Several of the actions from coffee shop act like they are going to work, but then all of the steps don't work properly and when the action is done the photo looks like I stopped in the middle of processing it. Any ideas?? I have PSE5.0

For some reason, the actions that work for me in PSE 5 on Vista don't work on PSE 5 in XP. I have played and played with them to no avail.
I suppose Microsoft would be glad to know that there is at least one thing that works better on Vista!
So, Niddy, it's not you. The only thing I can suggest would be to upgrade.
I'm having the same probs with PSE 5.0 - it starts then comes up saying things like The object "Background" is not currently available, this is an example from the PowderRoom 2
also on HoneyRetro I get error messages The commans "Layer Via Copy" is not currently available. I so read up and make a duplicate from Layer and name it Layer 0. I also get error messages The object "...
@ Niddy, if you click the OK button on the messages they will continue to run and most times will give you what is intended or at least very close to what is intended.
I get these same errors on several different actions using a flattened image in PSE7 on Vista. Clicking through doesn't help either. Oh, it's driving me crazy!

Make sure you are starting with a flattened image that is called "Background". If it is not flat OR is named Layer 1 or something else, the actions won't always work. And renaming Layer 1 "Background" does not work! Just go to Flatten image and then start the action.
