Contribute CS3 won't load

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with 2048MB memory and I'm trying
to load Contribute CS3.
The version I have is for Intelcentrino(which I have),Windows
Vista (which I have).
I've tried stopping the firewall with no luck.
It seems to be crashing every time.
When I click on 'Set Up' the Adobe 'Set Up' box appears for a
couple of seconds then it disappears.
What am I doing wrong!!!
Help I'm going MAD.

You may want to try clearing the user preferences.

InDesign / InCopy CS3 - won't load software but appears in task mgr

We are going through a computer upgrade and am trying to install Adobe CS3 InCopy and InDesign on these new machines.
We purchased HP 6005 Pro PC's with AMD Athlon II processors and are running Windows XP operating system.
Installing both pieces of software goes though fine. But when you try to turn on the programs, nothing happens. Nothing loads on the screen. The only thing shows that the software is running is in the Task Manager.
We have plenty of memory, plenty of hard drive space. But we can't figure out why the software won't load onto our screens. After extensive research online, the only thing we can find is that there could be a driver incompatibility. Nothing conclusive on whether our processors are incompatible either.
Does anyone have any insight on the issue?

This is symptomatic of a dialog open behind other windows or off-screen that is waiting for your response. It used to happen fairly often with multiple monitors, especially flat screens not running at native resolution.
Make sure you run the updater and patch to the last release, and then search this forum for "multiple monitors" and you should find a tremendous amount of discussion and a lot of things to try to correct it, including opeing a dialog in Photoshop and resizing it, and using the arrow keys to try to bring the dialog into the viewing area.
Use the special search widget on the topics page, not the general "search forums" box on the top of every page.

We are installing and using the software under the administrator logins.
My main concern is that we purchased computers that have a processor that is incompatible with Adobe InCopy/InDesign CS3. We purchased two types of PC's, some with AMD Atholon II processors and some with Intel Core2 vpro processors. InDesign/Incopy CS3 were going to go on the Intel's (more power computer) and the InCopy was going to only go on the AMD's.
Prior to receiving the CS3 versions of the software, I hadn't been aware that was the version we were being assigned by our corporate office. After looking at the requirements of CS3 on the adobe site, it only mentions Intel Processors as basic requirements.
(We purchasd the computers with AMD's to save some money....the users requiring InCopy didn't need "as much computer" as the InDesign users).
Could the processor be the problem?

Contribute CS3 won't let me format text

Contribute suddenly won’t let me format text (bold,
underline, etc.). Neither shortcut keys, nor buttons, nor menu
selections work. The only way I can make something bold, for
example, is to copy and paste text that is currently bolded in
another program.

What happens when you choose file>place? Do you get a dialog box that doesn't let you choose what to place, or does nothing happen at all, or something else?

CS3 won't load on Mac G5

Before we left for the weekend everything was fine, now 2 computers have the same issue.
CS3 on PowerPC G5 OS10.5.8 - Bridge loads fine, all other apps seem to load and operate normally. CS3 gets to the Blue Splash screen and then I get the spinning wheel of death. Why isn't it loading, what do I need to do?
Called Adobe and they directed me here. The guy on the phone knew what the problem was and wouldn't tell me because "your product is no longer supported." WTH? - you know what it is and you can' tell me? Nice!

It was a Kubota issue - not PS. Still since Adobe knew of the issue couldn't the tech on the phone said - "Check with Kubota" instead of me wasting half a day because CS3 is no longer supported. Thanks Adobe

Indesign CS3 won't load

Every time I try to start Indesign I get this popup
I am on a Mac running 10.5.8.
I have copied the entire Plug-ins folder from my Mac Pro, (also running CS3 & still working) but that didn't help.
I was able to trash preferences when starting Indesign (CMD-Option-CNTL-Shift) but since it didn't finish loading I don't know if it worked.
It worked fine yesterday.
Ideas?

Found the answer in another forum, with instructions. Deleting the SING file solved the problem.

Contribute CS5 won't load

Trying to use Contribute Cs5 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
When trying to run Contribute as a user rather than the administrative account which installed the program I get the following error message:
"Could not locate the Resources file in the Configuration folder. This file is required to run Contribute. Please reinstall the application"
The program loads without any problems as the administrative account which installed it.

Adobe InDesign CS3 won't load

You don’t need CS2, only the serial number.

Fireworks CS3 won't load

I just upgraded to Fireworks CS3 from Fireworks 8. When I
open Fireworks CS3 I receive the following error:
"Your user privileges do not allow Fireworks to update your
registry. Launch and Edit with Dreamweaver will not work properly
until Fireworks is launched while using Administrative privileges."
I am the administrator on my computer and am signed in as
such. Can anyone help me with this PLEASE!
Thank you.

Thanks for the help. I ended up having to get technical
support on the phone and I had a software that was attaching itself
to LR for some reason. All good now. Thanks!

CS3 won't boot until CS2 is loaded

First, excuse me for my approximative english (I'm french... nobody is perfect !)
On a friend's computer where CS3 was working fine, after trying to open a file, indesign won't work anymore ...
The indesign process is running but not the soft.
I've tryed to open a cs3 file with cs2 (got some errors... no surprise !) but CS3 would come up after ...
What could block CS3 and why it comes up after bringing up and shutting CS2 ???
How strange

No, even if I close the process and re-run indesign CS3 the soft won't load ... the process uses 100% of the computer's capacity (even after 5 minutes) ...
CS2 is working fine so I've tried to open a CS3 project with it ( testing everything ... expected errors ). After closing CS2 I've tried to re-run CS3 and it worked !
The only way for my friend to use CS3 is to open his project with CS2, close, and run CS3...The 2 softs were working fine before opening a file ( don't know anything about this file )

CS3/Dreamweaver 9 won't load

I've had the CS3 version of Dreamweaver on my computer for a while now, but all of a sudden the program won't load when I click the icon to start it. I'll get the hourglass for a second and then nothing, just a regular mouse pointer.
I used the disc to reinstall it and fix any errors, but the same thing happens.
Looking at the FAQ I've deleted a corrupted cache file and the only file that could be causing the 8KB bug is the 32KB HTML "Configuration Read Me" file.
So the question is -- what can I do to get Dreamweaver to work again? Do I delete the read me since it's the only file that could be causing the 8KB bug or do I do something else?
The system info: Windows XP-Service Pack 2, all the updates are current, firewall/virus scan is Kaspersky 8.0 (Dreamweaver and other Adobe products have full access/all permissions), 1GB RAM.
Thank you.

Hi Jessica,
Can you check the Help menu and sign in information?
If your Adobe id is shown there, then please try below steps once
1. Sign out from DW (Using Help menu > sign out)
2. Quit Dreamweaver
3. Wait for 1 minute and restart Dreamweaver
See if this helps. Also share Help > About Dreamweaver snapshot and error snapshot as well.
Thanks,
Lalita

Contribute CS3 not working with Leopard

Hi,
Ever since I loaded Lopard onto my Mac - Contribute won't
connect to any of my websites.
Says it can't connect 'because the server is down or not
accepting connections.'
Is anyone else having this issue - and does anyone know the
cure?
I've re-installed - but still won't work.
Thanks,
- Greg

This issue has been reported couple of time in this thread, i
was able to get the site info twice from the users and for one site
it was not connecting from the Tiger itself because of the site
issue and for the next one it was working from the 3 leopard test
machines we tried.
We have tested Contribute CS3 on Leopard and it works fine.
In case if the user is hitting any issue then it is important to
reproduce it then only we nail it down.
I do understand that you may not like to give the information
and for that only the second option is:
1. One test folder inside the site
2. One test role and a test user under the same role
3. Provide the access to the user only to that folder by
administering the site -> Select the role->Edit Role
settings->Folder File Access->Only allow editing within these
folders -> Add the test folder in the list
In this case i will be having the access to only one
particular folder which you can very well delete later on.

ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

Hello Aristoph,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues. If you follow the directions in order it may help:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
