Adobe CS3  multiple problems

Product Name: Bridge CS3
Operating system: Intel Dual Core
Kind: PC
4ghz Ram
Problem 1: When I open bridge CS3 I get this message:
This application requires an Intel Pentium 4
Intel Celeron, Intel Core duo or intel core 2
compatible processor. ( 0/6/5898 )
As mentionned in this message, I have a Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz
4gRam
Windows Vista 64 bit operating sys
I don't know why I get this warning when I open my Bridge CS3.
Plus I tried to uninstall and reinstall, it didn't make a difference.
I tried to install it in the 64 Bit program files(not the program filesx86)
and it installs it back to program files x86, wich is 32bit.
Problem 2: I don't know how to attach an image in the thread, but my Preview window in Bridge CS3 is messed up, as if the *interactive sector*
of the preview image where you can click and zoom on any picture, was moved 1/3 on the right out of my computer screen. ( If I could upload an image it would be easier to understand ) Is there a way to put all the settings of BRIDE CS3 to Default by deleting backup files or something ?
Problem 3: In Bridge CS3 I cannot open CAMERA RAW by pressing ctrl+r, bridge doesn't react to my command, but it does for any other commande so it's not a keyboard problem because I can use the ctrl+c and v to copy in paste in photoshop. The only way to open Camera Raw is to double click on a RAW image, but what if I want to open a JPEG ? I searched for a `open` key in CAMERA RAW but I didn't see how I could open an image when Camera Raw was active.
I posted in Photoshop since it seems as an overall problem with Adobe Photoshop and other programs.
Thank You for you time.

Adobe says to ignore problem 1. System has hard time identifying processors, but it will not affect performance.
Problem 2. Most of the problems with preview and slideshow function is with the video card. Have updated drivers and if that does not work go to advanced preferences and check "use software rendering".
Problem 3. If you right click on image and select "open in camera raw" does that work? If you double click an image it should open it in the native format, whether it is in RAW, Jpeg, tiff, etc.. Don't know why Ctrl + r does not work, in fact until now I never knew that was an option to open an image in camera RAW, I always right clicked.
Not sure what you are getting at with "open JPEG with RAW active".

  • Adobe CS3 Extended - problem w Bridge - picture displayed wrong in Horrizontal Filmstrip mode

    Recently started have problems with Adobe Bridge (CS3 Extended) after it did an automatic update from Adobe for my CS3. The problem is that the panel where the picture appears in "Horrizontal Filmstrip" is now positioned to the far right - partially off the screen; plus, whatever action done previously is showing through the panel area where the picture should have been. Doing "refresh" does not help.
    Tried to reinstall the whole program but the problem did not go away.  Then uninstalled the whole Adobe CS3 suite (which includes Bridge); then reloaded the probram; and, then the problem went away. As soon as I downloaded the updates from Adobe again, the problem reappeared. Anyone no what to do?

    Did you try to reset the preferences by holding down the ctrl key and starting Bridge?   You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
    A re-install will not affect this file so if contaminated before it will be contaminated after.
    Also, make sure you have the latest video driver, as this affects the filmstrip mode.

  • Adobe CS3 installation problem in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

    I cannot install Adobe CS3 Production Premium in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (fresh clean install). I have tried everything, including turning off the anti-virus software. It just pops up asking if I want to allow the installer to make changes to Windows, etc and when I click yes it just closes and does nothing... Has anyone been able to get CS3 installed in Windows 7?
    The only reason I have a fresh install is because my Ultra CS3 that I had loaded in addition to CS4 package timed out after 30 days and I really need to get access to Ultra CS3 to finish this project. I was planning installing just one app (maybe Photoshop CS3) from the CS3 install so that I can enter my CS3 Production Premium reg info in the system so tat Ultra CS3 will work. I can just start over and do another 30 days with the Ultra in DEMO mode (it does not tell you it's running in demo mode by the way!) and finish this project, but I was looking for a more permanent solution. Once I put CS4 back on, the CS3 package installed over it...
    Does anyone knw what to do in this situation? i.e. Could I install it into a Windows XP Pro 32-bit edition and perform and UPGRADE to Windows 7?
    Has anyone else ran into this inability to install CS3 in Windows 7? I am running the CS3 install from the Adobe folder on the desktop that it maes when you run the files downloaded from Adobe.com - I get nothing. The task manager shows something open for a split second and then closes right away?! This is very frustrating.  I have even run the CS3 clean script just in case. Any help would be appreciated!

    i had issues installing cs4 products, my reponse to others with cs4 issues may help you:
    i see 216 others have posted questions on this issue on this forum from searching "setup.exe", including myself, so i'm just responding to the recent ones.
    i recently downloaded trails of flash cs4 and web premium package cs4 (took a day to download at high speed starbuck's internet). couldnt get the setup.exe to work or the uninstaller to work. surfing tech support over next couple weeks to try various agents was useless and expensive until i finally reached someone with useful info. all the agents had foriegn accents and read from scripts and web support pages until yesterday, when i reached a guy who told me two things i'll report to various forums addressing this same issue:
    1. download the "windows install clean up" program from window's website (google: windows install cleanup) to uninstall everything adobe. then go through your folders to erase any adobe remnants. this program is different from the uninstaller that doesnt work in the programs and features area of the control panel when you try to uninstall adobe products from there.
    2. windows explorer 8, the newest version, DOES NOT download adobe software properly and leaves things out, causing all sorts of issues including the setup.exe program not working. download firefox browser from mozella (google: firefox) and use it for all adobe downloads. apparently the old windows explorer 7 will work, but if you already have explorer 8 installed its easiest to just use firefox.
    i'm spending the next couple days downloading the 4.14 G web premium trail with firefox and will report if this works.

  • Adobe cs3 photshop problems booting up program

    Photoshop 3 keeps crashing while trying to boot up.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success
    to cure the issue. The crash happens right after the
    text pops up: BUILDING MARK TWAIN
    Also, tried downloads on adobe support with no
    luck.
    Using powerbook G4
    10.4.11
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Look for and disable the TWAIN plug-in and disable it by putting a tilde ~ in front of its file name. It conflicts with poorly written scanner drivers, most notably with certain Epson models.
    [In CS4 the TWAIN plug-in doesn't even get installed in a default installation of Photoshop.]
    Then use the scanner's stand-alone software or a scanning utility like VueScan or SilverFast to scan outside of Photoshop. It's much more efficient, as you can continue to work in Photoshop while you scan.
    Incidentally, there are a gazillion posts on this subject, which can find by doing a forum search.
    It should be in the FAQs too, but if it's not, the powers that be can put a remedy to that.

  • Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

    Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

  • OSX 10.5.4: Still the same problems with Adobe CS3 files

    I updated to OS X 10.5.4 on a latest generation 24" iMac with Adobe CS3 on it. This is the only Mac with 10.5 installed in a publishing company with 10 Macs, all with Adobe CS3 and all working always with files on the same file server. The other 9 Macs have OS X 10.4 installed.
    The iMac with 10.5 had massive problems with CS3 files since OS X 10.5.2 - frequently existing Photoshop files disappeared from the server after the "Save" command, frequently "Save As" was not possible in Photoshop, sometimes Indesign crashed when files were getting saved on the server - none of this is happening on the other Macs with OS X 10.4.
    On the first couple of days with 10.5.4 at least in Photoshop exactly the same problems: Existing files disappear from the server after the "Save" command, "Save As" is often times not possible.
    It's a shame!

    Hi
    Why don't you try updating with the larger installer, the combo updater. The combo updater is generally more helpful when troubleshooting a problem.

  • Problem with Adobe CS3

    Hello,
    several years ago I have had the product Adobe CS3 Design Premium installed on my PC. This is a purchased license student version. The problem with software features occurred a few days ago because I reinstalled my PC. Of course, I first deactivated Adobe. Now, after reactivation, however, do not work as should. I do not understand why?
    The problem is in every program, for example in Adobe Photoshop tool icons are not displayed correctly - one tool appears three times next to each. Next in Adobe Indesign I can´t click every window and change the character - every window doesn´t react to every click. And next problem is Adobe Indesign do not display sharply, everything I see in this program is blurred and difficult to read.
    Thank You very much for your answer.

  • Adobe CS3 and MacBook Pro: any problems?

    i am about to purchase a new 15" macbook pro and adobe cs3.
    has anyone experienced problems or issues with cs3 running on their macbook pro?
    thanks!

    Hi,
    I have purchased CS3 and I have a G5 Tower and a MBP dual 2 core (bought it 2 months ago)
    Let me tell you that I am very unpleased with CS3 on both machines.
    On the G5 it is 10 times slower than CS1 for some reason it takes a lot of processing power and RAM wich the G5 does poorly.
    On the MBP it processes fine but I only have 1 Gig of RAM and I feel that I don't have enough. Plus it doesn't help that a laptop HD is slower at opening files so it really makes it look like it runs slow...I should of bought the 24in imac instead due to the fact that it doesn't cost 900$ to buy a extra 2 Gigs of RAM
    and the HD is faster
    PM G5 Dual Ghz, MBP C2D 2.16 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)

  • Problems installing Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' after a clean install of Windows 8

    When trying to re-install Adobe CS3 'Web Standard' Autoplay does not initiate install of application.

    Well, does it launch manually? Win 8 suppresses auto-starts by default for "risky" files like installers...

  • Adobe CS3 problems in Leopard

    I have 2 Intel Macs running Leopard 10.5.2: A Mac Pro Quad 2.5, and a brand new MacBook Pro 17" 2.5Ghz.
    On both machines, a clean install of Adobe CS3 Master Collection results in several errors:
    PremierePro and Soundbooth both report "This application is not supported on this architecture".
    Illustrator updates "are unable to install at this time".
    Any suggestions?

    As far as I know there are updates needed for some of the CS3 apps (like Soundbooth) in order to work with Leopard. These aren't yet available. You might want to read this:

  • Adobe CS3 Windows 7 Pro 64bit Issues

    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64bit Edition after my system crashed.
    I installed Adobe CS3 without a problem and it ran fine for a little while. Then one
    day I started up Photoshop and then it just stopped working. So I decided to uninstall
    it and reinstall it. When I started the installation, it halted and asked for this Adobe.dll file
    so it complete. I clicked cancel and it aborted.
    I have read many of the forums and they all suggest downloading a file or windows xp mode
    or virtual pc.
    I have downloaded the file that it needs and it still aborts the installation. I have downloaded
    windows xp mode and installed it succesfully but I have no wish to use this software virtually
    because it is limited in the amount of memory it can use and seems to be a bit sluggish
    regardless of how much memory I allow it to have access to. I also have no access to my second
    monitor.
    Now that I have tried to install cs3 on multiple occasions, i now have to call Adobe so I can have
    them reactive my copy. Adobe has to have some sort of work around or patch for this
    because I cant forsee spending another grand for an upgrade to solve my problem.
    Here is my system specs:
    HP Pavilion M8530f
    AMD Phenom 9550 X4 Quad-Core processor 2.2 gigahertz
    7 gigabytes memory
    ATI Radeon HD 5750 Video card
    2 monitors
    2 terrabyte hard drive

    I am hoping its not because this a serious waste of having a 64 bit system if it is. do you know if this may be cause by a certain release version of cs3? i can imagine why any software would ask me to locate adobepdf.dll when it find itself on the cd. this is very puzzling. i have eliminated the video card, hard drive, and processor. frankly, i don't think i should work so hard to figure out how to eliminate a software especially when i paid so much money for it. if adobe doesn't find a solution, i guess i will have to find some other software that gets the job done without all these head aches.

  • CS3 reinstall problem - asking for uninstalled CS4 beta

    I have a PowerBook G4 with 1.5 Gb RAM running Mac OS 10.4.11. I have the CS3 Suite installed and last year downloaded a beta copy of Fireworks CS4. After using it a bit, I uninstalled Fireworks CS4 with the Adobe uninstaller.
    I recently had a problem with Bridge and decided to uninstall and reinstall the software. I uninstalled Photoshop CS3 (in order to uninstall Bridge) and when I began to reinstall Photoshop, the installer ask me to insert the Fireworks CS4 disk! Since I don't have that disk, I hit cancel and the install terminated (I tried this multiple times and rebooted each time)
    I then downloaded and ran Adobe's CS4 Cleanup app. It found NO CS4 apps to clean up.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Mark

    Thanks Neil and Buko for your input. Here's where things stand now:
    1) I uninstalled FW CS4
    2) I uninstalled CS3
    3) I ran Cleanup Script
    4) I repaired permissions using Disk First Aid
    5) I reinstalled CS3
    The problems with Bridge remained (sluggish, won't display icons properly, won't show a preview image, won't operate the folder list, etc.).
    So I called Adobe support. Unfortunately, because I am having problems installing CS3 and NOT CS4, support is NOT FREE. The rep was helpful though -- she pointed me to document number 331594 (Diagnosing Bridge problems) and told me to start there. I followed EVERY step . . . disable start-up scripts, reverted to original preferences, cleaned up the cache, disabled the folder windows, and the problems remain.
    Guess I'll have to pay . . .
    Lesson learned: don't trial Adobe software. That's when my problems began.

  • Adobe CS3 deactivation limits

    I am quoting a very interesting article from Macfixit. May be of use to quite a few CS3 users
    Adobe CS3 deactivation limits
    Adobe's Creative Suite 3 imposes a limit of 20 deactivations per license. This is causing problems for users of cloned backups. MacFixIt reader Dee Dee Martin writes:
    "I always try to remember to deactivate Adobe CS3 before cloning a backup, but yesterday (along with numerous other times) I forgot so I booted up from my clone, ran Photoshop and tried to deactivate. I got a big dialog box saying "Deactivation Failed" error code 194:14, call Adobe tech support.
    "I was told there is a limit (21 times) that I could deactivate CS3 and I had reached that limit. Adobe made a 'one time exception' and restored my activation count (yes Adobe tracks this stuff), but I would have to completely erase CS3 (using level 3 of their CS3Clean script) obliterating all prefs, settings, tools, printer profiles etc."
    There doesn't seem to be a workable solution for this issue at present.

    Actually I did use the phone number on the program's notice screen. The auto system of coarse would not work as I had 2 activations going on the software. (One of which was on the old hard drive from broken system. So, there was no way to de-activate that instance without hours of fun with hardware.)
    My "error" was not realizing that the installed CS3 products are essentially tied the the hard drive on which they are installed. Actually a combination of the hard drive and motherboard, etc.
    I had cloned the old hard drive's partitions to my new hard drive. All attached to the new motherboard. So it was all effectively the same OS system. Even the XP system did not require reactivation. (Though this was probably because about 2 weeks earlier XP had prompted for reactivation when I moved my boot hard drive to IDE channel 2 as IDE channel 1 had failed on the old motherboard.)
    I suppose I could have dug the case out from under my desk. Detached the new hard drive, re-attach the old drive and booted. Then spend an hour loading drivers and updates to XP in order to connect to the internet and deactivate Photoshop and Illustrator on the old hard drive. Turns out that might have been faster than my call to Adobe turned out to be.
    Of coarse this fun all started over the weekend when I had time to do the hardware changes. I had effectively been nursing the half dead motherboard for 2 weeks before I had a free weekend to do the hardware swap in the first place. Hadn't occurred to me that the CS3 installs would need reactivation as it was the same OS license and installation just moved to new hard drive and motherboard, or I would would have deactivated first.
    Adobe's activation screen/notice required action within 6 or 7 days, not 30. I of coarse could have just fired up my laptop and de-activated it. But, then I would still have an instance that could not be de-activated from my end. Adobe had to do the de-activation on their end.
    My thoughts on a better activation system. Tie it to the OS instance, not to hardware. Does that mean a savvy user could bypass. Sure. But, users of pirated software are bypassing already with less trouble.
    Activation limits: they violate the basic Adobe user license agreement. The way that agreement reads, there should be no reason a user could not swap their second installed instance between a home computer and laptop multiple times a week.
    Such a scenario is not that far fetched. An independent graphic artist could easily have an office, and home computer. But, occasionally need to work on the road with a laptop. Should he have to have 2 licenses to switch between his occasional use of his home computer and laptop? Adobe's activation limits say yes, although the the license effectively says no, one license covers that usage. Section 2.4 of license does not say "personal use" it says "exclusive use".
    From Photoshop CS3 license:
    "2.4 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.5 below, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer. You may be required to contact Adobe in order to make a second copy."
    Frankly I have done just that over the years with earlier versions (AI8, PS 6). Had a primary workstation at the office. Had one at home that I used occasionally for business "midnight calls" and for practice/trying new features, etc. But, also as the same primary user I had the software on a laptop so that I could work remotely on my occasional road trips, vacations, etc. There was never anyone using the software other than myself. But, it was on all 3 computers.
    I don't see where that violates the words or spirit of section 2.4 of the license agreement (CS3).
    Earlier license for Photoshop 6, effectively stated the same:
    "2.4. Home Use. You, as the primary user of the computer on which the Software is installed, may also install the Software on one of your home computers. However, the Software may not be used on your home computer at the same time the Software on the primary computer is being used."
    Not using concurrently is understood.
    Enough said for now.

  • Leopard and Adobe CS3 products

    I was wondering if any of you had issues once an Adobe CS3 line of products were installed.
    For instance, right now my iTunes refuses to force quite, there is no iTunes window, but the "application active" dot is still on in the dock...
    After running multiple CS3 simutaneously, I find the apps crashing or having to force quit.
    I've recently re-installed Leopard without an extra install options, ie, printer drivers, languages....
    Maybe a PRAM re-start? Whadda ya think?
    D

    "...Dreamweaver has always...had some memory...issues, and tends to effect my system..."
    I use DW CS3 almost constantly and have had absolutely no issues with it under both 10.4 and 10.5. I also used DW MX for years but I was not aware of any memory problems. Having said that, I would not recognize a "memory leak" if it hit me on the back of the head so I don't know how to advise you on that score. I have always been a "more is better" type when it comes to RAM and tend to run at least 50% of what the system will support. My Mac Pro has eight gigs so maybe I would not notice if some "leaked"....
