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.

You may want to try clearing the user preferences.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't load since I installed Yosemite!

    Since loading Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 won't load and I get this window!
    I'm on an iMac 21.5 mid 2011.

    It seems a lot of people are running it without a problem, just seems to be me that has this issue at the moment, I have just got CS5, but I need it and can't afford the stupid leasing system they now have. I just want the product I paid for to work, or I will have to find a similar system that I can simply buy and use, not pay out for every year!
    I had this when Mavericks came out and it was sorted, something to do with Java, but can't remember what...

  • CS5 won't load on my New Windows 8 computer

    My computer was fried by lightening and I bought a new Windows 8 computer.  I have CS5, but it won't load.  The disc doesn't automatically start in the drive, and when I look at the files on the disc, I cannot locate a setup, install, or .exe file.  Any suggestions?

    I wouldn't count on CS5 working with Win 8 but in this case you may have
    a bad disk (or you're using the content disk). You can download the
    installer from here:

    Follow the directions EXACTLY or it won't work. You can use your serial
    number to activate it.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 won't load

    I have been using Dreamweaver CS5 and now recently it will not load. When I try to open dreamweaver all I get in the menu bar is "Dreamweaver" under that "Services, Hide Dreamweaver, Hide Other, Hide All, Quit". Can some one help. I reinstalled Dreamweaver to try and fix this to no prevail.

    I find no adobe folder in preferences. But i do find::
    com.adobe.dreamweaver-9.0.plist
    Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Prefs
    I tried trashing both, but it did not fix the problem. All it did was ask me to pick another browser.
    Unless there's an easy fix I won't bother reinstalling. Regarding the comment from the Adobe salesman, I don't use DW enough to warrant buying a new version for $200. DW 3 works fine, it just won't load the help menu, which also works fine when I load it in Preview.
    I know enough about computers to opine that there is probably a solution to this without having to reinstall. Like renaming the help file, or maybe someone telling me where to place it in the file hierarchy. Actually, I tried placing it in 4 other places. No luck.

  • Photoshop cs5 won't load, start or open

    I have a 32 bit windows vista os. I used to have Master collection cs3. I installed photoshop cs5 stand alone on top of it. It worked for about a month then one day when I clicked the Ps icon I was asked what program I wanted to start photoshop in, The same thing happened for dreamweaver cs3 and photoshop cs3.
    I ran a malware scan and when I tried to open photshop it said my license had expired.
    I took ps5 and all the cs3 programs off and did a clean install of ps5. Photoshop said it was a successful install. Now when i click the ps5 icon the hour glass/circle spins for a couple seconds, then stops and no program comes up.
    The adobe bridge and lightroom 3 work.
    I can't open the ps cs5 by file association or through adobe bridge either. It's like everything is there and ready to go but adobe doesn't want me to use the program that i bought a month ago.

    how do i get an event log for the event of not opening

  • Cs5 won't load since yosemite update

    Since I updated with Yosemite I can't open my Photoshop cs5. I get the error message ...
    To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
    I have updated my Java, verified it and it all seems up to date. I have also uninstalled and re installed my CS5 but still no joy!
    What should I try next????

    It wants this one: Java for OS X 2014-001  Install and it should fix the problem.
    Here is the reference if you are not sure. Why do I need "legacy Java SE 6 runtime?"

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

    Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

    I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design...  Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
    Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms. 
    Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
    The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly.  Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use.  Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
    Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
    Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work.  At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
    Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application?  It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.

  • Premiere cs6 won't load cs5 file

    This project contained a sequence that could not be opened.  No sequence preview presetfile or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
    The project was created in CS5.  I get this messge again, again, and again, even after CS6 DID work once.  CS6 is supposed to load CS5-created premiere project and  sometimes converts it, etc.  Then won't load the converted project!!!!!
    I am using creative cloud.
    What is going on?

    Jim, Thanks for the quick reply.  The problem is indeed a missing codec, viz. intra100.  There is a related problem that Adobe apparently has not solved: A/c to a technician.    CS5 overwrites CS6 files and vice-versa (in creative cloud anyway).  So,  I am constantly having to re-activate CS6  because of using CS5 for things like markers.
    The tech said they would be working on it (two or three months ago).  Have you heard anything on this issue? 
    I am wondering if there is any simple way just to copy this particular coded for the moment.
    Thanks again.
