. All OK now. Thanks anyway!

Hi Karen,

Glad that deleting the prefs worked OK ...

Its worth making a note of how to do it as when Elements does strange things its the first thing to try :) it tends to work in a lote of cases.
