Installing desktop software on new laptop with Vista

I had a laptop with XP and everything worked fine. Got a new one with Vista and now the software will not install. It did install properly (at least I thought) once, but then would not sync with the device. I tried 4.2 and I tried 4.7, both from the Blackberry site. I keep getting the error message "windows is shutting down the desktop software installation and will notify you of a solution". This is after 20-45 minutes of downloading. My device is a Verizon Curve. Any thoughts?

I installed it twice each time under program file as it wouldn't recognize the program file(x64) folder. I created an adobe folder under program file and installed there which when perfectly well including name, serial number until disc 3 of CS2 suite.
Interestingly when I opened photoshop it showed the correct name and serial number but the error statement I first commented showed.
Perhaps I am just going to have to spring for CS4

Installing CS2Premium upgrade onto new laptop with Windows 8

I am trying to install a Creative Suite 2 Premium upgrade onto a new laptop with Windows 8. The upgrade is from Photoshop 5.0, which I also have the original discs for, but is not installed on this new laptop. Therefore, the upgrade is not being recognized. I tried putting the 5.0 disc in and having the installation search for it as verification, but that wasn't working. I realize both of these programs are ancient, but they are what I have. So be it. :-) Can someone help me figure out how to get my CS2 upgrade to install?

Hi tensuns,
You can download the CS2 Setup from the below mentioned link also please use the serial key mentioned in it.

No you cannot, it doesn't allow that level of customization.

Help Needed - installing tuner software on a laptop with no CDrom

Hi there,
I recently purchased an Asus Mini Laptop and was given an MSI Digi Vox Micro HD tuner for free with my purchase. I was so excited because I had really wanted to buy a TV tuner, not owning a television and all.
Anyway, only later when I opened the box did I realise that I couldn't install the software for the Tuner because I don't have a CDrom drive! All the drivers and everything installed fine, but obviously I cant make use of the tuner without the software.
I have looked at the official page for the tuner but they only offer driver downloads, not software downloads. Does anyone know how I can make this work? I really, really want to get it up and running.
Thanks in advance.

you can copy cd contents to usb key on another computer.

Re-installing Contribute 3 onto new PC with Vista

After I've moved all the folders and file across to my new
Pc, and then double click the 'Contribute' icon, the program
doesn't run, but I get an error message "MMxpt has stopped
working".
Can anyone help me?

Craig, simply moving your files across to the new pc will not
work, you still need to reinstall contribute using the install
discs.

Time Capsule access goes away, after new comps with vista

Hi. I am not a computer person, but I work in a small nonprofit and our IT person has gone on vacation. our network keeps creashing and we loose access to the time capsule data. This all started happening after we installed 2 new computeres with Windows Vista and 2 new laptops with Vista were added to the network. Can somebody please help me out. I can't get any work done! Thanks =)

The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine?
The amber light is like the "Check Engine" light in your car. It blinks for a reason......the Time Capsule has a message for you.
That message might be that there is a firmware update available for the Time Capsule that needs to be installed....or....that AirPort Utility has detected that the Time Capsule is not configured correctly to work with the Xfinity router that you are now using.
To see the message.....open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot
Then look for a Status setting, and click on the small amber dot there
A message will appear to tell you why the Time Capsule is whining, along with a suggested action to fix the issue.
If you are still having difficult, we for you to post back with the exact message that you see.

Lightroom 5 - Re-installing existing licence to new laptop

Hi there
I recently had an accident with my laptop. It is now dead. I want to re-install Lightroom 5 which I purchased as a download, I have the licence number. I have attempted downloading via free trial, as per forum suggestions but this forced me to download Creative Cloud and would not accept my licence number, says it is not applicable that I already have it. My understanding is that you can install the program onto two computers, as long as they both belong to the same person. I have spent a couple of hours fiddling around and am getting frustrated, can someone offer some advise please. thanks in advance

This seems to be a fairly frequent problem, it seems to be hard to find the non-CC version for download and the CC version won't work with a non CC license key.
So, here's what I believe you need to do:
Uninstall the CC version you've downloaded and installed.
Go to here http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
That should take you to the country-specific download page. I know it says updates but if you click on the Windows or Mac version of LR it's actually the whole program
Download and follow the instructions for installation and then enter your serial number when asked to.
Stand-alone LR does not need de-activating, you can install it on your new laptop with the old number without any problems. I've done it myself in the past as I've moved on to newer PCs. CC and pre-CC Photoshop does need de-activation but not non CC LR.
Good luck!

I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

I think you mean Photoshop CS2. Photoshop 2 is from around 1992. The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

Loading 4.2.1 software into a new HP with Vista

Hi everyone. Brand new here and new some help/advice. I've had a Blackberry for years and have it loaded into my desktop but just took on a new company laptop (we don't have tech people - too small) and I'm trying to load my cdrom software into the HP laptop. I keep getting a message that saying the wizard was interrupted before it was able to load the desktop software. My desktop is XP and this new laptop is Vista (oh yea) and so not knowing enough to simply understand what I have to do, I'm asking for help. I have downloaded from RIM the software for 4.2.1 service patch as well, but it kicks out the same message..... help please!
Rick

Thanks.. I just tried that and it still gives me the message that the program was interupted before it finished and did not load!

Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

How do I install PageMaker 7 on a new laptop with Windows 8.1? Too many files, and nothing brings me to the registration menu.

I am at my wits end trying to install PageMaker 7.0 on my new laptop with System 8.1. When the disk is inserted, there is a long list of files. Other times it takes me to the Installation menu - which will not open when I click on it.
My PC is also system 8.1, and somehow the place I bought it from installed PageMaker and it works fine.
I hope you'll email me a response. I don't want to have to keep logging on here to search for an answer. Adobe won't help me.
Help.

Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

I have used the same CS5.5 software for almost 2 years. I tried installing it on my new laptop and the installer is saying that my serial # is invalid. How do I fix this?

I had Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection downloaded onto my old computer for almost a year. I uninstalled CS5.5 from my old computer and tried installing it on my new laptop, but the installer says that my serial # is not valid. How do I fix this? I have never run into this problem before, and I really need my software back up and running, because I have a sizeable project due in 3 days. Any help is appreciated!
