ADE 2.0 & 3.0 has stopped working on load

Hi!
I'm desperate here because this error has stopped me full-on from doing what I love...reading and reviewing ebooks. Publishers (big ones, like Harper Collings, Simon & Schuster, Disney/Hyperion) send me ebooks, first encrypted with .ascm. Up until today I have had absolutely NO problems.
Today, ADE 2.0 stopped working when I tried to open a file I'd just downloaded. I did the normal things...I checked for a new update - version 3.0 is available so I uninstalled 2.0 and installed 3.0. Now 3.0 is not working. I restarted my computer twice, I tried installing from another account on my computer (I have an account and so do my kids), I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice, and I even read a solution that said that a file in My Digital Editions could be corrupt so to delete that folder and try to open it.
NOTHING is working.
This is VERY important for me to get working...without it, I can't do my "job". I run a book review blog, and without the books to review I'm sortof at a standstill.
Please help!
Oh, also I use Windows 8 if that helps.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm not getting an error...instead of loading I just see "Adobe Digital Editions 2.0/3.0 has stopped working". Which is extremely unhelpful.
The solution I came up with on my own was to uninstall ADE 2.0 and 3.0 and download a super old version and install it. Somewhere in the forums here someone said 1.7.2 works, so that's the one I've got running now and my problem has disappeared. Since I use it only for opening the files and then transfer them to another program, I don't really care which version I'm running...
Though it is EXTREMELY irritating that the only option to open these files is ADE and it doesn't work properly and there is no support. If they're going to have a program people will need to use on a daily basis (with absolutely no other option), they need to be sure that they're there to help when things go wrong!

  • Photoshop CS4 in Comms Suite 2 has stopped working when loading

    I wonder if someone can help me as I am not technical. I have a copy of Adobe Communication Suite 2 (this is basically CS4 version). I've installed this and every piece of it will load except for Photoshop (the bit I really want and need today!). I get an error message which says Adobe Photoshop has stopped working. Not sure what to do and I've loaded and unloaded this several times and also used some download from Adobe which is supposed to take away install problems but that had no effect!
    Any help would be appreciated if anyone knows anything about it.
    PS I have tried to load in Administrator mode and I get the same error message.

    You'll get more help in the Photoshop forum. Try there with full details.

    Right click on the Photoshop CS4 in the start up menu, click on properties, click on compatibility tab, and check run as Admin. Hit apply and ok to close out. Then restart CS4.
    Since this is a suite maybe this forum can help you out better:

  • Adobe digital editions has stopped working??

    I have been using ADE to read library ebooks, and the 2.0 version has never worked for me- I have always got the error message "Adobe digital editions has stopped working" as soon as I try to open it. I have been using the older version 1.7.2, but now it will no longer let me use this version and forces me to download an upgrade. I have tried 2.0 and 3.0 and both get the same error message. I have tried reinstalling and allowing through my firewall but I still keep getting the message. Does anyone know how I can fix this please??

    When you open the ADE 2x/3x, It tries to load the books' details from the "My Digital Editions" folder (in "My documents") for the library view. If any of the book is corrupt, It fails to open correctly.
    I am guessing this is the issue.
    Can you try the following:
    Backup the "My Digital Editions" folder and then remove this folder.
    Now open the ADE. Hopefully, It will work.
    If it does, you can open the books from the Backed up folder.
    I hope it helps.

  • Adobe DIgital Edition 2.0 has stopped working on my windows 7 program.  How to fix this problem?

    I currently have Adobe Digital Edition 2.0 and am receiving the message that it has "stopped working".  How do I correct this problem?

    You can install the different versions of .NET at the same time, and that is what you need to do for quite a few programs.
    Microsoft don't make them upward compatible.
    You could install the older v1.7.2 instead, much more relaible and I don't think (not sure) it as .NET requirement.
    ~~~~~~~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

  • HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7.  Message shows that iTunes has stopped working.  This happens every time.  I have updated iTunes Software.  Will not solve the problem.  What is wrong

    I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded.  When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
              iTunes has stopped working.
    The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up.  The computer will shut down the website.
              "Check online for a solution and close the program"
              "Close the program."
    There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details.  When clicked a long list of items show up.  I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them.  I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version.  How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
         Here are some of the Problem Details:
         "Problem signature:  APPCRASH
         Application Name:     iTunes.exe
         Application Version:  11.0.1.12
         Application Timestamp:  50c8fc7e"

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • Can't get itunes.  I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program.  It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

    When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program  I get the following message:
    ITunes has stopped working.  My two options are:  Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program. 
    It seems that my entire library is not there.  If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer? 
    I've even tried installing again and nothing works.  Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
    Thanks
