Adobe Golive 9 (CS3) not working on MBP 2008

I got this new MBP last week and did a clean install of all my Apps and Documents. Only one problem. I installed Golive 9 and it installed fine but when i launch it, it just crashes. I did a full uninstall of all my adobe apps (photoshop and dreamweaver.) and redid a clean install of Golive same issue. So i Then though okay maybe its 10.5.5 and i happen to have 3 Macbook Pros of different ages ( Powerbook G4 1.8ghz and MacBook Pro 2.33ghz Core2Duo ) and Golive installs fine and runs fine on them.

I have tried everything I could think off but no luck. I get an error message that it cant find some macos stuff. Ill post the error message if anyone understands Mac error messages.

Also Golive never reaches the serial number registration page and adobe photoshop and dreamweaver run perfectly fine with no issues. I am starting to suspect its the 10.5.5 build in the unibody Macbook Pro thats the issue.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Mac OS X (10.5.5)

I might do that next. since adobe's forums are limited if not inactive on golive and adobe have offcially retired Golive and there page pretty much just say upgrade to dreamweaver, i didnt think i would go far with them. I was hoping since this seems to be an issue only with MBP 2008 someone here would have the same issue or solution. Of course if i find out anything form adobe ill post it up here. In mean time any help would be great.

It seems to be an issue with my Installation. Just did an external HD install and golive runs fine on that. SO i guess when i did the original install on the MBP2008 some permissions got messed up. Impossible to solve it without re-installing my whole setup which is annoying but hey its the fastest way to solve my issue. Unless an update patch killed. Ill have to test that next.
