OnLocation CS3 Trial will not open

I downloaded the 30 day trial of OnLocation CS3 from the Adobe Website v3.0.1101.0).  It installed fine.  When I launch it, the splash screen comes up and then the license screen comes up.  When I hit ACCEPT, the license screen closes and then the splash screen vanishes.  The program will not open.  Any idease?
I have windows XP Pro SP2
AMD Athlon 64 FX57
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
4 gig Corsair TwinX PC3500
Dual Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX (SLI)
Soudblaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro

I'm not sure what's up with the CS3 trial, but since that version of the product is no longer available I recommend installing the CS4 trial (it's bundled with the Premiere Pro installer)

  • InDesign CS3 program will not open - Win XP - after trying to open corrupt file.

    Help! the program Adobe InDesign will not open up anymore.
    Here is the story and what I have tried. One week on the 16th my server crashed two of the three hard drives failed (RAID) I had the two replaced. Since then all seamed to be ok but few of files were missing and some that I tried to open would crash InDesign I assume that the files got corrupt from the HD's going bad. Server kept telling me to run CHKDSK utility. I ran it and and some of the files reappeared. Today, thinking that the Chkdsk utility had fixed the bad files I tried to open one of the files that caused InDesign to crash and it crashed again.
    Now I cannot open InDesign at all when I try to launch InDesign within 3-4 seconds Adobe will crash!  Reboot and try again same thing.
    I tried to delete the files in the Recovery folder thinking it was trying to open the corrupted file that it last tried to open. Same thing.
    I moved the preference folder to the desk top thinking that it might have been causing the problem - no change.
    I reinstalled InDesign over top of the existing program (did not uninstall first) rebooted and tried to launch - no change.
    I tried system restore, None of my restore points that I have tried (auto restore points) will restore my system for what ever reason.
    Please Help with any suggestions I need this fixed soon.

    Installing CS3 was a pain, and the installer is very sensitive to conflict with just about everything under the sun, so you need to run it in a bare-bones boot (but not safe mode). I turn off ALL non essential programs and services using MSConfig when doing a CS3 install.
    That said, yes, running the CS3 clean script will probably remove all things Adobe from the system. The Microsoft utility is much more benign than the description makes it sound -- it removes registry information for previous installations so there is no trace of them to confuse the OS. I'm not aware that it has removed anything other than what it was told to remove, but I've only had to use it once, I think.
    You can try a simple uninstall/reinstall first (and you should be able to remove and reinstall just ID from the suite if you use the original disks). That will certainly be faster and less painful than the clean script, but may not work. Seems odd that a serrver crash should have corrupted a local installation, though, so you might want to take a close look at the machine for other problems, perhaps some sort of malware invasion.

  • CS4 Trial will not open

    I have downloaded the InDesign CS4 trial from the Adobe website, and installed with no problem.
    However it will not open. When I click the application I get the following error message:
    'You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.'
    I've checked the system requirements and sure I have what's needed.
    I'm running OS 10.5.6 on a dual 2GHz Power PC G5 with 1.5Gb memory.
    Any idea what's wrong?

    In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
    I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
    Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

    I downloaded it from the adobe website. Absolutely nothing happens when I try and open it- no error message or anything. I have "Windows 7 Professional" on my computer... what specs do you need? (I am not good at this stuff sorry!)

  • Lightroom 5 (trial) will not open

    I am a Lightroom 3 user who is trying to migrate to a new Win8 computer. I initially tried to get LR3.6 on my new machine but had problems. As LR3 is not supported I've decided to upgrade. I downloaded LR5 onto my new machine using Firefox, went through the installation steps, and appear to have an installed version of LR5 (the shortcut is on my desktop and startup tiles). But when clicking or tapping or right-clicking to open it will not open. Just sits there.
    I have already migrated my photo collection to the new machine, as well as my old 3.6 catalog. I found something about the catalog .lock file on another forum,which said that if that file is still present (it was, right there next to my catalog) LR won't open. I deleted the .lock file but it has not helped, LR5 is still inert. I've also tried re-starting after installing. Any ideas? Is there a setting I'm missing on Win8?
    Thanks in advance.
    Brad
    PS I plan to buy once I get this working.

    I reinstalled LR to the regular 32-bit program folder and it seems to have fixed it.  I have finally been able to open it  There seems to be an issue with the install of the 64-bit version.  I ran the install aagain to try and repair the 64-bit version and it ran through fine but I was still unable to open it after that.  I even DL some rec file for 64-bit version but it did not help. 
    Advice - install to your 32-bit program file until this is corrected....

  • CS6 Trial will not open

  • CS3 Bridge will not open on G5 quad and 10.5.2

    Yesterday I installed 10.5.2 on my MacBook Pro and G5 quad. Once I got all my photoshop updates in order on the MacBook Pro both Photoshop and Bridge appear to work fine.
    However, on my quad, which was up-to-date on Photoshop and Bridge, Bridge will not start up; it merely bounces on the dock for a bit and then even that stops and Bridge never opens up. Photoshop appears to be working fine.
    On a Apple Mac forum it was suggested I look at version cue, but I do not want to go there without asking for more advice. I am afraid to make a big mess out of things.

    Try asking in the Bridge forum.
    Also see if it works in a new user.

  • CS3 file will not open in CS3 after editing in CS6?!?

    Pardon the exclamations but we're creative folks not techies. After editing a CS3 file in CS6 we are unable to open it in CS3. Looks like CS6 will only save back to CS4? So once edited in CS6 then I can no longer use CS3 to work with the files? Can anybody confirm this for me? We also tried to export to IDML but CS3 would not read it.

    When you open an older version of InDesign file within a newer version and edit them, the older version of file is first converted using some required plugins of the newer version of InDesign and then a consolidated new file is generated including the required plugins. Now, if you try to open this newer version of file back in an older version, the older version of InDesign looks for the required plugins used to edit the file and fails because InDesign older version did not use those plugins to create your file.
    Please let me know if that explanation helped understanding why this behavior occurs.

  • Captivate File Created with Trial Will Not Open in Paid for Captivate

    I have a file created by Trial version of captivate. It was created in a different computer. Now, I have to make some modification in the file. However, when I tried to open it with Captivate 5.5, I got the error shown below. I am not able to use the popular solution provided in this link Click here to view   because the file was not created in my computer. I believe that there is a lock on the file since it was created with Trial version of captivate. Is it possible that I send the file to a representative, and they look into it?

    Was the file created with the same version? You talk about 'trial', but the only trial version available at this moment is Captivate 8. You were never able to open a Captivate project in a previous version, that explains why you cannot open it in 5.5.

  • Photoshop CS5 trial will not open - "illegal seek" message

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 installed. The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck in extracting mode, which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting the Adobe Download Assistant dmg and reinstalling it. Since I was not able to open the Photoshop CS5 dmg (I received the illegal seek message), I deleted it. I have tried redownloading the Adobe Download Assistant, but I can't seem to get it out of its extracting state. What do I do? I have tried 2 different internet connections also... since I saw that was recommended on someone else's post that had the same issue.
    Thanks

  • Trial will not open and says it may not work with my Mac OS? Please help

    When I try to open Dreamweaver it says "Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application.
    However my computer says it is up to date and I cannot uninstall Dreamweaver to reinstall it. Also I have used Photoshop and Illustrator on my computer and had no issues.
    Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it?

  • Pages will not open now that I installed it over a trial

    I have been perusing the previous posts, but cannot find the exact problem I am experiencing.
    I entered the serial number when I click "Buy" and all seemed dandy. Problem is, when I try and open Pages, there are no templates under "New", the projects I created when I had the free trial will not open, and there is no Pages help. In short, it seems like it is there, but it's not there.

    When you deleted "everything" did you delete the receipts for Pages & Keynote? When the trial first became available I wrote the user tip that's at the top of this forum, Peggy, "iWork: Can’t install iWork after using the iWork trial", 07:38am May 20, 2005 CDT. It has since been amended, but the original info is in the section "Should the above not work" & details all the pieces that would need to be deleted before reinstalling.
    Peggy
    EDIT: The installer is finding something that you didn't that tells it iWork is installed.

  • Any version of Flash (cs3-cs5) will not publish my file..

    Hi all,
    this is the first time i encounter this problem.. I had the problem where a file would not open correctly which was also addressed at this forum. But this one is different. this file was created (from what i remember) in Flash 8, then opened/saved in all possible flash versions for updates in time.
    While it will open just fine, it will not publish. The publish window with the percentage will open up for a split second, then it will close with no messages whatsoever, no actionscript errors, nothing. F12, the same thing again. No possible settings could solve this. I am willing to send the file for testing of course, have tried to publish using Flash cs4 and Flash cs5. I thought of going back to Flash 8 by opening the file and saving to a previous version but as soon as i open the file in Flash cs3 (while the file has been saved as cs3) it will not open the file with an error message that i cannot remember right now.
    So the problem might lie in how Flash cs3 saved the file, but it will open just fine in cs4 and cs5 so the file is not corrupt in any means..
    any ideas?
    George
    p.s. I tried deleting EVERYTHING off the stage and the library and yet it wont publish.. tried copying all frames on another empty file, couldnt publish either...

  • Illustrator CC 2014 will not open, gets stuck on loading page

    My illustrator CC 2014 trial will not open.
    It gets stck on the following loading page...
    I have re-booted my computer, signed out of creative cloud, done all software updates but still no progress.
    Any suggestions to re-boot my illustrator would be more than welcome!
    Thanks,

    I have given up trying to solve this problem and gone back to Illustrator CC which works just fine.  Every time I try to start up CC 2014, it gets stuck at that screen you see above and each time is is a different font.  Reading fonts...various font name here.  Sometimes it's an English font, sometimes it's an Asian alphabet font of which I have zero use for. 
    Maybe someday someone will figure out the problem and reply here.  Or maybe I just made a suggestion to someone else trying to solve the problem and they'll just go back to CC as well.  Keep paying for CC 2014 and use an old version.  Good one Adobe.
