Dreamweaver & Flash CS3 won't start

I have Dreamweaver and Flash in CS3 Design Premium. All other
apps seem to work, but DW and Flash only launched once or twice
after I first installed the suite. Now virtually nothing happens
when I try to launch them -- barely a flash on the hard drive
light. I have XP professional. I tried the method described in a
previous thread (an Adobe Tech Note) of deleting the config folder
to force DW to create a new one -- I did not work. Can anyone
help?

Flash CS3 Won't Install

Okay... I seriously am in need of help here. I have
downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS3, and for some
reason when I run the installer it didn't install it right. At
first when I installed this, the program seemed to be in place, but
when I tried to start it, I got an error message saying that I need
to repair it by uninstalling/reinstalling the program... The whole
message escapes me at the moment...
Anyways I tried to uninstall it and apperantly it still shows
on the Add/Remove Programs list. It won't allow me to uninstall it.
The installer doesn't work anymore. I try to use the setup.exe
program and it shows a new little window with a progress bar at the
top right corner of my screen.
The
Window
After this window finished loading it closes but the
installer never opens... I've tried many things posted on this
forum, including:
-Removing Flash 8 Player
-Making a New Account
-Checking for duplicate color profiles
and nothing worked! Please help me... I have no other CS3
programs, running on Windows XP, and I have admin account.

Okay... I'm becoming extremely upset and impatient with
Adobe. I cannot install this download of the free trial for Flash
if it were to save my life...
I have tried changing permissions to my registry keys,
installing in Safe Mode (the installer didn't allow me to install
in safe mode), installing in VGA mode (which was much harder than I
think installing anything should have been, not being able to see
the buttons to carry on and having to click Tab and hoping u have
selected "Next"), installing it while turning off every single
application except for the Windows ones, running the Adobe CS3
cleanup script, defragmenting my disk, and even trying System
Restore...
So far nothing has worked... For some reason that installer
window will NOT appear. The progress bar mentioned in my first post
shows up, but after it finishes loading it disappears and I never
see the installation screen, no warning, error message, or
anything. My computer carries on idly...
Please... Some please help me. If you know of something which
I have not tried yet please tell me. There is no way I'm going to
buy Flash if I can't even install the free trial... I might as well
try to get Flash 8 somewhere or maybe even try to find a freeware
program with similar capabilities... I cannot stress how
dissapointed I am right now and I hope no one else has to go
through such hassles during their installations.
Again, someone, PLEASE help me.
I do not believe the problem is in my computer... I have run
a virus scan and I have nothing infected. I have seen the window
before on the first time I tried to install Flash, but the download
was corrupted and I had to uninstall it... I never saw that window
again...
Please... help... me... I've lost so much of my time trying
to install this program...

Flash CS3 Won't Run After Installing?

Double clicking the Flash CS3 icon on the desktop does nothing. I tried all of the compatibility options, I tried running as admin, nothing allows the program to start. There's no Serial number box that comes up, nothing happens when I double click the icon on the desktop.
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium x64

The closest I have seen to this problem is that if you don't
save the .as file, then the updated code will not test, but that is
logical, as the .fla needs to reference the saved .as to export
properly.

Flash CS3 crash at start up on Win XP SP2

i have terrible problem. Got my CS3 design premium few months
ago. I have started with no activation and used all the software
with no harm - also flash. I needed to reinstall the system anyway
(for other reasons). After system reinstallation Flash suddenly
stopped to start up. it crashes when the red welcome red screen is
beeing shown on 'initializing fonts' stage or right after it ...
then for a very short glimpse the main frame appears and all
dissapear leaving no errors in Win logs. I have been searched thru
internet to try find a solution. i have found those such as
uninstallling QuickTime and Flash Vid Encoder, checked the corrupt
fonts... i was installing and uninstalling the suite endlesslly...
nothing helped. of course i had my work deadline, so finally I
decided desperately to reinstall the system again and install all
the Suite software to clean system. So did I.
Suite has been installed, tried Flash and what made me very
happy, flash has started up with no harm... my happiness lasted
very short untill windows has downloaded and installed its updates.
After downloading Flash started to behave as before (crashing at
start up).
Adobe support seems not support anyone... i have called them
thousand times and they only could give me silly advices as install
and reinstall suite again. If anyone has the idea what is the
reason and knows the fix, I beg for help.. i will be very thankful
as my work is totally blocked now.

If a program crashes on startup - specifically when it is
trying to initialize fonts - then in
almost all cases it is a corrupt font. Remove all non-system
fonts and try to launch flash again.
If it starts up then you will need to reinstall each font,
start up flash to see if it is the one in
suspect.

Flash CS3 PRO not starting

Hi,
Help.........I have just installed the Adobe AIR Plugin for
Flash CS3 and now the Application freezes at the Homepage.
cheers

Hi, I know this is a few months after this post but I am
having this very same problem. I have a single user on my pc which
is an administrator account and I ma having the same issue, an
empty dialogue box opens and promptly closes. I have created a
further admin user and the dialogue box appears and this time
installs. On completion I am informed that the main program has
failed to install. Flash video encoder is installed but won't run.
I get a prompt to re-install as there is a problem.
I am running windows Vista Business edition but am a home
user.
Does anyone else have any ideas to why this won't install?
Thanks

Flash CS3 won't quit...

Flash hangs up and i have to FORCE-QUIT almost every time i
finish using Flash... why won't it QUIT ?

I have found the cause of this problem:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash
CS3/en/Configuration/workspacelayout.xml
workspacelayout.xml seems to got corrupted. Deleting this
file solved the problem, now I can quit Flash CS3 normally.
And another related bug has been solved by this action as
well: I was also unable to save "workspace layout", Flash CS3 just
hang up by trying to save a layout.
BTW: this is for Mac OS X 10.4.11 but it should be
appropriate for other systems, maybe even for Windows.
Hope this helps.

Dreamweaver 8.0, Won't Start Up At All

What do I do about my Dreamweaver 8.0 suddenly getting stuck
during start-up, and just freezing until I get a "not responding"
message and have to shut it down? It goes along for a little while,
then freezes at the "Initializing Css. sign on the start-up, if I
remember right.
Do I re-run my CD? (Will I still have all my local files if I
do?)
Any other suggestions?
This happened just after I finished a long, for me, web
feature I'd worked a couple weeks on. It was a travelogue, and I'd
just uploaded two photos that I'd gotten from an image bank, needed
to supplement my own photos (my camera had broken)...and then, when
I briefly tried to do something else as an afterthought, after
taking down Dreamweaver, it would n't start up again. I've
re-booted several times, to no avail.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cs3 won't start and hand on "reading preferences"

Hello
All of a sudden my photoshop won't start and hang on the splash screen " the last message is "reading preferences"
I Run WINXP service pack2.
Photoshop version is 10.0.1
I rebooted did everything (without re-installing)
Is there a way to get out of this ?
Bruno

You could try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Flash CS3 won't respond after entering s/n

Flash CS3 installs perfectly.
Then, I enter the serial number.
Then, it does nothing, even though it's there in Task Manager.
Next time I run Flash, it does nothing.
Why?

Well, it can get worse: my downloaded version will not
install (Vista, run program as an administrator, even ruuning in
compatibility mode). No matter what I do, after clicking setup.exe,
there is a dead silence. No new process is launched.

Flash CS3 Won't Uninstall

Hey gents (and ladies),
I've downloaded the Flash CS3 Trial and my 30 day trial has
expired. When I go to uninstall it all I get is the setup
application to uninstall Flash CS3 components. I would like to
remove the whole thing! Not just components. Thanks.

Hi, yes, I have an idea. I don't know what platform you are
on, but I use a Mac, and just yesterday I was having problems with
Photoshop CS3 due to the trial I had installed. Nothing worked!!!
Then I found a script on the Adobe site that removed ALL the
CS3 files for me and made things squeeky clean. Here is the link
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
Hope this helps.

Flash CS3 won't do rolloverrs!!

I am using Flash CS3 on a Mac. I am trying to do something I
have done many times before- that is create a button made with a
movie clip. This is done with an invisible button going to the
various states in the MC using frames. I am making sure the frames
are NOT on the same keyframe as the STOP ACTION. But it's not
working.
Did Adobe do something new with Action Script? I am
publishing it as Action Script 2.0.
quote:
on (rollOver) {
//this.gotoAndPlay("benefits, startbutton");
this.gotoAndPlay.benefits("startbutton");
Thanks for your help.

FlashRenaissance,
> Did Adobe do something new with Action Script?
With ActionScript 3.0? Plenty. ;)
> I am publishing it as Action Script 2.0.
>
>
quote:
on (rollOver) {
> //this.gotoAndPlay("benefits, startbutton");
In AS2, the on() and onClipEvent() functions still work the
same as
ever. The above syntax would only make sense, though, if your
destination
were actually labeled "benefits, startbutton" (complete with
the comma and
space character).
> this.gotoAndPlay.benefits("startbutton");
This line has a few syntax problems, actually. The
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay() method accepts a parameter, which it
looks like
you're using with the reference to "startbutton", but you're
invoking that
parameter inside a set of parentheses that appears after the
word
"benefits". That means "benefits" is a method (a function) of
the object it
belongs to, and since "benefits" appears after a dot that
follows
"gotoAndPlay", the line as written expects an object by the
instance name of
gotoAndPlay whose class defines a method named benefits.
My hunch is that the movie clip in question -- the one on
which this
on() function is attached -- contains a nested movie clip
with the instance
name "benefits". If that's so, and if you're asking benefits
to perform the
MovieClip.gotoAndPlay() method, then the code should look
like this:
on (rollOver) {
this.benefits.gotoAndPlay("startbutton");
Does that make sense?

Flash CS3 won't launch after installation

Any Ideas
I've just installed CS3 Web standard on 19 PC's ( Win XP SP2
2 GB RAM) but for some reason Flash won't launch on some of these
computers. When you try and launch Flash you get as far
initializing fonts and then closes down.
It's quiet strange Flash works on some of the 19 Computers
which I must add are all identical and have the same software
installed on them.
Has anyone else had any issues with Flash?
Irfan

Well, it can get worse: my downloaded version will not
install (Vista, run program as an administrator, even ruuning in
compatibility mode). No matter what I do, after clicking setup.exe,
there is a dead silence. No new process is launched.

CS3 won't start after system restore, fails to reinstall

I am running CS3 design premium on Windows 8. I've have the computer (Lenovo with Intel i5) for two months, though I used the design suite on my previous computer. I had to run System Restore to fix a problem with Firefox, and after I did none of my Adobe products worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times while following the Adobe Help page "error message at installation" guide. Each time I get the message that Acrobat installed correctly, and everything else "Component install failed." I also wiped everything Adobe off the program list (there were a few CC programs I had trialed, plus Flash Player and some plugins) ran the CC cleaner and still got the same error message. I even tried downloading the program files from Adobe in case there was a problem with my disk and that wasn't it either. I tried enabling FLEXnet and installing under a new user, each to no avail. Examining the log file found no instances of "Return value 3" and "FATAL." The search for "ERROR" found several items that I had either already tried or made no sense.
I ran the system restore again to an earlier point, and now I can't even uninstall anything. The CC cleaner tells me some files could not be cleaned, and I should close my browser and try again, but there are no browsers open. Restarted computer and tried again, same thing. It seems I've tried all the options.
Super frustrated.

PS CS3 won't start due to VersionCue.dll missing

UGH! I am so fed up with CS3. I've been running CS3 for quite awhile now, but was recently switched to a new domain on my network. Photoshop CS3 will not open any documents now and instead gives me the error:
The application has failed to start because VersionCue.dll was not found.
VersionCue CS2 is running, which is bizzare because I've got the full CS3 suite. Does anyone have any suggestions outside of having to reinstall CS3?

Versioncue has caused me problem in the past.
I had to reinstall ( no biggie ) and from then on I disable it in PS prefs and Bridge as I never use it anyway.
Never had a problem since.
