Photoshop cs3 trial - Vista - Won't extract

Hello, I'm having trouble getting the trial i downloaded to extract onto my system. It tells me i either haven't got enough room or administritive privileges to run the set-up. Both of which aren't true.
any help someone could offer me?
edit: this is the exact message i'm getting
"a problem occured while extracting some files. check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder"
I tried running that regsvr script, didn't help though.
Thanks.
edit: okay, so I've now tried downloading it off of ie7 as opposed to firefox and I've got past the stage i got to previously. Strange.

are you trying to run setup from inside the archive? extract the whole thing first to a temporary folder then run setup from there.

Cant download the Photoshop CS3 trial?

Hi,
I cant download the Photoshop CS3 trial. When I press the button to download it looks like the page will start the download but then it just stops and there is no download. All the other downloads work ok.
Any direct links to the download?

Does
this help? If you still have trouble, there are some suggestions available
in this service note about how to address downloading difficulties. First suggestion is (if you are using IE) make sure your Temporary Internet Files cache space is big enough to hold the downloaded file. (I would certainly have problems if I used IE, since I have my TIF space set very low; however, I use Firefox, which doesn't apply its cache size limit to downloads, thank heavens!)

Installed Photoshop CS3 trial, now previous Photoshop 7 won't work

I've downloaded and installed PS CS3 trial and given it a go but decided to stick with version 7 as it's still doing everything I need.
So when the trial period on CS3 has expired I've uninstalled it but now Photoshop 7 won't run. I get this message a few seconds after I click on the PS icon . ..
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred due to a program error. Photoshop will now exit"
I've reinstalled PS7 several times to no avail.
Since I installed the CS3 trial I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard - maybe this is the cause!
Any idea's how I can get PS7 working again?
Cheers
steve

Photoshop 7 will not run under Leopard...

Can't install Photoshop CS3 Trial on Windows

Hey, I downloaded the trial version of CS3 the other day, wanting to try it out and see what it's like, I got to the end of the installation and it says
"A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or reinstalling the software fixes this problem. Otherwise, click Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial number to begin using the product without trial."
I'd rather not buy the software just yet, just want to try it out. I know CS3 is a little out-dated but due to pc requirements, I'm not able to run CS4 on my laptop, also I'm used to using CS3 as I used to use it on an old computer but for some reason it won't work on my laptop.
I've tried reinstalling it, I've also tried to restart my laptop and the program and none of these got it to work.
Is there anything else that can be done?
Thanks.

Photoshop CS3 Trial then Code problem

I downloaded the trial of Photoshop CS3 and it ran out. My college passed out Adobe Suite and I installed it. Now I can't run photoshop at all because it won't take my serial and won't be deleted so I can reinstall. I ran the suite disk and I can't uninstall Photoshop and it won't let me reinstall it.
Any help is much appreciated.

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Photoshop cs3 + windows vista + intuos 3

I am working with "photoshop cs3" "windows ultimate vista" and an "wacom intuos 3" tablet and I experience heavy lags while drawing like the brush-strokes don't quite follow my moves, and I have to wait for them to catch up.
When I open a large file and I try to apply the first brush stroke on my drawing the cursor screen disappears for a while and photoshop is not responding.
Then Photoshop comes back so the cursor and I can start to work. But as soon as I drag the page using the little Hand tool photoshop stops responding again for few more seconds and when it restarts I can hardly control the direction of my new brush strokes.
Apparently in order to restart the only remedy I found (by chance) is by toggling the layer visibility status (change a layer from visible to not and back to visible again). After this exercise I can draw in photoshop again! But of course same problems again as soon as I will use the hand tool and move on the screen again!!!
Any idea about what could be behind my problems!?
What should I check?
(These problems started after last week immediately after re installation of vista on my machine, I never had this problem with vista photoshop and intuos on that same machine before!)
Thanks
Mario

I have CS3, Vista Ultimate and an Intuos3 tablet. No lags or delays now. But I used to have them and many were reported on the Wacom Users Forum when Vista first came out. I can't remember now what the fix was - have a look on the Wacom Users' Forum. If you had it running ok on your previous Vista installation some software setting must have changed in the new installation. Things that may help are:
get latest Nvidia vga card drivers (if you have an Nvidia card); get the latest Wacom driver; Logitech Setpoint software conflicting - the latest is ok for me; disable/switch off the Vista Pen and Input device.
Sorry, I can't remember the fixes but they should be available if you dig around in the Wacom Users' Forum.

Problem installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 Trial

Photoshop cs3 Trial is not Working!

Okay, I've downloaded the cs3 30 days trial. After installation, i launched it and it said 'problem with trial...a problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for photoshop cs3.' What does this actually mean? What should i do?

Hi Kirill,
Could you please check the Photoshop version? In Photoshop, please go to the Help menu and select About Photoshop... In the dialog, it will say "Version" followed by the version #. The Reflow PS Plug-in is activated in Version 14.1.
If you have a lower version, such as Version 14.0, please close Photoshop, and open the Adobe Creative Cloud application and click on the "Apps" tab. If you see an Update for Photoshop there, please install it. If not, please quit Creative Cloud (select the "gear" icon in the upper right of the Creative Cloud and and choose Quit Creative Cloud). Then restart Creative Cloud, and hopefully the Update for Photoshop will be available.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please respond here and we'll look for another resolution. Sorry it's not working for you right away!

calibrating requires a hardware calibration utility. if you have an LCD monitor, make sure that the utility you get supports LCD calibration.
some names of hardware kits you can get include ColorVision Spyder/Spyder2 and Pantone Huey, but there are others out there as well.
Note that you may have installed updates via Windows Update that installed an ICC profile for your monitor, as this is a new thing with Vista. ICC profiles that are provided by a monitor manufacturers do not contain the same information as an ICC profile created by a calibration utility. to test if this is the problem, launch Photoshop and you might get a warning saying "The monitor profile 'profile name' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software." Clicking the "Ignore Profile" button will prevent Photoshop from using this profile and causing the discoloration. If you do not see this warning, open the PS preferences by clicking the 'Edit->Preferences..>General' menu option, click the "Reset All Warning Dialogs" button at the bottom, then restart Photoshop.

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

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 Trial Problems

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

Try the Adobe clean-up script from their site.

Can't Install Photoshop CS3 Trial

I began the setup process for photoshop cs3, and while installing it crashed. I tried to run the program, and it wouldnt load. I attempted to uninstall it through Add/Remove programs, and it would not work. I tried re-installing the program, but the setup program will not run. Nothing about this program will run/work correctly for me. If you have any ideas as to how I can uninstall/repair/re-install photoshop CS3, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Help finding Photoshop CS3 Trial package?

Photoshop CS3 (nor CS2) won't launch since CS3 install

Since installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium I can no longer open Photoshop. It repeatedly crashes on the launch window. For the sceptical, my CS3 Production Premium collection was all legitimately authorised and registered.
Of the other CS3 apps that installed (can't install Encore, Premiere or Soundbooth on PowerPC) they all open and run perfectly fine.
I uninstalled all CS3 and re-installed CS2. Now Photoshop CS2 won't open either (but everything else is still fine). Exactly the same problem, Photoshop crashes during the launch window.
What has CS3 changed to my system that prevents Photoshop opening and can I correct the issue? From searches on this subject Someone suggested repairing permissions before and after installing CS3. This had no effect.
Thank you for any help.
//-- edit- the crash seems to happen when 'Building TWAIN menu items' --//

You can try trashing and regenerating Photoshop preferences when you launch.
Hold down command/option/shift while launching Photoshop. You will be asked if you want to get rid of Photoshop settings. Choose yes.
See if this works; you may have to reset some of your Photoshop preferences afterward. I'm not sure why you can't install the other applications.
Also, it may have something to do with activation; did you activate your copy of CS3? You should be able to have CS3 and CS2 both running as far as activation is concerned, but are they on the same drive? This might be a problem if one version is trying to read the other's settings during launch.

32-bit Photoshop CS4 on Vista won't start

I'm having a problem starting the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4 running under Vista Home Premium. I installed the patch (11.0.1) but it didn't help.
The problem I've having is when I start the program it indicates it's searching for plug-ins. It does that for a while then stops responding. This occurs only on the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version works fine.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully resolved it?
Thanks.

In the "start in" field it says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\"
That's the same syntax used for the 64-bit version, which works.
I appreciate your help, but I don't think that's the issue either. Also, I uninstalled CS3. That didn't seem to help either.
