Now installed CS3 on new Windows Ultimate 64bit - but fonts prob

Today is Saturday for me in Australia ...
I thought I would share my experience for others that may be getting a new computer in the near future.
On Wednesday afternoon Dell delivered new 64bit computer, 8G ram with Windows 64 Xp downgraded from Windows Ultimate 64. I phoned Dell and they said they would send a technician the following day to install Windows Ultimate 64 (which I had paid for). I live a long way out of the city (2 hours) so I was quite impressed with their service.
This duly happened on Thursday and the computer was running smoothly with Vista Ultimate 64bit in the late afternoon. Although Vista is very different, I am getting used to it and it comes with it's own security. I turned OFF the User Account reminders as they drove me mad constantly asking my permission - turning the reminders off made the installs easier too. I am the only user, so it's fine for me.
I then spent the rest of that day and Friday installing printers (which took some time getting 64bit drivers) and Adobe CS3 programs. One of the suites didn't activate so I called Adobe (just before closing time) and they activated over the internet as it hadn't de-activated from my other computer properly.
So, thanks to Bob's earlier advice - I now have all my CS3 Production and Web suites installed and CS3 Indesign.
The only little glitch appears to be Indesign doesn't see the fonts installed in the Windows folder. I have deleted the Adobefnt.lst and reopened Indesign but it still doesn't see them.
Have I missed something? Or should I ask this in the Indesign forum?

I found a post elswhere about the Arial Narrow font family.
It said to find an old computer/disc that had the Arial Narrow font family dated 1998. I was lucky to find a disc that I had copied my fonts folder in 1998. I deleted all Arial Narrow fonts, and copied the 4 old fonts dated 1998 Arial Narrow family to the fonts folder. All is working properly now.
The problem apparently has to do with Office 2007 not Adobe.

  • New Windows XP 64bit, but no drivers for K8N Neo Platinum

     
    Hello,
     I have a MSI K8N Neo Platinum with an AMD 2800+. Just received the new Windows XP 64bit edition after attending a trade show in Houston. Used Partition Magic to make a separate partition on my SATA 400GB HD, knowing there was possibly going to be a problem. This is the final release, retail packaged, not the Beta.
    The only drivers found was for my MSI Nvidia 5600 AGp video card. No other audio, Nvidia chipset or board drivers are plug & play. Onboard LAN isn't even found.
    Any drivers out yet? I figure i'll have to wait. Can't get updates either bacause it won't detect onboard LAN or a Linksys or 3Com PCI card I tried also.
    Woodrow

    There most certainly are nVidia drivers.  The only thing that there aren't drivers for currently is the onboard sound.  This, combined with lack of driver support for my peripherals (webcam and printer) are why I haven't made the switch.

  • Installed CS3 on new Vista Ultimate 64-bit laptop and having problems

    I'm aware that CS3 was not made to run on a 64-bit computer, but I'm just wondering if there are workarounds for the errors that I am having. First, when I open ID I get a Javascript error 30619. It doesn't seem to effect the application any to just click through the warning and proceed, but I get it everytime I open the app and that gets old quick. I can live with that, however, but the real annoying issue that I've come across that is really driving nuts is the failure of the "enter" key to give me a paragraph break like it's supposed to. Both the enter keys now give me a page break no matter what key combination I use. I no longer have paragraph break, line break, or column break at my fingertips and I use them all a lot.  I literally have to copy and paste them or choose them from the insert characters menu. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and if there is a workaround or a fix?

    This was a fresh install on a new computer. I had errors with the install that appear to be common with Acrobat Pro on 64 bit computers.  It crashed the install and I had to remove what had installed and retry the install from scratch. I clicked past the error on the Acrobat Pro install on the second try and was able to get the full suite to install, but it's not functioning correctly.  ID is the only application I've used at length so far, and I've run into the two errors I mentioned in the original post.
    Should I try the install again?  I had to get a phone activation because my other laptop fatally crashed before I could remove the suite, so I don't want to have to deactivate and activate the software again.

  • Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

    Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
    safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
    What do I do?

    So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
    I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
    Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
    During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
    After install is finished, reboot
    After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
    Now start CS4 and run the updater.

  • How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

    This is not asking for a problem fix.
    How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
    I am currently in Windows Vista.
    I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
    Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
    Thanks,

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop, and I can't open my raw images in camera raw. It worked fine on my old XP computer

    I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop. Why can't I open my raw images in camera raw? Worked fine on my old XP computer

    If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
    Which camera are the camera raw files from?
    After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
    Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
    or
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 32 bit)
    replacing the existing camera raw 8bi?

  • Error installing the beta on Window 7 64bit

    The beta installed fine on one system, but another (Windows 7 64bit), using the same install files I get:
    FATAL: Payload '{0712C1A3-F5C0-4D29-9CC8-225ED1CEDFF2} Camera Profiles Installer 6.0.70.0' information not found in Media_db.
    I have CS 5 installed on the working system and CS5.5 and Lightroom 4.0 installed on the failing system.  The only other odd thing is that I initially tried to install it on D drive due to lack of space on C.  Now when I run set-up agian, it shows C:\Program Files\Adobe as default install dir, but shows available space from D drive (there is a very significant diference in free space between the drives). It will fail with the error installing to either drive.
