Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem...

I have searched the interent for hours trying to resolve this issue.
Everytime I open up DW, i get the error message:
"Adobe DW CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
When i click "send error report" or "Dont send," DW closes.
If I just leave that alone, i can work in DW.
The problem is its also doing it for Adobe Acrobat 8.0.
I am operating on XP.
I have tried to go in and unistall the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I click on "remove" and nothing happens.
I am really frustrated with this. Any help is appreciated.

Does CuteFTP work on it's own when DW is closed?
I too, use CuteFTP in conjunction with DW and have for many years and have never had such a problem.
Are you doing anything specific in Cute FTP when DW crashes?

CS3 has encountered a problem

Here is a page:
http://www.eclipsme.com/fellsmerecra/test.php
When I open it in DW CS3 and click into it in design view, I
get this:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience.
Here is the identical page, but with the ext. changed to html
(there is
no php code in the page yet, though there will be:
http://www.eclipsme.com/fellsmerecra/test.html
This page can be edited in DW CS3.
What gives? The code validates. The only thing different is
the extension!
Thanks for looking,

Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem...

Well, I've spent 2 days trying to fix this issue on my own, it's time for me to reach out and find out if anyone out there can help me! I can open a Photoshop image fine, but when I try to open a 2nd image (which I almost always do), I get an error message that says Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and has to shut down. This is disastrous, I can't do my work! I have Windows XP, and last week a technician loaded Microsoft Expression Web 3 on my computer... as far as I know, that's the only thing that has changed. Photoshop worked fine last week, but it was probably before Expression Web was installed. He also has to install Framework.net, he said when he tried to install Expression Web, he got a message saying he needed to install Framework.net first... I have no idea what version of that I have, don't even know what it is. I didn't look over his shoulder as he was installing... he did say that Expression specified an older version of Framework.net, but I don't remember what version.
I'm concerned that maybe what he installed caused some kind of incompatibility, I know that I'm a couple of versions behind with CS3. If that's the case, I have to beg and plead my management for an upgrade, but I have to research this first. Can anyone help me?

How are you opening the second file? Using the File-Open dialog?
I ask because Microsoft Expression Web is supposed to deliver a codec that understands how to make thumbnails for .psd files, and since an Explorer-like window is involved with File-Open, I put two and two together and it seems that the codec might not be playing well with Adobe's File-Open dialog.
It's been a long, long while but I have a distant memory that there's a way to have Photoshop use an alternate File-Open dialog, or at least there once was... I think it was a button at the lower left of the File-Open dialog. Try changing that.

Photoshop CS3 has encounted a problem

I installed CS3 under my Administrator username. If I start PS CS3 extended under a different username login, the program starts OK, but will not open any files except camera raw files. The program displays the message "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to shut down...". Even if I save a camera raw image into a psd file when logged in under the different username, I cannot open that file when logged in under the different username.
My question is: Is this normal behavior?
My systems is:
Dell M6300, XP Pro SP3, 3GB ram, 72.3GB free disk space, PhotoShop CS3 extended Version 10.0.1

Well, but are your user priviliges set correctly? If you add users post-creation of a folder/ file, they will never inherit any info about that user, thus operating on such directories does fail. The only exception is, when you log on the first time on a freshly created user account, but even then it will only affect user directories and standard system directories. Also remember that to actually do some work you have at least to be a Power User or otherwise you may not have permission to read and write any files, regardless of their location.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 had encountered a problem V10.0.0.0

Photoshop V10.0.0 will not open. It crashes as its loading the Twain drivers at start up. I am running Windows XP.
I've tried deleting the preferences file, reloading Photoshop and, as a desperate measure, deleting and reloading CS3. Nothing has worked. I tried upgrading photoshop but still no luck. Set my default printer to PDF, still nothing. Disabled my firewall, still nothing.....
The worst bit is its been working quite happily since June 07 and then in late Nov early Dec it decided not to work. I also had a printer problem during this time and reinstalled the printer software, but photoshop wasn't working before I did that.
The error I get is:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close
Error signature App Name: photoshop.exe
AppVer 10.0.0.0
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.4
Any assistance would be great - I am getting desperate!
Regards
Sally

When I uninstalled my Dell 944 printer Photoshop worked. When I reloaded my printer it crashed again. It seems to crash everytime it loads the TWAIN part of the photoshop opening screen.
I've tried downloading and installing the latest driver from Dell for the printer but its 2005 and the same as the one I have so no luck there.
I still need my printer to work (its my scanner as well) but I am desperate to get Photoshop back! Any clues??

Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

After formatting my hard drive and reinstalling InDesign CS3, I am not able to open the program.
When I click the shortcut to start the program, it starts to load for about 10-15 seconds, then freezes and gives me this error message:
"Indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I tried reinstalling over the first installation. Then I downloaded the latest updates (Ver. 5.0.4)
Then I rebooted the computer. Same problem. Rebooted two more times. Same problem.
Uninstalled the program. Reinstalled. Rebooted. Same error msg. Installed update to Ver 5.9.4, same error msg.
Rebooted again, same error msg.
What's next? I am at a loss.
Thank you

Ok, I did the following with no luck yet...
Deleted fonts that had been dragged into the Windows Fonts folder.
Searched for adobefnt*.lst, found 6 files, deleted them.
Uninstalled InDesign again.
Downloaded CleanScript.
Did CleanScript Method 1 as described in ReadMe file:
    Uninstalled InDesign
    Went to documents and settings\username\application data\adobe\patchlogs
    deleted adobeInDesignCS35.0.log
    deleted adobeSingCS3 0.1.log
    deleted adobeLinguistics CS3 3.0.0.log
    Went to documents and settings\username\local settings\application data\adobe
    Looked for files to delete with CS3 in the name, but did not see any.
    Installed InDesign
    Rebooted
    Would not start
Did CleanScript Method 2 (same as you suggested)
    Uninstalled InDesign
    Ran Clean Script
    Reboot
    Run MSconfig
    turned off everything not marked as "essential"
    reboot
    Tried to install ID
    Error Msg: Windows Installer Service needs to be running
    Ran MS config/ enabled Installer service
    reboot
    Installed ID
    Tried to start it, would not start, got this error msg:
          Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this prodict at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT...
    Started MSconfig/ enabled all the old services
    reboot
    Tried to start ID, got same Licensing error msg

Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver

I rummaged around in here looking at opengl topics and others associated with the above error, but I'm not seeing what I'm encountering (or I am and I don't recognize it!).....
I bought CS4 a week or so ago, and installed it on a system running XP32 with service pack 3, 4GB of ram withe the /3GB switch set, nVidia 8600 GT card (which according to the list is supported), and multiple spindles for images, scratch, applications, and so on. I found other topics earlier so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card.
I'm not crashing and burning, but I'm getting some messages...
I opened an image, and while working on it I wanted to do a transform/warp. I got the message that Photoshop couldn't perform the operation because there wasn't enough memory. It didn't crash but I had to shut down CS4 and restart it to do the warp.
Most recently I opened a couple images for a panorama, and while doing the merge I got the message that "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled gpu enhancements." It tells me to check for the latest drivers - I've ALREADY got the lastest drivers. Again, no crash, just the warning. It completed the panorama.
There have been a couple other occurrences of messages of this type, so I'm curious if there's some set of preferences or system settting I need to adjust to optimize things? I've alrady adjusted the nVidia settings because I also run Lightroom and they're having problems too.
I've read the tech notes for the video and such and didn't find any set of optimizations there so is there a set of adjustments beyond the preferences that needs to be adjusted to improve memory and video performance? And if so, can someone point me to them.

As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities...

"Distiller has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I installed CS3 Design Premium last week. (XP, SP2) I haven't run any of the CS3 updaters yet because I haven't had a chance to research any possible gotchas.
I am repeatedly getting this message:
Acrobat Distiller
Acrobat Distiller has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error signature
AppName: acrodist.exe AppVer: 8.0.0.456 ModName: acrodistdll.dll
ModVer: 8.0.0.456 Offset: 001e0ad4
I don't have Distiller open, but I guess it must be running in the background. I create PDFs by exporting from InDesign.
What does this error mean? Should I be very afraid?
Marlene

Hello, I had this issue with Acrobat 9.0 v.946 but resolved my issue with x64 Vista Ultimate as follows:
Open Acrobat Distiller
Click Settings
Click Font Locations
Open Windows Explorer and Navigate to EACH listed Font Location
Verify there are FONTS in each location, .ttf is a good giveaway.
When you find a Windows Explorer location listed in Distiller with No Fonts do the following:Go back to the Distiller-Settings-Font Locations screen, highlight that location and click the Remove button
Continue viewing folders in Windows Explorer until you have verified that fonts are listed in all the other Distiller-Font Location-folders
Close both Distiller and Windows Explorer
Reboot your system
Now here’s the tricky part:
After sign-on Do Not Touch your mouse or keyboard for Five Minutes
Watch your mouse icon as it swirls while loading background applets
Watch your network icon slowly, ever so slowly change from X to O indicating connectivity.
If you screen blanks out, just move the mouse cursor enough to get the screen back and the cursor where you can see it.
After Five Minutes – if you have not received the message--Acrobat Distiller must close--this procedure worked for you.
Hope this helps some of you.
Update: MS Admin Events indicate that a HDD might be corrupted. Chkdsk indicated bad clusters, new drive ordered - in other words - this was the problem all along

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has shopped working

In the past two days I have been getting the following error
message when I try to make changes to an open page in Dreamweaver
CS3:
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
available".
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate. I have not installed any
new programs recently, so I'm thinking that either a recent Windows
Update or and Adobe Update may be causing this new problem. Is this
a known issue? Does anyone know of a solution to this
problem?

Contibute has encountered a problem and needs to close

I get an error message when ever a client of mine tries to
post to their web site using Contribute 2
"Contribute has encountered a problem and needs to close"
The client is in the UK and recently had to re-install the
Contribute software onto a brand new computer following a power
surge that killed his old computer.
I resent the software to him and set up a new connection key.
When I use the contribute software I have now problems or
issues. It just when ever my client users the software he goes to
edit a page and then it crashes?
Thank you so much in advance for your help. I really
appreciate your consideration.
BACKGROUND NOTES
I used Dreamweaver to remove the Contribute sharing and book
in / out etc Then re-installed these privileges.
Also got client to remove and also re-install the Contribute
software. In case this was an install problem
In addition got the client to install the update for
Contribute 2
Client running a brand new computer with Windows XP

If you use a newer version of Contribute then your client,
maybe yould should check if the Compatability Mode is checked.
In the main menu go to
1. Edit,
2. Administer Websites,
3. then choose the right website
4. Point your mouse to Compatability (last in the list)
5. If you have a newer version then your client: check
Transition Mode,
6. if you have the same version: check Compatability Mode.
Maybe this will solve the problem.
Good Luck

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
"It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
Tony

Tony,
Here's something you might try:
Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
Let us know how you make out.

Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I have been using Audition 2.0 on this computer for quite some time and suddenly now when I open it, I get the cryptic error dialogue:
"Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. For more information about this error, click here."
When I click for more information, it's something useless like:
AppName: audition.exe AppVer: 2.0.5306.2 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 65726168
Nothing on my computer has changed. There are no viruses. I have not added any new audio plug-ins. I am completely up to date with all critical Windows XP SP3 updates and none have been downloaded and installed recently anyway.
I searched the knowledgebase and found a document that suggesting many things to try. I tried them all, including running the Windows hard disk "check disk" tool with options to fix file system errors and recover bad sectors. I also defragmented the hard drive. Lastly, I completely uninstalled Audition, then manually deleted any remaining files, including registry entries as suggested in another knowledgebase article.
I then re-installed Audition 2.0 and it did exactly the same thing! This it maddening. Now it gets even more interesting. I discovered that if I start up the
Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit that Adobe Audition installed also, then try to launch Audition from the toolkit, IT STARTS CORRECTLY! I can then close the toolkit and use it like normal. Weird work-around.
What the heck could possibly be going on? Anyone have any ideas? I've attached the error log file that is generated by the error but I doubt it will be of much help.
Thanks!
Steve in Chicago

stevefoobar2: I may have found a solution for you.
I had the same thing happen to me today. I was using Audition 2 this morning without any problems. But this afternoon, it started giving me the exact same error with no apparent reason. Nothing on my system had changed.
So I uninstalled it and installed Audition 3 in its place. Audition 3 continued to have the same problem that Audition 2 had, so we can assume that this is not something that was changed between versions.
But my attention was brought to the fact that you and I are both running Windows XP SP3 fully up-to-date. So I thought I'd try seeing it from the angle of a problem with Windows instead of Audition, and see if I didn't get a better result -
First, I logged on to Windows as Administrator. This may or may not be required, but you'll probably want to do it just in case (you'll see what I mean later). At this point, Audition still crashed the same way when I opened it, so I moved on to my next troubleshooting strategy -
Instead of opening Audition directly, I right-clicked the Audition icon and selected "Run as..." This may seem odd since I was already logged in as Administrator, but it proved to be the solution in my case.
In the "Run As" diolog, there are two main options: run as current user, or run as another user.
Since I was already logged in as Administrator, I could safely select the first option (run as current user). But here's the catch: selecting the first option allowed me to UNcheck the box underneath that says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" (see the attached picture)
Audition opened without any problems when I did this.
This makes me think that one of the Windows security features suddenly decided to block something that Audition was trying to do, crashing the program in the process. By turning off this security feature, the problem was solved. And I only had to do it once. Every time afterwards, Audition has opened without any problems when I simply open it from my desktop. Perhaps Windows now remembers not to block Audition in the future.
However, I have not restarted my computer yet, or logged off as Administrator. You may need to tweak this solution if you plan to do either of these things. You may end up having to "Run as" Audition every time you restart your computer or log off. You may even need to select the SECOND option, and run the program as Administrator with the appropriate password.
Anyway, this was the only post I could find on Adobe.com concerning this problem, so I thought I'd post my solution in case it helped someone else.
