CS4 demo interferring with CS2

I am currently running CS2. I tried the CS4 demo, but found that my laptop was not powerful enough to process the 3d images. I deleted CS4 and would like to continue with CS2. CS2 runs fine now but I have a problem that if I right click a photo and chose to open it, it wants to open it with CS4 and gives me error conditions. I have used add/remove programs to delete CS4 and have also run a registry fix as well, yet this problem continues.

Thanks curt y, I was unaware that I could manage file extensions there. It helped me clean up another issue as well.

Installing CS3 Premium with CS4 demo installed impossible...

I am attempting to merely install Adobe CS3 Design premium on a mac that has the CS4 demo installed. During installation it ejects the DVD and asks to put in the CS4 disk...
I don't have CS4 disks.
Any clues? The plethora of Adobe install and updates issues are well known, and won't add yet another rant here, just looking to see if anyone else has seen this and knows of a possible fix.
Thank you.
Starts with "Currently repairing Shared components", and then it ejects the DVD and then says:
"Installer Alert: Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium: Please insert Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to continue installation".
What? Why?!

Update... using the adobe CS3clean script fixed this.
So strange. But thanks.

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
Please Help!

CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution
It has free demo version at:- http://www.illustrator.repair/
Hope this will be helpful.

Saving InDesign CS4 files for InDesign CS2

I'm about to upgrade from CS3 to CS4 but have a client who needs to open documents I create InDesign CS2. I've been saving files for this clients in CS3's interchange (.inx) format, which has worked fine. But CS4 .inx files will only open in CS3. One work around I found was on TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/08/tuaw-tip-saving-indesign-cs4-files-for-indesign-cs2/), which suggests opening the .inx file in a text editor and changing the version number. The resulting file should then open in CS4. I was wondering if anyone has tried this (with or without success) or has any advice on saving CS4 docs for CS2? Thanks very much!

I'll go with option 3 since I no longer have CS2 on my machine and my
client won't be upgrading anytime soon. Thanks for the help and great
advice.
I'd never use this workflow if I couldn't test it on CS2 before sending it off to the client. Don't know what to tell you here... good luck?
Me, harsh? Is that my rep?
Oh, come on. I can say it another way:
"Peter's going to be way too nice about this... DON'T DO IT."

Illustrator CS4 working slower than CS2

Hi all,
I am working with a PDF file in Illustrator CS4, when I try to scroll with my hand tool it takes forever for the image to refresh and update to the new location. But when I work on the same PDF file in Illustrator CS2, scrolling with the hand tool is fine and the image updates to where I move it to really fast. The I checked the Units & Display Performance in both versions and they appear to be the same. Is there any other thing that I could try to make the PDF update faster in CS4? Thanks in advance.
pwitman

Hello Pwitman,
You are experiencing a CS4 Critical Bug. This CS4 version came with very serious and critical bugs (like the Memory Bug, Crop Marks, Icon Preview. Text spacing, etc, etc, etc.) that Adobe wont care to fix.
May that is why you have not receive a direct answer. The hole program can crash for one font that the CS4 version considers as a corrupt font (even when other programs or older versions can use the same font).
That is why CS2 is more reliable than the "new" version CS4. Adobe is going from bad to worse. I cannot wait to see CS5's bugs that Adobe wont fix.
I made the mistake of buying CS3; and now I do things in CS2 that CS3 or CS4 cannot do. Yep the old version can do things better than CS3 and CS4.
So where is the CS4 update? Well, Adobe will sell you CS5 as an update.

Links in artwork missing in cs4 but visible in cs2.

When i open artwork in cs4 i get warning links are missing and they are missing in links panel...when i open in cs2 it opens normally with links showing in links panel. Artwork was supplied to me and created in cs4.

Flash CS4 Demo - Buggy

I downloaded and installed the Flash CS4 demo today to give
it a trial run. It crashed as soon as I attempted to use it. I
attempted again and now have the SBBOD. Oh, and now Flash CS3
crashes too after having installed the upgrade. Naturally bad
timing since I'm working on a Flash project.
I'm on a Mac with OS 10.4.11
[Edited] I found the separate Uninstall File, so I'll remove
Flash CS4 from my system. Hopefully I can get Flash CS3 back and
running.

Hi Valerie,
In Flash CS4, we changed how Flash reads fonts from your
machine to be compatible with other Adobe applications. However, it
seems Flash has trouble with corrupt fonts, fonts with missing
glyphs, and fonts with misleading information about their font
types. Flash CS3 was more forgiving.
Anyway, please try the following:
Try creating a new user account on your mac and use Flash
with that user. If Flash works correctly for this new user, it
might be due to a corrupt font. You can use Font Book to scroll
through all of the fonts on your system and look for any that don't
show any preview. Remove all of these fonts and retry using Flash
with your original user account.
Thanks,
Nivesh

CS4: old projects with subtitles crash

I have some CS2 projects...
No problems if opened with CS3.
Very BIG problem with CS4 (updated).. The old projects are opened with no problem until I click to active the subtitle track.. then CS4 CRASH.
I have done all these test:
- "Save as.." the CS2 project opened with CS4.
- "Save as.." the CS2 project opened with CS3 and then with CS4.
- Duplicate/remove/add new subtitle track, saving with CS2 and then opened with CS4.
- Delete any temp file/folder.
- Praying in any religion.
c There is no way to use old subtitles with CS4??

That is very sage advice and holds true for PrPro, as well. Though there is good version compatibility, going from older to newer, the process of using older Projects in newer versions of the software can be hazardous, at best.
Every now and then, we "inherit" Projects from older versions, and it can be like walking through a minefield. Sometimes you make it to the other side, but sometimes you don't. Over the years, I've tried to keep an old copy of each Adobe program (my main set of programs) on a machine*. Sometimes, it's just for an old, familiar interface for those RUSH Projects that clients hit you with, but especially with Video, it's for backward compatibility. I realize that it is not possible in everyone's case, but it is a good safety net.
Hunt
* I still have a copy of PS 4, because it did one thing better, than the versions to follow. About once per year, a particular client has a Project, that requires this ancient program. My biggest problem is trying to remember how its interface works, since I've been on newer versions for more than a decade.

How to open CR2 from XSi with CS2?

I want to know if I would be able to open up RAW files from my Canon Rebel XSi with CS2.
First couldnt even preview the raw images on my computer so I downloaded a codec from Canon and now it shows the preview icons as the pics itself. Then I search and realized I would need ACR in my photoshop. Which apparently I already had. I downloaded 3.7 which is the version for CS2 and replaced it in the file folder it specified. I tried the DNG converter 4.1 at first. Now, this one let me select a folder to convert files from(my sd card in my computer) and it showed all the available files in the folder but when I went to convert them it wouldnt convert any of the files. Then I searched around some more. Downloaded the latest version of DNG and installed it. I tried setting the compatibility for my version. When I select a folder in this version of DNG it shows no available files to convert in my folder.
I just shot my pictures in RAW + jpg(yes the file sizes are quite different, i read a thread talking about corrupt files, so idk) this morning. I dont usually deal in RAW but I had been wanting to try it out for a while now. What I am trying to do is take a picture of a painting I did in a quality(would need to color correct) good enough to print. I figured a RAW image would work best for this.
Is there any way I could get this whole RAW image thing to work in CS2? I use windows vista home edition 64 bit, if that matters at all, which I dont think it should.

It's important to note:
The Select Source Folder dialog is for selecting a FOLDER, so you should not expect to see any FILEs in it. Nobody does. The DNG Converter works on folders.
This is just the way the DNG Converter works. Once you've selected the folder, just press the [Convert] button and you'll find it does the job.

Actually, it isn't quite that simple. On a Windows computer, at least all of the ones I have worked on, the DNG converter will actually see and list the files within the folder.

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

What is hpsetup and how do I stop it interfering with my airport?

For a couple of weeks now our household (Powerbook G4 and iBook) have both been sporadically unable to connect to our own network because something called hpset up seems to be in the way.
We don't have any hp printers or any hp appliances in our house. We live in suburbia on 1/8th acre blocks.
I assumed that hpsetup was one of our neighbours with a new wireless printer that is interfering with out setup. How do we stop it interfering? Interferance robustness makes no difference.
Any help much appreciated.

Will Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with 10.6.1 Snow Leopard?

Hello
Can anyone tell me please, if Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with my MacBook OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? Adobe state "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4" in the system requirements, but does this mean, in practise, that Dreamweaver will not work properly with Snow Leopard?
I have tried to find info about this here, but have spend ages wading through masses of complaints about various applications crashing for people after they upgraded to 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Personally, touch wood, I've had no problems with Snow Leopard, but I only really use it for Internet surfing and word processing (my work, music stuff on Logic Pro 8, is done on my Mac Pro which came with Leopard and which I am NOT upgrading - not yet!).
I have also attempted to get an answer from Adobe - I 'phoned their "Pre-sales enquiries" number 0800 028 0148 (in the UK) and spoke to someone who sounded as if she was on the moon and who clearly had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I gave up with them! They didn't give an email address to ask on.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can give a clear, authoritative answer please - if possible.

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and have never upgraded the OS too soon after a new version was launched. Any new OS, like new houses, will have a 'snagging list' - unforeseen problems that arise and need to be sorted before your purchase is truly habitable and functions as expected.
But the stability of OS X 10.5 paved the way for my lapse of judgement when I upgraded to Snow Panther last week, while its compatibility with some major software is still clearly too buggy.
I've been using Dreamweaver (DW) CS4 successfully on OS X 10.5 for some time. Since installing OS X 10.6.1 I now have problems with DW, which I've alerted Adobe to.
When using Design View in DW CS4, any formatted text - from html tags to css tags - disappears from the Design view. The code appears correctly in the Code window and even if you highlight text that has coding attached in Code view - eg text with a url link attached - the Design view continues to ignore it and removes the text from its view. I've discovered that my heading tags (h1, h2, etc) all make the text disappear in Design view in a way that would be the envy of members of the Magic Circle! The only thing that seems to get through is text that is surrounded by paragraph tags.
Thing is that 'Preview in Browser' shows the page correctly (except in Opera, which I've only installed since installing Snow Leopard, so I can't say how this displayed in the previous OS versions).
Also when I upload the site to the server it all seems to display more or less as it should.
So currently it seems that DW CS4's Design view is no longer WYSIWYG! Expect to find lots of text hidden in Design view and have to use Code view much more.
It would be nice to think that Apple and Adobe would talk to each other and work it out between them.
re: Dreamweaver, I'd check back to Adobe.com regularly to see when they upgrade the OS requirements to 10.6.1 (I hadn't spotted before I bought Snow Leopard that they only go up to 10.5 in their OS recommendations).
My advice if you're thinking of upgrading to Snow Panther: delay it until it more of it works compatibly with your major applications. Check the OS spec from each software manufacturer first. Meanwhile I'll just have to wait patiently for Apple & Adobe to get their act together...

NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 (64 Bit) interfering with Microsoft Outlook 2013

Lenovo Community
Can't explain it nor do I understand it but it appears that the latest NVIDIA Optimus Display Drivers (Version 9.18.13.1270 / 8.15.10.2725, dated 05 Jan 2014) is interfering with Microsoft Outlook 2013. For a week I have been working with Microsoft Technical and Lenovo's Premium Support to no avail. I have reformatted my hard drive 4 times and uninstall and reinstalled Office 2013 Pro more time than I can to remember. The issue stared last Tuesday (18 Mar 2014) when I uploaded new drivers from Lenovo and Microsoft. Outlook would not execute (the initial Outlook dialog would just say processing ....) For four day's Microsoft, Lenovo, and I trouble shot everything under the sun. What was odd was whenever Microsoft or Lenovo technicians took control of my computer Outlook worked fine, and when I stated this to the technicians they thought I was nuts, but once I had control the problem returned. Finally frustrated to the hill I once again reformatted my hard drive but this time installed the Lenovo updates and software one at a time creating numerous restore points along the way. When I updated the new NVIDIA drivers the problem resurfaced. When I would go into the device manager and uninstall the NVIDIA driver’s outlook once again worked fine. I finally was able to reinstall (through my restore points) the previous version of drivers and Outlook is working fine. Is there something to this. ??????
Jeff

I always avoid Optimus, it's historically been way too buggy and very little performance bump over HD4000/4600. I either opt for Quadro machines or just run Intel integrated. That being said, it's a blessing in disguise for you since Outlook is hideos. Consider something else, so many better options exist.
