    Hello. I am having these same problems and was thrilled to see there might be a fix. However I can’t seem to get it to work. I have pse 11 and it opens with a screen that asked you to choose either “Organizer” or “Photo Editor”. Is this where I should hold down the keys? Or after I choose “Photo Editor?” I really want this to work. lol Please help. Thank you.Paula

      You need to hold those keys nearly at the same time you launch the program. Keep them helped down until after it opens to see the message.

    Will this lose all of my custom brushes? I seem to lose them easily :/

    Help! I just did this as my PSE was acting super slow and now all my actions and brushes are gone. Do I have to load up everything again!? Ugh, In the middle of client edits.

      Keys held as you start up – immediately. Do not let go of them till the message appears. If you wait, you will not see the message and you will need to try again.
