CS3 Extended - TEXT error coming up

Error reads -
Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized !
I have tried it a variety of ways, opened photoshop and reopened with no luck with using text.
Any one have this same issue and have any ideas to how to fix it?
I downloaded the trial version of CS3 extended.
Just trying to type over an image for copyright, just a standard jpeg image file.
Frustrating ! Help........... :P
Thanks

I just began getting this error also. It started when I installed Audition 2.0 (if that has anything to do with it) I noticed Premiere Pro began acting strangely, so I reinstalled that, now Premiere won't start at all. Then I noticed Photoshop behaving strangely. I've tried repairing Photoshop CS3, did not work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS3. Did not work. I can't place text on any image, even a new one. This is really frustrating.

CS3 Extended activation error 194:8

So I bought a legit copy o photoshop
Albeit I bouhgt it from ebay, but it is definitely legit - not pirated , but a mfr sealed professionally produced copy of CS3 extended
I popped it open and found what I expected the documentation the DVD case with the training video and the serial number on the back.
I installed CS3 extended and plugged in my serial number and was greeted with a shiny green check mark (please note this is not just some generic photoshop liscence it is recognized by the software itself).
Then I began the activation nightmare that I am currently having.
I clicked activate
Activate now
Then I got an error telling me to pease try activating by calling customer care.
I did that I went through the automated system with m serial numberand activation key and then it said it was unable to process so I retried. Still no luck, then I got a live person on the phone.
Here is what they told me:
You do not have a valid serial number...
Odd, I thought, since your software recognized it as a valid liscence. I tried it in several other photoshop programs only to be greeted by a red x (liscence invalid) so the serial number I have is legit for photoshop CS3 extended, it just won't activate.
I tried to tell them that. I asked them what proof they needed from me barcode copy of serial number scan of packaging anything.
They told me I needed the reciept from an authorized reseller.
I'm afraid I didn't see in the liscence agreement where the agreement between provider and end user was limited by their distributorship.
Thank you to me too for buyinga legitimate copy and not going with a free alternative (paint.net as been fine in the past thank you).
So I continued the discussion until I finally asked for a supervisor who was slightly more willing to talk about a way we could resolve the activation problem.
I am stuck getting the original reciept from the seller to prove to Adobe that their product was in fact original purchased from them. You have to be kidding???!!!?!?!
It is unactivated so we aren't even talking about a liscence transfer this product is supposed to be registered to me.
And that still doesn't answer the question of how the serial number is recognized by the software and installation (meaning the serial to DVD matches) and the customer service people claim it is not valid. I even asked them to tell me if it was a liscence used as a known pirated copy or something that should invalidate it, but all they can tell me is that it is not valid for the product.
If that is the case why print it on the label and affix it to the software?
On the other hand perhaps it is just a database error on their part.
What if I bought it from london drugs and lost the reciept how woul they handle that.
There has to be a way to fix it, or is it really that they are unwilling to do anything for a customer.

To quote from that particular forum:
29. Mar 29, 2008 9:59 AM in response to: Bob Levine
Re: Thinking of buying from eBay?
Some of the pirated versions have a hacked activation and registration system that makes it look like it is being activated or registered with Adobe when it isn't. If you use the Adobe registration system, you will get a confirmation screen that says there will be a followup email with a free bonus (font or training video) -- although the email sometimes comes months later. Do you remember getting that screen and the email offer?
At least one f the two copies got that far, so what I am guessing is that one copy is a fake and one is legit, or there is a problem with legit copies printed in singapore due to piracy and or a mfr defect.
It still baffles me that accepting the liscence agreement activating the product and registering it do not gaurantee that it is in fact legitmate. I think after all those hoops the ownes once again should lie with Adobe I did everything in good faith to ensure I have a legitimate copy. (Sans buying from adobe or the local london drugs.)
Perhaps the seller will replace my "defective copy" or whatever you want to call it, or maybe in his batch of legitimate copies he did inadvertantly end up with a well produced pirated copy.
Still reading that forum. I am very interested
And yes I did send an email to adob piracy containing as much info about the suspected "illegal" copy as possible.
I'm prepared to cover the bses and worst case scenario I file a dispute with paypal and then purchase a second copy directly from Adobe I am in any event entitled to educational liscenced products which save me a bundle as is.

CS3 Extended Plugin Error Message

I'm trying to write a 3D file format plugin for PS CS3 Extended, and whenever I remove
a certain plugin, U3D.8BI, from the Plug-Ins directory, I always get the error message:
"Could not complete the New Layer From 3D File command because of a program error."
when trying to add a new 3D layer with any plugin (.3ds, .dae, .obj, etc..)
Why is this particular plugin required to be in the Plug-Ins directory?
It seems like nothing will work if it isn't in there.
Is this a bug?

InDesign CS3 Feathering/Text Error

I am experiencing a strange error when I feather a photo placed in my InDesign CS3 file.
If I feather it in Photoshop and keep a transparent background (PSD or EPS) and don't flatten the image, or if I feather the image directly in Indesign CS3 using the object effects, it causes the font to appear differently (almost thinner).
As soon as I delete the image or flatten the transparency in Photoshop, the font goes back to normal.
Is there a way around this? I'd ultimately like to use the feathering effect directly in InDesign.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

The use of transparency affects the screen draw in ID, though I've never seen type get thinner, only heavier. This is a known issue, and there is currently nothing you can do to change it. You may continue to see the difference on-screen or in print on a desktop device, but it generally doesn't make it into print on a press.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extend Error

"Could not load the user measurement data point presets file because the file name was not valid."
and "Could not load the user measurement scale presets file because the file name was not valid."
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when starting Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended- XP Pro AMD; 2GB RAM

I have exhausted all known options thus far.
I started the Flexnet Licensing Service and restarted the system but the message continues to come up when lanching PS CS3 extended
After restarting computer the Flexnet Licensing Service stops again and goes into Manual mode. This also happens after a few minutes without restarting.
I also downloaded the Flexnet Licensing Recovery Kit from Adobe Support but the file stops after saying "please wait for a few moments.. ?"
I changed the setting as discribed for the Flexnt folder but the message continues to come up when PS Extended CS3 is launced.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html
What else is there to do. Please help me as what I can do so I can continue to use Photoshop CS3 Extended.
Thank you

I downloaded the clean Script file and followed the instructions from what the Clean Script read Me file described. The first step said to deactivate. Although I was not able to deactivate because of my original message, I followed the remaining steps.
After using the Clean Script and uninstalling Photoshop CS3 Extended and re-installing it I re-booted my computer. I also deleted the CS3 Application data files.
When I installed PS CS3 Extended the installer does not ask for the serial number on all attemps. I bought a registered copy of PS CS3 Extended. Is there another way to approch this licensing error.
Thanks.

I have a new laptop and I am trying to download CS3. The site on adobe gives an error message and the one I tried from this forum downloaded CS3 extended, so my serial number does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Regards Vicki

Hi,
I have a new laptop and I am trying to download CS3. The site on adobe gives an error message and the one I tried from this forum downloaded CS3 extended, so my serial number does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Regards Vicki

The trial is always extended. The serial number you enter determines whether it runs as standard or extended.
I'm getting through fine with that link, so it must be a browser issue or some such thing. Try another browser.

Photoshop CS3 Extended error on load

Photoshop CS3 Extended
Windows 7 with all updates current
Error message on load 'could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error'
I'm running:
intel core i5
16 GB RAM
148 GB free on drive C
698 GB free on Drive D
465 GB free on drive E
465 GB free on drive F
2 DVD-R drives
All updates to Photoshop were installed last time I ran it with no problems.
No new hardware has been installed since.
Installed Classic Shell since last use, so I uninstalled it but the error persists.
Installed Diet Tracker but they don't interfere with each on on the system at home so I know there's no problem there.
Nothing else installed except Windows updates.
I tried restoring back to the last time I used it . . . still got the error, so undid the restore.
I tried repairing Photoshop . . . no change.
I uninstalled Photoshop, rebooted, installed Photoshop. it loaded slower then and the last thing I saw load was plugins then something about Python and then the error again.
When I try to open the program, it goes so fast that I can't see what's loaded and where it stops now.
I searched for like problems . . . found one that they found was caused by a sound driver on an ASUS board but it was different. I tried rolling back the sound driver anyway and it didn't fix it so I updated it again. There was a reference to check the Event Viewer which I know nothing about but I tried it anyway . . . found nothing.
Any help will be appreciated or if you know a way to debug the load or slow it down to see what it's trying to load please clue me in. Thank you for any help.

O, OK . . . didn't solve the problem anyway. I am sorry I can't figure this out on my own instead of taking up everyone else's time. Downloading and installing 12.6
New driver installed but this did not resolve problem; still getting the error message when trying to load the program
FIRST!!! I want to thank everyone for your help . . .
While waiting for another idea, out of casual curiosity because I hate Win 7, I right clicked the ocn for PS and checked the list of options. Since this was a reinstall, I clicked on the Troubleshoot Compatibility out of curiosity . . . got a choice to Try recommened settings or Troubleshoot programs; I clicked on the 'Try recommended settings' . . . it came up with recommendation of XP Pro setting and I clicked on it and up came PS and installed some more stuff.
I am sure this can't be the right answer or it would have never worked in the original install, but it worked for the re-install and that gets me up and running for the time being . . . now to further test and make sure it's working right.

Photoshop CS3 extended error on Installation("A Problem occurred while extracting some files....

Hi guys. I dont know if youve experienced this but I get this error whenever I try to install Photoshop CS3 Extended. The error popup message goes like this:
"A Problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder."
Any idea? :(
thanks in advanced.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.
where is the file to download it directly?
With CS3, there might not be one any longer. CS4 has been out for some time. You might need to contact Adobe Customer Service for resolution. I know that they offer replacement media for a small fee, but do not know how far back they go with the versions.
For me, I always purchase the full discs, and from Adobe, so I have little experience with downloaders and with the downloadable files. Maybe someone else can offer you more direct assistance.
Good luck,
Hunt

Error message opening PS CS3 Extended : "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

I used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my (very) old Mac OS X to a new iMac OS X Yosemite. Before doing so, I uninstalled my (also very old) PS CS3 Extended. When I tried to open PS on the new Mac it asked me to download Java, which I did. But now when trying to open PS again the error message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I purchased it about 5 years ago in a box which I no longer have, but I do have the complete 24 digit serial number. How best do I remedy this?

Download the Photoshop CS3 installer Max or PC here. You should be good to go.
