Dreamweaver CS4 won't open in Windows 8.1

I update my windows 8 and installed Windows 8.1. I have the Adobe creative Suite 4 which I run Dreamweaver, Acrobat and Photoshop. Acrobat and Photoshop work fine but Dreamweaver gives me the error "the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect" when I try to open it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall and that didn't work. I tried downloading Microsoft C++ redistributable and installed and that didn't work. What is going on here?? I need this program to work.

I would try restoring preferences: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
If that doesn't work, a Clean and Reinstall might do it...
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open on Windows 7

Hello all. I installed CS5 Web Premium on a Windows 7 machine. Every CS5 application works except for Dreamweaver. I tried replacing, renaming and removing the "updaternotifications.dll" file and the application still won't open. I also disabled the registry key that gives Adobe CS5 the ability to automatically search for updates. Please help.

Hey rcshield thanks for your help.
I managed to find a solution in a different adobe forum:

"Windows 7 users' possible fix
Hi all Win7 users of DW CS5 that dies after the splash screen. You might want to try recreating your DW preferences as described here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83912.html#main_Restore7V
It worked for me. I think the problem was caused by running CCleaner which deleted the wrong registry key. Bad CCleaner! Be careful running those "helpful" system cleaners, folks. They can royally screw up a computer if you trust them too far.
Anyway, DW CS5 is back in action for me at least.

Worked for me.

Dreamweaver CS4 Won't Open

I just installed CS4 Design Premium and I have been able to successfully open Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat, but whenever I try to open Dreamweaver CS4 it hangs on the opening window at "Loading Site Cache..."
I'm on a Dell PC running Windows XP Professional and I have more than enough RAM and disk space. Everything I've been able to find in the forum on this issue seems to be related to an Acer PC which has a fix.
I've rebooted several times, but no success. I desperately need access to Dreamweaver!

A few things to try:
step 4 in the following technote:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105.
If that doesn't work, try deleting your personal configuration folder. It's in the same location.
On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver.
It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.

Dreamweaver CS4 Clear the "Open a Recent Item" window

Dreamweaver CS4 Clear the "Open a Recent Item" window
***** But you must be in the user profile that you created the website with or you will not see the Recent list folder in the registry !!!!!
***** you will have registry rights to Delete files that user created.
**** If you do not have authority, you must find the user profile as an Administrator.
Click Start

then in the registry got to,

     Dreamweaver CS4
There will be a "Recent File List" you can delete all the files inside of it.

Why eliminate it? It doesn't require any extra clicks.
The Startup page can be handy to return to documents you have
been working
on, creating new documents and many other features. If you
don't need it
just click on what you do need; .
If you insist, you can put a checkmark in "Don't show again"

XCode 4.6.2 Won't open any window when launched

Hi,
I have been running Xcode On OS X 10.7.5 for quite a while without any problem. Launching XCode I had an update request to which I agreed. After the update lauching the XCode won't open any window. I have seen that there were similar problems but on previous versions of XCode.
I deleted the application from Mission control and dowloaded again from the Mac App Store. Lauching XCode still won't open any window. No freeze, no error messages, the applications sits in the dock and is marked as open, but now window appears.
Your help would be welcome.
Regards.
Alain.

Hi,
I am going to reply to my own question.
The main Xcode Window didn't open by default as I was used too, but had to be selected from the windows menu.
Too simple I guess!!!!

CS4 won't open now

Can anyone help me understand why PPro CS4 won't open all of a sudden?
I've tried rebooting, not sure what happened in the last 12 hours.
I assume i'll have to reinstall the software, but does anyone know why this happens?

Do you have SoundFlower installed?
Do you have a lot of VST's installed?
Those are two things that can affect the launch of a couple of Adobe programs. This ARTICLE (though written for the PC), might offer some things to ponder.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - there are some similar threads, where Mac users have had to do something with their log-in. They did not have to really modify things, IIRC, but just open up the control console for it. Wish I could give you more details, but I'm a PC-guy. There are maybe three threads recently.

I upgraded to itunes 11 still won't open for windows 8

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

TS1717 iTunes won't open on Windows 7

iTunes won't open on Windows 7.
Error message says MSVCR80.dll is missing.
Re-installing iTunes over the top didn't work, it couldn't get passsed a mobile devices error. Any thoughts anyone?

Howdy rtih,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after a recent update. I suggest the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
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.
All the best,
Sterling

IPhoto won't open any windows...

I recently upgraded my Early 2008 MBPro to Lion. When I launch iPhoto, it doesn't open my library. In fact, it won't open any window but the preferences. I've reinstalled iPhoto with absolutely no luck.
My library package is still there, and accessible from the finder. How can I get iPhoto working again? Is there a way to manually reconnect the library to it?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

CS4 won't open Fuji FinePix S5Pro RAW

I should have all the Adobe updates as I have it set to automatically get updates including the RAW editors. I don't know how to check what is currently installed.
CS4 won't recognize RAW files from the Fuji S5Pro. Other posters have recommended closing Adobe Bridge on similar discussion threads, but how do I see if Bridge is open? It isn't in my task bar or my task manager.
This is a Windows PC, not a Mac. I am running Windows 7.
Thank you for your assistance.

You should be able to open those files, even with the camera raw plugin that shipped with photoshop cs4.
(camera raw 5.7 is the newest camera raw plugin for photoshop cs4)
If in photoshop cs4, you go to Help>About Plug-ins and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Is your windows 7 an 32 or 64 bit system?
