Fireworks CS3 crashes when I try to open it on Windows 7

I've just installed Win 7 and the CS3 web premium collection. Its pretty much a clean install ( about a week old ), but for some reason every time I open Fireworks it crashes with the error 'The application Fireworks has unexpectedly quit'.

"I have also been having this problem.
Fireworks worked after I installed it, but a few days later stopped working. Logging in with another user made it work.

I have spent 10 minutes going through the registry and have found the problem in my case.

One of the sites in here....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\9\Sites

was obviously corrupted or invalid, because removing it allowed fireworks to load up again!

If there is someone from Adobe that would like to see the registry information I removed so they can bug check it then I have saved the offending site entry, or if anyone knows where I can send it, since this seems to be a fairly common problem.

I hope this information helps"
