DW CS3 and VSS BUG

I just recently updated to Dreamweaver cs3 version 9 build
3481 and i am experiencing some problems using visual source safe.
The issue is a little hard to explain so please bare with me. (It's
probably best that i describe what i am doing in steps)
1)check out and modify a file through dreamweaver
2) Save the file.
3) Close the file.
4) re-open the same file. ( A message appears asking "If I
wish to overwrite my local Copy) If I click No, It still pulls the
current version from the vss database and overwrites all my local
changes. IN DW MX this does no happen. Is this an ISSUE or BUG in
CS3? ANY Help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using vss version 6.0d build 9848
connected as remote.
Thats weird that you cant reproduce the problem. We upgraded
3 workstations yesterday to cs3 and they all have the same issue.

CS4, reverting to CS3 (and getting a refund!) but still interested in opinions

I've just spent the last 24 hours trying to muscle my way through the myriad of problems I'm finding with CS4. I've managed to alleviate some, but still can't produce my end video.
To start off, I'm running on Windows Vista. All the problems seem to centre around Media Encoder (although I didn't get far enough to play with Encore or On Location).
Initial problems where to do with installation. If CS3 is removed after CS4 is installed the link to Media Encoder fails, you then have to removed CS4 and reinstall. Uninstall doesn't work correctly or completely, it leaves a fair amount of files behind that have to be manually removed, failure to do so resulst in Error 2 on reinstall (I'm guessing because the install tries to create some of the working directories, and fails because they are already there?).
After reinstallation, the job appeared correctly in Medie Encoder when it was fired up from Export in PP, and it was also now possible to add files to Encoder directly. I tried a test run of my project with the following settings:
H264
Width : 1280
Height : 720
fps : 25
Field order : Progressive
Quality : 4.0 and 5.1 (tried to runs)
Bit rate : can't remember, but atleast 12M for target and perhaps 30M for max?
VBR 2 pass
Sound : AAC
The end video was incredibly jerky.
I tried a second time using the following settings:
Quicktime
Codec : H264
Quality : 100
Width : 1280
Height : 720
fps : 25
Field Order : progressive
Pixel Aspect : square
Use maximum bit depth ticked
Bit rate : 1k (I tried to move this to 5k however it kept reverting back)
Sound : AAC
Export from PP initially failed, the job appeared in the queue, however nothing actually happened, it just sat there. I read on another post that updating Quicktime to 7.5.5 fixes that (does PP rely on Quicktime for the codec?), tried and the job then started.
Upon completion, the video played smoothly, although quality was low (low bit rate?). However the video to audio sychronisation was completely out. 30 seconds of play, and the sound was around a second behind the video.
I then tried applying all of the updates. As with other people, the Encoder portion failed initially (even though I started the update process from Encoder), but then succeeded the second time.
Upon completion of the updates, the problem reverted back to the initial, i.e. the job started OK, but didn't actually do anything.
The render settings I'm using are required by the web site I'm trying to create this video for, and also worked without issue in CS3.
It would seem to me that the Media Encoder portion in CS4, on the Windows version atleast, is seriously flawed (and no, I'm not going to buy a MAC ;-)).
I would like some answers to these problems, despite all the issues, I did like the overall look and feel of the product compared to CS3, and I also now need the AVCHD support.
Forgive any innacuracies in the phrases used, settings etc, CS4 has been removed from my system for now, so it was all from memory.

Stuart,
Maybe I'm just too old and have seen too many "revolutions," to get onto that wagon.
However, the more I follow CS4 threads, the more I am starting to question whether I will upgrade from CS2, or not. Some things look useful to me (more than with CS3), but then there are the problems.
Adobe IS listening, as evidenced by a few of the folk on the team dropping by to give info on updates, etc. Having some major "fixes" so soon upon release, indicates to me, that they are working on it.
I didn't move to CS3 for similar reasons. Also, it really did not offer ME much in the way of useful features.
Whether it's through bug reports, posts in the forum or direct correspondence with Adobe, the best way to get their attention, and provide them with useful data, is to offer as much detail on the specific problem(s) as one can and demonstrate repeatability. General posturing might make one feel better, but does little to get improvements in the program.
As you state, some of the problems are probably OE. Some are system specific, and others are related to 3rd party software. Still, there do seem to be a lot of issues that ARE CS4-specific. These worry me. These are the issues that I would like to see Adobe address. So far, they seem to be, albeit maybe not quickly and efficiently enough for many users. CS4 does seem to be more of a "work in progress," than I am willing to take on just yet, especially as it would also likely mean a new workstation and new OS (one that is not without some problems of its own and a new learning curve also).
I'm fortunate enough to have CS2 and a rock-solid group of systems to use it on. It does 95% of what I'd like for it to do, and that extra 5% has yet to intice me, especially with the "problems" that I've been reading about.
As for the Adobe faces in the forum, they have shown up, when they could actually tell us something. I view that as a very positive sign. Even when they have dropped in, too many people demand to know "WHEN?" something will be fixed. If they knew, they'd tell us.
I'm sorry that CS4 has not gone more smoothly, upon release. It saddens me greatly. However, it is also why I will be waiting and keep reading. For me, this will be an upgrade that will be very expensive, because it's not just the software. I hope that Adobe does get it all running and running smoothly.
I would anticipate, and hope, that the next update fixes most of the issues. I anticipate, and hope, that Adobe will provide us with the same sort of info on it, as they have done with 4.0.1 & AME's update. I also hope that the forum subscribers will concentrate on the info provided and cease with the "WHEN?" The Adobe posters do not know yet, as the coders are still working on it. It *seems* that rushing to meet a product release date might have gotten us into this trouble to begin with.
My fingers are all crossed. Maybe 4.0.2 will signal that it's time for me to make the jump.

Problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6

Hi there,
I am having some problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6 in windows.
1. In Bridge CS3 (Windows XP), most of the time with most of the files, there is no problem. But I found that in some files, the Label does not get changed. I usually change Label by right clicking on the picture, then Label and select any Label. When I do so in those files, nothing happens. But when I rename the file by changing or adding just a single character, then it works. And if I again rename to original name, it still works. But without renaming the Label does not change. Again this does not happen with all pictures, but occationally with some. We usually receive pictures from different clients for editing purpose.
2. In Bridge CS6 (Windows 7), if you create lot of Path using Pen tool in Photoshop for the purpose of removing background, you save the file, close, and change Label in Bridge, again open the file in Photoshop, you see no Path in the Path Pallette. So that means, changing Label works, but it removes the Path from the file. But if there is small amount of path, then no prboblem. But if there is lot of path, like you need to create for a necklace to remove background, then the problem arises.
I am using Bridge for a purpose where it is very helpful so I really need to use Bridge, and Labeling feature is the most important to me, but after feaguring out this problem, I am really tensed as to whether or not I will find a solution to this. So any help, guidance will really be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for any solution.
Best regards

I have re-checked the issue and I found that the problem is with JPG file.
I wasn't even aware you could save a path to a jpeg file (always use PSD because of wanting to keep the Alpha Channel, jpeg only can contain 1 layer and no alpha channels and/or transparency).
However I tried it on a file with a simple path and one with a complex path. It seems indeed you have found a bug. The simple path is no problem but the more complex path is indeed disappearing.
It is not only label but also rate or adding IPTC in the description field. The moment metadata is saved to this jpeg file and reopened the earlier present work path of a more complex path is gone.
Despite the fact that to my opinion a jpeg is not the most suitable file format for saving a work path this should not happen. If a work path is saved to a jpeg then it should be kept saved after just altering metadata in Bridge.
It still is the same behavior in Bridge CC because that is what I use. Don't know when it started but it still needs to be repaired

Help!! Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" very slow on OS X

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a
very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It
only affects OS X users. I know that it has been addressed many
times in different forums, but I never actually stumbled across
anyone having found a solution.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the
simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get
is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it
should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external
Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the
Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of
the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out
at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the
problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic
user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very
very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution
to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the
movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open
Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to
open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs
faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the
solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix
this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is
"Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has or does not have this problem
or knows anything about it!
Thanks,
Mate

DW CS3 and Templates

I'm creating my first from-scratch-site in CS3 and I'm using
templates. In DW8 when I created a template, the template would
automatically include the following code in the <HEAD> tag:

Also, the <TITLE> tag usually became an editable region
automatically. in DW CS3 this doesn't happen; I had to add them
manually, and the first time I did DW put the editable region I
inserted into the <BODY> tab, not the <HEAD>.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it perhaps a bug? It's a
real pain the a**, if nothing else, especially when I consider
getting into nested templates.

> Can it really be that such a simple thing was overlooked
in DW2004,
> DW8 & Dw CS -
Sure. It's relatively unobtrusive, and wouldn't really come
to the top of a
lengthy "must fix" list....

Problems with CS3 and Leopard

Having a bit of a nightmare with Indesign and Photoshop CS3 since upgrading to Leopard. Running a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 With 2GB DDR SDRAM. Anyone else having problems?

Below is the Adobe Marketing Line (copied verbatim). It's what I was told by Adobe Sales and what I read at Adobe.com, FAQ, before buying CS3 in October 07. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all of the issues with CS3 and Leopard, even after the update to Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional which promised full compatibility (see chart at bottom).
Apple and Adobe... ARGH.
Oh yes, for all of the new suckers out there who are about to buy CS3 for their new Macs, the exact same FAQ is at Adobe.com, even now, Thursday, 12 Jun 2008.
ADOBE CREATIVE SUTIE 3 Frequently Asked Questions
Support for Mac OS X Leopard
Q. Is Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) important to Creative Suite 3 customers?
A. Yes, Mac OS X Leopardthe latest version of Apples operating systemdelivers an elegant,
productive new computing experience for creative professionals. Adobe and Apple have been
collaborating closely for months to ensure that Adobe Creative Suite® 3 applications can run
smoothly and reliably on Mac OS X Leopard. We are proud to support this impressive new
operating system, and to ensure that our creative customers can take full advantage of the
performance and value of using Creative Suite 3 applications and Mac OS X Leopard on
Intel-based and PowerPC Macs.
Q. Are Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications compatible with Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5)? If
some are not fully compatible today, when will they be compatible?
A. Thanks to close collaboration between Adobe and Apple, most of the CS3 applications and associated technologies, such as Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3, are compatible with Mac OS X Leopard without requiring additional updates. However, the following CS3 applications will require updates for full compatibility with Leopard: Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and our professional video applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3 Professional, Encore CS3, and Soundbooth CS3. We expect to publish free Leopard compatibility updates for the video applications in December 2007 and for Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Reader 8 in January 2008. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2 of this FAQ.
Q. Will older versions of Adobe creative softwaresuch as Creative Suite 2 and
Macromedia Studio 8 softwaresupport Mac OS X Leopard?
A. While older Adobe applications may install and run on Mac OS X Leopard, they were
designed, tested, and released to the public several years before this new operating system became available. You may, therefore, experience a variety of installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution. Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Leopard. For a complete overview of compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard, see the chart on page 2.
Q. Will Adobe continue to test CS3 applications on Mac OS X Leopard?
A. Yes. Adobe sets high standards of quality, stability, and reliability for our professional creative
products, and we have worked closely with Apple to test Creative Suite 3 applications on both pre-release versions and the final shipping version of Mac OS X Leopard. While this testing showed that most CS3 applications perform well on Leopard (and that others run well but need updates for a few identified issues), we recognize that other issues may unexpectedly arise on any new operating system. We plan to continue testing and to monitor user experience closely to address any such issues. If you encounter any issues, please report them by going to www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html and clicking Report
A Bug. Please note that we dont respond to submissions, but we do review them closely with the appropriate CS3 product teams.
Q. Which CS3 applications will need patches to be compatible with Mac OS X Leopard?
A. The following table summarizes compatibility between Adobe creative applications and Mac OS X Leopard. It notes which CS3 applications require updates for full Leopard compatibility and when Adobe expects to release those free updates.
At A Glance: Mac OS X Leopard Compatibility
ADOBE APPLICATION COMPATIBLE WITH REQUIRES UPDATE NOTES ABOUT

Colour innacurracies in CS3 is it Bugged/up the creek?

Many of you will have read my exasperations on the colour management forum. but thanks to some helpful perseverence from somebody I have established that CS3 has a bug maybe in the student edition?? it is not soft proofing correctly and there are no out of gamut triangles in my colour fill dialogue box where on another persons screen there are. Also that When converting to sRGB on screen I do indeed get the image as seen on screen, But this is not the image I had in Adobe RGB1998, the print out from adobergb1998 resembles perfectly the sRGB rubbish. My epson 3800 is printing out in a sRGB workspace or so it appears. I have still a student edition of CS3 and am seriously wondering whether or not this has something to do with it. You know Adobe putting tweaky little bugs in it in case you use it for commercial purposes? There are no other rational explanantions to this bizarre situation. I am so fed up with all this to be honest, it's wasted three weeks of my time and a lot of head scratching and emails.
For a background to all this please see: http://forums.adobe.com/people/cvbotr?view=discussions (Colour Innaccuracies that I can not understand) on the colour management forum.
So my question is how is this possible? That I do not have a gamut warning? that the s'RGB working space is what gets printed to the prineter? YES yes yes, I have a strict colour managed workflow, everything is set up for adobe rgb1998 and colour policies and calibration is all done - just to save you wasting time with these questions. There are no problems with the colour photography per se, just the toning aspect of things. And as someone rightly said, colour photography hides subtle colour innaccuracies but toning reveals all, why did I pick toning?
Thanks Chris.

I have not read your other thread. but the student edition is the same as the full version the only difference is the serial number. So if it works in the retail version it works in the student version. my guess is your understanding of color management wrong ang the only thing buggered up is your settup.
Go here and read http://www.gballard.net/psd.html
also be sure your monitor is calibrated correctly with a hardware calibrator.

1) Every post I see that you have made recently reflects on problems that are most likely associated with your computer that are causing problems with your software. 1st thing I would look at with your problems (and I do not mean just this one) is a conflict with another program, ei antivirus software, etc. Trying turning off programs one by one, relaunching your CS programs, and see if you can find a culprit.
2) With that kind of attitude you are only going to receive just as friendly/helpful solutions. Just because SOMEONE ELSE doesn't solve YOUR problem does not mean that THEY are ignorant.

[CS3][CS4] TextWrap BUG ...

hi,
My firend show me something "new" today in CS3 ...
Here is screen BEFORE:
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/569/indyk1.png
and AFTER TextWrap:
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9346/indyk2.png
ParagraphStyle definition have LeftIndent=3, FirstLineIndent=-3 and TabStop=3, BlackRectangle have applied TextWrap on the right side.
I've verified this in CS3 and CS4 - is there anybody who can check this in CS5 ?
robin
www.adobescripts.co.uk

Hi Peter,
My guess would be that you aren't going to get an answer about CS5 until it is officially released. In the meantime, have you filed an official bug on this?
File the bug ? What for ?
CS3 - is dead no support
CS4 - no support / no updates - CS5 is new king
CS5 - not released
And even I file bug form - I don't believe that anybody will care and fix this - as "high priority bug" ...
Have you seen it with anything other than numbered text?
Bullets are affected, too What else?

New Mac up to CS3 (and CS4)?

Hey, All!
A couple weeks ago, I switched from Windows to Mac. I still like Windows (Vista), but...I'm thrilled with my Mac and OS X (though it's been frustrating learning all the new tiny navigation issues and such! Heh...).
I worked with the Business Rep at a local Apple Store, and I explained to him that this was for running CS3 Master Collection. What I ended up buying was this:
Mac Pro, two quad-core Xeons (8-core), 3.2 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, 2.5 TB of storage, and the GeForce 8800 GT with 512 MB of VRAM.
Then I bought two Gateway XHD3000 HD monitors (2056 x 1600) connected via dual-link DVI.
The sales rep assured me that I did not need two graphics cards, that this would easily power two HD monitors running Photoshop and After Effects.
Well, UPS damaged one of the monitors in transit. Sigh.... The one I'm using now seems lovely and beautiful! I have other issues about calibrating it, but that's a different forum.
Was the sales rep right? Am I going to be happy with this system? Or, and I going to find it's not up to the task and I need to buy a second graphics card? Most of the magazines I've been reading seem to think that one card should be enough too, that a second card is really for 3D applications, which I don't plan on running at the moment (though it would be cool to learn Maya!).
I appreciate any advice or suggestions! Never having used Macs before, I feel completely out of my element, and just starting out with CS3 and such a high-powered workstation--a bit out of my league!
Best regards,
Keith

Adobe applications are effectively equivalent on Windows and MacOS in terms of functionality, performance, and quality. At this particular point, a significant number of MacOS X 10.5.x operating system bugs (acknowledged by Apple) do cause some major CS3 problems. There are a whole fleet of threads about this on the MacIntosh InDesign forum. We are hoping that Apple will resolve these bugs with MacOS 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 releases currently under development (we don't have release dates for these or any guarantees that Apple will indeed fix those bugs for these releases).
In terms of performance, you should expect comparable performance to running the same applications under Windows Vista 64-bit on a comparably-configured Dell 5400 or 7400 workstation - no better, no worse.
With regards to the video card, the 8800 is probably much more than you really need unless you are also doing gaming! I couldn't find out whether it officially supports two 2056x1600 dual-link DVI monitors with 512MB of memory, although I believe it will.
The only area where your configuration probably is non-optimal is disk. You erred on the side of capacity as opposed to performance. Those 300GB 15000rpm SAS (serially-attached SCSI) drives make a tremendous performance difference on either Windows or Mac systems. A Mac Pro system can only support four such drives internally giving you only about 1.2 Terabytes. I would have gone for the high performance 1.2 Terabytes and for archival and backup storage, added some firewire 7200 RPM drives.
Enjoy your new system.

Bridge CS3 and error message

On my old Windows XP with CS3, Bridge would often crash. No pattern I could see.
Recently bought a new Windows 7 PC with iCore 7 processor and installed same software. Had the same problem as above.
I also have just bought a new laptop running Windows 7 with a dual core processor. Loaded same software and also had the same problem.
The Photoshop CS3 (and Bridge) is as up to date as Adobe provide, so is Windows on all three machines. The common element in all three seems to be CS3, or at least, that's how it appears.
When it crashes on the two Windows 7 machines, it wants to send the following files to Microsoft. Haven't used the old XP machine for a while and don't have any notes of those messages.
All three files begin: C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\
and carry on:
WERB144.TMP.WERInternalMetadat.xml
WERE5BD.tmp.appcompat.txt
WERF632.tmp.mdmp
This is way above my knowledge. Can anyone help, please? What does it mean and could I fix it easily?
In the meantime, I'm doing the 30 day trial of LR2 which may be the best way to go. But I would like to know why Bridge is behaving as it is.
Thanks!
John Walmsley

Thanks, Curt.
I'll give this a try and report back. All three PCs are using the same BitDefender Total Internet Security software so that is definitely a common feature.

Mouse pointer Problem with CS3 and windows 7

Upgraded
to a new PC which has Windows 7(32bit) as an operating system. Installed my Photoshop CS3 and everything seems ok except when I magnify in the navagator panel. Once I zoom in my mouse pointer changes to 3 hands in the navigator panel. I powered up my old laptop which has Vista and my CS3
then matched up the mouse settings in the control panel on the new PC. Used the same usb mouse on both PC's, the older Vista laptop worked fine but the windows 7 PC would get a tripple pointer in the navigation panel when I magnified. In the windows 7 laptop I then set the compatibility for Photoshop CS3 to run in XP mode but the problem did not clear. I see in FAQ for CS4 people have complained about tripple cursers in windows 7 but the replies indicated that the recommended fix did not work. Any help apreciated.
Tom

Thanks for your solution. I by changing the setting to 125% I am now able to use CS3 without tripple pointers.
My eyesight is challenged so the decrease in text is a challenge but I can change the setting when I will use CS3 so I have a workarount.
Thanks,
Tom

Unable to Open Images in Bridge CS3 and Continuing Icon issues!

Re: Icon issues in Bridge CS3 and also with Photo Downloader that have never been there before.
So, these are the issues. Just one of the folders that previously would show thumbnails now only shows DNG icons, and none will open in Photoshop to let me work on previous image. Issue #2 - can't download images with Photo Downloaders - both my wife's Canon G9 only shows CR2 icons, and my Nikon D300 only shows NEF icons - neither of these issues had appeared before or been an issue. Third issue. None of my Bridge folders - even those with regular thumbnail immages- will open now - get a message that says words to the effect of Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file. Computer is a Mac, with OS 10.5.8
I recently tried to make more room on HD, so must have taken some critical files/commands out by accident.
Thanks for your time and previous suggestions - still not working. I'm sure that in trying to correct things have made things even worse- as may be noticed by the two snapshots I've attached. The first is one from a library from my user section. The second library image is from my hard drive. Hopefully you and others aren't laughing or crying too much over what you see - redundantcy, etc! All of my energies have focused on taking photos, obviously none to proper setup/use of organizing things on my Mac. But after the laughing has stopped, any help will be tremendously appreciated - am most anxious to getting back to working with and saving images.

Thanks in advance

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

How to open Camera RAW (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3 and CS4? (Mac)

I have a Canon 7D. I prefer to shoot in raw format, but the CR2 files cannot be opened by either Photoshop CS3 on my Mac in the office OR by Photoshop CS4 on my iMac at home.
I have tried dowloading the Adobe DNG Coverter and Camera Raw 4.6 update (which is SUPPOSEDLY intended to work for CS3) and followed the instructions to replace the plug-in. STILL a no-go. CS3 STILL tells me "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
What gives? Does anyone know of a way to get CR2 files to open in Photoshop CS3 or CS4? (A way that actually works?) Because Adobe's plug-in update doesn't seem to do it, and Canon's "fine-grain" editing controls for raw images is pretty lack-luster.
Thanks (in advance)!

Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.
