AE CS3 crashes in Windows 7 RTM on project close

Anyone else experiences this, or knows a remedy?
I run Adobe CS3 Master Edition on Windows 7. Ever since the pre-RC beta build 6800 from more than a half year ago all the way up to RC 7100 and 7232. There was never a problem with After Effects.
Now I purchased the RTM (7600), aka the real thing, and now After Effects crashes every time I close a project. Needles to say, this is very annoying.
What is up with that?
Technically, the Adobe forums are the worst ever. It's hard to find a browser that doesn't screw everything up.

I hope your salary will be secured soon.
Last active directory has always been the same, it's a different drive, no need to backup/copy on reinstallation of Windows.
All files can be fully read and written. If I save before I quit (read: crash), the project is saved.
I don't see the problem with my permissions, but you are definitely on to something. I tried saving the project on my desktop, and then it didn't crash on quit. Save it back in the project folder -> crash on quit.
Here are my permissions for the project folder. Full Control is on overkill.
Authenticated Users (Full Control)
SYSTEM (Full Control)
Administrators (Full Control)
Users (Read and List only)
The users I use in this case is an administrator and (obviously) also an authenticated user.
I'm pretty good with computers but I've never used gpedit.msc and on first look I cannot see something remotely related to permissions or group settings. All about scripts?
The 'Take Ownership' used to be in the context menu but apparently they removed it on the final version. The properties-permissions sais the owner is S1-1-21-something, which is obviously the previous owner (previous installation of Windows). I changed it to my user, and now it works!
So three things:
Thanks!
Any idea why? It already has 3 times Full Control permissions
I like to give permissions to the entire drive for everyone (linux: 777), so all subdirs inherit those permissions and when I swap the drive between different computers (or users) I don't have to redo this for all folders I use. Logic sais it's already done by those permissions above, but reality sais AE will crash.

CS3 crashing with Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hello everyone,
I have been experiencing alot of issues since I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP 32 bit, to a Windows 7 - 64 bit.
I am working with CS3. I can be working on Indesign and all of a sudden it just disappears. No warning, no error messages, just disappears. Then when I try and reopen it, the application does nothing. If I try and reopen an old file, the machine just sits at a stand still. I have also noticed that all the Indesign icons (from previous files) do not appear as the little Indesign purple icon.. they are just blank white pages.
Also, I can no longer PDF anything... I get an error code from this, but not sure how to read the error.
Does anything have any solutions to offer me, as I have tried to reinstall the entire CS3 program, but that obviously did not help.
I am willing to take any advice I can get at this point.

Hmm... Well, I use CS3 daily on 64-bit Win7, so rest assured it can be made to work.
However, first off: when you say this:
I have been experiencing alot of issues since I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP 32 bit, to a Windows 7 - 64 bit.
do you mean literally "upgrade?" As in, you threw a Win7 disk into your XP machine and just installed Windows 7 on top of Windows XP? Or did you buy a new computer, or did you format your hard drive before installing Win7?
Also, I can no longer PDF anything... I get an error code from this, but not sure how to read the error.
Proabably unrelated, but if you could post (at least part of) the error message, or a screenshot of the error, we might be able to figure out something from it.
Lastly, if you've already tried an uninstall/reinstall, then you may want to try again, but this time use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. If the uninstaller failed to uninstall files or settings, then the old files or settings could be interfering with your new install. The Cleaner Tool will go through your hard drive and registry (after you uninstall again the normal way) and exterminate any leftover bits of your previous install(s). This will probably resolve your issues, unless you did install Win7 on top of WinXP, in which case the uninstall-CS-cleanup-and-reinstall-CS routine might not be a one-shot fix for you.

CS3 crashes after windows XP update

Hello
Running or should say was running PS CS3 with the 10.0.1 update. Things have been great for long time.
THen the other day my XP updated a bunch of security updates and Netf framework updates. Afterwards I had to reinstall my Nvidia drivers also.
Since then it crashes on startup.
Error Signature is
AppName photoshope.exe appver 10.0.1.0 appstamp 470fd6cb
modname adobeowl.dll    modver 1.0.92.0 modstamp 45d9776d
idebug 0 offset 00069b7d
watching the screen its during intializing pallets that the error comes up.
I tried reinstalling the patch but that didn't help.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
THanks

I assume by crash log you are more referring to Apple computers. No crash log in XP unless you mean entries in one of the logs from the crash.
Any ways only thing I see is this.

Premiere Pro CS3 crashes when trying to load my projects.

Hi,
All help is appreciated! I'm going nuts after searching for days through forums for solutions.
The problem started when I was working on a project. I realised that the HD Quality footage I was editing with wasn't converted properly so i downloaded a new program that would help convert to a higher quality. With the program came the "K-Lite Codec Pack". I decided it couldn't hurt so i installed it. After doing so, everytime i opened Premiere it would crash after i tried to load any project. I tried re-installing Premiere, detecting broken codecs, uninstalling the K-Lite Codec Pack and have no luck. Briefly after re-installing Premiere it strangely worked a couple of times but then somehow it's up to it old tricks and crashing on load. Does it have anything to do with the "Main Concept" codecs missing? I also tried getting the ad2ac3dec.dll and putting it in the folder but it has done nothing. I even went back to Premiere CS2 but same issue!
I have a lot of time invested in these projects so any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you.

despite sounding very time consuming, I think thats exactly what I'd doing in this case. something has gone horridly wrong (a file has been overwritten somewhere) and a fresh OS sounds like a pretty good aproach to me!

DW CS3 Crash

I was stepping my way through a tutorial on the Adobe.Com
site when Dreamweaver CS3 crashed and Windows asked me if I wanted
to send a report to Microsoft. Very odd. I've been using DW CS3
since it came out, and have never before seen it crash.
The tutorial is the one at:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/addt_image_gallery_pt1_03.html
I completed step 5, at which point the crash occurred. It
happens every time that I open that file (upload_image.php).
Another strange thing about it is that it ONLY crashes if I am in
the CODE view, but not in the DESIGN view of Dreamweaver.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here? If you've got
the time, I'd like to hear if you can go through that same tutorial
without a problem.
Thanks
Dreamweaver 9.0, build 3481

Windows XP SP2

Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when closing a pdf

Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when I close a pdf. This means that if I have multiple files open, all of them close. I get an error message from windows that the problem is due to windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). I tried making Adobe an exception to windows' DEP and re-started the computer but this did not help the problem. Any ideas about how to fix this problem?

So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
Thank you so much in advanced.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
Is this a common problem?

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

CS3 Incopy crashes on Windows 7

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my pagination system to use CS3 under Windows 7.
I am now experiencing nightly InCopy CS3 crashes on both 32-bit, 4 gig Windows 7 machines and 64-bit 12-gig machines.
My vendor has traced the InCopy crashes to notes inside teh story/file possible at certain locations.
Are there any know issues with CS3 running under 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 that could be related to notes modes with CS3 Incopy?
Any help would be appreciated.
Malcolm

Vendor software. We went from CS2 on Win2000 machines to CS3 on Windows 7. New software uses CS3 Incopy and InDesign to create pages. Getting sparodic situations where InCopy woukld crash so we have to unlock files, strip out notes, and then we're ok.
Other sites are on Windows 7 but most are on XP.
Just wondering if there are any known issues with CS3 on Windows 7 even though Microsoft has not certified CS3.
May have to take the drastic step of going from Windows 7 to XP.

Encore CS3 crashes when building to Flash (Windows)

I've built a project that has no problem burning a DVD or rendering an ISO image. However, when I try to author a Flash version of the project, it spends hours transcoding, then Encore CS3 crashes. (Generic Windows "Encore CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close" error.) The only issue that shows up when checking the project is an orphan timeline, but it is linked into the project through playlists.
Any suggestions on how to create a flash version successfully?
Specs:
AMD Dual Core 4800+ (2.51Ghz)
2 Gigs memory
Windows XP SP3

I'm also having issues with Encore crashing all of the time. Whenever I try to build a flash file it crashes near the end. I have a few large videos in there and can build a flash file without the videos in, but why does it keep crashing when the videos are in.... I thought this is what this software is designed for!
Has anyone had any luck getting around their crashes?
To reduce the size of the videos what setting do you suggest changing?
Thanks and good luck to everyone else using Encore!
Matt.

Indesign CS3 Crashes Randomly on Windows x64, Dual Monitor Setup

My coworker and I just had our computers upgraded Windows XP 64-bt on the following computer setup:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz CPU
8GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte GA-EX58 Intel X58 Motherboard
1TB Seagate ES.2 7200rpm 32MB Cache SATAII Hard Drive
We're running CS3. Indesign keeps crashing on her machine, randomly from what we can tell. It runs fine on my machine.
We are running Indesign in compatibility mode for Windows XP on both machings (the crashing was much worse before we turned it on).
The only difference between my computer and the workstation where Indesign CS3 crashes is she has a dual monitor setup.
Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

Thanks for the heads up.We're actually kinda banking on Windows 7 to be a bit more stable and switch to that, but it's a long few months when your program crashes every few minutes.
I just realized that we don't have the latest update (5.0.4) on her machine, we've downloaded it and are hoping that will help to at least reduce the crashing...

CS3 Crashes on "Save As" in Windows XP

Anyone come accross this and have a solution. I can't use the "Save As" command as CS3 crashes as soon as I try to alter the save destination.
Thanks

That is most likely unrelated to PS itself. More of an issue with your user permissions that do not allow you to peek outside the default user directory. Check your user status and promote yourself to Power User at least (XP Professional). Assuming you are on XP Home, simply create a new user account. It's easier than trying to clean up the tainted old account. Use the migration tool in yourt Accessories program group to transfer settings...

How to Install Windows 8 RTM on a T530 - special tips for NVS5400

Windows 8 RTM may be a finished product, but getting all devices to work on a laptop can be difficult. I hope that this advice saves time for anyone who wishes to try out Windows 8 on a new Thinkpad. Needless to say, what worked for me may not work in your situation, and I recommend staying with Windows 7 if reliability and productivity are your main concerns. Remember that you will need to reinstall Windows 8 when it is officially released, because there is no upgrade path from the Enterprise RTM preview.
1. Image your working installation with Acronis TrueImage or similar tools. These instructions are for a clean install.
2. Before logging off for the last time, be sure that the Wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. If Bluetooth is switched off, Windows 8 will not be able to see it.
3. If you are using Windows 8 64 bit, I recommend switching the BIOS to UEFI only. This seems to make everything easier. UEFI doesn't recognize NTFS, so you must format a USB drive with FAT32 and then simply copy the contents of the Windows 8 ISO over to the USB. For Windows 8 32 bit, leave the legacy boot compatibility enabled.
4. Install from the DVD or USB key. If you are using UEFI, you will have to delete all existing partitions and install on the unallocated space. UEFI requires a GPT partition, which it will create automatically.
Drivers -- the difficult part
Set a system restore point now and another one before installing any new video drivers.
I first installed the Windows 7 Intel chipset driver update. I am not sure this is necessary, but it updates the SATA and USB3 drivers.
I installed the Lenovo power management driver from the Lenovo Windows 8 driver page, and then installed the Power Manager App from the T530 page. It will occasionally crash when opened, but will work well enough to change settings. I also installed the Windows 7 hotkey application, which works in Win8. Likewise, the Windows 7 audio drivers work.
If the Windows 7 Ricoh driver for your laptop doesn't load, try the Windows 8 beta version. One works, the other refuses to load. I'm afraid I don't remember which is which.
I installed the Intel Management adapter 8.1 from the Windows 8 beta page, and it loaded with no problems.
If you don't have a NVS5400, then you should be done. If you do, then you must NOT install the Windows 7 video drivers. They will cause an endless loop on boot. Update the Intel video driver manually if you wish (via device manager). You can run the Win7 driver program, let it extract the contents, and then cancel before it starts the setup program. I am using 9.17.10.2768 for the Intel HD 4000.
I went to the Nvidia site to get the latest Win8 beta NVS5400 (mobile) driver. Choose the ODE version. I am using version 304.79. I installed this (leaving out 3D, which I don't use) and it seems to work perfectly. Photoshop CS5 recognizes it as a valid OpenGL device.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

CS3 crashes, every time I open it

Flash cs3 crashes on me every time I open it. Sometimes I can open a file before it crashes and sometimes it crashes even if it's just the software that's open.
The message I get is the generic Windows "Flash has closed unexpectedly would you like to send an error report, sorry for the inconvenience"...
It makes it hard to get any work done when the software won't run properly.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You could try re-installing the software - ...or you could try calling tech support and wait on hold for an hour or two before someone from another part of the world tries to walk you through a couple more hours of frustration before telling you they've tried everything they know - "maybe it's your computer"...
Sorry if I sound synical, but I just spent $1800 on a full e-Learning suite that won't load, and I've spent two full days back and forth and on hold with Adobe's so-called support to no avail - and now it "must be my computer causing a conflict..."
So... "I could try re-installing the Operating System and wiping the computer clean" (and re-installing ALL of my previous softwares), and that might help...
Good luck with your issue... At least they "apologize for the inconvenience" when it crashes...

Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing at open file screen

Hi all
I've searched online but can't find a relative discussion or solution.
I have Adobe Photoshop CS3. My system is Windows 7 and it's 64-bit (that's about as far as my hardware/technical knowledge goes...).
The problem has only started happening today. Open PS, and go to FILE>OPEN. A sub screen is opened. On the left of this sub-screen are a variety of short cut locations such as 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'My Computer'. Clicking on any of these shortcut tabs results in PS crashing.
The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used PS CS3 on my machine (and I use it daily) is the following:
Installed trial version of Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014
From this, to watch a Flash video of AutoCAD demo I had to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (it was 2011 I believe).
Following the CS3 crashing problems I uninstalled Flash player and re-started but still no luck.
Have not touched AutoCAD yet.
Any thoughts / comments? My company is looking to invest in AutoCAD so CS3 will need to learn to live alongside AutoCAD (IF AutoCAD is the problem, but I think this is unlikely).
Let me know what you all think!
Thanks
David

Thanks for all the replies.
We (myself and our company IT guy) just tried several of the above, plus some other things.
1. Shift/ctl/alt reset preferences. Did not solve the problem.
2. Video driver upgrade. Did not solve the problem.
3. Complete reinstall of CS3. Did not solve the problem.
4. Install old video driver (apparently this solved a similar problem in another area of the company). Did not solve the problem.
5. System rollback/restore (to 20-11-2013 settings). PROBLEM SOLVED!
We have a suspicion therefore that the Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014 may be something to do with it. We will find out later/tomorrow as I need to get some stuff done in CS3 now (can't afford more lost time!).
Will update once we have reinstalled AutoCAD LT 2014 as to whether this changed anything.
Thanks again
David

Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
that it should be of high importance that these issues are
resolved.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
and Vista?

Hi cptv8
I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
early adopters.
You stated:
Technically vista is not due to domestic market until january
07, however businesses will be able to purchase vista in only two
weeks, and as Captivate is generally used for business/training use

You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
clicking
here.
Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
can.
Sincerely... Rick
