Encore CS3 Disc is in drive, but installation is asking me to insert disc!

I've got the disc in my drive bay. Autoloads, I click setup. It begins setup of Encore CS3... and then asks me to insert the Adobe Encore CS3 disc into D:\ drive! How is this even happening to me? Is there a way to fix it?

Brian,
With a few other Adobe installation issues, doing a copy of the installation discs to the HDD and then dragging the executable to the desktop has worked with similar problems.
There are a couple of things to think about:
1.) stop all AV, spyware and pop-up blockers BEFORE you attempt the installation
2.) with some applications, installation from Safe-Mode works, when other methods fail. Do not know if Encore will install in Safe-Mode. some recent Adobe apps will not.
3.) if you have had any trial, or beta Adobe versions installed, uninstall, and run Adobe Clean Script (from the Adobe site), prior to attempting to do another install.
Hope that one of these helps get the "Millennium Falcon" up and running.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Can't finish Photoshop Installation, keeps asking me to insert Disc 1

    I have to restore my computer back to factory condition recently, and had to reinstall my Photoshop CS5.1 by upgrade, which I downloaded again from site using Akamai installer.  I get stuck at "Please insert Photoshop CS5.1 Disc 1" because I do not have the disc.  Is there any way I can complete installation?  I have the serial numbers for both my Photoshop CS5.1 upgrade and CS2.
    Thanks!

    Uninstall every bit of Adobe software on your system, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, install again in proper order. You have installed anotehr Adobe software from CD/DVD and it's messing up the installer.

  • Why does CS6 installer keep asking me to insert disk AdobeDesignWebPremium6-EnglishJapan?

    I have one installation disc for the CS6 package I purchased yet whenever I try to install I am asked to insert disk AdobeDesignWebPremium6-EnglishJapan. Help?

    Are you able to copy the contents of the disc to your hard drive successfully?  You may also want to attempt to download and install the trial version to see if it is a problem with the disc.

    I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 but my PC is not recognizing my CDRom and I cannot download the program. I tried copying the files on the program disc to my hard drive but get a message the installer will not work. I have the redemption code and serial numbers. Can I download the program online somewhere? If I download a trial version for instance will it allow me to enter my serial number and use it for the full program?

  • Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows)  on a laptop without optical drive

    Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows) -  is there any possibility of installing my legitimately purchased MC-CS3 on a new laptop without optical drive? Perhaps through a download link or will tranfering all Adobe files from my old to my new computer do the trick as well? Or do I necessarily have to buy an external optical drive? Thank you for answering.

    No need to buy an optical drive and don't try transferring, it rarely works.

  • Encore CS3 not burning to disc?

    Hi all,
    I am using CS3 Encore and up to now have been very successful when creating a Blu-Ray DVD.
    Most of my footage has been around 1-11/2 hours long so I have always left it on Auto transcode and its been fine.
    However, I have created a project at 1 hour 57 mins but now after waiting 7 hours each time for rendering, it pops out the disc and tells
    me that there is a Encore CS3; Blu-Ray burning .... "Device Error", Code "3", Note: "AS-Storage Error= -97140.
    I have also burned an image file which ends up as a 23.83 GB file, leaving just 1.17GB space on disc but will not burn?
    I have reverted to burning a 1 1/2 disc and it does it fine. I am told by another that the file ends up as too larger a file to burn?
    OK, as nobody seems to have solved this issue while searching the net, I was wondering if I could get some help with the transcode settings?
    The transcode setting have been change by me many times from.... Min 1.5  Target 25  Max 30, Down to  Min 1.5,  Target 17,  Max 20.
    However, the final project before going to burn is still 23.83GB, and the same error:  Encore CS3; Blu-Ray burning .... "Device Error", Code "3", Note: "AS-Storage Error= -97140 is showing after ejecting disc?
    can anyone please help?
    Thanks

    Hi Jeff, thanks for that I will give it a go.
    Something I dont understand?
    When I put project together it says in EN that the disc has 12gb used with
    12Gb unused.
    Yet when I build it tells me that the disc has used 23.83 GB and has 1.7Gb
    free?
    I wish I understood these bloody programmes he he.
    I am used to just putting in a disc and being told immediately if it will
    burn after 7 hours waiting?
    Cheers
    Alan

  • Encore CS3: not enough space in disk now, but yesterday was OK!

    Yet, another problem with Encore CS3: now it refuses to compile the DVD folder because the project exceeds the disk capacity (DVD DL).
    I can´t understand this: yesterday it said that I was exceeding the disk capacity but it compiled the DVD files anyway (and there was really a lot of free space left in the disk, the VIDEO_TS folder was still under 8 Gb).
    The only thing I´ve changed since then are the compression settings of one clip, reducing its quality so in theory I should have even more free space than yesterday.
    I´ve been using this software for years and had never so many problems as with this project.

    Go back to yesterday!  (Ha, ha!)  (I suppose that's half serious: revert to original and use your old settings.  But I wonder if this error will now occur even then.)
    I've had good luck with opening CS3's in CS4.  I wonder if the PC to Mac change would be an issue.  Just copy it all so you have something to go back to.
    One user had something like this happen because one timeline exceeded the size per side.  (That may have been BD.)
    I wish I listed all the reasons for this the last time.
    This may have also happened because the C: drive fills up with cache files. Try clearing the media cache?

  • Encore CS3 crashes when changing disk drives

    Burning a compilation from Premiere CS3 to Encore CS3 using Export to Encore. When Premiere finishes encoding and launches Encore to create DVD image, Encore keeps defaulting to my CD-R drive and not my DVD-R drive.
    Each time I have to cancel the operation, and then manually change the dropdown recorder selector from the CD to the DVD drive. And EVERY TIME I do this Encore crashes.
    Since there doesn't seem to be a way to force Encore to remember which drive I want to use for recording as a default, this software is totally useless to me.
    Does anyone know of a way to make Encore remember a specific disc drive to use for recording?

    You could try setting the DVD-R drive as Master, not the CD-R.
    The bad news is that this means opening up the computer & either resetting the drive jumpers from CS (Cable Select) to Master & Slave, or if they are already set to Master & Slave, then they need reversing.
    This cannot be done in software as it is a matter of their physical position on the cable.
    To ensure correct pickup, it would be a good idea to go into Control Panel/System/device manager (
    i before
    opening the system - and uninstall both optical drives (right-click on the drive & select "uninstall".
    The next time you boot, thedrives should be detected in their new configuration.

  • When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine

    When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine.

    SMART is a technology that monitors the drive for signs of impending failure. You can verify that SMART is indicating a problem in Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and look at the bottom of the window. It should look like this:
    If the SMART status is not "Verified" then you should back up your drive and start shopping for a new one.

  • How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

    I had the same or similar problem after installin iTunes 11 on my Acer Laptop with Vista. The new iTunes ran but I
    completely lost access to my CdRom/DVD drive. Error Code 19 was displayed in Windows Device Manager. Found out
    this is more widespread of a problem than expected.  After trying several forum recommended fixes, the Only thing that gave me back my CdRom drive was doing a Windows Restore to a date prior to iTunes 11 install.  I got my drive back but it also restored me to the prior 10.0.7.21 vers of iTunes which no longer worked due to missing files. iTunes help
    recommended a Reinstall.  I am reluctant to do that for several reason.  That's where I am at for now until I find out if there are any other risks for using iTunes 11 vs. Registry Errors vs. Losing access to my CdRom drive.  Brad

  • I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial

    I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial #. How can I get it to allow me to continue using my software?

    If you had registered your CS3, you can get the serial number from your Adobe account when you log in through the Adobe corporate web site.  Just go to My Products to find it in your account.
    Adobe applications show you a truncated s/n to discourage software piracy.  Legitimate Adobe s/ns have 24 digits.

  • Need to replace failing hard drive but I don't have RnR discs

    The hard drive has started to fail on my brand new T500 with WIn7 Pro pre-installed. I have not had time to create RnR discs. Lenovo support says they are ready to ship a new hard drive but there is a problem getting the RnR discs put together with the drive for me. When the drive first started to fail, I tried to create the RnR DVDs but it seemed to be going nowhere.  I got 1 DVD created that I was told to label "Final SP". What is that?  There is next to no information available describing the process, but I'd like to take another crack at it in case there is a major delay in Lenovo replacing my drive and providing RnR discs.  Any idea how long it should take and how many DVDs? Any suggestions??
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK. I took another look and I think I found what I need to create the Rescue discs... don't know how I missed it the first time around.  I will give it a shot.
