Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

    I am able to transfer my photos from my iPone 4s to my PC with Windows Vista but it won't transfer my videos? Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have Vista (don't laugh) and my videos are transferred over when I plug in my phone.   They don't open up in Winodws Picture Viewer though.
    They are under my Photos, under the date created by the sync.   Do a search I'm sure you'll find them.

  • Installation Flash cs3 with Windows Vista Ultimate

    I am trying to use Flash on Windows Vista Ultimate.
    Installing the program tells me a mistake "error in the
    installation component". I have tried to install in administrator
    mode and windows account manager
    Can anyone tell me how to install Flash for suite cs3?

    I would download a new installer, you can get the trial
    installer, then just enter your serial when you first run it.
    Sounds like a corrupt exe. But yes, make sure and run as
    Administrator by right clicking the file.

  • Installing CC with windows vista

    hello all:
    I have to bring my mac in for repairs and my plan was to install adobe CC on this other computer i have laying around, which is an old PC running windows vista.
    i downloaded the adobe application manager and most of the apps listed are CS6, especially indesign, photoshop and illustrator, which i use most. and certain apps (like acrobat) aren't listed at all.
    i've read conflicting things about whether CC runs on vista.
    if anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Portege R935-ST3N02 with Windows 8 DVD Drive won't open and doesn't appear in Explorer

    I have seen posts concerning this problem under Windows 7, but my new laptop came with Windows 8.  The button on the DVD drive will not open it.  I can force it open using the paper clip hole, but the computer does not recognize any CD or DVD that I put in the drive.  Anyone have ideas on what I should do?

    Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
    If that doesn't work, check if it's listed in the Device Manager.
    Windows key + x > Device Manager > DVD/CD-ROM drives
    If it is listed there, try right-clicking it and selecting "Uninstall." Then reboot your computer and see if it works.

  • Adobepdf.dll needed when installing CS3 with Windows 7.

    I have tried some of the tips given on the Adobe site to install the Adobepdf.dll file located on the CD, but installation still fails.

    Several folks have been successful with AA 8 one Win7 32-bit, and a few have reported success with 64-bit version. I have not heard of anyone using CS3, but if you can install it you may on your way. If Acrobat 8 installed, your first step is to do the updates, particularly if a 64-bit system. Indeed, AA 8 is not certified for use on Win7 and may fail in some aspects, but as I indicated, several folks have indicated success.

  • After Effects Windows 64 bit file won't open on Mac!

    I have CC on a Windows 7 (64 bit) system and on a MAC OSX Snow Leopard, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Version 10.6.8 and when attempting to open a Windows created After Effects file on the MAC got the "Can't open 64 bit version 12.2 file on this Mac" message. What to I have to do to make them compatible? I wasn't told this when I signed up!

    Your answer is either to upgrade your Mac's OS or to save the CC file as a CS6 file. (Which is possible according to this list.)

  • Bootcamp with Windows Vista

    Does installing bootcamp with Windows Vista significantly slow down a mac with a noticeable difference? I have a pretty new mac and am thinking about using this function. Does it make more sense to install windows xp? And what is a good amount of space to leave for the windows side to have?

    Does installing bootcamp with Windows Vista significantly >slow down a mac with a noticeable difference?
    What do you mean by this? Slows down the whole system? Or the performance of windows?; since you mentioned XP on your later question.
    I have tried both windows (vista & xp) on a macbook, and for performance, xp is faster.
    as for the whole system (macosX & windows) no diffrence in boot up and speed
    as for partition size of windows... that would depend on you whether your mp3, pics, videos would be used on windows or mac... mine is 20gb with no problem
