Installation errors for Photoshop Creative Suite 4

I did not have success with any solutions suggested for this installation problem. Microsoft has since sent me a message telling me that this application is not compatible with my new computer (Toshiba running Windows 7).  It ran just fine on my HP (running Vista).  I tried using the Troubleshooting application to see if changing settings on my computer would help - it did not. That is when I submitted the problem to Microsoft and got the response that it is not compatible with my computer. Uggg!  Lotta money to spend on an application that becomes obsolete!

My apologies. Speaking out of frustration. I am a fairly good user, but technically, obviously lack some skills to appropriately find my way around this problem.
Here's as much information that I have:
My old computer was an HP Pavillion running Vista OS that I originally ran Adobe Photoshop Creative Suites 4 on with no issues.
I purchased a new computer last month - Toshiba Satellite S70-ABT3N22 Laptop
Processor is Intell Core i5-4200M Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10GHz) with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
Microsoft Operating Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) with recovery media for Windows 8.1 Pro
Memory is 12GB DDR3L  1600MHz SDRAM (8GB + 4GB)
Hard Disk Drive 1TB (5400 rpm, Serial ATA)
Graphics Controller - Integrated Graphics
Display 17.3" diagonal widescreen HD+ (1600x900) TrueBrite LED Backlit display
Wireless Lan & Bluetooth - Wi-Fi Wireless networking (802.11b/g/n) (150Mbps)
Microsoft Office Software Office Home & Business 2013
Anti-Virus Software: Norton Internet Security 2013
1. When I first tried to install Photoshop, I got the error that stopped on RGB settings.
I then ran Adobe Support Advisor diagnostic and got this message:
I then tried the solution that was recommended - going into the color folder and removing the files, transfer them to a folder that I created on my desktop. However, the files would not cut, since they were in use.  They then recommended another solution - go into another folder, remove those files and try again. However, when I went to look for that folder, it did not exist.
This is when I went to the forum and asked if anyone had a solution.
Compatibility mode was suggested. I got further information on this and went through the process, launching the application Compatibility Mode. It asked me what system I had previously used to run Photoshop. I entered Vista. It reset my computer to be compatible with those settings and again I tried to install Photoshop. The installation stalled at the RGB.
I went back and tried Vista Service Pack 1, same result, Then Vista Service Pack 2, same result, then hit I don't know. Same result.  That's when I hit the send to Microsoft for further help and solutions.
That is when I got the message back from Microsoft that this Photoshop application was not compatible with this Windows 7 Operating system.
I hope this isn't too much, but it's what I have and hopefully I haven't offended anyone overmuch with my previous rant.
Thank you for your help and willingness to look into these matters for everyone.

  • I have the License Number for CS6 Creative Suite How does this translate for "Creative Cloud"

    I have the License Number for CS6 Creative Suite, but when I downloaded Creative Suite and tried to license the product, it keeps coming up with an error, "The Serial Number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC." How do I register my product?

    Photoshop CC is the equivalent of CS7... and it is available ONLY by paying for a monthly subscription... your CS6 serial number does not work for CC

  • I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

    I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

    You can download the software from the website and then type in your old serial number to activate it... that is, IF the installer database will work with your operating system. I am having problems reinstalling CS4 with a new computer running on Win 8.1. When I called customer support, they told me a whole lot of nothing for 45 minutes and then directed me to a chat session. After about 30 minutes on chat, I was basically told they don't offer support for older products. The website says "no known issues" for installation... but that very well may be because they are unwilling to record the issues when someone calls to report them! Good luck with your install. I wish I had CS5 at this point, as it appears there is still support available for it... but you are on the bubble timewise for that to continue. Other downloads

    You can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current  versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.
