Fireworks Extensions and Vista

In coming here one day, I spotted a link to the kuler
extension for Fireworks CS3. I tried it, but couldn't get it to
work. I had double-clicked on the extension package and the
Extension Manager showed it as being installed, but it didn't show
up in Fireworks anywhere. It's apparently a quirk of Vista.
Rolinstone posted the solution on the:
Fireworks
CS3 kuler Extension Blog
I followed Rolinstone's advice: I navigated to the folder
with the Extension Manager .exe, right-clicked on it, and selected
"Run as administrator." For me, the kuler extension showed as
installed, but disabled. I checked the check box, started
Fireworks, and there it was. I think, if I want to install any
other extensions, I will run the Extension Manager as administrator
from the beginning.
Now, I'm looking forward to experimenting with the kuler
extension!
cheers!

pixlor,
I really like the extension but wish I could login to my
kuler account
from it.
Thanks for the link!

    Download the Fireworks updater from here:

    When you have downloaded and extracted the file right click and then click "run as Adminstrator".
    It should work for you. I had the same issue and did this and everything worked,

  • CS3 extensions and plugins to CS4

    I installed Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Fireworks CS4 on my home computer several months ago.  When I first ran Extension Manager CS4 it migrated all on the CS3 extensions into the new Extension Manager.  But here at my office we just added Adobe eLearning Suite CS4 and the new Extension Manager doesn't seem to recognize that the old CS3 Extension is present.
    Am I missing something, or do I now have to re-install all of my extensions and plugins for Dreamweaver and Photoshop?  This sucks!!!!!!
    My home machine's OS is Vista, the office computer has Windows XP SP3.  Is that the problem?

  • Fireworks CS3 and Win 7

    I just upgraded to Win7 and everything in Fireworks CS3 seems to be working except the brush tool. When trying to paint the cursor is irratic, moves slowing across the picture and I can't control the speed of the brush tool. Is anybody else having this problem and if so do you have a work around?

    This was a problem in Vista and the workaround there is to turn off the Aero theme for Fireworks. (CS3 Bitmap tools and Aero are not happy together.)
    Not sure if Win7 has the same settings, but it should. Try this: go to the Fireworks folder, right-click on Fireworks.exe, and select Properties. If there's a Compatibility tab, first try setting it to "Disable desktop composition." (Mine's also set to run in XP compatibility mode, but maybe I did that first, it wasn't the ticket, and I added the "Disable desktop composition" checkbox.)
    When you start or close Fireworks, your screen might flicker to black as Aero is turned off and on, but otherwise, everything should work okay.

    I can use both with no problems at all and all CS3
    applications do
    support VIsta. You will have to be much more specific about
    what
    problems you are having, error messages, etc.

  • Fireworks Extensions

    Hello, I'm installing NN_transform extension in Fireworks MX
    2004 and I get the message "this extension uses a character set
    that differs from the selected version of Dreamweaver. The
    extension will not be installed" It is supposd to work in any
    MX+
    I have it installed in other machines with Fireworks MX and
    it works...any idea?

    Do you have Fireworks open when you are installing the
    extension? And is
    the Ext. Manager dropdown set to Fireworks?

  • Activity Report download is saved without extension and unreadable

    Hello,
    The Portal Activity Report iView has a button which enables the user to download the report to his PC.
    The problem is that when the user clicks on that button and saves the file it is being saved by this default name: com.sap.portal.activityreport.frontend.DownloadableActivityReport
    The main problem is that it is being saved by default without any extension and after saving the user needs to manually add the .xls suffix.
    Another problem is that once I open the report with Excel The Object Name column is unreadable.
    Is there any way to resolve these issues?
    Roy

    Hi Roy,
    > if it wasn't supported there
    > or you would still consider it as a bug?
    The feature in general of course was supported, but what I cannot say is if it was a known issue that it didn't work correctly. As I dont't use the ActivityReport, I also have no experience if it didn't work at some time and maybe now is working.
    The wrong filename I don't expect to be corrected in the meanwhile, as said, that's a problem in some places. So at least for this you could open an OSS message. And maybe combine this with the problematic column issue.
    But if upgrading to SP18 would be an option for you, maybe you could first test that.
    Hope it helps

  • New problem printing from financial websites - print button sends file to a "cgi" extension and adobe cannot open and print.

    I used to be able to print my bank statements directly from the website to my printer. Now the print program sends the file to a file with a "cgi" extension and saves it on my desktop but as an Adobe file. When i open it to print, Adobe says it is not supported or corrupt. running windows 7 on PC.

    mmsteer,
    I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
    Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
    Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

  • Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same Mac Pro HD?

    Has anyone been able to install both Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit) on the same dedicated Windows hard drive? I have four HD in my Mac Pro, and one of them is dedicated for Windows (and bootable via Boot Camp). I found the following technical articles about installing Windows XP & Vista on the same hard drive (using two separate partitions) using a VMWare machine as the test system:
    http://apcmag.com/howto_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystepguide.htm
    http://apcmag.com/howto_dualboot_vista_with_xp__stepbystep_guide_withscreenshots.htm
    Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP (32-bit) and Vista 64-bit) on the same NTFS partition?
    I already have Windows XP Pro (32-bit) SP3 installed on my single NTFS hard drive. I am looking for the best way to add the Vista 64-bit installation on the same hard drive.
    Any thoughts and advise are appreciated.

    Windows has its own list of boot OSs, and default, from msconfig. It will sit and wait for xx-seconds on startup in Windows if you want to boot from an alternate.
    As to whether Apple's OS Switcher (aka startup disk bootcamp control panel or tray icon) sees both, I had Windows Home Premium and Ultimate 64, and pretty sure OS X saw both. That was pre-Leopard and before there were 64-bit Apple drivers.
    I can't think of any scenerio of wanting to mix 32-bit and 64-bit on the same paritition, you realize you can't install the one over the other and must do a clean install.
    When I added a partition out of main partition (I wanted to put search index and page file on their own partition) those partitions aren't seen - are hidden - to Leopard.

  • I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

    I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

    Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

  • Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

    Hi, everyone.
    When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
    Thank you for your time,
    -Brandon

    Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
    Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3
    http://www.dcgdcreative.com
    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?

  • How do I set up Firefox with the same plugins, extensions and bookmarks on two different PCs?

    I have a PC with Firefox 10.0.2 working happily and I want to reproduce exactly the same experience on my laptop. Both run on Windows 7. I want the samplugins, toolbars, extensions and bookmarks. How do I achieve this?

    Hi,
    You can copy the current [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder] on the PC to the same directory structure on the laptop after installing Firefox on the laptop.
