Help!! New Vista 64 bit computer - Lightroom slow communication with CS3

I have just installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit on a new computer. (Intel quadcore Q6700, 4 gigs memory, 3 internal sata hard drives, 2 external hard drives). When I go to edit in CS3 from Lightroom it seems to hang up going to CS3 (and PSE 6)- there is a good 40+ seconds before it appears in CS. (Lightroom 1.4 and also the same on beta Lightroom 2). I reinstalled CS3 but that didn't change anything.
I am also getting a message on some of my pictures "Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at........for editing. It will not be opened."
Please help!!!! Thanks......susan

Not to worry - after a full day of pulling out my hair and shedding a few tears I finally realized it was CS3 causing the problem. From there someone had suggested that the network printer could be the problem. Disconnected it and everything works! That is - everything in CS3 now I have to figure out what to do about the printer. I think I might look at taking up lawn bowling or something else as a hobby! Susan

  • Help Mac user help new Vista user - install QT Player or not?

    My friend has a new Vista PC and he's not a skilled user. I'm a Mac person myself. He's having tons of trouble with it and I live 2000 miles away. I'm here on a visit and have been helping him get Flash player and Yahoo IM etc installed.
    Is Quicktime Player a simple, painless, installation or does it require troubleshooting? If the latter, then we won't even try. Too little time for anything but install-and-play.
    Your advice will be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the link. It's downloading the standalone installer now.
    Still need someone to chime in if QT will install without problems on the Vista PC. This bit (with my emphasis) from Apple at the download page isn't encouraging.

  • Is Photoshop Elements 7 compatible with new Vista 64-bit?

    I am going to purchase a new computer with Windows Vista 64-bit.  The Photoshop Elements 7 states that it is compatible with Vista 32-bit.  Is there a patch or some way to make it work?

    It should work.  See this FAQ:

  • Re-install CS3 on my old Vista 64 bit computer now with Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello----I had Windows 7 64 bit  installed on my old computer which had Vista 64 bit.  I'd like to re-install CS3 and Lightroom 2 both of which I had on the Vista system.  Do I need to get permission from Adobe to reinstall?  I have serial numbers ready.   [email protected]

    As long as you de-activated PS CS3 before replacing your operating system, no. Not sure about lightroom.
    PS CS3 can be activated on 2 seperate computers. You still have one activation remaining and will not have to call in to Adobe to activate.

    Our luck will be problems out the wazoo. His PC is brand new and shiny, but working with it is like trying to do eye surgery on yourself without instruments or anesthesia: painful.
    Maybe we'll postpone this until I buy him a Macbook later this year.

  • FireFox 4 and earlier versions will not install on my Windows Vista, 64 bit computer. The file downloads and the file extracts but I never make it to the installation wizard.

    I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
    My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.

    Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
    The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
    You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
    What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
    See if that helps. Let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Moving installation of InDesign CS2 to Vista 64-bit computer

    I've been running Adobe InDesign CS2 on my Windows XP laptop and yesterday I installed the program, instead, on my desktop computer which is running Vista 64-bit version. It has a much bigger screen, and I'm looking forward to using the computer for my desktop publishing work and reserving my laptop for my teaching work.
    When I try to load Adobe PDF presets, so that I can send a pdf to a client, I get mysterious messages about their not being accessible to me. The preset files are in the preset settings folder, under All Users. That folder is grayed out in File Explorer but permissions are set so that EVERYONE can use it.
    I disabled Windows User Accounts and Firewall.
    InDesign can't see the preset files; if  I scroll up from the folder the program begins to look for them (the folder with the document I have open), and get to Users, All Users does not appear at all.
    I'm at a loss of what to do. Any ideas, anyone?
    --D

    You are in completely unsupported territory. While some users have been successful, no CS2 software is Vista certified or supported in a 64 bit environment. This is especially true for all versions of Acrobat prior to 8.1.
    I strongly suggest upgrading to CS4.

  • Adobe acrobat 7.0 on new Win7 64 bit computer

    I need to use acrobat 7.0 with an older software that I am transferring to a new computer.  I have a keycode for acrobat 4.0.  The Transfer Activation option is greyed out.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    If you don't have your SN for AA7 handy but did register, then you can go to the Adobe.com site, login, go to the My Product link under your name at the site. You can run AA7 on Win7 64-bit, but will have to do some fix up to do work arounds. Neither AcroTray.exe or the Adobe PDF printer of AA7 will work on the system and those require the workarounds to be able to create PDFs.
    I am not sure why you mentioned AA4. I doubt that you can do much of anything with AA4. Is there a reason you specifically need AA7 and that a newer version would not do the job? Not sure what you mean about transfer activation. You have to install the software. However, AA7 also requires a different process since the activation server for AA7 is no longer available.

  • HELP, new ipod shuts down computer in the middle of updating.........

    We have a new ipod, that when I connect to our computer, begins the downloading process but shuts down our whole system half way through. Anybody know what is happening. I have tried everything I know how to do, but this only happens when I connect the new ipod. I've even exchanged the ipod, but the same result. I've tried to reinstall the software, but I think I've got a mess now. Any ideas?

    First do some scanning. Scan the system with your antivirus program. Scan the system with a malware program like ewido http://www.ewido.com. Use windows chkdsk to scan the system and the registry (if you need help with this just say so)
    Goto the PC makers site and install all the updates for your system, especailly BIOs Chipset IDE controller and USB updates.

  • Help! Why is my computer so SLOW??!!!

    I have an imac, a little over 2 years old. i have never had a problem with it up until i upgraded to Leopard (AKA worst OS EVER!). At first everything ran smoothly, as time goes on it gets slower and slower. Half the time my applications run so slow they crash. This isn't just with one app, it's with EVERYTHING (mail, safari, even just clicking on the HD takes forever) It took me forever just to get on this site to post, i had to force quit safari and start over.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to get things to run more smoothly? Please please please, i would be thankful for any help!
    (I would like to try and avoid taking it in, our apple store's overpriced service *****)

    Hi,
    The activity monitor is a nice little utility that is located in applications -> utilities. After you start this you will be able to see all of the programs that are running and may be surprised by what is there. You can see if there are any old PowerPC programs that are still present as well as the memory and CPU usage that each program garners. Below the list of programs are a series of buttons labeled CPU, System Memory etc. These will show you overall performance of these systems.

  • Help, New itunes on different computer with old ipod.

    Hi
    My old computers hard drive crashed completely ,and all my music was from CD's that i have sold now. So is there anyway off getting my music off my ipod touch 2gn on to my new netbook and without my ipod being wiped clean?

    Where is your backup copy of all important info/music/pics/docs? This is basic.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, then you could try ( at your risk) a 3rd party program to get the music off of the ipod ( Apple does not support this).

  • My new Macbook pro is running very slow especially with photoshop. How can I speed it up?

    Hi there,
    I just bought my Macbook Pro two weeks ago specifiacally to use Photoshop CS and Lightroom together. It worked fine for the first few days but
    has slowed down considerably since then. I live in Taiwan which makes it difficult to go to a store to have it finxed due to the language barrier
    so online help would be fantastic! If the problem continues would it be possible to exchange it for an Air (if that's a wise choice?)
    I look forward to a quick reply!
    Thank you

  • Why does my computer run slower now with OS X Mavericks?

    I installed OS X Mavericks on my Mac, which is an older MacBook, and now it runs much slower and I have to Force Quite just about everytime I want to downloard something. Needless to say, I am frustrated!! Now when it boots up, the last web site I was on is fron and centre! I don't get my home page. What can I do to speed this thing up and make it run the way it did before this installation! I thought it was suppose to be better!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. It does nothing but produce human-readable data about the state of your computer. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clickinganywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
    When you post the output, you might see in your browser the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may offer you advice based on the output of the script. They speak only for themselves and I don't necessarily agree with their views.

    Hi there comrin,
    It does seem very likely this could be software related. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!
