Adobe Premiere CS3 will not open!

Adobe premiere CS3 will not open. When I click on the Adobe icon on my desktop, I get this message: This application has failed to start because prm.dll was not found. I've tried several things such as: uninstalling the program then reinstalliing it. I tried to open Adobe by clicking on one of my projects by opening MY Computer from start on the taskbar, then click on c drive, etc. but it will not open. Before I started getting the error message stated above, when I clicked on the icon, the program would load to the point of showing the top portion of the page (file, edit, etc.) then stop. It would never fully load. HELP!!!!! I'm in the middle of trying to meet several deadlines.

First, search your system for every instance of prm.dll. See if you have one (could be corrupt, but a Repair Install should have repaired it) in your PrPro CS3 folder hierarchy. Do you have any more? How do the dates and sizes compare to the one, if there is one, in PrPro? Here is a LINK to a .dll site. I do not know this site, so cannot even comment on their .dll's. I'd do the first suggestion, well - first.
Also, I do not know this .dll. It could be a VST from an Audio editing program, or similar. Some of these have been known to bring PrPro to its knees, at launch. Might be worthwhile to check into it a bit more.
Also, take a look at Event Viewer. This ARTICLE will give you some tips on what to look for. Could be more happening, than the error message might lead one to believe.
Good luck,
Hunt

I assume you're running Photoshop CC (not sure what you mean by "with CS3" unless that's the version you upgraded to CC from)

I did a system restore on my system (Windows XP Pro) and cannot open Indesign CS3. When I tried the following error message appeared:
"The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support."
I tried some of the suggestions here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402004
Indesign CS3 will not open so I cannot deactivate. The instructions say if you have an entire Suite installed, then you only need to deactivate from one application. But I cannot find deactivate anywhere in the other apps. Without deactivating, I cannot uninstall to reinstall.
There was no FLEXnet Licensing Service showing in services.
I tried renaming the FlexNet folder.
tried moving the cache.db file.
After trying these suggestions I now get the error:
"You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstall this product or contact Adobe customer support for help."
What next?

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

You're welcome.
But, no, don't look to Epson for fixes to their driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in. Hoping for a solution there is futile. That has not happened and it's never going to happen. The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan. Honestly.
Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever. When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software. If you think about it, its most inefficient.
VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist. VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue. Sorry.

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Bridge CS3 Will not open at all

I get the hour glass for about 1/2 second and nothing else. I have looked and the program is there but will not open. I have unistalled are reinstalled everything but it will not open. All the other Design Premium products are working??? Any suggestions?
Theresa

Trying to reset preferences of an Adobe application by clicking a Desktop icon has never worked for me - not Bridge, not Photoshop, not any. However, THIS always works for me:
Try this:
1) Press and hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and do not release them until I tell you to.
2) Select the following menus: Start => All Programs => Adobe (whatever suite) => Adobe Bridge CS3.
3) You're still holding down the three keys, right?
4) In a few moments, the Reset Settings dialog will appear containing three checkboxes.
5) Finally, release the Ctrl+Alt+Shift.
6) Turn on all three checkboxes and click OK.
People swear by the Ctrl+click icon method, but that has never worked for me.
You can also delete the cache manually:
1) Browse to:
C:\Documents and Settings\{your name}\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS3
2) Delete the Cache folder found there.

InDesign CS3 will not open after installing updates

Hello,
I am having a problem printing borderless with InDesign CS3. When my paper size is set on borderless my photos print very light. If Iremove the borderless setting the photos print fine.
In a effort to correct this problem I downloaded and installed updates for InDesign CS3 now InDesign will not open.

5.0.3 should not have installed after 5.0.4 (that's a problem with the installer), and it may have added problems. First things to try, though, before we get down to uninstalling and reinstalling again, are trashing the prefs (Replace Your Preferences), trying a new user account, and starting with extensions disabled (hold down the Shift key when you boot).
If it comes to reinstalling again, you should probably also run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) before reinstalling, and make sure you have the correct update which you can download again from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4029

Adobe Bridge CS6 will not open

Just started trial of Adobe Photoshop CC ( CS6 and Bridge CS 6)
Photoshop downloaded ok but Bridge CS6 will not open after installation.
I have used Adobe Bridge with CS2 before but since removing CS2 and installing CS6 and Adobe Bridge 6 64Bit Adobe Bridge will not open.
Help
watchet7

CS2 seems to conflict with CS6. One user found this to work. AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

Adobe Bridge CC will not open

Hello,
I have quite a few CC products downloaded. Everything has been working fine, but then Bridge stopped opening. I uninstalled Bridge CC and reinstalled and I still can not open the program as a stand alone, or from within Photoshop CC. I click on the application, the icon bounces on the bottom doc and then closes. In Photoshop, I click "browse in Bridge" or "open Mini Bridge"-I get a message, "waiting for Bridg"e and then the program does not open.
I started having a problem when I followed Adobe's directions and tried to add the "Import Workspace ( I was trying to made contact sheets in Bridge) into the approporiate application's folder in Bridge. For some reason, this computer did not like me doing this. On my other mac, (not running maverick), everything (the import panel was successfully added) is fine. I went ahead and unistalled Bridge and reinstalled it on my laptop, but still can not open Bridge.
Before I uninstall and reinstall Bridge CC again, I have a feeling there must be something else I should be doing or checking to see what is going on. Is there a hidden cache? I have just updated all my cc apps and thought maybe there was a bug, but the program still will not open.
I am using mac, Maverick.
Here is a screen shot of the program folders.
Help would be appreciated as the hold time for Adobe is 30 minutes plus.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Probably same fix posted on Feb 5.
If the person posting the original post would Mark post correct then people would know problem has been solved.

Ok, 6 hours later it's a fix for me!
Not sure if it'll work for you but it was quite simple.
Open Finder > (go) Computer > Macintosh HD (for me) > Users > Click once on the Home icon (main admin) > Get Info >
click on lock and authorise bottom right > click on cog wheel drop down > click on 'Apply to enclosed items' > OK
Close info window and try to open bridge

My adobe CS2 programs will not open on my macbook pro osx 10.5.8

Today my adobe cs2 suite programs will not open. They were working just fine a couple of days ago. And they have worked fine for years. I did not update to any new os that would cause them not to work. I really need to get some image work done soon and this is a real monkey wrench in my plans. I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall from the disc and it would not let me do that either. I tried to download picasa just as a quick alternative to get some images edited tonight and it would not let me open that either, even though it said it was good for 10.5 or above. So the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded something that changed some settings?

Mackeeper can also be a problem:
