CS3 problems with Master suite Dreamweaver CS3

Hi all, I've just activated my new CS3 master suite and there are a few problems so far. I cannot make dreamweaver my default
program for editing html files of any kind. I cannot also select any cs3 program as a default program for any file. I am using windows 7. I also cannot add the software package to my netbook as it keeps asking for the disc and I do not have a disc drive in the netbook. I have tried copying the
installation files onto a memory stick but I still cannot activate the CS3 on my netbook?
Any advice appreciated

Hi Bob, unbelievable this is!
This is where I am now - I found out from Adobe that these 2 licences we fake keys so after I picked my jaw up from the floor I contacted customer services at Adobe and asked them to take action against this seller and they have told me I will receive an email soon with an update. To be honest they didn't seem that bothered so i don't know if they will do anything. I should have seen the signs really because the seller has a PO Box and that is usually suspicious.
Anyway I contacted the seller and told them that they had sold me an en illegal software package and demanded a refund. I then contacted my credit card company and blocked the transaction with them. As soon as I got off the phone from the CC company (10 mins ago) I checked my email and I had a reply from the seller, here it is .....
"the keys i sent you over the email are for trial only, since the real keys are on the way in the mail.
i did not send you your keys since i do not keep keys once i mail them out.
have fully refunded in any case for the trouble, take care Steve and have a nice day"
Now I don't know who Steve is because it certainly isn't my name so maybe this guy has this standard message on his clipboard for all of the refunds he has to issue. I don't think the line about a trial key sounds very likely but I am no expert with Adobe products so maybe you could shed some light on this.
At least I got my refund so now all I have to do is make my mind up what to buy from here in but I will make sure it is from a company I have heard of

  • Intermittent problem with PC Suite - no text is di...

    I have an intermittent problem with PC Suite - every so often it will stop displaying any text.
    For eaxmple, right-click on the task bar icon gives a list of icons for backup, messages, sync etc., but the text is missing.  Also, the 'tool-tips' in the application itself are empty grey boxes.
    Restarting PC Suite solves the problem for a while, but it always comes back.
    The main problem is that when it gets in this state, incoming call alerts don't show the name/number.
    Has anyone else had this and managed to sort it.
    I'm running PC Suite 7.1.40.6 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61p running Windows XP SP3.  The phone is a 6230i connected via Bluetooth.
    Thanks.

    Yes the Support line directed me to try a different USB port, with no luck.
    Also looked for the connection in windows device manager>>nothing appeared except the computers ports...
    [quote]Hi, Here is something what you could try to do: 1. Uinstall Nokia PC Suite 6.82.22 (or 6.7 or 6.8x) and restart PC. 2. Go to Windows' Control Panel and open "Add or Remove Programs" application. 3. If there are "PC Connectivity Solution" (or "Nokia PC Connectivity Solution" and/or "Nokia Connectivity Cable driver", uninstall those and restart PC. 4. Install PC Suite 6.82.22 and restart PC. If problem happen again: 1. Go to Windows' Control Panel and open "Add or Remove Programs" application. 3. Select "PC Connectivity Solution", click "Change" and then "Repair". 4. After Repair, restart PC. And if no help again: Save RegPCSuiteComponents.bat file to C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\ folder. Then go that folder and run it (double-click that file). After that restart PC. Does any of those help you?? [/quote]
    I've tried your 1st & 2nd suggestions....but I can't find the "connectivity solution" folder you mention (and being a complete noob (!) I don't know what a .bat file is (nor how to use it lol)
    In fact I can't find PC Suite anywhere in the program files. I REALLY think that it wasn't installed OK....it should not have taken less than one second to download if it took 1 3/4 hrs initially

  • Ultra cs3 use with Master Suite 5.5

    I installed Adobe Master Suite 5.5 & reloaded the Adobe Ultra 3. Everything is fine with the 5.5 suite but the Ultra CS3 still asks that a CS3 Suite be provided.
    How do I connect the Ultra to the new suite 5.5?

    How do I connect the Ultra to the new suite 5.5?
    You don't. CS3 was the only version that ever actually contained Ultra, so you need that to run it.

  • Help...help...help! Uninstall/reinstall/account-access problems with my Suite

    To Adobe support staff:
    I'm having great difficulty trying to find the help I need and would really like to talk to someone at Adobe for which I seem to be unable to do anywhere. I spent great money on my products and nothing here or anywhere will help. This really bugs me here that we are being forced to have to go through this damn forum as I can't get the direct help I need and this delays my progress.
    In particular, I've been having trouble trying to uninstall my product as it keeps looking for files that don't exist anywhere and so refuses to uninstall. I had the problem in the first place because when I set up other computer accounts, my Adobe products refuse to operate under them (non-admin account) and recommended uninstalling and reinstalling, a drooling and burdensome process. But I am unable to uninstall all remnants for whatever reasons.
    I tried using the adobe clear program too and the same thing occurs and so doesn't complete. I tried removing anything 'adobe' in all my registry files. I tries looking for the msi files that it demands in my installation package to no avail.
    Please contact me, Scott Mayers at my account email I provided in my personal account. If there are more than one of me under my name, I'm the one from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is annoying that I even have to publish this much just to get the help I need. I'm disappointed with Adobe for not giving us appropriate and direct customer help phone numbers when we purchase this at great expense.
    Thank you.

    I've been corresponding to someone who responded in email and they are only trying to convince me to upgrade to CS6 at a cost to me. I do NOT want to upgrade as I've already spent a large expense on the CS5.5 Master Suite and the Lightroom edition at the same time of purchase. Whoever is responding to me in email appears not to speak English clearly.
    I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and the above apps. As I mentioned to the guy in email, I am having trouble operating my product in non-administration accounts where I prefer to function for security reasons. There, the Adobe products are giving me an "Error 6" and insisting that I uninstall and reinstall again. I assumed that maybe this was due to me setting up my other accounts after I installed the Adobe Suite. I also was moving files away from the C drive in order to secure the files separately.
    I tried the uninstalls and most of it worked except for the Adobe Acrobat and other remnants. I managed to remove as much as registry markers of Adobe and then also used the download that Adobe suggested to completely clean all Adobe material. This failed as it keeps looking of msi files in odd locations that don't exist.
    I only have three remnants left: Adobe Content Viewer, Adobe Community Help, and Adobe Story. The windows uninstaller will not work nor does the cleaner. These are the indicated problems:
    Adobe Content Viewer unable to uninstall.
    Windows Installer:

  • Problems with PC Suite 7.1.30.9 USB connection

    Ok, So I've been having trouble the last 2 weeks or so getting this to work. I Correctly installed the PC suite 7.1.30.9 on my PC (windows vista home premium 32) some time back. It used to work well with my old N95 8GB, but after I got the N97, for the week it worked fine and would connect in any compatible mode. But then I started getting an error whenever I connected my N97 or my N95 on PC Suite, It could not detect any phone. When I tried adding a phone using PC Suite, the options for what kind of connectivity I would like to select with my phone were not even highlighted and I was getting an error message about infra red and trouble connecting. I re-installed evrything and then started getting this error message "Connected in non compatible mode" even though I had selected PC Suite on either phones. I tried restarting my phones and PC, but still got the same error. I tried uninstalling and re-installing PC Suite, nokia connectivity cable driver, PC connectivity manager and starting again, but still got the same error. I Even tried that again, but with an older version of PC Suite (6.85.12.0) but no luck.
    The funny bit is It connects easily with no trouble when I use bluetooth but doesn't work work with the USB cable. I know its not the phone because Niether the N97 nor the N95 work correctly with USB.
    Can someone help me, because Bluetooth is way too slow when I'm trying to transfer loads of different data and using my phone as a modem. 
    can't wait for n97 successor

  • Multiple problems with PC Suite 6.80 and bluetooth

    After several frustrating hours with a spiral of problems, I hope someone can see a way to get this (rubbish) PC Suite software working with my 6230i phone. - System is XP SP2 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with bluetooth built in. - Syncing with Lotus Notes 6.5 - PC Suite version I'm attempting to get working is 6.80.22 (latest as of 9/6/2006) Started with PC Suite 4.88 installed (for a 6310i phone - was trying to find a way to move contacts). This software however, had stopped working for this phone.... Day 1 - Installed PC Suite 6.8.22 (as well as 4.88) and after while got this working (sort of) - at least I got the Sync function to work OK (not the contacts list however for example) Day 2 - updated an address on PC and on phone and tried to Sync - alwasy just sat there trying to connect - nothing has changed since yesterday. (selected two way updated in advanced properties) (several hours of wasted life on a sunny evening later) Read all the stuff on this board I could and decided that problem might be because the System Info showed that I had Widcomm and Microsoft bluetooth installed. So: 1. uninstalled 4.88 version 2. Didn't read instructions carefully enough so didn't uninstall 6.80.22 3. ran the Nokia PC Suite Cleaner 3.3 (selected Other - said Yes to deleting .exe, no to deleting .dll's - wouldn't have got this if 6.80.22 was uninstalled) 4. installed 6.80.22 - tried 3 times and kept getting an error about missing components in the .msi file. Downloaded new copy, reinstall - same message, try once more, suddenly install works without error! 5. Try to connect to phone - now get error saying "no available connection type" - i.e bluetooth not working. - check System Info - "no supported bluetooth Stack" is listed. (Had both Widcomm and MS before) - check I CAN connect to the phone using e.g. bluetooth icon on and using say the "Audio gateway" function - so bluetooth IS installed OK - just PC Suite doesn't recognise. 6. Uninstalled PC Suite 6.80.22 7. Ran Nokia PC Suite Cleaner 3.3, selecting "other" 8. Install PC Suite 6.80.22 9. Try to connect - exactly the same problem as before. 10. Try to activate MS bluetooth - using CP-> System-> hardware-> device manager-> bluetooth devices-> properties -> driver -> update driver as suggested elsewhere but find that after “bluetooth devices” I have to select “Dell TrueMobile Bluetooth Module” befpre driver-> update driver (which tells me that it is updated – though at least twice before I have found newer drivers after being given this message) 11. Go to bed after 6 wasted hours. (sorry if there is no formatting in this - there was when I typed it, but the preview shows none and I can't seem to add any spaces,lines etc) Thanks Andrew

    Hi Manta
    After a downward spiral where the BT stopped working at some point during an install/uninstall, so i tried to follow some of the guides to sort out removing Microsoft BT and only having Widcomm - however at almost every turn there were problems, error messages not anticipated etc. to the point where nothing worked....
    Eventually thought to go back to a XP restore point which got the BT working again. (Microsoft and Widcomm drivers are both installed as before).
    Then had to run PC suite 4.88 to remove (kept getting error messgaes by doing it from add/remove in ctrl panel) and then had to reinstall PC suite 6.80-22 and removing it also gave unanticipated error messages.
    Did as you suggest and ran the cleaner through every stage (requiring 4 or so "installs" of this software and 3 reboots if you do as the software tells you..)
    Reinstalled and it almost seems to work as well as it did when I first installed it - apart from now I can't sync my calendar - get a message about the server being down even though it clearly isn't as I can use my email and calender though the Notes client without a problem...
    Dodgy PC suite software again??
    (I've also noticed that if you have tried to sync and it fails and then you try again, it pretends to have done a sync but in fact as long as the fail message is on the phone screen this will lock it out from another sync function...though this is not clear on the PC)
    If you or anyone else has any idea about the server connection failure message I'd appreciate hearing about it - and I'll go and have a look throught the boards to see if anyone else has seen this.

  • Problem with PC Suite and Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit

    I installed PC Suite on my desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit installed.  I was able to eventually run PC Suite (granted it needed to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode) and sync my calendar on my W518a cell phone with PC Suite via Bluetooth communications.  After I turned off my computer and restarted it, I could no longer open up PC Suite...its icon appears in my system tray with a red X over it as if it can't find the program.
    The SonyEricsson website indicates PC Suite can run with Windows 7.
    What is causing the problem I am having?  How do I get this corrected?

    I have downloaded and reinstalled the PC Suite software.  Although it is not working as well as it should, as long as I have my cell phone on with Bluetooth enabled prior to clicking on the icon to open the application, it seems to work OK.  Otherwise, when it opens, it just hangs and the only way you can close the program is to get into Task Manager and force it closed when its status is showing as "Not Responding".  I also have found that just "closing" the PC Suite window does not close the application...you have to click on the option to "Exit the Application" otherwise you continue to have it in your system tray with a red X over the icon.

  • Apparent problem with Ovi Suite and Win 7 64 bit

    Hi
    Apologies if this has already been covered, but i have searched quite thoroughly and i haven't come across the specific problem i'm querying.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, with PC Suite 7.1.51.0, which runs just fine.
    I intend to upgrade to the superb N8 when my contract comes to an end in 6 months, so i'm just doing my homework.  
    Apparently, the N8 will only run on Ovi Suite, NOT PC Suite.
    Now if anyone disputes this and can convince me that the N8 works perfectly fine with PC Suite, then read no further, please just respond!  (Bear in mind the OS i'm running though).
    As nice as Ovi Suite is, i've managed just fine so far with PC Suite.
    Otherwise, please let me explain the problem i am having:
    I installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.  When i run it, it shows the main screen, and you can just make out a small window appearing in the middle saying "Nokia OVI".
    It is then that the program stops responding, eventually displaying the error message which reads:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\...
    This appication has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
    Please contact the appication's support team for more information.
    Judging by the similar stories of Ovi crashing (not finding one where the program fails to open, though), i think it is related to the fact that i'm running Win 7 64 bit; but i could be wrong.
    I have tried installing it in compatibility mode, then (failing that), running it in compatibility mode, all to no avail.
    Is this a problem that Nokia know about?  If there is an intended fix within 6 months, then that'll be fine.
    Otherwise, do any of you clever people know any work-arounds?
    Any further questions you need to ask, please don't hesitate.
    Many thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Pinpointing the problem may be very difficult as Ovi-Suite appears to be extremely unpredictable.and getting Ovi-suit tu run an sync properly seems to be largely a matter of luck.
    I have just set-up three brand new identical HP workstations for our Geo-Information Department.
    All were set up from the same disk image with only Win 7 Pro Office 2010, then directly Ovi-Suite as our Geo-Information guys insisted on Nokia handsets against our advice.
    On one, machine Ovi-Suite crashed on launch and was unable to run at all.
    on the second, Sync to OL 2010 failed consistently.
    ont the third, everything ran fine with an N97 but an N8 was not recognized
    So i got curious and run tests on one machine: I installed the same disk image a total of six times (clean win7-64, clean Office 2010 3 times, Office 2003 three times)
    Office 2010
    the first time i had the crash on launch, second time OL2010 sync fail, third time it ran ok.
    Office 2003
    First time notes sync failed, second and third time all was ok.
    So the issue is definitely with Ovi-Suite and it appears to be pure luck whether is runs or not and if it runs at all, whether it syncs or not.
    Syncing OL 2010 seems to be much trouble prone than OL2003, 64bit appears to be much less stable than 32, onb win 7 it seems to have slightly fewer issues than on XP.
    We have NO issues with any other sync software (Palm, BB, Fruit, S-E, Microsoft, even Nokia PC-Suite).
    None of the software is run with admin privileges (as we just do not give admin rights to users). If software requires admin rights to be installed, it is done by Data Center employees.
    I'm afraid one's best bet to get Ovi-Suite running is trial and error, or if  the handset supports it, use PC-Suite, which is what we do.
    Ovi-suite users, according to our logs, generate over 70% of our smart phone related support calls, even though they are only 6% of our smart phone user base.
    As a result, we currently have all Nokia handsets that do not work with PC-Suite and require Ovi-Suite blacklisted in our organization, meaning we won't support them in any way. Installation of any flavor of Ovi-Suite is prohibited on user PCs as long as it does not become more stable, reliable and less of a resource hog.
    Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

  • Problem with Master -Details forms in seperate pages

    Hi ,
    Below is the scenario:
    I have Institution and a department tables where there is a foreign key relation between the tables. So now i have two entity objects for the 2 tables and 2 view objects(DepartmentView,InstitutionView) from the entity objects.
    I also have a view link between them.I made a master-detail relation between them in the datamodel using the view link.So my appmodule now has getters for the department view,institution view and viewlink.
    I now have a jsp page "createInstitution.jsp" which contains a form for the institution , i have a "next" button on the same jsp which calls a method in my appmodule class .This methods just inserts the record into the Institution view. In this method i am able to see what the user entered in the form by getting the viewrow record like the below code :
    InstitutionViewRowImpl newInstitutionRow=(InstitutionViewRowImpl) getInstitutionView().first();
    The next button navigates to the next page "listDepartments.jsp" which contains the list of departments that are added. This page has a button "Add Department" which takes to to the "addDepartment.jsp" page which shows a form for adding a department. This page also has a button which calls a method in app module class. The method just inserts the record into the view(DepartmentView)
    Here when i say
    DepartmentViewRowImpl newDepartmentRow=(DepartmentViewRowImpl ) getDepartmentView().first();
    the newDepartmentRow is null.
    Also on the addDepartment.jsp form , i had used a output field to see what the parent id was and interestingly the parent id is 75 which is first institution in the database. It should have been "-10" , a temporary id assigned.
    Can someone please tell me what is the problem with my approach?

    I don't understand why you are using a method on your button to insert the record into the table - An Oracle ADF Form will do the insert for you by default without any coding.
    See the create pages in these tutorials:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards/adf_set_21/ccset21_ALL.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/dev_ui/developuserinterface.html#t2s5
    The method that you are calling just returns the first record in the rowset - I don't see how it has anything to do with actually inserting the data into the table.

  • Problems with Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows

    Portal 3.0.7.6.2 on NT
    I am having problems with a Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows. Sometimes it retrieves all, sometimes about 50%, the majority of the time it's not retrieving any. If it never retrieved any I would suspect that the 'join' condition was wrong but that isn't the case. I didn't have this problem with a prior MD Form I created. I have tried re-creating the MD Form but I get the same problem.
    Is anyone having similar problems/is this a know bug??
    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

    I experienced performance problems. The simpiest MD form takes about 10 secs. to requery. I's not answer to your question, but there is more problems with this concept.

  • Uploading problem with Ebay and Dreamweaver MX

    I am unable to sync websites with Dreamweaver MX 6.01. When I connect to the remote server, it shuts down the program. I have reinstalled the program, but it still does it. Also, when I use Safari, Opera, and Firefox to upload photos on Ebay, the upload process fails completely, and blows me directly into My Ebay, as if I was not on the selling page at all. I have to go to my PC to do the photo uploads. Seems like it may be a related issue, some kind of uploading problem with Rosetta, or something. I am using a Macbook Pro with the 2.0Ghz processor, connected with ethernet cable, and firewall is set to off. Any ideas?

    For E-Bay you might try the following:
    Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
    Then launch Safari, and you will be able to use the new Debug menu.
    If you ever wish to disable it again, just repeat the command with a "0" instead of a "1".
    Under the Debug menu, you'll see the User Agent sub-menu; select Windows MSIE 6.0 from the list and then try connecting to your web site

    my PC Suite doesn't work properly anymore after upgrading to 7.1.26.0. Reason: My Windows-use-name ("Jörg") contains an "ö". The previous versions didn't have any problems with that and were using "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jörg\..." to store everything as expected. But the current version is trying to use "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jsomestrangesymbolthatlookslikearectanglerg\...". How do I fix this? Is this a bug in the software (if so: where can I downgrade to a working version) or is this just some registry-key that can be fixed easily?

    Hi,
    there's definately a bug in the PC Suite:
    The "strange char" instead of "ö" occured in all Nokia-related entries in the registry (fixed this manually).
    The problem also occurs in all those setting-xml-files under %APPDATA%\Nokia\.... But manually fixing this doesn't help as I'll demonstrate for this file:
    C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jörg\Anwendungsdaten\Nokia\ContentCopier\Settings_CC4.xml
    The file gets changed by the PC Suite every time you backup your phone's data. That's how it looks like at the moment:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <UISettings Version="1.0" >
     <GeneralSettings x="0" y="0" DefaultFolder="C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jörg\Anwendungsdaten\Nokia\ContentCopier" />
     <Phone LatestBackup="2009-05-05T20:50:26" IMEI="354193025253969" BackupFile="C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jörg\Anwendungsdaten\Nokia\ContentCopier\2009-05-05 Nokia E51.nbu" />
    </UISettings>
    For those who don't see the problem: The file says that it's UTF-8. But it isn't! As if it would be UTF-8, each ö should be replaced by a ö! In other words: The first line should state encoding="ISO-8859-1"!
