Okay, this is a follow-up post... I logged out of my main account, and logged
in to my backup admin account. Fireworks CS4 works perfectly in the secondary
account. I went back to my main account and closed all open programs, and tried
opening up Fireworks CS4 again, but it did not complete the loading as I
mentioned in my first post above.

Does anyone have any ideas? Anything would be helpful at this point, as Adobe
does not seem to respond to my emails.

Thanks in Advance.

I've seen the same thing with Fireworks launching and then crashing on
the splash screen but it only happens occasionally for me. Do you find
this happening every single time? What if you restart your machine and
then launch Fireworks fresh? Still crashes? Your system meets the system
requirements I assume, right?

Derren,

It happens every time. I have tried restarting my Mac, no good. It does work
when I install it and use it under another user name with admin privileges.
Someone else suggested my OS Admin account was limited, which is totally
impossible, as it is the original and only admin account I have had since I
purchased the computer, until I set up another account for testing purposes.

And to answer your other question, yes, I far exceed the minimum requirements
to run CS4. I have been running CS3 since the middle of 2007 with no problems.

I wish I could find the answer to the problem, but Adobe has been of no help
whatsoever. I have emailed them at least 10 times, and they ignore me. Since I
cannot try the new version properly, since they will not help me to make it
work, it looks like they lost me as an upgrade customer. I'll stick with CS3. I
will say I am very disappointed in their customer service. i have been an Adobe
customer for as long as they have been making Photoshop.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know, I would appreciate hearing
any ideas.
