CS5 Trial Download -- Cannot get past 'starting up plug-ins'

i did some searches through the forum and didn't find any answers about this. I successfully downloaded the trial software for CS5 and extracted and installed it.  After a system restart I tried to open the system, and the startup splash page runs, but when it gets to 'Starting up plug-ins...' i get an error saying the program ran into an unexpected error and had to close.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times.  Can someone please help? 

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Did you right-click the .exe file and select Run as Administrator?
Being Administrator is not enough.
Yes it is...  On Windows XP.  No UAC there, John.
Flydrgn, have you made sure you have the latest video drivers for your particular video interface?

  • Photoshop CS4 doesn't get past "Starting-up plug-ins..."

    Hi,
    I'm running on a Pentium4, 2.8GHz, 1.25GB ram, GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X 64MB, win XP.
    Up until yesterday I was able to run all my Adobe Design Premium CS4 Suite just fine. Today I tried to run Photoshop and it stops at the splash screen saying "Starting-up plug-ins... Extensis...". It also happens with InDesign and Illustrator. The other programs are running normaly.
    I tryed reinstalling the suite.
    I tryed clicking ctrl + alt + shift to clean the preferences.
    I tryed renaming the files to OLD in Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\
    I tryed renaming the ScriptingSupport to ScriptingSupport~ in Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Extensions\
    The last thing I did with Photoshop was to create an Action to crop images and apply it with Automate>Batch to 300 images. It did the job but after that Photoshop stopped working and so did Illustrator and InDesign.
    I was searching for a solution in the forum and people asked wether there were any 3rd party plugins installed. There are 12 folders in Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\ so I'm not sure witch of them are 3rd party plugins. I didn't install any 3rd party photoshop plugin ever but I did install a 3rd party plugin on Illustrator about a month ago.
    Now, in my search for a solution I ran into this page: http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/creativesuite/designpremium4/systemreqs. html saying that the Adobe Design Premium CS4 Suite requires 2GB ram to run. Did Adobe updated this requirements overnight or was I performing a miracle running the CS4 with just 1.25GB ram?
    My video drivers are updated.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You'll need to identify and remove your 3rd party plug-ins methodically, possibly by looking at the modification date.  Move the folder/file(s) out from under the Plug-ins area entirely; just renaming them (unless you change the .8bf file extension or put a ~ on the front of the name) will NOT disable them.
    Specifically, look for one or more plug-ins by Extensis, since that's apparently where it stalls.

  • IMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. Started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup. I can get into safe mode. Tried install disc for disc utility and reloaded OS. Still get blue screen.

    I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
    I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
    I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
    I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
    But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
    All help would be appreciated.

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

  • HT4623 I have done an iCloud download but now cannot get past the Terms and Conditions page, even after accepting.  It's just a revolving door!

    I have downloaded an updated version of iCloud but cannot get past the Terms and Conditions pages, notwithstanding accepting them.  Further, I cannot get back into iTunes.

    Since I do not know what you actually did maybe:

    Otherwise:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account from the iPod and then sign back in.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • Trying to download iOS 8.0.2 on iPad. cannot get past terms etc. agreement

  • Another iBook cannot get past the grey screen with spinning gear

    I have read the other posts on iBooks not starting up. I too have used Onyx recently but this was to cure the problem of a freeze. Now start up cannot get past the grey screen. PRAM has been zapped and safe mode will not work. Worse, the CD drive will take CDs so cannot go back to start up disk.
    Bizarrely, a visit to the Apple Store and the iBook started no problem. System was reinstalled using archive option and various health checks apparently showed no problems. But then got back home and again start up froze at grey screen with spinning gear. I have left it on this for over 15 minutes but to no avail. I have tried to connect to another ibook using T key to get target mode. I'm not sure if I am doing this right. I have started up working iBook plugged in the firewire to both machines and then started up ailing iBook holding down T key. 2nd iBook wont start at all.
    Any suggestions?

    An Archive and Install will preserve you user settings and data. You will need a minimum of 5 GB free on the hard drive to perform an A&I; you can reduce the space required by about 1 GB by selecting the option to install language support only for the language you use (assuming you don't need multiple languages).
    However, after seeing your other post (BTW, it'll be easier to keep track if relted issues are in the same thread), you do not want to try an A&I if Disk Utility is reporting anything about 'could not be repaired'. Doing so will would ensure problems down the road, if it worked at all. It's possible for one disk problem to mask another. Whenever Disk Utility (or any other repair utility) reports making repairs, it's good practice to repeat the repair until it reports no problems found or it becomes clear it cannot repair the disk.
    DiskWarrior has an excellent track record at repairing problems that Disk Utility cannot (especially Disk Utility versions prior to OS X 10.4.2).
    If the drive cannot be repaired, you may be able to keep it by doing an erase install with the write zeros (one pass) option. That will update the hard drive firmware record of bad disk sectors to avoid using. If there are only a few bad sectors, that may let you keep using the hard drive for several more years. An erase install will do just that to your data, through. If you have access to another Mac with either a large amount of free disk space of a DVD burner, you can try using the other Mac as host and the eMac as target in FireWire target disk mode. You can run the host's copy of Disk Utility on the eMac hard drive, and hopefully be able to mount the emac HD so that you can back up the data in your Home directory.

  • Cannot get past License agreement

    I cannot get past the license agreement page for my Ipod shuffle, I can download songs but I want to register and reset my Ipod, it appears that I cannot scroll right to click the next button..any ideas would be appreciated!

    If you aren't seeing all the buttons try increasing your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 so you can see the whole page, you'll find the instructions on this Microsoft page: Windows XP - Change your monitor resolution
    Click the little Agree box then the Continue button, (there's no need to save the agreement).

  • Cannot Get PSCS6 Started (Mac)

    Have you gone through the usual drill questions
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator?
    3. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 12?
    4. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    5. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    Have you done any uninstall/reinstall of the program yet? If not, hold off doing that until you evaluate the above.
    And, when you  uninstall/reinstall, please use the scheme
    a. uninstall the usual Control Panel way
    b. do a free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)

  • Cannot get past setup. WebOS Dr not working

    Hello everyone.
    I am ready to get my money back on this thing so this is my last attempt to get it working.
    About me: 30 years of computer knowledge so I know how to follow directions.
    Tried 4 of the 5T's several times, but cannot get WebOS doctor to run
    Cannot get past setup on the touchpad so I don't know my webOS version
    Have read every troubleshooting guide I can find
    No WebOS account because I cannot get that far.
    Been working on this for 3 days
    My setup:
    Windows 7 x64 sp1
    Java 1.7
    4GB ram
    500GB HDD
    Found a link to WebOS Dr without an account form tis forum, but it would not  run. Got error MSVCR100.dll missing. Got the file and put it in systemWOWx64. File was alrady in systemx86. Also put in folder with WebOs Dr app.
    No error, but no joy either. Then read another post that sent me to
    http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions#Wifi_Only
    Donloaded latest version 3.0.5 WIFI omly. Don't know my actual WebOs version because I can't get past setup.
    What happens on setup:
    Selcet language = ok
    select network = ok
    enter network key = ok
    load User agreement = never happens becaue after about 10 minutes I get "server Error" that takes me back to the begining. I have done this process about 30+ times.
    Also, must note the toughpad takes 5-6 minutes just to come on. The longest I have ever waited for anything to boot up.
    Update: Contacted seller, WebOS ver. 3.0, 32GB Touchpad
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    I think this might be your problem. Java 7 is only a developer preview right now and not ready for mass consumption yet (info about that is here: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java7.xml) Any chance you can try using the latest version of Java 1.6 and run webOS Doctor again?
    Also, the webOS Doctor file should be a .jar and not a .rar. Some browsers have been known to mix up the extension so try heading to http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Doctor_Versions, finding the version for your product, and right-clicking + selecting "Save As..."

  • Is there a CS5 trial download still?

    Hello.
    I was wondering if there was a legitimate Illustrator CS5 trial download link on the Adobe website?
    Thank you.

    Ok, I am getting very desperate!  I have followed the instructions...I get the files downloaded but get the following message:
    The file archive part of Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection is missing.  You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection. Please download all parts.
    I have downloaded the files from both links.  I have put both downloads into the same folder.  I have even tried puttin all the individual files from each download into one folder. Nothing works...keep getting this same message!  Getting very frustrated.  I am working with Win 8.  Previous computer was Win 7 Ultimate.  (It died a horrible death...now need to reload the software and of course it is the program I paid $1000 dollars for that I can't find the discs for!) 
    Please...help!  I am willing to call someone for step by step help or ????
    Thanks!!!
