CS3 Won't Work

I have installed -successfully - CS3 on my HP m9500y. During installation the disk checks system (ok) and Installation (ok).
I am not asked to register during the process. I try to open the program from the program menu in my start button. It seems to open with a quick flash of something colorful, then goes to a dark grey screen, with the menu bar at the top, and a neverending hour glass. I wait, and nothing changes. I try to click the Fine menu, and the screen changes to a lighter grey and at the top where the program name is located it says Adobe Photoshop CS3 not responding. I have uninstalled and tried to reinstall several times. At one point someone mailed me a photo, it had the Ahotoshop Icon, and when I tried open it, the registration came up. So I registered, thinking hurrah it is going to work, but to no avail. I am frustrated with this waste of money, that my organization can not afford, and would not consider upgrading to another version, as it looks like people are having problems with the newer programs as well. Please help.

Mike thanks for the info,
Do you really think it is the license though?
I don't get a message telling me that there is a problem with my license or
not licensed,
It just freezes up with that never-ending hourglass.

Virginia

Video in CS3 won't work

Hi,
I have placed a small video ( which I know is ok as I put it
into other versions) in CS3 , but when I upload the page it's not
there!
Can anyone please help.

Bad recommendation. You will now have the "Click to activate"
prompt in IE.
It would be much better to just upload the Scripts folder....

My adobe illustrator CS3 won't work with OS X Yosemite

after installing OS X Yosemite software upgrade my Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not open with the ability to use the tools, only as a Read only file. I was told to install JavaForOSX2014-001 but that has not helped.

Yes I am having the same exact issue. CS6 works fine except for InDesign. I have used the Java Legacy Updater with no help to the scenario. Just bounces up/down and then gives me this nice little error message, which I get repeatedly:

Script for CS3 won't work in CS2

Hello all,
I am new to scripting and trying to get a script written for CS3 to work in CS2. The script was given to me a participant in the InDesign forum. At any rate, here is the script:
for (n=0; n<app.selection.length; n++) {
app.selection[n].move([23.44, 100.05]);
I get an error messsage that says
error #19
error string "bad argument move"
Line: 2
Source: "app.selection[n].move([23.44, 100.0});"
Offending text: "100.0"
As i said I am new to scripting and have been perusing the scripting manual but cannot gather what my error was, and I am trying to meet a deadline.
Cheers in advance!

Ok, me again.
I got it working - well, it moves the text boxes I select - but for some reason the Y variable isn't coming out correctly.
For example, if I use the coordinates 32.385, 16.231 in a script, it moves it to the correct spot on the X axis, but the coordinate for the Y will be off. Further, depending on what text box I select to move, it will vary (by 1-5 mm) along the Y axis. Different text boxes go to different areas along the Y axis, but never far from the script coordinate.
So I guess there does need to be some alteration made? I'll post this in the script forum too, not really sure where it belongs with this particular problem.
Bleah.

Nobody can fix your issue from remote. Our telepathic powers only go so far.... You can download installers of your products using this method:

Illustrator CS3 Won't Work "Fatal Error - Missing Component", HELP!

HELP!
I have installed adobe illustrator CS3 and when i try to open it it comes up "Fatal Error - Missing Component" underneath stating: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS3/Client/3.0.0/VersionCue.framework. Is there anything i can do? Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like a permission problem where the folder or directory containing the framework my be not be avaiiable.
I would go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and run the Illustrator CS3 Uninstaller.
Trash the preferences if they have not been removed and check the Application Support an Cache folders to certain there are no remnants of CS3 on system.
Then reinstall. Do not install version cue with this new install.

Reinstalled CS3 won't work

I own Photoshop CS3. My computer hard drive crashed so I am reinstalling everything.
I originally downloaded CS3 from Adobe and I have the product Key. I have a backup of the original Adobe files that I downloaded in 2010, on a CD. I put a copy of the files on my new C: drive and then installed the software. It installed fine, but when I open up CS3 it freezes, it shows the CS3 menus but I can't do anything else.
Is it because I didn't deactivate my old CS3? (I can't deactive because the hard drive is toast)
Any help?
thanks Ian

Congratulations on being one of the smart ones to make a CD of your original download. I would try resetting preferences first to see it that helps.
Start PS and immediately hold down shift alt ctrl keys. If fast enough you will get a reset window.
Also, update your GPU drivers from the manufacturer. Same with printer and scanner. They can be cause of problems.

Flash CS3 trial version - Dreamweaver 8 won't work anymore

I recently installed the trial version of Flash CS3. It
worked fine, but after the 30 day evaluation period, Dreamweaver 8,
an app I've had installed for a few years now ceases to work. It
loads up, then immediately crashes. Prior to that, both apps worked
fine concurrently.
I uninstalled the Flash CS3 trial version. Still, Dreamweaver
8 crashes.
I found the CS3Clean Script, ran that, and Dreamweaver 8
still crashes.
I'm positive this has something to do with the 30 day
evaluation period, because I was using Dreamweaver fine yesterday.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I've tried re-installing Dreamweaver along with the 8.0.2
update and still get the same results.
I have Flash 8 installed already, if that helps.
Thanks.

This really depends on what exactly you want to do.
To export Photos from iPhoto to the Finder just use the Export command: file -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
But this will not save you any disk space unless you also delete the photos from iPhoto.
If you want to move the Library to a flash drive: first make sure it's big enough.
Then make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the Flash Drive.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Disc image file exported from Encore CS4 won't work

Hello,
I have a problem concerning the export of a disc image file in Encore CS4. I recently upgraded to CS4 and wanted to continue my project which I started editing with CS3. While working with CS3 I already did image files from this project for burning and testing the DVD. Back then it worked with no problems.
However, since using the CS4 version Encore does the image without any problem, but I can't use the image file in any way afterwards. I mounted it with Daemon Tools as I did before, but the DVD won't play in any software DVD player I have installed (Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime) nor can I access the file structure over a file manager. Nevertheless NeroInfoTool and ImgBurn say there is a DVD in the virtual drive. Then I exported the DVD project into a folder and now I can see the files in the file manger but again no player will play it.
Has anyone experienced this before and is able to help? It would be very appreciated since I don't want to downgrade back to CS3 :-)
It's Encore CS4, Version 4.0.1.048 on a 2,8 GHz HT CPU, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6800 UT, lots of HDD space, XP + SP3.
Thank you,
Chris...

Hey,
thank you both. As I said no player accepts the project exported to a folder. It doesn't matter if I point the player to the video_ts.ifo or just the folder - it won't play. As a consequence I re-installed Encore CS3 in which exporting worked fine and guess what - the exported image and folder output doesn't work either. Since it worked before in CS3 it comes down to the conclusion that either I did some editing to the project that screwed the project or Encore CS4 did. Checking for mistakes in the project and previewing in inside CS4 everything seems fine. So might it be CS4 that ****** up the project file??? I mean it's full of strange bugs so it could easily be that. I even updated my Daemon Tools yesterday and it won't make a difference.
Or could it be something else I haven't considered yet? Any ideas? I just don't want to build the whole project again which might not even work if it's some other error. This is a desperate call for help
Thanks,
Chris...

Help! My CS3 won't open RAW files from my Canon EOS 7D..

I have always used Photoshop CS3 - I like it and am quick with it, and I shoot RAW files on Canon EOS.
I don't want to upgrade to CS5, however since upgrading my camera to a 7D, Photoshop will no longer
open my RAW files. I've tried to update plug-ins, I've tried to work through DNG [it won't open those either]
and I've tried for hours on end to get an answer from Adobe on the phone. Nothing is working. Does anyone
have any advice for me please? I'm begining to tear my hair out!! Emma

Hi,
Are you saying your Ps CS3 won't even open the sample DNG file (/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Samples/Doors.dng)? If that's the case then you need to make sure you have the correct Camera Raw 4 plug-in installed properly.
If it is just DNGs generated from your 7D files, then maybe the DNG Converter options need to be tweaked.

Help CS3 isn't working correctly in my new computer

I just bought a new computer...I had no choice..the other one was dying. I do basic photo editing, but I do it daily.
I have loaded my CS 3 onto my new Asus, with Windows 7 and i5 processor. Before I bought I did a lot of asking of friends and computer shops...all said CS3 would work just fine with this set up. I have it installed.....BUT I do alot if editing in camera raw with my jpegs. So far when I was setting up brideg, the computer pops us telling me that it won't work well with my processor. The whole reason I got the i5 was because I was told it would work best with it. It was a huge deciding factor for buying the computer. When I open the files in camera raw, it wil llet me edit, but won't save anything..I'm assuming because it doesn't like the i5 processor. it tells me it' unable to save conversion, access denied. Is there anything I can do. I really DON'T want to upgrade. I just spent a lot on a computer I was told would work with CS3 by several people and I am not good with change. I like CS3, it works for what I need and I prefer not to have to learn anything new, even if thechanges are minor.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Jenseib
I'm no expert on the technical in's and out's of Photoshop - hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself will chime-in soon - but this might be a Win7 issue; is your User Profile set-up as an "Administrator?"
As for your CS3, a word of warning. As of CS6, which should be released in April, Adobe will only allow us to upgrade from One Full Version back, as opposed to the three versions we are currently allowed.
What that means to you is that when CS6 is released, if you are NOT on CS5, you will NOT be able to upgrade to 6 or any further releases, you will have to buy a new full copy, which will be very expensive; a new copy of Photoshop CS5 is roughly $700!
Good luck
Paul

Photoshop CS3 is not working with my Intuos suddenly!!! Pen goes in crazy lines instead of behaving?!

I am so frustrated tonight. My BRAND NEW Wacom Intuos tablet worked fine the last time I tried it, a couple months ago. I am running a Mac OSX with Parallels and Windows 7, which I run Photoshop CS3 on. It was doing fine but now suddenly I try it tonight and it goes crazy when I'm trying to paint with the brush--sensitivity is gone, it's just a thick line; more importantly, it won't behave!! The pen keeps spazzing and doing these retarded straight lines instead of going where I want it to go!!! It works perfectly fine outside of Photoshop, both on the Windows AND Mac side, so obviously this is a Photoshop problem. I've installed the latest Wacom Intuos driver for Win7 and it won't work. I've tried having Photoshop open first and then plugging in the tablet and I've tried plugging in the tablet first and then opening Photoshop. still no good.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

You installed the latest driver from here?
Drivers | Wacom
Also, resetting the photoshop cs3 preferences could help.
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Shift+Cmd+Option) keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes because you do.
