Did you also get this Fireworks error?
You may get it with Adobe Fireworks CS4 or even an older version.
After some Searching on the internet I got solutions related to the Fonts installed, suggesting to uninstall (delete) some of these or even all of them, to get Fireworks working.
I downloaded and tried a couple font applications to find corrupted font files but even so, the problem persisted.
I re-installed the program, but I still got the same error.
I also tried installing the Fireworks patch, which you can get and try here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/fireworks/downloads_updaters.html
But, what worked for me was to delete the user preferences file, which is located here:
Windows XP:
[Drive, C:]\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\[language]\Fireworks CS4 Panel Prefs.xml
Windows Vista:
[Drive, C:]\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\[language]\Fireworks CS4 Panel Prefs.xml
UPDATE: Note that "CS4" could be "CS5", depending upon your version of Fireworks (thanks to Ed for noticing this).
[Drive, C:] is typically C:\
[username] is the username that you used to logon to windows.
[language] is the language that you use with Fireworks, such as "English"
So, if Windows XP is installed to drive C:\, your username is John and your language is English, the path would be,
C:\Documents and Settings\John\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\English\Fireworks CS4 Panel Prefs.xml.
Similarly for Windows Vista would be,
C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\English\Fireworks CS4 Panel Prefs.xml.
Rename the file and then start Fireworks. You might also need to rename the backup file (the one with the .bak extension).
The file will be re-created and the program will start normally.
Good luck!

I did find that if you have a text file (.txt) as well as the xml file in the preferences, then you will need to remove this as well:
Fireworks CS3 Panel Prefs.xml
Fireworks CS3 Preferences.txt
It's maybe worth pointing out that this fix also works for other applications in the Creative Suite, like Dreamweaver and Flash.

This fixed worked great for me - ONCE! I was able to successfully run one batch process - then the next time I got the same internal error. It is NOT efficient to have to delete the offending .txt and .xml files every time I need to run a batch process!
This worked for me too. Thanks for posting this fix. Adobe Tech support was useless. I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with them trying to solve this problem. When they couldn't help I found this post and fixed the problem in less than 1 min! Fantastic!
