Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems

Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine without problems? I have over 400 GB,s free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems. I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256 GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop. You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor. If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade What is your system out of interest? I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough. Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition. The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop. The user manipulates the image and saves the changes. The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server. The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image. The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing. But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
- I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
- I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation. The script just stops working in this situation.
- I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3. The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version. But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions. So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

Do you mean schroot? If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

Is Photoshop CS6 compatible with Windows Vista?

Is the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Version (Legacy Editions) compatible with Windows Vista?

No.
Photoshop CS6 is officially supported on Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 or Windows 8 only.

CS5 was the last version to be officially supported on Vista.

Photoshop CS6 upgrade and Windows Vista

I own Photoshop CS5 and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit platform. Can I upgrade to CS6 ? Your upgrade ad and recent published info says that only platforms using Windows XP or Windows 7 are upgradable. What happened to Windows Vista ?

It works on Vista, even if it is not officialyl supported. Just be prepared that things like OpenGL support, tablet drivers etc. may act funny and some features may not work at all.

Hi,
The factory reset is necessary I guess. Is there still the recovery partition (D: drive)?? If yes, press esc(ape) at startup and then F11 and follow the instructions to perform "Factory Reset". Before you do this make a list of hardware such as graphics card, wireless card, ethernet card etc. from the Device Manager to know what drivers you need from the HP website in case that the factory reset goes wrong. You could also follow this to install a fresh system which I would prefer.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/248995/how_to_install_windows_7_without_the_disc.html
I would not recommend to upgrade the system to Windows 7 and Windows 8 is completely out of question. The lappy is too old for W8 and I don't think it will perform well even on W7 if you manage to install all drivers.

Photoshop CS "Locked" in windows vista 32 bit

Everything in CS works except for Photoshop. Error msg "failed to initialize. go to properties in windows explorer to unlock". I can't find any tab or button in explorer that has "lock" or "unlock". I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Run as administrator is set. All the properties match the same as properties for Illustrator and Indesign. Anti virus and windows defender are turned off. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Zeno Bokar, YES, YES, YES, that worked. Thank you very much.

ITunes 7.6 will not install on Windows Vista 32-bit (iPod Service problem)

Basically, my story is near-identical to the one here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1572880&tstart=0
EXCEPT that after trying EVERYTHING rmurtagh did, I STILL had no success. Specifically, when I try to install iTunes, I get the error "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." and when I try to change anything using services.msc, I get the error, "The system cannot find the file specified." PLEASE HELP!!

when I try to change anything using services.msc, I get the error, "The system cannot find the file specified." PLEASE HELP!!
Are you getting that if you try to manually restart the iPod Service in Services.msc?
If so, do you get an error message number with the message? If so, what number is it?

I have CS6 installed on Wiindows Vista 64x bit. Everyyhing is fine apart from inaccurate metadata. v

I have CS6 installed on Windows Vista 64x bit. Everything is fine except for some inaccurate metadata. Camera raw v 6.7 is displayed instead of the latest installed ver 7.1. Also lens serial numbers are not shown or are missing. In lens specification f/0 shows up which of course is wrong.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Just to be sure, try a short procedure...
1. Open a raw file into Camera Raw.
2. From the fly-out menu select Camera Raw Defaults.
3. Convert the image, opening into Photoshop.
4. Check File - File Info. Do you see the problem there?
5. File - Save As a JPEG.
6. Check Properties of the file, ensure it's the one you just saved by looking at the date, and see if you see the problem there.

Error: "Unable to find a working IR device" in Windows Vista 64-bit, Audigy 4

I have Audigy 4 Pro with the RM-500 remote that came with it.
The remote is not working in Vista 64-bit (Enterprise).
It is definitely not a hardware problem because everything works in Windows XP Professional SP3. When I dual boot into Vista, the remote doesn't control anything in Windows but the red light on the I/O external box is blinking so it's definitely receiving input.
When I run "Entertainment Center Settings", I get the error "Unable to find a working IR device" and all the options are greyed out.

Has anyone gotten the remote working in Windows Vista 64-bit's? Thank you for your help.

_ I am having this exact same issue on vista business 32 bit. Everything else on the external box works perfectly fine, except the remote. The remote does work however with intelliremote, but I cannot justify paying the money for such simple functionality. Any fix on [email protected]

Browse sequence in Windows Vista 64-bit?

This is a duplicate post. I posted it nestled down in another browse sequence thread and didn't get any nibbles, so I am creating a new thread. I hope no one minds.
Hi all, I'm wondering if I can get a little help from the gurus here. I've been through the forums and internet trying to find the answer to browse sequences and glossary tabs in Windows Vista 64-bit. I am running Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium Service Pack 2.
I need to mention that my .chm files work fine on Windows XP (multiple machines tested). My project consists of a master .chm (thanks Peter Grainge for the step-by-step, which I followed to the letter) with 15 slave projects.
I've copied the hhactivex.dll from the Program Files\Adobe\RoboHelp\RoboHTML (426 KB) on my Windows XP machine and saved it in the following folders on my Windows Vista 64-bit machine:
c:\windows\system32
c:\windows\sysWOW64
I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\system32 to do the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx
Both commands registered successfully. When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
So, I then tried unregistered hhactivex.dll and hhctrl.ocx in the c:\windows\system32 folder using the regsvc32 and the cmd.exe (as administrator) in that same folder.
I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\sysWOW64 to do the following:
regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhctrl.ocx
Both commands registered successfully. When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
I've been pulling my hair out on this one. I've seen posts mentioning the "Unblock" Button on the .chm's Properties - General tab - Advanced dialog, but I do not have an Unblock button anywhere in the properties for these .chms. I also do not have the Microsoft KB 89xxxxx security updates on my Vista 64-bit computer that I can find.
I also say a post that put the path/filename in quotes when using regsvr32. I tried registering again using the same scenarios above in system32 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll") and sysWOW64 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll") but still I cannot get the browse sequences/glossary to work in thses compiled .chms -- whether opening the master or the slave.
After I registered the hhactivex.dll on a Windows XP test machine, if I opened a .chm and then went into Windows Explorer and tried to delete the hhactivex.dll, I'd get a "file in use" error. However, when I open a .chm on my Vista 64-bit machine and try to delete the hhactivex.dll in either system32 or sysWoW64, it deletes without error. I verified this with all of the different registering methods I described in this post (registering, testing, unregistering, moving to next folder, etc.). Being able to delete the .dll on the Vista machine tends to make me believe that the .dll isn't really registering, Either way, it isn't being accessed when a .chm file is opened like on a Windows XP machine.
I've been around the internet trying to find out exactly how to register .dlls in Vista 64-bit, and unless I'm totally missing something I believe I am doing this correctly. If I am doing something wrong, could someone guide me in the right direction with a complete step-by-step method that works in Vista 64-bit?
I have yet to test Vista 32-bit or any version of Windows 7, but I am hoping that once I resolve the problem in Vista 64-bit that the rest will be non-issues. I hope anyway, as I have no means to test those platforms.
Thanks in advance for making it to the end of this long post of mine. I appreciate any help!

The 32bit version of HH.exe is kept in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". When you double click a CHM file on a 64 bit machine, it launches the 64 bit version of hh.exe kept in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 directory.
To launch a CHM with 32 bit version hh.exe, run the following command in a 64 bit machine C:\Windows\SysWOW64\hh.exe <CHM file Path>
The other good news is that you can get the 64 bit version of HHActiveX.dll in RoboHelp 9.0. It is kept at "<RoboHelp 9.0 install folder>\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll"
If RoboHelp 9.0 is installed on your machine, this activeX control is already registered. Otherwise you need to register this DLL.
To register 64bit version of HHActiveX.dll,
1> Run Command prompt(cmd.exe) as administrator
2> Type "regsvr32 <64 bit HHActiveX.dll full path>" and press Enter.
3> This should show that the registration is done successfully.
Now working with 64 bit version of HH.exe should also show Glossary and Browse Sequences.

APPCRASH on Windows Vista 32-Bit

This has been happening for awhile now and is really getting under my skin. My computer is free of viruses and spyware (I'm a computer pro) and yet I still cannot figure this out or find a solution.
Every time I plug in my iPod to sync it on my Windows Vista 32-bit machine, iTunes automatically opens and then I get a Windows Vista Crash error. Regardless of how I answer that question, iTunes closes. The iPod then enters an endless boot loop. Reopening iTunes does not solve this, nor does restarting the computer. iTunes has been reinstalled several times and no luck. The only way around this issue is to force iPod into disk mode, format it, use iTunes (which works then) to restore it, and then recopy my entire library every time I want to sync it. The iPod still functions properly at all other times.
The details of the crash are as follows. Again, my computer is verified Spyware and Virus free and I have installed the latest versions of iTunes every time they come out to rule out an iTunes issue. This has to be a file conflict. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

ntdll.dll can indicate all manner of things, unfortunately. (I only tend to associate it's appearance in error event with malware on XP systems.) It's such a fundamental part of the operating system that it can be a driver or damaged file of just about any description triggering the ntdll.dll issue.
... conceivably it could be ntdll.dll itself, though. Is the PC a little unstable at the moment in other ways? If so, an sfc /scannow is probably worth a try:

Can't install itunes on windows vista 64 bit

I'm trying to install itunes on a windows vista 64 bit machine but keep getting the error message "could not access network location %appdata%\." Does anybody know what is the matter?

could not access network location %appdata%\
It looks like it's having trouble getting one of the iTunes preference files in. There's a couple in each user account (usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes).
Has a version of iTunes previously been successfully installed on that PC? If so, was it working properly prior to your doing the current installs?
What hard drive is your "Users" folder on? Is it the C drive or somewhere else?
If it's somewhere else, are your Program files also on that other drive or are they on the C drive?

Iphone 3Gs on Windows Vista 64 bit

What programs are included with the iphone 3Gs for downloading photograph to a windows vista 64 bit machine? Is there an iphoto version for windows? How about video downloading?

Guys/Gals - I was able to fix this. I don't know for all versions, but here's the system/setup I was having problems with:
* iPhone 3G software version 3.1
* iTunes latest two versions (current 9.0, also previous version before I tried upgrading)
* Windows Vista 64-bit
I've been able to connect my phone to iTunes and download pictures in Windows, but after a recent Windows Update, OR a recent iTunes upgrade, OR a recent Norton 360 update (I didn't know which was the killer) I could no longer see the iPhone in Windows OR iTunes. Nothing could. I couldn't transfer music, couldn't transfer photos.
I did both a RESTORE on the iPhone and UPGRADED iTunes this week to version 9.0 and finally got a solid connection between iTunes and the iPhone. That is the first (current) fix.
But still couldn't "see" it in Windows Vista Explorer.
After reading and reading and reading, and finding no workable solution (I tried: shutting off User Control, shutting down the Windows and Norton Firewalls, tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and performed those steps in many configurations), I also tried resinstalling the drivers through Control Panel (but it kept finding some generic "Windows Camera Driver" or some such), looking on my computer for usbaapl.sys (not there), I started looking on the web for it (but I'm always nervous about downloading drivers unless from the specific vendor's site), I finally did a search for "usbaapl" - and FOUND a driver in c:\windows\system32\drivers\ called "usbaapl64.sys".
On a fluke, I first created a COPY of the file, and renamed the copy "usbaapl.sys" (since that file did NOT exist on my machine previously).
Voila. I can now see the phone in Windows Vista Explorer.
Someone at Apple isn't talking to someone at Microsoft, I think. Microsoft Vista x64 (with all current updates) is still looking for usbaapl.sys - iTunes is now shipping with usbaapl64.sys.

M515 and Windows Vista 64 bit HotSync Issue

Hi
I have a M515 which I am unable to sync with a Windows Vista 64 bit machine using a USB cable. My computer does not have a IR port.
Read thru several threads but did not find a solution for this problem for a 64 bit machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Post relates to: Palm m515

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

Lenovo G405 Incompatibility with Windows Vista-32 bit

Hello I'm new here so I wasn't so sure if this is properly posted here but thanks.
I bought a Lenovo G405 laptop that came with dos 6.22 or 6.2.2 or something. Then I performed a clean installation of Windows Vista 32-bit. The problem is that, I can't find any drivers for lenovo g405 that is compatible with windows vista .. Even the AMD Auto diagnostic tool refuses to install the detected driver since it was Hardware/Software Incompatible. Any suggestions? or Links for Win Vista Drivers for Lenovo g405. Thanks!

If your model is lacking the correct Vista drivers from Lenovo and Vista doesn't offer native support then I see upgrading to Windows 7 as your only option. Here is a link to what Lenovo drivers are available.......
