Installing SP3 in Win XP inhibits Photoshop Cs3 function

I certaintly hope I am posting in PHOTOSHOP CS3 FORUM:
I recently upgraded to SP3 in my Win XP and this upgrade caused Photoshop CS3 to fail: "....Photoshop not responding...". Curiously this is occuring in both my desktops (ASUS P6T  and ASUS P5W Deluxe. The desktop "SEARCH" also is not responding.  When I resore back to SP2 everything is OK.
Any suggestions?
I thank you

No, you are in Premiere Pro CS4 and earlier.

  • Win XP SP3 inhibits Photoshop CS3

    I recently purchased TurboTax for 2011 and found out that I must have SP3 in my Win XP PCs. Since my two PCs perform fantastic, in my video editing, with SP2 I was relactant to upgrade(?) to SP3., but I did.... Now my Photoshop CS3 opens but immediately "...is NOT responding". All my other Adobe: PPro Cs3, etc work fine. My Desktop SEARCH also stopped working. The MS support wanted me to allow them to remotly control my keyboard and mouse.... but I decided not too...
    I RESTORED back to SP2 and everything works...of course I cannot install TurboTax...
    Any ideas?
    I thank you so much.!!!

  • Installed 10.6.3 and now Photoshop CS3 won't open

    Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Photoshop CS3 hasn't been the same. Whether it is the OS or the new drivers to manage my printer and my scanner, I don't know.
    Today, I had been working on Photoshop all day and at some point the computer got slow and it told me it had a software update. I decided to save everything I was doing, quit Photoshop and install Mac OS 10.6.3 hoping it was the answer to all the glitches.
    Instead, Photoshop won't open at all anymore. I have restarted, shut down, repaired permissions, reinstalled the program, updated everything and it still won't open. It's the only program affected from my design suite as far as I can tell, but it's also the one I use the most!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Also happened here with all of my CS3 apps on my Mac Pro. Also, Quark XPress v8.16 exhibited the same crash at startup. *_Not Good_*! Lightroom loaded properly with no issues. Haven't had a chance to run through every app yet, but as a Graphic Designer, those are the ones I need to work. An interesting tidbit was that this did NOT occur on the installs of CS3 and Quark XPress on my MacBook, which also was updated to 10.6.3. Just the Mac Pro.
    Re-installed CS3 suite and Quark XPress to no avail. Also cleaned font caches.
    I "fixed" this by re-installing Snow Leopard from the DVD which brought me back to 10.6, which just installs over itself, keeping all your apps and settings intact. I then downloaded the older 10.6.2 Combo Update, and installed that, which brought me back to the point I was at prior to 10.6.3. I also ran a software update after the 10.6.2 update, and installed all the found updates EXCEPT for the 10.6.3 update it found.
    No problems as of yet...
    I'll report back if any do arise.
    My gut feeling is that this is some sort of color profile or font issue.

  • CS3 and PowerPC Mac - can't get Photoshop CS3 to install

    I'm using a PowerPC based Mac - OSX v 10.4.11. I tried to install the CS3 suite - some apps installed fine, some did not. Photoshop CS3 did not install. Now when I try to use PS CS2 quite a few features are missing, particularly in the filters menu. Has anyone seen this? Please help!
    Thanks

    You almost certainly will have to remove CS3 from your System before you can re-install CS2. After you have installed CS2, you can then re-install CS3 in addition.
    Use the Adobe Uninstaller and run the CleanScript as well for good measure.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    Then repair permissions both before and again after installing the software.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

    I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses).  I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
    Google searches aren't turning up anything.  When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears.  However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar.  I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1.  Nothing works.  The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
    I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today.  Go figure.
    Edit:  I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects().  The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function).  There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

    And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
    My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative.  All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related.  I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start.  That also did not work.
    (And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
    Edit:  The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking.  I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report.  Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

    I downloaded Photoshop CS3, although whenever I try to run the setup it says:
    Adobe Photoshop cannot be installed because it conflicts with:

    I tried searching around to see if I had photoshop laying around on my computer and I couldn't find anything..I searched in all my docouments, on my desktop and even my computer, and the adobe folder in c:/program files/adobe.
    I'm not sure what it means, and I don't think I have photoshop on my computer anyways, can anyone help?

  • Can't install Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP3

    Hello, I recently have reformated my machine and installed XP SP3
    sadly now, I can't install Photoshop CS3, when I double-click on Setup.exe, it show me a small bar/dialog which tells me it's extracting files, but after that, NOTHING HAPPENS
    I left it for an hour, and again, nothing happens. I checked my Task Manager and I found that Setup.exe and Msiexec.exe are running but with completely 0% of system resource.
    I tried everything possible, nothing worked for me, I really need Photoshop CS3 for my work.
    thanks advance

    I hear ya. that's on an existing system with an upgrade. i've solved (well, resolved) a remote desktop problem with a rollback to sp2.
    but on the clean xp pro sp3 system (1st app install after anti-virus and firewall), the cs3 install took about 10 minutes. very fast very smooth.

  • Photoshop CS3 fails to "open" in Win XP after SP3 upgrading

    In both my desktops: P5W Deluxe and P6T after I upgrade my Windows XP from SP2 to Sp3 I cannot open Photoshop CS3 (...Photoshop not respomding...)
    I do not think the problem is with Photoshop because my desktop "SEARCH" also does not function.
    I hope someone can suggest possible remedies.  When I RESTORE back to SP2 everything is OK. The reason I want to go to SP3 is the 2011 Turbotax "Home & Business" requires SP3!!!!
    I thank you
    Kosmas

    Photoshop certainly can work with XP SP3.
    I suggest making sure your drivers are all up to date.  For example, go to the web site of the maker of your video card and download/install their latest XP release for your hardware.
    You may also want to reinstall Photoshop to ensure all it's prerequisite requirements are re-examined by the installer.

  • Flash 10 stops OnOne Software Plugin Photoframe 4 from installing in Photoshop CS3

    I just went thru a hard drive crash. Just before that I purchased the OnOne Software Plugin PhotoFrame 4 Professional and installed it into my Photoshop CS3 and it worked fine.
    After the crash I had to have my corrupted raid drives (due to the controller going out) removed, and an IDE drive installed for the operating system.  The operating system was installed to the latest patch of Windows XP, SP3.  Adobe Flash 10 was also installed.  After I got the computer back from the shop and began reinstalling my software, and installed Photoshop CS3 and the PhotoFrame plugin, the plugin shows on a OneSoft pull down menu, but is grayed out.  After researching the problem, it looks like the problem is Adobe Flash 10.  I would like to go back to Flash 9, and tried downloading it from the Adobe site, but it is confusing with all the files you get and I'm afraid to install one, not knowing for sure which one would be the correct one.  Is there any place where I can just simply download Flash 9 like it used to be on the Adobe site, as I am pretty sure that will fix my problem.

    Hi Guys,
    Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
    Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
    Can some one help?  (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS3 installs but won't run on new OS install

    Hello,
    I've been searching through the forums and have seen some users with a similar problem, but haven't found any info that's relevant to my situation.
    I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.
    This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.
    The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.
    I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).
    I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.
    None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.
    Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
    Thanks,
    Thomas Park

  • Remote desktop no longer connects after installing Photoshop CS3

    Hi,
    Last week I downloaded and installed the Photoshop CS 3 extended trial on a PC that I regularly connect to via remote desktop. After Photoshop had finished installing, I could no longer connect to that machine (Its running Windows XP SP3) through remote desktop.
    Searching on this issue has quickly brought up the fact that CS3 installs Apple's Bonjour service and that has been known to cause connectivity problems for other users. I removed Bonjour by following the guide here (http://www.x64bit.net/site/board/index.php?s=888c3f3673c453dcc972decd6e67e8e0&showtopic= 4214&st=0&p=40719&#entry40719) and reset the Winsock catalog (netsh winsock reset).
    Unfortunately I still am unable to connect to that machine with remote desktop. These two machines are connected through a gigabit switch (nothing tricky at all) and it had been working flawlessly until I installed Photoshop CS3. Now when i enter the computer name in the remote desktop connection box and click "Connect", it shows activity (the colored bar moves) and then the connect button returns to its default state and nothing happens. No error messages or anything.
    I have searched Apple's forums and found users on various message boards report this same issue, but none seem to have a resolution (aside from re-installing the OS, which doesn't resolve anything if you end up re-installing CS3). Is anyone familiar with this issue and found a solution? If so, I would love to hear it!
    Thanks!

    I have the same exact issue right now. We purchased CS3 Master Collection and some - not all - of the machines are now refusing a RDP session. I looked in to the Bonjour service problem but it doesnt seem to be the issue. Other machines with the same service work fine.
    Anyone have an idea?
    Has Adobe addressed this at all. I am aware that more than just the two of us have experienced this issue.

  • How to install Camera RAW update for Photoshop CS3?

    I know this is an ancient version! But for now it's all I need. Anyway...
    My Adobe Updater says "No Internet connection.  Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall.  Waiting for connection..." That's the first problem.  I figured out how to manually update Photoshop and Bridge, but Adobe Updater still shows this message when trying to check for updates.  Also, I've tried to update Camera Raw from 4.0 to 4.6 and I can't figure out how to manually install it.  I knkow the website says to do the following:
    Mac:
    Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
    Open the Finder.
    Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user’s home folder).
    Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats.
    Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensureyou keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
    Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
    I manually entered "Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" and it says this folder doesn't exist.  Can anyone help me update my camera raw?!
    Thank you so much!
