Downloaded CS3 won't setup

I downloaded CS3 Web Premium as I don't have disk player in my Macbook Air (osx 10.8.5). I still have the original disk with serial number. So far so good. However, when I launch setup, it starts to inialize and then gives an error message: "start up error, required resources missing."
What am I missing and how can I get this to load? thanks.

try downloading from prodesigntools.com.
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, 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 or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Downloaded CS3 premium from web but it won't let me Setup

    I Downloaded CS3 Permium from the webpage I was provided with on here to my new MAC because I lost my install disc. I am now trying to open Setup to follow those directions but it tries to initialize and gives me an error message and to contact Support....who then tell me all they can do is sell me the newest version. First, what am I not doing for the error message to come up? Also, it IS true I can download this trial web version and put in my serial number to get it to be permanent right? Sorry for the lame confusing questions...I have a 4 month old and am not all there now-a-days!

    copy and paste the error message or attach a screenshot of it.
    and which link did you use to download cs3 premium?

  • Photoshop CS3 won't install from disk

    I have an HP with Windows XP service pack 2 OS. Exceeds all of the requirements to run CS3. Just purchased CS3. When I install the DVD, it will not launch. When I try and run setup from the Adobe CS3 folder, I get an error message as follows; Adobe CS3\setup.exe is not a valid win32 application. This DVD is marked Windows. So I'm dead in the water, can't get out of the gate.
    Anyone have some ideas ?

    ACTUALLY:
    This Ahmbed file came WITH the file I downloaded here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en%5Fus&product=indesign
    The archive file, called
    ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe is 463 MB->
    By running the EXE the installer package Extracts the CS3 Installer to where you point it on your hard drive:
    Here is the TREE from where I installed it to- I dont know if your OSX has a Tree command like this, but Windows DOES:
    C:\DOWNLOAD\Adobe CS3\Photoshop>tree /f

    Note that if I got this in a Windows version straight from ADOBE- And you guys have it in the MAC version...
    And I know where i got it, I downloaded the TRIAL version of CS3 from Adobe. THIS FILE is part of the Adobe Package. DON'T KNOW what it is, but certainly, if you don't like it, you can delete it, like I did, with no Ill effects.
    If it IS a virus however, then someone at ADOBE put this thing right into the package.
    IT IS NOT A CRACK. A Crack for CS3 is the entire Photoshop.exe file, 43 Megabytes- It is dropped into the Photoshop directory before initially running any part of CS3, then when Photosho.exe is run, it inserts a serial number and activates it, bypassing the flexLM licence manager.
    THAT is how a Photochop crack works, one of the cracks I have seen- Others are simply Keygens, like CS2, you perform a Phone Activation, enter the Acvitation code into the keygen, and it spits out the answer code.
    THIS little POS file however, is NOT a keygenm and it is NOT an exe that can be dropped into a folder, it is simply extra code left over from installing CS3, and Adobe made it.

  • CS3 won't print

    I've suddenly run into a situation where PS CS3 won't print. The Print dialog comes up as usual, but after making the selections and hitting Print, the print job never makes it to the printer(s).I'm using Epson printers and running Mac OSX Leopard. I can print to the printers from other applications, and even from PS CS2. I've checked my scratch disk for space, so the images can be spooled, and have plenty of RAM available. The size of the images doesn't seem to matter.
    I recently upgraded to the latest CUPS drivers, but I don't think that should affect PS. Epson says that the printers have built in support in Leopard, so no individual drivers can be downloaded. I would think that PS would be using thebult in drivers that shiop with the OS and not the Gutenprint drivers, anyway.
    Has anyone had this problem before, or a solution?
    Thanks in advance
    William

    CUPS and Gutenprint are two different animals, though the former is needed to use the latter.
    You'll find the uninstaller here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    CAUTIONARY NOTE for CS4 users: If you have an Epson printer model for which Epson does not offer a 16-bit printer driver (for instance the Epson 2200 don't know of any others off-hand)), the latest version of Gutenprint, 5.2.2, will allow you to use 16-bit printing in Tiger and Leopard. In that case, you may definitely want to keep Gutenprint. I've been running it with no problems for about a week.
    Gutenprint 5.2.2, released some two weeks ago, appears very stable and offers several bug fixes from earlier Gutenprint 5.2.x releases.
    On the other hand, don't take this as a riniging endorsement of 16-bit printing (yet) if you're not already experimenting with it. I'm very happy with preliminary results, but it does slow printing considerably, as you're sending an awful lot more information to the printer. :)

  • Can't download CS3 Web Premium files

    I recently moved and then bought a new iMac computer running Maverick OS. I did a data migration of my old hard drive and all the software came along, BUT Adobe won't let me access anything. I can't find my original CDs, but I do have the serial numbers for my CS3 Web Premium software. So I clicked over to Download CS3 products, clicked the file links and got the following message:
    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
    How can I download the apps to my new computer?

    When I use the link you showed it brings me to the page I expect, full of various CS3 downloads.  I am using IE9.  Another option for b=downloading CS3 is to go thru the ProDesignTools web site.  Their downloads are still thru the Adobe servers, just without the download assistant coming into the picture.
    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 and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Downloaded CS3, Computer Died, How do I get Photoshop on new computer?

    Morning,
    I bought Photoshop CS3 (single-user license) about a year ago and downloaded it directly from the Adobe site onto my computer.  All was well in the world.  Then last week my computer's motherboard died and it's looking like I have to get a new computer.   However, I'm unsure how I can get Photoshop (either the original CS3 or upgrade to CS4) on my new computer.  I have the seriel number of my original purchase and the credit card receipt but not sure what to do next.  It doesn't look like I can just upgrade to CS4 since CS3 won't be on the new computer???  Or will it install the entire program and CS3 doesn't need to be on there as long as I provide the seriel number???
    I really appreciate any help!

    It doesn't look like I can just upgrade to CS4 since CS3 won't be on the new computer???  Or will it install the entire program and CS3 doesn't need to be on there as long as I provide the seriel number???
    Exactly that. The update installer only checks the two serials. There is no requirement for any CS3 component to actually be present on the system. For the rest - as Buko said, you should be perfectly able to use your old drive on a new mobo, assuming you do not plan on formatting it or foregoing it in favor of new harddisks. If you do, it would still be smart to at least once plug in the old drive to deactivate PS, so you don't have to bother with calling phone support to do it for you. Reinstalling CS3 on the new system should be no problem, if you have the source files for the installer, but since you seem to plan to go with CS4, I guess it won't be necessary to start any discussions about backup DVDs or not. Still, make sure to always create backups in some form. You never know what happens tomorrow. even without hardware failures, there may be occasions that require a re-install.

  • 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.
    regards
    steve

  • Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

    Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

  • I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

    I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

  • How to download CS3?

    Trying to download cs3 mac. Keep getting error page.
    I'm running Mavericks on a new Mac mini i5, and I go to the download page, Download CS3 products
    and when I click download english- mac, i get the error page.
    How's that?
    I'm also very frustrated with the process. I have cs3 on my old mac power pc, and I want to move it to the mini,
    Safari

    For some reason Safari does give an error, but works just fine with Firefox 30. It's why I have an alternate browser when web pages cause problems.
    So install Firefox and try it now.

  • I have a new laptop and I am trying to download CS3. The site on adobe gives an error message and the one I tried from this forum downloaded CS3 extended, so my serial number does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Regards Vicki

    Hi,
    I have a new laptop and I am trying to download CS3. The site on adobe gives an error message and the one I tried from this forum downloaded CS3 extended, so my serial number does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Regards Vicki

    The trial is always extended. The serial number you enter determines whether it runs as standard or extended.
    I'm getting through fine with that link, so it must be a browser issue or some such thing. Try another browser.
