CS3 None of the programs will launch

I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
This happens with all of the programs in the suite if they even try to launch - sometimes nothing happens. All programs previously worked. No changes in the system set up that I am aware of.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to do the restore only to find that the previous user had disabled restore so that there were no previous restore points to use.
I did get it working again though. I think I went to add remove programs and it prompted me to do a "repair" it went through that routine (at least an hours time) and then it started working again. Program by program the status indicator said it was "repairing".

probably nothing helpful. migrating adobe apps doesn't always work, and if it doesn't work you're better off uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling per, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Just installed CS3 on new computer and none of the programs run

I've had my CS3 for 3ish years now. It worked fine on my old computer, which had XP Home.
Now I have Windows 7 64 bit edition, and everything installed fine, but the programs won't run. Dreamweaver and Bridge just don't even appear, and Photoshop will load the grey program loading screen but nothing else. It'll stay there forever and when you click anywhere on the window, it says "Program not responding".
Help, please! I have some work I have to do and I don't know how to get this up and running.

I recently re-booted my system (windows 7) and have been re-installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3).
None of the programs load because it needs to verify my license and the pop-up which asks me to enter my license is not popping up so I am unable to load any of the softwares.
This issue has already been solved and I downloaded a patch to fix this from the Adobe website last year and it worked perfectly.
That patch has since been removed. (KB401528)

Can you please allow me to download this patch? The page shows up as "Not Found".

None of our CS6 programs will launch

I cannot launch any or our nonprofit's Adobe CS6 products all of a sudden. I am not sure if it had anything to do wiith a huge bunch of Windows Updates I had to preform yesterday... like 23 updates I believe. I thought it was only an Adobe AcrobatX Pro problem since suddenly I could not view online PDF's in my browsers. I ran the fix I found online for that from step #1 here; http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html
I ran AcroFix three times. It finally decided it would work on Firefox at least so I thought all was solved. Now none of outr CS6 programs will launch. So I looked down to step #3 from that same link called Solution 3: Reactivate Acrobat through another Suite product
It says to;
Launch a CS6 Suite product.
Choose Help > Deactivate. Follow the onscreen prompts to deactivate.
Close the application.
Launch the same CS6 Suite product again.
Accept the EULA.
Sign in with your Adobe ID to register trial.
Restart the application.
The problem is none of the CS6 applications will open! I get an error on every one that says; the program has stopped working and ut checks fr a problem, the says Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is available. BLAH!!!!
What do we do now?
If it involves the upates I can reverse them or do a system restore if I hear back quickly enough,but Adobe needs to know and do something quickly because no way will I be alone. These were all updates to Windows x64 based systems that showed up on Novermber 14, 2013

After downloading updates, the program will not launch

When Firefox does an update automatically, the program stops launching altogether. I have had to do a complete reinstall and that worked until the automatic update happened again tonight.

A few details would help here. What kind of computer? What operating system is it running? What version of iTunes was running previously? Was there an error during installation? What actually happens when you try to launch iTunes now?
Let us know we will keep working with you.
Best of luck.

Dashboard has stopped working. The application will open, but none of the widgets will function. I've deleted widgets

Dashboard has stopped working. The App will open, but none of the widgets will function. I've deleted widgets & added new ones, but they also will not work.

I get the "License has stopped working" mesages too.
We have a MacbookPro at home. There are two user-acounts on this mac, one for my wife and one for myself. This way we keep our personal stuff (e-mail, files, settings, dropbox, desktop clutter etc) separated. "Fast user switching" is enabled to easily switch to your personal account.
Now when I open Photoshop I might get the dreaded "License has stopped working" message. This will happen if Photoshop is left open in her account. So I'll have to log into her account, close Photoshop, go back into my own acount and open Photoshop again.
I should not get this message since Photoshop is not part of a particular user account, it is installed in the "Applications" folder which is accesible to all users.
What makes it even more annoying is that I get the "License has stopped working" message on trying to open Photoshop even when Photoshop is closed in in the other acount, but Illustrator is opened.
This makes no sense since we bought Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 as separate programs, not as a part of the Creative Suite.
I did not report this to Adobe yet but it wil do that now.

I have recently had problems in getting my Adobe Premiere Elements 10 to run. One of the gentlemen was able to take over control of my computer, and got it working for me, however since that time the program will sometimes open but most times it just freezes the computer and I have to shut it down and re open without any success with opening the elements program.
Can you help

Sosure
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on?
What video card/graphics card does your computer use? NVIDIA GeForce? If so, please read the Announcement about the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce issue which is found at the top of this web site. Does that apply to you? The explanation for the situation and the fix (roll back of the driver version) are all included in that Announcement.
We need to rule in or out this factor at the onset before we get to other questions
a. non NIVIDIA video card/graphics card driver
b. project preset and properties of source media
c. computer details
More later.
We will be watching for your reply.
Thank you.

ITunes successfully installs in my computer but the moment I open it, a message will appear showing that microsoft has stopped working and the program will close. What do I do?

iTunes successfully installs in my computer but the moment I open it, a message will appear showing that microsoft has stopped working and the program will close. What do I do?

Let's first try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that help with the iTunes launch errors?

The program will not close properly unless I turn off the computer.

The program will not close properly. If I close it and then try to restart it I get a message saying that Firefox is already running.

Even under normal circumstances it takes a few seconds after exiting Firefox before you can launch Firefox again successfully.
But you're right, sometimes a zombie Firefox process lives on, consuming CPU cycles and memory long after all the user interface for it has disappeared. The zombie Firefox process blocks the launch of new ones. It's annoying, but there is a lighter-weight work-around than rebooting. If you key Del while holding down Ctrl and Alt (the old three-finger DOS reboot), either the Windows Task manager will pop up immediately or you can select it from a list of options. In the Windows Task Manager's Processes tab, you should be able to find "firefox.exe" in the Image Name column. (Left-clicking the Image Name column will sort the names alphabetically, and then you can scroll up or down looking for "f".) Left-click on that "firefox.exe" and then left-click the "End Process" box. A warning box should then pop up, asking if you're really sure you want to terminate the process. Answer Yes. Then wait a few seconds for disk activity to die down. Then re-launch Firefox as you would normally.

I deactivated Photoshop CC on my Mac Mini and downloaded PS CC on my MacBook 1.1. I didn't realize the program will not run on MB 1.1. I uninstalled the app on the MacBook. I tried to reactivate on my Mac Mini and it tells me I already have the program loaded on two computers. How do I solve the problem?

The activation server shows that it is now activated on two computer, it has been deactivated once .
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

I have CS4 installed on two computers however none of the applications will now open on one machine and I get the error message 150:30

Your best bet is probably to start over by cleaning off the old software with the Adobe Cleaner tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then reinstall from your original media, or download it here:

No NON-Universal binary program will run

So after loading itunes 7.0.2 for my new shuffle, my non universal binary programs will run. not sure where to put this questions. When you go to run the program it will bounce once in the dock and won't open. Universal binary programs work fine.
Steps I have taken
1. reloaded a program so see if it would work
2. repaired disk
3. repaired permissions
4. created separate user and ran program under that user
5. Reset the PRAM
6. tried something called update pre-bindings, but this wouldn't work.
does anyone have any ideas

Archive and install installs a new System Folder next to your old System Folder, with your old User settings. For more details, please look at this KBase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270
Afterwards, you should reinstall third party applications. In the installation dialogs, you can choose which languages you want to install.
