Photoshop CS3 Vista 64bit Activation

Im trying to activate my photoshop CS3 (came in a box) and when I try to activate it online it fails epically and tells me error code 194:13 and when I try to do the phone activation, it tells me that my activation number is incorrect, any ideas?

194:13 is a rather high number that is not covered under "for technical reasons", so chances are good you have fallen victim to pirated software... Well, anyway, only phone support can help you with such stuff.

Photoshop CS3 Volume License Activation

Hey guys,
We are trying to activate Photoshop CS3 volume license we have but getting this message. How can we get it activated? This is a 43 user license we have, maybe 10 people here have it. We can't deactivate them because it's a volume license. We need Photoshop CS3 for Blu-ray authoring still, but have lots of people here on Creative Cloud 2014.
Is there still even a website to manage our CS3 volume license? I don't know of any way to do this. Adobe Creative Cloud phone support weren't able to help. The alternative activation via phone, when I called, just said to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/activation, which wasn't any help since AT ALL.

I have the following link to offer but I do not know if it leads to a solution for you...

Photoshop CS3 - Vista | slow file opening

Hello NG,
i dont know the source for this problem, but i think after the last Vista Update Photoshop needs such a lot of time to work and also to open files.
I have reinstall the new update of Photoshop from adobe.com.......but nothing...
Is there a known thing?
Thank´s and greetings from Germany
Mike

> Could too many fonts installed caused this?
No, but a bad font might. And many people who think they have too many fonts have acquired them free over the Internet, and some of these DO have problems that may affect Photoshop. You will have to remove all the non-system fonts, and then start adding them slowly, testing with each addition to make sure a bad font is not in the list.

Photoshop (CS3 - Vista Ultimate) layer effects issues

I am running a Vista PC with 4GB RAM and other complimentarily high spec hardware.
I am having trouble when adding 'stroke' effects to layers. At times I end up with horrendous colour-of-the-stoke spots/patches all over my layer. I have boild the issue down to the following reason: there are small one-pixelish or larger 'holes' in the layer and therefore the stroke is placed around these 'holes'. If the stroke is placed 'inside' then the spots/patches will appear but when the stroke is placed on the 'outside' then the spots/patches do not appear.
This issue happens pretty much all the time when stretching and distorting and warping a layer or (in particular) when adding, for example, white space to a layer and then popping a stroke onto it.
I do not seem to remember it happening in the past - since a year past (mid-2007) - but seems to be happening to an increasing degree recently. I never noticed it happening before using CS3.

How do I activate old version of Photoshop CS3 as it is not supported over the phone and website notes are not helping...? I need a human being to resolve this

I am trying to activate an old version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 but internet activation is not working and the notes on the page online are not helping either. I need a person to assist me.

You need to deal with Adobe for you problem this is an Adobe Photoshop User forum site not part of Adobe support users here do not have access to Adobe activation servers and database. You need to get someone at Adobe to help. Adobe support is not what it should be. Good luck.

Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

Nikon encrypts RAW file data
ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
<IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

Why Does CS3 load into Program Files (x86) in Vista 64bit

I built a computer with Vista 64bit. All my CS3 files loaded into Prpogram Files (x86). Doesn't that mean they will only run at 32bit?

PrPro will probably not be 64-bit, until CS5, if then. Now, only Photoshop CS4 is a 64-bit app.
Judging from some of the questions in the recent Adobe poll, it appears that 64-bit for PrPro is at least a consideration.

Photoshop CS3 64Bit Rechner

Hallo Adobe,
keine Ahnung, ob ich hier richtig bin.
Habe nun endlich das Photoshop CS3 in meinen Händen, um es meinem neuen Rechner einzupflanzen. Leider ist diese Version aber nur bis Vista 32Bit zugelassen.
Nun habe ich einen 64Bit-Rechner und auch ein 64Bit Betriebssystem.
Wann kommt Photoshop CS3 ????????
Es kann ja nicht sein, dass Adobe mit der Entwicklung wartet, bis es genügend Anwender (pot. Kunden) gibt, die ein 64Bit-System haben.
Da stellt sich mir nähmlich die Frage: Warum soll ich ein 64Bit-System aufsetzen, wenn es keine Software gibt?

Dies ist ein allgemeines Problem ! Die Hardwarehersteller sind in der Regel immer ein Jahr schneller als die Entwickler mit ihrer Software, da hilft es nur wenn man mal darauf verzichtet immer das neuste haben zu wollen (dabei spart man dann auch noch eine menge Geld). Meist sind sogar die Treiber, welche mit der neu entwickelten Hardware rausgegeben werden, ebenfalls noch in einem ungenuegendem Entwicklungstand.

Photoshop CS3 - Program error. Crashes when working off active desktop

Unprovoked my version of photoshop CS3 has suddenly started to crash whenever I click off the active workspace (for example clicking on my desktop or moving into the dock).
After force quitting the application I can open photoshop again and continue working until I move onto another application or select any function outside photoshop. Then it crashes again.
Tried reinstalling but with no improvement.

lots of memory.
Thanks.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

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.

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

Hello everyone,
I was having the same issue:
"Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
4. Event Viewer
5. Application
You will see something like this:
Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
"Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

Cannot reinstall photoshop cs3 extended on vista

I bought Photoshop PS3 Extended 4/26/07 and have been running it on a Vista PC. I tried to launch it in 4/2011, but it said something about the license not working and to uninstall and re-install.
I uninstalled and have been trying ever since to reinstall. I do install with “Run as Administrator”.
For 8 weeks, I battled with this error from the Event Viewer: Product: Adobe Fonts All -- Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.
I run the uninstall program after each try, as PS comes up in my program list, but fails to install shared components and the PS3 program.
After trying all the advice from Adobe & Vista support sites (including Adobe's Doc IDs KB401401, KB401488, KB401501, KB402151), I thought it was AGaramondPro-Italic.otf, but no matter how I tried (copying it from my Encore, downloading a new copy, deleting it all together) it wouldn't work. All those support sites said to contact Adobe, but Adobe no longer supports CS3. Finally I installed the trial of Photoshop CS5 and it took care of the font problem.
However, it STILL won't re-install. Event Viewer no longer shows any errors, but when I check the Information messages and the photoshop log files, I see that about 1/3 of the components are not installing, but say: "Result: 1610, Text: The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel."
Another part of the installation log is: ADOBE_SETUP=1 MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable PROPERTY_FILE="C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Temp\adbD68C.tmp" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=poms 1: 0 2: 0 3: 1252 1: 0 2: 0 3: 0 1: PDF Settings This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
Again, I have tried the adobe clean up script, searching the registry (though I haven't found any help for registry keys specific to CS3 Extended), installed from my hard drive, tried with UAC on and off (mostly off!), have virus scan turned off, etc.
I've spent countless hours on this and am so frustrated that I can't put my installation disc in and have it just install.

Well, reads/copies of data from CDs sometimes do get errors.
I wrote a small command line tool a long while ago that will read every file in every folder under a given starting point and calculate a CRC value. I sometimes use this to check to see if everything is has been copied properly from a CD to a hard drive.
I have a download of Photoshop CS3 that I just ran the tool on, starting with the folder containing the Setup.exe for Photoshop.

Ned, thanks for responding. Internet access is not the problem, I will have a tower computer connected to Comcast.
Isolating the laptop from the internet is the issue.
