I am trying to reinstall my creative suite 3

I am trying to reinstall my creative suite 3.  I insert disc and cannot find the setup.exe file.  It is just reading content.  I am sure it is an easy solution I am just so far out of the design and computer world that I can't figure it out.  I am running windows 8.  Thanks for any input!

is your cs3 an upgrade from a previous version?  if no, use the appropriate installation file linked below.

    You will need your serial number.  If you have the discs you should be all set.  If not, then you should be able to find it thru your Adobe account online if you registered the software previously.
    You might want to contact Adobe Support thru chat before you activate the new installation if you would like to free up the activation that might have been left in limbo.

    CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it.  I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps).  So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens.  What next?

  • Trying to activate a creative suite (mac)... please help

    Have had a rough day with Adobe... have been "helped" by the chat people at least 10 times today with no resolution.  Some component of my computer (Mac) got fried, and the Apple geniuses advised me to retrieve the data and applications by getting an external enclosure and hooking the hard drive up to another Mac.  I did that, but the adobe applications said that I needed to put in a new serial number.  After several attempts at using the chat feature, one of the Adobe employees said that I needed to uninstall and try again (and they would do something on their end to make it work). I have this latest transcript (see below), BUT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK after re-installing.  Please help...
    info: You are now chatting with Sparks.
    Sparks: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Sparks: Hi Jay.
    Jay Hilscher: Hi Sparks!
    info: Your chat transcript will be sent to {email] at the end of your chat.
    Sparks: I have received your query.
    Sparks: I will check and help you with this.
    Sparks: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe?
    Jay Hilscher: I'll let you know that I have been disconnected 5 times... this issue is not on my end.
    Sparks: And also the serial number of the product?
    Jay Hilscher: [email protected]
    Jay Hilscher: [removed by moderator - never share publicly]
    Sparks: Thank you for the serial number.
    Jay Hilscher: you're welcome!
    Sparks: Thank you for your patience.
    Sparks: May I please know if you have a installed the software again?
    Jay Hilscher: Yes I have
    Jay Hilscher: But I can't activate it with this serial number
    Sparks: If the deactivate button is grayed-out the product is already activated. 
    Jay Hilscher: Yes... I need to deactivate it.
    Sparks: In that case, please go ahead an uninstall the product.
    Jay Hilscher: I need it deactivated on the old hard drive so that I can activate it on the computer that I's like to use it on.
    Jay Hilscher: I've read on the forum that I don't want to uninstall without first deactivating...
    Sparks: No, problem.
    Jay Hilscher: What is a problem?
    Sparks: Please go ahead and uninstall the product, and install it on the new computer.
    Sparks: I will make certain changes for you to activate it on a new computer.
    Jay Hilscher: Ok... thanks...
    Sparks: You are welcome.
    Sparks: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Jay Hilscher: Not right now, I guess... I hope this works!
    Sparks: You may contact us back if you face an issues.
    Sparks: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Sparks: Are we still connected?

    Ned, thanks for the reply.  However, that doesn't seem to solve (or actually get me any closer to solving) the problem.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the creative suite, but I still get the window that says that I have 30 days to activate the software.  Then, the serial number that should activate it (per Sparks above) does not.  This is followed by another window that says, "We are unable to activate Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3.  Click the Phone Activation button to learn how to speak with one of our Customer Care representatives."  After clicking the phone activation button, however, and going through that whole process, no opportunity to speak with a Customer Care representative occurs.  Before being hung up on by the automated menu voice, I am directed to use the chat feature to "speak" with a representative.  This is how I've come to communicate with a number of representatives today (Sunita K / Case # 0213839182; Souvik S / Case #0213841272;  Naacom N / Case #0213841941;  Sparks / Case # Unknown;  and others) - none of whom has been able to follow through on assisting.

  • I'm trying to purchase adobe creative suite 6 and am a student can you help?

    Im trying to purchase adobe creative suite 6 and having trouble. I am a student. Can you help

    For a limited time only, you get the $19.99 EDU Student Teacher offer as stated here at this link.  http://www.adobe.com/products/discount-software-coupons.edu.html
    If you have already subscribed to Creative Cloud as a student/teacher, it may be too late for you to get the current promotional discounted student/teacher EDU price of $19.99. You'll have to keep paying the regular EDU $29.99 price until your contract is up or else if you cancel it you pay the remainder that's left on the contract but it won't be cost-effective. I already asked customer service to see if they could waive the cancellation fee so that I could get the current EDU price. I was denied and offered one free month, but I asked the Creative Cloud technician to escalate it.  So, it's up in the air right now. I believe they are getting many students calling to inquire about this. You would think that student/teacher prices are set once established, so if $19.99 is the lowest actual student/teacher EDU rate, then what is the $29.99 rate that the rest of us student/teacher EDU subscribers of Creative Cloud are paying?
    If you establish a student/teacher EDU rate, you could keep it that way and make it available to all students. Especially the ones who signed up first!  Why is Adobe rewarding the laggards?
