Installing Photoshop CS1 on Vista, cant even read disk

I just got a Vista machine and have installed all my CS3 stuff, MS Office, and other various things with no problems. When I got to Photoshop CS1, It doesnt even autostart. When I click on the drive, it says to insert a CD and ejects the tray. Is this a CS1/Vista glitch and if so, is there a fix somewhere? Not seeing any message about it in the patches section

>Robert...is that really true???
yes, it's true.
>Even if it is, shouldnt Vista atleast be able to read the files on the CD?
yes it should. many people report running photoshop as far back as 7 on vista (sometimes with minor issues). but cs1 by almost all accounts should run fine. it definately SHOULD be able to read the disk.
> but the disk works fine on the other computers which have XP
if you read it on another system, do what i said and copy the photoshop folder off the disk to a network share and install from there.
>i just took the computer out of the box tonite so I know the drive isnt bad.
no guarantee. cables often work loose during shipping. any number of things could go wrong. in fact, i'd say the failure rate on almost all system components is GREATER on a new system than on a system that's been running fine for at least a couple of months.

  • Installing Photoshop on Windows Vista....HELP!

    Can someone PLEASE help me?
    I had a PC which got hit by lighting and now it is d-e-a-d dead. It has Windows XP on it and it also had all my programs. I have Photoshop version 6, with the CS2 upgrade. I have product key and paid for it.
    I went out and bought a laptop, and it has Windows Vista on it. I can't seem to install my Photoshop because it won't even read my ver 6 disk. It will read the CS2 disk, but since it is only an upgrade, it keeps asking for anther ver and stupid Vista won't read my ver 6! ARG!
    What am I do to? I downloaded a patch for Vista and PS, but it is for ver 7 and higher......but I have 6! It's not like I run 6 anymore, I use the CS2, but i need to install 6 to get CS2 on the machine.
    Does ANYONE know what I can or should do? I soooooooo need my program working, I am losing work over this!
    HELP!

    > You have to have version 7 for the upgrade.
    Not for CS2. But the problem is that the OP is using a DVD drive. This
    was a known issue installing CS2 upgrades. The installer couldn't read the earlier version from a DVD drive.

  • I installed Itunes on my Vista, but error reads that there was no Apple Application Support installed and Itunes needs this in order to run

    I need to back up my iphone 5s on my old PC running Windows Vista SP2. After installing the proper iTunes that would run on Vista, I get an error as follows;
    "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)"
    I will appreciate any help. Thanks

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Cannot get a newly installed Photoshop CS1 application to start up.

    I have a PowerMac G5 desktop computer that has been freshly installed with Mac OS X 10.5.4.  Using Adobe Creative Suite 1, I did a custom installation of Photoshop CS & ImageReady CS, and also InDesign CS.
    InDesign and ImageReady started up with no problems. But after I double-clicked the Photoshop icon I got a window with the message: "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information."
    So I trashed the Photoshop & ImageReady folder and re-installed them again. But I'm getting the exact same results as before: ImageReady starts up alright, but Photoshop displays the same window and message.
    All the other Adobe CS1 applications I've installed are starting up alright. Can you tell me what's causing this problem and how to fix it? Thanks for your help!

    Did you have another version of PS on there?

    Interesting solution here...
    1. Control+Click the Adobe Photoshop CS application file within the Applications > Photoshop CS folder and select "Show package contents".
    2. Open the Contents folder, then open the Resources folder.
    3. Locate the USERREG file in the Resources folder, and drag it to the desktop. Keep the Resources folder open.
    4. Control+Click the Adobe ImageReady CS application file within the Applications > Photoshop CS folder and select "Show package contents".
    5. Open the Contents folder, then open the Resources folder.
    6. Locate the USERREG file in the Resources folder, and copy it to the Resources folder for Photoshop.
    7. Launch Photoshop, and launch ImageReady to be sure the file was copied to Photoshop.

  • I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please help

    I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.

    thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
    Options.....
    1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
    2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+     ((((MAC FORMAT)))  (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)    ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

    i have read up on all about crashes and i cant even open it in safe mode :( i have tried deleting it and reinstalling it but the problem still persists. What would you suggest i do and is there any way i canget hold of firefox 6 for mac?

    Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How can I install Photoshop 5.0 with Windows Vista?

    I have Photoshop 5.0 LE and have tried and tried to install it on windows vista. Does anyone have suggestions
    on how I can install it. My system Type is x64-based PC and my system directory is C:\windows\system 32. Any suggestions are welcome, I will try everything that I haven't already tried.  I previously had Adobe Photo Deluxe 3.o Deluxe Home Edition and I loved it, but it no longer works on XP or Vista.     Thanks.

    I don't think you will have much luck with that ancient program.
    Why not go for Photoshop Elements? At least it's from the present century!
    There are also free basic image editing applications.
