This was the error that ruined our lives! Alright, not to be so melodramatic, but for the week that we've been without the entire Adobe Master Collection CS3 it certainly feels that way. We'll start with what the problem was, a dreaded MSCVR80.dll error. It started a full week before with crashing of Photoshop randomly. Then it progressed on last week to crashing on the splash screen.

We'd click the applications, they'd crash. We immediately started searching online for how to fix the problem while trying to keep up with other work we had in queue. Luckily we had backup copies of Adobe CS1 on-hand (which as you know taking from CS3 and putting into CS1 leaves a lot to be desired and all of Adobe's programs).

A little background
This has been a known problem for Adobe since earlier last year. Even after assistance from Adobe, few on the forums found a resolution to this problem. Based on the forums there are more than a few people with an expensive icon of failure on their desktops.

There were a few possible causes we learned from the Forum, but these were reported the most resolved:

We are very pleased to announce our redesign of Enemybook. Enemybook is a Facebook app that disconnects you to the so-called friends around you. Enemybook was created by MIT student Kevin Matulef and his latest press interview aired today on NPR's, "All Things Considered". Congratulations Kevin!

We're working on our own Facebook app to be released in 2008.
