CS6 version constant Error 16 message

Hi guys,
I purchased CS6 about 5 months ago now. And for the last 3 months I have been getting constant Error 16 messages when trying to start up the program. It has become a vicious cycle of uninstalling, deleting all my adobe products, then deleting all of my adobe file folders under the C: drive, App data folders, and my User folders, then having to reinstall everything. I have been doing this consistently for 3 months and it's getting to the point of seriously disabling my workflow and costing my business way to much time. I even now today had a new problem arise. When I reinstall Illustrator and enter my serial number during the installation process it accepts it and installs fine. But when I open up Illustrator it prompts me that my trial has expired and to enter in a serial number. So I enter in my serial number again and then it works for a bit. If I close the program and reopen it literally 5 minutes later it Error 16 again.
I'm running  a Dell Inspiron 15R Intel i-7 processor, 8GB RAM and Windows 8. Does anybody have any ideas on why Illustrator continues to crash and/or Error 16 almost every other day/week?
Thanks.

I have not gotten the Error: 16 yet since I made the post. But I am still having trouble with the Activation and serial number recognition of Illustrator. I went to open Illustrator up today and I got this message.
It says "Activation Failed". The message is saying Product Activation is required to use this product. You must have a working internet connection to activate this product. I have full strength internet connection and I have already activated Illustrator when I did a fresh install on 12/12/13. First is was the Error:16, then it was the trial problem, and now This. What is going on?

    Hi,
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you trying to install?
    Are you installing from DVD or a download?
    If DVD, make sure you are using the Windows one, not the MAC one.

  • I am unable to install the latest update to iTunes, I get constant error messages, even when I attempt to uninstall iTunes completely and start afresh, iTunes is still listed in my program files on my hard drive and the shortcut is still on my desktop!?

    Is there a bug with the latest update to iTunes because I am unable to install it, I get constant error messages if I try to open it after installing

    Hey there Mambo822,
    It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after installing a recent update. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
      iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Unistall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Uninstall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

  • I upgraded to 20gb iCloud but it isn't enough to back up. I get constant error messages saying there is no backup space and I've not been able to use the upgrade. Apple promised to refund then didn't. Please help is there anyway I can use this space?

    Please see the subject line thanks

    If you were told they would refund the price for the iCloud storage - Contact AppleCare and ask to speak with a senior advisor.  Have the case number for the promised refund available.
    If you are trying to update your device, but you don't have sufficient space to download and install the update, you need to delete content from your device.  Buying storage in iCloud does not add space to the device which is what you need.
    You can always update using a computer with iTunes installed - this method is faster, and will allow you to make a backup on the local computer (Local backups restore faster than iCloud backups).

  • TS1496 when updating iTunes to latest version windows error message appears

    when updating iTunes to latest version windows error message appears

    Okay.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Im getting a constant error message: "you can't open the application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". I cant find PACE to delete it?

    PACE is a rather crappy copy protection software used by the following;
    Antares
    Melodyne
    Cycling 74 Max/MSP/Jitter
    iZotope oZone
    Line6 POD Farm
    McDSP plug-ins (some software purchases include a green iLok key)
    MOTU
    Overloud
    Pro Tools
    Serato
    Virtually all Digidesign (RTAS and TDM) plug-ins
    Virtually all Waves Products
    So if you have any of there, they might be the cause of your problems.

    Thanks for the reply, but I've been having this problem for well over a week. If it is a corrupt download, is there some way of deleting it from the iPad and getting a new one?

    Here is the Error:16 message
    Besides the Error 16 message I am also still having trouble with the Activation and serial number recognition of Illustrator. I went to open Illustrator up today and I got this message:
    It says "Activation Failed". The message is saying Product Activation is required to use this product. You must have a working internet connection to activate this product. I have full strength internet connection and I have already activated Illustrator when I did a fresh install on 12/12/13. First is was the Error:16, then it was the trial problem, and now This. What is going on?
    My serial number is clearly validated and activated but the very next day I try to open Illustrator I get the message in the screenshot above. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Jeff A Wright,
    Thank you for your support on this. However, I am running into some problems for completing the steps listed on the help page you listed. In the SLStore the deselection of "Read-Only" is not being applied. I deselect that attribute and click Apply and then Ok. If I right click again on the folder the "Read-Only" attribute is still checked.
    Also for step 3 Set Permissions I cannot change any of the permissions for the SLStore even though I am logged in as the Administrator. The PCD folder does not have an Owner tab and I cannot change the permissions for this folder either.
    What can I do to fix the file permissions if I am having the problems above?
    Thank you.

  • HT1926 I am unable to update my Itunes version 10 to version 11 ,error message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"

    Why can't I update my current version of iTunes 10 to version 11, keep getting error message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is un available"

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
