CS3 stopped working & CS4 won't download

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I've read through the forum and can't find information which applies to my problem.
I have been using CS3 for 2 years without any issues until 2 days ago it wouldn't open and I got this message..."Licensing for this product has stopped working". I uninstalled the software as directed and tried to reinstall (several times) but was unsuccessful. I have disabled my Firewall, Antivirus software etc. etc. I am using Windows Vista and have plenty of hard drive disk space.
After several unsuccessful attempts I decided to upgrade to CS4 (the trial version) however it will not download either. I am receiving the "Fatal error 1603". I have searched the support and found information regarding this error however all specific to an issue...for instance "AdobeColorCommonSetRGB".
The error I am receiving says:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Bridge CS4
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Device Central CS4
Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on what to do first. I think I have most likely complicated matters by trying to download CS4 without resolving the CS3 issue first.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issues and have tried all of the solution here and many other places as well. Anymore suggestions
I read your post and tried all the suggestions you mentioned
I have CS3 & CS4 master collection, both were working and some how they stopped working on my computer. I think it is a VISTA thing. They are legal copies and both downloads direct from Adobe.
VISTA HOME PREMIUM 64 BIT – SP2
I have done all the steps I can find on the adobe website, and other places I look and nothing worked. The software was working fine, and then all of a sudden CS3 and CS4 were not working. Not sure why. But nothing has worked, from uninstalling all adobe products, to using cleanup script, to cleaning folders and registry to find any hint of cs3 or cs4. used MSconfig to shut everything off, created a new user. Tried different cleaners. I have been working on this for over a week now. I also tried what was written on this forum.
I tried to unlock the sRGB profile and was not able to unlock that. Seems like this is a major challenge for me as well as others. Any suggestions?

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download. It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product. I put it in, but it isn't taken. I am frustrated and furious! What can I do?

Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3. As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number. You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.

Has anybody else's itunes stopped working since the new download?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit

Premiere Pro CC slows down, then stops working, then won't work, then it won't quit. So I have to force quit every time.
It does not matter if I am working with HD or 4K - same thing happens.
This began happening about a week ago. Nothing really new has changed. I tried to repair permissions and check this from a new admin account because I know that is what Adobe thinks the answer to every problem is. But it did not change anything.

Used this tip from Adobe and it worked, all running quick and smooth again.
Hope it works for you too.

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

I'm still having problems downloading. Can anybody help? Everytime I try yo download, it's saying my Adobe Flash CS4 won't download.

Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

Hey raphaccarvalho
If your iPhone is not powering on, then check out the article below to see if you can get it to power back on. You will want to start at step 3 to try and reset it by holding the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for about 10 seconds and see if the Apple Logo comes up.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
After several minute, test the movie again:
error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
Need help,
Godspeed us all,

first, open flash without opening a fla. if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it. close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
if that all works ok, open your project fla. save it with a different name. close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it. any problem?

CS3 Has Stopped Working and Won't Reinstall - HELP I can't Work!

Hi, I have CS3 running on a Windows Vista 32 bit PC with 4 gig of
RAM, dual core processor. The other day I went to use Photoshop and got the
message that the product had stopped working. This turned out to be the case
with all of the apps. The solution dialog would not run from the
window. So I completely uninstalled, ran CS3 Clean Tool (all with virus
software off) and have attempted three times to reinstall (from desktop), but it
keeps coming back and telling me that Acrobat 8 installed successfully and
Shared Components installed successfully, but for each of the other products it
says "Component install failed". It also says that for Shared Components, even
though it says they installed successfully. It never askes for a product code
or key.
Since CS3 isnt current Adobe wont support. Help, I need it for work and cant
afford to upgrade!

Arrowmaster,
I think I can help you--I got help from Mylenium. I have a Windows Vista 32 bit core duo and I have CS 3 Master Collection and it stopped, too. I think the problem was a Windows Update that put things in the registry. The clean tool and the uninstall from the control panel will not affect the registry. I followed these exact instruction VERY carefully and I got a clean re-install and can work now. Here is the adobe page I used--you need to find a time period of 8 or more hours to get this to work--last step is to update your software which in my case took several hours because it had been over a year since CS3 stopped for me.
Here is the website:

Good Luck - after 13 months of trying everything this solved it.

CS3 Stopped working

The other day I got a message when I opened DW that said the
License had stopped working and that I needed to contact my system
admin or uninstall and reinstall the program. (This was the case
for all CS3 programs)
After I uninstalled I was not able to reinstall. Vista Home
Premium, CS3
Anyone had any similar issues?

Why did my copy of Photoshop CS3 stop working? The message tells me that Adobe has stopped licensing it. I love it. I want to use it. How?

My copy of Photoshop CS3 has stopped working. I love it. I am very familiar with it. I paid hundreds of dollars for it. When I click on it (W/my MAC) I get a message that reads: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the product by contacting Adobe Customer Support."
So how do I repair it so it works again? I've called the "Chat" forum three times and they do nothing. Please help...I use this Photoshop CS3 for work.
I have the serial number, but not the original disc which was damaged.
Thank you in advance.
Rob Taylor
I am trying to run it under Mac OS 10.9.5

The simplest way to clear it up is usually a re-install. Here is a link to the installers: Download CS3 products. Have your serial number ready.
If this fails, I am going to direct you to this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1714695 Start at post #11.
