Thanks mararichi! I had this same problem with my Fireworks CS4, "Could not launch Fireworks. An Internal error occurred" with only 471 fonts installed.

I removed the font TI-86.TTF using Control Panel > Fonts and my problem disappeared!

I did not need to remove my other TI fonts, only the TI-86.TTF font.

I hope this fixes it for the rest of you.

Steps to fix:

1. Start > Control Panel > Fonts
2. Find the font named TI-86.TTF and press your Delete key.
3. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
4. Now try launching Fireworks. It should launch correctly this time.
   

Good luck!

My problem has disappeared and I don't know how or why.

I have checked from time to time over the past months to see if Fireworks would load without any sucess.

A week ago I installed 38 handwriting fronts and later tried to load Firwworks and it did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am none the wisier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,

I have been using the trial version of FW CS4 for the past week with no problems and now I have the Internal error message ..

I have uninstalled the program and then reinstalled 2x and have also acquried the updater you mentioned in the thread , still with no help with the internal message bug that popped up before.

Is this an issue with trial ? should I remove all of the adobe products again? please help!!

thanks

I had this problem and solved it by renaming this file (under Windows XP):

Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\English\Fireworks CS4 Panel Prefs.xml

Where <User Name> stands for my user name.

When FW started, it recreated the file (it couldn't find the old one, since I had renamed it).

Seems to be working fine now.

I had the same promlem using Windows Vista. I re installed 2 times, no previous beta on the machine. Nothing worked. I was so fed up and needed to work that I purchased my first MAC. I sure hope it doesn't happen again like it did to the person above!

I use Fireworks every day! Until I saw this thread I thought it was mt "sick" PC:-)

Sarthak,

     You had the "golden touch" with providing us the link to the Fireworks patch.  I realize the installation of any piece of software is likely to result in a slightly different configuration of files (executables, drivers, etc.) on each computer onto which it is installed, but the Fireworks patch did the trick for me!  I read your posting this morning and downloaded the patch.  It was a quick install and Fireworks CS4 booted up on my first try.  Thanks a whole bunch. I wish I had found your post two weeks ago when I first installed the CS4 suite and encountered the Fireworks problem; i.e., every program in the suite booted fine except Fireworks.

I am having the same problem on a brand new computer with only OfficeMac 2008 installed on it. This is obviously a bigger problem that Adobe is refusing to accept. I have spent a total of 4 days (2 hours each day) on the phone with them and nothing has fixed the problem. They obviously don't know what's going on either.

I am still suspecting it to be a problem related to fonts installed on the system. The patch tried to address this issue incase there is a corrupted font or unreadable font. However I feel that there are some exceptions to this and the patch is unable to handle it.

After going through my Fonts folder (Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard), I tracked it down to two fonts:

Song.dfont
Seoul.dfont

Song caused an error on startup, and Seoul caused an error when I quit.  These are also the only two fonts with the "dfont" extension, so I'm guessing that has something to do with it.  Fireworks is back to normal now, and I hope this helps solve the problem for other users too.
