Hiccup installing PS CS4 on Vista 64 - two versions

Hello,
I just put together a new comp system based on Vista 64 (I used to have XP Pro 32 bit). So I reinstalled photoshop and to my surprise there are two versions in my startup menu (as well as on my C: drive)... one actually has 64 bit in the name and the other does not (so I assume it is the 32 bit version).
I'm not sure on the best way to deal with this... should I just delete the 32 bit icon in startup so I do not accidentally use it; or is there a way to just uninstall the 32 bit version only; or just uninstall the whole thing again and reinstall hoping it won't do it again?
I am just not sure if this is a big problem or not. I only had to enter my s/n number once and both versions seem to work. I also double checked in explorer and there are two instances of it... one in Program Files, and one in Program Files (x86).
Lightroom 2 seemed to install properly in Program Files.
Any insight on what to do with this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Scott

It is normal. Both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions are intentionally installed on Vista x64 systems. You don't have to do anything to remove either one--in fact you shouldn't.
At this time many companies have not updated their plug-ins to be 64 bit so they will not work in the 64 bit version. Some existing 32 bit plug-ins operate ok when installed under the 32 bit version.

  • How to Install Win Vista -English Version on my Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ

    Hello !
    I am an Indian, I purchased *"Toshiba Satellite L300-2CZ"* in France. I don't know French Language. I am an software guy.
    One my family friend purchased it in on-line in 2009. It is good configuration but Bad-luck for me is, it contains *French keyboard and French Windows Vista*.
    Anybody know how to solve this problem?
    I am facing lot of problems while while writing software code by using this Frech keyboard because we use English- Qwerty keyboard.
    *And Is it possible to install Toshiba's Windows-Vista -English version on it.*
    I installed generic Win-Vista home edition on it , it is working but there is lot drivers missing, So I am not able to use my Laptop at minimum.
    *Could you give me some information/suggestion to solve my problem.*
    Thank you,

    It's not a problem to dowload all drivers needed either from Toshiba support sites or other good places.
    You need at least Chipset+Audio+Video+Network+Wireless drivers and (maybe) some additional like Touchpad, Quick buttons, Bluetooth, Web camera.
    In rare cases you can google drivers for unknown device (or just recognise it) through vendor/product IDs in device manager (VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy string in device properties).
    Problem with keyboard is simple (in most cases): buy keyboard stickers like this
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=english+Keyboard+STICKERS
    It's not perfect solution but very cheap'n'fast.
    Alternative solutions are laser engraved letters on your keyboard or new english keyboard from Toshiba service (I can't even imagine its price).
    Guess you can't install *Toshiba's* Vista other than bundled with your laptop. But you can buy any boxed version of Windows meets your requirements, even Windows 7. There is no difference between *Toshiba's* and boxed version of Windows exept license limits, so I advise you to think about boxed Win7.

  • Adobe InDesign CS4 ME (Middle Eastern Version) AND fonts

    hello,
    does someone know, which Fonts are in "Adobe Indesign CS4 ME (middle eastern version)"  out-of-the-box (without Tasmeem!)?
    We have real trouble to find out in advance, what kind of fonts are included or supported (or not).
    thank you.
    knuth

    I'm not 100% sure on this answer, but this should at least be helpful:
    The fonts in the InDesign fonts folder in CS4 are:
    AlQudsWide_Bold.otf
    Hasan_Hiba_Alef.otf
    EMIRI.otf
    Basim_Marah_Beh.otf
    Nassim-Semibold.otf
    Arabetics_Mehdi.otf
    Nassim-Bold.otf
    AlQudsWide_Regular.otf
    Nassim-Medium.otf
    DT_Qarandash_Beh.otf
    NASKRG.otf
    Nassim-Regular.otf
    Hasan_Noor_Alef.otf
    Nassim-Heavy.otf
    There are others in the Adobe general fonts folder (most notably the extended family of Boutros Ads Pro), but I don't know if this was installed by CS4 or a previous version of InDesign. Here's a screenshot of the Arabic fonts currently installed on my system (none of them were purchased, and probably mostly installed by one of the Creative Suites).

  • Photoshop CS4 - How to install both   64 and 32 bit versions on XP 64

    Hello-
    When I installed Photoshop CS4 along with the other apps on CS4 Web Premium I thought that both versions of PShop would be installed by default, but that was not the case with my installation; only the 64 bit version was installed.
    Now I would like to install the 32 bit version but when I try to do it through setup I am unable to check the box. There is a list of "Installed Products" and then "Available Products"; the only thing under "Available Products" is Photoshop CS4, but I am unable to check the box.
    Any ideas on how I can install the 32-bit version? I want it for the GPU acceleration and to use certain plugins.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    a)re: built for XP64 - note that I said "gave the [erroneous] impression," meaning that someone could plausibly infer that PSCS4 64 will not run reliably on XP 64, which is categorically untrue. I am NOT saying that there are not people who have had problems and will continue having problems with PS CS4 on XP 64.* However, I am personally attesting - having worked with PS CS on my XP 64 system a lot since buying it this week, including continuously since I reinstalled last night ( I tend to work at night) - that PS CS4 runs gloriously on XP 64, INCLUDING the OpenGL stuff once you patch the reg via the link I posted (which, by the way, would have been a valid answer to my question).
    On that note, telling me stuff that I already know is NOT a valid answer. Further, as we have seen, my running this on XP 64, as opposed to Vista, was irrelevant, if only (but not really only) because that is not the system to which my question referred. How did telling me about Vista help? If you don't know what to do with XP 64, then you don't know....I didn't know either, at least when I posed my question. Your reference to Vista was POINTLESS.
    b) re: installing to non-default directory. I have been doing this for so long that I can't remember not doing it, and I have never, ever had a problem like this, and I do have other dual-bit depth apps. This should be a non-issue. If I thought it was relevant I would have mentioned it, but in light of what I just said, it did not seem to be a factor. Crikey- CS3 is in that same directory! Why would Adobe's installer get confused? They are the same structures, i.e. %disk%:\Program Files, %disk%:\Program Files (x86). If you knew things that might cause my problem - you didn't-you might have asked about my install.... Instead, you told me what anyone who had read my question would already know that I knew, namely that there would be two different locations for the two different versions. Incidentally, and here's good intel here, when you do get them both installed, you get BOTH versions listed in your Adobe CS4 whatever edition programs folder. Right there! So, if you had known what you were on about, you would have realized that there was NO WAY that PS 32 was mysteriously hiding somewhere. This is another clue that you knew nothing about the subject you were purportedly answering!
    So why, why, why am I picking on you? Because there was a time when you could post a simple question on the internets and some helpful soul would take the time to actually read and consider the question before giving an answer that, even if not ultimately fruitful, was at least in the freaking ballpark. But those days are gone** and even though I know that and I expect nothing, I posted anyway, and along came you, with two heaping helpings of SQUAT in terms of useful advice. What the hey? Are you that bored that you just dole out crappy advice? Watch more TV or something!
    Jeez!
    Thanks,
    Paul
    *My relevant system specs are as follows, for those who may want to give XP 64 a shot: and/or are having problems:
    XP 64 SP2 ( there is no SP3 for 64 and parenthetically I will note that CS4 on XP 32 SP2 runs fine even though you get a warning on install that it is supposed to have SP3 installed)
    8 GB RAM
    AMD 64X2 5600 on AMD/ATI 780G Chipset with dual integrated ATI 3200 Graphic plus an extra ATI 3400 card running three different monitors (2 on the 3200 and one on the 3400). On my setup PS likes to enable and actually work with the OpenGL stuff when I launch either/or the 64 or 32 bit version on the monitor that is attached to the 3400 card. After that I can drag the app anywhere I want and it works.
    ** in July, as myself and my girlfriend were getting ready for our vacation, we posted on a location-specific travel group to ask if people knew if the hotel we were staying at had a safe for our laptop. We got like thirteen responses, all more or less to the effect that we should leave the laptop at home when we go on vacation. Not ONE answer about the hotel! WTF???

  • Installing Indesign CS4 Trial Version

    I am trying to download the trial version of Indesign CS4, when I get it downloaded and try to launch it says opening adbeidsncs4_LS1.dmg it goes through but when it is complete a screen pops up that says 'the following disk images failed to mount--abdesidsncs4_LS1.dm invalid checksum. But if I don't let it complete the screen that says opening abdeidsncs4_LS1.dmg if I open Indesign it will work but there is no tool bar. I have tried to uninstall it and re-install it but it is still doing the same thing.

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    First, the download was damaged and you should try downloading the trial again.
    Second, you are installing a non-US English localized version. There are known issue with these versions. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408055.html

  • I can't install two versions of indesign together !!!

    Hello Folks.
    How are you?
    I installed Indesign CS4 but when I installed Indesign CS6, both versions are expired !!!. What is the problem?
    I use Windows 7 64 bit .
    Cheers.

    Did you enter the serial numbers when you installed? Did you deactivate the old installations first?
    I think this error message is telling you that the program is not activated, possibly because there are already two other active activations. Try Help > Activate... and either it will be successful, or you will get some dialog telling you why it isn't. If it isn't there should be a phone number included that you can call. If it is successful and you continue to get this error, then we'll need to dig deeper.

  • I have two versions of Lightroom installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?

    While looking at the "Programs and Features" folder on my Windows 7 computer I discovered that I have two versions of Adobe Lightroom installed on my system. One is Lightroom 5.2, installed on 9/19/2013, and the other is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 64-bit, installed on 7/5/2014
      - Can I uninstall the older version?
      - Will uninstalling the older version cause any problems with the newer version?
      - If yes to either question, is there anything I need to do before doing the uninstall (i.e. deactivating, etc.)
    Any advice on how to correct this problem is gratefully appreciated.
    PS; I have the same issue with Muse CC. See: I have two versions of Muse CC installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?

    Jim,
    I thought it was odd that I had two versions of Lightroom installed as well. I have been able to track the issue back to an apparent "bug" in the Lightroom 5.2 update that installed a second version of Lightroom in addition to updating the existing version on my computers. At the time, I posted about it at Lightroom 5 installed twice on my laptop. While I never got an answer to my question, which was "Is this normal?" I did hear from others in the forum the experienced the same problem and had the same question. As time passed, later releases updated one of the two installations, but did not effect the second. Hence, two different versions of Lightroom 5 installed on the same computer.
    Uninstalling the older version solved the problem. Thanks

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions.

    I am using Adobe Creative Cloud.  I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions. I beleive the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version.  Is there a reason it has installed two versions?  Can I remove one version as I am running a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine?

    I don't know if my issue is the same or not...
    I  updated Photoshop CC last week, and  now have Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 in my applications folder. When I open a file created in Photoshop, it opens Photoshop. However, if I open another Photoshop file (by double-clicking on it), it opens up in a second Photoshop app (not the app that's already open)... so I have two Photoshops open at the same time. And both are CC versions.

  • Can I install two versions of SOA suite using same Oracle database

    Condition:
    I installed Weblogic server(10.3.5) and SOA Suite(11.1.1.5), and
    I used RCU 11.1.1.5 to create the schemas(Oracle DB 11g-111170) for it.
    Plan:
    Now I plan to install another Weblogic server(10.3.6) and SOA Suite (11.1.1.6)
    and I will used RCU 11.1.1.6 to create the schemas for it.
    Question:
    Can I use same database(Oracle DB 11g-111170) for the two versions of SOA Suite? that is
    Can I Run the RCU 11.1.1.6 to create the schemas for SOA Suite (11.1.1.6) on the oracle database server I already used for SOA Suite 11.1.1.5?
    If I can use same database for the two versions of SOA Suite, how can I resolve schame name conflict?

    Hi
    1. YES. You can absolutely use SAME DB to have multiple Versions of SOA Schemas.
    2. Any SOA/BPM will need basically 4/5 schemas like SOAINFRA, MDS, ORABAM, ORASDPM etc. based on what you choose. And each of these Schemas can be Prefixed. Default prefix is like DEV, so schemas are like DEV_SOAINFRA, DEV_MDS etc
    3. Very Simple. When you Run RCU 11.6 and give the same old db details, in next screen it will automatically show the new Prefix for the schemas it will create. If DEV is used, it will show DEV1 like that. So just choose a Different Prefix and you are good to go.
    I have the same thing on my side. Single Database. Multiple RCU for SOA 11.5 and SOA 11.6 with different Prefixes:
    SOA 11.5 -> DEV115_SOAINFRA, DEV115_MDS, DEV115_ORABAM etc
    SOA 11.6 -> DEV116_SOAINFRA, DEV116_MDS, DEV116_ORABAM etc
    I Used the Prefixes like DEV115, DEV116 so that I know exactly which version of RCU schema they refer to.
    For QC, UAT, PROD we used prefixes like QC_*, UAT_*, PROD_* etc.
    NOTE: When you drop the schemas for some reason, make sure to give the appropriate prefixes so that only they are dropped and not others.
    Thanks

  • How to set a Photoshop version the default application when two versions are installed?

    I have two versions of photoshop installed on my Mac. Double clicking on the Photo in Bridge CS6, the photo is opened in Photoshop CS5 (Photoshop CS5 (default). Haw can I set Photoshop CS6 as the default application?

    Thanks for your prompt replay, I had already done what you suggested, but it does not work. When you open in Bridge File>Open with you still see Photoshop CS5 (default) and the file is opened automatically with Photoshop CS5 and not CS6 unless you specifically choose Open with Photoshop CS6. I vaguely remember that I found once somewhere "would you like Photoshop xxx to be your default option? but I cannot remember where and I cannot find it anymore

  • Two versions of Bridge installed - CS5 and CS5.1 - how to remove one?

    Looks like this happened by installing Photoshop CS5.1 first, then Flash CS5 after that.  Now I have two versions of Adobe Bridge, along with Extension Manager and a bunch of other redundant stuff now
    This is causing me multiple problems:
    1) the right-click menu "Browse with Adobe Brigde CS5" is set to the old version.  Probably because it installed afterward (?).  This is no good.  I want it to default to the newer version obviously.
    2) I am getting a lot of performance errors - the "not enough drive space" kind of error, when I just try to zoom in on a single small image in a folder with only a couple images in it.  Bear in mind I have 12GB of RAM running here.
    How do uninstall the old versions!??  Note, I ALSO have an old old version of Adobe Bridge that came from an install of some CS2 components!!!  It's out of control and aggravating.
    Please help
    - Jon

    It is usually recommeded you keep old versions rather than removing them.  Some users run in to file association problems when removing older versions.  The file association goes back to the version removed if you can comprehend that.
    The versions should not conflict with one another.  HOWEVER, you can run only one Bridge version at a time.
    It is also recommended you install programs in order.  So if you installed the newer one first and then the older one you can upset the file associate order.  You can try to fix that first and then uninstall if that does not work.  Go go edit.file type associations see what the dafault programs are listed as CS5 or CS5.1.  There is a radio button on the bottom to reset these to factory default, and this sometimes works.
    If not I would uninstall CS5 and CS5.1 and install the older one first.  Or if you don't want CS5 on machine just install CS5.1.  To be on the safe side you could run Adobe Script cleaner which will delete bits that the uninstall process did not get.

  • Two versions installed

    Did a security check via secunia and noticed that I had two
    versions of flashplayer installed. Adobe Flash and Macromedia Flash
    - these were listed individually with the recommendation to
    upgrade. I looked for detailed instructions on the adobe site but
    did not find anything. I then uninstalled via add/remove the only
    apparent version of the Adobe flashplayer and reinstalled the
    latest version 9.0.115.0.
    Redoing the secunia scan, this is now shown as secure/correct
    version but I am still shown the additional version of Macromedia
    Flash Player 6.084.0. How can I get rid of this?
