Adobe CS3: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and Flash (Not opening)

Hi,
I have had the adobe creative suite suite 3 Deisgn premium for over an year now.  Recently over the past 2 months I am no longer able to open up any of the following programs:
Photoshop
Dreamweaver
Illustrator
Flash
They have worked for me in the past but now they are just not opening up for me.  I have tried plenty of things such as:
Uninstalling the whole cd then reinstalling
Calling customer service
Browsing/googling for ways to fix it
Yet I still have been yet to get this issue resolved.  I have tried installing the CS4 30 day trial and that works fine.  But I want my CS3 version to work.  I tried everything.  The thing is I do not get an error message either on the these so there is no way of titling this issue.  If it helps I have windows vista.  Well please let me know what you come up with .  My email is [email protected]  Thank you!

What does happen?     When I double click on them nothing happens for a second it gives me the loading signal but nothing comes up.
You say no error message - how far in the boot process does the program get?  Does it just not respond at all?  Does the program load-box appear and freeze?  Does the program load-box appear and dissapear?  Does the computer freeze up in the middle of the load?
           You never end up seeing anything for any of the applications except for photoshop which loads but then closes right away.  So it just doesnt respond at all.  But there is no freezing.  So the load-box only appears and dissapears when I open photoshop. but for everything else it just never appears.
Does the process display in your processes list?  
            No it does not display
Did you install/uninstall/delete anything around the time this started?
I'm pretty sure I didnt uninstall or install anything around the  time it started.  I think I would remember if it did.  So i'm pretty sure I did not.
Did you try going back to a restore point before this started?  No I did not.
Have you run a thorough virus scan?  Yes I have and nothing comes up.

  • Just upgraded machine, Dreamweaver and Flash not working

    I've been using Dreamweaver MX and Flash MX on my old Power Mac G5 for the last 5 years and just upgraded to a new Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon processor. It is a 64 bit system using Mac OS10.6.4.
    They do not run on this new machine. Is there any way to get them to run on it?
    If not, do I have to pay full price for new software or is there an upgrade available?
    Thanks,
    Glenn Nevill

    If you want the new version you would have to pay the full price.  The Adobe policy is upgrade once every 3 versions.  MX was version 6, CS5 is version 11.  I would recommend purchasing the new suite if you can.  Otherwise, if it ran under Leopard, you may (I am not positive) be able to run Parallels with 10.5 and run MX in a virtual environment.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 Not Working on Windows 8

    On a computer running Windows 8 Enterprise, Adobe Reader 11.0.03, and Flash Player 11.8.800.94, I am unable to open a flash-enabled PDF.  Reader gives me the error "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat."  Adobe's Flash verification page shows me that Flash Player is working, and I can open other basic PDFs in Reader.  I have another machine with an identical setup, except that it has Acrobat 11.0.03 instead of Reader, and the PDF opens just fine on that machine.  Why won't Reader open the Flash-enabled PDF?

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 will not open.

    I have a problem: the illustrator app will not open. I get the pop-up: To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. Click "More Info..." to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.
    Both clicking "More Info..." and "OK" only make the pop-up disappear, but lead absolutely nowhere.
    From Oracle.com I have already downloaded and installed 'jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg'. After install and restart i keep getting the same pop-up as before and i still can't open Ai. Any advice?

    hi,
    I updated from mavericks to Yosemite today which was a very bad idea. I had issues with my internal sound adapter and the system start is now very slow. I might going back to mavericks..
    However, I wish the above link you gave here would work. After clicking the blue download button nothing happens. Any other idea how I could go back from my actual java 8-31 back to java 6?
    Thanks, H

    gj,
    Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

    I just installed Illustrator, and do not see the font samples in menu box. Can you tell me how to get them to show?

    Sue,
    I believe this may solve it:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.

  • Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries

    Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
    it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
    1) comes completely blank
    2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
    I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
    Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
    tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...

    Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

    Try resetting Photoshop Preferences.   Use your Photoshop start icon to launch Photoshop and immediately press and hole Shift+Ctrl|CMD+Alt|Option keys   Photoshop should Prompt you with Do you want your Preferences deleted. Reply yes.   Photoshop should then delete your user ID preferences and then create a default set of preferences for your ID and start successfully.
