Dreamweaver won't start on vista

i've read the current posts on vista - my Dreamweaver 8
launched once, then i tried to set up a network share - and it
automatically quit. NOW it won't even open.
I've updated the compatiability with the same problem
Any ideas? I bought Dreamweaver 8 because the adobe site
(vista compatiability document) stated there wasn't any problems --
guess i should have read the news group first.
thanks
Sandy

Youy might want to inform Adobe about this (I don't know if
they have
a bug/error reporting service - maybe someone else can advise
on
that). In particular, what version of Vista, clean install or
upgrade,
what extensions you have installed, what precise action
resulted in
the crash etc.
On Vista Home Premium I have DW 8.0.2 running fine with quite
a few
extensions installed (although I am not using it as my
workhorse
machine and hence am not flogging it unduly).
Good luck!

Dreamweaver won't start

Please help...
Suddenly my Dreamweaver won't start up! When I click on it I
get an egg-timer for a few seconds then it stops and nothing
happens. On occasions it gives me the option of design or code
view, and then nothing. I've uninstalled and re-installed twice but
it's still the same. Fireworks and Flash to start up fine. Any
ideas?

Itunes won't start on vista home premium

I installed Vista Home Premium and did a fresh install of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
iTunes won't start and gives an error (iTunes won't start):
Eventname: APPCRASH
Name: iTunes.exe
Version: 7.1.1.5
Timestamp:45f8a616
Name of the errormodule: StackHash_03ef
I can't seem to find the solution in the Forums and internet.
I deinstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times but it still gives the same error.
Quicktime also won't start.
Any help is appreciated.

I deinstalled all codecs (including Nero), because windows vista solutions also pointed me in that direction, but no luck yet..
okay. we'd better try swapping out your QuickTime now that the codecs are out of the way.
sometimes with that sort of "error message free" launch failure with QuickTime, Add/Remove doesn't want to get rid of the QuickTime. so we'll try the following technique if that happens:
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Coldfusion Builder won't start on Vista

Recently I had to upgrade to Vista. Now Coldfusion builder won't start. Attached is the configuration log file. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CF Builder with no luck. This is the standalone version. Any help appreciated.

I think I've figured it out. It had to do with permissions on the Coldfusion Builder folder in Program Files. Coldfusion Builder would run as administrator, but not as a User. I had to allow write permissions on that directory. I don't know if this is an eclipse thing or a Coldfusion Builder thing, but in windows a program should not require write permissions on it's install folder in order to run. If it needs to write something, it should do it under the users profile. I would consider this a bug.
Thanks,
Jim

Newly purchased Dreamweaver won't start at all

Hi, everyone, hope , will get some help here, as can't get access to Dreamweaver Help simply because it won't start..Just purchased the programs yesterday and installed it today with Photoshop but Photoshop is okay and Dreamweaver just showed the pop up with file preferences and Windows reported an error and closed Dreamweaver..Never again it started later...Tried to uninstall it and install again and it's still the same, what can I do?Really frustrated at this...and my laptop meets all the requirements..

Have you looked in the Dreamweaver FAQ? There are two items there that might help you:
CS4 installation problems
Dreamweaver crashes on startup
If your computer is an Acer, the answer is in the second one.

Latest iTunes won't start on Vista, installed OK as Administrator

I have a friend with an eMachines W3653a computer with 1 GB of RAM and 155 GB free on its hard drive. It is running WIndows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1. Twice we have downloaded and installed iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ using Chrome. First, she installed it herself, and when that didn't work, I re-downloaded and installed the setup program as Administrator, uninstalled the existing iTunes, and installed it again, unfortunately with the same results. I've noticed that KB2533623 has not been installed, so I'll see if that makes any difference. I will also install Microsoft Security Essentials Anti-virus, just in case. In the meantime, I welcome any suggestions of things to do next. Thanks.

do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Dreamweaver Won't Start Up

The green 'app loading' screen comes up and it gets to
'Initializing Extension Data' and stops. I was tinkering with the
Extension Data folder before, but have since deleted it entirely
and reinstalled Dreamweaver 8 from scratch. Before installing I
also deleted the preferences file in the Library. Is there
something else I need to delete for a clean install? Is there an
uninstaller for this program on Mac?

Nancy,
Here is a screen shot of everything in the folder, am I missing something?

LR2 won't start on Vista Ultimate

Configuration
Vista Ultimate
Intel E8500 dual core 3.1ghz
MSI P45 Neo-3 FR
DDR2 PC8500 8gig
EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTS video card
LR2 fails as soon as the Library screen is rendered. Every time!

Don, Bradley, and Dorin,
Thanks for your comments. Outside of Outlook, mine was a virgin Vista machine and I was impressed with the poor performance and instability of 64-bit LR2.
I have only installed Mozilla on my new 24", 3.06 GHz, 4-gig iMac. 64-bit LR2 performs very nicely on this platform. I imported about 2000 images this weekend, loaded the controlled vocabulary, applied keywords to all, selected and developed about 200, and used the results to export all five types of web content. All without incedent.
Don, I agree with you that my solution to the problem was over the top. The reality is that my LR2/Vista experience was the straw that broke the camel's back. It takes way too much time anually to keep a Microsoft machine running at peak performance. A few hours of forum browsing last week convinced me that Vista was going to be even worse. Dorin's testimony of disabling services and tasks is consitent with the kinds of tweaking required to keep a Vista machine in good working order. I have long been convinced that the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the Mac platform is materially less than that of Microsoft. The initial investment is higher, but if your time is worth more than about $25 an hour, the break even will come quickly.
With regard to the stability of LR2, it is my expectation that Lightroom will always have bugs. The complexity of the application will keep it from being any other way.
Having saig that, LR2 rocks!

Director won't start under Vista

I had installed the trial version of Director this computer
(AMD laptop) about a year ago, and it worked fine, but I didn't
have much of a use for it at that point, so I uninstalled it.
Now I've installed it on the same laptop except running
Vista. When I double-click the Director application, the hard drive
looks like it's working, but the application never begins. I've
installed all of the updates, and have rebooted several times.
Is there a compatibility problem between Director and Vista?
Thanks for any help you can pass along!

This technote for Encore also fixes this issue with Director:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?event=view&id=KC.333696&extid=333696& dialogID=3251142&iterationID=1&sessionID=483094da429d72452d5b&stateID=0+0+3249974&mode=sim ple
Right click the Director app, and choose Properties. Go to
the Compatibility tab, and click the box for "Run with
administrator privileges."
That fixes it. Just FYI, in case anyone else has the same
problem. :-)

Dreamweaver crashes on start up

There are three common causes of Dreamweaver crashing on start up:
Conflict with security program on Acer computers
A corrupt Dreamweaver file cache
The 8KB bug
The following information describes how to handle each one.
Acer incomaptibility
There’s a known conflict between Dreamweaver and Acer eDataSecurity Management v3.0. If you’re on an Acer, and Dreamweaver won’t start, download the patch from http://www.egistec.com/oem-acer001/program-update.html. This should fix the problem.
Corrupted file cache
Dreamweaver creates a cache file called WinFileCache-********.dat or MacFileCache-********.dat inside your personal Dreamweaver configuration folder (the asterisks represent a series of letters and numbers that might differ from computer to computer). This occasionally gets corrupted causing instability, unpredictable error messages, and even crashes.
To solve the problem, close Dreamweaver and delete WinFileCache-********.dat or MacFileCache-********.dat. Sometimes, deleting this file is not sufficient, and you need to delete your personal configuration folder in its entirety.
WARNING: Do not confuse your personal configuration folder with the main configuration folder in Program Files in Windows or Applications on a Mac. You should never touch the main configuration folder unless you really know what you're doing.
Locating your personal configuration folder
The location of the personal configuration folder depends on your operating system and version of Dreamweaver. For Dreamweaver CS4, it’s as follows:
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:<language>:Configuration
In all cases, <username> is the name of your user account on the computer and <language> indicates the language of your operating system. The language is usually represented by two pairs of characters separated by an underscore, as in en_US (English), es_ES (Spanish), or fr_FR (French).
Earlier versions of Dreamweaver locate the personal configuration folder in a slightly different location. This is where it can be found in Dreamweaver CS3:
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver 9:Configuration
The Dreamweaver configuration folders are hidden on Windows, so you need to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in order to locate them, as follows:
In Vista, select Start > Computer > Organize > Folder and Search Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
In Windows XP, select Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
Once you turn on this option, hidden folders are displayed as dimmed icons to remind you to treat them with care.
The 8KB bug
This is a very rare bug that causes Dreamweaver to crash during operation, and then crash repeatedly each time you try to restart the program. It normally affects only Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows, and is caused by the presence of a file that's exactly 8,192 bytes (8KB) or a multiple thereof.
The solution is to open the file in a text editor and add a few extra characters (new lines or a comment will do). Save the file, and restart Dreamweaver.
If the file causing the problem is an image or other type of media file, edit it so that it's no longer an exact multiple of 8KB.

Try #12 and #4 and then go through the rest as necessary:

Windows Vista won't start or install - firmware or EFI problem?

I am running Snow Leopard on a 2.4GHz MacBook Pro, late 08 - early 09 model. I have been using boot camp to run Vista for the past year with no problem. This morning, I tried to start up Vista and it wasn't working. I got the option key screen to choose between OSX and Vista, but after choosing vista, the cursor blinks once and I get a black screen. The computer is quiet and nothing seems to be running.
At first I thought it was a boot camp problem. So I went into OSX, de-partitioned the drive, and repartitioned it. I then stuck the Vista install disk in, and clicked through the boot camp assistant to reinstall. The computer restarted to begin the reinstall process, but instead of starting the install disk, it did the same thing - a single blip of cursor, and then a black screen.
I'm not technically savvy, but that seems like it's not a Windows problem, but a firmware or EFI problem. The computer will run OSX, but it won't run boot camp and it won't start from a CD-ROM. The only other steps I've taken are to run Software Update and the Disk Utility from Safari. Neither helped. I'm out of warranty and would love to be able to fix it without spending tons of money. Any help is appreciated.

open terminal, run the following command:
sudo gpt -r show -l /dev/disk0
(press return, enter admin password, press return again)
output should look something like this:
Betsy7:~ kj$ sudo gpt -r show -l /dev/disk0
Password:
gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0
start size index contents
0 1 MBR
1 1 Pri GPT header
2 32 Pri GPT table
34 6
40 409600 1 GPT part - "EFI System Partition"
409640 316879664 2 GPT part - "RAPTOR"
317289304 262144
317551448 200889128 3 GPT part - "RAPTOR2"
518440576 262144
518702720 67287033 4 GPT part - "XP"
585989753 82582
586072335 32 Sec GPT table
586072367 1 Sec GPT header
The first line:
"gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0"
should be identical to mine. If the "Suspicious MBR"
line is missing, then it is a GPT problem, which indicates
that the MBR information is missing or more likely corrupt.
also the second and third lines will read:
start size index contents
0 1 PMBR
instead of:
start size index contents
0 1 MBR
If the MBR info in the GPT partition is corrupt or missing,
then (obviously) Windows won't be bootable.
The only tool reliably capable (that I know of) of repairing (rebuilding) the GPT/EFI
without wiping off all partitions and repartitioning the drive
is iPartition:
http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php
The command line program "gpt" is incomplete, so use
it at your own risk:
BUGS
The development of the gpt utility is still work in progress. Many necessary features
are missing or partially implemented. In practice this means that the manual page,
supposed to describe these features, is farther removed from being complete or useful.
As such, missing functionality is not even documented as missing. However, it is believed
that the currently present functionality is reliable and stable enough that this tool can be used
without bullet-proof footware if one thinks one does not make mistakes.

What can I do if my Windows 7 or Windows Vista laptop won't start?

I have joined many forums in my short computer life. This is by far the best forum that I have been a part of. It really up sets me when people come on here and complain before they have even given any of the staff or advisors a chance to help them with their problem. What can I do if my Windows 7 or Vista laptop won't start.

Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.

Vista won't start after fresh install of LabVIEW & 4G RAM

Since Vista is such a memory glutton I decided to upgrade my AMD64 box to 4 Gig RAM. Good idea, no? Turns out not. Now Vista won't start. It locks up at the (lack of) progress bar before the log-in screen. After much hollerin' and hair pullin' I reinstalled Vista and now it sees 3.25 Gig. I install updates; everything looks good; I install LabVIEW 8.0 and activate it. At restart WinDoze Vista won't start. Now I want to scream. My Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) partition runs fine and indicates 3.9 Gig RAM.
What is LabVIEW installing that has caused this? Does anybody have a place to start looking?
Thank You for reading my rantings
LabVIEW 8.0.1; WinDoze XP
aut viam inveniam aut faciam

Well, NI doesn't claim LabVIEW 8.0 is Vista compatible.
If you did the full install, you probably also installed Device Drivers and such. If you used the ones released with 8.0, they are definitely not Vista compatible. Those device drivers will try to load during Vista bootup. If you did, you will need to do a clean uninstall following this procedure. Download the latest drivers from NI's website and see if that fixes your problem.

Itunes 10.2.2.12 on Vista won't start -- d3d10_1core.dll

For the past few days iTunes won't start. I launch it, and a few seconds later, Windows tells me "iTunes has stopped working". In the Windows problem reports, the problem signature is:

From other kb articles, I've tried all of these:
-- Verified that Quicktime works
-- uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and other Apple products (several times)
-- disabled other startup programs
-- disabled Direct3D video acceleration in Quicktime
-- disabled DirectX in quicktime (used Safe mode)

Fault Module Name:          d3d10_1core.dll
Fault Module Version:          7.0.6002.22573
It's complaining about a DirectX 10 file.
Since that's an operating system file, it might be worth trying an sfc scannow, as per the following document:
