Dreamweaver crashes on startup - check the Common folder

CS3 build3841 and OSX 10.5.8
I tried deleting Dreamweaver sitecache and configuration folder, but nothing worked. I noticed a folder named "9" in the Common folder here:
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/9
I renamed it to "9 test", booted up dreamweaver and it worked. I quit DW and then restored the folder name back to "9". Booted up dreamweaver again and it still works.
So you might want to rename or move whatever is in that "Common" folder and see if that helps.
Hope that helps someone.

I dont have an answer to your problem, but I do know that the best way to get through to adobe is to NOT press the button for customer support, but to go to techincal support. I had an issue, twice, if I recall correctly I was on hold for way too long, went back, pushed the TS button, live help (his name was Bob with a foreign accent...nuff said) and problem was solved in 10 minutes.

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder? If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

BTW, it is never recommended to do a major OS change without having a full, bootable backup.

My macbook started crashing on startup. The startup tone wavers. I got it going with the option start keystroke. Is this apt to be software or hardware? I ordered new system software to see if a new install will solve.

when you install the disc, do it with the machine powered off. Place the disc in the the slot, push it in while holding the power switch tp poer it up, while holding the "C" key down till the gear starts spinning. After the gear starts spinning you can release the C key and wait. This takes much longer than normal longer, then create a new account. Be ready to wait.
USE YOUR ORIGINAL INSTALL DISC!

Error msg: "The project could not be created, please check

Dreamweaver Crashes on Startup

After many months of Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac working fine, it suddenly started crashing on startup. Just before this problem started, I was working in a file based on a template. An error message came up, and unfortunately I didn't write down what it said. I do remember pieces of it. It was regarding a javascript error and had the following parts that I remember, onblur, description.htm, and line 69 (I think). Dreamweaver soon crashed, and now it just gets past the Welcome screen and crashes. I have searched the Dreamweaver forum, and based on suggestions have done the following:
deleted the cache file
added more text to files that were 8kb
deleted the configuration folder
renamed the file I was last working on before the crash
deleted Dreamweaver CS4 Preferences file
Disabled the Welcome screen
At one point in all this, I was getting a message when Dreamweaver was unable to read preview in browser preferences, and please remove all browsers form the list and add them again--but I am no longer getting that message.
After hours of trying to solve this I got so frustrated I even tried to call Adobe support, knowing that I would have to pay dearly for help. I was on hold for 45 minutes, and finally gave up.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me with this.

Dreamweaver crashes on startup [was: Dreamweaver Problem]

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this situation:
I recently moved all my software to a different computer. The software is older Creative Suite (CS2) with Marcromedia Dreamweaver 8. All the software from CS2 works fine, however, every time I try to start Dreamweaver the program begins to start up and immediately shuts down.
There are no error messages when Dreamweaver shuts down, and there were no errors during instalation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay, I've followed the instruction in this thread, and I renamed Dreamweaver's configuration folder and then tried launching Dreamweaver. It appears a new configuration folder was made, but the problem persists. I've tried deleting the WinFileCache-*******.dat file, but it shows up in the configuration folder each time I try to re-launch the program. When I launch the program, for just a moment things look normal, and then it crashes giving me an error code of 148:3. Any ideas from here?

Any Mozilla product I install crashes at startup. The first window I see when I open a Mozilla product is the crash reporter. I have tried every possible solution but cannot open anything. It started with firefox. Can anyone please help?

Hi there, as the question says, I cannot open any Mozilla product. I have tried to install firefox 3.6, older versions of Firefox, Firefox 4.0, Sea Monkey, Thunder Bird and Sun Bird. I have the same problem everytime. I open any of these programs and the first and the only window that appears is the crash reporter. I've tried opening it in Safe Mode and the same occurs. I have tried entirely uninstalling the products incuding the registry keys but no help. I shall post the detailed error reports, if they help solving this issue. Can you kindly look into this and find a solution as I use all of these Mozilla products and my life has been a hell since they've ben down.

LabVIEW 2009 crashes at startup with the presence of a certain CRT version on the system

When installing our LabVIEW integration package on a system running
LabVIEW 2009 LabVIEW will crash at startup afterwards. Using 'dependency
walker' reveals, that 'nicont.dll' causes this crash because of a
side-by-side configuration problem. After some debugging I found out
that on this particular system installing a certain version of the
Microsoft CRT will stop LabVIEW from functioning. My fix now is to
recompile our code with a newer version of VS. I now ship a VS9 version
of the runtime and everything is working as expected.
However
I guess the real problem lies within the LabVIEW installer. I guess a
needed version of the CRT is not installed by LabVIEW. It still works
because due to some policy files on the machine it gots defaulted to a
compatible version at startup. However when I install the following 2
merge modules on the target system LabVIEW does no longer work:
Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm (file version inside: 8.0.50727.762)
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm (file version inside: 8.0.50727.4053)
Renaming
the *.policy file in the SxS dir on the target system gets LabVIEW back
to run, but of course other SW needing this file does not run then
I was using XP, 32 bit SP 3
I can provide additional information if needed. Is this a known problem? Is there a fixed version of LabVIEW already?
Message Edited by anotherStefan on 02-05-2010 05:44 AM

Sure! I tried to attach the installer causing the problem to this message.
However I failed miserably(BAD GATEWAY from the upstream server). Where can I upload the installer to or what do I need to do?
It will install some other stuff as well (A bunch of VIs, a DLL and an
OCX(this needs the CRT I have trouble with)and the CRT and MFC runtimes I
mentioned. An updated version of the installer can be obtain here(however it does no longer show the issue):
http://www.matrix-vision.com/functions/count.php?url=products/hardware/family/SC/mvBlueFOX/LabVIEW_a...
The only difference between the two packages is, that the OCX in the
attached file has been build using VS2005SP1 and in the package the link
points to I did use VS2008. Apart from that I changed the 2 merge
modules from Microsoft (CRT and MFC)

Crashing at startup after the 3.4.2 upgrade?

Looks like quite a few reviewers on the App Store have had problems upgrading to the recent Aperture update to 3.4.2, and it looks like a few folks here have had the problem as well. The problem's similar to one that we saw here a few months ago.
So, if Aperture's crashing at startup, delete and reinstall the Aperture application. Doing so will not affect any of your existing libraries or images.
There's an article on Apple's support site here if you need more info. It's written for 3.4, but it looks like it's applicable to 3.4.2 as well.

Good advice, but one caution, Aye Es Oh;
the support article will apply, if you upgrade directly from an AP 3.3 version to 3.4.2, but not for upgrades from 3.4.1.
If the crash happens after upgrading from a working AP 3.4.1 I'd suspect to be more likely that the library needs fixing.

Webutil - to check the file/folder path is valid in client pc

I'm using oracle 10g forms. OS is Windows.
When i try to write a file from DB to Client in order to open the file in client system,
i 'm using CLIENT_HOST('CMD /C '||<filename>); => which saves the file in desktop.
In order to specify a different location, i assigned a local variable and concatenating it with the file name. But my requirement is, before i specify a different path, i want to know whether the path is valid or not?
Say for example:
var_temp_folder := 'C:\DB_File\';
var_success :=
webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_with_progress(
clientFile => <filename>
,tableName => <tablename>
,columnName => <columnname>
,whereClause => <where_clause_condition>
,progressTitle => 'Download from Database in progress'
,progressSubTitle=> 'Please wait');
CLIENT_HOST('CMD /C '||var_temp_folder||<filename>);
-- On the above, var_temp_folder is the local variable i specified, i 'm opening the file from DB to Client PC.
But before that i want to check whether this path in var_temp_folder variable is available in client pc (Note: Client PC runs on windows).
For that, can i use the CLIENT_HOST or any other function/procedure in WEBUTIL available for the same?
Any immediate help would be appreciated..
Regards
Muthu

Yea... i found the solution...
webutil_file.file_is_directory(<folder_path>) will help to check the whether the path is valid or not in client pc.
if not webutil_file.file_is_directory(<folder_path>) then
user_message('Path does not exist');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
Any other suggestions also be appreciated..
Thanks

Dreamweaver crashes a startup

Dear people,
The strangest error occurs when I install my adobe package.
ALL the programs work fine, exept for Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver
starts up, but the last thing in the loading screen which I can see
is initiating files, and then it crashes (or stops loading
anyways).
Info:
- I tried multiple adobe versions (also one of my roommates),
but they all show the same result.
- Every other program works just fine
- I tried dumping all my website files in the trashcan
(Dreamweaver worked fine on my old computer, I'm now trying to
install it on my new laptop) to check if there was a corrupted file
in it. This did not change anything.
My OS is windows vista.
Does this sound familliar to any of you guys? Hope you can
help.

Yea, I got lazy and bought an "out-of-the-box" HP computer. I
spent at
least an hour deleting/disabling stuff that had nothing to do
with what
I need in a computer - before installing any of my software.
Turns out that may not have been the most efficient way to
obtain/set
up a new computer.

Dreamweaver crashing at startup

OK...out of the blue Dreamweaver stops loading. I see the
startup screen, begins to load the site cache and then disappears.
I've tried reinstalling, deleting the user config file...but
nothing seems to make it work. Very frustrating when you are on a
deadline. HELP!

I can only point you to the Adobe tech notes -
Troubleshooting Dreamweaver
on Windows:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15481&sliceId=1
See if there's anything there that may help. If the site
cache is trying to
load and then stops maybe it's a corrupted site definition.

Every time I try to open Adobe Premiere Elements, it crashes upon startup. The 1 in 20 times it does open, it crashes when I try to add/watch video clips.

How can I stop this from happening?

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Are you using an account with Administrator Privileges?

•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information

Acrobat 8 crashes and dissapears from the application folder

This problem has happened on three different machines in the last week! The error after the crash in "An error has been detected with a required application library or file and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
Have reinstalled on two machines, and one machine crashed again this morning...I'm at wits end. Anyone? Please help.
All three machines are running os 10.4.11, acrobat 8.2.1 (part of CS3). All machines are G5's. Thanks

first, remove acrobat 8 completely: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/manually-remove-acrobat-8-windows.html (follow the directions for removing acrobat 8 pro.)
then reinstall acrobat 8 pro using your serial number for acrobat 8 pro.
