"Error: 3" message when I try to run Flash CS4 Pro

I have Adobe Flash CS4 Pro installed on my Windows 8 OS, and it was working fine for a while, but all of a sudden now I get a generic error message when I try to launch the application. It gives me an "error: 3" status and tells me to restart (which I have done several times) and otherwise to contact Adobe Support, who won't help me because it's not a "current version." I have also tried to "Run As Admin."
Very frustrated.

Many people have had problems when they upgraded to Win8 on a machine with an existing Adobe CS installation. (Works better on a clean Win8 machine.) This could be why you're not seeing it in Add/Remove.
Is your Flash Pro part of a CS Suite, or just a stand-alone? If part of a Suite, look for the Adobe Creative Suite listing in Add/Remove. A complete un-installation, and removal of all Adobe products, files, and folders from your machine, followed by a re-installation, might help.
Also, Flash Pro CS4 apparently installs and uses an older version of the Flash Player (10.xx), which might create conflicts with the Flash Player's current version (11.8.800.94). Make sure to uninstall Flash Player completely before attempting CS4 Flash Pro re-installation. I got an error message upon installation, but Flash Pro still works (though I uninstalled the older version of Flash Player, so the built-in de-bugger may not function).
You are correct: Adobe Support is generally useless, even when you have the current product. Forums and searches are usually your only recourse.

  • Error:  148:3 when I try to run PPro CS4

    Trying to open PPro CS4.  Won't run & I get "Error: 148:3".  This happened at the same time I had to reauthorize WinXP  (can't figure out why I had to do that).  Yes, it's an older system, but it does exactly what we want.  Upgrading would not be cost effective for what we are now doing.  I need to get this running ASAP.  Or find a quality but inexpensive way to capture analog video to AVI without sync problems.  Thank you all!

  • I am getting a "Internal error occurred" message when I try to drag and drop common library items on to my canvas.

    Hi,
    I am getting a "Internal error occurred" message when I try to drag and drop common library items on to my canvas.
    I have noticed that there are a number of these error messages and tried one solution of renaming a couple of files, I tried this and no joy.
    Has any one go a solution for this before I purchase Fireworks please?
    Kind regards,
    Dave G

    I can no longer get Firework CS6 to run - The program loads but without any toolbars/properties etc.  It just has an 'AN INTERNAL ERROR OCCURRED' message that cannot be dismissed.  The only way to close the program is via Task Manager (this is on a Window 8 PC).  I have uninstalled the program, rebooted the PC and re-installed (several times) but it has not resolved the problem.
    Fireworks is part of my Creative Cloud subscription and when reporting this via the live chat I was given the telephone number for Seagate Drives ??
    Anybody got a solution?
    Or, does anybody know how to open native Fireworks CS6 png files in Photoshop *but* with all the Fireworks layers preserved.
    Think I'll also post this as a new topic as the problem is slightly different to SirBasher's issue.

    Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
    Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
    Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

  • Specific Error Message When I Try To Run Safari From Win XP Pro

    This is the error message that I get when I try to run Safari from my Win XP Pro computer.
    *Visual Studio Just In Time Debugger*
    *An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in Safari.exe [1288]. Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has Just-In-Time debugging enabled. In Visual Studio, Just-In-Time debugging can be enabled from Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time.*

  • Error 1097 occurs when i try to run my vi

    hi,
    i am trying to run two stepper motors simultaneously using a joystick.. i was able to do the same without any problems until i defined a threshold and sensor in order to limit the stepper motor motion.. what i wanted to do is when the value of sensor surpasses the threshold value the motor should stop. but when i try to run the vi it gives me a 1097 error at the call library function node.. i am unable to figure out the cause for that error since it occurs only when i attach the sensor and threshold formula node.
    i am using labview 8.2, MID 7602, PCI 7344
    for reference i am hereby attaching both VIs..
    steppermotor1.vi works fine.. steppermotor2.vi does not.. i would appreciate if someone could help me out with the issue..
    thanks,
     vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    I have tried running the code that you attached on my machine, and was unable to reproduce any error.  I notice that you have a Call Library Function node in your code, but there is also one in each of the motion subVIs that are called in the VI.  It is possible that the error is happening at one of those.  You could try placing motion error handlers at the end of each of the motion calls.  You can find this by going to the Vision and Motion»NI-Motion»Error and Utility Palette.  Placing this error handler here might help determine if the error is ocurring in one of the motion VIs or not.

  • Why am i seeing the Error 21 message when i try to restore my iPhone 4?

    My iPhone 4 wasn't charging so I had the battery changed and then the charging unit. Then the Apple sign just kept flashing on and off when I plugged it in to charge so I put it into restore mode. But every time I try and restore it in iTunes I get the Error 21 message, I have tried endless suggestions such as updating iTunes, trying to put the phone into DFU mode, disabling security software, and others I now can't recall as it has all sent my head quite fuzzy during this 4-hour ordeal! But nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    first try a different usb cable, remove all other usb devices, and try a different port in back on desktops if possible.  if no luck see these
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • After downloadeding the latest Java plugin, I start to receive "Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem" message when I try to run a download wizard. What do I need to do? BTW, IE does not have this problem.

    I had no problem using a download wizard Java applet to download file to my computer from an SFTP site using Firefox. When I tried to do the same thing with Chrome, I was told to download the latest plugin. Once I did that, I receive the following message when I run the downlaod wizard:
    The Java Wizard cannot run.
    Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem.
    I got the same message using Firefox and Chrome. However, I have no problem using IE to run the same download wizzard. Please help.

    If the problem is with a site that is hosted using MOVEit DMZ by Ipswitch, please notify the site owner of the issue and ask them to apply the patch that is available on the support site to resolve the issue.
    This is a better resolution than downgrading your version of Java that was updated due to security issues.

  • Why do I get Error-2201​1 when I try to run a HW Watchdog Timer vi?

    I am trying to use the HW watchdog timer vi's on the RT functions palette (Watchdog Configure.vi and Watchdog Clear.vi). Error-22011 is generated when Watchdog Open.vi is called (a subvi to Watchdog Configure.vi).
    "Explain Error" gives this result:
    "NI-Watchdog: The watchdog hardware you requested is already in use, or has been permanently locked."
    I get this error every time I execute Watchdog Configure.vi even if the host computer and network controller have just been rebooted. There is no place to specify or lock/unlock the hardware (that I can find). I'm using Windows XP, LV8.5, and the FP2010 controller.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    pmac

    Yes, I have NI-Watchdog  2.1.5 installed on my FP.
    In fact, I figured out what the Error-22011 problem was all about and I'm almost too embarrassed to say. I had Watchdog Configure.vi inside a while loop... so only the first iteration would be error free and for every iteration after that, the hardware would be "already in use". Hence, Error-22011.
    I've made it over that hurdle, but I'm still having problems.
    Now,I have both Watchdog Configure.vi and Watchdog Clear.vi outside the while loop and I put Watchdog Whack.vi inside the while loop (mainly to monitor the watchdog status output). I also wired the occurrence output of Watchdog Configure.vi to a second while loop in which there is a wait for occurrence.vi wired to a boolean indicator.
    If I disconnect the ethernet cable while this vi is running, the program pauses and I get a Labview generated message informing me of a lost connection however, there is no occurrence generated and the watchdog stays in "running" status.
    Apparently, I've misunderstood how to implement the watchdog vi's and I'll need someone to set me straight.
    Is there anyone who can help?
    Thanks,
    pmac
