Is Vista ok with Adobe programs

About to buy a new computer since my laptop screen with CS2 suite installed in it went out. Am thinking as an interim step to just get a flat screen monitor so I can see enough to move my files to an external hard drive. Then decide whether I want a destop or another laptop. If I go with Vista OS, does Adobe programs jive with it? Anything else to think about?

Yes, it's very strange indeed. I've been fighting this for a month now, since we upgraded to Vista, with no headway or success. (And from reading here it sounds like plenty of people are using CS3 successfully with Vista, on lesser-powered machines no less.)
Links and InDesign files have been tested both locally and on the file server (which is where we prefer to work, since we have over 50 operators and artists on staff).
The network is gigabit throughout.
No antivirus installed locally. All files are scanned before they hit the workstations.
This problem only affects CS3 apps and MS Outlook (see below). No bluescreen, the applications reports as "not responding" and if you try to click anywhere it greys out. The rest of the machine is fully functional, and you can switch to another app and then back to the CS3 app. You just can't do anything and have to wait it out.
The one exception is Outlook; if this happens and you switch to Outlook it too will lock up for the duration. So I can't even check my email while I'm waiting for CS3 to come back to life. :o(
No RAID units locally. The network is a SAN.

What hardware is comparable to use with adobe programs, screens, cpu, hard-drives, printers, mouse,

What hardware is essential to use with these types of programs? video, keyboard, cpu, printers, mouse, etc. C5 program I am interested in.

While some people on this forum use CS5, the forum itself is devoted to Lightroom, which isn't at all the same, even though it has Photoshop in its name. You'd probably have much better luck by asking your question on one of the Photoshop forums.

How to get Adobe programs running?

I am running Adobe CC on a Windows 7 machine, 64bit. The machine has registry software (PC Mechanic) and McAfee antivirus. I have 8 gigs of RAM and a dual core CPU. When I run Adobe, I tend to also have a web browser like Opera running in the background. Windows is used exclusively for Adobe software. I have frequent issues with Adobe programs, like Dreamweaver or Photoshop not being able to launch. Or getting errors like "internal signature error". I have called Adobe technical support, who logged onto my computer several times, but their technicians are consistently stumped. Collegues suggested I simply uninstall and reinstall the software. That worked at first, now the programs will no longer launch---even if reinstalled.
Adobe seems unable (or perhaps just unwilling to help). It is suggested that Adobe simply cannot work on the Windows operating system. Rather, the programs are made for MAC computers, not Windows.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to get Adobe CC to run on Windows 7?

Hi Ikhider,
I am running Adobe CC products on a Windows 7 64-bit system too. I also use McAfee anti-virus software as well.
For troubleshooting I would try first shutting down everything running in the background not required by right-clicking on the icons in the system tray and choosing quit or exit.
When launching the Adobe apps try right clicking on the icons and choosing Run As Administrator and see if that makes any difference
The Resolve product launch freezes or problems section of this document might help:

Mac freezing when using Photoshop or other Adobe programs

Hey guys I'm having some issues with Photoshop and some other Adobe programs (After Effects, Premiere). These programs are on version CS6 and work fine until maybe 10-20 minutes later it freezes the whole computer. I can't move anything, it just freezes. It's only with Adobe programs, that's why I'm here.
Help?

If the whole computer freezes, you're looking at OS, hardware, or low level driver problems.
The most common cause is bad RAM. But we've also seen it caused by bad motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and power supplies.
Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere share very little code.
So what you're saying is that programs that move a lot of memory and use the GPU extensively are causing the machine to freeze.
That still means it could be the RAM, CPU, motherboard, or GPU.

Windows vista - IE 7 - problem with adobe flash player

last week I bought a notebook with MS vista home premium,
after some hours of
enthusiasm I had problems with adobe flash player.
Accessing to some sites I receiveed the requested to install
flash player, I did it and even if the installation seemed
ended fine I always got the pop up with the request to
install Flash player, as if it were not previously installed.
I did a boot after every installation.
I read your forum on:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1262552&enterthread=y
and I tried to follow some suggestions reported on it , like
uninstall the flash player using the
downloaded uninstall program from adobe site then I tried to
reinstall flash player “as administrator”
but always the installation appeared to end fine, the
programs was present into macromed flash directory
but I continue to receive the pop up to install flash player,
moreover some
images commonly shown when I visit the same sites from
another PC with XP are not shown on the new
pc with Vista, I think that also this problem could be
connected to flash player not well installed
One of these sites is www.rossoalice.it or youtube.
At this point, I think that the problem can be on the
registry but I don’t know what I can check.
I sow on the above adobe forum that mr. Darren J. McNally was
involved in this kind of problem,
every your suggestions will be very appreciated.

I got my computer about 6 months ago and i use
foxfire but i need explorer to work for my games but the adobe
flash player dont work i think if this cant be fixed vista i
probaly the gayest thing u can have on ur computer and adobe should
stop making flash players that dont work and just go do something
like sell stuffed animals at a carnival unless thats just to hard
for them and they wont do that right either. Grrrrrrrrrrr read this
and laugh or follow instructions or get back to. this be an angry
letter for sho. scuba steve out. and ahhhhhhh if u find solution
tell me asap or i will eat a cat for everyday u dont tell me im

I have an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription without a serial number. After a format of my hard drive, how to I reconnect with my program

I have an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription without a serial number. In a needed reformatting of my hard drive, Adobe Acrobat was removed. How do I get access to my Adobe program again?

Hi,
Go to http://www.adobe.com and sign-in with you Adobe ID ( on which you purchased the subscription).
Then, on right hand side panel, click on 'Desktop' under Apps section. And then location Acrobat XI Pro and download it.

Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
Pdfs with other versions are okay:
Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
Thank you,
Louise.

Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.

All my CS 3 programs open with "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly"

I just installed CS3 suite with discs. All my CS 3 programs open with "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly” crashes programs sometimes ! icon

Adobe programs dont work with Captivate to capture/record

Hi there.
I've had problems with Captivate capturing screen recording from Adobe Premier cs5, where it would not show any of the video which was being edited. I figured this was just the video issue and worked around it by just not showing the video preview for the small thing i was demonstrating, it wasnt a big deal if it was just isolated to this.
Next I was using Adobe Photoshop and setting up a little demo on how to fill objects. Captivate did not pick up the cursor, it shows a ugly black box.
I also want it to pick up the full motion of my mouse cursor in photoshop, but it doesnt come close, so as im narrating how to do something, my actual mouse is not showing at the same time as im saying it which is essential when you are trying to show a way to FILL a certain area of a shape.
I had plans to do many things with captivate, now it seems i am going to have to switch back and forth with Camtasia, convert to AVI the parts that Captivate does not handle, and then import them into Captivate to make my demonstrations look seemless???
I have a lot planned for Adove CS5 Flash, is this also going to give me the same problem?
I have already searched for a solution tot his, and everyone has said that captivate does not capture things where there is overlayed content etc etc...
This strikes me slightly insane when Camtasia does it so well, and Im using an Adobe program to provide training on Adobe programs...
If anyone knows any delevopers for captivate on here, can they PLEASE look at this right now as im slapping myself wondering why this is the case and how im going to plan to do all the simulations half with camtasia and half with captivate on Adobe products we use at my work.....
Oh see the below link around slide 42 to get an example of what im saying here..
http://www.blcstudents.com.au/tutorials/col-fill/colour-fill.htm
or you can check out
http://www.blcstudents.com.au/tutorials/wp/?page_id=35 its at the bottom of the page.
Anyway im worried about what to be doing at this point, I got captivate for adobe products, not for other products and programs out there.
Cheers for any help,
Ben.

Just out of curiosity, are you able to modify the mouse cursor AFTER doing the captures once you're back in Captivate editing them?
For example, are you able to select the mouse for the slides where it added this wierd square cursor, then choose the normal arrow cursor from the Properties tabl > Options accordion?
Or are you able to delete the mouse from these same slides, and add it back again, and then select the cursor you want?
Have you found that there is nothing you can do to change this particular cursor on these slides?

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro. when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop.
adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
any advice?
update:
i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file. it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to. but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

hey ankit,
sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
"1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
"2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
by this do you mean the correct permissions? if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
"3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent.
as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally). HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned!

I chose Acrobat PDF download, but do not know how to be sure that the books have been downloaded and saved. Do I have the Adobe program necessary to contain several eBooks? Once I close the download page, I cannot have access to it again. So, now or never. There is a storm here and with my luck the electricity will go out. Please assist me.
