I've had repeated instances of the Adobe CS3 Updater and Acrobat crashing on launch. Apparently this is a common problem. I've been told by Adobe to uninstall CS3, run the CS3clean script, then reinstall. Today, I didn't feel like doing it for a fourth time, so I did a bit of troubleshooting, and came up with the following solution. In Terminal, do this: $ cd /Library/Application Support $ ls -l | grep Adobe See what the owner and group on the Adobe folder are; if you see your username in the third column, then run this command: sudo chown -R root:admin Adobe This fixed it for me; CS3 Updater and Acrobat no longer crash on launch.
