Fresh CS4 Encore - won't start

Hi,
I have just installed Windows 7 and a fresh install of Master Collection CS4.  Everything is working except Encore.  It starts with the splash screen, but then quickly disappears - gone as if it ended normally - Nothing in the event viewer, no dump, nada.  I've seen multiple threads on this subject, but no solutions.   Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Chris

Everyone is saying there is an issue with Win7, and I have the exact
same problem on two machines, one running XP/32 and the other running Win7/64. In both cases Encore CS4 freezes. Everything else works fine except Encore. Whether I start from shortcut or thru dynamic link I get the same freeze.
Any input would be great
Bill

  • [Solved] Fresh install; HAL won't start?

    So I just finished a fresh installation and now I can't start X because HAL won't start up at all.
    I haven't messed around with anything except for installing everything and fixing up my config files.
    Seems like HAL is crashing because of permissions but I even checked the paths and they seem to be fine:

    Can't find anything worthwhile in logs etc., and I can't think of anything that could be causing this?
    I checked that the HAL user exists and has been added to the default groups, but that "???"-part is alarming.
    DBus starts up normally.
    Networking and "lo" seem to be working fine as well, and I don't have iptables up.

    Ah, haven't been up to date on all the changes, it seems...
    In the past I've had problems with the nvidia driver + Xorg without HAL, I think?
    Anyhow, contrary to the Xorg page, I had no 20-nvidia.conf. I created that and now I'm able to startx without HAL but KDM doesn't work, the screen flickers when it attempts to start Xorg but then it crashes. Strange. Nothing in the Xorg logs either.
    I'll have to see about that next, but it's nice to be able to get rid of HAL at least.

  • Encore won't start after a month of working almost without problems

    Upon startup I get this error message -"The program can't start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."  DO I ACTUALLY HAVE TO REINSTALL CS5 IN ORDER TO USE ENCORE?

    The first thing that I would do would be a Repair Install. Most Adobe programs, and earlier versions of En, allow for this, and it saves a great deal of time. I assume that CS5 has not done away with this.
    In many Adobe programs, one would just go to Help>Repair Install, having their media handy. If this does not appear, then I would inset the media, and it should survey the system, finding all installed programs from that disc. One should then choose the program, Encore in this case, and again it will survey the system, and offer either Uninstall, or Repair Install, which would be the choice here.
    I had to do a Repair Install for the entire CS2 Production Studio (all programs), and it took less than 45 mins. to complete, and most of that was swapping discs into the DVD drive.
    Good luck,

  • CS4 Indesign won't start up (WIN)

    Suddenly I cannot get Indesign to open properly. I get the splash nad it opens three panels (swatches, layers, essentials) but will do nothing else. I get the same results whether I try to open the program from an Indesign icon, from the WIndows start menu, or by clicking on an Indesign file. Everything worked fine last night. I have restarted the computer, but I get the same problem. Illustrator and Photoshop work normally. I'm running CS4 for Windows. Any suggestions?

  • I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

    I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing?  How do I remove and install my own?  I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

    I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
    You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
    If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
    If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
    As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30.  It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps.  It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support.  Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer?  What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

  • AE CS4 Won't Start on Multi-Core System

    I use an older version of After Effects (AE CS4).  I recently built a new workstation that is bootable into different choices of multicore (up to 40 cores).
    I can successfully start AE CS4 on the boot configs up to 16 cores.  But above that, AE CS4 won't start.  It won't even show the splash screen (but the AfterFX_32.exe process does appear in Task Manager).
    Just wondering if there is any way to get AE CS4 to run on configs with more than 16 cores?
    Thanks for any ideas!

    No. There is no way because at the time operating systems did not allow to use more cores and thus the underlying system libraries down to the C/C++ code cannot handle it.

  • Vista won't start after fresh install of LabVIEW & 4G RAM

    Since Vista is such a memory glutton I decided to upgrade my AMD64 box to 4 Gig RAM.  Good idea, no?  Turns out not.  Now Vista won't start.  It locks up at the (lack of) progress bar before the log-in screen.  After much hollerin' and hair pullin' I reinstalled Vista and now it sees 3.25 Gig.  I install updates; everything looks good; I install LabVIEW 8.0 and activate it.  At restart WinDoze Vista won't start.  Now I want to scream.  My Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) partition runs fine and indicates 3.9 Gig RAM. 
    What is LabVIEW installing that has caused this?  Does anybody have a place to start looking?
    Thank You for reading my rantings
    LabVIEW 8.0.1; WinDoze XP
    aut viam inveniam aut faciam

    Well, NI doesn't claim LabVIEW 8.0 is Vista compatible.
    If you did the full install, you probably also installed Device Drivers and such. If you used the ones released with 8.0, they are definitely not Vista compatible.  Those device drivers will try to load during Vista bootup.  If you did, you will need to do a clean uninstall following this procedure.  Download the latest drivers from NI's website and see if that fixes your problem.

  • All of a sudden Photoshop won't start [on a Macbook Air]

    Dear all,
    I'm on a MacBook Air with OS X 10.10.2, and I use Photoshop about once a month, but now I really need it, and it won't start:
    - Immediately after I click on the Photoshop icon I get "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 cannot be opened because of a problem." And when I click on the "Report..." button I get a very technical message (see below).
    - I've used Photoshop on this machine for about a year with no problem, but recently I had a problem and needed to restore from my TimeMachine backup.
    - I don't know if the problem occurred immediately after the restore or not.
    - I've read innumerable threads on various forums, but nothing describes my problem exactly. I suspect a problem with my paths and permissions (since I read a report that restoring from a TimeMachine causes such problems occasionally), but I don't know which path is corrupted/missing/unreadable.
    - I've tried creating a new admin account and starting Photoshop from there. It didn't work.
    - I don't mind reinstalling, but I don't have an installer image. I started with Photoshop 6, then updated to CS2, CS4 and eventually CS5. I do have all the serial numbers but not all update-images.
    I would appreciate any hints on how to further diagnose and some the problem.
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard short cut:
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
    Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color setings will also be reset to default.

  • [SOLVED]amdcccle won't start

    Hi all, before I explain my problem, I have spent the last 6 hours searching google and these forums for the answer, so I apologize if I have missed the solution somewhere.
    Its 1:38pm here in Australia, and since I woke up today I have been trying to install the drivers for my amd 6950 2gb card.
    I "finished" my first ever arch linux install last night, and installed the catalyst and catalyst-utils packages from the unnofficial repositories as I thought they were the newest. They seem to have worked, I am now in xfce4 wm(not as my environment), and everything is working great. However, because my monitor uses hdmi, whenever I do a fresh install of drivers the screen is scaled down by 15%, as this is for some reason a default in the driver. I usually just start amdcccle as root and fix it, but amdcccle won't start.
    tl;dr, amdccle won't start either through terminal or started through xfce app menu. Do I need to reinstall all my drivers or just install the amdccle package. sudo pacman -S amdcccle says "cannot find package".
    I am loving the speed of arch linux so far, not having 100+ apps that I don't use is nice.
    EDIT: sorry, forgot the error:
    amdcccle: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Edit2: Wow, I am tired. I just realized I hadn't installed Qt.
    If an admin/mod wants to delete this thread then go for it, otherwise Ill i leave the solution to the problem here for other new users like myself.
    To fix just run
    pacman -S qt

    I followed wiki for uninstall catalyst, reboot, then clean install of catalyst, reboot, it's the same.
    But I've found a way to make it work : disable lxdm and reboot.
    Then I remove /etc/ati/amdpcsdb at each boot, before running startx. Then I'm able to open amdcccle, check configuration, fglrxinfo gives :
    [jledun@io0 ~]$ fglrxinfo
    display: :0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 8650G
    OpenGL version string: 4.3.12614 Compatibility Profile Context 13.25.18
    If I reboot again, the problem appears again, then I kill X, remove /etc/ati/amdpcsdb again and it works.
    I'm going to see if the problem is the same with razor-qt.

  • Itunes won't start-says it has to shut down

    i started having problems with itunes and downlaoded the new itunes. won't start. in the error report it sayd its a compatability issue. when i send the report to ms though, they claim it to be an itunes problem. i could use a lot of help.

    +when i tried to start quicktime it produced the same message as itunes with a little change to it. in the last part of the code it was 1482appcomp.txt.+
    That problem will be causing the iTunes problem.
    So let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime for a fresh copy.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. Uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?
    (If, however, you get an error message on any of the install or uninstalls, let us know what that message says. Precise text, please. Include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)
