Dreamweaver CS5 suddenly does not start up

Not sure if this is related, but earlier today I did a Microsoft Update on this Windows 2003 Server and re-booted as requested.
When trying to start Dreamweaver, no error message shows on the screen. The Dreamweaver process shows for a couple of seconds in Task Manager then disappears. There is no trace in Event Viewer.

When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences - this will wipe out any installed extensions and personal settings you may have.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 ftp does not work after my host server was updated

    I'm on an iMac running Mavericks.
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS 5.5 from the creative suite.
    Suddenly the FTP function in Dreamweaver does not work.
    My website host stated that they were forced to upgrade their server software for FTP and the Dreamweaver was not compatible.
    Will there be an upgrade soon to resolve the problem? I'm having to use Filezilla to upload/download files from my site and it's a real pain compared to just using Dreamweaver.
    Please help ASAP! Thanks.
    Marcus

    DWCS5.5 hasn't received an update in years and is no longer supported by Adobe. The chances of there being an update for any new compatibility issue is pretty much slim to none.
    If (and it's a big if) your hosting company actually did something that made DW itself incompatible with the server, you would just have to use some other FTP program, like the free Filezilla client, to do your uploads.
    Not a big deal, just a small extra step.

  • Illustrator, Photoshop CS5.1 does not start up anymore

    Since this morning I cannot start my CS anymore.
    I have un-installed them, installed them again, updated them, but still nothing.
    Does anyone know what to do?
    Thanks!

    rollback your system to a time before the problem started.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows) does not remember ftp username and password

    I have seen this problem mentioned in other threads concerning Mac instalations of Dreamweaver, but this is a Windows installation. I recently installed DW CS5, and it refuses to remember the ftp username and password after I quit the program and restart it later. This was never a problem with CS3. It is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?

    OK, got it fixed. Even though it said it was pointed to the correct directory in "local site folder" I picked it again and then it said something like "rebuilding cache". and it worked.
    Thanks!

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Mac does not remember which items belong to which site after restore * Desperate

    OK so I hope I can explain this OK.
    I needed my HD changed by Apple. So I cloned my drive twice (2 full backups).
    Once I cloned the drive back to the newly installed drive everything seemed OK until I opened Dreamweaver. When the "welcome screen" opens up I click on index.html for one of my sites ( I run 3 ) and it shows the path to it and says it's "not found" well I double checked the exact path it lists and the file is there.
    So I figure no problem I will just use Open and I opened the index file, made my changes, saved and when to go "Put" but it's grayed out. I clicked "Manage Sites" and all my sites are listed.
    So after searching I thought it was a bad site file, I restored it from another backup (Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Common:11:Sites:Site Prefs)
    But still same thing.
    I need some serious help as I need to modify my sites a few times a week. I just don't know what I am missing. Everything is where it should be but Dreamweaver acts like it's not.
    Any help??

  • Image Processor does not start through Bridge CS5

    Image Processor does not start through Bridge CS5, it starts only PS and nothing happen. I do not know, how to repair it.

    Most likely you do not have the startup files checked.
    In Bridge go to edit/preferences/startup scripts.  Make sure you have a check mark for Bridge and Photoshop.  Without that they can't talk to each other.

  • Photoshop 32bits does not start up anymore on Windows 7 64bits.

    This is the situation:
    We have 2 PCs that have been configured identically, with the exception of a scanner (canonScan 9950F) attached to the computer and the 32 bits twain scanner driver installed.
    Both PCs worked correctly, the one with the scanner attached started 32 bit PhotoShop when there was need to scan. But for some obscure reason, 32 bits Photoshop does not work anymore. I have tried disabling the twain driver (by moving it out of the plugins directory), restarting the machine, updating to the latest software, but despite this, Photoshop does not start anymore... no beep, no crash, no nothing.
    I deinstalled Photoshop, Reinstalled - same phenomena.
    At least the Event Viewer of Windows has something to tell, even if it is not quite understandable to me:

    May be someone out in the user community has a solution? Needless to say, that the second machine works fine!
    Lucien.

    The Photoshop executable really should be showing 12.0.4.0 as the executable version should have been updated by the updater.
    I'm sorry for the really basic question, but did you reboot after installing the 12.0.4 update?
    I do vaguely remember a few forum posts claiming the updater had only worked partially, though in my own case it updated all the files no problem.  Can you recall whether you changed anything under the Photoshop 32 bit installation area (e.g., did you move or remove any of  the Adobe plug-ins, for example)?
    If memory serves, the workaround for a "partial update" was to uninstall Photoshop, then reinstall 12.0.0, then update to 12.0.4.

  • Adobe Media Encoder does not start queue

    Hi, 5 days ago I started having problems with AME 6, just updated version 6.0.3.1 (64 bit). I work with premiere 6  version 6.0.5, windows xp, always worked since this week, AME :doesn.t start the queue. after 2 minutes working you can hear the sheep sound and the report says: unknown error, unable to locate or read original file. I updated everything was available, reinstalled the suite (premiere and encore 6), it's still not working.
    Do you have any idea about the problem?
    thank you
    Francesco

    The status "Waiting" indicates that the job is ready to be encoded. As of CS5.5, AME by default does not start processing the Queue automatically. Instead, it waits for you to start encoding by clicking the Start Queue button in the upper right corner of the window--it looks like the Play button on a media player or editing app. Watch folders are an exception to this rule: jobs that come in via watched folders start automatically by default.
    You have the option of having AME start encoding automatically. To enable this, check the "Start queue automatically when idle for <n.n> minutes" and set the desired wait period.

  • Acrobat X (C6) does not start

    Acrobat X within CS6 does not start.
    I tried uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling and it still doesn't work.
    I tried unilstalling just the Acrobat X Pro module.  I'm not sure how to install just this component.
    I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64-bit on a Dell T-3500 with 12GB of RAM.
    It appears that I'm running CS6 Master Collection v6.1 (service pack 1).
    What are the recommended next actions to resolve the Acrobat X problem?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Make sure you are connected to the internet.
    Launch   CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
    Click on Help->Deactivate .
    Deactivate the application. Quit application.
    Launch a regular CS6 product other than Acrobat or Flash Builder (for example: Photoshop, After Effects, Premier Pro, InDesign, Flash Professional, Illustrator, Dreamweaver.)
    Accept Eula.
    Register trial by signing in. Let the app launch.
    Quit and relaunch the app. Wait for UI to come.
    Click on License This Software button on the UI.
    Click on Sign in .
    Serial number screen will come
    Enter the serial number in the serial number screen and click Next.
    Quit app and relaunch the app while connected on the internet .
    After this if you launch Acrobat it will launch and run forever without trouble. In case you still face a problem , try relaunching the other CS6 app once more and then launch Acrobat.
    You can refer this thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1021632 for reference.
    Thank you,

  • PS CC 2014 does not start up correctly

    hi,
    I'm trying to rum PS CC 2014. After starting it stops quickly giving the message "could not initialize Photoshop due to a program error". I tried all not to technical things like reinstalling, logging of, ... Even tried to find the install log but couldn't find it.
    Lightroom runs perfect. Had the same problem with PS CC previous version. Did use CS5 because I had no time to solve the problem. Now I m eager to use PS CC but it does not start up.
    Anybody?
    thanks!

    make sure you have no 3rd party plugins starting and reset your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt (win) or shift-cmd-alt (mac) while starting ps.  if done correctly, you'll see a confirmation dialog.
    if that fails, uninstall, clean and reinstall per Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Dreamweaver CC (2014)- will not start up

    Jun 23, 2014
    11:08 PM PDT
    I too have the same problem. I installed Dreamweaver 2x and removed it 2x. Still No startup. Just bounces in dock for about 1/2 sec.
    Mac Pro 4,1
    10.7.5
    16GB RAM
    I have repaired permissions, checked the logs for errors- NONE.
    What else is there to do. I really need this to work.
    PS CS CC 2014, Audition, and Muse all work fine.
    I cleaned the app and uninstalled.
    Please add this to the locked discussion going on.
    My Dreamweaver CC (and 2014) will not start/open up.

    11:31 PM PDT
    Hi,
    New development this evening but I still need the conference.
    I installed it on another drive in my Mac Pro whose system is 10.8.5- It
    opened fine with the welcome screen.
    Then I installed it on my main startup drive where all my applications are
    and did not attempt to open it.
    I then went to the 10.8.5 drive and moved all information regarding DW CC
    2014 to the problem drive EXCEPT the actual application.
    I pulled information out of /user:/Library/Adobe App. support, Library-
    Adobe App. Support, and the /user/Library prefs folder.
    Some of the information was merged with existing files and some were
    replaced. Including all of the information from the Application folder
    (again; except the actual application)
    I then repaired user system preferences (just for the heck of it). I only
    moved applicable information relating to Dreamweaver not other Adobe apps.
    I then started up the Dreamweaver application and it started up fine. But I
    didn¹t get the usual Welcome tutorial screen and when I want to open a file
    in the resulting dialog box to navigate to a file it also shows all the
    invisible files on my drive. Very odd. So yes it does work but there may
    be other problems since this my be a symptom or just an isolated anomaly
    which does not affect the use of the application.
    I tried all my other Adobe apps. perpetual and subscription and they all
    work fine.
    When do you want to do the remote conference?
    Thank You

    photoshop CS5.1 does not recognize Epson R2880 printer--won't print

    My printer is Epson R2880
    I was printing all morning and suddenly I get an error message and CS5.1 will not recognize my printer.  The printer is chosen, and is the only printer on my computer, within system preferences under printer/fax.
    I have reinstalled both the printer and the software with no fixes made. I cannot print from Photoshop CS5.1.  What happened.  Out of the blue. I have used these two products for three years with no problems and now this

  • Dreamweaver mx 2004 will not start on Mac running OSX 10.6.2

    Right after installation I go to run Dreamweaver (or any of the mx 2004 suite), the item bounces, then dissepears and does not start up. I looked in the console and found the following item... "translate: MACH_RCV_PORT_CHANGED - INVALID POINTER, RCV BUFFER NOT SWAPPED".
    Now, I have found hundreds of people on the internet having the same issue, and the standard replies given, (by the way, never work!). Re-installing does not work, clearing out the preferences does not work, re-installing the OS is not an option (I have a brand new laptop with OSX 10.6.2).
    I did see that Adobe had received this error question, but they have removed it from their site. It seems that they do not want to address this issue for some reason. I would like to know how to fix this error. Let's put it this way, Anyone who buys a new Mac, then installs their MX Studio 2004, it will NOT work under any circumstances. I have seen hundreds of other people with the same problem, and never get it resolved. So, do I toss dreamweaver out for good or is there a fix that Adobe will allow anyone to talk about?

    Re: "Alternatively, if you don't want to do this, the only other option I am aware of to solve this problem is to buy software like Fusion or Parallels and install Leopard (10.5) as your OS and run MX 2004 within a virtual environment."
    Just so this is perfectly clear.....   NO CAN DO
    I have VMWare and Parallels on a Brand New MacBook Pro. It came with 10.5.11 and that is absolutely the OLDEST Mac OS I can install in a virtual environment. Believe me, I tried Tiger, Panther and Jaguar to no avail.
    If the Mac in question came loaded with Snow Leopard, it has a "Snow Leopard or better" firmware write on the logic board and it will not allow an older OS to be installed.... even in a virtual environment, unless there's a secret that nobody I've spoken to in support for both VM clients knows.

  • Netbook S10 does not start up

    Hi, my netbook S10 suddenly went black screen, I force shut down and try to on it but it does not start up anymore .. All the lights in the netbook does not lit up to show it is running or charging.
    I have tried removing the battery, power adapter, pressing the start up button for 30 seconds, but the whole machine looks dead still, no lights lit up at all... Can anyone help? Thanks ...

    hi Coollove,
    If you're getting No Power / No Display even if you still have enough juice on the battery to power up the PC  then  your motherboard maybe bad and you need to contact lenovo for service.
