Help needed for Adobe photoshop elements 3.0

My problem has been bothing me for a few years now, but because i was able to still use windows 2000 until a few weeks ago, it never occured to me to find a solution for this.
My problem is Adobe photoshop 3.0 in general.
After vista, and now windows 7, i have not been able to properly display my art program, and being that i draw... a lot... with a tablet, and not having it work on me, drives me mad.
i can open the program just fine, the problem occures when i try to draw with my tablet or even the normal mouse.
These are my problems, given to you in a screenie.

I've tried the update for this version on this site, but seconds after it starts installing the program shuts down saying I can't download it.
I've also tried for a few days now to find a solution to this but was never able to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and i would seriously love you x.x

You can't download the patch because it only works with version Elements 5. The patch updates Elements 5 to make it Vista compatible. Sadly, Adobe didn't provide patches for the older versions just the one that was current when Vista came out.
The phantom grid is one of the compatibility issues that some with Elements 4 and under have with Vista.
Just so you know you aren't the only person who's see that display issue. Here's a thread over on Elements Village with a screen capture of phantom grid by another user...

Things that might help...
If you haven't already, set up PSE 3 up to run in Windows XP service pack 2 compatibility mode.
Check and make sure your video card's driver is up to date.

    I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS  :  As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order"  IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

  • Download replacement installer for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

    How can I download the replacement installer for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I need to reinstall it on a new PC. I do have my serial number.

    You put both the .7z and the .exe in the same folder. Run the .exe (double-click it) and it will automatically unzip the file and start the setup program for you.

  • My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work

    My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work.  On adobe.com it shows that the serial number I received is associated with adobe photoshop elements 9 and premiere elements 9.  I have purchased those products in the past, but just recently upgraded to elements 12.  I can use the the photoshop organizer, but can't open the photoshop editor.

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

    I purchased a License for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 plus Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and Adobe doesn't recognize the License Key, Adobe customer services aren't interested, neither are Ebuyer.com.
    Where do I go next? Credit card company to ask for a refund?

    Has you contacted the seller through its Customer Service?
    If that is the case and Customer Service has no idea of what you were given as a Product Key and how to use it, have you considered asking
    your question in the seller's forum (PC software section)?
    But, I have another idea for you to try first....are you involved in a student teacher purchase with prepaid card? If so, please click on the following link
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number-student-teacher.html#card-sub mit-product-code
    and go to the section on "I received a prepaid card, and I need help". In that section go to "2" which is for
    "Submitting my product code and proof of eligibility to Adobe". You will notice there is a link to click on that
    is related to country. Make the appropriate choice and see if that solves the problem. You should see
    Visit the page listed on the back of your prepaid card to submit your code and proof.
    For customers inside North America, www.adobe.com/go/edu-validate
    For customers outside North America, submit through your region's customer portal below:
    Europe, Middle East, Africa | Germany | France | Spain | Italy | Netherlands | Czech Republic | Poland | Asia/Pacific | Korea
    Verification can take anywhere from 2 to 30 days to validate.
    If the above does not apply to you, then I would explore the seller forum for answers if you cannot get them from Adobe Chat or the seller's
    Customer Service. Getting your money back from the seller should be tried as soon as possible if you find no solution.
    Thank you.

    Hello I have lost my serial number for adobe photoshop elements 13. Bought from John Lewis last month. I did have it installed but had to uninstall but cannot find the any of the packaging etc plus did not register. What is the best way of getting it installed again/replacement? Thanks

    Do you have the receipt? If you have proof of ownership, you _may_ be able to persuade Customer Support to help you out.  I imagine you would need to scan and email that proof if it works at all.

  • Download Load Option for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.0 Akamai or Alternate with MS 7

    Which download option do I use if I have 64 bit Micro Soft 7.0 for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.0: Akamai or Alternate?

    Found this in Download support.
    This helps even more to explain the difference between the two and the WHY you would pick one over the other:
    Start the download by choosing one of the following:
    Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you prefer downloading directly in a browser, click Alternate Download Method. Then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
    I hope this may help...............

  • Can I download tutorial images for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 online?

    Can I download tutorial images for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 online?

    I'm not sure which images your referring to, unless you mean the ones referenced in the pse 2 help under Photoshop Elements 2.0 Tutorials
    (or some that may have been available thru the pse 2 updater)
    In the folder that photoshop elements 2 installs into, there are some Samples and Tutorial folders with some of those files.
    On a windows machine look in either
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2
    or
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2
    Also, on the pse 2 install cd, there are some images in the Goodies>Stock Art folder

  • I recently purchased a Go pro Hero 4 Black which included a voucher for Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Is elements 12 discontinued if so, will I be able to downloadAdobe Photoshop Elements 13?

    I recently purchased a Go pro Hero 4 Black which included a voucher for Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Is elements 12 discontinued if so, will I be able to downloadAdobe Photoshop Elements 13?

    Premiere Elements 12 is no longer the current version of Premiere Elements. Premiere Elements 13 is. Probably Premiere Elements 12 is still in stock
    at online vendors. Whether these online vendors accept "vouchers" is questionable.
    You need to go by whatever the voucher says. It may be very specific for version 12 and be outdated at that. Is there an expiration date on the voucher.
    Is there an installation disc included with the camera? If so, does it give a redemption code or serial number that you are supposed to use to install the
    program?
    This is not Adobe. Rather a user to user forum.
    My first impression is that you may have an outdated voucher. And, the details of that voucher need to be read carefully.
    Please supply more information unless you opt to contact the seller of the camera for more details, especially if this "voucher" was a sales
    incentive for the selling of the camera.
