CS4 Install - BSOD After Disk 2

I'm on Windows XP installing CS4 Design Premium. First disk goes alright - second disk seems okay and then fizzes and I get Blue Screen. Everything installs except for InDesign. I've made sure Windows, drivers, etc. are up-to-date and run virus/malware scans and it seems I'm clean. Can I restart installation from Disk 2 to finish it up? There's no "Autoplay" feature. Or do I have to uninstall & start from scratch?

BSOD can only be caused by an unrecoverable hardware error or a problem with an operating system component, most likely a device driver. There is no code provided by Adobe for the Creative Suite or its installers which operates as "privileged code" that would be capable of causing BSOD. Listen to Bob and get your system checked out.

  • Can't get CS4 to start after disk change

    I've changed by boot disk on my macbook pro running osx 10.9 to an ssd.
    Since then I can't start CS4 and it says licensing has stopped.
    i have had this once before a few years back when I had a disk problem and had to restore from backup and I used the license recovery tool and managed to get it working. This time I have tried the tool and all the steps on the recovery doc and still doesn't work. Maybe connected with 10.9 of osx?
    I have spoken to customer support and they say they don't give support for older products and suggested I go to the forums or buy the latest product version!
    I have the serial number but I don't have the software cd any more. I didn't think I'd need it with backups etc.
    I even looked to see if the old CS4 free trial was available but the link on the prodesigntools adobe site doesnt work either so I guess that's been removed.
    Can anyone advise please because really stuck now?
    I still have the old internal disk that I could boot from but if I do that is there then a way to do something to transfer to the new drive to get it to work on there etc?
    Thanks
    Mike

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

    You must use the Windows formatter to format your Windows partition NTFS. Please be sure you select the Windows partition otherwise you might end up formatting your OS X partition NTFS.

  • BSOD After Installing Boot Camp 5640 Drivers on Win7 x64

    I get a BSOD after installing the Boot Camp 5640 drivers on Windows 7 x64 Professional due to "CACHE_MANAGER". If install the drivers individually, this does not happen (provided I don't run bootcamp.exe).
    This wouldn't be a problem except that I can't get the trackpad working properly without running setup.exe or bootcamp.exe.

    Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

    Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
    It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
    Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

    I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

  • After Effects CS4 install on Win XP 64bit OS

    I am trying to install the After Effects CS4 trial unto a Win XP 64bit OS.  There was only one trial download available and figure that if there is a 64-bit trial versions, it would be packaged with this also.
    The installer designates installation location as "C:/Program/Adobe" which is correct as this is the 64bit program folder location.  However, it actually drops the application in "C:/Program Files/Adobe (x86)".  Also when After Effects CS4 is ran, it shows up as a 32-bit app in the Windows Task Manager process list (labeled as "AfterFX.exe *32")
    If possible, is there a way to get After Effects CS4 properly recognized as a 64bit app under XP64?  I know this OS is not fully support per system requirements, but managed to install Photoshop CS4 as a 64bit app without issues.
    Another thing that confuses me also is the After Effects CS4Readme/technote:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405854http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405854#_Toc162848026
    Per known issues ...
    "When installing on 64-bit editions of Windows Vista, an incorrect default installation location appears. The application will be installed in the correct location: C:\Program Files (x86). (#BG064131)"
    Does this mean After Effects CS4 is a 32-bit only app?

    Thanks for the quick clarification.  I figured since video is so memory intensive, After Effects and Premier Pro would naturally be the first apps in their lineup to receive full 64bit compatability.  Seems Photoshop CS4 is the only full 64bit app in their productivity line up.
    Sébastien, thanks for breaking down the benefits of still going with a 64bit OS for AE!

  • Strange yellow color cast after CS4 install

    I just ran into a strange problem helping a friend install PS CS4. Everything seemed to go fine, but now all of a sudden his images are displayed with a strong yellow tint. I don't mean a slight color cast, I mean a STRONG yellow tint. The images appear the same in Photoshop, the Bridge, and even ACR. I re-calibrated the monitor (Gretag McBeth) and generated a new profile just be sure, but that wasn't it. The same images viewed in other applications (Picassa, opened in a browser, etc.) on the same computer display normally. This appears to be only Photoshop related. What's also interesting is that CS3 now exhibits the same problem after the CS4 install.
    I reviewed all the color settings and workflow, and nothing is out of the ordinary. The Nikon raw images were imported via ACR, and opened in Photoshop with ACR workflow options set for 16 bit/Adobe RGB. Photoshop working space is Adobe RGB. I also installed the 11.0.1 update. But here are what may be a couple of clues. First, it's not just the image files that look bad. The colors are awful in the color picker in the toolbox. The entire color picker slider is almost all yellow and orange. And here's another good one. We tried importing some new raw images via the photo downloader in Bridge. With the downloader in Advanced mode, the image previews before download show the same yellow cast. But after I click the Get Photos button, the image colors appear correct as they flash on for a couple of seconds while being downloaded. This has got to be a big clue for someone. What's different about how the image is displayed during that two second preview during the actual download?
    The PC hardware is a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Dell tower (2G ram) running XP Pro w/SP3, with a nVidia GeForce 7800 graphics card, and the screen resolution is 1024x768. I'm thinking maybe a graphics card issue or corrupted system profiles, but I'm a Mac and he's a PC so my PC troubleshooting skills are limited.
    Has anyone else seen a problem like this before?? Any ideas? Thanks!

  • IWork is not working on Yosemite after a fresh install from the disk

    Hi,
    I've freshly install yosemite on my computer.
    I first reinstalled my computer with original Snow Leopard and then made the upgrade to Yosemite.
    After that I used the Migration Assistant to transfert my old applications.
    Most of them are now running perfectly but I'm still facing issues with iWork.
    It refuses to launch with a message error saying that "Pages" for example is not working with this version of Mac OS and I should make al available update.
    There are indeed updates available from the App store but I can't download them because it is not available for my apple ID because someone else bought it or I cancelled the buying ?!
    It's strange because I bought it with my Macbook Pro in 2010 and even after a fresh install from the disk, the message is still the same...
    Any idea how to unlock these updates?

    Actually this doesn't explain everything.
    I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard / iWork 09' and then upgraded to Yosemite and everything is working like a charm.
    This issue has something to do with the use of the "Application migration tool" from Mac Os X Yosemite to collect old applications to the new os from another installation...
    I solved my issue this way because I don't have very valuable applications that I want to transfert but for other users, this could be a real issue...
    Thanks a lot for your answer

  • Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

    Hi All,
    I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
    Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
    Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

    Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
    Just a thought ...
    This may help!
    Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
    Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
    It is worth a try!
    All the best.
