I can't remove Photoshop CS3

It is available in Windows "Remove programs" for uninstalling, but when i'm clicking "Uninstall" there is nothing happens. Tried the latest clean tool, but it tells "There are no session to delete". Tried also cs3 clean tool, it stop running, when i'm typing "go" to begin uninstall. I found also in the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\0d5fe1f44895aadff2baacf24fe1402 file named "Setup.exe", but it won't work too. No errors, just don't work. I can use Photoshop, it works. Using Windows XP SP3.

If it's not listed in your Add or Remove Programs panle, then there is no uninstall info. Simply trash all the foilders.

Can't install Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3

Hello, I recently have reformated my machine and installed XP SP3
sadly now, I can't install Photoshop CS3, when I double-click on Setup.exe, it show me a small bar/dialog which tells me it's extracting files, but after that, NOTHING HAPPENS
I left it for an hour, and again, nothing happens. I checked my Task Manager and I found that Setup.exe and Msiexec.exe are running but with completely 0% of system resource.
I tried everything possible, nothing worked for me, I really need Photoshop CS3 for my work.
thanks advance

I hear ya. that's on an existing system with an upgrade. i've solved (well, resolved) a remote desktop problem with a rollback to sp2.
but on the clean xp pro sp3 system (1st app install after anti-virus and firewall), the cs3 install took about 10 minutes. very fast very smooth.

How do i uninstall/remove photoshop cs3

what is the best way to remove photoshop cs3? how do i uninstall a program?
dragging it to trash doesnt remove everything. help!

You should be able to open the Finder, go to Utilities, then go to Adobe Installers. There is an uninstaller in there. It is supposed to uninstall everything. In theory. Adobe actually cautions against trashing the application folders now, according to their readme file.

Can't install photoshop CS3

I need to use an older version of Photoshop. Adobe said it was my mac.
I'm on 10.6.8 and can't install photoshop CS3. I've uninstalled and when I try to install, I get: please insert CS4. Doesn't sound right to me.
I called Adobe and they wanted $69 to fix the problem. They looked at my crash reports and said it was my mac. I was afraid to let them touch my mac so I didn't go for it. He said I will have problems with other Adobe installations if I don't hire them to fix my mac.
Can anyone read crash reports and help me out? I'm not sure which to include, mac or adobe.

I've tried that.
It works so so on another computer, but when I want to copy the files there is a pop-up saying that such an action cannot be done.
I still cannot install it even on that computer.
Is there another way? Or am I forced to buy CS3 all over again.
Using Windows Explorer I have copied a CD's files and directories to a directory on my hard drive to install from there... I have NEVER seen a pop-up saying I could not copy the CD's files and directories

Can I remove photoshop cs2 after I have upgraded from cs2 to cs5?

Can I remove Photoshop CS2 after I have upgraded from CS2 to CS5? I upgraded from CS2 to CS5 quite a while ago and I have never removed CS2. Will it affect CS5 to remove the old CS2 if it was an upgrade?

If I were you I would just delete the installed Adobe CS2 folder. Adobe CS2 uninstaller my remove settind CS5 made to your system after CS2. The CS2 uninstaller may try to restore settings to a point in time where there was no Photoshop installed on your system. If you do a CS un-install you may need to then Install CS5 on top of itself the update cs5 for the install will not have the updates you will be back at CS5 level .

How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer

How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer. I cannot find the original documentation with serial number etc

For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

CS3 and PowerPC Mac - can't get Photoshop CS3 to install

I'm using a PowerPC based Mac - OSX v 10.4.11. I tried to install the CS3 suite - some apps installed fine, some did not. Photoshop CS3 did not install. Now when I try to use PS CS2 quite a few features are missing, particularly in the filters menu. Has anyone seen this? Please help!
Thanks

You almost certainly will have to remove CS3 from your System before you can re-install CS2. After you have installed CS2, you can then re-install CS3 in addition.
Use the Adobe Uninstaller and run the CleanScript as well for good measure.

Then repair permissions both before and again after installing the software.

Can't Install Photoshop CS3 Trial

I began the setup process for photoshop cs3, and while installing it crashed. I tried to run the program, and it wouldnt load. I attempted to uninstall it through Add/Remove programs, and it would not work. I tried re-installing the program, but the setup program will not run. Nothing about this program will run/work correctly for me. If you have any ideas as to how I can uninstall/repair/re-install photoshop CS3, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Lightroom can't find Photoshop CS3 to edit files?

I installed Lightroom, and then the 1.1 update when I had Creative Suite 2 installed on my Sony Vaio laptop.
I've since installed Creative Suite 3, and uninstalled CS2...
Now, when I try to edit a photo from Lightroom, it can't find Adobe Photoshop. The only way I can edit in photoshop from Lightroom is to set Photoshop CS3 as an 'external' editor.
How can I reset Lightroom to recognise that I've got Photoshop CS3 installed?
Cheers,
J.

Hi Wick,
The 'external' editor is called by CTRL-ALT-E.. Lightroom appears to keep CTRL-E purely for Photoshop, and this isn't editable...
However, I have solved the problem.. well, at least found a workaround... I don't know what caused it - perhaps the uninstallation of CS2 AFTER installing CS3?
If you have this problem, you'll need to add the following key to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
create a new string value called "path" that contains the path to your photoshop.exe file.
Then Lightroom will find photoshop and you can edit using CTRL-E again and still keep a secondary editor!

Can't reinstall Photoshop CS3 extended after new hard drive

The software appears to install on my windows vista op.sys machine BUT when I try to start photoshop CS3 it just hangs..tried to re-install several times but still same ...Please help

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum as Users in this forum may have additional suggestions on how to resolve difficulties with opening Photoshop.
Blobbyblobs I would recommend checking your installation log files to see if you received any error messages. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-install-logs-cs3.html.
Also did you copy over or migrate the files from your old hard drive or is this a clean installation?

Can't install Photoshop CS3 Trial on Windows

Hey, I downloaded the trial version of CS3 the other day, wanting to try it out and see what it's like, I got to the end of the installation and it says
"A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or reinstalling the software fixes this problem. Otherwise, click Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial number to begin using the product without trial."
I'd rather not buy the software just yet, just want to try it out. I know CS3 is a little out-dated but due to pc requirements, I'm not able to run CS4 on my laptop, also I'm used to using CS3 as I used to use it on an old computer but for some reason it won't work on my laptop.
I've tried reinstalling it, I've also tried to restart my laptop and the program and none of these got it to work.
Is there anything else that can be done?
Thanks.

How can I download Photoshop CS3?

i previously had a pc and now have a mac. I would like to download my photoshop CS3 on to my mac but don't have a CD drive. Please advise.thanks.

Cjb24 your Creative Suite 3 serial number is OS specific. If you have a license for a Windows version of Photoshop CS3 then you will be unable to utilize that license on Mac OS.
I would recommend setting up a virtual machine with Windows 7 and installing Photoshop CS3 within the virtual machine.
You can verify the operating system of your Creative Suite 3 license by viewing it under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

Help! Can't uninstall Photoshop CS3

Had several problems with my workhorse Photoshop CS3, so I decided it was time to reinstall a clean version. Followed uninstall instructions as far as deactivation (which I later learned was unnecessary), but the uninstaller/installer in my utilities folder does nothing . . . except lie there like a dead fish. Adobe won't suport this version, so I came here to forums, but didn't find the exact question answered. Apologies for taking up time and space if it is there and I'm just too dumb to find it. I'm working on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.4. I did try installing the cleaner tool, but it appears not to work either. Yes, I just now thought about restarting my computer and will do that while I wait for some kind soul to lend me a hand here. Thanks.

Hi Curt,
Well I finally fixed the problem, in a very convoluted way. I loaded Photoshop CS3 from the disk, then I went to my utilities folder and used the new uninstaller to remove, apparently, part of the problem. The uninstaller promptly vanished again. I went to Photoshop and tried to open it . . . the serial number and activation code were already entered in the boxes which made me think the old corrupted version was still there. I tried to open an image, Photoshop started loading and I got a "fatal error" page. Having no better ideas I tried installing it from the disk again, and duplicated the uninstall app which just created another alias, and duplicated the other item in the folder which generated an alias for the Setup app, then I clicked on the Setup alias and it launched a different installation program which offered the choice of installing, or reinstalling Photoshop CS3--an option I hadn't been given before. So I clicked on reinstall and it took at least twice as long as the previous installation. Lo and behold, I clicked on an image and Photoshop loaded without asking for any serial number or activation code, and it seems to be working. I checked on the two things that had been causing me problems, and both worked flawlessly. I don't necessarily recommend this to anyone who has the same problem unless they, like me, have tried everything else and have nothing else to lose. If the Cleanup tool worked properly, it would undoubtedly be easier that way. Thanks very much for your help,
Victoria

I can't get Photoshop cs3 extended to work with Mavericks? Ideas?

I currently have photoshop cs3 and just upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac. No I cannot use cs3. Is there anything I can do to get cs3 to respond?

Found this on Canon's site about Lion problems which doesn't sound too promising. It says they hope it's fixed by 4th quarter 2011 but that's past now.
