Dreamweaver CS3 Web Premium won't open

Dreamweaver (CS3) (running Windows Vista) begins to load then
when it starts to load the cache, stops responding. Windows
notifier asks to close program and offer solution - no solution
forthcoming. I've restarted the computer; did a restore; registry
scan, still no luck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. If I have to reinstall,
what should I be saving?
Thanks, Mari

Are you installing as Administrator? Have you scanned the

Dreamweaver MX -- CS3 Web Premium : Uninstall or Install Over?

I've purchased CS3 Web Premium. I currently have Dreamweaver
MX Studio
installed.
Do I need to uninstall the current version?
If I don't, will I still be able to run the old version if I
have
problems with CS3?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greg

Yes.

Install Acrobat 8 by itself from CS3 Web Premium

I have CS5 Production Premium installed and I want to install Acrobat 8 from my CS3 Web Premium. I get the error "Acrobat cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8".
I searched and found this-
Could you please try the following:
1. Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
2. In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
3. Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
Acrobat
Adobe PCD
Adobe PDF
Important: Do not delete these folders.
4. Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
5. Enter your serial number when prompted.
I followed these instructions, it prompted me for a serial number, but my CS3 Web Premium serial number is not working.
Any luck with this elsewhere?

To use the Acrobat from CS3 you need to install at least one of the standard applications so that it can activate the suite. Since you have already installed CS5 you cannot install CS3. While I don't know why you won't go with the Acrobat 9 in CS5 you need to follow the following steps to get going.
1) Deactivate CS5
2) uninstall CS5
3) install CS3 (you can just install something like Acrobat 8 and Photoshop CS 3 you need not install everything).
4) Open and Activate Photoshop CS 3
5) Open Acrobat 8, just to make sure everything is hunky dory.
6) Uninstall Photoshop CS 3 if you insist.
7) Install CS 5 (make sure you do not install Acrobat 9, since Adobe no longer recommends two different versions of Acrobat on the same Macintosh computer).
8) Open a CS 5 application like Flash CS 5
9) Activate Flash CS 5.
All should be well until you want to deactivate and uninstall Acrobat 8.

CS3 Web Premium to CS4 Web Premium student upgrade

Hello,
I recently (yesterday) upgraded from CS3 web premium to CS4 web premium. I deactivated and uninstalled the CS3 first. I am now trying to open my files from the server in Dreamweaver with no luck.
What is happening is,it goes through the download process and when done all it shows is a blank HTML page with nothing on it. It is a little frustrating to say the least. Have I done something wrong? I would have thought the upgrade would be seamless.
Thanks for any and all help.

Try using a free FTP program like FileZilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/ ) and see if you can get the files from your server that way. Then once on your hard drive create the site using Dreamweaver and begin editing that way. If the files download from an external client with nothing in them you may have to restore a back up of your site.

Cannot find CS3 Web Premium disks - do I have to go illegal ?

Hi Folks
I walked into B&H NY, bought an upgrade to CS3 Web Premium (from CS2 suite), and took it back home. Before insatlling it I emailed myself the license keys.
Now, several new computers and several old computer deactivations and crashes later, I needed to reinstall, could not find the original disks so downloaded PS from the Adobe site.
Photoshop CS3 won't recognize my CS3 Web Premium serial !
Adobe support says I need to reinstall the whole suite. There is no download for Web Premium.
I'm seriously angry. I am thinking of dumping the whole activation crap and downloading a pirate version, or even regressing to a pirate version of CS1.
I don't feel comfortable stealing, but although Adobe has confirmed that my serial number is valid they cannot offer me a way to get what I paid for working again.
Edmund

Edmund,
On behalf of Adobe ...
(1) I assume that what you are telling us is that you lost the original disk for your upgrade copy of CS3 Web Premium but you do have the serial number (
not keys).
(2) You also didn't bother to register the CS3 product.
(3) Please call
Adobe Customer Support (not
Adobe Technical Support!) and advise them of the situation of your lost disks. You may be asked to provide some proof of purchase, such as a receipt from B&H showing the item in question. (Note that B&H is closed this week for Passover, but should be open again on Monday!) As Bob Levine indicated, Customer Support should be able to supply you with replacement media for a shipping and handling fee. If you have any problems with the representative you are speaking with, please ask to speak with a Customer Support supervisor and make sure they give you a "case number." If you still have problems, please contact me off-forum directly and I'll see what I can do to assist from Adobe San Jose.
(4) For better or worse, the individual Adobe products have different installers and serial numbers than the suites. That's why you cannot install a downloaded trial copy of Photoshop 10 using a CS3 serial number.
(5) It will certainly not help your case if you start threatening to use pirated software when discussing your problem with Adobe Customer Support. The fact is that YOU lost your disks; Adobe did not cause that problem. But Adobe can make replacement disks available to you if you cooperate. In the future, please register your product ASAP upon initial product installation. You don't have to mail anything in; the product can self register via the internet - all you need to do is provide minimal contact information. One of the main reasons for the registration process is to assist customers when disks are lost, upgrades are required, etc.

HomeSite not included in CS3 Web Premium?

I recently purchased CS3 Web Premium for PC and was surprised
to find that HomeSite is not included in the software. Is this
correct, or is there someplace I can download a copy of it? I was
under the impression that HomeSite was included in the CS3 suites,
or at least included with Dreamweaver (which is part of CS3 Web
Premium). Any info is appreciated.

Well, what a drag. I like Dreamweaver for some things, but
for doing web dev when you are coding stuff yourself I think
HomeSite is one of the cleanest code gen tools I ever came accross.
I like it because it seems to mangle your own written code the
least of any tool when used back and forth from "source code" to
"design" modes.

CS3 Web Premium is missing pieces + crazzzy updater

Hello, I just got my CS3 Web Premium.
No demos installed on my machine before it, so it's all brand new (new computer too).
I ran the DVD, and the installer said there were problems. It said VersionCue had not been installed.
I tried the suite, it seemed to work.
But...
-There was no Adobe Bridge. I tried to evoke it from the apps, no way. It isn't anywhere, not even a folder on the computer.
-Also Photo Pack wasn't there: the icon is in Applications Folder, but double-click and nothing is launched.
-And then, this crazy Adobe Udpater. It's just a message that pops up every single time I open an app from the Suite. It doesn't do anything, doesn't check, connect... no preferences to change, nothing. Just a message and an OK button to send it away.
I had to put it on the desktop to stop it from driving me crazy.
I then uninstalled (following carefully the instructions from the Adobe Support site to perform a clean uninstall), and re-installed. This time, no error message...
But same situation. No Bridge. No Photo Pack. And crazy Updater still there.
I wonder how many things can be wrong that I haven't seen yet... !
Does anyone know what this can be? thank you for the kind attention,
Josh
CS3 Web Preminum, MacBook Pro, Leopard.

Hello to whoever is reading.
Especially people who have the CS3 Web Premium + Acrobat 9 box.
I don't know if this is right or not, whether I'm talking nonsense, but here is my experience, exactly as it happened (except it took days :)
I recently had great problems installing CS3 Web Premium.
In two words, the installer (a DVD) would NOT install a number of parts.
It would not install Bridge, Version Cue, StockPhotos. And the Adobe Updater had some very obvious problems too, because it didn't check anything, all it did was pop up every time I opened an app from the suite.
Basically, I had an incomplete and malfunctioning version of CS3.
So, after a number of attempts which unfortunately spanned across a few days, including performing a clean un-install as suggested by the Adobe site, and a talk with Adobe Customer Support, who told me I had to install by creating a new admin account on my computer (note: a brand new MacBookPro, very unlikely that it would have any seriously bad configuration problems), here is where the unexpected solution popped up.
The fourth time I re-installed, and before going through installing with a different admin, as Support suggested, I tried something I hadn't tried the previous times. Just for the heck of it.
I DID NOT follow the instructions that came in the box that said to uncheck the installation of Acrobat 8. The note said you had to do that with the Acrobat 9 DVD installer, but later.
This time, I just let CS3 install with Acrobat 8 as it would by default.
And, hey! It installed perfectly! All components, and all working as should.
Now... I don't know if it's coincidence, if I missed out on noticing something else.
I'm am illustrator and cartoonist, so I know NOTHING about installers and the sort.
I'm not assuming this is a bug. This is just what happened to me.
So if anybody out there is experiencing the same frustrating thing, well, what the... it's worth the try, ain't it?
Try it... let CS3 install WITH Acrobat 8, and maybe it'll go smooth.
It did for me.
Bye, best, & hope this was useful.
Josh

CS3 Web Premium Suite compatible with Vista 64 bit?

Greeting folks. I realize this is not a Photoshop specific question, but does anyone use CS3 Web Premium Suite on Vista 64? If so, do you have any problems with any of the programs?
I'm contemplating upgrading from Vista 32 to Vista 64.
Thanks!

I just got the Adobe Master Collection CS3 to run on a Dell Workstation (quad core processor, 2GB RAM) with Vista 64 Business. Photoshop is deathly slow, to the point of being unusable. It takes up to 2 minutes just to load the programme. Clicking menu items or drop-down buttons produces no response for about 5 secs. I created a blank layer and tried to draw a simply brush stroke across it - again, a 5 sec delay before the stroke appeared. This makes it impossible to do any useful work. Other parts of the package are better (e.g. Dreamweaver, Illustrator) but Bridge is slow and I have a subjective impression that some of my none Adobe programme are now running more slowly. I did look at CPU and memory utilization - never got about 60% and was mostly around 10%.
When I run the Photoshop CS3 trial on an AMD duo core computer with only 1GB RAM (which is running XP Pro), I get a much snappier response. Makes me suspect a Vista issue.
Since others appear to be having much better success, I would be very interested in any tips, etc. which I might try.
Thanks.

CS3 Web Premium and Vista 64

I see on Adobe's website that CS3 Web Premium is certified
for Vista 32. Has anyone installed it on Vista 64 and if so, does
it work? After spending 3 weeks getting Studio 8 to work properly
on Vista 64 (thanks to all in the forum for your help there), I
don't want to upgrade until I know for sure its going to work.
Cheers
Chuck

Unable to install CS3 Web Premium on Vista

I recently purchased CS3 Web Premium. When I try to install it, it fails. The message I get is - Error 1310.Error writing to file
C:\Config.Msi\43361.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I am running on Vista Home Premium - Service Pack 1.
I turned off User Account Control and I have reset the ownership and permissions for the ProgramData folder as directed in the forum.
Still can't load the software. One thing I find strange about this message is that I don't have a Config.Msi folder. I even tried creating one but that didn't help either.
Please help!

I still have not been able to get this resolved completely. However, I have been able to get the error 1013 from popping up.
I had originally started off doing these steps from Adobe's site : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401528.html however I had no luck with any of the 3 solutions. I then found this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/ and this seemed to have taken the error 1013 from popping up.
However, now when I go to intall it...it will run through the whole installation process which takes 30 mins!!! To only tell me that all the programs were unable to install and to finish. I thought I was getting somewhere with this and then another road block. I can't believe I've now spent 2 days on this going on three.
I also had downloaded some scan program that states they can get Adobe Software installed and take away the errors by cleaning my system. Wait I'm confused here because my system is BRAND NEW. This program also cost like 40 bucks. I had contacted them wondering how on earth they can claim such a thing on a brand new computer...and that there "scan" had shown my brand new laptop with thousands of errors!!! ???? !!!! They only answered that I needed to buy their software to find out...obviously skipping that option.
So this is my last solution to try to fix the problem...I'm running it right now with like 12 games up and running so we'll see if Speed is the problem. here's the link on that topic. http://www.ask.com/bar?q=C%3A\Config.Msi&page=1&qsrc=2417&ab=2&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vistax64 .com%2Fvista-general%2F187289-c-config-msi-problem.html
Last resort will to call support but after reading all the forums I'm dreading the sound of it...someone had spent 6 hours on the phone with not results only to have NO working programs instead of the pre-version they had in working order. Also I'm not sure that I'll be getting any help...it sounds that you need the most recent version.
If this does not work...I'm seriously considering sending back my brand new laptop back in that it was the ONLY reason why I bought the thing was to be able to work while I was away from home. Apparently, I won't be able to do so...or buy a whole new program or license which to me sound rediculous in that I've spent just like everyone else on here the amount for the software and was told that I could have it installed on two computers as long as they were not being used at the same time. Understood but not seem to be working out that way.

In case anyone is still interested in this thread. I called Adobe tech support and they were able to help me finally get CS3 installed. The steps I took were kind of messed up because I'd try something and it still wouldn't work and then I'd try something else. But I think the following was the magic combination that finally worked. I don't know if this would help anyone else but it worked for me...
I uninstalled all the previously installed CS3 components. In fact, I uninstalled everything that started with the word "Adobe" on my computer, even Flash Player, just for good measure.
Then I ran the Adobe cleanup script at level 2
I downloaded the script from here...
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
I went into the "computer" window and set it up to show hidden folders. Click Organize->Folder and Search Options->View. Then click "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
Then I went into C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Adobe and moved all the files in there to a folder on my desktop so there was nothing left in the Adobe folder (I don't think it wouldn't let me move some of the Acrobat files so the tech support guy said to just leave them)
I did the same thing for C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe and moved all those files to a folder on my desktop
Then I deleted all the files from C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roadming\Adobe
I think I ran the cleanup script one more time just for the heck of it.
Next I went to the start menu and on the "Start Search" line I typed "msconfig." When the system configuration window came up, I went to the "services" tab and checked "Hide All Microsoft Services" Then I checked "Disable All" So that disabled everything that wasn't a MicroSoft service. Then I went to the "Startup" tab and checked "Disable All" and restarted the computer.
Then I went ahead and installed everything fresh off the CS3 DVD and it worked the first time. No more 1310 errors with the Config.Msi directory.
Hope this helps someone else.
Good luck!

Serial number issue for Acrobat in CS3 Web premium education edition.

Hi everybody. If anyone can help me on this issue, I would really appreciate it. So far, customer support hasn't been very useful. So here is the issue.
I bought CS3 Web Premium for my 2.16ghz macbook and it was purchased through apple. Anyway, it came with the main disc to install all the applications of cs3 and another disc to install acrobat 9. The way an education edition works is that I don't receive an actual serial number. I receive a product number which I have to enter, along with my info and proof of eligibility on this website called myidentit-e.com When this was all said and done, I received an email that contained a serial number. This serial number worked on all of the regular cs3 applications but not on acrobat 9. There was no other product code included and the directions inside the case said that I should be able to use the same serial number for both the regular cs3 and acrobat 9. Customer service's suggestion was to call apple since I bought it from them but what would they know about that? Adobe seals the products and I'm assuming that Apple is only a reseller.
Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

We've also had this problem. It looks like neither Adobe, My Identit-e nor Adobe will take responsibility for fixing this. All CS3 programs work except for Acrobat, which won't accept the serial number.
Support requests to adobe have resulted in our request simply being "closed" without any actual response from the company.
Has anyone had any luck with obtaining help from any of these companies? Any advice is appreciated.

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.

Need download link for CS3 Web Premium Mac

Hi there. My MacBook was stolen. I replaced it, and I need to re-download CS3 Web Premium. Adobe provides this link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html
However, the CS3 Web Premium link for Mac here goes to an error message page.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/dlm/
Adobe customer support could not help me.
Does anyone here know where I can find a link to this software?
Thank you so much!

Try using a different browser. If I use the link you indicate it opens a download dialogue.
An alternate site for downloading Adobe software is ProDesignTools (The downloads are still thru the Adobe server).
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.

Adobe CS3 Web Premium no longer works after upgrade to OS X Lion

After upgrading my OS to Lion, Fireworks from Adobe CS3 Web Premium has been rendered useless. The color picker no longer works at all, and the program generally crashes within 30-60 seconds of being opened.
Help!

Jill,
I've been banging my head against a wall on this one, trying to figure out what to do.
The 2 solutions I have are: (1) reformat drive and re-install SL or (2) upgrade to CS5.5. Reverting back to SL is going to be a time consuming task considering format, itunes backup, data backup and reinstall everything and I'm not ready to upgrade CS 3 to 5.5 for around a $1000....
I needed to get back up and running quickly, so I purchasd a couple colorpickers from the app store for a couple dollars. This at least gets me back up and running again. They work well. Not a perfect solution but considering the alternatives, the best fix I have right now.
For everyone else that hasn't upgraded to Lion, yet. Carefully consider the software compatibility before upgrading to Lion. If you do media, web or application development, it may break your color pickers or more... check Adobe's or your software developer's site for Lion compatibility for the software you use.
