I have an original version of Photoshop CS3.  I run Windows 7 32 bit.  After an update of the operating system by MS, my Photoshop refused to work, whereas before the MS update, the software worked perfectly.  Please help.  Ernst

Dear Sir,
I have an original version of Photoshop CS3. I run Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC.  After a recent (±2 months ago) update/upgrade by Microsoft of Windows 7 (32 bit) on my PC, I lost all functionality of the Photoshop software despite the fact that I have been running Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7 for the past 2 years without any problems. I uninstalled the software from my PC and tried to re-install it again.  It would not re-install.  After I press the software “setup” function to install the software, a window appears and a blue band runs across it, but then everything disappears from the screen again without leaving any message as to why the software would not install.
I have been informed by Adobe Helpdesk that Photoshop CS3 does not run on the Windows 7 OS.  Due to previous experience that Photoshop CS3 had in fact run on my PC on Windows 7, I find it totally strange that I could not install the software again.
In fact the, same version of Photoshop CS3 is currently running without any problems on my laptop under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Please help if you can.
Kind regards,
Ernst Odendaal

  • Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition.  The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop.  The user manipulates the image and saves the changes.  The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server.  The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image.  The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing.  But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
    Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
    - I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
    - I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation.  The script just stops working in this situation.
    - I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3.  The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
    What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version.  But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions.  So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    Do you mean schroot?  If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

  • Does an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 bought from a reseller qualify to get the upgrade version of Lightroom 5?

    I wish to purchase Lightroom 5 at a discounted price and the upgrade version is attractive. I have an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 which I bought online downloaded from a reseller.  Is this OEM version accepted as eligible for the upgrade version?

    As an alternative to the OEM route, the Lightroom+Photoshop bundle deal at $10 per month is hard to beat assuming you are not opposed to software as a subscription.

  • Have Mac version of Photoshop CS3 need Windows version

    Thought I would post here and see if anyone had a Windows version of Photoshop CS3 that they would like to trade for my Mac version. Mine is the full version with the box and everything that came with it. It was installed and activated one time for less than a month.
    I switched from the Windows version to this Mac version when I thought I was going to be on the Mac full time. Now my job requires a PC only so I need to switch back and Adobe says only one switch allowed :-(
    I'll pay for all shipping, I'll even throw in my previous router that I just upgraded. It's a D-Link 624 4 port router, 802.11g.

    Thanks in advance.

    Leah,
    Nothing personal. But please be aware that this forum is not Craig's List, the neighborhood swap meet or other trading venue. And there is just too much software piracy for us to take the time to properly vet your offer.
    >It was installed and activated one time for less than a month.
    Be aware that if you were to sell or trade your software privately, it's not a simple swap. You would have to properly deactivate and uninstall the software from your system, delete/destroy any copies, and provide proper paperwork to the new owner, including an Adobe letter of transfer of license, plus all original disks, etc., so that the new owner could properly register the software in his name and be entitled to all upgrades.
    And be aware that its value may be an issue at this point, as Adobe will be announcing CS4 shortly. Some folks may wish to wait for CS4 rather than purchase CS3 now.
    So I recommend that you simply contact Adobe customer service, explain your job situation, and request a crossgrade (essentially a platform swap). The cost is minimal and should not be a hassle for you.

  • Is it legal to download a free version of Photoshop CS3 and then use a serial number from elsewhere?

    I downloaded a version of Photoshop CS3, but they did not provide a serial number.  Without thinking, I looked up an appropriate serial number on the internet and typed it in, only to realize afterwards that what I had done might not be legal.  So my question is, is it legal to do this or not?

    Wait a minute ...if someone would be selling the serial number online why would he/she would make it public so that anyone can use.
    There are various keygen present online that can generate such kind of serial number but using them is stricly illegal.....without knowing the source it would be hard to tell.
    You can try and get is touch with the "Jeff Wright" , he is a Adobe employee who actively participate in forums....He can check that serial number and can let you know , is it legit or not
    also you can let us know the source from where you have got the serial number ...

  • I currently have an old version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade?

    I currently have an old version of Photoshop - CS, is it possible to upgrade to a newer version? It keeps crashing on my new Mac (Macbook Pro 2GHz Intel Core i7 running OSX version 10.6.8) and I don't use photoshop that much (probably once per month to design gig flyers) so I cannot justify spending $1,168 for the current version of CS6. I don't want to try and learn a new product either, I just want to be able to use Photoshop without it crashing. Please help!

    From CS - CS6, there is no upgrade option possible. The last version that Adobe lets you upgrade from is CS3 (that too, till December 2012). Adobe usually supports current minus 2 versions for upgrade support.
    In your case, you should buy a full version - yes I know it is expensive and having said that you need it only once a month, I don't know what to advice here.
    Regarding CS not running on 10.6.8, are you getting any specific error codes/ numbers/ crash reports? If so, can you please post that here so we can see what may be going wrong?
    While I doubt CS will work on OS 10.4 or 10.5+ (I've never used it), I can't say it never will work either. The only way to tell is to see a crash report to see what is going wrong.

  • I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5... I bought a new computer and it will not load. Can I get another of the same version? or do I have to buy a new one?

    I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5.  I bought a new computer and what I have will not load. I love this version. Can I get a new cd that will load into Windows 7? or do I have to buy a complete new program?

    No CD, but you can download the installation files if you have the serial number, and the previous install has been deactivated

    or
    Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
    If you are unable to deactivate the earlier installation, you wil need  to phone customer support and ask them to reset your activations.

    Hi David,
    You need to download CS6 Photoshop and enter the serial number for CS6 Photoshop and then you would be prompted to enter the serial number for qualifying product.
    Enter the CS5 serial number in order to install and activate CS5 Photoshop on your machine.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.
