Creative Suite 4 Master Collection Install issue

Hi,
Hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem...
I have a brand new copy of CS4 Master Collection which I shelled out a lot of money but I am having problems getting past the first minute or so on the first install DVD!!
I keep getting an error that says 'SYSTEM ALERT' The Minimum System requirements are not met'
I am running Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 on a laptop with 2GB Ram and 1.73Ghz.
1) Adobe state that 2Ghz is the minimum. Is this pretty strict or do you think I should be okay with the 1.73Ghz I currently have? Could this be one issue as to why the requirements are not met?
2) I have removed all adobe products such as Acrobat, Flash Player, Flash Plug Ins, Adobe InDesign CS2 etc. Do I need to remove Photoshop 7.0, Dreamweaver MX and Flash MX too or are these not affected due to being original Marcomedia Products?
I am not too sure why Adobe CS4 seems to think my requirements are not met??
Can anyone shed any light on this? Am I missing something obvious?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

Thanks both
Karen - Yes, Vista Home Premuim
Bob - i had to edit my last post on here as I did think I had SP1 installed but I am starting to think that I actually don't!!
I checked my Windows Updates and it seems that SP1 updates since July 2008 have failed to install properly.
When I check my system info it doesn't list SP1 anywhere on my PC.
Anyway, I downloaded the Readiness Update file and ran that. All went fine. I then downloaded the 455Mb SP1 file and can't seem to get past the first 10mins of that. I just get an error 0x800B0100
So, as it stands I cannot install SP1 and CS4 stays lonely and unused in it's packaging :-(
Any other ideas? Or is this something I really need to take up with the people at Microsoft/Vista?
Cheers

  • I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

      Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

    When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
    You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
    Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

  • How to install creative suite 5 master collection?

    I am having two files of Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection[Windows] -
    1) Disk1.iso - 7.09 GB [7.09 GB after extraction]
    2) Disk2.iso - 6.10 GB [6.17 GB after extraction]
    NOTE : I am not having the DVDs or CDs of the CS5 master collection. I am just having the files on my hard disk.
    I extracted them with WinRAR. After that I got the extracted files of both disks. I navigated to ..../...../Adobe CS5/Disk1/Adobe CS5/Set-up.exe. The Disk1 is having setup files. The Disk2 is having only a folder named 'payloads' and many folders within that too. But there is a folder with the same name on Disk1. But the 'payload' folder of Disk2 is very larger in size as compared to that of Disk1. And there is no such 'set-up.exe' file on Disk2.
    The setup (on disk1) runs perfectly. I want to install CS5 master collection completely (I mean that including all the softwares like Ps, Pr, In, Ae, etc. and all other contents). But I am wondering that how can I completely install CS5 Master Collection when only contents of one disk is installed. So, I not installed that because I wanted no problems.
    Can anyone tell me that how can I install this software completely? Do I have to copy contents of 'payloads' ( which is on disk2) to the 'payload' folder of Disk1?
    Will I require to first burn the ISO files on two separate DVD and then begin installation process? Is the Disk2 just having waste contents?
    Please tell me the whole installation process after clicking the "install" button.

    Yes, you have to copy the contents of Disk2 to Disk1 contents the way you said. Or you can follow the steps in following kb article to install the software -

    Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a  64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK  for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

    I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

    Hi,
    I try to re install the CS5 master collection that I have but this message appear :
    Beta or prerelease versions of Creative Suite 5 Master Collection are installed on the machine, and must be uninstalled before this installation can proceed. Please uninstall these products, restart your computer, then run this installer again.

    Can someone help me ?
    Thanks a lot

    Ok will you can try running the uninstaller which is located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installer.  It may not function due to the method you utilized to remove the software.  If you still have problems then you can try running the CS5 Cleanup Script - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Install problem when installing Creative Suite 6 Master collection?

    Has anybody had this problem when installing Creative suite 6 Master Collection? It says: The product you are trying to install in not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfeit. I have received the product directly from Adobe. It will validate it then start to install then stop and give me the above error. Help.

    If you are still experiencing difficulties please try copying the install files from the DVD to your desktop and try installing from there.  The error still indicates that the installation files have become compromised.  If you are installing from the DVD this could indicate either a problem with the media or your optical drive.

  • Do i need to use disks to install Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

    Hi there
    About a year ago I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection teacher and student. I have not yet installed it on my computer, but my laptop does not have a disk drive. Does anyone know if there is anywhere on the Adobe site where I can download the program totally elecronically, and enter my credentials so it registers against my serial number? Just really don't want to have to go out and buy a disk drive!!
    Thank you in advance.

    Your serial number dictates the student license... the software is otherwise the same for all licenses
    CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Can I install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection in my PC?

    Hi, I'm Kendo from Bangkok,Thailand.
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimated 64 bit
    -CPU Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz
    -RAM 4 GB
    -Graphic Card Geforce 9500 GT
    I'm afraid that Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effect won't smooth as expected because Adobe recommends 8 GB of RAM but I have only 4 GB.
    Are the Premiere Pro and After Effect will run smoothly in my PC? or I must use Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection?
    P.S. I don't want to upgrade RAM to 8 GB.

    Download the CS6 Trial version from the Adobe website and see how it runs on your system.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=master_collection
    It's free and fully functional for 30 days. After that you must purchase it or it will stop working.

  • Install Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection at Work and Home?

    Hello, I recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master
    Collection and I would like to use it at Work (95% of the time) and
    also at home 5% of the time (to learn at night), Is this allowed as
    long as I don't use it at the same time?

    You are given 2 installs. Yes, you can put one at home, and
    one at work.
    If you need to then put a copy on say, a laptop, you can do
    this as well
    - but you'd need to uninstall/unregister one of the previous
    installs.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection?

    Hello
    I have one question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I donwloaded Creative Suite 5 Master Collection Trial version and after check installer there is't  Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Why  Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro are't in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection? Becouse it's trial version or another reason?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The trial CS5 will only have the "new" applications.
    Acrobat 9, not be "new", won't be in the trial.
    Should you purchase CS5, Acrobat 9 Pro will be on the install media.
    If you download, there will be two items to obtain.
    --| CS5 suite selected/purchased
    --| Acrobat 9 Pro

  • Can't open my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection

    I have Creative Suite 6 Master Collection.   I think I must have trialled Creative Cloud at some point.  Recently, on opening, say, InDesign or Photoshop, I'm getting a menu asking me if I wish to continue with my trial or Licence this software.  I had been able to quit this menu, at which point my file would open.  Not now and on quitting, the whole programme quits.  So I went on to "licence this software" -- which I own.  It appeared to recognise me and asked for my serial number which I entered.  The programme went on to open but both InDesign and Photoshop hang before any files actually opens.  I can't afford Creative Cloud and want to work "offline" (though, of course, having access to the help info about the programmes as usual).  Chat couldn't help with this problem.  PLEASE help!  I'm trying to finish a piece of work today!
    Don't know if this is the right community! 
    Thanks in anticipation.

    You buy it and install it or use one of the free knock-offs you can find on certain websites. There is no Helvetica on Windows otherwise and there never was. That's what Arial is for...
