CS5 won't load on my New Windows 8 computer

My computer was fried by lightening and I bought a new Windows 8 computer.  I have CS5, but it won't load.  The disc doesn't automatically start in the drive, and when I look at the files on the disc, I cannot locate a setup, install, or .exe file.  Any suggestions?

I wouldn't count on CS5 working with Win 8 but in this case you may have
a bad disk (or you're using the content disk). You can download the
installer from here:
http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Follow the directions EXACTLY or it won't work. You can use your serial
number to activate it.

  • Trying to install CS5.5 web premium on a new Windows 8 computer

    I am trying to install CS5.5 web premium on a new Windows 8 computer. I had installed it before but Illustrator would not run. I tried reinstalling just Illustrator that did not work. So I uninstalled the whole suite, and planned to reinstall the whole thing. But I get "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." So I download ASA, and try to run the .exe and nothing happens.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, then try again. Also check this:

  • Photoshop CS5 won't load since I installed Yosemite!

    Since loading Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 won't load and I get this window!
    I'm on an iMac 21.5 mid 2011.

    It seems a lot of people are running it without a problem, just seems to be me that has this issue at the moment, I have just got CS5, but I need it and can't afford the stupid leasing system they now have. I just want the product I paid for to work, or I will have to find a similar system that I can simply buy and use, not pay out for every year!
    I had this when Mavericks came out and it was sorted, something to do with Java, but can't remember what...

  • Problem Moving PhotoShop 7.0 from old windows Xp computer to new Windows 7 computer

    I have been using Adobe Photo Shop 7.0 for several years on Windows XP   a legally purchased copy as a download so no disc.  I have transfered all the Adobe files over to the new Windows 7 computer.  When I run the Photo Shop 7.0 program, it starts to load and the grey backround loads and then a pop up message " Couldn't complete request because of missing or invalid personalization information."   And it will not allow me to go any further.  I cannot afford a new version, retired and on fixed income.  Can anyone help me make this work.  I have my whole old hard drive copied to an external drive. 

    Jbargisen I am sorry but you will need the eligible full version serial number in order to install.  If the serial number is registered then it should be available under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find additional details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • Downloaded firefox to new windows 7 computer and system would not restart, windows repair deleted firefox to fix the problem

    When in started my new windows 7 computer I loaded office and a couple of other programs that I wanted. I then tried to download firefox. When I restarted the computer the system startup failed and all the windows options to repair or open in safe mode failed. I reloaded windows 7 and didn't load any other software then tried to download firefox and the restart failed. However, windows repair did a fix and I was able to restart but noticed that windows had deleted firefox. What is going on and how do I get firefox to load without causing problems?

    What likely happened is Windows did a System Restore, which removed Firefox and everything that had been installed after.
    Try starting up Windows, install Firefox. Then Restart, then install everything else one at a time. If Windows fails to start up after one install, you know that's the problem.

  • I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

    I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

    iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
    However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

    How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)?    I tried backup & restore without success.  I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there.  Only the text that I entered shows.  I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

    UPDATE:  By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored.  When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer.  Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location).  No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact.  I am appreciative that I just got lucky.  The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help.  If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product.  Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed. 
    Bottom line:  All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer.  I hope my experience helps others.

  • Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

  • How do I transfer iTunes to a new Windows 7 computer?

    How do I transfer my ITunes to a new Windows 7 computer?  Do I download iTunes and then transfer files, or transfer files before dowloading program?

    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
    Your playlists are part of the library.itl file which controls everything you see when you open iTunes.  That is why it is essential you move the whole iTtunes folder and everything it contains, especially the library.itl file.  iTunes library is a bunch of files and folders working together and if you omit some then it breaks.
    Stating simply, "This did not work for me," offers the presumption you are content with that status.

    I had my itunes library on an external drive, I now have a new Windows 7 computer. How can I access my library?

    Hello, robertfromboulder city.
    Thank you for the question.  You can direct iTunes to read your media off your external drive.  To do this, follow the instructions below.  See the section in the first article labeled Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location.
