I want to install Photoshop CS3 on my new PC

I want to install Photoshop CS3 on my new PC.  I had it on my old PC.  How do I do it?

It depends partly on what media you have the CS3 file in to be able to install it and partly on the system characteristics of the new PC.  If you do not have disks, then you will need to download the installation file from a site that provides trial version.  It is possible CS3 will not install depending on the system.

    Do not transfer.  Install using installation files.  If you need to you can download most older applications thru the following page...

  • Want to install Photoshop CS4 on my new macbook, but i'm receiving Fault 150:30. You should contact support from adobe :-(

    Hello,i want to install Photoshop CS4 on my new macbook, but i'm receiving Fault 150:30. You should contact support from adobe :-(
    I already tried every step on the support site, but Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator still don't work. So this is an S.O.S. here...

    I've repaired many a 150:30 error using this method. First make sure your account is an Administrator type.
    When you type sudo <space> and drag LicenseRecover.py into the Terminal window, this is what you should see when you press Enter.
    Type in your admin password if any, and let the script run and finish.

  • Help installing Photoshop CS3 on a new computer

    I contacted Adobe online customer support on 11/16/09 because Photoshop CS3 would not run on my new laptop (HP  with Vista Premium Home Edition 64bit).  Adobe responded 6 - 7 days later with info that I had already tried or which did not work.  With little or no success and FEW responses form Adobe, I finally tried the 1-800 phone line for customer service.  After two days on the phone, three separate calls and over 7 hours of phone time, I am actually worse off than I was before.  Additionally, SEVERAL of the things that the various techs told me to do directly contradicted the previous tech's instructions OR turned out to be incorrect.
    Here's the problem: Initially, the program was on a Compaq laptop (XP w/32 bit operating system).  This worked fine, but the computer died.  When I reinstalled the program on the new system, it installed successfully, but will not run.  After the two days online with tech support, now the program will not successfully complete installation.  Adobe has hung up on me (mysteriously disconnected) twice and refused to give me access to a supervisor three different times.  Does anyone have a direct access phone or email of someone I can reach directly?  I don't know where to turn next.    

    Try tunning the software as admin. Right click on the icon, choose properties, compatibility then check run as admin.
    Not sure if you did this:
    You also have to install the software as admin. But when you insert the disk just let it run and if something pops up on the screen close out of it. Instead go to computer, look for the drive that has the DVD in it. Right click on it and you want to open or explore (not sure what is shown). But choose one of those and then look for the .exe file that will install the software. Right click on that and choose to run as Admin.
    So if you can open the software after running as admin and everything is fine your good to go. If you can open the softeware but the install is borked you need to reinstall. If you can deactive the software if it is not acting right (save you from calling in)
    If you deinstall you need to run the Clean script at level 3 (at the most)

    Run the microsoft clean up utility

    Do you have vista SP2? if not download the windows 4.5 installer. SP2 has it.
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f 9f4&displaylang=en
    after all that fun stuff go to msconfig and ensure there are no other adobe products that are checked to run on start up.
    Reboot and I would defrag too.
    Turn off windows defender and any anti virus.
    Insert disk but don't load from there. Go to your computer and run it from there. you want to open or explore, then look for the .exe file and right click on that and run as admin.
    Once it is running put the serial number in. also you don't want to do a full install. Just try doing Bridge and CS3. Sometimes the software is older on the disk and has problems with vista too.
    With Vista expect the software to hang around 90 percent? I know this happens with CS4.
    When the install is finished, reboot.
    After reboot, right click on CS3, choose properties, compatibility tab and check run as Admin.
    If the software does not like windows AERO then you can go back later and select disable visual themes on the compatibility tab.
    When you run CS3 make sure you update the product.
    don't forget to update the video card drivers from the ATI or Nvidia site if need be.

  • Installing Photoshop CS3 on a new computer.

    I am about to buy a new PC (old one too slow for Photoshop CS3). As I have already installed CS3 on my old computer, will I have any problem installing it from the same CD on to my new machine? (As CS3 cost more than the computer, I obviously don't want to have to buy a fresh copy)

    deactivate the old copy (in the help menu) before installing the new one.

  • Trouble installing Photoshop CS3 on a new computer with Windows 8.1

    I tried to install it but strange things happened. It shows up on the install/uninstall list but not on the desktop or My PC. I found CS3 on my new computer by accident when I called up an unrelated file. The computer wants me to take CS3 on a 30 day trial, which I don't need. When trying to upgrade my CS3 the computer does not let me indicate I am upgrading from CS3, only C or C2. Please advise. David Hayward.

    Divad I would recommend removing the current installation and reinstalling.  You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS3 products.

  • Getting a "Setup Error" when I try to re-install Photoshop CS3

    I've had a nightmare week.  My iMac crapped out and I lost the harddrive.  Now I'm slogging through the process of re-installing all my software.
    Per the instructions of the Adobe Customer Service, I went into "My Adobe" > "My Orders" and downloaded the Photoshop CS3 I purchased in Sept. 2007.  (I know it's old but it serves the purpose I need).
    But when I double click the "Setup" application, I get the following message:
    Setup Error
    Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
    When I contacted Customer Support, they told me they could not help me because they do not offer support for old versions of CS and to post a question here, so that's what I'm doing.
    Does anyone know what the "Setup Error" is and how I can re-install Photoshop CS3?

    Is IE your default browser?
    The address in that error is somewhat peculiar, in that it points to a process running on your computer (127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that points to your own system).
    I suggest that after downloading and saving the Flash installer to a folder, you completely exit Firefox, and do the installation with Firefox closed in case having Firefox open is interfering in some manner.
    Of course, make sure you get the official installer from Adobe, and '''uncheck the box for any tag-along software that you do not want''':

  • Cannot install photoshop CS3!!

    Hello there. I currently have Windows vista installed on a laptop. I recently tried to install Photoshop Extended. However, when it get's to "initializing Adobe Photoshop" It just stops...nothing pops up. I had it installed on my computer before then I had to restore my computer using recovery cds. I was able to install Adobe After Efects but can't install photoshop CS3. It has an entry in my add/remove program in control panel but when I click uninstall nothing happens.

    yeah, i had the same problem as you too, but i got it fixed =]
    I think this happens because we uninstalled photoshop incorrectly
    heres how i did it, its kinda risky though...
    go to your start and click on run and type in "regedit"
    then from the beginning of your registry (by this i mean go all the way top of your registry and click on your My Computer) hold ctrl+f and search for "photoshop"
    delete (the folder) everything that is related to adobe products (careful though, some registry are not related to adobe...)
    just press F3 to search next...
    you might want to try other search terms, i used "cs3" and "adobe" but the bad thing about this is a lot of other adobe products show up
    hope this helps...
    oh yeah.. i am on windows xp, but i think on vista should be the same...

  • Installing Photoshop CS3 on Server 10.5.1

    I'm trying to install Photoshop CS3 on a G4 tower running Leopard Server.
    The installer crashes almost instantly-- icon bounces a few times in the dock and disappears.
    I've tried permisisons repair, safe boot, and installing from root user. i've also tried using an external DVD drive just because I was running out of ideas. I'm in the process of creating a disk image of the install DVD to see if I can install from that with better luck.
    As my license allows, I've installed CS3 on a secondary machine (laptop), and have had no problems. I also had CS3 on the computer before installing Server (read: the install DVD is fine).
    Any ideas? thanks in advance.

    The system is at a commercial photo studio-- and the server is new. The machine used to be a secondary retouching machine, but it wasn't used much. However, there still is the occasional need for a second retouching machine, so I wanted to install photoshop on the server for the rare time when it might still be needed as a workstation.

  • 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.

    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

  • Installing Photoshop CS3 on a MBA

    Hey guys, I need your help.
    Here's my problem: How to install Photoshop CS3 Upgrade on a MBA?
    I've tried first using Remote Disc - it installs but when I open PH CS3 there's a window saying that a few files are missing because the original installer is out of place, and asking to reinstall. It doesn't work.
    Second try _ I copy PH CS3 from my MacBook using an USB stick and install- the same window appears.
    Third try- I copied the whole PH CS3 install DVD to an USB stick, copied to my desktop and the same thing.
    I believe the installer is looking for a previous version, but how can I tell PH that I've a previous version and how to point in that direction.
    Any help is welcome.
    P.S. With Illustrator CS3 I didn't have any problem, and it's also an Upgrade.
    Thanks
    Pedro

    Happy ending of the "saga".
    I tried downloading from the Adobe site more than 20 times, and never got it through, so, I did what I wasn't willing to do: bought a SuperDrive for the MBA, trashed everything with the word "Adobe", and reinstalled first PH CS3, which went very smooth, then, reinstalled Illustrator CS3, and it also went perfect.
    The reason I decided to buy the SuperDrive was simply because I didn't want to spend endless hours doing the installation of PH and Il using Remote Disc.
    Remote Disc is a good idea, but not for massive installations, since it crawls when compare to the SuperDrive.
    Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions and help.
    I love my NBA.
    Regards
    Pedro

  • Install Photoshop CS3 over CS/ver. 8?

    Hi: I'm helping a friend try to install Photoshop CS3 as a stand alone -- not the suite. He's using OS X and has CS (the suite) already installed (Photoshop ver. 8). I'm helping him remotely using Logmein.
    I dragged the Photoshop folder to the trash then tried to install the CS3 CD. I got an error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS3 is already installed. To remove or modify this software, please use its original installer."
    He can't find the original CD. Trolling the Internet, it said to check under AdobePhotoshop\Utilities to find an uninstaller. It was there and I double clicked. It told me I had to close other running CS3 insall disks, which I did. When I went back, the Uninstaller was gone.
    I tried to install CS3 again but with the same error message.
    I'm a PC person so not greatly familiar with the uninstall process here. What's the best way to do this? I found a help file here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331296.html
    Will that work?
    Many thanks!
    George

    Hi:
    Thanks for the reply. He installed the full CS suite previously but has ONLY the fully licensed stand-alone Photoshop CS3 -- not the suite and not an upgrade. So he wants to install only that. It's not even critical that he keeps the other stuff that comes with the previous CS suite, if there's a way of zapping all of that.
    Thanks,
    George
