Adobe Flash CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi,
I have two laptops. I have installed Adobe Flash CS5 in my first laptop (Windows XP). When I start the application, it shows the following message:
"Adobe Flash CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have installed the Flash CS5 in my second laptop and it worked fine.
Error signature:
AppName: flash.exe AppVer: 11.0.0.485 ModName: updaternotifications.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.64 Offset: 0006a8dc
Can anybody help?
Thanks.

"Adobe Photoshop CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I get this error everytime I try to launch Photshop CS5. The startup screen appears but it stops at "Starting Plugins... Scripting support", then it gives that message^(along with don't send and send error report, of course).
Specs:
XP Pro SP3
E6750 dual core cpu(has 64bit support)
nVidia GeForce 9500gt 1gb

Alright, hopefully someone can help with this.
Thanks.

Reinstalled everything and it still gives the same error.
Edit: I used the akami download manager, does that have anything to do with it? Would manually installing it be better?

Adobe photoshop cs5 has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience

I tryed unstalling it and then restall it and i tryed ccleaner to clean the register and nothing is working and i had it working but when i closed it and updated my computer for updates it did not work again this is annoying cause i got the free trail version so please anyone help me out

Open you Event Log and see what the defaulting module is. It could be PS, drivers, conflicting program, corrupted load of program, or any number of things.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
"It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
Tony

Tony,
Here's something you might try:
Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
Let us know how you make out.

Error: adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close

When I right-click to Convert to PDF or Convert to PDF and EMail for .xls, .xlsx, .doc, .docx, .pptx, .ppt, .pub, and .igx items (what I've tried so far), I get the following error: "Adobe acrobat elements has encountered a problem and needs to close". It works fine on .bmp .tif, .txt, .htm, and .jpg (what I've tried so far). I am not having problems printing to Adobe to convert, nor am I having problems creating a PDF within a program, and I'm not having problems converting from IE. I am using Windows XP Professional, Microsoft 2007, and IE 7. My Adobe product is Adobe Acrobat X Pro Version 10.1.2. What can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks.

No, I don't have an older version. I did a search on my C drive for anything that has a name of Acrobat Elements and came up with the following: (I'm hoping you can see this)

Photoshop Elements 12
Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 75e32f71
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time!

Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I am trying to generate a project as WebHelp and after about 10 minutes of generating, the following error message appears: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I am able to generate all other projects, just not this project.
This project is not on the network. It used to be on the network, but I moved it to my local directory awhile ago.
I tried restarting the computer. I tried generating from another computer and that did not work either.
I tried repairing the CPD through Microsoft Access. (I am not able to rename the CPD, because when I do that, almost all of my topics appear as broken links, so I use Microsoft Access to repair the CPD instead).
Is there anything else I can check or try?
Thanks,
Debbie

Thanks. I didn't see anything in the .HHP.
However, I think I'm getting closer to finding the solution (at least I
think I've found the problem).
I have various conditional tags. One is called "uni2" and one is called
"Remove_in_uni2".
When I generate with "uni2" excluded and "Remove_in_uni2" included, the
WebHelp generates.
When I switch them ("Remove_in_uni2" excluded and "uni2" included), then I
get the error.
I tried removing the underscores - didn't work.
I tried renaming it to RemoveIn18 - didn't work.
Any suggestions, anyone?
Thanks,
Debbie

The CPD is created from RoboHelp's internal files so a repair will not
necessarily fix the issue as Access will not know what to look for. A
rebuild is what is needed and it should not result in the broken links you
are seeing. However, that can happen and I have seen it. After repairing
the links, I had no further problems. Try generating a CHM first as if that
will create, it may make changes to the HHP that prevent the broken links.
Also take a look in the HHP for any obvious path errors.
Do you have many folders in the project? If not, creating a new project
should not be too painful as you can import all the topics in a folder in
one hit.

Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I get this message when trying to open muse. It happened after an upgrade.
"Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Is there anything I can do?

Please send me ([email protected]) the MuseLog.txt file from your Documents folder.
Then please delete the "MBLStore" and "OOBE" folders found in
on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe
and delete the "AdobeMuse" folder found in
on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Preferences
on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\
on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Roaming
Then launch Muse. It will go through the first launch experience of asking for UI language, AdobeID, etc.
Please let me know whether or not that works. Thanks.

Just ran memtest and received no errors. This more or less clears the hardware. I have no idea how to proceed. Does adobe offer any direct support for this sort of problem?

When generating WebHelp, "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close" appears.

I'm using RH 8.0.2.208 (both patches applied). This project is a child project in a merged project structure and it is the only one that I am having problems publishing. I've tried deleting the CPD file and creating a new layout, but the error still occurs whenever I try to publish. (FYI, I have no problem opening this project). Are there any other actions I could try? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
Does this problem also occur if you publish to an entirely different location? If it does then can you link the problem to any recent changes. If not, it seems to be time for the old divide and conquer approach.
Zip up the project so you have a copy that cannot accidentally be opened and worked on. That gives you a copy that you can safely revert to later if needed. Save the zip file somewhere safe.
Then create another copy of the project so that you have two copies that can be worked on.
Open Copy 1 and delete half the topics. Ignore any broken links reported. Generate the help from that copy.
Open Copy 2 and delete the other half of the topics. Generate the help from that copy.
It should be the case that one copy is now OK and one still has the problem.
Trash the good copy and then create a second copy of the copy with the problem.
Repeat the process until you have located the topic that is causing the problem.
The process takes less time than you might think.
Let us know how you get on.

Are you installing AIR installer or running Installer. If your running it make sure you click on the AIR Install package file, not just using installer. Im not really sure what you can do.

OLC has encountered a problem and needs to close on startup

Downloaded the trial of OnLocation on my Gateway Windows XP laptop and I get an error saying
"Adobe OnLocation.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Asks to send error report, etc.
It does this while "Loading panels" on the splash screen.
Premiere seems to work fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Ahh - I've had some luck. I found out that by running dxdiag.exe to analyse directx that my 3D functions were disabled. By trolling through old forums I found one that suggested using the original screen drivers for my laptop - which i managed to find in my downloads directory and installed them. Also, I read on another forum that another brand of graphics card likes contiguous disk space if it needs to use any virtual memory. So armed with this knowledge i cleared a big chunk of drive space. In my travels I came across a great utility called ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) - definately worth a look to clean up your windows installation (and be nice by leaving the writer a bit of spare coin)!
After too many hours (like the whole night - and I'm working today) I finally have On Location up and running again. If only Adobe could have helped me out earlier!!! Electronic equipment never used to give us this grief just to get to the starting line.
Hope this helps one of you :-)

Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.2.r202 has encountered a problem and needs to close

Seems that with the last 3 or 4 Flash Player updates, once the update is complete but before the installer actually exits, I get an error message box telling me that "Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.2.r202 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.", etc., etc., etc. I've received this error message numerous times as most of the computers I work on are Windows XP SP3 (all updates) with Internet Explorer 8 as the browser, including my own computer and my wife's. If I could copy & paste the details, I would. But the temp file that's supposed to be created for error reporting purposes, isn't, and I'm not going to spend the next half an hour transcribing all the technical details. I just want you to be aware there's a problem with your installer. -kd5150-

I'm sorry you are running into this crash. To help investigate the problem, we'll need you to do a few things for us.
First, add the following line to the file mms.cfg (open in Notepad)
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
You can find the mms.cfg file here:
xp, vista, and windows 7 32bit: c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\mms.cfg
windows 7 64bit: c:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash\mms.cfg
Next, we'll want to get a crash dump so we can see what's going wrong. You can enable crash logging on Windows Vista or 7 using the following steps:
Download the following files: Enable Crash Logging.reg and Disable Crash Logging.reg.
Double-click the Enable Crash Logging.reg file. Click Yes in the Registry Editor dialog.
Restart your computer.
Let the updater/installer crash occur
After the crash, open a file browser window and type the following in the navigation bar:%localappdata%
Go to the CrashDump folder.
Select the most recent file that appears with the extension .dmp.
Double-click the Disable Crash Logging.reg file downloaded in Step 1 and click OK.
Restart your computer.
Zip up the .dmp file and mail it (or a dropbox link) to [email protected] with a link to this thread.
For XP, follow these steps:
Show hidden files. For more details, see the instructions for Windows XP.
Repeat the steps that resulted in the installer crash
After the crash, open the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson
Locate the file named with the extension .dmp that corresponds with the correct date and time
Zip up the .dmp file and mail it (or a dropbox link) to [email protected] with a link to this thread.
In addition to the .dmp, please post or send me your Flash Installation.log.
Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.
