Dreamweaver and Fireworks will not run

Question

when starting mx 2004 dreamweaver or fireworks, and immediate
error message pops up: ERRO: Write File() The handle is invalid.
the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142) Click ok
to terminate application.
flash works fine even after re-installing.
tried downloading dreamweaver 8 trial from adobe site, worked
fine go figure.
have tried re-installing applications with all start up items
disabled and in safe mode,
have checked hard drive for errors - none
run sfc /scannow - no messages
replaced cmd.exe in c:\windows\system32 - no effect
sounds like a security issue or file that is damaged.
any help or direction on this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

The only thing I can think of, which is a wild guess, is
this:
Software installations usually tell us to close other
programs and if
you are like me, you ignore that. I've seen a few computers
that, when
you tried to spell check in Word, had out of memory errors.
On at
least one of these machines, the problem was solved by
reinstalling
with all other apps closed and on at least one other one,
problem
solved by installing in Safe Mode.
