Help! DW8 won't load after Windows reinstall

A couple of days ago I was obliged to to reinstall Windows XP
Pro and all of my applications, including Dreamweaver 8. There have
been no other problems, and DW worked fine as usual just after the
reinstall, but since then it has refused to load - the initial
screen comes on but the application window just flashes for a split
second and the program disappears from memory. I've uninstalled and
reinstalled twice and have run a mild registry cleaning utility
with no effect. What could this be, and how can I fix it? I rely on
DW and use it daily and really need to get it up and running!
Thanks for any advice.

Never mind - on the third try for tech support (was steered
into the wrong queue the first two times and had given up, but
there was no reply on this forum either, so I tried again) I got
through and got help. Problem was that DW8 needed to have an update
applied, but the updater was looking for it on the Macromedia site
rather than the Adobe site. The registry key needed to be cleared
and the update downloaded and installed. All is well now.

  • Vista won't load after Windows Update; HD failure message on Presario A945US

    Long story short: Had issues with Windows Update (would not download/install properly), then one day last week, system restarted and now Windows will not load. Safe mode, normal mode, recovery mode all do not work - they just result in a black or blue screen with a visible cursor. To make matters worse, booted in startup check mode and performed a hard drive test which resulted in the following message: "failed - replace hard disk 1 (warranty TD - error code 10008).

  • Lightroom 5 won't load after 30 day trial of Lightroom3 error.

    I tried the 30 day trial of Lightroom 3 that I got with the Photoshop Elements 10 when I got my new computer.  The Lightroom loaded one picture and said I had an error and would try to find a solution.  I bought Lightroom5  and tried to install it and it keeps going back to the error of Lightroom 3 trial.  I tried to delete all programs associated with Lightroom and reinstall, but nothing happens.

    it just reads "Lightroom-Opening Catalog:New Years Day 2014 031.JPG.Ircat   assertion failed!
    New Years day 2014 is a folder and 031 is the picture in the folder that I tried to enhance in the 30 day free trial of Lightroom 3.  I bought Lightroom 5 from B &H and it appears to be hung up on the Lightroom 3 trial.

    My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

    Yes, I tried that (thanks for the suggestion, though!). In my music app, when I click on certain songs, the screen moves to try to start the song, but then it bounces back to the menu screen without playing the song. On many albums, when I click on the first song, a song about halfway through the album will start to play rather than that first song. My other apps seems to be fixed, but not the music function.

  • ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

    iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

    Hello Aristoph,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues. If you follow the directions in order it may help:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Photo descriptions disappeared after update to iPhoto 11 and the help file won't load, BBOD, Photo descriptions disappeared after update to iPhoto 11 and the help file won't load, BBOD

    Event titles remain, but why did the individual photo titles change into numbers after an upgrade to iPhoto 11?
    Why does clicking the iPhoto Help button pop open a new window and promptly invoke the beach ball of death which remains even with iPhoto closed but stops when the App Store app is closed?

    When you installed iPhoto 11 did you create a new library and import your old library into it? If so that was not the way to upgrade the library.  The correct way is to just open your old library with the new iPhoto application and let the application upgrade the library.
    If efforts to repair the corrupted library fail you may have to start over with a new library as follows:
    Start over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1.  Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    Click to view full size
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Origianls (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    Click to view full size
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    The Help file issue might be corrected by running BatChmod on the iPhoto application with the settings shown in this screenshot.

  • ITunes Won't Load on Windows 7

    ITunes won't load since the last update.  I tried updating to the new beta version, and it still won't load.  I have lost my contacts on my iPhone and now I can't load iTunes.  I do have another computer running an older version of iTunes and would like to transfer my contacts file to the older computer and then sync my iPhone to that computer.  Can someone please help me with transfering my contacts file to the other computer?  It would be nice if iTunes would load on this computer, the one I use all the time but it seems this problem is not being addressed.  Do Apple personnel only address these problems if you pay them for support, or do they fix their software and help their customers?  Here is the error message I get, and as you can see, iTunes is not loading, just giving the error message:
    The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 basic.
    Program: iTunes
    Publisher: Apple Inc.
    Process Identifier (PID): 4652
    Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running.
    iTunes never starts after this message.  I've checked Windows Task Manager to see what programs are running.  I've tried using the iTune comaptibility option but that didn't change anything.  iTunes has always worked, now nothing.  Nothing happens when I plug in my iPhone, or when I start iTunes.  I just want my contacts, that's all!!!  I had always thought I was safe because I always backed up my phone -- boy was i wrong. 

    It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
    many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
    [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
    This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
    if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

  • E51 Driver won't install after XP reinstall

    I have been using my E51 with PC Suite 6.86.9.3 on XPSP2 for several months and all was fine. I had need to reinstall XP using the "Upgrade" option - i.e. keeping all your applications and settings.
    After the reinstall, the E51 will not load. It says:
    "Nokia E51 USB Phone Parent - An error occurred during the installation of this device - Fatal error duing installation"
    I have, of course, removed all the drivers by hand (wdfcoinstaller01005.dll nmwcdcocls.dll, ccdcmd.sys etc), cleaned the registry, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled PC Suite, located the correct inf file (oem31.inf in my case), tried automatic driver install, manual driver install etc etc and after several hours work trying various combinations of the above, still the same message whenever I update the driver for the phone.
    Has anyone had this before? I don't want to do a clean install of XP and reinstall all my apps, but I might have to.

    Fixed - this message helps!

  • IBook G4 won't load after latest security update, repair doesn't work?

    Hi I had the same problem as someone else in this forum:
    "Last night I saw that my ibook G4 wanted to do a security update. I told it to do it, and the ibook has not started since. It reset itself after downloaded, but it just stays on the booting up screen, never actually booting up so I can use it. After about two hours of trying to boot up, I turned it off, and on again, and it still wont boot.
    I really need suggestions as how I can fix it. Thanks

    HI,
    Ok... you need to boot from your install disk.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    If you have the original hard drive in this iBook, it was probably a 60GB drive? When you can do this, check to see how much available disk space there is.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
    Carolyn "
    I tried restarting it after the repair (there were some things to repair and I tried to repair twice just to make sure it didn't miss anything) but it still won't load. It says its starting the OX system, but when the blue bar reaches the end, it doesn't do anything from there. I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. My mousepad still lets me move around the mouse, the caps lock key still lights up, as the num lock key. I tried safe mode but that won't load either...any other suggestions?

    *" I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. "*
    Your iBook needs to go in for repairs.
