Issues With CS4 Installation on Win 8?

I purchased CS4 (Web Premium) on  disc several years ago, and it has been working fine on my  Win XP computer ever since. The Adobe software has all the current  updates, though I am using the CS4 version of Acrobat Pro (9.xx) rather  than a more recent (free) version of Reader.,
Unfortunately,  my computer's hard drive has fried, and I just purchased a new Windows 8  machine, which will arrive shortly.  I am trying to determine:
1. Are there any general issues with CS4 installation on Win 8 that I should know about in advance?
2. Are there specific procedures (de-activation?) that I need to follow BEFORE attempting the installation on the new computer?
3. Other than specific user issues, are there problems with CS4 versus Windows 8 that I would not encounter with Windows 7.
I  enhance photos and create web sites for a living, so the CS4  installation is mission-critical. I am hoping I did not make a mistake  in ordering a Win 8 machine...
Thanks for any and all insights.

OK, fair enough. Maybe someone who has actually experienced this situation (CS4 --> Win 8 machine) might see this and offer some tips to avoid hassles. But I will try the install as soon as I get the new machine and post any ensuing issues/problems here.
As for de-activation of the previous installation on the XP machine, that is now impossible, as the hard-drive is fried. Unless there is a way to de-activate an installation some other way (without actually opening the programs).  That said, I AM able to access files on the fried harddrive, so if there is a specific file that controls de-activation, I could access it on the old machine.  However, I may not be able to actually RUN said file on that machine, but can copy it to a stick and move it elsewhere. So, any thoughts on deactivation of an installation on a deceased computer?

  • Installation issues with JRE, Auto Update, win 2008 and terminal services

    Hello,
    We have seven Windows 2008 servers running Terminal Services in one TS farm. I have approximately 600 users accessing these servers. We have a need for the Java JRE. The JRE is to be installed on each of the seven servers since the user has no input into which server they log on to (round robin / load balancing)
    There are several issues that have occurred with this installation. I install the JRE on each of the servers when there is no one logged on. I turn off both of the update features while installing as administrator. When the users log on, however they are at some point prompted for an admin password to update Java. The users have no need to update java as all updates will be performed by the system admin. Additionally, when the user runs any app that uses the Java plug-in, they get a folder put on their desktop labeled Sun.
    Are there special instructions for installing Java when using Terminal Services and Windows 2008? As you can well see, 600 calls to the help desk asking about this update popup is not productive and accessing 600 users accounts and turning off the auto update on an individual basis is not practical. The user cannot disable this update anyway. They options are grayed out at the user level.
    If this is not the proper forum to ask these question, please forward this message to the proper department or let me know who I should/could contact to resolve these issues.
    Best regards,
    Bob

    When the users login the terminal server picks up there local timezone from the machine they are logging in from and apply's it to there terminal server session. The problem is when the jre is launched it is picking up the server timezone, not the timezone from the users session(which is different).
    Does this clarify it?Nope.
    Either the user is running the jre or the server is. Or maybe both. Seems like all of those are possible from your explanation.
    It doesn't matter what the jre is running. What matters is who runs the jre.
    Best I can suppose your situation is as follows.
    - The server, not a user, is running a jre with one or more applications.
    - The users use something, probably a browser, to access that server app (it doesn't even matter that it is java in terms of what the users are doing.)
    If and only if that is your situation then you MUST pass information from the browser session to the server (java or anything else for that matter) and you MUST use that information in the server code to display time information.

  • Multiple issues with new installation

    I have several issues with my fresh installation of arch (just got myself a free old-as laptop , thus trying out arch for the first time as I usually run gentoo), and I'm not sure where these should go. I figure that I may as well lump them all at once while I'm at it.
    The laptop model is a Toshiba Dynabook TX/430DX Japanese laptop similar to a Tecra A2 afaik.
    1. If I use stock ARCH kernel, when I load up x11 it seems to be using some wrong drivers or something. Tried with and without xorg.conf. The screen is all fuzzy etc. However, I compiled my own kernel (the Zen sources), took out a whole bunch of drivers I knew I wouldn't be using (etc. SATA/IDE/extra whatnot so that it would merely take 3 hours to compile the kernel), x11 works fine. HOWEVER with the zen sources, when I close x11 I can't exit to console. I get some sort of weird artefact from what happened to be on the screen, or it just goes black. It does actually seem to be in console as I can turn off the laptop with ctrl.alt.del and the capslock etc seems to work fine. I'm thinking of recompiling the zen sources with the stock arch kernel config when I have the time just to see what happens, but I'm not too sure it'd help.
    The VGA device is an: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Intergrated Graphics Device (rev 02), using the intelfb module.
    2. In most consoles I've used, if you type in part of a command then press ctrl.up/down, it autocompletes with previous commands you've run matching what you've already entered. However, in my install it brings me to the very first command in my bash history. How do I make it autocomplete previous commands?
    3. When I use wvdial (I have a mobile modem), I get odd characters as shown in the screenshot posted.
    I don't think it's a unicode issue, as ncmpcpp displays properly. This displays itself both in the console and in x11 (screenshot).
    4. If I'm using the stock kernel and I stop wvdial, I get a whole bunch of kernel error trace messages. After this, anything that goes to dmesg will be displayed to whatever terminal I'm on (but not actually echoed, it gets overwritten if I change screen etc). Wvdial is also prone to crashing, sometimes taking out the whole laptop. However, while using the zen kernel I do not suffer this issue at all.
    Any help in helping me find the source of these issues would be greatly appreciated. They're not showstopping issues, but extremely irritating nonetheless.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: I created a zen kernel based on the arch stock kernel. Unsurprisingly, I still suffer from the x11 video issue. However, I don't have issues with number 4.

  • Multi-monitor issue with CS4?

    Hi; I'm running a Mac with the following specs:
    3 x 30" ACD
    MacPro 2,8 Ghz Quad
    2x ATI Radon 2600 XT graphics cards (2 screens attached to 1 card; 1 screen to the other card)
    I've encountered after the switch from CS3 to CS4 the following issue:
    Whenever I try to use the new Bridge Review function using one of the the screens sharing one graphics card I just get a grey screen.
    If I move the bridge window to the solely attached screen it works.
    Is that an issue of CS4 or is just the throughput of the second graCard providing 2 monitors not sufficient.
    Thanks t.

    T,
    There are known issues with using more than one graphics card which Apple has not truly resolved.  You may want to browse some of the threads in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum.
    In addition, you should know that Photoshop and Bridge cannot really take advantage of more than one graphic card.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1540485#1540485
    This bit of information in relation to GPU and OpenGL features and
    limitations in Photoshop CS4 had totally escaped me until now. Though
    it doesn't affect my setup, it might be of interest to others who may
    have missed it too.
    Excerpt from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404898
    Q. Does Photoshop take advantage of dual-GPU display cards?
    A. Not at this time.
    Q. Why can't Photoshop take advantage of more than one display card?
    A. When you move an image window between two monitors that are
    each on a separate display card, the GPU attached to the second monitor
    does not have access to the data necessary to accelerate drawing. The
    SLI and Crossfire technologies that use more than one GPU to speed up
    full-screen games will not work with Photoshop, because their use is
    limited by design to accelerate only full-screen games.

  • Contribute 6.5 can not ftp after years of no issues with CS4 and CS5

    The problem
    Contribute 6.5 can not connect via ftp using settings that formerly worked (and still do) in CS4 and CS5.
    How we ended up here
    I am the administrator website where
    Our content editors have been using Contribute CS 4 and Contribute CS 5 without issue, 6+ years.
    We are trying to upgrade to CS 6.5 to better support HTML5 markup now used within the site.
    When attempting to configure a website connection in 6.5, Contribute alerts:
    "Contribute cannot find the website files on the server. Please contact the website's administrator for assistance."
    After closing the dialog box the failed connection is removed from contributes website connection list.
    We have a shared hosting account and utilize ftp to publish changes.
    Server is Win2008 with IIS 7.5
    Again it's shared hosting, so read/write ftp are scoped to our account's directory.
    We attempted this on serveral pcs including on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7.
    We can still connect successfully via ftp with CS4, CS5, dreamweaver, and Filezilla.
    Which is why I believe this to be a Contribute 6.5 issue.
    I've attempted the following troubleshooting articles:
    Use network I/O logging to log operations, identify problems
    I compared the I/O logging for both CS5 and CS 6.5 which both appear to log the same diagnostic steps.
    Contribute FTP Server Checker (quite dated)
    All successes reported. No failures.
    Troubleshooting a Connection CS4 (linked from with CS 6.5's help UI)
    As indicated above, alternate FTP clients have no issue.
    This appears to be similar issue to the following posts:
    5301620 - HELP - FTP Connection Error with Contribute 6.5
    5907180 - Contribute 6.5 can no longer connect to sites ...
    Unfortunately, there has been no solutions posted on either of these threads.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I can PM the network I/O log details if there is adobe staff who can get them in the right hands.
    (Again the logs only show successes.)

    @Zaldomoh
    Have you found a solution or been given assistance from Adobe to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem (CS 6.5 ftp'ing to a shared hosting enviroment). Details of our situation can be found on thread 1384686

  • So many issues with CS4 (bugs/rants)

    I'm glad we can get trials. There are a few major issues I'm
    having.
    Viewing in Safari, when clicking back onto Dreamweaver, the
    top bar will interact with Safari's tool bar. I have to click on
    and off to get Dreamweaver to draw on top of Safari. When this
    happens, there are also white flashes where windows are blank when
    clicking once on a tab or design view, then on second click the
    window draws. So anytime I click on the tool bars the page flashes
    white (empty-void of my html) and reappears on next click. This
    happens on first start, does not happen if I relaunch DW.
    Table <td background> background input is gone from the
    proprieties palette.
    Table height does not display when selecting a table, only
    width. So you have to go into the code and manually change or
    delete the table height.
    Some image/graphic outer edge colors do not match the defined
    html color on the page in Dreamweaver but do in Live View and
    Safari.
    Selecting an image and linking it, automatically populates
    without a border="0" resulting in an unwanted border color. It
    should be "0" by default like version 8.
    The color picker is not calibrated correctly. Using the
    picker on a table cell with the bg color of #990000 gives me a
    reading of #A31B12. And then getting a reading on the table cell
    with #A31B12 the color picker reads #AC3022. So it progressively
    gets lighter, while picking colors from the actual html, if doing
    multiple cells. So not sure how the color pickers needs to be
    calibrated to read the hex value because it's not currently doing
    that.
    I can't drag a file to the tab bar and be allowed to open it.
    Not sure why that's not allowed?
    Now some of these might be the new way DW codes, some might
    be fixable with settings, but the color picker and random flashing
    and viewing issues with Safari, linked images with no border seem
    like actual bugs to me.

    > Nope, it's not there. BG color is in the middle on my
    CSS tab under
    > properties
    > palette. There is no bg inpit filed when clicking inside
    a table cell.
    Yeah - it's there. But I was mistaken - it's in both the HTML
    and the CSS
    'tab' of the EXPANDED Property inspector - you have to click
    on the little
    almost invisible white triangle on the lower right-hand
    corner of the
    inspector to see the expanded section.
    > Yes, it should. Like alt tags are defaulted to 'empty'
    borders should be
    > given
    > a default value
    Nope. That would produce invalid HTML.
    > I wanted to hand code everything, I wouldn't be using
    dreamweaver.
    If you are not willing to learn some HTML and CSS, as well as
    best
    practices, then you shouldn't be using DW.

  • Apple 27'' Cinema display issue with nvidia quadro 1800 - Win 7 64bit

    Hello,
    I'm trying to help out a buddy of mine with his cinema monitor.
    He has a Windows 7 x64 machine, with a Nvidia Quadro 1800 - monitor hooked in via DVI port.
    Basically when you boot the PC up with the Apple monitor, the monitor turns on and backlit but no display, no options for BIOS or anything like that, just lit up and black screen.
    I can boot up the PC with a Dell monitor and it boots up fine - and if I take the DVI out of the Dell monitor and plug it in to the Apple monitor while the machine is up and running, the Apple monitor comes on and works without issue - however, if you were to reboot it, or if it goes to sleep - I lose the Apple monitor, and have to start the process over.
    The Windows machine recognizes the Apple monitor, it displays as Cinema monitor - all the video card drivers are up to date - also had the same issue with a previous video card (I swapped the video cards out thinking initally it was a bad video card)
    What am I missing? 
    Thanks!

  • My problems with CS4 installer

    "You're free to speak your mind my friend as long as you agree with me."
    The Ostrich, Steppenwolf (the group)
    I was wondering if the post I made two days ago had generated any feedback.
    It did, in the form of having been removed from the forum. Well, Adobe, it's your football, so why don't I try again, minus the part where I carped about the outsourced support, and the sparse information available online.
    I just got upgrade edition of CS4 Design Premium. It won't install. I've wasted an entire weekend trying. I tried every tip I could find in the Forums and KB, and none of them work. I am trying to upgrade an installed copy of Design Premium CS3.The symptoms are as follows:
    No icons get created for the parts of CS4 that do install.
    Illustrator, In Design and Acrobat won't install.
    Installer aborts with uninformative error message.
    Installer sometimes kills jscript, but refuses to run without it.
    Installation has borked my system three times, obliging me to restore my C: drive from backup image.
    Support tool doesn't identify any problems.
    From the posts I've read, it would appear Acrobat is the problem. I'd like to try once more with CS3 Acrobat uninstalled, but it doesn't appear to have its own uninstaller. My difficulties typify two problems I've seen in other software in the last year. Vista compatibility sometimes breaks XP apps, and has been one of the principal reason XP testing has become less through than it should be (I have XP Pro system). Also, monolithic installers that try to do a dozen things at once are failure prone. These often have cleanup scripts written after the fact, and those get even less rigorous testing than the installers whose flaws they are trying to fix.
    I had a CS3 issue when it was first introduced. My call was fielded promptly by a U.S. based technician who provided a solution in less than a minute... (This is where the part appeared that I suspect got my submission bounced the last time.)
    Since previous post, I've killed another evening for nothing. I'd like one question answered; the KBs say that cleanup script leaves CS3 in working condition, but the first thing it asks permission to do is remove CS3 from the system. Does it in fact do this? I have no way of knowing since I've had to restore from image backups both times I ran it, and I can ill afford to have neither version working.

    Hi William-
    I am sorry you are having trouble getting up and running.
    As Bob/Peter have said we put a lot of effort into improving the installer experience in CS4 but there is some issue going on that I would like to help you resolve.
    Have you tried the "Adobe Support Advisor" tool?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/
    This tool looks at your install log and helps direct you to a specific Tech Doc if there is a known issue flagged. It also helps package up your installation log which the support folks may beed to help troubleshoot the issue
    Regarding...
    "At bare minimum, I would have expected to have been assigned a case number by now, to have been told how common my issue(s) were, and given some idea of how likely it would be that a fix would be forthcoming. So far, after two long telephone calls, one to Customer Service and one to Technical Support, all I have learned is that installation issues are quite common. I am still waiting for a case number for these issues, submitted via web two days ago, and I have been unable to learn how high a priority has been assigned to real fixes or workarounds. "
    When you talked to Customer Support/Tech Support you should get a case number. If you can send me the case number(s) I can help you get this escalated.

  • Grab Tool Issue with CS4 crimping Workflow, Solution?

    Hi, I've been a consistent Photoshop user for the past 10 years and have upgraded to CS4 about 9 months ago.
    I have an issue where I can't (spacebar-> grab tool) to move my image around without zooming in first.  If the side of the image is not being clipped by the window your working in the grab tool will not work.  I haven't found a way to turn this off.
    I figured I would get used to this but I'm still running into it every day. Instead I've noticed myself just automatically pulling the window off the top bar and grabbing the edge to shrink it so I can actually move myself around.
    I see no possible reason why they changed the functionality of the grab tool...unless they assume that every photoshop user has two monitors, one for pallettes and one for the working image?  Even then why would they have collapsible pallettes?
    It is THE most frustrating things I've ever experienced since I've used photoshop.
    Is there a setting or option that I'm missing?

    Thanks Mylenium, I hope your not right!  But you probably are...  I've asked everyone at work what they do about it and most don't use spacebar as a shortcut so it hasn't been much of an issue for them, though they do all admit they grab windows off the top bar right away and move pallettes/windows with their mouse when needed, but that's just a supream waste of time and effort when you can just quickly spacebar grab and throw.  Plus I like keeping my pallettes in the same places so I know where to look when working.
    My other friend whos employed elsewhere has the same problem as me and actually went back to CS3 because he couldn't use his spacebar shortcut the same way. 

  • Pentax K-X issues with CS4 (MJPEG codec)

    Just got my Pentax K-X and I'm really liking the footage it's able to produce.
    I haven't found a great workflow, though, for using it with PPro CS4.  If I import the .avi files as-is, they show up in Premiere with seemingly no issues.  When I try to play them back, though, only a couple of frames show up (it stays on one frame even though the audio keeps going, and if I scrub I get a 2nd frame but nothing else).
    I installed the MainConcept Mpeg HD 4 trial as suggested by several forums on a Google search, but now whenever I import the video all I see is black.
    The best workaround I've found so far is to open the original .avi with Quicktime Pro and re-save it as a .mov - this takes a couple minutes per clip, which is much better than capturing a HDV tape, but I'd really like to just drag-and-drop these things and start editing.
    Any advice from K-X users or even users of the K7 / D90 / etc.?
    Also, what's the best way to setup my sequences for this type of video?
    Thanks!

    You dont want the MainConcept Mpeg HD 4 but the Mainconcept Motion Jpeg plugin.

    Works like a charm on D90 footage.
    Project settings need to be the same as the footage.

  • CS5 update date issue with CS4 Student Licensing version

    Before downloading the Flash Pro CS5 update, from Adobe's web-site, I called Adobe and asked this question, " Will the Flash Pro CS5 upgrade work with my Student Licensing version?"  The answer I received (after being put on hold), was "Yes, the CS5 upgrade will work with my version of CS4."
    However...after paying for and downloading the Flash Pro CS5, I am finding that it is not working. The serial number asked for, from my version of CS4, comes up as being not valid.
    Any suggestions as to resolving this issue would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

  • Having an issue with CF9 installation

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install CF9 on my computer but I'm having a problem once the installation has completed and it gets to the Administrator and Migration part (the part where it opens a browser). I enter in the admin password and click ok and then it goes on to the page that says the server is being configured. There's a note that says this may take a few minutes but after waiting 10-15, I get a timeout error that says the request is exceeding the allowable time limit. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've tried re-installing and changing installation options but nothing works.
    On a separate note, after the installation completes I get a Jrun4 process in the Windows Task Manager and it completely hogs my computers memory. After a few minutes it will be using around 500mb of memory and the computer is unusable because of how long it takes to respond to every click.
    Please help!
    Here are my computer's stats:
    (All system requirements filled)
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 1.9 GHz
    959 MB RAM
    32 - bit operation system
    My default browser is Google Chrome and that's what it uses when it goes through this problem. I've tried manually running the Administrator link with IE and firefox and I get the same problems.
    My computer is a HP Compaq Presario F700 Notebook PC and its about 2 years old although running well, maybe its just not up to running CF9?
    Thanks for any help,
    Alex

    Ok, I edited the config file so that line now reads:
    java.args=-server -Xmx240m ......
    and that worked so now Jrun is manageable for my computer. Thanks!
    Once I got the CF server started, I ran the Administrator page and once I entered my password it just stayed on that page until it timed out. It never went to the next page where it says please wait while the server is configured. Here is the time out error:
    and the command window shows:
    Did I limit the heap size too much?
    I also noticed one other thing that I thought might be important when I first ran cfstart.bat. It says "warning Unable to open ......". I have no idea if this means anything but just in case, I'm posting a screenshot of it. Its the 3rd line in the command window:
    Any more ideas?

  • Performance issue with multiple installations of 1 application in 1 databas

    In our company we use JD Edwards. Every branch has its own JD Edwards installation in a separate schema but in the same database (Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7.0) => In 1 database there are 10-20 copies of each table.
    On top of JD Edwards we are developing a Java/JSP application which accesses the JD Edwards data by means of pl/sql stored functions returning ref_cursors. Our DBA states we have to prefix all our tables/views within our stored functions for performance reasons. According to him omitting the schema name would result in increase of hard parses, because the shared_pool can only store 1 occurrence of an sql statement. So only the statement of 1 branch is cached. The execution of the same statement in anothers schema would lead to a hard parse and not to a soft parse.
    For us developers the use of schema names complicates the development process, because we have to use a substitution parameter (&schema_name) in our coding which prevents us from maintaining our code in tools like Toad.
    Questions
    * Does it make sense to use the schema name in this case?
    * Is there another way (not using schema names) to get a good performance in this situation?
    Thanks,
    Matthieu de Graaf

    1) I'm not a JD Edwards person, but I would wager that if you're to the point where you have consolidated all the schemas to a single instance that it would be possible and preferrable to consolidate everything further into a single schema. I have to believe that JD Edwards provides tools to restrict what bits a particular branch can see without requiring separate instances.
    2) What data are you accessing exactly? Are you always accessing data for a particular branch? Or do you need information from every branch?
    3) Is your application logging in as a single user? Or will there be 1 application user for every JD Edwards schema?
    4) Are you deploying your PL/SQL into 10-20 different schemas? Or into just 1?
    Whether or not you are explicitly using the schema name, Oracle will have to do a hard parse of every logically distinct SQL statement. Two SQL statements that access different tables that happen to share the same name are logically distinct, so your shared pool will end up with 10-20 copies of the "SELECT * FROM <<some table name>>" SQL statement if it is executed against every instance of <<some table name>>.
    The question may be whether it is better to explicitly provide the schema name or to rely on synonyms. You generate the same number of hard parses either way, but explicit schema names may improve latch contention during parses if Oracle has to do a lot of synonym resolution. Not many people/ applications are really hurt by this latch contention, though, so it is very hard to say whether this is a legitimate concern.
