CS3/Windows 8 Questions

Hey all. So will CS3 work with Windows 8 if I follow this http://optimizewindows8.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/how-to-solve-photoshop-cs3-compatibility- issues-with-windows-8/? If so, where is the update they're talking about?
My last little side question is, if i run a trial version of Windows 8 on my computer, will it be an accurate representation of how it will really be if I install Windows 8 and reinstall the CS3?

Not sure what you mean. I thought it did.
The blog post says
Go to adobe website and look for an update to your version of adobe Photoshop, find it. It probably is name as “Application Patcher.”
Download the Adobe Photoshop update file (Application patch).
So I gave you a link to the only update available for CS3.

  • Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

    Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
    Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
    I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
    I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

    Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

  • Photoshop cs3 + windows vista + intuos 3

    I am working with "photoshop cs3" "windows ultimate vista" and an "wacom intuos 3" tablet and I experience heavy lags while drawing like the brush-strokes don't quite follow my moves, and I have to wait for them to catch up.
    When I open a large file and I try to apply the first brush stroke on my drawing the cursor screen disappears for a while and photoshop is not responding.
    Then Photoshop comes back so the cursor and I can start to work. But as soon as I drag the page using the little Hand tool photoshop stops responding again for few more seconds and when it restarts I can hardly control the direction of my new brush strokes.
    Apparently in order to restart the only remedy I found (by chance) is by toggling the layer visibility status (change a layer from visible to not and back to visible again). After this exercise I can draw in photoshop again! But of course same problems again as soon as I will use the hand tool and move on the screen again!!!
    Any idea about what could be behind my problems!?
    What should I check?
    (These problems started after last week immediately after re installation of vista on my machine, I never had this problem with vista photoshop and intuos on that same machine before!)
    Thanks
    Mario

    I have CS3, Vista Ultimate and an Intuos3 tablet. No lags or delays now. But I used to have them and many were reported on the Wacom Users Forum when Vista first came out. I can't remember now what the fix was - have a look on the Wacom Users' Forum. If you had it running ok on your previous Vista installation some software setting must have changed in the new installation. Things that may help are:
    get latest Nvidia vga card drivers (if you have an Nvidia card); get the latest Wacom driver; Logitech Setpoint software conflicting - the latest is ok for me; disable/switch off the Vista Pen and Input device.
    Sorry, I can't remember the fixes but they should be available if you dig around in the Wacom Users' Forum.

  • Problems with saving in Illustrator CS3 - Windows

    I'm using Illustrator CS3, Windows XP. Even the smallest files take a very long time to save. I try to save and it initally appears as if nothing is happening. If I click again, a portion of my screen goes white and the hour glass sits for what feels like forever while "Not responding" appears next to Illustrator in the bar. Eventually it finishes. Have run into the same problem with PhotoShop a couple times as well. Seems to have started after my upgrade to CS3. Can anyone help?

    "it initally appears as if nothing is happening" - no-no, disk indicator should be bright and nearly no-blinking!
    Solutions are (depending on the problem severity):
    1. Make more layers (even for the same kind of objects, especially for texts)
    2. Use RAID 5 disks for scratch files (VelocyRaptor is the best choice)
    3. Use i-RAM for scratch files (if the project not too big)
    4. Use RIndMA disk (http://hardwareforall.com/ww/serverRAMdisk.html) for scratch files

  • Have CS3 Windows, want to buy Mac

    I am getting a new computer since Windows stopped supporting XP.  If I buy an iMac or MacBook Pro, can I still use my CS3 Windows files?  Do I need to buy new CS for Mac?  If so, is there some way I can still access my CS Windows files?  Thanks.

    Your Windows version will not install on a Mac and even if you had the Mac version CS3 would be a complete crapshoot on Mavericks.
    You can buy a full version of CS6 or you can use the CS3 license to get intro pricing to Creative Cloud for $29.99/month for the FIRST YEAR. It’s $49.99/month thereafter.
    The actual files you’ve produced with the software are crossplatform.

  • Import Premiere Pro CS3 Windows projects into Premiere Pro CS5 Mac.

    Hi there people. I hope you can help me. I have had premiere pro CS3 on my windows system for some years but now run a Mac with Master Collection CS5, my problem is that my existing prproj files on windows format do not open in CS5 Premiere Pro for Mac, I get a message telling me that I need to see the user guide for importing options, I have tried to do so, but there is no information about how to do this.
    Can anyone here please tell me how to get around this, as I need to rework some of these old windows projects however my old windows system is totally dead now so I cannot open the files in the CS3 windows version either.
    Please help, oh and spare me the useless windows vs. mac arguments.
    I hope someone here can help
    Thanks

    Since you are trying to Open a CS3 PC Project, you should not have THAT many issues in CS5 Mac. Have you tried both the Open and Import - similar but different operations? Have both methods failed?
    One possible problem would be the Effects & Transitions used in the CS3 PC Project. Here is a LIST of the Transitions and Effects in CS4 for the PC, that are missing in the Mac version. I would assume that CS3 and CS5 would be similar. However, in similar cases, PrPro has thrown a more specific error message. I have only Opened Pr 6.5 Mac Projects into PrPro 2.0 PC, and these have been almost perfect. Where there were missing Transitions, I got a very explicit message, telling me what had been used that was missing from my program, and exactly where the problem existed (specific TimeCode). In my case, two Transitions just did not exist in my PrPro 2.0, and one was a 3rd party Transition, or Effect, and I did not have that. Still, the older Mac Projects Opened fine, and I just made note of where I would need to make changes. I would anticipate that similar would occur, if the Mac version did not have some Transition, or Effect, but do not know specifically. Still, based on the warning messages that I got, with such complete documentation, I'd expect similar.
    Now another consideration - Assets. If there are Assets that you cannot work with on your Mac, say DV-AVI, or WMV, those would likely throw an error. Again, I would expect that error message to elaborate a bit more.
    Do you know the details of your CS3 Projects and their Assets? Anything that you can think of there?
    Just thinking here, and unfortunately, I have never gone the direction that you are going, and with the versions that you are working with, so something simple and glaring (to others) might just be slipping past me.
    Good luck, and maybe others will have much better input on your issue. Also - welcome to the forum!

  • Question about CS3 & Windows 7...

    I'm actually asking for a friend. They have CS3 Master Collection and they are running Windows XP SP3. They want to upgrade their system to a Windows 7, but they don't want to be out of the Adobe products either, especially after the price they paid for them. They will eventually be upgrading to CS 5.5 by the end of 2012.
    However, the friend has heard mixed feedback about it. Some people who have installed it on their Win7 system said it WORKED, but it made their system performance DRAG. Other people have said that it WILL NOT install... it gives errors and will not activate.
    Has anyone successfully installed Photoshop CS3/CS3 Master Collection on a Windows 7 system? Will my friend need to run the programs in 'Compatibility for Windows XP' mode?
    Thanks for any info you can provide!

    I have been looking now for several weeks, months even for some resolve to the known issues. There are posts about the pdf printer that does not work in windows 7 on the adobe's tech site.. I just wanted geminigirl6879 to know that they may run into issues. Forums are for that reason and the idea that you want to sensor replies to the ligitmate question a user may have really defeats the purpose. I have called Tech Support on my issues, posted on forums and scoured the internet, all i can find is that Adobe does not support windows 7 and cs3. Not only that, the posts i read about CS5.5 on widows 7 concerns me about adobe and their attitude to us smaller users.

  • CS3 windows version how can I run it on an iMAC

    I want to upgrade my PC and I am thinking of getting an iMAC with 24" monitor but no one can tell me if I will be able to use my windows version of CS3. I have Lightroom and that seems to run in both platforms.

    (This question is not about the Photoshop SDK, which is a tool for
    programmers. I will answer anyway, but please post future questions in
    a more relevant forum, thanks! ...)
    You certainly can't install Windows software directly on a Mac. If you
    have Lightroom which runs on either platform its because you have
    installers for both Mac and Windows software, which is not what you
    get for all programs on the CS3 disks. With rare exceptions you would
    need to buy ALL your software again, unless the vendor offers both
    versions on one disk, or a way of upgrading between PC and Mac.
    However, if the Mac is running Leopard, you can buy and install
    Windows XP (full retail version, using a disk which came with a PC is
    NOT allowed) and then boot up Windows in place of Mac OS X. Then you
    can run CS3 for Windows, and any other of the Windows software you
    don't want to buy.
    I wouldn't personally recommend buying Vista instead.

  • Startup with Premiere Pro CS3 - few questions

    Hi,
    I am totally newbie to video editing (and to ADOBE CS programs).
    To introduce, here's my setup.
    New camcorder (Canon VIXIA HV30, HDV format, miniDV) - still in the owner manual for very basic things...
    Premiere Pro CS3 (soon CS4 as entitled to upgrade)
    Vista x64 Home Premium
    Core 2 Duo 1.86 Ghz, 4GB RAM
    Firewire card
    I just started to fool around with CS3 and with this camcorder, doing some tests (I use the mini DV HD tapes).
    When I capture to Premiere, here are some of the annoying things happening :
    1) instead of viewing in real time what is happening, I get a multilingual screen saying that tape is being captured... (very very useful !!...)
    2) when I playback the scene, I see edges of things kind of blinking white - just the edges - some sort of what I would call 'distortion' but maybe it's not the right term... Is this just a matter of not having a high-end video card and then, I should not worry: the editing I would do would not appear on a DVD or a published video ? Or, am I doing something wrong ? (last but not least: does it have to do with the camera ? - although I do not see this when watching on the camera side viewer.)
    3) This camera can shoot 30p, 24p, hi-def (but HDV format - not AVCHD): what should be the setup to choose :
    - on the camera ?
    - when I launch Premiere and am prompted with a window to choose format?
    Let's start with these basic questions...
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Rob,
    1.) You *may* have problems with CS3 and 64-bit OS. CS4 is optimized to work with (though it is still a 32-bit app) 64-bit OS. Things *should* be better. CS3 works beautifully with 64-bit OS for some. Others are not so lucky.
    2.) With the Capture of HDV, you will not get real-time Capture preview - nature of the beast.
    3.) Can you post a tiny amount of this footage, or a still cap to show what it looks like?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Photoshop CS3 to Dreamweaver CS3 CSS question

    Hi all,
    I am sorry if this is allready dicussed a couple of times.I did a search and just could not find it. When I export a site from Photoshop CS3 to DIV (generate CSS by ID) it is aligned to the left and all DIV's have a specific position on the page. How can I get my site to center in Dreamweaver CS3 without having to adjust al separate DIV's?
    For Example: When I export from Photoshop all slices are exported as folowed.
    #Table_01 {
    position:absolute;
    left:auto;
    top:0px;
    width:832px;
    height:562px;
    right: auto;
    #test-13 {
    position:absolute;
    left:275px;
    top:26px;
    width:9px;
    height:189px;
    #test-14 {
    position:absolute;
    left:284px;
    top:26px;
    width:128px;
    height:98px;
    I know how to make a DIV center (with Margin auto left and right) but I do not know how to center all DIV's at once.
    I hope you are willing to help me with this. In case you have more questions let me know.

    The answer is to not let Photoshop write either your HTML or your CSS for you.  What you show is a disaster waiting to happen, really, and is characteristic of the kind of mess produced by any wizard that writes HTML based on a graphic layout.  Use your graphics editors to produce your graphics.  Build your page in DW.  It's a much better way to go.

    I hope you are willing to help me with this. In case you have more questions let me know.
    Leaving your page with all absolutely positioned elements is really asking for trouble, but here's how to make them all center at once -
    Change this -
    </head>
    to this -
    <style type="text/css">
    #wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
    /* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser window without */
    /* horizontal scrollbars. Change as needed */
    </style>
    </head>
    change this -
    <body ...>
    (the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be mentioned in the body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
    to this -
    <body ...>
    <div id="wrapper">
    and this -
    </body>
    to this -
      <!-- /wrapper -->
    </div>
    </body>
    and see if that helps.

  • Photoshop CS3 Windows 7 compatibility

    Hello,
    I'm going to buy Adobe PS CS3 (from other site), but I'd like to know: is it fully compatible with Windows 7 64bit?

    From Adobe CS6 is the only version of PS you can buy.  Other sites may offer older versions, but you have to be very cautious of bogus copies.  Ebay is full of them.  They look like new professional copies, so just beware. 
    To answer your question, no, you can not "upgrade" to CS6 as CS1 is too old.  I would just be cautious of any offer to "upgrade" to CS4 for reasons stated above.

  • Upgrade from CS3 Windows to CS4 Macintosh

    Hello,
    it's going to look weird and like a question coming back from a few years ago but it would help me a lot if any one had the answer...
    I have a WebDesign Premium CS3 for Windows and an upgrade from any CS3 to Design Premium CS4 for Macintosh.
    But, the CS4 set up assistant doesn't accept the serial number from the CS3...
    I know that you can cross-upgrade to CS5 with a regular upgrade but is it the same with former versions ?
    Ay suggestions ?
    Thanks
    Nicolas

    You can cross-grade from different versions, but you need to give sign documentation from Adobe that you have destroyed the disks. The reason you may have had trouble and why you still may have trouble with a cross-grade is that when you buy an upgrade there are different upgrade disks that MUST be used depending upon the software you are upgrading from. Before you start, you might be best off calling customer service with your two serial numbers and see what is what. You want to make sure you buy an upgrade that will work.

  • If I upgrade from CS3 Windows to CS4 Mac , will my windows CS3 still work?

    Subject says it all.
    I would like to have photoshop CS4 on my mac but be able to retain the useage of CS3 on my windows machine. Is this possible or will upgrading cancel out my ability to use CS3?

    Because i have two computers that i use simultaneously, 1 mac and 1 pc. I would not own a mac if I wanted to run windows on it hehe.
    I have software I use on windows because it is more supported than the mac version of it. ( some companies shouldn't tease and say they have a mac version unless they actually have a tech squad capable of squashing bugs )
    It is very convenient to have photoshop on my windows pc along with that software.
    My PC and Mac are almost identical in specs ( 4gb ram, 2.13 ghz core 2 duo vs 2.4 ghz core 2 duo ) yet my mac can open files from my PC's desktop 10x faster than my PC can. - over the network. I keep my PC in top shape, i defrag, i run malware / antivirus cleaners, I check my registry regularly. Its just not close to being as fast as my mac.
    I use my mac primarily for webdesign/development work and thats why I would love to have a permanent version of photoshop on it. the work I do on my PC is related to 3d and the software I use has very poor mac support.
    So my question has been answered, I am unable to crossgrade to mac and retain a working PC version. so for now, i get to upgrade the PC version and wait for a few more $ until i can grab a full mac version. at which point i might even go all out and grab the $1700 suite.
    Thank you for the help!
