DW CS3 crashes, freezes, bluescreen / VISTA

Hi and thanks,
I am using DW CS3 on a computer and recently it has really
started being a problem,. I have reinstalled, run memory checks,
updated drivers for HD, Video, etc and still same problems.
Using a AMD 3200 with 3 gigs memory and vista home premium.
The problem is that randomly while only using dreamweaver,
the computer will:
1. give me the CS3 has encountered a problem message and shut
down
2. Go to blue screen memory dump
3. shut down all the way to black scree
This only happens with dreamweaver and I am out of any
solutions...
Anyone have some advice??

Right click on the executable. You'll find it there.

Adobe After Effects CS3 Crash help on Vista

I've installed and re installed After Effects about 5 times now and it keeps crashing when the splash screen pops up. The message "Adobe After Effects CS3 has stopped working." I found that the message comes up when its initializing Media Core. Here is the report from vista about the App Crash.

I used CS3 Clean script and followed all the instructions for "Bigger problem-solving tools" and "Other Tips & Tricks" on http://generalspecialist.com/2007/02/troubleshooting-after-effects-7.asp.
I'm still having the same problem but only StackHash_d742 is the problem none of the other extensions are showing up, after I attempt to run the program multiple times.
Is there a way to track this file down?

Problems with Bridge CS3 crash freeze and burn

Hi,
I am running Bridge CS3 version 2.1. 100 on a MacBook Pro 3
Intel Core Duo
2.4 GHz, 2GB ram
I am having some serious Bridge issues. My problems have ranged from it just being very sluggish and slow to Bridge not applying a label to random crashes.
So far today here are the issues:
"Operation Cannot be completed, an unknown OS error has occurred"
"EventHandler:2976"
Will not apply a label when using the command key or from the tool bar menu
Not responding when quitting from icon in the dock
freezes when renaming a file
unexpectedly quit while cropping an image in PS CS3
Things I have tried to resolve this:
shift-alt-command and reset all preferences and purged cache
changing the thumbnails preferences to only process 50mb or smaller files
create small thumbnails
(as a former pc user) I have restarted multiple times...
Things I have not tried:
rebuilding OS
uninstall reinstall
throwing laptop in bathtub
The files I am working on range in size from 4 mb up to 400 mb .psd files
Any ideas?

I can't use Bridge CS3 anymore. It freezes on my screen and the only way to close it is with task manager. Had problems with it the first time I loaded it...a full version of CS3, no upgrade. Spoke with 2 Adobe technicians who tried to help, but being a believer in Murphy's Laws I decided to bypass their suggestions which I had already tried.
The best viewer alternatives to Bridge are:
-Fast Stone Image Viewer is shareware and handles .psd files along with RAW, TIFF, JPG, etc. Go to their site an look for yourself. It was so good I sent them the suggested contribution. Adobe could learn a lot from them.
-Use Adobe Lightroom as a viewer and to do preliminary editing before launching the file into CS3. Adobe got it right in Lightroom...how come not in bridge CS3?
-Nikon View NX is good but doesn't show .psd files.
Nikon's Capture NX is a reasonable alternative to CS3 if you get fed up with Adobe. Or go back to PS Elements!
Finally, some lecturing Photoshop gurus have called Bridge "JUNK...you get what you pay for." Correct.
Benefits of JUNK sofware is that you explore alternatives and can be surprised at what's available out there.
Conclusion: Bridge CS3 is meant to be a "bridge" to many PS products, but for me it's a "bridge to nowhere." Make it simple, guys.

T410s Optimus: Crashing/Freezing/Bugs in association with Minidock+External Displays

Hi There.
Because my new Thinkpad T410s 2912WA6 (Optimus) and it's Bugs Features are quite time-consuming while i would need a reliable system to get things done, (that is why i spent over 1800 Euros on dock+thinkpad), i have to make it short.
1) optimus driver (nvidia/intel) crashing freezing bluescreening while docked and full hd displays over dvi attached, even still in 8.17.12.6802/8.15.10.
8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2154 or whatever C:/SWTOOLS contains and what was installed on delivery works fine. plz fix.
2) want to see boot screen of my t410s optimus while docked on dvi display attached to dock. not possible for now. plz fix.
3) i guess docking station is designed to free some space on my desk --> dock + thinkpad far away from desk --> want to wake thinkpad up by pressing a key on my usb wireless keyboard attached to dock --> does not work --> pain in my back, pain in my mind.
plz fix.
okay...maybe too short, here some more detailed information:
1) Most annoying bug is the new always everything crashing nvidia optimus driver. As discussed in many other threads, there are rough problems with high DPC, freezes, blue screens. For me, i could identify nvlddmkm.sys as source of high DPC, while i had no time or not the knowledge to investigate on freezes or bluescreens.
In Fact: My T410s, bought in november 2010 was working fine, and i had no problems aswell as i started using a mini dock plus series 3 in combination with 2 Full HD 24'' Displays on the 2 DVI Ports on the Minidock.
In March 2011, Lenovo Update Software installed an update on the Graphics Driver (this may not mean the Driver Update was released at this date, i just ran the Update Software for the first time) was installed, the corresponding line in the Installation Protocol is:
"Thinkpad Video Features[NVIDIA NVS 3100M Optimus] for Windows 7 64bit | 8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2202"
Interestingly i think the Nvidia driver version-nr didnt change, while the intel hd driver-nr was 8.15.10.2154 before.
From that day on, with increasing frequency, win7 started to freeze, in random situations but almost always while using it docked with 1 or 2 24" displays attached on DVI, nearly never when undocked. Aswell i just saw a black screen when switching youtube videos to full screen, same issue described by other users. The Flash-fullscreen issue was fixed after installing 8.17.12.6802, inoffically posted by Jamez in another thread. However, the freezing continued and i got a blue screen everytime i sent my T410s to Standby Mode while docked, no problem undocked.
After that, i luckily found out that under C:\SWTOOLS all drivers thet were installed on delivery can be found. I installed the "old" nvidia and intel hd drivers, since that, THANK THE LORD, no freezing anymore, everything works fine.
What i want to tell here: For me its ok to use these old drivers for the rest of my life and i dont have any motivation to give any grahpics driver update another chance, but i guess there are other users out there, struggling with this issues so you might better send them working drivers for optimus/nvidia systems.
2) an annoying fact aswell, and after searching google and this forum for "t410(s) optimus boot display" i dont believe that this is an individual error for me that can be resolved by recovery or similiar suicide attempts. Short and crisp: it is impossible to see the boot screen on my external Displays when Thinkpad is docked and Optimus is activated.
Of course, there is a BIOS setting, allowing me to select the Boot Display, and it proudly tells me i can selected "Digital 1/Digital 2" for the Dock-DVI Ports, but when selecting this Option, i only have the choice between VGA, Internal, and HDMI (Digital on Thinkpad). No Digital 1, no Digital 2. As others told me, Digital 1/2 can be selected as soon as you switch from "optimus" to "descrete". But guess what, i bought a optimus system so i want to use it. I hope this can be fixed by a new BIOS-Version or any other kind of update.
3) obviously, it is not possible to wake up a sleeping and docked t410s remotely, especially by wireless keyboard. First thing is, of course, i DONT want to attach the usb keyboard receiver directly to the thinkpad/yellow usb port. If i do so, i dont need a docking station anymore because i have this docking station for fast undocking without removing extra cables. Second interesting thing: Despite of my wish to have no cables directly attached to my thinkpad, i tried it on the yellow usb slot. my usb receiver was working (blinking) while thinkpad was in standby mode, but nevertheless, it didnt wake up on pressing keyboard/mouse. i have set the right settings in device manager.
So, excuse my bad english, im from germany so it is quite hard for me to write down all this in english. I would appreciate comments from other users, experiencing the same problems/bugs, aswell as what lenovo staff has to say about it. thanks for your attention.

ThinkMIke/Lenovo staff:
Did you ever solve the problem? I am experiencing something similar. Somewhat similar hardware setup: T410 w/ optimus + Minidock 3 + two external monitors (using DVI and VGA ports); laptop closed. Long ago, I "bit the bullet" and plugged wireless keyboard/mouse dongle into laptop USB port to enable waking from sleep via keybaord/mouse...painful, but used to suffice; would not work with dongle plugged into Minidock. More recently, I have been fighting Optimus bugs that cause my system to freeze every ten minutes or so. Recently tried switching off Optimus in BIOS. This eliminates the freezes, but now my system cannot be woken from sleep at all, and once "sleeping" eventually shuts down. (In fact, the system doesn't seem to really sleep...the fan seems to continue to run.) This problem now persists even if I turn Optimus back on in BIOS...I seem to have moved the system to a new and different unstable state. Any insights?
Thanks!

InDesign CS3 crashes on start up, using Tiger

i recently installed InDesign CS3 on my machine, and it unexpectedly quits whenever i try to start it. it starts up fine in safe mode. I did the following already, getting this information from the InDesign support page:
When you start Adobe InDesign CS3 or Adobe InCopy CS3 on Mac OS, the application crashes, freezes, or quits with one of the following error messages:
"The application Adobe InDesign has unexpectedly quit."
"The application Adobe InCopy has unexpectedly quit."
Solution
Do one or more of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Delete all Adobefnt10.lst files.
Solution 2: Troubleshoot fonts by disabling a few at a time.
Solution 4: Disable the Font Agent plug-in.
Solution 5: Start the application in Safe mode and disable Font Preview.
is there anything else i should try before calling it quits? thanks.

Delete InDesign preferences.
Check if you have any damaged fonts.
Repair permissions.
Make sure you are fully updated to the latest version of InDesign CS3, which 5.0.2.
Make sure your Tiger is updated to 10.4.11.
Make sure you have read & write permissions to your own user/your username/preferences folder.
Make sure you have read & write permissions to the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder.

Photoshop CS3 crashing when opening or saving files

I wonder if anybody here know why this problem won't disappear even after reinstalling my Photoshop CS3? Whenever I try to open a file (any image format) or save by using Cmd+O, Cmd+S or the File menu in Photoshop, Photoshop is crashing. Brutal crash, goes down. This means I can't save anything I create. Exporting via "export to web" is working, but I can't save (or save as) PS documents.
I have deleted all prefs files etc, and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but that did nothing.

Hi. To read about application crashes, you can look at http://www.tekserve.com/service/mac-faq/crashes-freezes/application-unexpectedly -quit.php and follow the suggestions in http://www.tekserve.com/service/mac-faq/crashes-freezes/application-troubleshoot ing.php. In particular, I would check for updates to your Photoshop application. The disk installed version of Photoshop CS3 had various problems with Leopard. As I remember, one of the problems was crashing when using the Open and Save dialog boxes. If for some reason you can't update to the latest version of CS3, or you're already at the latest version, you could try going into the Photoshop preferences and seeing if there is a toggle for Adobe dialog boxes vs Apple dialog boxes. I recall CS3 having such a setting but I can't find it in CS4 right now. I also recall having a similar problem with CS3 and Leopard until I ticked that checkbox one way or the other. Good luck!

Solved the Illustrator CS3 Crash Error upon saving file on my OS.

I was unable to save any Illustrator file. Upon saving a file Illustrator CS3 crashed and an error message would pop up and windows error reporting service would be launched to report the error and close Illustrator.exe.
Until i found out that i had the "Print Spooler Service" set to manual. I always start this service manually when need to print things. So, when i started this service and did a print from MS Word, and latter on thought to give Adobe Illustrator another try, i created an illustration and click on save and WOW it saved my file without any crashes.
To test this worked fully, i opened an older version .ai file and did some changes and used the save and save as command, both worked.
I am relieved now.

This one is for all of you who couldn't get the above to work:
I have Windows XP and CS3 Illustrator.
This same problem happened to me in Photoshop. To fix it, I stopped Version Cue from grabbing the "Save As" window before I could save. Here's how:
In Photoshop:
Edit > Preferences > File Handling...
In the last box, uncheck "Enable Version Cue." Problem solved. (I believe this may be turned on during Adobe update, but I am unsure. What I do know is the problem stems entirely from Version Cue.)
The fix for Illustrator is a bit more complex. The same thing happened to me in Illustrator (and it used to save just fine without any changes on my part) but Version Cue was already unchecked. That is why I wound up on this thread.
1) In Illustrator:
Edit > Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard
2) Uncheck "Enable Version Cue" (if it is already unchecked, this is okay, that is how mine was)
3) Go into Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)
Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Support Files > Contents > Windows
4) In this folder is a sub folder called "Version Cue." Rename "Version Cue" to something else like "OLD Version Cue".
5) You can now save files in Illustrator (may require relaunch of Illustrator).
***NOTE***
From one of the above posts I found that to keep from having to kill Illustrator every time it freezes on save (pre-fix) hold down "Alt+F4" to close the invisible "Save as" window that is locking things up.
If the above does not work, try some of the other things I did which I do not believe made a difference, but just in case:
1) Choose a valid, online printer
2) Close other programs
3) Restart your computer
4) Trash the old Illustrator preferences (Documents and Settings > (your login) > Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings)
5) When Illustrator freezes, hit "alt" then after hit "enter" then select "Move" from the drop down menu at the top left. Drag a whole bunch without lifting the left click button. Restart Illustrator. Repeat.

My Premiere CS3 crashes when I am exporting anything.

Premiere CS3 crashes on my HD project Most of the video i am working with is from the new 5D The files are as I recorded them on the camera there have been no conversion done to them. when ever I try to export anything out of premiere it crashes and windows Vista 64 crashes with it showing a blue screen and restarting the computer. I don't know whats the problem. I think it mite be my hard drives or something on the hardware end.
I am running
E8500 processor with 4 gb of ram DDR3 1600 Asus P5Q3 mob and Ati 4890 graphic card also I have 2 big hardrives and two 500gb drives on Raid.

BSOD can also point to heat, bad RAM, MoBo issue or power supply not adequate, along with Jeff's suggestions.
This ARTICLE might point you in the right direction.
I cannot recall if that article mentions Speedfan, but if it IS a heat issue, that will help you sort it out.
Good luck,

is often like a detective story: the more clues one has to

Well, my problem is that the cs3 starting to crash doesn't

I don't have CS3 installed on Vista, so I'm afraid I can't
provide any
offhand suggestions. Since you haven't seen problems until
today, the first
thing that strikes me is: what happened with today's FLA that
was different
from your previous efforts? Did you import an unusual
external asset (even
if only unsual for you)? Maybe you imported a corrupted JPG
or PNG. Maybe
a bad font?
I did nothing with the fla that started the crash, I imported
some bitmaps and when trying to publish it, it crashed. Also, I
created another fla, imported some random jpgs 2 I believe, tried
to export it to the same folder, and cs3 crashed, saved the fla
with another name garbage.fla No fonts were used
> Hint:

Believe me, I'd be asking these "why" questions myself in
your shoes.
What you're describing doesn't sound like a well known issue,
so my hunch is
that something is awry with this particular FLA file --
something not likely
to be easily reproduced. Since you can publish when saving to
another
folder, I would run with that workaround for the time being.
After saving
to a different folder, try using File > Save and Compact,
then move the FLA
back to your original folder and try again. Or ... try File
> Save As from
the new folder, and save the copy into your original folder.
In your duplicate post, you mentioned starting a thread of
your own
(this one) but not hearing any responses. Obviously, I can
only speak for
myself in this reply, but it may be that you didn't get
responses because
your question is on the vague side. It doesn't describe a
common issue
(like, for example, "Why can't I mask dynamic text?" [answer,
"Make sure to
embed your font outlines"]).
When I read these forums, I tend to skim the subject lines
looking for
descriptive summaries. Many people post questions like "How
did they do
this?" or "Help!" or "Flash question" ... none of which
describe meaningful
topics. In my opinion, your subject line is useful, because
it briefly
summarizes your question. That's a good thing. When I read
the actual body
of your post, though, I quickly realized there wasn't enough
(for me, at
least) to give you a solid answer. In this case, I've tried
to give you a
few pointers anyway, but I'm only hazarding a few "try this"
type
suggestions.
It may be that others who read your post felt equally unable
to answer
your questions with confidence -- at least, as stated.
Well, I did some research on the internet and there is a
quite more few people having the same problem, here is the other
forum I found:

I am sorry that I didn't post any more specifications of what
I was doing, but what I was doing was not something different or

CS3 crashes on paste text box

Hi!
Running CS 3 on dual core intel 2 GB ram only program open. About 50% of the time the machine crashes when pasting a text box from one doc to another. We've repaired permissions, reinstalled InDesign w/ all the upgrades and still it happens. We have 3 machines all exactly alike including type & this is the only one it happens on. Please help. Thanks

I don't know if it's really any sort of answer but I run 3 monitors. I had 2 off a Radeon X1900 XT including a 30", and 1 on a NVidia 7300 on a Mac Pro. It worked great on Tiger but under Leopard I would get at least 20 crashes/freezes a day, particularly InDesign CS3. This morning I had a brain f**t and put in another 7300 card and hooked up 1 monitor to each card.
Surprise, surprise! I haven't had a crash or freeze all day.

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after Daylight Savings Time ends

In Windows XP x64, Dreamweaver CS3 crashes after
Daylight Savings Time ends. There is a technote that seems to
describe the situation exactly.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402776&sliceId=1
However...
1) The technote says this happens only with ASP and PHP code.
I'm using ColdFusion. (That's a minor point.)
2) The technote says...
Delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file from the
Dreamweaver user configuration folder. Note that on Windows, the
Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so
verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View
Hidden Folders. The location of this file is as follows:
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
However, I coudn't find WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat in
Documents and Settings or in Program Files (86)\Adobe. (The 86 is
because this is a 32-bit program on a 64-bit machine, but all the
rest is the same.) I then searched both directories for *.dat and
there was no file that looked anything like
WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat.
.Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Alan, thanks for the suggestion.
I did the search found the file, deleted it, opened
Dreamweaver CS3, selected the same text -- and it crashed as
before.
THEN I REBOOTED and tried again - NO CRASH. So it seems that
a reboot is an essential part of the fix.
BTW: My situation fit the Technote description exactly. (1)
The crash happened when selecting -- in design or code view --
certain text in a context of HTML intermingled with ColdFusion
code; (2) I had no problem with these files before Daylight Savings
ended; (3) even after that I had no problem with them in Macromedia
Dreamweaver 8 on another machine -- the problem was only on CS3.
So the Technote is correct as far as it goes, but should be
amended as follows:
1) ColdFusion should be included in the types of code that
can be associated with the problem.
2) Instead of deleting WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat, one should
delete WinFileCache-[whatever].dat.
3) A reboot after the deletion may be required.
Anyway, problem solved.
Thank you!

Dreamweaver CS3 crashing when importing site settings

Hi,
I've installed a copy of Dreamweaver CS3 on a new Vista 64-bit machine. I've tried to import .ste files pertaining to some sites which I copied over from my old computer (where things were slow but working). When I import the .ste files, it brings in the settings, but as soon as I click on "done", Dreamweaver crashes. I've tried this on a couple of sites now, and still the same crash at the same point.
How do I get this working?
Thanks,
Derek
