Adobe products now crash my computer.

At first, all the CC downloads worked fine. Then about a week ago, I started crashing if I used Acrobat (mainly by trying to look at PDFs.) Now if I open any Adobe program, like Dreamweaver or Photoshop, it will crash my computer as well. I've gone back to an earlier system restore, I tried an earlier Acrobat version, I've wiped all Adobe installs and CC cleaned it, I've reinstalled, same problem. (Crashing in this case means the blue screen of death.) This is a major problem so I'm hoping someone here has a solution.
My computer is VERY hefty and can handle the workload. I run Windows 7.

Hi, Artemis131313
Are you still having the problem with the applications crashing upon launch? Here is a Windows troubleshooting guide that might help since you are having the BSOD problem.

Why is that when I install any Adobe Product it slows my computer down?

Why is that when I install any Adobe Product it slows my computer down?

You really need to provide more information than this.

Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall. Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all. tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

So I tried to update to the newest Itunes. It locked up my computer part way thru the install. Black screen, computer turned itself off. Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down. I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist. the other apple programs do, but no itunes. when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded. I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs. however, i can open itunes. it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall. So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it??? I'm out of ideas. running windows vista.

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

"Help improve Adobe products" window crashes Photoshop CS6

Most od the times when I try to open a Photoshop CS6 file (MacBook Pro Retina, Mac OS 10.8.3) and the "Help improve Adobe products" window shows up, no matter if I press the "Do not participate" or "participate" button, the program opens but all tghe menu items appear in gray or the program crashes

Same problem here, can no longer use Photoshop. Have never installed MacKeeper or MacCleaner which are named as culprits in other threads.
Macbook Pro C2D 2.4ghz with 4GB ram, used to work fine.

I just installed a new Hard drive in my MAC I can not use my Adobe product now. Says its not compatable with my software. But it was working fine before my hard drive crash

I can not uninstall the software either, I already tried that. When I click on the "add or remove" software, it automaticly thinks I'm trying to install it and says I cant install??

Thanks again kglad. I have walked through several of these and no results. When I launch InDesign in gives me the "Licensing has stopped working" But that is the only program. The rest tell me I may need to uninstall and reinstall the programs. They wont even try to start up. I believe the problem started when I tried to use the CC Cleaner tool. I believe it deleted something. It now gives me an error message:
The alias “Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.
When I try to open the Add or remove Adobe Creative Suite. So now at this point it seems I cant even "Uninstall" my software? Is that right? Sorry I'm pretty dumb with the whole computer thing really
Thanks again

Adobe Products (CC) Freezing up computer entirely

Can't move the mouse at all, can't CTRL-ALT-DEL. I have to restart the computer with the reset button.
This happened a few times a few days ago, and stopped after Windows 8 reverted it back to a state where it previously loaded. I was able to use adobe CC products fine.
Then 2 days later, the same thing again; and both times it started when I tried using After Effects CC.
I'm only able to post this as I have to quickly CTRL/ALT/DEL and kill all adobe processes, because after a few seconds, "Updates To Creative Cloud Manager" pops up on the system tray and then freezes the computer entirely..
I tried installing the update, but once it starts installing, it freezes the computer.
I'm using Windows 8 (up to date) 64 bit, 16gb ram.. Help?
EDIT:
I was able to launch Creative Cloud by following the steps in the 2nd post of this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5484303#5484303#5484303
I've updated the CC application, and now I'm updating After Effects. I'll report back if this does not solve the problem.
Thanks.

It seems that whomever transferred the tape to the .VOB format spit out fragments because I found the fragment clip within a larger clip

That dvd stuff is sorta standardized ( is supposed to be technically very tight re: code and creation of dvd )..and is actually owned ( copyrighted or patented or whatever you call it ). In other words, every single program that burns DVD's is supposed to handle the creation the same way according to standard.
It's not a matter of a person 'choosing' to do something one way or another when using the program to burn a DVD. It is more a matter of how the 'program' to burn dvd has implemented the standard. Believe it or not.. there is some leeway in there due to translation from Japanese to English and so on... some programs to burn dvd do a better job than others...but the basics are the same. No 'user' of the program to burn dvd has any control over that.. the program is the thing.
I'm glad you got the video and sound portion of your vob file.. good going. it's like you became a video forensic expert !

How do I get my Adobe products back on new computer after not knowing the keys and codes

I have recently purchased a new Windows 8 computer. My Windows 7 computer went wrong on the motherboard, so I can't get my license keys, product keys and serial numbers for this new computer.

All Adobe Products Render Crash!

I have a problem with Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro (All CS6) when rendering. I get around the halfway mark on any length of video (From 2 to 20 minutes I have tried) and it will crash, and present me with this error

Any idea on how to fix this without doing a full reinstall (if even that would fix it?)

Waht version of the software are you trying to use? And the error seems pretty self-explanatory...

Adobe products on a new computer

I want to install my Dreamweaver MX 6.1 and Photoshop Elements 8 (now on my old computer under Windows XP) on my new computer under Windows 7. The Adobe "Chat" help told me in effect "sorry, no go, buy a new version". Actually, this seems to me like conscious fraud on the part of Adobe.
But anyway, does anyone have a better idea of how I can use the software that I paid for?

You can try installing it. It isn't supported or tested in modern OS's so you might end up with some issues.
You will likely need this page to activate anything...
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html
Adobe took down the actual activation servers for MX a long, long time ago. MX is over 12 years old, which is ancient by any software producer's standpoint, especially for anything web related.
Unless you do a lot of hand coding and work in Source View, pretty much exclusively, you won't be able to produce anything up to modern HTML standards with DWMX.

Adobe products all crashing on startup

Hi, I see some people have asked this but the solutions have not helped me yet. I just purchased the creative cloud. So when I run Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe Aftereffects on my PC windows 7 it starts up then quits automatically within seconds of opening the program. Bridge and Encoder seem to work though. I haven't tried the other Adobe problems yet. Plus, I have downloaded it on my Mac and it works fine. So I know the problem lies with my PC computer. What can I do to fix this?
My stats are:

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

FAQ: How to deactivate an Adobe product, or My computer crashed, how do I install on a new one?

What is Activation?
When you purchase an Adobe product, your license allows you to install on two computers. To enforce this limit (and prevent others from using what you have paid for), your serial number comes with two Activations. Activation happens when you launch the product for the first time (it does not happen during the installation process). Your Adobe product contacts the Adobe activation servers and lets us know that you are using the product on a specific computer (using an anonymous, unique machine code). If you'd like to move your product to a new computer, simply uninstall the application, which lets you deactivate it from the computer.
I have already installed on two computers, and one of them crashed, what do I do?
Often you will find yourself in a situation that a computer has crashed and you had an activated Adobe product on that system. Depending on how much you use the Adobe product, this could be a major issue. If you have crashed your first computer and have not yet installed on a second, then there is nothing to worry about, simply install and use the product as normal. Obviously you can't uninstall and deactivate the product on the dead computer. At this point, you will have to contact our customer service department to have your activations cleared up from the back-end servers. This should be a very quick, painless process to accomplish. Simply call: 1-800-642-3623

Please review: Adobe software activation

Hello Don,
I think there may be a misunderstanding on your part. The CDs that you receive as part of Developer Suite do not actually contain "updates" to a previously installed version of LabVIEW; they are stand-alone installers. Every quarterly shipment of the Developer Suite CDs contains the full version of LabVIEW, along with the included toolkits and other National Instruments software.
In other words, if you have any set of Developer Suite CDs, you can start a new install of LabVIEW et al. immediately. You don't need any so-called "original" CDs.
Good luck!
Mike N.
