Error Code 148:3 - Photoshop CS4 for Windows

I have a message that comes up whenever I try to open Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended.
"Licensing for this product has stopped working.
This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched
If you continue to see this message after restarting your computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error 148:3
http://www.adobe.com/support"
I restarted several times but I still get the error. How do I fix this?

wow...wssparky thanks a TON. I got the adobe error today and it was driving me INSANE. I *think* the problem had to do with my having to disable all my startup stuff in Windows7 to fix a problem I was having updating some other Microsoft software. Anyway MS said disable everything using the msconfig and it was after that when Adobe stopped functioning (my McAfee is having an issue as well) properly.
At any rate I got the adobe "fix" and it worked GREAT!
I was NOT having any luck to begin with by going to the support area at adobe.com (HEY ADOBE PEOPLE>> TAKE NOTE)
searching "support" for the error code tells me "Your search of Support for error 148:3 did not match any documents." which I find interesting
so I finally googled the error code and found this thread.
now a word to those who are less than kind in their posts and make people feel stupid for asking the question here...I would submit these forums are for us (the users) to help each other (read: be nice to each other) so we can USE the software we OWN.
I'm frankly disappointed that going to the Adobe "SUPPORT" was fruitless. MY problem was with the CS4 suite: I own the master collection which wasn't exactly cheap....it wold be nice if I, as a customer was able to at least FIND Adobe's OWN error code on their support section.
again... thanks to wssparky

Photoshop CS4 for Windows - Installing XP 64

I have heard that Photoshop CS4 is not meant to be used on XP 64 but has anyone here installed it successfully? Is it working?
I am trying to install it on my XP 64 PCs and no go. One of them gets pretty far into the installation process and conks out. The other (newer, faster PC) gets this error message when trying to fire up the Installer:
File Access Denied
Both of these PCs are running AMD 64 bit MBs. The older one has 2 GB of RAM while the newer one has 8 GB of RAM.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. About ready to return the product ...

Thanks Bob for the heads up. I found this text about the release date of Win7:
Q. What is the expected timeline for the availability of Windows 7?
A. We are currently in the planning stages for Windows 7 and expect it will take approximately 3 years to develop. The specific release date will be determined once the company meets its quality bar for release.
Q. Has Windows 7 been released to manufacturing?
A. Were continuing to work with our partners on the development of Windows 7, and are not sharing any additional information at this time.
Q. Is the schedule for Windows 7 being moved up due to poor Windows Vista sales?
A. Were not sharing additional information on Windows 7 at this time. However, were confident that many organizations are recognizing the value in Windows Vista. Of note, sales of Windows Vista licenses have now passed 100 million. In addition, Windows Vista is being adopted by businesses at a rate that is similar to past releases. In the business market there are early, mainstream and late adopters, with the majority of businesses falling into the category of mainstream. Were seeing positive indicators that were already starting to move from the early adoption phase into the mainstream, and that more and more businesses are beginning their planning and deployment of Windows Vista.

Doesn't sound like Windows 7 will be out anytime soon. Thus I may decide to downgrade my older system once I have finished installing all of my programs to my new PC. Or perhaps get a dual-bootable system for my new one.

I want to use my Photoshop CS4 for windows on my iMac.

I have tried the Adobe site, tried to phone ( no answers and then cut off), left messages...to no avail. How can I use my CS4 on my iMac - I am not inclined to spend ridiculous money on a new licence.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.
Adobe site and contacts extremely UNimpressive.

When you buy Photoshop, you are buying it for a single version, in a single language, on a single platform. If CS4 were still the current version, you could exchange your Windows version for a Mac version. But we no longer sell CS4. Even if you were to find a CS4 for Mac installation disk, your serial number would not work. But I may be able to help you. Send me your serial number: bnemecek [AT] adobe [DOT] com.

Font not showing up in Photoshop CS4 for Windows

I have fonts that I've installed in both my Windows XP and Windows 7 PCs. They show up in the Control Panel - Fonts and open, they show up in Word, but do not show up in Photoshop CS4. I see in the CS4 Mac forums that there is a way to register a font in CS4, but I can find nothing on doing that on a Windows PC. Can anyone help?

Adobe programs are sensitive to font issues, and one, the Titler in Premiere, is the most sensitive. This ARTICLE was written primarily for Titler, BUT translates to PS too. Often, a corrupt, or poorly-designed font will crash Titler, where that same font will usually just fail to display in PS, though it might cause hangs. Tracking down the problem font is outlined in the above article.
However, even if a font is not corrupt, or bad, it just might not display properly in some Adobe programs. I found that Isabelle and Isabella (two different fonts, with similar names) and from several foundaries, just do not display in Photoshop, or Illustrator. They do not crash the program, or cause a hang, but they obviously have an issue, and just will not display. They also do not crash Titler, but do not display.
Other fonts, such as the older DejaVu, installed with OpenOffice, would crash Titler. I do not have that font, but do understand that Oracle has rewritten it, so that it now works OK.
Good luck, and it could well be that your problem font(s) can be replaced by a better one, that has similar characteristics, or can be replaced by the same font, but from another foundary.

How do you fix error code 54 in iTunes for windows 8?

Was trying to sync my music to my iPhone 5s and kept getting this error code 54. I wasn't understanding why it kept doing that and it was very irritating. Tried to sync my gf iphone 5 as well but kept getting the same thing. I did some research and people said it was locked files on my computer but I'm having a hard time finding these locked files and need help solving this problem. Please help me. I am running itunes on windows 8.

Read lots of replies to this. I've just tried simply clicked "Turn Off Genius" under the Store menu and it seems to have worked for me. I already had ITunes Match turned off - not sure if that makes a difference.
Not sure if this will work for everyone, but it's worth a go!

If you can not use CS4 menu Help>Activate|Deactivate to get the install working again you may need to re-install CS4.

Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
Plug-ins that failed to load:
   DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION - - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
   Connections
   Kuler
This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.

Any fixes for menus/icons way too small in PhotoShop CS4 on Windows 8.1?

I installed PhotoShop CS4 on Windows 8.1 on new Dell XPS laptop and the menus and icons are very tiny and hard to even see. Does anyone know a setting or fix for this issue? Adobe said they won't help!

Did you ever found a solution to your problem? I have the same frustration now with no idea how to fix it??

Error code 148:3 on attempt to open Photoshop

I am getting error code 148:3 on start-up. (So I can't use my program. It sure was expensive enough.)
This has happened before, on the same computer, and an adobe supporter supplied a download which got me working again. But only temporarily, I guess, since now I am getting it again! Arrgh.
This is so not satisfactory. Please let's find a permanent solution to this.
Kindly
MortenLind

I have Illustrator CS4 and it is giving me the Error code: 148:3. I bought it from Adobe several years ago but this is the first time it's given me trouble and I can't seem to find anywhere how to fix it.

vallie babe,
If you have registered the products with Adobe, they should be able to give you the missing (parts of) the registration numbers.
You may try Customer Care,

or Adobe Support (phone),
