This file is not encrypted, but an ecryption rule is defined for the file.

May 7, 2009 10:41 AM

Hello,  I recently purchased FW CS3 for my work laptop.  Since installation I am having a serious error that produces a pop up that will not let me get around it.  as soon as I close it it pops up again and will not let me resume working in the program, eventually freezing and I have to Ctrl - Alt - Delete and do a hard shut down via the task manager.  This occurs  every time I try to open an existing file, export or save as.  Very annoying and is preventing me from completing work. The pop that I get says "This file is not encrypted, but an encryption rule is defined for the file."  I have attached a screen shot of this.  If you have any idea what could be causing this and what I can do to prevent/eliminate this it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thx

J

    I've not seen this error message before, maybe someone else has and will pop in to help.  :-)

     

    Does this happen when you try and open a specific file, or when you try and open *any* file?

     

    What you could try is to reset the preferences file to see if that helps in any way:  (It doesn't hurt anything - it just sets the preferences file back to it's default state).... this has helped others with varying start up problems.

     

     

    Restore default preferences

    • Quit Fireworks.
    • Locate the      Fireworks  Preferences file on your hard disk and delete      it.
      The exact location of this file varies from system to system.
    • In Windows, preferences      are      in your user-specific Fireworks      configuration folder.
    • Windows [Drive]:\Documents and      Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS#\English\
    • In Mac OS, preferences are      in      the Library/Preferences folder in your      user folder. For information about      locating      your Mac OS user folder, see Apple Help.
    • Mac  [User]/Library/Preferences/Adobe      Fireworks CS#/en/Fireworks Preferences
    • Note: On Mac OS,      most  Fireworks user-specific configuration files are stored in      your      user-specific Application Support      folder.he Fireworks CS4 Preferences file is an exception
    • Restart Fireworks.
    • The next time Fireworks is      launched, a new preferences   file will be created that restores      Fireworks to its original   configuration.

     

    If this doesn't work and no-one else pops in with a suggestion, then the only other support avenue is to contact Adobe Support directly.

    I am getting the same error.  Did deleting the preference file work for you?  It did not in my case.  Does anyone have any other suggestions.  Thanks.

    Have you contacted Adobe tech support? This is a user-to-user forum and it sounds like the problem arises from your company's special operating requirements, not something that an average user would encounter.

    I had the same issue today, with a new installation of Fireworks on an encrypted XP SP3 system.

     

    I spent a while with Adobe tech support and they had me check out permissions etc, make some changes by adding 'everyone' with 'full access' rights to individual files.

     

    This *appeared* to fix things, but later I realised that it had no effect.

     

    What I found was that if I use Fireworks' own browse dialogue to open a file, I would get the "This file is not encrypted, ..." error. But if I used any other method to open the file - browse in Windows Explorer then right-click, open with Fireworks, or drag from Windows onto open Fireworks window, or open from Bridge etc, then I got no error.

     

    OK it's a pain not being able to use the Fireworks browse dialogue, but frankly I use other methodds to open my files 90% of the time anyway.

     

    HTH anyone else having the same issue.

    I am recieving the same error.  This is on a fresh installation of Windows XP SP3 (fully updated thourgh Microsoft Update) with Utimaco Safeguard Enterprise 5.35.3.35 encryption software running.  I have updated Fireworks to version 9.0.1.1213.

     

    The error occurs:

    1 in 4 times trying to save file as...

    1 in 6 times trying to open files through Fireworks' menu tree

    1 in 20 times trying to open files right from Windows Explorer.

    1 in 6 times trying to open files through Fireworks' hotkeys (ctrl+o)

    Never (or at least 0 in 30) while opening Save File As... using hotkeys (ctrl+shift+s)

     

    Has anyone found a fix for this yet?  Judging by the 1,135+ views, I'd say this is a pretty important issue.  Do Adobe personnel check this?

    Are you using any kind of encryption software on your system? I think that the encryption software installed by our IT team is causing this problem for me.

    Do you know which encryption software you are using? We have SafeGuard Enterprise http://www.sophos.com/products/enterprise/encryption/safeguard-enterpr ise/

    Since we're all in the Utimaco Safeguard boat, Steve and Johnny, I'm going to try encrypting with TrueCrypt instead to see if there's any improvement - this is of course assuming that our encryption software is (somehow) causing the conflict... and Utimaco is not a very friendly program to begin with, so I wouldn't bet against it.

    Hello Everyone,

     

    I am a Sophos employee and I wanted to let everyone know that you may want to contact our support number and speak with one of our support engineers.  We may be able to help you correct the issues you are seeing using Adobe Fireworks.  The number is 1-888-SOPHOS-9.  Then press 4 for technical support and then 8 for the encryption queue.

     

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Do we know if this issue was fixed with either a newer version of Safeguard or in CS5?

     

    Thanks,

    Tony
