Does Creative suite CS3 work on windows 8??

I need to buy a new laptop, but no way can afford to buy new software. I have adobe creative suite CS3 - does this work on Windows 8??
I use only photoshop and illustrator.
I've read mixed reports - help is most welcome my laptop is on its last legs!!
Thanks!

You won't know until you try - that's why there are "mixed reports". Officialyl it's not supported, but if you know your way around your computer, you may get it to work...

  • Installed, licensed, and working Creative Suite CS3 fails.  How do I clean Adobe off my system for new installation?

    I run Macbook Pro with Mavericks.  I have a licensed copy of Creative Suite CS3 installed.  It simply stopped working.  InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator close upon opening.  Tried repairing the installation, uninstalling, and reinstalling.  Didn't work. The reinstallation did no provide an opportunity to enter the serial number. Tried CS5cleaner.  Didn't work.  It left the applications installed and deleted the uninstall application.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The system requirement for CS3 is :
    Macintosh
    PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor (Adobe Premiere® Pro, Encore®, and Soundbooth™ require a multicore Intel processor; Adobe OnLocation™ CS3 is a Windows application and may be used with Boot Camp)
    Mac OS X v.10.4.9; Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
    1GB of RAM for DV; 2GB of RAM for HDV and HD; more RAM recommended when running multiple components
    24GB of available hard-disk space to install all core components (up to 1GB of additional free space may be required during installation); custom installing select components requires less space
    Dedicated 7,200 RPM hard drive for DV and HDV editing; striped disk array storage (RAID 0) for HD; SCSI disk subsystem preferred
    Core Audio compatible sound card
    1,280x1,024 monitor resolution with 32-bit video card; Adobe recommended graphics card for GPU-accelerated playback
    For OpenGL support: Some 3D features in Photoshop CS3 Extended require an OpenGL 1.4 capable graphics card with at least 64MB of VRAM; Adobe After Effects® supported OpenGL 2.0 card (NVIDIA recommended)
    DVD-ROM drive
    Blu-ray burner required for Blu-ray Disc creation
    SuperDrive required for DVD burning
    QuickTime 7.1.5 software required to use QuickTime features
    Internet or phone connection required for product activation
    Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos* and other services
    Please compare it with your system specification.

  • Lightroom refuses the correct serial number. Creative Suite stop working.  Adobe is treating people with total disrespect and does not even have a phone number where we could call. I will move soon to other software,

    Creative Suite stop working after backing up the program from Time Machine. Adobe is treating people with total disrespect and does not even have a phone number where we could call. I will move soon to other software. I paid for the software and it is totally abusive this behavior from Adobe.

    Trying to reinstall via transfer does not work.

  • Creative Suite CS3 - Windows 8 Pro

    Dear all,
    I bought a new laptop for higher performance but it is with Windows 8 Pro.
    Do you know if Creative Suite CS3 is compatible with Windows 8 Pro? If not how many costs the upgrade? I weekly use Photoshop almost, the other ones less than monthly.
    Thank you for your support,
    Kind regards,
    Sandra

    yes, it's compatible though you may need to install using compatibility mode.

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Creative Suite 3 Premium on Windows 8

    Does Creative Suite 3 Premium (CS3) run on Windows 8?
    Thanks!

    Either not at all or not reliably. In either case, attempting to install it will cost a lot of time and nerves and may still leave you with software that doesn't function properly. You better look into otehr options like getting Creative Cloud....

    Lion does not support PowerPC, Rosetta was removed.
    CS2 was always a problem on Intel macs, many waited for CS3 and above to come  out before moving to a Mac Pro.

  • Creative Suite CS3 installation errors

    Hello,
    I have installed my copy of Creative Suite CS3 several times on my PC. However, recently my PC was hit with a virus. I reinstalled Windows XP/SP2. When I now try to install Creative Suite, I get errors every time.
    I've tried to install it now five times. The message that I'm getting is similiar to "component installation failed". (I'm recalling the message from memory.) I'm trying to put Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver on my machine, but this error appears with every application I attempt to install.
    I'm not aware of any error log that Adobe is keeping with the installation process.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.

    Adobe customer support has kindly provided me this KB article:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401401&sliceId=2
    I'm going to go through these steps this weekend.

  • Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and won't activate

    I Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and it won't activate.  Phone number for activation no longer works just directs to website. Any ideas on getting it activated?

    Hi management-2,
    Welcome to the Adobe Forums,
    The best option would be upgarde to the present version as CS3 is not supported by Windows 7

  • Laptop specs suitability for Creative Suite CS3

    Hello,
    I need to spec up a laptop for a work colleague to run Creative Suite CS3, particularly Premiere CS3. The machine will be used primarily to capture and edit SD video - HD is not a requirement. Our IT department has provided the following specs. Can anyone advise what needs to be added/changed to ensure Premiere will run correctly and efficiently.
    I think my main concern is support for the graphics card and whether the machine would be better running XP rather than Vista.
    Dell XPS M1730
    Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 4 MB L2-cache)
    Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
    Base Warranty - 1 Year XPS Premium Hardware Support (incl. Gaming and On-Site Support)
    Crimson Red with White LED Backlights
    17.0" UltraSharp WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT with TrueLife with Integrated 2.0MP web cam
    2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
    320GB (7200rpm) SATA RAID 0 Stripe (2x160GB)
    Dual 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8700M GT graphics with NVIDIA SLI Technology
    Fixed 8x DVD+/-RW Slim Slot Load drive, including SW
    Primary 9-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (85 WHr)
    Our institution primarily deal with Dell and this spec was provided by our IT department. Personally I prefer HP machines so if anyone has any other reccomendations please advise - also anything else I may need to consider.
    Budget for the machine is up to about £1500
    Thanks

    I've been working with my new Dell XPS M1330 for a week now.
    T7500, 2 G RAM, nVidia 8400, 160 SATA 7200rpm drive, Vista Home Premium.
    Prem CS3 with Cineform AspectHD worked fine on HDV short 2 to 3 minute stuff...did not attempt longer.
    Today my external SATA 7200rpm drive and SATA ExpressCard arrived. Using it, with my internal drive used now for system/programs only, I just captured 10 minutes HDV, applied a few titles and transitions, and output to 1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality.
    No problems...yet.
    Almost as fast as my Desktop with Pentium 940D, two striped Raid sets and 4G RAM on WindowsXP Pro.

  • Adobe creative suite cs3 design premium

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought the new macbook pro (10.9.2) and was wondering if the ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE CS3 DESIGN PREMIUM software would still work on the new laptop? If anybody could help me, it would be most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Amy

    I just had a look at some of the Adobe CS3 products at Roaring Apps (http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a) and it seems that most of the apps in the CS3 Design Premium Suite will, surprisingly, work with Mavericks.
    Not you'll just have to find a way to install it (unless you're restoring from a backup - in which case you'll probably still need your activation code).
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Download Creative Suite CS3

    My old PC died and I am trying to find out how to download my Creative Suite CS3 to my new PC. I found the product key under "My Products" but could not find where I can download the product.

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Are you talking about adobe creative cloud? 
    If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything.  I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it.  that means you really do not own it.
    About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud).  so ether way, it will take some space. 
    Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud.  The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions.  if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

    I previously purchased adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium my windows computer crashed, i recently purchased a MAC Is there some type of platform swap available?

    No, CS2 does not qualify for a platform swap.  Only the most recent version (CS6) qualifies.
