Installation Problems With Photoshop CS3

I had to reinstall Photoshop CS3 on my current MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.6.
When trying to re-install using the original full version disk I received the following error:
JavaScript Alert Critical errors were found in setup -The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media. Please see the Setup log file for details.
I even even tried to down load and install the Trail Version of CS4 to see if that could be done. Same error happens.
Any idea what has happened?
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Ramon,
Thanks for the input. However I tried that already with the same results.
Have no problem with Lightroom 2.2 just Photoshop CS3.
Sent Adobe a message with this problem via their support section, however they just closed the case and more or less stated my time has expired. So now I am at a stand still with CS3.
My next option is just do a complete re-install of Leopard as I do have everything backed up via Time Machine.
In the mean time I found a program called Pixelmator that works just fine until I am able find a solution for this problem.

I am having problem with Photoshop CS3 hanging

I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Thanks.

Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program's RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

Little Problem with Photoshop CS3

Hi, I have a little problem with Photoshop CS3, I'm not sure if this's because a Windows option that I messed up, but the thing is that I didn't touch any options, or some kind of preferences.
I'm talking about the "little windows" (I don't know the correct name) that come from, in this case, the Filter and Analysis options, they're coming down from their right side, and usually, the come down from their left side. This is really annoying.
Not big deal, but I can't really work properly. I hope you guys can help me, and this's my first post, I hope I didn't break any rule.

Thanks Mylenium, that was the problem, I don't even have a tablet, but that fixed my problem =)
Thanks again.

Problems with Photoshop CS3

I have had CS3 for a few years and it has never worked properly.
First I thought it was because I was using an old 2002 Mac Powerbook with just enough ram to run OSX.4
I recently got a new Macbook Pro and still have all the same problems. I have found Adobe Customer Services to be useless - I have spent dozens of hours trying to deal with them and they are a waste of time. I contacted the shop I bought it from and they said as much about Adobe support.
So I am running cs3 (updated) in Snow Leopard. I am having the trouble with Photoshop, It often crashs, it won't quit unless I force quit, it won't open by dragging files to the Photoshop icon, and many tools don't work; crop tool, photomerge, auto batching, layers won't flatten/merge and more.
I have clean installed it 3 times, reinstalled my OS three times. I was so fed up that I tried to contact Adobe again this week but it was a waste of time, they took all my details and assured me they would call me back and I never heard from them.
I installed CS5 for a free trail and that worked perfect but now the trail is over.
Can anyone help me iron out the problems I am having with Photoshop - the other programs seem to working OK, well, Indesign is fine, though illustrator is a bit iffy.
Many thanks
John

Do you have any third party plug-ins installed?
Have you recently validated all your fonts in Font Book?
How diligent are you with regard to System Maintenance?

Installation problems with Photoshop CC

I have been having problems with applying text to photographs in photoshop CC. I have updated the graphics card and tried all the advice given in troubleshooting packs to no avail. I asked a question earlier about this and was told that I needed to provide more information for someone to help me. I asked what information was required and nobody has replied. In desperation I have tried uninstalling photshop CC and reinstalling it. Now I am getting a message when I try to install photoshop that says "Installation succeeded but a patch failed. Unable to extgract downloaded files. Press retry to download again (U44M11210). I have tried the 'retry' button several times but just get the same message.
Please help

Now. i've detected the last issue.
The Package was without the following patches:
All is fine! Problem is solved!
Next step further, deploy the packags again with SCCM 2012!
Thanks Againfor your great Support!

Installation problem with Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10

I purchased in a package Photoshop Elements 10 as well as Premiere Elements 10. It comes with 5 disc....When I install the first disc it does not ask for the 2nd disc once the first disc is done. When the first one was done the option was hit finish and I did and that was it. It did not request the next disc. What do I do?
Thanks
Jim

I have to say that for a reputable company such as Adobe, the instructions for download are totally non existent. The download for purchases on line are controlled by Digital River. I had problems with downloading as the link on the email confirming my purchase didn't work finally found the url link by pasting the email in Front Page and reading the source.
When I finally got through I was advised by the Digital River customer service that I had had too many attempts at downloading the software. When I sent a mail to CS at Digital I received this reply:
"Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe Systems,
Inc. Home. Please contact them directly with your request through one of
the following methods:
Customer Service URL: http://www.adobe.com/ap/support
Customer Service Phone: If available, the regional numbers will be
listed at the URL above.
We apologize for the inconvenience."
I have now run around the adobe site trying to find a way to download the products, but no joy so far.
I tried to get customer serice to call me back , but this service is not available for my country, Thailand.
The final way I am told is to make a call to the customer service at the number listed on my confirmation email.
I already called this number (which I believe I have to pay for) and spent some 10 minutes on the line to what I believe was someone located in India who said he would send me a link for downloading the software.
As they say in the song .... I'm still waiting!!!!!
Adobe, shame on you. Please get your act together. Why can't you handle your own customer service rather than sub contract it out. You charge enough for the product which more than covers the cost

Alt + Scroll for zoom problem with Photoshop CS3

Running Adobe Photoshop CS3
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3
When I check the "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" box in Preferences > General:
-using zoom tool, scroll wheel will zoom out to the smallest size, but will only zoom in until image is slightly larger than the file window then slides the image left and right or up and down depending on size of file window. When image is slightly larger than the file window, zoom out doesn't work anymore
-using Alt + Scroll does nothing
-Ctrl + Scroll zooms image the way Alt + Scroll should
When I UNcheck the "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" box in Preferences > General:
-using Alt + Scroll scroll wheel will zoom out to the smallest size, but will only zoom in until image is slightly larger than the file window then will neither zoom in or out anymore
-using Ctrl + Scroll slides the image left and right
In either preference setting, using ALT key causes letters for menus in the tool bar to be underlined

anybody?

New, improved problem with Photoshop CS3 Clone Stamp Tool

After selecting the clone area with the Alt + L Click, I then release both and press the L Click to get the brush. The + symbol moves along beside the brush. It does not stick at the area that I alt clicked. I have reset the tool, but that has no effect. I have tried the alt-click more than once. Tha pallet does show an offset and has a clone source chosen. It just doesn't stick at the location.
Any help is appreciated.

If I understand you correctly, you may have a system problem (e.g., with OpenGL) if the clone stamp overlay is not confined to the brush shape.
Normally, this is what you see (cloning from the right to the left with a round brush):
If it's not working this way for you, I suggest downloading and installing the latest display driver from the web site of the maker of your video card, and also experimenting with the OpenGL settings in your Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
CS3 did not offer the clipped Clone Stamp overlay. That's an OpenGL-specific feature, and only Photoshop CS4 and above have the OpenGL support needed.

Installation Problems for Photoshop cs3 on imac os x "PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!"

I have recentley purchased a new imac. I have been trying to load my Photoshop v10 CS3 on to it, since i got it, however, once the I enter the CD, the Software shows up with all the relevant information to install! BUT the "SETUP" icon shows as a blank sheet of paper & when i double click it, it opens a new "MSDOS" window containing a load of text!
Im really confused about this, and cannot understand why i cannot install it onto my imac...
Would be greatful if someone has a solution, or can explain a reason WHY this is happening!
Thanks.

Well, who told you it was for a Mac? If you bought it at a retail store, you should be able to take it back there and exchange it for a Mac copy. If you bought it used, you should demand a refund from whoever you bought it from.
Of course, that is all assuming it's actually a Windows copy, and there's not something else going on... What does it say on the CD? My Photoshop Elements CD is very clearly labeled "Macintosh."

Installation Problem With Photoshop Elements 7

I am trying to install Photoshop elements 7 on a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, 64-bit.
I also have Norton software, so disabled the virus protection, firewall etc for the installation as per the Readme file.
The installation appears to progress OK after entering the serial number of the product, then after a minute or so I get "Error 2902. Operation ixoFileCopy called out of sequence".
The installation then unwinds itself and stops.
Any suggestions?

Now in october 2012 I purchased a year subrisption to Photoshop CS6 but when I downloaded it and I had to install, it said "instalation failed" becuase "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media." So I wasnted able to find the previous trial version to delete it, what can I do?
