CS3 Web Premium Suite compatible with Vista 64 bit?

Greeting folks. I realize this is not a Photoshop specific question, but does anyone use CS3 Web Premium Suite on Vista 64? If so, do you have any problems with any of the programs?
I'm contemplating upgrading from Vista 32 to Vista 64.
Thanks!

I just got the Adobe Master Collection CS3 to run on a Dell Workstation (quad core processor, 2GB RAM) with Vista 64 Business. Photoshop is deathly slow, to the point of being unusable. It takes up to 2 minutes just to load the programme. Clicking menu items or drop-down buttons produces no response for about 5 secs. I created a blank layer and tried to draw a simply brush stroke across it - again, a 5 sec delay before the stroke appeared. This makes it impossible to do any useful work. Other parts of the package are better (e.g. Dreamweaver, Illustrator) but Bridge is slow and I have a subjective impression that some of my none Adobe programme are now running more slowly. I did look at CPU and memory utilization - never got about 60% and was mostly around 10%.
When I run the Photoshop CS3 trial on an AMD duo core computer with only 1GB RAM (which is running XP Pro), I get a much snappier response. Makes me suspect a Vista issue.
Since others appear to be having much better success, I would be very interested in any tips, etc. which I might try.
Thanks.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium is compatible with Windows 8?

    Anyone knows?
    Thanks

    As always: You won't know until you try. Per se there is nothing that should prevent the programs from functioning, but there may be compatibility issues that may necessitate some fiddling e.g. with compatibility modes.

  • Zire 21 compatible with Vista 64-bit?

    Can I still use my Zire 21?
    My hard drive froze.  Got a new desktop that runs Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0, 64-bit.  I can't find my Palm disk to download software, so I went to Palm website and downloaded 4.1.4. 
    It looks like it downloaded OK -- the Palm Desktop icon appears, and when I doubleclick it opens.  But when I try to hotsync to my Zire 21 I get the message:  "Windows needs to install driver software to your computer."  Then it tells me to insert disk or have Windows search my computer for the software.  I tell it to search the computer but get the message:  "Could not find driver software."
    Thank you for any assistance.

    There are no USB drivers for Vista 64bit. The only option is to sync Via Infrared with your handheld model. You will need to get an IR adptor that is Vista 64 compatible and setup an IR hotsync.
    Here is a link to the IR hotsync article. http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/1941_en.html

  • CS3 Web Premium and Vista 64

    I see on Adobe's website that CS3 Web Premium is certified
    for Vista 32. Has anyone installed it on Vista 64 and if so, does
    it work? After spending 3 weeks getting Studio 8 to work properly
    on Vista 64 (thanks to all in the forum for your help there), I
    don't want to upgrade until I know for sure its going to work.
    Cheers

  • Want to upgrade to PS CS5 from CS3 Web Premium

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop CS3 that was part of CS3 Web Premium Suite to PhotoShop CS5 Extended. I do not want to upgrade the entire suite. Is this possible? Jack Davis said I should be able to. I just want to make sure. The Adobe website says I cannot. I think that is a marketing ploy... Can someone please help?

    I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception.  It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR.  I did have these options with CS3.

  • Internet Security Suite does not work with Vista 64 bit

    After attempting to use the Chat Help, twice, and spending hours in queue before getting kicked off, I finally called Support to find out why my new Vista computer was not running the Internet Security Suite that I downloaded.  Yes, I found the link to "download to a second computer" and went thru all the steps.  Got lots of positive feedback: little bars were filling in letting me know I was 40%, 72%, 100% done, etc..  Was given a window allowing me to Run or Don't Run the software.  It all seemed to go very well.  However, when the "download and installation" was complete, there was no new software running anywhere on my computer.  Couldn't find it in the Control Panel, the Start menu, or the system tray.  Called Support and spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with a "technician" (and I use that term VERY loosely) who had to have major assistance from a co-worker before he could even start screen-sharing with me and, during the course of our time together, made the following brilliant remarks:
    Upon seeing my desktop wallpaper (which is a lovely photo of some cliffs and a lake - and it came with Vista), he wanted to know what the picture was.  Not where it was taken, but just what it was.  His exact comment was "Does your screen always look like that?".  I had to dig deeper to determine if he was asking about a particular icon or some other computer related concern that he saw (he was "technical support", after all), but he was just asking about the stupid photo.
    He couldn't find the Control Panel in the Start Menu until after trying several times, and then he couldn't navigate to the Programs area very well (I had to give verbal hints as to where it was), and his brilliant comment then was "I really need to go to my mom's house and get on her new laptop and try out Vista."  Can you believe that Verizon has technical support folks who have never used Vista?  It's not like Vista just came on the market yesterday!!
    So, when he finally decided that he was not going to be able to help me, he didn't offer me any other recourse.  He just stated over and over that he was not sure how to solve this issue.  Oh, and this was after I re-downloaded ISS (again, "successfully").  I had to ask if there was someone else there who could possibly help me.  He offered to put me on hold (for the 2nd or 3rd time at this point) to check around.  When he returned to the phone, it was obvious that someone else was operating the mouse in the screen sharing mode because the operator moved confidentially around the screen and went immediately to system properties and saw that I am running Windows 64 bit.  The other operator then told my guy to tell me that ISS only works with Windows 32 bit.  Their final resolution was that I should call billing on Monday and end my subscription.  I think that may be the only good advice I was given that day.
    So, am probably going to renew my trial version of Norton on this new computer and remove ISS from the laptop and put Norton on there as well.  Apparently, they are up to date with this fancy new technology.  At least they probably know about sophisticated and highly technical stuff like desktop wallpaper.

    I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work.  Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program.  I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it.  Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS.  Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out.  My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is.  If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer.  I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection.  It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

  • Cs3 and cs4 web standard compatible with vista home basic?

    Are Adobe CS3 and CS4 Web Standard compatible with Vista Home Basic 32bit?
    I only see Windows Vista Home Premium / Vista Business / Vista Enterprise / Vista Ultimate / XP listed as compatible.
    Many thanks.

    Vista didn't exist when CS3 was released and as such, there is no official statement regard compatibility of CS3 with Vista Home Basic.
    For CS4, we are very explicit. CS4 is not at all supported for Vista Home Basic (there are a number of networking and service support components that Microsoft leaves out of their Home Basic versions).

  • Photoshop CS3 Web Premium compatible with Windows 8.1

    I have just received a new Computer with Windows 8.1 and want to install Photoshop CS3 Web Premium on it. Are there any issues with this Operating System and Photoshop CS3 Web Premium?

    Are there any issues with this Operating System and Photoshop CS3 Web Premium?
    You bet there are. Starting with Win 7 the print engine and certain other parts of Windows have changed and naturally the new security menchanisms may require compatibility modes and a lot of trickery already upon install. It's not impossible, but issues should definitely be expected - some small, some more critical.

  • Unable to install CS3 Web Premium on Vista

    I recently purchased CS3 Web Premium. When I try to install it, it fails. The message I get is - Error 1310.Error writing to file
    C:\Config.Msi\43361.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I am running on Vista Home Premium - Service Pack 1.
    I turned off User Account Control and I have reset the ownership and permissions for the ProgramData folder as directed in the forum.
    Still can't load the software.  One thing I find strange about this message is that I don't have a Config.Msi folder.  I even tried creating one but that didn't help either.
    Please help!

    I still have not been able to get this resolved completely. However, I have been able to get the error 1013 from popping up.
    I had originally started off doing these steps from Adobe's site : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html however I had no luck with any of the 3 solutions. I then found this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/ and this seemed to have taken the error 1013 from popping up.
    However, now when I go to intall it...it will run through the whole installation process which takes 30 mins!!! To only tell me that all the programs were unable to install and to finish. I thought I was getting somewhere with this and then another road block. I can't believe I've now spent 2 days on this going on three.
    I also had downloaded some scan program that states they can get Adobe Software installed and take away the errors by cleaning my system. Wait I'm confused here because my system is BRAND NEW. This program also cost like 40 bucks. I had contacted them wondering how on earth they can claim such a thing on a brand new computer...and that there "scan" had shown my brand new laptop with thousands of errors!!! ???? !!!! They only answered that I needed to buy their software to find out...obviously skipping that option.
    So this is my last solution to try to fix the problem...I'm running it right now with like 12 games up and running so we'll see if Speed is the problem. here's the link on that topic. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=C%3A\Config.Msi&page=1&qsrc=2417&ab=2&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vistax64 .com%2Fvista-general%2F187289-c-config-msi-problem.html
    Last resort will to call support but after reading all the forums I'm dreading the sound of it...someone had spent 6 hours on the phone with not results only to have NO working programs instead of the pre-version they had in working order. Also I'm not sure that I'll be getting any help...it sounds that you need the most recent version.
    If this does not work...I'm seriously considering sending back my brand new laptop back in that it was the ONLY reason why I bought the thing was to be able to work while I was away from home. Apparently, I won't be able to do so...or buy a whole new program or license which to me sound rediculous in that I've spent just like everyone else on here the amount for the software and was told that I could have it installed on two computers as long as they were not being used at the same time. Understood but not seem to be working out that way.

  • Hard drive died.  Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Hard drive died.  Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system,  Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

  • Illustrator CS3 not compatible with Vista

    I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CS3 because my previous program - Freehand, is not compatible with Vista. The Adobe site stated that Illustrator was capable of importing and editing Freehand files so I gave it a try.
    Well, it does import the files with only a few minor font issues. BUT, when you try to SAVE or EXPORT it returns the error message: "can't save illustration". In other words, you can import, work, design, etc. but when it comes time to save or export your work, you can't. So the program is completely worthless.
    Adobe should have made this bug or conflict clear before releasing the product with Vista compatibility and stating that it could import Freehand 9 files. What good is importing the files if you can't save them after making the changes?
    I would caution anybody to wait until there is a patch or at least try the trial version before spending a lot of time and money on a program, only to find you can not save or export your work!

    >I finished editing a project in 2.0 and installed CS3 to finish. Now when I try to render the project it crashes and then I when I restart all of my media is unlinked so I relink save, crash, repeat forever. I guess I need to reinstll 2.0 this CS crap isn't working for me.
    I had a similar problem. I started a 60-minute documentary under Premiere 6.5 and finished it in Pro 2.0. Nightmares!
    I thus recommend starting and finishing each project in one version. I also recommend that when you get a version of Premiere running well on a particular system and you want to upgrade, you build an entirely new system and upgrade on THAT sys. Keep the old system because you have possibly scores or hundreds of hours into getting it to work perfectly. Sell these old systems off as turn-key systems to editors that are less experienced and don't need the power (yet). I have been doing this and it works out well. I am also developing a chain of trainees who will someday be able to COMPLETELY TAKE OVER MY EDITING POST AND THUS RELEASE ME FROM THIS HELL (so I can go back to producing and directing).

  • Unable to resolve installation error for Adobe CS3 Web Premium despite referring to given solution

    Hi,
    I own a copy of Adobe CS3 Web Premium from a few years ago that was bundled with my Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 on Windows Vista.  I wish to install the CS3 Web Premium onto my Acer Aspire X3990 desktop that is running on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on 64-bit operating system type. However, the installer prompts the following error: "This software cannot be installed because JScript is not properly registered. Please repair JScript and then restart the installer".
    Checking with Adobe website, I came across the following support page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-2739-installer-closes-cs3.html
    whereby it says the solution is to manually register the jscript.dll file. I followed the procedure exactly for that of 64-bit system, but then the following new error pops up when I enter in "regsvr32 jscript.dll" onto Administrator: Command Prompt on C:\Windows\SysWow64 : "The module "jscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005. For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term."
    One thing I note is that on the Adobe web link, the operating system mentioned is Vista, while I am currently running Windows 7.
    Please help, as the few solutions I found on Google search are mostly repeated calls to ensure that the command prompt is run at Administrator level, which I already am doing so. I need something more than telling me what I had already done but not resolved.
    I am asking the same question in parallel to the Microsoft Community page as well, as I do not know where exactly the issue lies with. I hope both sides can give a clear resolution.
    I really need help in enabling me to use Adobe CS3 again, as my Fujitsu laptop that ran it without problems had since died off already.

  • HomeSite not included in CS3 Web Premium?

    I recently purchased CS3 Web Premium for PC and was surprised
    to find that HomeSite is not included in the software. Is this
    correct, or is there someplace I can download a copy of it? I was
    under the impression that HomeSite was included in the CS3 suites,
    or at least included with Dreamweaver (which is part of CS3 Web
    Premium). Any info is appreciated.

    Well, what a drag. I like Dreamweaver for some things, but
    for doing web dev when you are coding stuff yourself I think
    HomeSite is one of the cleanest code gen tools I ever came accross.
    I like it because it seems to mangle your own written code the
    least of any tool when used back and forth from "source code" to
    "design" modes.

  • CS3 Web Premium is missing pieces + crazzzy updater

    Hello, I just got my CS3 Web Premium.
    No demos installed on my machine before it, so it's all brand new (new computer too).
    I ran the DVD, and the installer said there were problems. It said VersionCue had not been installed.
    I tried the suite, it seemed to work.
    But...
    -There was no Adobe Bridge. I tried to evoke it from the apps, no way. It isn't anywhere, not even a folder on the computer.
    -Also Photo Pack wasn't there: the icon is in Applications Folder, but double-click and nothing is launched.
    -And then, this crazy Adobe Udpater. It's just a message that pops up every single time I open an app from the Suite. It doesn't do anything, doesn't check, connect... no preferences to change, nothing. Just a message and an OK button to send it away.
    I had to put it on the desktop to stop it from driving me crazy.
    I then uninstalled (following carefully the instructions from the Adobe Support site to perform a clean uninstall), and re-installed. This time, no error message...
    But same situation. No Bridge. No Photo Pack. And crazy Updater still there.
    I wonder how many things can be wrong that I haven't seen yet... !
    Does anyone know what this can be? thank you for the kind attention,
    Josh
    CS3 Web Preminum, MacBook Pro, Leopard.

    Hello to whoever is reading.
    Especially people who have the CS3 Web Premium + Acrobat 9 box.
    I don't know if this is right or not, whether I'm talking nonsense, but here is my experience, exactly as it happened (except it took days :)
    I recently had great problems installing CS3 Web Premium.
    In two words, the installer (a DVD) would NOT install a number of parts.
    It would not install Bridge, Version Cue, StockPhotos. And the Adobe Updater had some very obvious problems too, because it didn't check anything, all it did was pop up every time I opened an app from the suite.
    Basically, I had an incomplete and malfunctioning version of CS3.
    So, after a number of attempts which unfortunately spanned across a few days, including performing a clean un-install as suggested by the Adobe site, and a talk with Adobe Customer Support, who told me I had to install by creating a new admin account on my computer (note: a brand new MacBookPro, very unlikely that it would have any seriously bad configuration problems), here is where the unexpected solution popped up.
    The fourth time I re-installed, and before going through installing with a different admin, as Support suggested, I tried something I hadn't tried the previous times. Just for the heck of it.
    I DID NOT follow the instructions that came in the box that said to uncheck the installation of Acrobat 8. The note said you had to do that with the Acrobat 9 DVD installer, but later.
    This time, I just let CS3 install with Acrobat 8 as it would by default.
    And, hey! It installed perfectly! All components, and all working as should.
    Now... I don't know if it's coincidence, if I missed out on noticing something else.
    I'm am illustrator and cartoonist, so I know NOTHING about installers and the sort.
    I'm not assuming this is a bug. This is just what happened to me.
    So if anybody out there is experiencing the same frustrating thing, well, what the... it's worth the try, ain't it?
    Try it... let CS3 install WITH Acrobat 8, and maybe it'll go smooth.
    It did for me.
    Bye, best, & hope this was useful.
    Josh
