Installation Freezes on Vista.

I've tried over 10 times to install the trial of photoshop cs3 on vista.
Ive disabled all programs on startup, switched to the classic view, and disabled the system restore. and the stupid installer keeps freezing at 8.46%
please help me!!!!

John,
Mine installed almost flawlessly on Vista. The only issue I had was that since I have a 64bit system, I had to tell it to install under "programs(x86)". If you are running 64 bit, that could be your issue.

  • Adobe Reader 9 installation freezes computer

    upon running the installation for adobe reader 9, setup gets to 99.90 percent, then a new window comes up, similar to the installation window. Estimated time remaining gets to 9 seconds, then the installation freezes, and so does everything else. A cold reboot is required...
    I'm currently using foxit reader to read PDFs (Also, programs that print to PDF files cause a similar freeze.
    Computer details:
    Vista 32 bit Home premium.
    3gb ram
    300+gb hard disk space more than 50gb free
    Dell inspiron 530 desktop
    Spyware doctor - Avira antivir - and Threatfire installed
    Interestingly enough, this is being typed in an open firefox window as the installer is frozen, along with the desktop and taskbar.
    Additional details:
    Reader (at that time version 8)
    Along with PDFcreator both worked perfectly on my system
    After reinstalling windows to clear my system *and changing antivirus to Avira - note no security issues are flagged by avira when installer runs*
    Pdf creator went buggy. Pdfs printed by PDF creator would freeze when Reader tried opening them. (Although after restarting the system those same pdfs could be opened)
    An attempt to repair the Adobe reader installation for version 8 failed, Then Opening Reader alone would freeze my computer. And I had to crudely uninstall Reader as a result. *May have left files - but I've scoured the Temp folders for them*
    Anyway, installing adobe reader 9 then led to the error. (Interestingly, adobe reader 9 did appear installed after a cold reboot, and worked, however it dissapeared after the next normall restart.
    &I've tried installing using a new acc, same error.
    &FOxit reader works
    &Adobe version 8 does not appear on my system.
    &All normal computer functions seem to work..(Although a video on Gamespot recently displayed buggy stuff, not related i think)
    &Installations of other programs work
    &i've tried installing in a different directory
    &Spyware doc, Threatfire, and Avira scans come up clean.
    Just restarted *cold reboot*
    The system took a long time to shut down *held the power button for longer*
    And the hard disk didnt stop spinning for a very long time...
    It also took a very long time to start the computer
    Also, running an installer makes me undo the changes made by the adobe reader 9 installation, since it was suspeneded.

    Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup to remove vestiges of any version of
    Reader in your Registry. Then turn off all antivirus and spyware
    programs. Then try to re-install

  • MSI 975X PROBLEM WITH INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS VISTA

    I have MB MSI-975X PLATINUM v.1 withbios ver 1.3,processor Pentium D940 (3,2GHz/800/2x2MB),2X512MB DDR-2 667MHz,in the beginning when I start the installation on WINDOWS VISTA  the computer is bloked od it is restart.This problem I solved when I put another processor INTEL 541(3,2GHz/800/1MB) whit this processor everthing is ok,but with INTEL 940 it can not be install WINDOWS VISTA .
    I’m asking you for a new superstructure on bios update .

    Beta 2 or RC1 candidate???? RC1 should support..........
    Beta 2 is real, slow and you have alot of updates to DL, but both are pre-release products and will not work 100%.
    Even when Vista is released, they will still be alot of hardware that will not work 100% and this is purely because software is always playing catch up to hardware.
    It was only September, when Nvidia released some Beta2/RC1 drivers that worked properly........

  • SAP WAS J2EE server installation on Windows Vista

    Hi Experts,
    Is there anything latest on SAP WAS J2EE server installation on Windows Vista. In SDN download section I see SAP NetWeaver 7.01 ABAP Trial Version available with Vista compatibility.
    Is there SAP J2EE server also available with Vista compatibility ?
    Regards,
    Yomesh

    The problem with J2EE is the support status of the used JDK. Sun does not support 1.4.2 under Vista/Windows 2008, technically it works.

  • Windows 7 installation freezes at "Completing installation"

    Hi!
    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13". I'm running Lion and have installed all avaliable updates.
    I've created the partition in BootCamp and the installation starts but when it gets to "completing installation", just after the computer has rebooted the installation freezes and I'm forced to shut down the computer.
    This is what I've tried:
    * To burn several different Windows 7 iso file on DVD's with different speed (from the disk utilities).
    * Remove all USB connections (which is none since I've a wireless mouse)
    Then I've no idea what to do more
    One thing that could be the reason is that I (before trying to install Windows 7) had to repair my hard drive (which I did from the disk utilities) and I might have done some sort of misstake there...
    Please help!

    No help needed anymore, finally managed to install it
    The solution was (probably) to eject the CD when the computer reboots and then continue the installation as normal.
    I'm not 100% sure this was the solution but anyways, now I've Windows installed.

  • I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition.

    I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition. For some odd reason, it seems my ethernet has not yet been installed to my operating system and I do not know how to do that even with the internet, I have the LAN cable hooked up to my computer but I do not know exactly what to do about it. Is there some sort of driver I need to install, or what? How do I do that without the internet?
     This operating system is on a separate partition to my other operating system that is connected to internet already (Windows Vista Premium) that I do not wish to use anymore because of it's corruption. I tell you this because you may know a way of finding the driver files on my previous operating system that I may be able to transfer to the other.

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Cannot install Flash Player-Installer freezes

    Running OS 10.10.2
    Was unable to update, so followed instructions and uninstalled entire Flash app. Have downloaded update 3 times. Installer freezes during download/install process at 25% and does not continue.
    Now I have no Flash and am unable to install.
    Forum shows several other users with same problem; none of their posts have been answered.

    joseywales41's solution worked for me (Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section.)
    Everything is back to normal now.  Thanks!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Why do you want to install that on your ThinkPad?  It's for ThinkCentre desktop computers, not ThinkPad laptops.
    I have Power Manager running fine on my X220, as I mentioned above.
