PS CS3 won't start due to VersionCue.dll missing

UGH! I am so fed up with CS3. I've been running CS3 for quite awhile now, but was recently switched to a new domain on my network. Photoshop CS3 will not open any documents now and instead gives me the error:
The application has failed to start because VersionCue.dll was not found.
VersionCue CS2 is running, which is bizzare because I've got the full CS3 suite. Does anyone have any suggestions outside of having to reinstall CS3?

Versioncue has caused me problem in the past.
I had to reinstall ( no biggie ) and from then on I disable it in PS prefs and Bridge as I never use it anyway.
Never had a problem since.

CS3 Premier Pro Won't Start due to Komplete 5 .dll Loading...

Hi,
I'm running Komplete 5 by Native Instruments on a brand new Quad Core laptop that was built and tweaked by a pro audio company that specializes in configuring machines for musicians. The Win XP Professional system runs very well.
After installing Adobe CS3 Suite, I noticed that the only program that won't start properly now is Premier Pro. When try to start Premier Pro 3.0, the splash screen opens and I can see the Komplete 5 software programs (Kontakt 3, Massive, Pro 53...) trying to load their .dll files. After a few seconds, Premier Pro quits and gives me a Runtime Error.
I've searched around a little bit and can't even find the .dll's for Komplete 5 to try the suggested experiment of moving them away out of their folder and then to bring them back after (if) I get Premier Pro to start as I have indexing turned off on the drives (which I "think" is to keep the system speedy?) so searching manually has not been easy so far. I looked in the vst folder and they are not there, unless I am missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Jerry,
You likely have an issue with one, or more, of the NI .dll's. There have been several issues with these. Do a search of this forum (go back to get all Premiere versions) for "Native Instruments." There are serveral threads on moving the .dll's, so that Premiere doesn't try to load them. Premiere will attempt to load every registered VST/.dll, as you have found. NI's do cause PP to hang.
Good luck,
Hunt

G'day Matt Vass from AUS. I just installed mavericks and now garage band won't start due to BFD folder invalid,

Hi there, hoping for help pls. I just installed mavericks and now garageband old version won't start because the BFD folder is invalid.

Click Software Update from your Apple menu  drop down menu.
If there's nothing available from Software Update, you may need to purchaase the newest GB version 10.0.2 from the App Store.

On my RMBP (10.8.2) Aperture 3.4.3 won't start due to a database error

On my RMBP (10.8.2) Aperture 3.4.3 will not start due to a database error. Command+Option start of Aperture is giving me the same error and not giving me a repair/rebuild choice. My iPhoto library (migrated from iPhoto to Aperture a couple of weeks ago) is kept on an external LaCie SSD which I have been unmounting when I take the MBP to work. I did notice earlier today that I had a '/Volumes/LaCie' and '/Volumes/LaCie 1'. Rebooting the MBP caused the '/Volumes/LaCie 1' to go away and I only see '/Volumes/LaCie' now.
The precise error I'm getting is "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/LaCie/iPhoto Library”. "
Suggestions?

It was in the middle of a Flickr sync and I disconnected the external LaCie cable (Thunderbolt) because I coult not get the disk to dismount because Aperture had it open while sync'ing. A lesson learned was to unset the automatic Flickr sync option from Aperture.
This can corrupt your Aperture library, and even the file system on the drive so that you may be unable to mount it. Really no good idea.
Aperture has a buil-in facility to stop running activities. Launch the Activity Viewer (from the main menu bar):
Window > Show Activity.
In this window you can see the status of ongoing activities and may cancel them safely.

Cs3 won't start and hand on "reading preferences"

Hello
All of a sudden my photoshop won't start and hang on the splash screen " the last message is "reading preferences"
I Run WINXP service pack2.
Photoshop version is 10.0.1
I rebooted did everything (without re-installing)
Is there a way to get out of this ?
Bruno

You could try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Versioncue.dll missing

i copy adobe installed folders frome one computer and paste to my computer, but when open photoshop cs4 there is a message showing missing versioncue.dll, can u send me that dll pls

This is likely just one of the many failures you will experience due to copying the application from one computer to another. Are you able to remove the software from the Programs & Features control panel? If so please remove the software and install from your installation media. Also what version of Windows are you using?

VersionCue.dll missing in CS4

Hello,
I'm a brand new Adobe user who just purchased CS4 Production Premium.
I wanted to batch process a bunch of jpegs using a custom action I created in Photoshop. I created an action to change the brightness/contrast to 20/100 respectively. I then used Bridge to select a series of Jpegs and then ran Tools->Photoshop->Batch and chose my custom action. I chose all defaults and hit okay and I get this dialog box:
Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
What is this thing and where do I get it?
Thanks for any clues

I am having the same problem and it has brought my Windows XP machine to its knees. No matter what I do it freezes and frustrates.
I don't know who the guy is who keeps suggesting calling Technical Support but it is a waste of time. As I write this I have been ON HOLD for three hours and 35 minutes. And this is after being online with Technical Support for an hour and twenty-four minutes (1:24:00). I followed their instructions and I am worse off now than before!
And if anyone from Adobe is reading this (HA!) my case number is #180954123. To say I am unhappy with Adobe is an understatement. The fact that they sell their products at outrageous sums of money and then cannot even provide INSTALLATION support is abominable. My particular problem was caused by their automatic updater service because I had the program installed and running fine for months and now it is half un-installed and tries to install itself during the uninstall. Yes, you heard me right. During the uninstall I was getting install errors!
Yes indeed, call Technical Support and good luck with that. I thought Microsoft was arrogant and uncaring about its customers, but Adobe is now running neck and neck with them for poor customer support. All I know is that sooner or later Adobe will reap what is sows.
And now I think I have to format my PC and spend two days trying to reconstruct all my applications. Maybe I will install and learn how to use GIMP (free!) instead of Photoshop. And oh yes, I may have to re-consider my evangelism to the world and especially to my university about using Cold Fusion on its servers.
Sign me one irate, unhappy, frustrated, and annoyed customer.

Photoshop CS3 won't start anymore

I use Photoshop CS3 with OSX 10.4. Everything has been working great until reccently. I had a huge job and the amount of memory it took was causing 'scratch dick full' errors. One day I pulled Photoshop up and it got part way through opening and crashed. It has been doing this ever since. I have cleared over 22 gig of space, cleared the preferences by holding down the control, option, shift.... when starting, and finally reinstalled Photoshop. Nothing works. All of my other software is working great. However, I also have CS2 and Photoshop isn't starting on that version either.
What can I do to get it going again? I have jobs backed up and I'm falling behind fast!
Any help appreciated!

Press and hold Ctrl - Shift - Alt IMMEDIATELY after starting Photoshop from its menu item or shortcut. This will allow you to reset the preferences to initial defaults.
I'm betting that will help.

PS CS3 won't start

I recently installed PSE10 and then uninstalled previous versions. Since then when starting PS CS3, I get the message "Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. How can I repair, or remove PS CS3 so I can reinstall it, or an upgrade to CS6 without it gettng hung up on the old CS3?

Welcome to the forum.
Not sure if it will apply here, but I'll tell you a little story.
I had the full CS2 Production Studio (PS, AI, InDesign, Premiere Pro, Encore, After Effects, OnLocation, and a few others) installed, and then bought and installed Premiere Elements version 4. Suddenly, nothing in my CS 2 Production Studio would launch. Got the same (or very similar) message to what you got. My heart skipped a beat, as PrElements was a minor program, to be used for some special issues. Luckily, Adobe knew of this potential issue, and had already done a KB Article, stating the issue. The "fix" was to do a Repair Install of each of my Production Studio products. It took about 45 mins. to do that for everything, BUT it DID fix everything, and did not hurt PrE 4.0. Apparently, Adobe did not consider that one would have all those "pro" programs, and then install the "consumer" PrE 4.0.
You are talking some different Adobe programs, but I wonder is similar has happened - maybe PSE overwriting a Regisry entry, that PS needs? A folder for PS being replaced by one with the same name, but different .dll files, by PSE?
I know that Adobe has been phasing out the Repair Install option for some programs (wish they would not!), so cannot tell you if it is still available to you, or if you need to Deactivate, uninstall, then reinstall PS.
Good luck, it could be that something else happened, and my story is moot.

Offline Subordinate CA won't start due to revocation check failure

Greetings!
I'm building out a 3-tier PKI in my lab where both the root & first-level subordinate CA are offline. I am at the point where I have installed the CA certificate on the offline subordinate & I am attempting to start Certificate Services. THe
service start fails due to revocation check failure. This makes sense to me since the 2 locations in the CDP are ldap & http respectively; both requiring network connectivity.
What is the best practice for getting this to work? Is there a way to locally "inject" the Roo CA's CRL, or am I missing something else?

you need to install root CRL to a local certificate store:
certutil -addstore CA c:\filename.crl

IMac won't start due to power outage

A transformer blew here in town the other night, and we lost power. Prior to that, there were two other power outages due to weather, but my iMac recycled and turned on fine after that. Now it won't turn on at all. Yes, I have read through all of the discussions prior to adding this discussion:
1. Unplugged the cord from the surge protector, and into a wall socket, and all other cord related suggestions
2. Tried resetting the PRAM
3. No sound, no fan, nothing when I press the button
4. Unfortunately my warranty has run out
4. Should I try to reinstall the memory card or should I go ahead and take it in?
5. Any other suggestions? Help!
Thanks in advance....

After the drive is erased you will have to reinstall everything. You certainly can reinstall Tiger from the OS X installer DVD. When the OS is reinstalled, all the bundled software is also reinstalled, including Safari and iTunes.
As to whether anything can be done short of reformatting, that depends on the tools you have. A heavy duty utility may be able to repair the files and the drive. But it depends on what is wrong with the drive. If the cause is simply 'over-crowding' or bad sectors on the drive, i.e. too much stored on the drive or physical damage of the drive, it is possible to retrieve some or even all of the data. But, as you have discovered, Disk Utility cannot do this.

Encore CS3 won't start through Premiere or directly

I recently installed Premiere Pro CS3 with Encore. I completed a short highlight video that I was working on, and attempted to export to Encore. After I selected the direct burn option in Premiere, the video converted alright, and then (I assume from the description in the settings window) Encore tried to open to burn the video to DVD. There was a blank DVD in my drive at the time I did so, if that matters. After waiting 5 mins or so, all I saw was a white window in the middle of screen, and my cursor in 'working in the background' mode. I force quit out of Encore, and attempted to start it directly without any further luck. When trying to start it directly, I saw no white window, but the program was running in task manager, as it was when it tried to run through Premiere.
I'm doing all of this on a brand new machine:
AMD Phemom X4 Quad Core 2.3ghz
8GB DDR2
ATI Radeon HD 3200
Vista SP1
I can provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance.

The first thing that I would do is apply the detective work in this ARTICLE to see if there is some systemic issue. Be very sure to follow any links in any error/warning message at the time that Encore fails. Matter of fact, I would launch Encore, and then follow the tips in the article, to make sure that things were current.
If there are no clues, then I'd try a Repair Install, in hopes that a missing, or corrupt .dll, or similar, would be replaced, or reparied.
I've seen very few instances of Encore not launching, especially as a stand-alone.
Good luck,
Hunt

Fireworks CS3 won't start

I'm trying to get Fireworks CS3 to work on Windows 7. I install it, it activates but when I run it nothing happens. The process starts and remains running but nothing appears on the screen. I've checked the Event Logs but nothing's there, any tips on getting it to work? E.g. where do they keep the log files, etc.
