Question

Blank line in MSCONFIG connected to error 148:3?

Install any Adobe CS4 product on a Windows OS and the software adds some number of Startup items to MSCONFIG including CS4ServiceManager, AdobeCollabSync and a blank line with no Startup file name or Command Line entry.

Until Adobe's products added those Startup items, I had no software loading from my MSCONFIG Startup group. The blank line was disconcerting so I unchecked it. That, apparently, triggered the dreaded "error 148:3" message about a licensing problem. That error can be resolved by running LicenseRecover.exe, a file available for download from somewhere on the Adobe.com site. However, as long as the blank line in MSCONFIG is unchecked, CS4 products will continue to not run and will continue to display the 148:3 error message.

So...what does the blank line in MSCONFIG do? What is it? How is it that Adobe can add an unnamed Startup item to MSCONFIG?

    of course it's not a "blank" line... it has the reg key. go there via regedit and see what it is...

    If you really want to know what is behind the "blank line", don't use MSCONFIG, but something that shows you all, like Autoruns (click on the Logon tab).

    Now it's clear what you meant when you wrote "Bonjour."

    This is not the place to discuss this. You might try the CS Windows forum. This forum is to discuss issues pertinent to the forums---not Adobe software support issues.

    Well it never appeared there. Maybe he was satisfied with my answer.
