CS3 No Longer works (at all) after reinstall

I had a licensed version of CS3 installed on a Windows Vista 64 SP2 machine for several months when the hard drive fried.  I replaced the drive, installed Vista 64, SP2, and all patches.  I then reinstalled CS3 from the original installation disks.  It installed just fine but NONE of the programs will run.  Some bring up the first screen and hang, while others won't even load.  There are no solutions offered when you ask Windows to find a solution, and I can't find anything like this in the Adobe database.
Any ideas would really be appreciated.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times, tried turning off the firewall and all other security, but no good.
And keep in mind, the programs ran perfectly on this machine before.  The only difference now is that SP2 was installed before CS3, while before it was installed after CS3.  Doesn't seem like that should be a problem, though.
I'm at a total loss at this point.

Well, I wouldn't count on it.  I've talked to support, and while they tried to be helpful, they also mentioned that CS3 is not supported on 64 bit Vista (didn't ask about XP).  They said that many customers run it with no problem but others have had problems.  They couldn't explain why it ran before the disk change and not now, on the exact same computer (even the drive model that I swapped is the same).
They had me try the cleanup script and a clean install but no joy with that either.
They suggested going to CS4 which has native 64 bit support.  That may be my only option.

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

    hello,
    after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
    the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
    The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
    - SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

    I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
    My solution:
    Cold start with Command-v pressed.
    This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
    What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
    Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
    Anyway: my mac mini works again.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

  • After resetting all plug-ins a recently installed plugin no longer works and will not reinstall. It will not show up in the add-ons depsite saying it installed

    I recently had to reset my plugins using Firefox 12 in safemode to get rid of an extension/add-on causing a redirect problem. All has been well, except a plugin I needed no longer works. It is called "missing-e" and is for Tumblr.
    I have tried reinstalling it at least 5 times, per their instructions, and am now here after they said it was a browser issue. I do get prompted to install it to firefox, I have it install, I get the message it was installed correctly - but then it never shows up in either the Extensions or Plugins area under Add-Ons area (though nothing ever shows up in Extensions). And the features it enables in tumblr are not enabled.
    The 'missing-e' people sent me here saying they believe this is a browser problem.

    Are you talking about plugins or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) as you mention Safe mode?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

  • Spell check no longer works in Safari after iOS5 update

    After updating to iOS5 on my iPad2 yesterday, the spell check feature no longer works in Safari when using the Apple Wireless Keyboard.  It works in all the other applications I've tried, such as Pages and Mail.  It's a real bummer, especially if writing a blog.  Any help or suggestions?  Spell check worked fine before the update.  (Spell check still works in Safari with the on-screen keyboard, just not with the Apple Wireless Keyboard - Safari seems to be the only application effected so far)  Thank you.

    Update: After rebooting my macbook - Moves now playing. TV shows bought using a different apple ID account still does not work even though they did before.

  • Flash no longer working on Firefox after update

    Moments ago I installed the Flash update after it came up on my screen asking to update, after doing so Flash is no longer working on Firefox, it works fine on other browsers. I cant view videos, look at flash objects etc. It was working perfectly fine before up untill the update. Anybody know how to resolve or fix this issue?

    Dear Chris:
    Yes, turning off Protected Mode indeed solves the problem!
    Specifically, we today (June 9, 2012) installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.3.300.257 on several Windows 7 PC's, all running Firefox v. 14 (Beta), and none of the Firefox installations would confirm that the installation was performed successfully.  For example, the Adobe Flast test/about site, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, would not work.  And, likewise, YouTube videos and other Flash-encoded videos did not work either.
    So, we tried your suggestion to disable the new Protected Mode, and it worked.  That is, every single machine on which Flash did not work in Firefox now functions perfectly.  So this conclusively demonstrates that there indeed is some kind of bug in the implementation of Protected Mode.
    Can you please let me and the other Adobe users know when this is fixed.  Thanks.
    Also, could you likewise let us know the risks of turning of Protected Mode (although we really don't have any choice, as Flash will not work on Firefox with PM turned on).
    Thank you.  Much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • Photo Stream no longer working on PC after iOS 8

    Photo Stream has always worked well for me, automatically uploading all photos taken with my iPhone to my Windows 7 PC.  However, since I updated to iOS 8, Photo Stream no longer uploads to the PC.  It works on all my iOS devices, but no longer uploads new photos to the PC.  I have re-installed iCloud for Windows, but this has not made a difference.  Am I overlooking something or is this a common problem iOS 8 users are having?
    Thanks for your help!

    After upgrading to iOS 8.1, upgrading to the latest iTunes and re-installing iCloud for Windows, Photo Stream is working again!

  • Deleting files takes hours or doesn't work at all after update to OS X Mavericks

    Hi everyone,
    My problem: I updated to OS X Mavericks the day the update got available but since then, I have a difficulty deleting files.
    Wether it are pictures or music files, sometimes it will delete the file very fast and other times it will either take hours or it won't delete at all (after waiting for hours) and even then to stop the file from going to trash will take a very long time. 
    I tried doing this while "Secure Empty Trash" was on and off but it stayed the same.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    About my Mac: 15' MacBook Pro, version 10.9.1, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.

  • Acrobat 8.1.5 no longer works on Mac after migrating to new computer

    Since migrating the contents of my old computer (2011 MacBookPro) to a new one (2014 Mac Mini), this application no longer works. After I open a PDF, a few seconds later I get the message "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional." The problem is that I don't have any other Adobe apps to launch. This app came as part of a bundle with the ScanSnap scanner. How to I get Acrobat 8.1.5 to function on my new computer?

    I have the same problem - my data had better not be gone!  Why won't Apple address this problem?
