FlashMX 2004 Crashes on Launch

I downloaded and installed FlashMX 2004. I am running XP with complete SP2, 2.63 mhz, P4, 1 gig ddr ram. When I open Flash, it crashes, every time. I shut down all unnessary apps, closed my internet connection, disabled my Norton. I am at a complete loss as to why this keeps crashing. I have uninstalled it and cleaned up the registry and reinstalled it.

I am going to purchase StudioMX Pro, but I need this issue resolved first.

Thanks for your help

 

Is the macromedia licensing service running?
Is there any error message when it crashes?
(eg.instruction could not be read,illegal operation etc.)

 

Is the macromedia licensing service running?
I checked in the task manager and did not find flash.exe, as the Website suggests. Is that the file you mean?

The error splash screen message is:

Flash MX 2004 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The Error Signature is as follows:
AppName: flash.exe AppVer: 7.2.0.581 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 0001eb33

I attached the Technical information text file for you to review.

This is all I know. It happens over and over again and I just don't know how to fix it. Are there any diagnostic and repair programs out there that can diagnose and fix this?

Thanks for your help.

 

Try control panel>administrative tools>services
check for macromedia services and make sure it is automatic.

If that doesnt work try reinstalling.
