CS3 seizing/crashing with Windows 7

I have bought a new computer running Windows 7.
My CS3 keeps seizing up when using some tools. I can't be precise because when it seizes I am so annoyed that I forget to log which tool caused the problem but an educated guess - it's non specific. It can happen anytime.
It opens Ok and I start working on a photo and then, at some time during the process, it seizes up.. I have downloaded all applicable updates.
I am assuming it is Windows 7.
If it is then it's a problem because I do not have any other computer.
I appreciate that CS3 was not designed for windows 7 but I am sure that Adobe must have upgraded CS3 to cope with new windows software. Or have they?
Any advice please?
As a secondary question - If CS 3 not compatible with windows 7 - Is CS4 compatible? I really can't afford CS5.

What the devil are you talking about, Andrew? All the Microsoft x64 operating systems run 32 bit software perfectly. They always have.
Not only that but 32 bit Photoshop can actually access much more RAM than its normal 2GB limit on a Windows x64 operating system, because each 32 bit application is given access to more of the full 32 bit address space than on a native 32 bit operating system.
And 2.6 GB of RAM is more than plenty to run Windows x64. A well set up system actually takes up only about 0.6 GB.
Andrew, you should actually try things yourself before making statements. May I suggest you invest some time and effort into a virtualization environment, such as VMware, so that you might gain some personal experience with such things.
It is in NO WAY "just plain stupid" to use an x64 operating system with 2.6 GB of RAM. It may be all the computer hardware that cymruboy has can handle, and it's the best system he could have chosen for a variety of reasons.
While I agree that more RAM may help, I suspect that cymruboy will see better Photoshop operation just by turning Photoshop's memory usage limit down to about 60%.

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p. 4:3....
The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.
Any ideas?

Re: Creative Centrale Crashes with Windows 7 64 bitmThank You KoKChoy-CL....
I had to Format to fix that issue. Now it worked so I could see the Zen 300 but did crash during tranfering music. I have tried it twice now. Once the Window 7 crashes, I cannot get the Centale program to enter my Zen.
Just a hint about how to get into the Zen Recover mode. Start off.. then push the on button and once you see the screen, quickly press back button holding them both down at the same time.

The program still crashed during transfering files to my Zen... I keep trying but I can always tranfer using Window 7 just by transfering from one folder to the next folder.

I try to play a video through itunes but everytime it tries it causes the software to crash with windows 7.

Has anyone had this problem? I've tried to play a video through itunes but everytime it tries it causes the software to crash with windows 7. I have the newest updates.

iTunes 7 keeps crashing on windows 7. please help.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Firefox constantly crashing with Windows 7

My computer was upgraded about a week ago with a new hard drive, new version of Windows (7 64 bit) installed on it, and everything else newly installed and up to date as far as I know, including the latest version of Firefox (26.0). Prior to this I had been using Firefox on XP without issue, but now with Windows 7, Firefox crashes multiple times a day. I did not have this problem before. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of page I'm on when it crashes. All I know is it's becoming almost pointless to use because I don't know how long it will work before it crashes again. I love Firefox and want to be able to use it normally! Here is a list of the crashes. Please help!

Is cs3 Extended compatible with Windows 7?

Before installing cs3 extended onto my new computer, I was needing to know if it is compatible with Windows 7. I see that cs3 is compatible but what about the extended version?
It is a Windows Home Premium 64 bit version
Thank you for your help,
Crystal

If one is compatible, the other has to be, since it is the same app. The only difference is parts are hidden to those that pay for the standard version. So theoretically it is possible to pay to unhide the extra features, even though I have heard some have a hard time from Adobe when trying.

Zen touch, crashing with Windows XP professional, not working with Windows media pla

i will start with an apology if someone has posted this up before i have just had a quick look and could not see any think about this.
if i turn my computer on with out running any other programs and connect the zen touch the computer automatically turn on the zen touch media player program. this work's fine as long as no other programs are running.
i have tried to work the zen touch with Windows media player but this dose not work and the computer crashes every time.
i have window xp professional and have all up dates from Windows. my computer is very new and has more then enough memory and ram.
please can you help. i am not to happy with the zen touch computer program and would like to know how to fix this problem.
thank you for your help
Rob the monkey

I wonder if there are problems here associated with the use of the zen touch on SP2 machines. Interestingly I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Zen 20gb on a SP2 machine but I can do so on my sisters machine which has got SP. Obviously having the lastest firmware is a good idea though but I believe there are issues associated with SP2 and as you say you have all the latest updates to windows perhaps the problem lies there. Sorry if this doesn't help you at all

Itunes 10.2.1 crashing with windows XP

We have downloaded itunes 10.2.1 on to our PC with windows XP. It just crashes whole computer.
Did the same with 10.1.1; removed the program and reloaded 10.2.1 but still crashes.
Any suggestions?

Can you describe what happens when your computer crashes.
Do you see any error message, if so give the error message in full.
Does the computer freeze so you ahve to restart, or do you get a blue screen stop.
If you get a blue screen, can you give the error numbers. Also if any file is mentioned in the error give that too.
If the computer just freezes with not error message, look in you Event Viewer after restarting to see if there was an error message there.
Does Quicktime work normally, or does that crash too?

DAQcard 6024E crashes with windows 2000

I am using a daqcard with windows 2000pro and labview 7 and it occasionally stops responding and I have to do multiple re-boots of the pc before it starts working again. it also seems to occasionaly have problems being recognised by windows and max, sometimes it is picked up by one and not the other. Is this a patchable windows bug as i dont seem to have the same problems on a different pc also running win 2k pro. (but i haven't run on the other pc as long as the one with the probs) i have also noticed that if power it connected to the I/O on the daq card, the problem occurs more often on bootup of the pc.

Testing the DAQCard in another laptop is a good first step in order to verify that the problem is probably with the configuration of windows and software rather than with the hardware. It appears that your DAQCard is working properly since you do not see the problem on a different computer.
Often times problems with PCMCIA devices can be a result of the PCMCIA socket or the PCMCIA drivers and software. The following Knowledgebase contains good information on debugging problems with PCMCIA cards and discusses how to remove any 3rd party socket services (that are usually installed onto mainstream laptops) and replace it with the default Windows software:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/7CBFAB1E451C3A1886256D98006914AE?OpenDocument
In your particu
lar case you might check the resources and software settings of the two laptops to see if they are noticeable different. In particular check to see what software controls the PCMCIA devices and if there are other background programs running that might cause problems with Windows on your first machine.
Also, you will want to check to the version of NI-DAQ that you have installed to see if that is different between the two computers. All versions of NI-DAQ can be downloaded from our website (ni.com/support) if you wish to upgrade, with our latest version being NI-DAQ 7.1.
If you have any other questions or comments then please let us know.

CS3 crashing with Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hello everyone,
I have been experiencing alot of issues since I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP 32 bit, to a Windows 7 - 64 bit.
I am working with CS3. I can be working on Indesign and all of a sudden it just disappears. No warning, no error messages, just disappears. Then when I try and reopen it, the application does nothing. If I try and reopen an old file, the machine just sits at a stand still. I have also noticed that all the Indesign icons (from previous files) do not appear as the little Indesign purple icon.. they are just blank white pages.
Also, I can no longer PDF anything... I get an error code from this, but not sure how to read the error.
Does anything have any solutions to offer me, as I have tried to reinstall the entire CS3 program, but that obviously did not help.
I am willing to take any advice I can get at this point.

Hmm... Well, I use CS3 daily on 64-bit Win7, so rest assured it can be made to work.
However, first off: when you say this:
I have been experiencing alot of issues since I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP 32 bit, to a Windows 7 - 64 bit.
do you mean literally "upgrade?" As in, you threw a Win7 disk into your XP machine and just installed Windows 7 on top of Windows XP? Or did you buy a new computer, or did you format your hard drive before installing Win7?
Also, I can no longer PDF anything... I get an error code from this, but not sure how to read the error.
Proabably unrelated, but if you could post (at least part of) the error message, or a screenshot of the error, we might be able to figure out something from it.
Lastly, if you've already tried an uninstall/reinstall, then you may want to try again, but this time use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. If the uninstaller failed to uninstall files or settings, then the old files or settings could be interfering with your new install. The Cleaner Tool will go through your hard drive and registry (after you uninstall again the normal way) and exterminate any leftover bits of your previous install(s). This will probably resolve your issues, unless you did install Win7 on top of WinXP, in which case the uninstall-CS-cleanup-and-reinstall-CS routine might not be a one-shot fix for you.

CS3 Incopy crashes on Windows 7

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my pagination system to use CS3 under Windows 7.
I am now experiencing nightly InCopy CS3 crashes on both 32-bit, 4 gig Windows 7 machines and 64-bit 12-gig machines.
My vendor has traced the InCopy crashes to notes inside teh story/file possible at certain locations.
Are there any know issues with CS3 running under 32 and 64 bit Windows 7 that could be related to notes modes with CS3 Incopy?
Any help would be appreciated.
Malcolm

Vendor software. We went from CS2 on Win2000 machines to CS3 on Windows 7. New software uses CS3 Incopy and InDesign to create pages. Getting sparodic situations where InCopy woukld crash so we have to unlock files, strip out notes, and then we're ok.
Other sites are on Windows 7 but most are on XP.
Just wondering if there are any known issues with CS3 on Windows 7 even though Microsoft has not certified CS3.
May have to take the drastic step of going from Windows 7 to XP.
