I had to reinstall Abode CS3 Web Premium. Why is Acrobat 8 closing after a few seconds on Mac Os X 10.6.8, when it used to perform perfectly?

I've searched through the web and this seems to be a recurrent problem that affects various versions of Acrobat. I've reinstalled Adobe Web Premium after a clean re-installation of Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Acrobat 8 used to work fine, but now it closes after a few seconds - no crash, just closes. I tried to clear the preferences folder and I had to introduce the serial number again. When I re-entered it, it says it's not a valid number, although the number works fine on Photoshop.
How can I solve this?
Thank you

  • Bridge CS3 Crashes upon start-up...after a few seconds

    Was working fine....then suddenly crashes upon start-up either from within PS (browse) or from launching it.  Same error message.  Reloaded photoshop software, restarted...same problem.  Tried resetting preferences (clicked all three reset boxes).  No change.  Did not add or mod any software that I know of.  Running Vista.  Has been working fine up until a couple days ago.  Any help suggestions?

    That is very odd that Bridge still crashes after reseting the preferences. That ususlly does the trick.
    Do you use just central or distributed cache (export cqche to folder)?  Purging the cache does not do anything to the distributed cache.  You have to do that manually acording to the adobe document.
    Might want to read the adobe document on reseting preferences.
    If you look at the photo folders that you were last working on with Windows Explorer do you see any thumbnails that don't display, or any other odd thing that might indicate a corrupt file?

  • Web page loads and then disappears after a few seconds

    I have been visiting the More magazine website (www.moremagazine.co.uk ) for some time. However in the last week or so when I click on a link in the e mail I get from them the page loads as usual, stays for a few seconds and then disappears - only a blank page remains.. Even if I refresh I still get a blank page. If I type the URL in manually I just get a blank page immediately.

    Anyone solve this yet?

  • CS3 Web Premium is missing pieces + crazzzy updater

    Hello, I just got my CS3 Web Premium.
    No demos installed on my machine before it, so it's all brand new (new computer too).
    I ran the DVD, and the installer said there were problems. It said VersionCue had not been installed.
    I tried the suite, it seemed to work.
    But...
    -There was no Adobe Bridge. I tried to evoke it from the apps, no way. It isn't anywhere, not even a folder on the computer.
    -Also Photo Pack wasn't there: the icon is in Applications Folder, but double-click and nothing is launched.
    -And then, this crazy Adobe Udpater. It's just a message that pops up every single time I open an app from the Suite. It doesn't do anything, doesn't check, connect... no preferences to change, nothing. Just a message and an OK button to send it away.
    I had to put it on the desktop to stop it from driving me crazy.
    I then uninstalled (following carefully the instructions from the Adobe Support site to perform a clean uninstall), and re-installed. This time, no error message...
    But same situation. No Bridge. No Photo Pack. And crazy Updater still there.
    I wonder how many things can be wrong that I haven't seen yet... !
    Does anyone know what this can be? thank you for the kind attention,
    Josh
    CS3 Web Preminum, MacBook Pro, Leopard.

    Hello to whoever is reading.
    Especially people who have the CS3 Web Premium + Acrobat 9 box.
    I don't know if this is right or not, whether I'm talking nonsense, but here is my experience, exactly as it happened (except it took days :)
    I recently had great problems installing CS3 Web Premium.
    In two words, the installer (a DVD) would NOT install a number of parts.
    It would not install Bridge, Version Cue, StockPhotos. And the Adobe Updater had some very obvious problems too, because it didn't check anything, all it did was pop up every time I opened an app from the suite.
    Basically, I had an incomplete and malfunctioning version of CS3.
    So, after a number of attempts which unfortunately spanned across a few days, including performing a clean un-install as suggested by the Adobe site, and a talk with Adobe Customer Support, who told me I had to install by creating a new admin account on my computer (note: a brand new MacBookPro, very unlikely that it would have any seriously bad configuration problems), here is where the unexpected solution popped up.
    The fourth time I re-installed, and before going through installing with a different admin, as Support suggested, I tried something I hadn't tried the previous times. Just for the heck of it.
    I DID NOT follow the instructions that came in the box that said to uncheck the installation of Acrobat 8. The note said you had to do that with the Acrobat 9 DVD installer, but later.
    This time, I just let CS3 install with Acrobat 8 as it would by default.
    And, hey! It installed perfectly! All components, and all working as should.
    Now... I don't know if it's coincidence, if I missed out on noticing something else.
    I'm am illustrator and cartoonist, so I know NOTHING about installers and the sort.
    I'm not assuming this is a bug. This is just what happened to me.
    So if anybody out there is experiencing the same frustrating thing, well, what the... it's worth the try, ain't it?
    Try it... let CS3 install WITH Acrobat 8, and maybe it'll go smooth.
    It did for me.
    Bye, best, & hope this was useful.

    In case anyone is still interested in this thread.  I called Adobe tech support and they were able to help me finally get CS3 installed.  The steps I took were kind of messed up because I'd try something and it still wouldn't work and then I'd try something else.  But I think the following was the magic combination that finally worked.  I don't know if this would help anyone else but it worked for me...
    I uninstalled all the previously installed CS3 components.  In fact, I uninstalled everything that started with the word "Adobe" on my computer, even Flash Player, just for good measure.
    Then I ran the Adobe cleanup script at level 2
    I downloaded the script from here...
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    I went into the "computer" window and set it up to show hidden folders.  Click Organize->Folder and Search Options->View. Then click "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
    Then I went into C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Adobe and moved all the files in there to a folder on my desktop so there was nothing left in the Adobe folder (I don't think it wouldn't let me move some of the Acrobat files so the tech support guy said to just leave them)
    I did the same thing for C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe and moved all those files to a folder on my desktop
    Then I deleted all the files from C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roadming\Adobe
    I think I ran the cleanup script one more time just for the heck of it.
    Next I went to the start menu and on the "Start Search" line I typed "msconfig."  When the system configuration window came up, I went to the "services" tab and checked "Hide All Microsoft Services"  Then I checked "Disable All"  So that disabled everything that wasn't a MicroSoft service.  Then I went to the "Startup" tab and checked "Disable All" and restarted the computer.
    Then I went ahead and installed everything fresh off the CS3 DVD and it worked the first time.  No more 1310 errors with the Config.Msi directory.
    Hope this helps someone else.
    Good luck!

  • Hard drive died.  Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Hard drive died.  Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

  • Help Reinstalling CS3 Web Premium

    I need to get CS3 Web Premium installed on my new laptop (Vista Business SP1).
    I originally bought CS2 Premium, which I had installed on my old laptop. I then upgraded to CS3 Web Premium. I have the feeling I opted for a trial and then an update, which I paid for. I do now have a CS3 Web Premium box, but it doesn't contain any disks and I can't see a serial number on it.
    Can you tell me whether I should have disks and a serial number for the upgrade I purchased???
    When I attempt to install CS2 Premium on my new laptop from my disks and with my licence code, the licence code isn't recognised. So, what do I do about this?
    Then, how am I supposed to get the upgrade to CS3 Web Premium done??? (Seeing that I don't seem to have disks or serial code - I don't think I lost them, I just think I never had them).
    I can prove all the purchases I have made. It would be easiest if Adobe could just provide a CS3 Web Premium download for me with a new serial code.
    Please could someone help me.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Get in touch with Adobe Customer Service, if your software is registered then they will be able to retrieve your serial number and send you the links for the software, if not then they probably can provide you new serial number if you have valid proof of purchase.

  • Error 1335: file corrupted Media.cab (CS3 Web Premium)

    ING
    Hello,
    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and am having trouble reinstalling the applications.
    I had to remove them from my switch and when I reinstall the error 1335 appears corrupted file, in case Media.cab, I saw my media and is a risk with it, but do not know whether this risk is due. I wonder if someone had the same problem, it failed to respond or if you can put the Media.cab of CS3 Web Premium for me to download.
    Have I contacted the media in Brazil, but the clerk informed me that they do not give more support for this product and that I should contact the forum to try to solve.
    (Note: Sorry my English, translated on the Web)

    Olá,
    Tenho o Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium e estou tendo problemas em reinstalar os aplicativos.
    Tive que remover eles do meu comutador e quando fui reinstalar aparece o Erro 1335 de arquivo corrompido, no caso Media.cab, estive vendo minha mídia e está com um risco nela, porém não sei se é decorrente deste risco. Gostaria de saber se alguém teve o mesmo problema, se conseguiu responder ou se consegue colocar o Media.cab do CS3 Web Premium para eu baixar.
    Já entrei em contato com o suporte no Brasil, porém a atendente me informou que não dão mais suporte a este produto e que eu deveria entrar em contato pelo fórum para tentar resolver.

    I am installing a brand new MacPro with OS X 10.5.2. It is a machine upgrade for the user so all of her previous user files were also transferred during the setup. Two days ago we got our new CS3 site license upgrade discs and I was using it to install a fresh copy of CS3 Standard. We had a 5 user license disc that we were using to test before deploying CS3 to the users so we know that we can install from that disc, unfortunately it is a CS3 Premium disc and a different serial number.
    Also of note, once the setup.app crashes (actually it never really launches) other apps, like Safari also will no longer launch. I have repaired disk permissions and the next thing I will try is installing as another user, but it looks like you guys have already tried that.
    Any help would be wonderful, this user returns from vacation on Monday!

  • Unable to resolve installation error for Adobe CS3 Web Premium despite referring to given solution

    Hi,
    I own a copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium from a few years ago that was bundled with my Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 on Windows Vista.  I wish to install the CS3 Web Premium onto my Acer Aspire X3990 desktop that is running on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on 64-bit operating system type. However, the installer prompts the following error: "This software cannot be installed because JScript is not properly registered. Please repair JScript and then restart the installer".
    Checking with Adobe website, I came across the following support page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-2739-installer-closes-cs3.html
    whereby it says the solution is to manually register the jscript.dll file. I followed the procedure exactly for that of 64-bit system, but then the following new error pops up when I enter in "regsvr32 jscript.dll" onto Administrator: Command Prompt on C:\Windows\SysWow64 : "The module "jscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005. For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term."
    One thing I note is that on the Adobe web link, the operating system mentioned is Vista, while I am currently running Windows 7.
    Please help, as the few solutions I found on Google search are mostly repeated calls to ensure that the command prompt is run at Administrator level, which I already am doing so. I need something more than telling me what I had already done but not resolved.
    I am asking the same question in parallel to the Microsoft Community page as well, as I do not know where exactly the issue lies with. I hope both sides can give a clear resolution.
    I really need help in enabling me to use Adobe CS3 again, as my Fujitsu laptop that ran it without problems had since died off already.

  • CS3 Web Premium Setup.app crashing on launch

    Trying to install CS3 Web Premium on a Mac intel w 10.5.2 and I cannot get the installer to launch. It did not auto run as the instructions indicated and there was no Setup MacOS file that I could find on the dvd, but I did find Setup.app. Launching this fails almost instantly with an error:
    [0x0-0x16016].Setup[241]: /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp[241] Launch failed with error code -2857 (cfragCFragRsrcErr) for application /Volumes/Adobe CS3 Web Premium/Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup
    The installer does not leave a log file in either Library or that is accessible via the Console. I've tried installing from a different admin account and also as root. Same result in both cases. I also attempted to run the actual Setup executable that is within the Setup.app bundle via Terminal and was told "cannot execute binary file".
    Thinking i might have had some previous adobe junk, i've also run the adobe clean up script at level 4. No effect on the crashing installer.
    Any ideas?

  • Unable to install CS3 Web Premium on Vista

    I recently purchased CS3 Web Premium. When I try to install it, it fails. The message I get is - Error 1310.Error writing to file
    C:\Config.Msi\43361.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I am running on Vista Home Premium - Service Pack 1.
    I turned off User Account Control and I have reset the ownership and permissions for the ProgramData folder as directed in the forum.
    Still can't load the software.  One thing I find strange about this message is that I don't have a Config.Msi folder.  I even tried creating one but that didn't help either.
    Please help!

    I still have not been able to get this resolved completely. However, I have been able to get the error 1013 from popping up.
    I had originally started off doing these steps from Adobe's site : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html however I had no luck with any of the 3 solutions. I then found this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/ and this seemed to have taken the error 1013 from popping up.
    However, now when I go to intall it...it will run through the whole installation process which takes 30 mins!!! To only tell me that all the programs were unable to install and to finish. I thought I was getting somewhere with this and then another road block. I can't believe I've now spent 2 days on this going on three.
    I also had downloaded some scan program that states they can get Adobe Software installed and take away the errors by cleaning my system. Wait I'm confused here because my system is BRAND NEW. This program also cost like 40 bucks. I had contacted them wondering how on earth they can claim such a thing on a brand new computer...and that there "scan" had shown my brand new laptop with thousands of errors!!! ???? !!!! They only answered that I needed to buy their software to find out...obviously skipping that option.
    So this is my last solution to try to fix the problem...I'm running it right now with like 12 games up and running so we'll see if Speed is the problem. here's the link on that topic. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=C%3A\Config.Msi&page=1&qsrc=2417&ab=2&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vistax64 .com%2Fvista-general%2F187289-c-config-msi-problem.html
    Last resort will to call support but after reading all the forums I'm dreading the sound of it...someone had spent 6 hours on the phone with not results only to have NO working programs instead of the pre-version they had in working order. Also I'm not sure that I'll be getting any help...it sounds that you need the most recent version.
    If this does not work...I'm seriously considering sending back my brand new laptop back in that it was the ONLY reason why I bought the thing was to be able to work while I was away from home. Apparently, I won't be able to do so...or buy a whole new program or license which to me sound rediculous in that I've spent just like everyone else on here the amount for the software and was told that I could have it installed on two computers as long as they were not being used at the same time. Understood but not seem to be working out that way.

  • Unable to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium on Leopard

    Everytime I try to install Adobe CS3 Web Premium I get the error message something like "Unable to install. Your file system is not supported". I formatted my system drive with hfs case-sensitive, could this be the problem.

    I don't know if this as anything to do with it but on Tiger, CS3 didn't install if Safari 3 was installed. Nor dit it uninstall. I had to remove Safari 3 to install or uninstall CS3.
    I know that you can't easily remove Safari 3 from Leopard.
    Just a thought

  • Needed: download for CS3 Web Premium

    We have a valid key for Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and I need to find a download link for the software. However thats where things get interesting apparently. Whoever downloaded the software originally didn't seem to keep the installer (Probably reasoning back then that they could redownload it any time.)
    After some hunting I had downloaded the software linked from http://prodesigntools.com - which I'd found on the forums here. However after trying to activate the software and discussing the problem with Adobe support, I've been informed that apparently the key was purchased as a volume licensing key and that there are separate installers for regular retail keys and volume license keys. As such the software I have will not work. I am urgently seeking a download for Adobe CS3 Web Premium that will work with volume license keys

  • Serial number issue for Acrobat in CS3 Web premium education edition.

    Hi everybody. If anyone can help me on this issue, I would really appreciate it. So far, customer support hasn't been very useful. So here is the issue.
    I bought CS3 Web Premium for my 2.16ghz macbook and it was purchased through apple. Anyway, it came with the main disc to install all the applications of cs3 and another disc to install acrobat 9. The way an education edition works is that I don't receive an actual serial number. I receive a product number which I have to enter, along with my info and proof of eligibility on this website called myidentit-e.com When this was all said and done, I received an email that contained a serial number. This serial number worked on all of the regular cs3 applications but not on acrobat 9. There was no other product code included and the directions inside the case said that I should be able to use the same serial number for both the regular cs3 and acrobat 9. Customer service's suggestion was to call apple since I bought it from them but what would they know about that? Adobe seals the products and I'm assuming that Apple is only a reseller.
    Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

    We've also had this problem. It looks like neither Adobe, My Identit-e nor Adobe will take responsibility for fixing this. All CS3 programs work except for Acrobat, which won't accept the serial number.
    Support requests to adobe have resulted in our request simply being "closed" without any actual response from the company.
    Has anyone had any luck with obtaining help from any of these companies? Any advice is appreciated.

  • Want to upgrade to PS CS5 from CS3 Web Premium

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop CS3 that was part of CS3 Web Premium Suite to PhotoShop CS5 Extended. I do not want to upgrade the entire suite. Is this possible? Jack Davis said I should be able to. I just want to make sure. The Adobe website says I cannot. I think that is a marketing ploy... Can someone please help?

    I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception.  It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR.  I did have these options with CS3.
