Dreamweaver CS4 won't start

I have the CS4 Web Premium Package installed on XP. Every appli
cation works fine except for Dreamweaver. When I try to run it, it gets to the welcome screen, then crashes. I've tried:
Removing the Configuration folder.
Removing the cache file.
Reinstalling Dreamweaver.
Disabled Firewall.
Installed new display drivers.
I have Homesite installed on this machine. I'm wondering if there are any conflicts between the two programs? Any advice would be appreciated.
Actually, Contribute won't launch either.
Thanks.

Try deleting the Registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4
HTH,

CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30. It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps. It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support. Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer? What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

We can't know. You have not provided any system info. From incompatibility with operating system updates to otehr tools blocking components to system restore damaging the installation anything is possible.

AE CS4 Won't Start on Multi-Core System

I use an older version of After Effects (AE CS4). I recently built a new workstation that is bootable into different choices of multicore (up to 40 cores).
I can successfully start AE CS4 on the boot configs up to 16 cores. But above that, AE CS4 won't start. It won't even show the splash screen (but the AfterFX_32.exe process does appear in Task Manager).
Just wondering if there is any way to get AE CS4 to run on configs with more than 16 cores?
Thanks for any ideas!

No. There is no way because at the time operating systems did not allow to use more cores and thus the underlying system libraries down to the C/C++ code cannot handle it.

Dreamweaver CS4 crashing at start up on mac

Dreamweaver CS4 crashing at start up on mac. I have a macbook
pro with 10.4.11. Just installed CS4 design premium and dreamweaver
crashes when I try to launch. What's the fix?

Hi
the crashed thread suggests a corrupted cache. Try trashing it :
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Use Finder-Go-Go to Folder & paste in this...
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/

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

Illustrator CS4 won't start, even after reïnstalling.

I reïnstalled the whole Suite but Illustrator still won't start. When I try to open Illustrator the orange windows pops up and you see that parts are being loaded but then it shuts down and is gone. I'm on Windows8.

it can't hurt to try downloaded installation files.
again, uninstall and clean before installing.

Dreamweaver CS4 fails to start

I have just installed dreamweaver CS4 onto my Vista Ultimate
laptop, the installation appeared to go fine, but when I try to run
DW CS4 I get the green spash screen, that disappears and then I get
nothing! It doesn't crash the computer, everything else still works
fine, just no DW.
A while ago I installed DW8, which did the same thing. So
bought the latest version from Adobe assuming that would fix it. I
uninstalled the previous Macromedia suite 8 before installing CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, cleaned up totally with the CS4
Cleanup Utility. Removed a font the log file had marked as having
an error. Reinstalled everything and still have the same problem.
Any Ideas?

I guess I should be more precise. If I had the same problem
you are
encountering I would do a full search in CS4 folder for the
file
WinFileCache*.dat and delete it. You have nothing to loose.
Plus here is a post if you have an Acer computer
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=674&threadid =1391324&enterthread=y
And last it could be a conflit with another program, but the
video card
seems to be a good avenue, if all of the above failed try
disabling
everything that is not related to Vista operation with
MSConfig, and restart
dreamweaver. I know this should be done by Adobe tech
support, but hey.....
Still just rying to help

My Dreamweaver CS4 won't open on my iMac

Well every time I launch Dreamweaver CS4 it crashes. Please
help me and i also reinstalled and updated all software.

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 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!

Dreamweaver cs4 refuses to start. Error window pops up but there is no message

I recently downloaded an Dreamweaver extension (HTML5) for cs4. Shortly after I got an error while I was working in Dreamweaver about the ssi.html server. When I closed dreamweaver and tried to restart, Dreamweaver refused to start. There is a popup message window with an OK button but there is no error message in it. I already removed my personal configuration files but that didn't help. Any suggestions. I looked on the Adobe site but most links to technical notes that could be helpful, were broken.

I have exactly the same problem, except that I regularly open up the npr site. But here is the real problem. I open firefox>preferences>advanced>encryption>view certificates>add exception. But here is the problem. I can not click on the box to permanently store exception. This box appears permanently closed.
I am currently running firefox 9.01, and I've got to say I never had any problems with firefox in all the years I've used it. But ever since it went through this dizzying series of upgrades from 3.6 to the present it has given me problems.
I am a regular npr listener, and so this annoying error message is really making me consider permanently leaving firefox for chrome or safari.

Extension Mgr CS4 won't start on PC

My Extension Manager CS4 was working fine until I updated Acrobat Reader and Java about a month ago. Now, if I attempt to open EM from within Dreamweaver, I get most of the EM shell, but then it hangs. No extensions are listed, and I can't click on anything. If I try to open EM from my start menu, I get nothing at all. "Adobe Extension Manager CS4.exe" appears in the Task Manager's list of Processes, but not in the list of Applications.
I tried doing a system restore to an earlier date, but it didn't fix the problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java, as well as the entire Creative Suite. No luck. I also tried updating EM with the 2.1 patch. No change.
One odd thing that may be noteworthy: If I right-click on a file in Windows Explorer, Windows Explorer crashes.
Any help would be welcome. Thanks!

I had the exact situation with Vista and this is what I did after seeing something on another thread that gave me a crazy idea:
The thread mentioned installing manually into a user directory. (Users/[name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Extension Manager2/Configuration/Extensions/
The problem was that I did't have the "../Configuration/Extensions/" folders, so I created them and threw an .mxp file in (while every CS4 program was closed).
I then started up the CS4 Extension Manager and instead of freezing and being blank, my extensions showed up and I was able to install again. Maybe just a fluke on my end? I would be interested to know if it works for someone else.
