"An internal error occurred" Adobe Fireworks CS4 login problem

When loading up Adobe Fireworks CS4, I keep getting "An internal error occurred" message. I have looked before online for solutions and tried isolating potentially corrupt fonts that could be preventing the programme not loading as well as deleting the Prefs.xml file. However, these solutions don't seem to work.
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please let me know the following:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader.
    If its not Reader 10.1.3, please update to the latest version and see if it solves the problem.
2. Which antivirus software are you using. Can you try disabling the same and see if it solves the problem.
3. Are you using any 3rd party plug-ins? If you are not sure, then please delete all files and folder present at:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins
    Now try and repair the installation from the Control Panel > Programs and Features.

    The same version having issue in the multiple OS installed computers.
    Thanks in advance.

    Since you did not say, I will assume you are running on Win 7, possibly X64. The first step to 10.0 is to do the updates and see if that resolves your issue. There is a good chance that is the problem.
    OK, taking the long approach to find out your OS, it is XP, sp3. In any case, the first step is to do your updates and see if that resolves the issue. It is a waste of time to trouble shoot something that may have already been fixed.

  • Stop the Internal Error Message in Fireworks CS4 or CS3

    About 8 hours ago I ran into what is apparently a fairly
    common problem for many people using Fireworks - the error message
    that wouldn't allow me to save anything. Luckily, I paid attention
    in class long enough to at least know to save my work often, so I
    didn't lose much - just a basic wireframe that I threw together in
    15 minutes or so. Thankfully, I tried saving when I did or this
    would probably be a very tearful night for me. Instead, it's just a
    long night. I can deal with that.
    But, before I pat my iMac on the top of it's screen and say
    "goodnight" I wanted to share with you the secret to "fixing" the
    error message. Hopefully this will help those poor souls in the
    future who need a little guidance from someone who's been there,
    done that, and is too tired to design the t-shirt. This method will
    also work on Windows machines.
    I'm not saying this is guaranteed to work for you, but I'm
    telling you it's worth a shot. It only requires a little of your
    time to do and will hopefully be the fix you need. If it's not,
    please accept my sincerest understanding of your frustration and
    try another method. This fix suggests that you have added, removed,
    or relocated fonts on your computer since the last time Fireworks
    worked properly, however, even if you haven't done any of those
    things I'd still recommend giving this a try. Here's what you do:
    1. Open your favorite font manager software. I prefer the
    pre-installed Font Book on the Mac, but you can use any font
    manager that you want. Some good commercial font management
    programs for Mac include, MasterJuggler, Suitcase Fusion, FontAgent
    Pro, and Font Explorer X. For Windows you might want to try, Font
    Fitting Room, X-Fonter, Suitcase for Windows, OT1 Font Manager by J
    M Berthier, MainType, FontExplorer for Windows, Printer’s
    Apprentice, FontAgent Pro for Windows, Typograf, or FontExpert.
    Those are in no particular order, just in case you were wondering.
    2. select all of your installed fonts - including your system
    fonts. Run your "validate font" command for the font management
    program you're using. Sit back and let it work. I had more than
    6,000 fonts on my Mac, so it took a few minutes to run through all
    of them.
    3. Your font management program should let you know which, if
    any, of your fonts are corrupt, duplicates, or otherwise
    dead-weight. Chances are there will be a few if you're getting the
    internal error message at start-up or save with Fireworks. You need
    to delete or at least remove these fonts from the fonts folder. I
    had, and I'm ashamed of this, 256 duplicates and 135 dead fonts on
    my poor computer. But, in my own defense, I did just reinstall many
    of the fonts a few days ago and was planning to gradually work
    through them to pull out the dead/unwanted ones. I should have done
    that before putting them to disc last time, but no... I wasn't
    thinking.
    4. once you have the fonts removed/deleted that produced
    errors or warnings during the scan with your font management
    program you might want to run the scan one more time just to be
    sure you got everything out. If everything looks good, you can now
    quit/exit the font manager.
    5. here's where things will seriously divide for Windows
    users and Mac users. Therefore, I'm not going to fully explain
    where you need to go or how to get there for this step, but I will
    provide the basics. On your computer, you need to find the folders
    for fireworks that contain your preferences for the program (hint,
    look in the user's appdata folders, which is hidden, for Windows or
    the user's Library for Mac). Inside the preferences folder you'll
    find a file that houses a list of fonts, probably called fontlist
    or something very similar. Delete it. You might also wish to delete
    the cache for the program preferences. Those need to be regenerated
    in order for this to work.
    6. Find your computer's font cache while you're looking
    through the massive amounts of folders and delete the file there
    too for a little added security that this will work.
    7. restart your computer.
    8. open Fireworks and create a new file. Save that file to
    your computer in whatever format you want.
    If the program opened, the file saved, and you didn't receive
    that same old error message, congratulations, it worked! You may
    have to re-establish your preference settings, but you shouldn't
    have any other problems.
    That is the best I can do this evening... or morning I
    suppose it would be. Best of luck to you!

    An update is being made to address some major problems, if
    you hold
    tight you might find a solution soon.

    I have WINDOWS 7 64-bit....computer was working fine...now I can no longer open any .pdf files...I don't want to pay ADOBE $39 for something that I should be able to use for free.
    I tried installing and re-installing ADOBE READER X with no luck with a restart in between...NO LUCK.

    Hi,
    Could you please try and reset the permissions on the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\" folder.
    You can do the same by:
    Right-click the folder, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
    On the Security tab, click Permissions.
    Select the Administrators group, and then click Full Control in the Type of Access list.
    Select the SYSTEM group, and then click Full Control in the Type of Access list
    Click on the Advanced button and check the "Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects" checkbox.
    Click OK.
    Click OK in the folder name Properties dialog box (where folder name is the name of the folder that you selected in step 1).
    Please try and run a repair operation by following the below mentioned steps:
      1. Launching Control Panel and clicking on Programs and Features.
      2. Find the entry for Adobe Reader X and right click and chose "Change"
      3. Follow the instructions to Repair your installation and restart if necessary.
    Hopefully this will resolve the problem on your system.
    Thanks

  • CS4 - "Could not render the database. An Internal error occured"

    I just purchased FW CS4 (full) to replace my ancient
    Fireworks 4 (yes, *4*). Unfortunately, CS4 tries to update text in
    my old FW files and promptly displays a message "Could not render
    the database. An internal error occured." It would really suck if I
    bought this but cannot edit my old FW files! Anyone else having
    this trouble and know of a solution?
    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell XPS 420 with
    a quad core processor.

    Can you try the following solution posted at another Thread
    which relates to Vista functioning?
    "Navigate to the program file for the extension manager and
    select properties. On the compatibility tab select the option to
    run as administrator, click on the all users options and select run
    as administrator for all users if desired and then apply. Of course
    the option is only available if you have the UAC turned on.
    Now, re-install the extensions and you should have no
    problems. You'll just have to deal with the UAC everytime you use
    the extension manager."
    Does it solve the extensions installation issue?

  • Can't launch Adobe Reader 11.0.06: 'An internal error occurred'

    Today I purchased a highly recommended e-book ('Rally All Around') which is available by download. Double clicking on its file brought up a message that I needed a newer version of Adobe Reader, and linked me directly to 11.0.06 (Mac) on the Adobe site, which I downloaded and installed. Unfortunately, this application refuses to launch: irrespective of whether I try to launch it directly, from the Applications Folder, or by double clicking the new book, I receive the 'An internal error occurred' error message and the program shuts down. I have followed the advice provided in this forum for a previous version of Reader: I deleted all existing versions of the program, as well as the Adobe Folder in my Library, then attempted to reinstall. I've also used 'Get Info' to ensure I have the required read/write permissions on the application, and the Adobe Library Folder. Unfortunately now I have lost the ability to open any PDF file at all!  I'm very unimpressed (to say the least!) that I have lost hours trying to troubleshoot this problem, as well as my money for the book and functionality on my machine! I am running Mac OS X 10.9.1 on an Intel Core i5. I'd be grateful for help, and advice, if you care to share. I'd like to count to 10 and try and fix this, before succumbing to the temptation to send a howler to the publisher.

    I did eventually solve it, and I think it was using this advice I received on the Adobe Forums:
    The error that you are facing might be due the reason that the user logged in doesn't have permissions to access the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Can you please try the following steps with the user account in which you are facing the error:
    1. Remove the Adobe Reader from Applications directory by moving it to Trash.
    2. Now delete the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Please note that this path is for the Library folder present inside the user directory that you are currently logged in.
    3. Restart the machine.
    4. Now re-install Adobe Reader XI.

  • Windows 7 and Adobe 9.3.3 - an internal error occurred

    Have installed Windows 7 on a domain client PC.  Have downloaded the only version available (9.3.3) for Windows 7.  End user belongs to Administrator Group on the domain and is also an Administrator if logged into the computer itself.  Download and installation completes without visible error.  A click on the desktop icon produces a popup that says, "An internal error occurred."  That's it - nothing else happens and you're returned to the Win7 desktop.  Compatibility adjustments do not help.
    If logged into the machine itself (bypassing domain), the download is completed AND the Adobe Reader runs correctly.  BUT IT DOES NOT RUN WHILE CONNECTED TO THE DOMAIN.
    Please advise.

    Could you please try and execute the following commands on your end  (via both the processes i.e. User logged in on Domain and User logged in  after bypassing domain)
    echo %userprofile% (Should return an existing and verifiable path for the logged in user's data)
    echo %username% (Should return the User Name of the logged in user)
    This would help you to figure out whether this is a problem with the User Profile path being incorrect or not.

  • Adobe Reader 11 - An internal error occurred - Mac OS X 10.9.1

    My system is a Mac OS X 10.9.1 which had Adobe Reader working perfectly fine.
    I have downloaded and installed the NEW Adobe Reader 11 yesterday.
    Every time I open a PDF from any web browser I get a "An internal error occurred" message and nothing opens.
    I also get the same error message when I try to open the application from the Applications folder.
    There is NO error code ssociated with the error message.
    All previous Adobe Reader versions worked fine.
    I deleted the "Adobe" folder from the "Library" directory, installed an older version of Adobe Reader but still get the same message.
    I have said all the information I have.
    Please let me know the solution.

    Files to delete:
    Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe - Trash the Reader folder.
    Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins - Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
    [user]/Library/Preferences - Trash the com.Adobe.Reader.plist file. (Hold the "Option" key when clicking "Go" from the Finder menu to access your [user]/Library folder)
    Mac HD/Applications - Trash the Adobe Reader app.
    Empty the trash.
    THEN download the FULL installer from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    That should get you a "clean install" of Reader and the  plug-ins for it.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1.3 - Internal Error Occurred??

    Been battling for hours trying to get the bog standard reader to work with a new MBP running 10.7.4.  It downloads and installs OK and I get the licensing page but after clicking 'Agree' I just get 'An Internal Error Occurred'.
    Suffice it to say this is driving me mad now.  I've tried deleting, re-installing, eliminating all traces of Adobe from User and Root libraries under Application Support, Preferences and also Internet Plug Ins.  I've also tried the (not) fix of installing Java Runtime.
    All in all, epic fail. NOTHING seems to fix it and I think it's time to give up with Adobe Reader and find something else or just stick with preview.  So much time to fix a bog standard application (maybe I should stick with Windows where "It just works").  Really is a royal PITA.  I've scoured the net for problems and I'm just wondering if it's a commong problem seeing as I don't see many others reporting it.  I certainly don't plan on doing a full system restore just to sort this out.
    Anyone come across it or got any ideas to save me wasting yet more of my life on this?  Any hep appreciated.

    Right. After almost a day I finally sorted the problem.
    Adobe Reader worked under the spare Admin account so I deleted that in case it was confusing the installer.  I then rerpaired persmissions.  I then re-installed Reader.  Same problem "Internal Error"!!
    So, I re-created another Admin account and opened Reader.  No problem.  After clicking accept licence it opened up with a question to make default or not.  After this I hunted through every folder and found that Under 'User/Librarary/Application Support/Adobe' there was an Acrobat folder.  When I checked the account I normally use there wasn't, and never was??  So I copied pasted a copy of the Acrobat folder into the same location on the non working account and all is fine.
    Problem for me is, why did this happen?  I wasted almost a day on this. Is it a problem with the installer, the Macbook or Permissions.  I checked permissions and they are identical to those on the spare Admin account.  So why did the installer not create the Acrobat folder on the main account from where it was installed?  Reason it concerns me is with regard to updates.  Will they also screw up?
    I'll try to explore further as times goes on but for now I have to say I've had enough of Acrobat and Lion for one day.  "It just works".  Really???

  • Trying to open a large PDF and receive "an internal error occurred"  with Adobe Pro. X

    Hello,
    We have one user, she has Adobe Pro. X installed, that is having an issue opening a particular PDF that is 37 MBs in size.  When she tries to open it up, she receives the "an internal error occurred" message.  If she opens up another PDF that is in the same folder (all the PDFs is on the network share) that is smaller in size (less than 100 KB) it opens just fine.  I checked for any Adobe updates and downloaded and installed the update(s) that it found.
    After it's been patched, I rebooted and still have the same issue.  Surprisingly nothing was found in my searches to help this....
    Thoughts?

    Hi screener333,
    Did you get any errors during Acrobat installation?
    If Acrobat is crashing during first launch then it might be an issue with licensing as well.
