Updated: Dreamweaver CS3 hangs on “initializing files” in Windows Vista Home Premium
I noticed this7 error in Windows Vista Home Premium. When you launch Dreamweaver CS3, it opens the splash screen, displays “initializing files” and thats it.
Necessary Troubleshooting steps we’re already done to attempt to launch/fix the program but to no avails.
The troubleshooting steps below didn’t work.
1. Recreate Registry file: HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>ADOBE>Dreamweaver (renamed to Dreamweaver old)
2. Open Dreamweaver on Selective Startup mode (http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401454)
3. Turn off ALL anti virus software; firewall and windows Firewall.
4. Troubleshooting Dreamweaver for Windows (http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_15481)
I’m not sure if this is a bug though. But to think that it’s only happening in Windows Vista Home Premium.
Here’s an update for the fix (Thanks to James from the comment section)
For Acer Users, you can try to uninstall the Acer E-Data Security Management from the Add/Remove programs and it should fix the problem. I will still confirm this solution if I’ll get more comments that will confirm that they were able to fix the problem by uninstalling the Acer E-Data Security Management.
Sid how bad do you want change
