The error message that came up was...
XML parsing fatal error: Invalid document structure, Line:1, File: /Users/(my name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe Flash CS4/en/Configuration/Workspace/Essentials.xml
When i click OK the same message comes up again. WHen i Click OK on this box it comes up with..
The following panel layout is missing and cannot be read
/Users/(my name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe Flash CS4/en/Configuration/Workspace/Essentials.xml
The application will not have a correct layout. please load one from Windows -> Workspace
When i went to look at The essentials file It was empty and had no writing in it.
I have no Windows folder (i belive) but i do have a windowsSWF folder
What do i need to do? I have seen similar problems when ive searched the forums but none of them have helped me.
I have tried to reinstall it and the problem was still there.
