Adobe won't start up on my Laptop

Hi.
Basically I'm having the same problem with my Adobe software that this guy was having --> Problem.
I have the Gateway NV5214u, it has vista and I'm trying run Adobe CS3. After installation I try to open the programs buy they don't start up. I go to the task manager and it says the program is running and it certainly taking up memory to run it, but it doesn't show up on the screen. It dose this with every program except Photoshop. With Photoshop it actually starts but it freezes and I have to close it.
The guy in the other forum solved his problem by downloading a trial for CS4 and some how that helped. I downloaded a trial for CS4 for Flash. I installed it and it won't start either!
My profile has administrative privileges and Im sure I installed all updates. Please has any one else had this problem and if so how did you resolve it?

My profile has administrative privileges and Im sure I installed all updates.
And what happens, if you actually launch them with the administrator account, not just a normal user account with admin rights? Definitely try that. Most likely it is simply the license agreement prompting you for activation and blocking everything without showing itself....

Windows 8 laptop won't start on my Toshiba laptop

My Toshiba satellite laptop , model : C55t-A5222 . It won't load windows 8.1. I updated some software and now Windows won't start. The computer goes straight to automatic repair. I would like Windows back so I can use Excel.

You need to reach the recovery environment.
If you have another Windows 8.x computer with the same bitness, you can create a repair thumbdrive.
If not, according to Microsoft trying and failing to boot several times will eventually take you to the recovery environment instead. According to Toshiba, you can also get there by pressing F2 or the zero key on powering up. If you have completely shut down Windows 8, Toshiba says you can get there using F12 to reach the UEFI boot menu and then selecting HDD Recovery. Please try these out many, many times and let us know what happens.
If all else fails, you can download a Windows 8.1 installation media, which will enable to to access the recovery environment.

INTEL Turbo Booster Device won't start on dv8t 1000 laptop

HP Analysis and device manager show this problem. Driver tests up to date.
What does this meaan and how do I correct it?

This is Turbo Boost Driver installing incorrect. The driver installation should have failed with Error 'This Computer does not meet the minimum requirement for installing this software'...
The TurboBoost Driver is required for Intel i5 and i7 Series Processors with Integrated Graphics on them...This Driver helps in 'TurboBoost' Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) Frequancy....Intel's Core i7-720QM, i7-740QM,i7-820QM and i7-840QM Processors, do not have Integrated Graphics on them...So this driver is not required... And The Processor TurboBoost feature works with Yellow Bang in device manager. Check below screenshot....So you can safely ignore the Yellow Bang for above stated processors.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with 'Accept as Solution', if it solves your problem.

Adobe won't start

A user is having problems with Acrobat. She has a license and it ran fine for a month, but then refused to run -- it just shuts down. What's going on?

She has the license, but did she ever activate Acrobat?

What can I do if my Windows 7 or Windows Vista laptop won't start?

I have joined many forums in my short computer life. This is by far the best forum that I have been a part of. It really up sets me when people come on here and complain before they have even given any of the staff or advisors a chance to help them with their problem. What can I do if my Windows 7 or Vista laptop won't start.

This is a great tutorial. Step by step to get your PC up and running and a lot more.Seriosly, if you can't follow this tutorial, you shouldn't have a computer. There will times when this won't work and you will have hardware problems. There are some great people here on the forum that can help you find those problems also. I have tried all these recovery options; they work, and I love my Toshiba laptop. That's why I donate my time to help and that's why others here donate their time.

Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

PS Some day I'm going to convince staff to make a sticky of these things; which would cut their work in half, but then I wouldn't have any thing to do.
Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.

Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
- uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
- uninstall Creative Cloud app
- uninstall flash player plugin
- run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
- install CC app
- install PP and relative AME
- NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
16gb ram
Intel i7 3820
GeForce GTX 670
latest version of flash, CC and firefox
no plugins installed for any CC software
flash on internet explorer works well

I finally find out how to fix this.
With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
Hope this fix will help someone.

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 won't start on my computer

The ScriptingSupport.8li that comes with Photoshop CS5.1 should have the module version 12.1.0.0 as well.
It sounds as if you have done something where you have mixed modules from an older version of Photoshop (CS3) into those that Photoshop CS5 is enumerating during startup.
Did you, by chance, copy the entire contents of a folder (e.g. plug-ins or scripts) and get extra files you didn't intend?
Have you set an Extra plug-ins folder up to point to the plug-ins for an earlier version of Photoshop?
Mixing up versions of Photoshop is a no-no.
You may want to start by clearing your Photoshop preferences... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediate after cold-starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough, and you have to be VERY quick to get the keys down, it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the preferences it already has set up, which will then cause it to use defaults.

I have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Eddition 3.2. It won't open or launch! What todo?

I have Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Eddition 3.2. It won't open or launch! It just sits there trying to open. How do I get it to open/launch? Do I get a new version of the software that is compatible to be able to import all my years accumulation of images and files? What to do?

Photoshop Album Starter Edition has been withdrawn almost five years ago. It is no longer supported, and can not be reinstalled.
You should switch to a different product.

Adobe Reader won't start automatically

I've downloaded Adobe Reader to my Windows8 system,, but when I try to open a pdf file fom on-line it asks me which App I want to use, but Reader isn't listed as a choice. When I clik look for other Apps on computer, I can't find Reader anywhere (not in programs, documents, etc). It will not start automatically. The only way I can't make it work is by Saving the pdf file, then going to my graphic start page and cliking the Adobe reader icon which has been there (and only there) since it was downloaded. It's really time consuming and I have a lot of psf files I have to go back and delte from my downloads

the App version self-loaded and it worked initially whenever I tried to open a pdf file, but this is a new touchscreen Acer and I'm used to having actual programs, not Apps and I don't quite understand it yet...Of course like everything else with Windows 8, most thing don't work the way they used to after you do any updates. I'd love to go back to Windows 7, or even XP. I got this for Christmas and so far (according to it's own software program), it's shut down a total of 418 times, the majority of causes had to do with Explorer.

Problem on adobe reader X, it won't start

Hallo guys.
I've a problem on 3 pc in my company.
When you double-click on the adobe reader X icon, the program won't start, no error message, no events in windows, absolutely nothing at all.
The systems affected are windows 7 64bit, the user is a local administrator.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Please let me know the following:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reade on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader.
2. Do you get a process in the task manager by the name of AcroRd32.exe when you double click on a PDF on these machines?
3. Are you able to launch Adobe Reader as a standalone application without trying to view any PDFs?
Thanks
Ankit

Sometimes Firefox won't start at all. If I restart the laptop, it does eventually start up. I am wondering if it is having problems with BitDefender wh;ich we have installed on the laptop and appears to be slowing online work.

When this occurs, Internet Explorer usually will start, but sometimes it is affected also and similarly will not start until the laptop is re-booted. I have tried all possible ways of starting Firefox but there doesn't seem to be any difference. Occasionally Firefox will start after some other work is done on the laptop without re-booting. Other work requiring an internet connection (updates mostly) do not seem to be affected ie. they work OK even when Firefox and Internet Explorer won't start. When I say "won't start" there is no message or anything, they just won't start.

G60-533CL Laptop won't start. HELP!

Hi, all -
My kids received a G60-533CL laptop with Windows 7 for Christmas. While playing Zoo Tycoon on it this afternoon, the computer suddenly shut down. When the power button is pressed, the little power light (middle lightning bolt LED on the bottom left of the keyboard) flashes three times, then nothing. Won't start at all. I've tried holding the button in for 10 seconds, removing the battery, and checked power connections. I can't get it to start.
Help!
Thanks,
Scott
