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.

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 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 Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Lightroom suddenly stopped while I was working in it. I got the Windows message "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working.

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.

Without the actual crash logs nobody can say, but chances are that your graphics hardware is to blame, so update the driver...

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.

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
