CS3 programs installed but wont open.

Most of my cs3 programs wont open. I am running Windows Vista and have the Adobe CS3 master collection.
It appears as though Bridge is the only one that will open. Photoshop for example, will open the grey background with "file" "tools" etc. but will not go any further.
I have a new HP Pavilion dv5 with 2Ghz core duo, and 2GB ram.
Any help will be appreciated.

Help me too!!! I'm having exactly the same problem!!!
I had CS3 installed on my old computer running XP and everything worked fine. Then the motherboard (or something) on that computer fried so I bought a new one that has Vista Home Premium.
I've tried everything I can think of. I loaded it, the repaired it, then uninstalled it and reinstalled it in the "Program Files" directory (before it had been loaded in the "Program Files (x86)" directory) and repaired it in that directory.
I've tried opening every one of the programs, all except Photoshop end up doing nothing. When I look under Task Manager, there is nothing going on the "Applications" tab. But under the "Processes" tab, I see the exe file is loaded and going.
The main program I'm trying to use is AfterEffects - I tried to open it earlier so right now in "Processes" the pogram "AfterFX.exe *32" is loading and running but it's not working!!
It's driving me NUTS! I really have ton of work to do and I'm wayyy behind as it is with the stupid computer croaking. Now I can't even try to catch up because I can't open the program!

  • How to reinstall iphoto on my iMac.  it is currently installed but wont open and says i need to reinstall from appstore

    my iphoto is not working and it says to reinstall from appstore but in the appstore it shows already installed and there is no option to reinstall. do I need to try to move my current iphoto to the trash? if so what about all my pictures

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • IReader installed but wont open Urgent help needed please!

    I have installed Acrobat Reader X.
    When i try to open files I get a problem saying Microsoft and Adobe have encountered a problem and need to close.
    I get an option to Debug, Send error report or Dont send.
    The information which comes up when I look for more information is the following::
    error signature
    Appname. Acrord32.exe. Appver 10.0.1.434 Modname acrord32.dll
    Modver 10.0.1.434  offset 001869666
    It was previously working then the next time I came to use it I got this.
    Desparately need help

    1. camera loading - have you tried updating or reinstalling your firmware?
    2. keyboard - define strange
    3. slow - how much is phone memory and what apps are running in background (see taskmanager, hold menu key until it shows)? turn off theme animations. it helps.
    4.  handwriting - have you set the handwriting recognition to recognize your particular penmanship? Go to menu>settings>phone>touch input. Set writing speed to very fast, calibrate your screen and take handwriting training so the phone will recognize your handwriting.
    5. qwerty - what things? how so? have you set it to qwerty?
    6. cannot scroll in file manager - its not a problem. Thats normal for the OS. Use Nokia Photobrowser or the Gallery for viewing pictures. File manager is for managing files, not viewing them.
    7.  Motion sensors - read #3
    8. Phone feels hot - how hot? Batteries heat up when charged. Its normal. However it depends on how hot exactly.
    9. Depends maybe on how long the video is. My 5800 feels hot when watching an entire movie. Also this would be reflected on #3 as well, as the phone may be working overtime.
    10.  Music when unplug headset - Its normal for almost all Nokia phones (heck even some other brands this is normal), try to use an alternative player if you like
    11. Back cover -  Its the design
    12. Yotube - use youtube app
    13. Use Nokia Photo Browser download from ovi store. It shows pics only and looks real cool. Anyway, you can put all your videos in the gallery into a virtual folder so that it is separate. Its the way the gallery is designed, to show both pics and video. As you can see, it is written Images and Videos, so they're supposed to be together in there.
    14. Adobe still hasnt caughtup its mobile solutions for its PC solutions. Its their fault not Nokia's or anyone else's.
    15. Depends on extension. Built in office reader only reads .doc, not .docx.

  • Photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

    Hello
    My "os" is windows 8.1
    When I clicked on the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable the photo editor popped up
    along with an install option.  Then I clicked install and then a update
    failed message popped up. (I've attached a screen shot photo of that) Then
    I clicked on error log and a "please quit and try again error code" message
    popped up. (I've also attached a screen shot photo of that as well) so
    after all that I closed everything and restarted my computer and clicked on
    the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable again and it went straight to the photo editor
    not the welcome screen (where I can choose either organizer or photo
    editor)... why isn't there a welcome screen like before?
    When I clicked on the executable for PREMIERE 13 there was two executable
    options.. one that was labeled (PREMIERE 13 exe) and another that was
    labeled just (PREMIERE exe) without the "13" so first I clicked on PREMIERE
    13 exe and it took me to the welcome screen so then I clicked on video
    editor the new project but nothing happened. ... the loading bar moves then
    stops.  So after that I closed it and went back to click the PREMIERE exe
    and it took me straight to the video editor, again no welcome screen (were
    i can choose either organizer or video editor) just like the  photoshop....
    so in the end I am able to click on the executable options for both
    photoshop 13 and premiere and it takes me straight to the editor but
    without the welcome screen...
    Clicking on the shortcut icons on my desk top still won't launch though....
    So does this mean it's working because clicking on the executable options
    takes me straight to the editor? Or is something still not right because
    the program won't open/launch when i click on the desktop shortcuts and
    welcome screen won't pop up when clicking on executable options?
    Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it

  • Why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page, why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page but will work if im hardwired into the internet

    my computer is showing full connection through the airport but wont open any web pages it says it is not connected to the internet... When i hard wire the internet in with the cord it works just fine so i think i somehow messed up or turned of my wi fi capability but i show my airport is on

    Your computer is showing it's connected to the Wifi router all right, but perhaps the router isn't connected to the Internet.
    If your connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and resetting it, bypassing th erouter and then getting online, fine that's good.
    If your connecting to the router directly and getting on the Internet fine, it means the router is connected to the Internet.
    If the last one is true then likely what has occured is your DCHP lease is expired because your computer doesn't have the right time and date as the router, it's showing a good signal but your not connecting.
    Open System Preference and check the date and time and set it to update to Apple's time server for your location.
    Sometimes Apple's time is off, as third party routers get their time elsewhere and sometimes the two don't match and thus DCHP lease is expired.

  • After closing firefox 7.0.1,win7 64bit,and reopenning,tabs on toolbar are there but wont open (something new).

    Something new today. I am getting recently viewed tabs on the task bar (each of these may have a few tabs) which appear on the taskbar but wont open. In order to get something to open I have to reclick on the Firefox icon on the desktop. Then that session opens okay with multiple windows and tabs...but those other tabs remain unopennable .When hovering over them on the task bar they show blank boxes, whereas the others look ok.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • ITunes installed, but dosent open

    I have installed the new iTunes 7.0 but the problem is it wont open. Theres no error, no sort of problem notification, I just double click on the icon like normal and the hour glass shows, but then nothing happens. Is there an installation glitch?? I would figure if there was a problem with my computer being able to load or install the program my computer would notify me some way but it dosen't.

    I have a similar problem, i just bought a new pc and one of the first things i installed was itunes. But i had some problems with drivers and and other programs so i had to use system restore (5 times...) so i can install itunes but it wont open and i get an error message. I think my problem is with quicktime cos i cant find it anywhere in my folders, there is a quicktime folder but its empty (0 bytes) so i downloaded quicktime from this site seperately and installed it, i got a message saying that a newer version of quicktime is already installed... i have no idea how i can fix this, quicktime isnt listed in the install/uninstall function in windows, its not visible in any folder, its not thereeeeeeee =(
