Error message in CS5

Since yesterday I have been getting an error message that reads as follows:
Owl Orphanage: Photoshop. exe  Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because  VCOMP100.DLL was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Closing the error box only works by clicking OK and then Photoshop CS5 boots and everything seems ok.  This looks like a virus message to me and it seems to be just worrisome rather than destructive.  I'm currently running a complete McAfee scan and a Malwarebytes scan.   Any comments?

One gets the same general message with 3rd party plug-ins in After Effects and PrPro. As stated, it is often an installer acting up, and only partially installing all components, but also comes about with a component has been removed, but the link to it still exists. This can happen, when a user does "housecleaning," and deletes a component, that they assume is not needed. It can also happen with some utilities, that do not understand what the component does, and as it is not directly related to an Adobe program, i.e. not installed by the Adobe program, will go "rogue" and delete stuff.
First time I read of it, I though that the user's owls had lost their parents in some horrible mishap. When I found the answer, it was confirmed, at least for me, that Adobe coders DO have a sense of humor. I have never heard how that error message came into being, but would guess that it was after "beer-thirty" was declared...
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Error message encore cs5 end action can't execute on the final chapter point

    Dvd plays great. Exported it as a mpeg 2-dvd,  video only. Audio separate as a .wav. imported video as a timeline, audio as an asset. Video is not transcoded.
    But I have a sub menu, with 6 chapter markers. I check the project and I get this: "error message encore cs5 end action can't execute on the final chapter point"
    Do I need to make a chapter playlist? Because that gave me a "orphaned playlist" error message.
    I selected the last chapter masker and had the end action go to the sub menu.
    Thanks!

    Saw a previous thread where bill hunt said it ignore it and try to burn a copy.

  • Error Message downloading CS5: A problem occurred while extracting the archive..

    After dowloading the CS5 Design Premium, I get an error messagin stating "A problem occurred while extracting the archive. Please try downloading the Adobe CS5 Design Premium again." I repeated this process multiple times to no avail. I am trying to download the CS5 design premium on my new laptop, but don't have the software cds to do this. Thus, I can only download the software but after i download the two files required, that error message appears. (I already have my serial number).

    Hi nickgtr,
    Please try disabling your Antivirus as sometimes it detects the files as virus and removes them while downloading. You can also try downloading after performing Selective Startup.
    Please let us know if it helps.

  • Error messages in CS5 Illustrator

    I just got a new imac and loaded CS5 Design Premium. I opened Illustrator and was trying to open an older vector file  (either .ai or .eps didn't matter) that I had built in CS3. Any file I tried it came up with this same error message...
    Can't open the illustration. Can't print the illustration. Disk full error has occured while it's printing.
    I was only trying to open the file, not print.
    Any suggestions?

    The exact same msg just now! But i was trying to open a bunch of logos I had created yesterday in IllyCS5.
    I nearly freaked out (I don't enjoy redoing 8 hours of work because of a program error), but then I figured, what have I got to lose. I closed Illy and restarted it and hello! now the files open fine.
    Go figure.

  • What is it about InDesign CS5 that someone would get this error message?

    Hi,
    What is is about the .swf file that is generated from the InDesign CS5 interactive workspace that someone would get the following error message when they go to view the site I created?
    "This file may contain newer information that this viewer can support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe suggests that you upgrade to the latest versions of our Acrobat products blah blah blah."
    The site doesn't seem to work for four Mac users, but works fine for at least one PC user.
    I'm trying to figure out how to save the .swf file down to Flash Player 9, which I've done by exporting a .fla file, then adjusting the Publish setting in Flash CS5. But that throws a wrench into the works...all the animations go haywire by continuously looping and the scale of all the text elements on the first page is much larger than it should be.
    Thanks, Steve

    Many of my songs in my iTunes Library no longer play.  I get this error message: "The song xxx could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
    this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
    did you move or delete files in the finder ?
    I cannot locate the song.
    if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
    if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

    Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

    This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
    I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked  OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!
