Studio MX 2004 programs will not open at all

As others here and elsewhere have reported, Mac OS updates occasionally (often?) cause problems with the Macromedia Studio MX 2004 programs. After these problematic updates, the Macromedia programs do not open; the icons bounce in the dock a few times and then either disappear or give a "Program Not Responding" error.
In the past, whenever I've had this problem, I've solved it by deleting the preferences files and/or repairing disk permissions.
This time, however, neither of these things have worked. In addition, I've trashed every Macromedia and Macrovision folder and file on my machine and reinstalled the programs, but that hasn't helped, either.
Rebooting the machine didn't help.
I've installed the hotfix available on the Adobe site. Didn't help.
I've installed the program updates also available on the Adobe site to no avail.
According the "Software Update," my machine has all the latest software installed.
I am completely out of ideas on how to get these programs working again. Is there any trick out there that someone knows about that I haven't tried?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice people can offer. This is really, really frustrating.
P.S.: I tried posting about this problem in an older thread that seemed related, but it's not clear to me whether those threads get read. Since it's been several days with no responses, I've started a new thread. Apologies if that's bad form...

@embacy -> Do you have any single-sign on (SSO) extensions installed? Do you have Roboform installed?

  • I have a Mac running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and not the program will not open at all. I am also unable to download the previous version that was running fine. I'm using Safari to contact you.

    I have a Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. I downloaded Firefox 4 and now the program will not open at all. I get an error message that reads --
    "You cannot open the application 'Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."
    I am also unable to find a link to download the previous version (3.6) that was running fine. (I'm using Safari to contact you.)

    Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
    My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
    worked great in 3 mns

  • Firefox will not open at all. I only get the Mozilla Crash Reporter over and over.

    After updating yesterday, Firefox will not open. I repeatedly get the Mozilla Crash Reporter. I've scanned my computer for malware, I've tried to open it in safe mode (it won't), I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla, but nothing works. Each time I reinstall, I still get the Mozilla Crash Reporter. The program will not open at all.
    I ran my crash ID. Here is the info: bp-eff196eb-ed21-45ee-83c6-e0fc42130123

    hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • My adobe CS2 programs will not open on my macbook pro osx 10.5.8

    Today my adobe cs2 suite programs will not open.  They were working just fine a couple of days ago.  And they have worked fine for years.  I did not update to any new os that would cause them not to work.  I really need to get some image work done soon and this is a real monkey wrench in my plans.  I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall from the disc and it would not let me do that either.  I tried to download picasa just as a quick alternative to get some images edited tonight and it would not let me open that either, even though it said it was good for 10.5 or above.  So the only thing I can think of is that I downloaded something that changed some settings? 

    Try http://www.lemkesoft.com/ GraphicConverter instead.
    Mackeeper can also be a problem:

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Programs will not open from Dock

    I have updated my Macbook Pro with Yosemite which has led to - a lot. Programs will not open from Dock, they are just revealed in Finder. Scrolling with mousebuttons in a browser will zoom instead of scroll, the courser will not change after changing tool in Indesign. Just to mention a few problems i have discovered so far. I think I was an idiot to uppgrade to Yosemite. PLEASE HELP!

    Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions, then quit DU and Restart the MBP.  If that does not clear the issues, restart again holding the Command and R keys, and from Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X.  That will reinstall Yosemite but leave your content and settings intact.  See if that repairs whatever is broken.

    I Just bought iMovie for yosmite and the program will not open.. I will like a fix or a refund.. i am getting tired of these problems...

    Welcome to the world of downloaded software. There are no refunds.
    Back in the good old days when software was purchased on disk one could sell it (legally).
    Please describe your problem.  Give us some details to go from.   Are you using iMovie 06, or something newer?

  • TS2518 updated to Aperture 3.4, but program will not open, keeps telling me it needs to restore windows?

    I just updated to OS X 10.7.5 and Aperture 3.4, but program will not open, keeps telling me I to restore windows

    Quit Aperture, if it is running/ hanging.
    Remove the file com.apple.Aperture.plist from the folder
    Your home folder  > Library > Preferences
    The User Library is hidden by default. You can reveal it from the Finder's "GO" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove the file
    your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
    After removing the user preferences file, you will have to reset the Preferences, you selected in Aperture's preferences panel.

  • 7515 Program will not open

    I have an HP 7515 All-in-One printer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the operating programs on my Dell XPS 8700 Win7 Pro several times and it says everything is working the way it should but when I click on the desktop icon, the program will not open. I need to print an address on an envelope so I need to get into this program. Any suggestions?

    Hello DavidBez,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I'd like to help get your Photosmart 7515 up and printing from your computer. I am not aware of an area in the printer software that is installed on the computer's Desktop that allows you to print an envelope, but I hope this helps get the icon working again.
