DW CS4 Trial crashes

Hi
I don't know if this has been posted before, but I can't use
the search to check.
I've just downloaded and installed the trial version of DW
CS4, install was fine. DW opens up and I can make edits etc. But as
soon as I click on the top toolbar (file, edit etc), it crashes.
Anyone else had this problem? I'm running it on OSX 10.5.6.
Have restarted but no change. Have also downloaded trials of
Fireworks and InDesign, both of which are fine.
Any help much appreciated!

How much free hard drive space do you have on the boot drive? Go to the system information panel to make sure the 4GB RAM is being registered by the system.

Flash CS4 Trial Version Crash

I've been using Flash CS3 pro. It crashes when importing images to library. Ran all updates -still crahses
So I downloaded Flash CS4 trial ran all the updates. It ran fine for a few hours... then crashed.
Now Trial version also crashes also when importing images to library.
Error window says: windows - no disk exception processing message c000013 parameters .......
progam then stops responsing....I have a ticket in at support but no answer in almost 3 days now.
Running Windows XP
Please advise - I have a flash file that needs updating.

It's been my experience that with computers that only barely meet the system requirements across the board for Flash or many other Adobe products tend to crash those products even when performing the most seemingly mundane tasks. If installing more RAM is not an option, try keeping all other programs/windows closed while working in Flash. (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/systemreqs/)
One little trick that I have found to be usefull on slower machines is to not Import to Library, but rather Import to Stage. Importing to the library also adds the step of creating a graphic symbol (CS3) or a movie clip (CS4), whereas Importing to the stage does not.
Also, are you pulling the images off of an external device like a USB drive or an external hard drive? This could be another - and probably the real - reason you are experiencing the error. Try putting the images on your HD, then importing.
You may still want to get some more RAM to handle Flash CS4.

CS2 crashes when trying to load image AFTER CS4 trial

I just recently used the CS4 Extended trial (which worked fine). It's 30 days ended and I sadly went back to my purchased copy of CS2 (actually own the whole Prodcution Studio Premium).
Now when I try it, Photoshop CS2 loads fine, but then hangs whenever I try to load ANY image. It even displays the thumbnails correctly. Just freezes and then gives the "Not responding" error after a few more seconds when I actually try to click on any picture.
I uninstalled CS4 -still happened. I uninstalled CS2 and reloaded the whole suite. Same thing. I then uninstalled it again and then manually deleted all the files I could physically find, reinstalled it. Same thing.
I am going mad!!
I am running the whole thing on Vista 64 Home Premium with 8 gigs. (And everything worked FINE before the trial, and yes, I tried with and without all the latest CS2 patches AND tried running it in Windows XP SP2 compatability mode already -although it worked fine before without it.)
Any thoughts from anyone?
Randy

I have hundred of dollars worth of software sitting useless on 5 DVD's next to me because "CS2 is no longer supported".
It never was on Vista!
I sympathise with your situation however, and you do seem to have tried everything that might help.
Your conclusion that uninstalling the CS4 trial took CS2 with it is wrong unless you ignored warnings about shared files.
Your concept of activation is wrong too. Activation counters can be reset by Adobe if they get an explanation.
There may be a way out of this but you might find it less hassle in the long run to reformat and start from scratch.
On the other hand, since you are are only just in the upgrade window, you might consider upgrading to a version designed for Vista

InDesign CS4 keeps crashing at startup "Starting up Service Registry"

ID CS4 book crashes when imported Illustrator graphics encountered

I'm testing my first InDesign book (.indb) , and InDesign is crashing whenever it encounters anything but the simplest placed Illustrator CS3 file. This happens even when there is just one file in the book! I've tried using the "Export Book to PDF" command, printing to a .ps file, and printing to a real printer. No luck. The files in the book all distill and print fine individually. I've tried both .ai and .eps formats, but it doesn't make any difference. If I delete the Illustrator files from the ID files, the book distills without problems.
I'm using a downloaded trial version of CS4. Could that be the problem? We are running these tests to see if it would be possible to convert some of our documents from FrameMaker to InDesign. So far, it looks like the answer is no. 8-)
Other than that, I'm using Windows XP Professional.
Many thanks.

Good Morning, Mr. Spier --
First, you are much more than kind to take an interest in this. I
can't thank you enough.
How much free drive space do you have? How much RAM?
Drive space: tons
RAM: 3 GB
Are these really complex vector files?
In some cases yes, but often no. These are technical illustrations.
But here's the thing: When I remove them from the ID CS4 files,
crashing ceases. But when I place them in a new file, with nothing
else in it, they will usually distill from within the book. I've tried
stripping out any non-graphic element that might somehow conflict with
the illustrations -- e.g., master page items that contain user-
defined variables and conditional text -- but nothing seems to help.
When I rasterize the illustrations and bring them in as tiffs, no
problem. But again, all these files distill just fine when handled
individually.
Any chance you could poast a sample somewhere and give us a link to
it for testing on other systems? What you are describing is far from
normal.
Yes, I have an ftp site. But before I pester you, I'm trying to
arrange some off-site testing now. The illustrator who created the ai
files is going to do a test on a Mac of a small subset of files (that
nevertheless crashes on my system).
And this morning I've emailed a colleague who has CS4 on a Windows
machine. I want to see how things behave on her system. I'll report
back.
Also, I've attached a PDF of one of the files just so you can see what
I'm working with. Note the logo in the upper left corner. This is
always the element that crashes InDesign. When I remove it, the large
illustration in the body of the page causes the crash. (For the
record, this is one of the simplest illustrations.) The icon in the
upper right corner and the logo in the running footer don't crash.
Oddly, these are both old eps files.
Again, most sincere thanks for your above-and-beyond kindness.

Need help down loading cs4 after crash

need help downloading cs4, post crash that wipped out programs

if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

Photoshop CS4 Installation Crash Issues

Hey all.
I was installing the trial version of CS4 (on Vista) when my power went out. When I tried to install again, I kept getting this error message:
>- undefined
>- The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media
I checked the log and these are the errors I picked up:
>Failed to create payload session.
>Unable to load fileOptions from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\faf656ef605427ee2f42989c3ad31b8\resources\pages\Install\Options\Op tions.js

>Localization: missing stringID "undefined" for en_US in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\faf656ef605427ee2f42989c3ad31b8\resources\main.xml
I've tried a ton of different *solutions* to try and fix this. My attempt to uninstall via control panel failed, i got the same error message is the install. I can't find any CS4 folders in the regedit, so that didn't work. I downloaded windows install wizard utility, ran that, as well as the adobe cs4 cleanup script.
I manually deleted the common files > installer folder. I even uninstalled the illustrator CS4 trial.
Lastly i did a system restore.
Nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Could You post the file (provided it’s not too big) or at least a screenshot of the 3D (Materials)-Panel with some of the problematic Material selected?

Adobe Photoshop Extended CS4 Trial on Macbook

Hi, my girlfriend tried to install the photoshop CS4 trial on her spanking new macbook. However, after downloading the trial and running the installer SUCCESSFULLY, she encounted a problem opening PS.
The icon didn't show up, and when clicked an error message popped up, saying something to the effect of...
"photoshop is not supported on this architecture."
Does anyone know what the problem is?? Her laptop is a BRAND NEW 2.13GHz macbook, Intel Core 2 Duo etc etc etc... So I dont understand the error. Considering it is the right architecture. Anyone else had this problem? Iv searched the forum and googled the issue but I cant find an answer.
Any response would be greatly appreciated
Rick

I recently encountered this exact problem installing Photoshop CS4 trial on an Oct. 2006 production vintage MacBook Black 13" with 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 core, 1.5GB ram, lots of hard drive space, running OS X 10.5.8.
After much waiting on the Adobe help line, I could not even get them to say it was supposed to work on the MacBook. At one point they suggested downgrading to 10.5.4 to be in line with the required specs. I said no will do that.
The installer apparently ran correctly but when trying to open Photoshop, it gave the 'architecture not supported' error which turns out to be bogus.
I did the same install on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.2 which was successful, and I saw that there was a lot more stuff installed in the Photoshop folder.
I finally upgraded the MacBook to 10.6.2 but the install would still not work, even after performing the Photoshop CS4 uninstall from Utilities/Adobe Installers first to get rid of previous attempts.
It seems that the installer is completely broken. If it detects any remnants from other installs, it seems to not even try to do the complete install, yet doesn't give any error messages. The broken install is only apparent when trying to run the app, and it gives a totally bogus error message.
I finally found the Adobe CS4 Clean Script which showed a previous trial install of
Creative Suite 4 Master Collection which also had not worked. Removing that with the Adobe CS4 Clean Script then for some reason seemed to allow the install of Photoshop CS4 trial to execute correctly. The script thankfully left the CS3 installation alone.
I don't know whether the upgrade to 10.6.2 was a required part of the solution or not, but after many, many hours of fighting with this, I can now say that Photoshop CS4 trial now works on the Oct. 2006 vintage MacBook.
And to Adobe I say, please fix your installer so that when I say install, it installs, and forget the trying to be so smart. At least give an option to force overwriting of previous remnants so you can be sure the install has installed everything up to date.
And please give some better error messages, particularly when it doesn't install required parts.

Indesign CS4 keeps crashing on Launch

My copy of CS4 Indesign keeps crashing.
It gets to the window where is shows the recent documents and then crashes everytime.
I have deleted the preferences and the version folder and even re-installed the app from the master dvd but it still crashes on launch.
It was working ok earlier today, which is why I cant understand the problem.
All the other CS4 apps work fine - it's just Indesign.
Im running Mac OS X 10.5.7.
Please help
Thanks

Photoshop CS4 Trial installation asking for disc again and again

I had to uninstall my Creative Suite CS3 because of licensing problems. Then I could not reinstall it on Vista Home Premium SP2 ("unsupported OS").
Now, as long as I am waiting for Adobe to respond to my case, I tried to install CS4 Trial versions of PS and DW, so I can go on working.
But:
Whether I install them from a HDD or from a CD/DVD, it always asks me to insert the disc again into the related drive. Of course it is already in - installation has to be aborted.
I am very hesitant to purchase the CS4 upgrade, since it seems that after their huge hassle with the CS3 suite they still haven't their product installation problems fixed.
Anybody had fixed this?
Thanks
Matt

Hi dec9 and the_wine_snob,
Have tried all these too, and went a bit further with copying the folder to the desktop, but it also ended with a fatal.
Since the origin of my trouble is the endless hassle with my CS3 Suite installation, I ordered a CS4 Premium Web Trial and see if that installs.
Don't want to risk paying for another uninstallable product.
Before I install that, I will:
- uninstall all Adobe products
- including all flash versions that might still be lingering around
- run the CS3 cleaner
- clean and defrag the drive
- brush my teeth
-... anything else?
Thanks
Matt
