  • "Error: 3" message when I try to run Flash CS4 Pro

    I have Adobe Flash CS4 Pro installed on my Windows 8 operating system, and it worked very well for a while, but all of a sudden now, I get a generic error message when I try to run the application. It is for me a "error: 3 ' State and tells me to restart (which I've done several times) and otherwise to contact Adobe technical support, which will not help me because it is not a"current version ". I also tried to "Run as administrator."

    Very frustrated.

    Fortunately, I got the original installation disc, so I put that in, hope for the uninstall options. To my surprise, it is only available to install. I open the flash cs4 directory and as far as I could tell, all files were there. In any case, I decided to let it install again, and for some reason, that seemed to fix it. The odd part is never I uninstalled it and I used it several times! So I do not know why it was not recognizing the files more.

  • Error 0 x 80096001, several errors when trying to install MS VS 2008, Vista SP1 and when you try to run Windows update or Windows Defender.

    Hello. I wanted to run Visual Studio 2010 Express edition on my Vista Home Premium, but ran into way too many problems. First of all, download have not installed because of a problem with the installation of .NET framework v4.0. Then I tried to VS 2008, but has encountered the same problem with the .NET framework. Whenever I try to run Windows update, it displays error Code 80096001 and said "Windows could not check for new updates. So I tried to download .net directly from microsoft downloads, but whenever I try to install it, it says I need to turn on .net "turn on or off windows features", in the control panel. I tried, but the list is completely empty, it shows nothing at all. I downloaded the vista sp1, but it too installation stops with error code 0 x 80096001.
    I tried to disable my anti-virus (avg free). Windows Defender does not initially upward or through subsequent attempts to run it. It shows the same error code. Please advise on how I can solve these problems and use Visual Studio... it's very frustrating because I never had these problems with XP... everything worked.

  • Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

    In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

    An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

    We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
    At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

    Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?
