Fireworks and Snow Leopard
Wrriten by Equal Design | Blog | 04 March 2010
It seems there is battle happening inside my iMac between Adobe Fireworks and Snow Leopard OS! Initially I presumed it was probably my lack of re-booting/updating that was causing the problem so I carried out the necessary updates (480mb!) for my CS4 design package, re-booted the iMac and hoped for the best.
I though as I had dismissed 480mb worth of updates for a while that was the most likely thing to be at the root of this problem. Wrong! Fireworks still hangs when I try to start it, and displays the not so helpful message “an internal error has occurred”. So off I go to the Adobe support site where I stumbled on a blog by one of their own developers that works for Adobe Systems on the Fireworks Engineering team.

The 1st post in this thread was back in September 09 the most recent is from less than a week ago with around 90 comments on the post! Adobe need to address this issue. I will be checking this error at home this evening as im in the office right now (but do have a new 27″ iMac at home).
Pretty poor support from a company of this size in my opinion!

Strangely my home iMac (27″) runs fireworks fine (at 1st glance!) so that throws me totally??
As its the same version of fireworks (CS4) and the same OS (Snow Leopard).
I’ll Just have to keep reading, or try a re-install tomorrow at the office..

Found that it was a corrupt font in my user fonts disabled it and fireworks has sorted its self out.
