    Thank you for your help! I couldn't even use Fireworks CS5 - just opening it gave me the internal error.

    To fix, I closed Fireworks and

    1) downloaded the CS5 updater http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks/downloads_updaters.html

    2) on Windows 7, renamed the two objects in folder C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS5\English to add a suffix of OLD to each then re-opened Fireworks.

    Object I renamed in C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS5\English:

    Fireworks CS5 Panel Prefs.xml     to     Fireworks CS5 Panel PrefsOLD.xml

    Fireworks CS5 Preferences.txt      to     Fireworks CS5 PreferencesOLD.txt

    Problem solved!

    Hi...I did this and the updater will not run. Fireworks CS5 also will not run. I try to open it and there is no errors, no intro, no anything as well? It does this with Photoshop and other programs too?

    I know the topic is a bit old but I solve my problem by removing the entire Fireworks CS5 folder. I had the same problem on CS4 which was about a font problem. So, basically, never make the mistake to install a bunch of fonts at the same time. Secound, if you change hardware or system settings, make sure to manually remove or rename Fireworks CS5 folder to avoid problems. The bad thing about it is that you will lost your custom setting such as layout.

    Thank you Chess64 for your help!  This saved my life tonight.

    I finally solve the problem, at least in my case, I erased some files/preferences in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS5 this is the list: "Fireworks CS5.mch", "Font Map.txt" and the installation language folder (in my case "en_GB").

    Cheers!

    Was this a "trial and error" effort, Chess, or did you get the list elsewhere?

    I tested Fireworks CS5 heavily for 40+ hours on old computer that has ooold AMD Athlon 3500+ processor with 1 GB of old DDR ram (yes not even DDR2) with old WindowsXP. And in that time I had Dreamweave CS5 opened also so he took a 'bit' of memory also.

    Didn't had not single one 'shutdown', not single one error, nothing everything worked just perfectly.

    On stronger computers it works even better, if anyone has any problems with it now, could be other software issues, they are using something else that could then conflict and crash Fireworks.

    I was really surprised to see FCS5 working so great on those old computers, couldn't belive it.

    I am totally disappointed again! Since first CS I'm constantly getting Not Enough Memory, and Fireworks crash in the middle of the work! And this continues through all versions! I have 8 GB of RAM and still no help. Total SHAME. I was about to buy CS5, but this ridiculous ERROR definitely discouraged me from purchasing.

    So sad...

    Rather than "buy" anything, why don't you just test out the trial?

    All these errors occured in FW CS5??

    Well, i came up with some problems too.

    When opening fireworks, a message comes up saying something about not having the permission for something, because i'm not logged in as administrator, something like that. I don't remember what it said exactly because i have choosen not to appear again (In adittion, this message box appeared to respond only to double click, don't understand why )

    A more serious problem seems to be this: At the welcome screen, the "Open a Recent Item" menu, does not work, except the "open" button.

    Just to be clear,i like fireworks, it's a fantastic program, and i'm always excited when a new version comes out, but it looks like adobe does not seem to like it that much. It's a shame because Fireworks is better than Photoshop and Illustrator and should be given more attention.

    FireWorks CS3


    FireWorks CS4


    and now on


    FireWorks CS5

    I just see that things..

    "An internal error occurred"


    "Could not render the database"


    "Not enough memory"


    "FW Crash without notification"


    "FW goes hang if we do hard actions"


    If Adobe fixed these errors in FW CS5, why am seeing again..

    my PC:

    Dual Core 2 Ghz

    4 GB RAM

    Nvidia 8500 GT with 512MB VRAM


    so why FW CS5 with these errors?
