:The system hung until FLASH CS3 was terminated.
That's kind of vague... if the system is "hung", you can't kill anything. Are you saying Flash hung? If so, that doesn't really shock me...
As to how to fix, well if these are not legit copies, with Adobe's activation you basically need to "hack" the app to break the activation check. Clearly no one can say what that does to the stability.
If they are legit, have they applied all the Adobe patches to bring them up to date?
I guess we'll never get an answer. I'm willing to bet they were probably using cracked versions of FLASH CS3 considering the absurd price and 30 day trial versions which are not sufficient for an entire semester of work. I don't know if they installed any updates.
