DW CS3 Hangs on exit

Has anyone else experienced a recent phenomenon where DW CS3 Hangs on exiting with Vista. This is new and started without any new extensions, but possibly after some windows updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium x64 with UAC off, and the error is:
The program Dreamweaver.exe version 9.0.0.3481 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed.
The Event ID is 1002 with a Task Category of 101.
Everything works fine except when I am done working and try to close the program.

Yes, it's starting happening for me 'recently'. It started happening on my laptop running Vista.
I've moved from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop and it now happens there as well.
This week, I moved from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium (fresh install) on my laptop and it is still happening.
I have found that if you open Dreamweaver and immediately close it without opening any files then it is ok, but if you open any file, close it, then close Dreamweaver then it just hangs. If you click the Windows close icon a few times then you get the 'look for solution', 'wait' or 'close immediately' options. If you view the crash details it says:

AE CS3 hanging on exit on I7 system with 12 gigs ram

I've been running CS3 on a single core XP system fine up to now, but recently purchased an Win7 I7 system with 12 gigs of ram, and moved my CS3 suite to it.
On a new,clean install, on a new clean system, AE CS3 is always hanging when I exit the program, with no indication of what is wrong, or chance to do anything. I just get a busy cursor that never goes away, and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL it to get any options to terminate the program.
Wondering how I can fix that. Keep in mind I'm on CS3, so please dont' suggest patches/updates intended for CS4.
If it's relevant, I am using OpenGL, and Render Mutiple Frames.... and I really hope I don't have to shut those off as a 'solution', as that would defeat the purpose of purchasing this new system.
Hope someone here can help. Thanks...

Yes, it still hangs, every time I exit AfterEffects. Didn't do this on the other system, but it happens every time on the new Win7 system.
Here's what Windows tells me when I CTRL+ALT+DEL it...

Is the solution that Adobe apparently found (and included in their CS4 update) going to be made available to CS3 users?
Are there any settings I could/should change?

Program hangs on exit

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble with the java virtual machine or maybe some class may be causing this too. Windows and everything else completely hangs once I exit from my program.
This just happens with some programs. I have been working on a project for a couply of weeks now, and there was absolutely nothing wrong. Then today the program starts to hang on exit. I have seen this happen with other programs as well, even demos i have downloaded from java.sun.com
Like I said, the programs works fine, just when you exit your stuck.
I have tried both exit methods which have worked fine in the past:
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
System.exit(0);
as well as:
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
I believe I set up the exit properly, since it has been working for the last couple of weeks and in all my other projects.
I can't seem to isolate what change to the program caused this. I thought it might just be an increase in size of the program, but even small demos from java.sun.com crash on exit.
If anybody has any ideas why this is happening can you please help me, i would really appreciate it.
I should mention I run Windows XP, and I have j2dsk1.4.1
Thanks in advance for any reply's.

I have also experienced this problem. The "easiest" way to reproduce it is to get JHotDraw 5.3 and just run up the sample app on Windows XP. Windows XP will hang when you attempt to exit the application(making it difficult to work out exactly what caused the hang). Running under a debugger (Eclipse) the hang is on System.exit, not the window.dispose or anything earlier. I can confirm that this is a problem with
1.4.1-b21 and with
1.4.1_01-b01 (the most recently available download).
I can also confirm that this is not a problem with the 1.3.1_04 or 07 releases.
Using the -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true flag gets rid of the problem for me on 1.4.1_01-b01 (thank you jbisotti).

Indesign CS3 hangs when launching - I have found a temp solution

I upgraded to snow leopard and ran into a problem straight away with Indesign CS3 hanging when I tried to launch it.
I have done some searching round the web and noticed a large number of posts stating the same.
I noticed, upon starting up for the first time in 10.6, that snow leopard asked me to install rosetta to run suitcase fusion v12.0. Out of curiosity I shut suitcase fusion down and tried to launch Indesign and I got a result. It launches fine and doesn't seem to suffer any crashes. It leaves me without a decent font manager but will allow me to get through the next few weeks until an update gets released (if apple puts some pressure on adobe)!
Hope it helps!

Hi RebeccaWooWah,
Please check "Applications" folder, you would see a file named "Adobe".
Kindly delete the file, as it is corrupt.
Create a folder "Adobe" in Applications folder, issue should be fixed.
Thanks,

I am having problem with Photoshop CS3 hanging

I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Thanks.

Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program's RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

CS3 Hangs Saving NEF File

Hi,
When I try to "Save As" a NEF file created from a Nikon D90, Photoshop CS3 hangs and I have to turn my computer off. It works fine with NEF files created with my older D70. I have Camera Raw 4.6 installed. If anyone aware of this problem?
Thanks,
Tracy

Gary,
There have been several reports here of folks who have problems using their computers (and/or Photoshop) if there is a disc in the drive as you have. As I recall, the solution (or workaround, if you prefer) is simply to copy whatever files you need for the day's session off the disc onto your hard drive. Remove the disc from the drive.

DW CS3 Hangs and Freezes!!!

DW CS3 on a Mac Hangs and Freeze constantly! Are other
finding this problem? I do not know what to do about it.

>Here's a more intelligent response
Well here it is a year later and daylight savings has ended.
Everytime I try to open a dynamic page, Dreamweaver CS3 hangs.
So I find this thread, delete the winfilecache.dat file, and all is well.
>The question is, how do we disable this?
So DWQues, the answer is out there for those with open minds.
I doubt DWQues will ever come this way again, but I am sure others will.
Happy standard time!!!

Premiere Elements 8 hang on exit - fixed

All,
As I posted earlier here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2435573#2435573 The "hang-on-exit" bug is now fixed in our latest beta drivers version 195.81. You can find those drivers here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
As a bonus, these drivers also fix a few issues with GPU accelerated Flash rendering, and fully support the Flash 10.1 beta 2 release, in case you are interested.

CS3 hangs in Vista 64 SP1 (sudden error)

Hello,
I'm going to describe this as best as I can: I have Design Premium CS3 installed for a couple of days now on my new Vista64 Home Premium, and it was working perfectly until today. I installed: Illustrator, Indesign, Dreamweaver, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 8 out of the complete package. Suddenlty today, Photoshop will hang when I try to open it. Not even the intro screen appears, but the process can be seen in the task manager (processes tab), still open, but with a particular memory size: 4740 k (it doesn't change or nothing). CPU usage is at 00. It won't show in the application manager. The thing is, all the rest of the apps I installed work perfectly. Only PS is giving me this trouble.
I have been browsing this forums the whole night, and this is what I found as a possible solution:
Vista64hates CS3, "Photoshop (CS3) Hangs When Started" #20, 12 Aug 2008 8:57 pm (check out the guy who posts as VistaHatesCs3)
It didn't work. Can anybody help with this?
Thanks in advance,
Francisco G.

what do you mean you "lost the files"? anyway they should be recreated on first (successful) use.
i'd try to disconnect from the internet, disable firewall and anti-virus and try again. also might want to give that link in the other thread a try again. it does sound like something's trying to kick in and it's being stopped (the adobe licensing service most likely).

CS3 hangs up on reading preferences

All of a sudden CS3 hangs up at the splash screen while reading preferences, I gave it 5 minutes but the busy circle just keeps spinning and the program won't open.
I have a brand new laptop running Windows 7 and CS3 was working!

Thanks I will keep this in mind, but finally after just letting ti go, it opened! Then I closed it and reopened it and it opened normally without haning up, just a weird glitch I guess?

Mail and Safari hang on exit after recover from disk crash

Hi,
I had recently a disk crash on my powerbook. Fortunately the disk gave me enough time to save a disk image of my home folder before it died. Now, I have a new disk in, reinstalled Tiger, updated to 10.4.4. (as I had on the dead disk), copied the home folder from the backup, and fortunately most things work fine.
I had a system CRASH, while doing the first Spotlight search. I had a second system CRASH, while working in mail. So, I cleared the mail cache. After that, I had no crash anymore and even mail is working fine, until I decide to quit. It then hangs and I have to Force Quit to exit. Similar things happens to Safari.
I tried several things, e.g. removed the Envelope Index, but it always hangs on exit.
Any ideas what is going on? I wouldn't like to clear mails totally and reimport and reconfigure the whole thing from scratch.
Any help is welcome,
Thomas

Just in case somebody else runs into such a problem, here is the solution to my puzzle:
For security reasons (I have a Powerbook and I was worrying about private data in case of a theft...) my mailboxes and any sensitive information is kept on a FileVault disk image of an account I'm usually not using. Instead the FileVault encrypted disk image is mounted in my home folder. To have Mail use the different location I've put symbolic links (ln -s from the terminal).
Now the problem was, that after my disk crash, some of the directories had been lost, so the links pointed to nowhere. I've got aware on this by looking on the Finder's info on that link. The "More info..." was busy all the time. This means that symbolic links (not aliases!) that point to nowhere are not correctly handled by the Finder and probably by other applications).
Creating the folders the links pointed to solved the problem!
Nice to know!
Thomas

Applet leaves cmd prompt hanging afr exit under 1.3.1_02, ok under 1.2.2

Subject: Applet leaves cmd prompt hanging afr exit under 1.3.1_02, ok under 1.2.2
I am working with examples from a Java book. My applets leaving the command promt hanging after closing them by clicking the X in the upper left corner. I am running Windows NT 4.0, svc pack 6.
After the applet is ended the command window hangs and won't respond to ctrl-c. If I attempt to close the command window a message box appears saying the command window is unable to respond to the end request (busy or waiting) and gives me the option to wait / end / cancel.
This has happened with all the applet examples I have tried and some Sun JAI examples.
Here is an example from a Java primer:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
<applet code="AppletLifecycle" width=300 height=50>
</applet>
public class AppletLifecycle extends Applet {
String str = "";
public void init() {
str += "init; ";
public void start() {
str += "start; ";
public void stop() {
str += "stop; ";
public void destroy() {
System.out.println("destroy");
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString(str, 10, 25);
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
<applet code="FirstApplet" width=400 height=400>
</applet>
public class FirstApplet extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("This is my first applet!", 20, 200);
After compling, from the command line I enter:
C:> appletviewer AppletLifecycle.java (or AppletLifecycle.htm)
The applet comes up correctly.
If I close the applet by clicking the X in the upper right corner
- the applet window goes blank
- "destroy" appears in the command window
- the command session is hung and will not respond to a ctrl-c to end the application
I either have to use task manager to kill the command session or click on the X in the upper right corner of the command window. Task manger says the command session is "not responding". Either way I get the message that the application cannot respond to the end task request (may be busy, waiting for a response, etc.) and the option to wait / end / cancel.
Under Java 1.2.2 after closing the applet the command session is "waiting" ("hung") until a ctrl-c is typed. Then the DOS promt returns and the command session is free.
This behavior is consistent with several of the applets in this text book.
I first encountered this problem when working with examples in the JAI (java advanced imaging) package from Sun. These samples run as applications and display an image. They work correctly but hang when I attempt to close them. I have tried the examples only under 1.3.1_02.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks
Bill

The book says that the destory method is is called when an applet is closed.
If the applet does not have a destroy method then the default destoy method
the the Applet class is called. Is that wrong or am I not understanding.The book and your understanding is correct. It's just that my experience has indicated that overriding the destroy method is not a good idea. The applet's stop method is called (by the appletviewer or a web browser) when it's ready to close or move onto another document, so any cleanup that you need to do should be done in the stop method. As far as browsers go, IE destroy the applet when you move to another document but Netscape 4+ only call the destroy method when the browser window is closed but there is no guarantee that NN4 will ever call the destroy method. That's the reason why I don't recommend overriding the destroy method -- but as long as you know what is in store for you, you can do anything you want.
BTW, I've compiled and tested the AppletLifecycle.java program on my JDK1.3.1 and it works with the appletviewer, IE5.5 and NN4.7. I have no trouble stoping the program from the MS-DOS window with a CTRL-C or click the little x on the upper right corner of the display. I do know that when I upgraded to 1.3.1_02, all my applets mysteriously stopped working so I went back to 1.3.1 -- maybe that's the reason why you're left hanging.

Windows 7 x64 / DM 6.0 b47 - DM hangs on exit

Hello!
I am running Windows 7, 64-Bit, with all of the latest updates and patches. I also have downloaded and installed the latest version of Desktop Manager 6.0 (b47).
DM seems to work fine - I can launch it, use it, connect to the Blackberry, sync, etc. - no problems yet.
When I attempt to exit the Desktop Manager, it begins to close, then hangs - the DM window is black (no background, menus, etc.), but also non-responsive. I cannot move the window, click on anything, etc. The rest of Windows behaves normally.
This is not a major show-stopper, but is annoying in that I need to use the Task Manager each time I need to close the DM. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing DM already.
I am running Office 2010, 64-Bit, although I am NOT configuring the DM to connect / sync with it at all.
Thank you!

I am having the same problem - I must invoke Windows Task Manager and shut down both the application and the processes associated with the program. It's annoying.
I have a Blackberry Bold 9780.
Desktop Software is Version 6.0, Bundle 863
I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit.

Firefox 4 Hangs on Exit even in safe mode Win 7 x64

Whenever I close firefox 4 using the upper right "close" button in Windows 7 x64, it hangs in memory. The windows themselves seem to close properly, but I cannot start firefox without using the "end process tree" function in task manager. If, however, I use the firefox menu-->exit, this behavior doesn't happen. Firefox will close normally. This even happens in safe mode. I have tried re-installing firefox to no avail. I have even disabled AntiVir free with no success. I have not yet tried to disable windows defender, but that shouldn't be problematic. Any answers out there? Anyone with similar problems? I run a clean system, and I'm very tech savvy, but this one just boggles me.

Solved? Ok, so I think I fixed this myself. Originally, re-installing firefox after an uninstall (w/ option to delete profile) did not work. Here is what did work for me:
 
-Complete uninstall of firefox w/ option to delete profile 
-Manually delete entire profile under c:/users/NAME/app data/roaming/mozilla (yes, information will still be there even after a complete uninstall of firefox) 
-Update any other mozilla products (for me, Thunderbird... it turns out the older version was somehow sharing plugins and profile directories) 
-Download firefox 4.0 
-Install w/ defaults 
-disable all plugins manually (go to add-ons and select "disable" for each... why are there plugins you ask? well, some things like Adobe reader, etc... will automatically load in when firefox is installed if that particular program is already on your computer) 
-enable only basic plugins (for me, flash, java, and silverlight) 
-change settings as preferred (my changes were all in the privacy settings) 
-close and reopen firefox (I would recommend doing this at every minute step so you can troubleshoot what happened) 
-add plugins/extensions one at a time, reset firefox (option given once a plugin is installed), configure the plugin, close firefox, open firefox, repeat and wash for each plugin... 
-if any plugin/extension causes a hang, disable it. "End tree" in task manager for the hung firefox. Start firefox. Disable plugin. Do not "Restart" firefox at this point, as it will hang. Instead, use firefox-->close. Then, go in and try enabling the plugin, configure it, and the restart. If all is good at this point, leave the plugin. If not, wash, repeat, leave it disabled and move on without it at this point. 
-run your firefox sync 
-enjoy a working copy of firefox. 
The essential point is to CLEAN EVERY POSSIBLE THING OUT and install the bare minimum, then add parts incrementally and determine that every increment works. Simple, straightforward, but not always obvious.
I hope this helps...
