Error Message on Launch

After installing the latest version of AE (10.0.1) on my Mac Pro (OS 10.6.6 [a totally clean erase and install this week], 32g RAM, 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeons with 6T of internal disk space), upon launching the software, I get this error message during the splash screen when "scripting" appears in the splash screen, before the app opens:
After Effects error: invalid DICT array size ( 83 :: 2 )
I click on OK and the error message goes away, and AE seems to run, but I don't want a giant surprise one day when the whole system goes up in smoke because something is really wrong.
I've uninstalled and re-installed 3x. I've rebooted multiple times. I've found this exact error message mentioned in a google search, but one is written in Russian (I think) and the other in French.
I have Photoshop Extended from CS4 and the web apps from CS3 on the same machine.
Your help would be appreciated.

That error message doesn't tell much all by itself. It says that one of a somewhat broad set of components has returned an invalid value, and that's it.
You say that everything seems to be running OK?
Try this: Try importing a PSD file. The reason that I suggest that is that one of the components that uses the kind of code that could return that message is the library that After Effects uses to load and render Photoshop items.
It's pretty late on a Friday evening, and Monday is a holiday, so I don't know how much useful troubleshooting we're going to get accomplished right away. Please do report back on this thread if the application fails in some way beyond this error message. If there's a specific failure, then we'll have more to go on.
BTW, since you're new to After Effects, I strongly recommend starting here, where there are lots of free materials for learning the basics:

Uninstalled Old PS Versions - Now Get "One Or More File. . .etc" Error Message When Launching PS CC

I just unistalled PS C3 through 6 on my computer leaving only PS CC for use going forward. Having done this I now get this error message when launching PS CC: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop." The thing is PS CC still appears to be working okay once that error message is cleared. How can I get rid of that error message? I can't reinstall using the CC Updater because it still sees PS CC on the system thus it won't install another copy. I'd just as soon not uninstall it and I'm not sure that would fix the issue anyway.
Any ideas?

Hi jpolster,
You can uninstall PS CC through the Control Panel in windows/Utilities in MAC & the reinstall PS CC.
Thanks

Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button. Also get error message on launch: An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files: System Library/Application Support/Adobe. Any ideas? I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro. This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for attempting to help. I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem. Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem. I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom. The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery. Only a few days left on my trial version! I hope I have time to try it out!

Because the .desktop file is part of the upstream source, it's always created as part of the build procedure.
I did not mean "what is the direct cause of the icon". I meant "why did the maintainers choose to include the icon when there is no GUI application to link it to" (see below).
I don't see why there is an issue with these optional dependencies at all, the deluge wiki page is perfectly clear on the subject.
The issue is that a broken `.desktop` file is being added. The fact of the matter is that if both Deluge and some window manager have been installed, `pygtk` should become a mandatory dependency. Unfortunately, pacman is not capable of that kind of reasoning.
See an earlier post of mine for some more general problems I have with the pacman dependency system.

Missing MSVCR71.dll Error Message During Launch

I just wanted to pass along an error message that I have found the solution to and have passed onto Adobe through the bug submission process.
I have discovered a QuickTime Component that causes Adobe Encore CS5 to give an error message during launch. The Error message states “The file MSVCR71.dll could not be found. Please reinstall Adobe Encore to resolve the problem” (Well, it is something really close to that. I did not write down the error message before fixing the problem). There is an “OK” button below the message to continue loading Adobe Encore.
The error message is only displayed if all other CS5 programs are closed. During my findings, I discovered that if you open Adobe Encore CS5 through Premiere Pro CS5 or After Effects CS5 by using Dynamic Link, the error message will not be displayed.
The QuickTime Component that causes the error message is “XiphQT”, which is used to play Xiph formats in any QuickTime based application. The Component can be located here: http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/
When installing the latest version of the program “Juicer” from digital juice, the QuickTime Component is installed. Juicer will run without the Component, but gives a message that it is missing. I have removed the Component since I use Encore to a much greater extent.
To remove the XiphQT Component from QuickTime, you must remove it manually because when QuickTime is uninstalled, the Component is left behind and will be a part of future installations of QuickTime.
While the error message displayed during the launch of Adobe Encore CS5 is not detrimental, it can be frustrating, so I hope this may help others that receive the error message from above. I should also note that I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

Greetings,
My solution was attributable to my firewall (Microsoft Defender) blocking TCP connections to QuckTime. Here's the steps that resolved my problems on CS5, Windows 7, 64 bit:
Control Panel
Windows Firewall
Advanced Settings
Outbound Rules
New Rule...
Program/Next
This program path: (use Windows Explorer to search)
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\msvcr71.dll
Allow the connection
(Leave checks Domain, Private, Public)/Next
Name Description: (whatever you like - will display at top of Windows Firewall Advanced Security Outbound Rules)
Good luck, Michael

Getting "could not initialize photoshop" error message on launch.

I'm getting this error message when launching Photoshop CC.. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. I'm not sure if I updated before I had this problem initially, but I'm getting the same message on launch of the newly installed PHotoshop. I'm running Mavericks on a MacBook Pro.
Help?!

Can you confirm that this is Photoshop 7? The version that dates back to 2002?
What operating system are you using? It sounds like a reasonably up to date computer, and I am not sure if Photoshop 7 would even run on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
You have all sorts of issues if it is Photoshop 7. Being 32 bit, it won't be able to access most of your 8Gb — probably more like 2.5Gb. It might also have problems with large HDDs. Hmmm.... just read your post again, and I see you have a 1.5Tb boot drive. I have a strong feeling Windows 7 would not play nicely with that.
So let's confirm what Photoshop version and operating system you are using before we get carried away.

Error message when launching PowerPivot Window using Excel 2010

I have installed the latest version of Powerpivot on several of our workstations. Some of them are running the application just fine and some of them are getting an intermittent error message when trying to launch the PowerPivot Window.
We are running Windows 7 ENT 32bit with Office 2010 32bit
The error message given is : An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed. If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the drvier file isn't damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by re-installing Microsoft Query.
You can then try again and it will work.
In fact the majority of the time this error message won't appear.
The application has been removed and reinstalled.
When I checked event viewer i'm finding this error which I think is related
The description for Event ID 1 from source MSOLAP$LocalCube cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

MSOLAP$LocalCube cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted.
Hello,
It's just a guess: Power Pivot uses the MSOLAP = "Microsoft OleDB Provider for OLAP" and maybe that Provider is damaged on the machine. You may try to reinstall the Provider, you can get the installer named "SQL_AS_OLEDB.msi" from
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 SP2 Feature Pack =>
ENU\x86\SQL_AS_OLEDB.msi (for 32 bit)

Error message when launching updated iTunes

After updating to iTunes 11, I've been unable to launch iTunes on my computer. (I'm using Windows 7 Home)
When I try to open iTunes, I'm shown an error message that looks like this:
Any idea what could be wrong? I've tried uninstalling iTunes and all its components, re-starting the computer, and re-installing but I still have the same error. Also, I've reparing to no avail.

Try again. Use Control Panel > Add/Remove or Programs & Features to uninstall:
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Bonjour

QuickTime
Reboot, delete the iTunes folders in C:\Program Files and/or C:\Program Files (x86) if they still exist, then reinstall iTunes using an account with administrator rights. Hopefully this time it will work correctly.

Error Message when launching iTunes

I can't launch iTunes anymore - yesterday it worked fine. I get an error message <<iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration>>. I have de-installed and then reinstalled iTunes on my PC but it makes no difference. Any advice? Thanks!

Perhaps this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:

Good luck.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Error message in launching Photoshop Elements 8

I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements 8. After the download is completed, I clicked on the "Launch" button. After a few moments I receive an error message stating, "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privledges on the destination folder."
I initially dowloaded the program on my laptop's C drive. Although I am fairly certin there is plenty of space there, the second time I downloaded the progam, I directed that the software be downloaded to my external drive where there is tons of space. I received the identical message after attempting to Launch.
I have no idea how to check the write privledges on the destination folder.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It seems that the download is not happening fine. Can you please refer the below link and see if that helps in anyway to make sure that download happens successfully?
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400530.html
If not, i am afraid I would have to suggest you to contact the customer care and let them know that you are facing issue with download and try again in say a day or two?

Error message when launch Photoshop CS5

Every time I launch Photoshop CS5, I get the following error message: "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
Re-installing Photoshop does not fix the problem. AFAICT, Photoshop runs normally despite the error message. I presume this message arose because I uninstalled an earlier trial version of Photoshop CS4 before installing CS5 for the first time.
Does anybody have an ideal how to fix this? Is it really a problem? What files should be in the Adobe Application Support folder?
Regards,
Robert

What you could try is to uninstall CS5 and then run the Creative Suite Cleaner tool. Then reinstall CS5.

Get error message when launching iTunes

Do you know what i possibly could do?
:: Kasper Sørensen

let's keep pushing our luck with the Windows troubleshooting techniques ... so far this is proceeding just like a standard PC troubleshoot ...
okay, that's the result that suggests that you've got a problem with the itunes preferences files in your usual XP User Account. there's a different set of preference files in each XP user account, which is why we can get this "crash in one account, launch in another" behavior.
if you've got damaged preference files, we can usually get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the usual account.
quit itunes. log out of the new account and back into the usual account.
find and delete the following two files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
(“<username>” here will be the name of the account you’re having difficulties with.)
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) these will be rebuilt the next time you try to launch itunes in your usual user account.
(the itunes setup assistant will run, you'll be asked to agree to the license again, and so forth.)
after the setup assistant has finished, does itunes finish launching without the crash?

Error message when launching Illustrator CS5

IT deptartment just upgraded my PC to the Adobe Design Standard CS5. Whoohoo! I was working in Illustrator 9. Lots of new stuff to learn.
When I launch Illustrator or double-click on a document worked on earlier in the day, I'm getting an error message dialog box: "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert disk into drive D:"
The dialog box offers the choices of cancel, try again, or continue. No matter which option I try, the dialog box will not close for at least 4-5 attempts. Sometimes the "X" in the upper right corner of the dialog box will close it -- that takes 4 or 5 attempts also. Illustrator will be open, but at the back of my screen.
Any reccomendations for a cure?
Thanks.

Your IT department bunked up and didn't install correctly. It is looking for some files to finish the install. Have them try this again or insert the instal ldisk yourself and let it finish.

Error message when launch ACU

Hi Sir,
I installed ACU 6.4 on my laptop. Whenever I would like to launch ACU, the following message appears
Error message:
You must upgrade your NDIS Driver to use all of the capabilities of this version of ACU!
Attached are the screenshots of the error message and my current ACU status.
Please advise what I should do next.
Thank you.

When you upgrade your client adapter's firmware using ACU, the Automatically Load New Firmware When NDIS Driver Is Updated parameter on the Aironet Client Utility Preferences screen becomes disabled (or unchecked) automatically to prevent the newly loaded firmware from being overwritten by the driver. If you ever want to enable this parameter, you must recheck the check box
