Please Help --PS CS3

Guys asking for help from Adobe does not work and they are idiots telling me they cant help me, no matter what I do.
that is not the point I came begging for help. I understand that once a trial runs out you can not re-install the problem=
I instal trial successfully. I try playing bioshock which I had recently install, and it crashes giving me videocard errors. I try to fix the issue but further screw up my computer. I try system restore and video problems are fixed, but photoshop which i had just installed is gone (i knew this would happen) somehow the file is still in my add or remove programs, and i cannot uninstall it. i try installing the setup again, and after it gets past "initializing" it dissapears. i suppose this is because i am not allowed to reinstall. I am begging for help is there anyway i can go back to where i was at the trial, i can not even consider buying it because of this...adobe sucks and i just need some help

Download and run the
Adobe CS3Clean Script. It was developed to deal with problems relating to removal of the beta version, but it also can be used to remove all traces of the trial or paid version. It will not, however, remove the code in the boot sector that limits you to a single 30-day run of the trial. And, as the download page states, "It is important you read and carefully follow the instructions included with the download."
I would suggest that if you have other Adobe products that are activated, you should deactivate them before running the script; you may need to reinstall and reactivate them.

  • Please help- Fireworks CS3 popup menu displaying wrong positions on live page

    Greetings all,
    I am new to Fireworks and my knowledge of html and dreamweaver is pretty basic, So i am learning as I go here. My problem is this: I have created a popup menu for the site http://www.theatricalprojections.com I used Fireworks to edit a .png and position the menus and links that I want. I had everything set up the way I wanted it to look except that when I published the code, the menus are showing up in the wrong postions on the live site, while it works fine when I preview it locally. You'll notice that the menu popping up for the word "consoles" isn't next to the word where it should be.
    I exported the png to an htm file. I then copied this code and I had to paste it into a box in the Able Commerce system we have for managing the site. I suspect the fact that I am insterting the code into a box within this software makes things different though I really have no idea.
    Please help me!
    Ill be glad to post any other info to make this isse more clear
    Jonny

    the design will stay, but thank you. When I left work I uploaded the old version that had menus aligned correctly. right now the new one is up and the some of the menus are way of out place I've been trying to fix this and I have no Idea what to do!

  • Please help installing CS3

    I had a working demo version of CS3 on my laptop, this was uninstalled with no errors, when it expired my company purchased a full copy, now when I try to install it only the sub applications load not the actual CS3, the installation bar shows installing shared applications and at the end it says shared apps installed but CS3 failed with a red cross.
    Nothing has changed on my laptop since it was last working
    Running Windows XP SP3
    On a HP Elitebook 8440p
    Plenty of memory and storage space
    I have also tried to install a demo version again and get the exact same problem
    Please can someone help as I need this for my work, my own help desk can not come up with a solution apart from telling me they can try a re-build of my laptop, I think not...
    I have tried:-
    Creating a new local admin user and installing the app, same problem
    Checked the directory in c:\programe files after uninstalling and it is empty
    Re-installed in a new folder directly off of the root, same problem
    Started the service FLEXnet Licensing Service and re-installed the app, same problem
    Now at my wits end and my workload is at roof level.

  • Reinstallation problem! Please help! CS3

    Hi, I'm using Windows Vista. My laptop had something wrong with it so I brought it in the Best Buy, who fixed it for me. I got it back, tried to run CS3, I got an error message saying I couldn't run it, and that I had to reinstall it. So I got my disc out, reinstalled it. (i removed it from my computer completely first) The installation window came up, as well as Adobe Play, whatever that is. The Shared Components reinstalled, but not my CS3. Someone help, please!

    read the instructions.
    Using the new CS3Clean Script
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402767&sliceId=2
    you might have to run it a couple of times at increasing levels.
    again, READ first...
    then note the tip at the bottom:
    >Start out at Level 2 and advance to Level 3 only if you still have issues installing your CS3 applications. Running this script removes shared components created during the installation of CS3 applications.
    then try to reinstall.

  • Please help -- Encore CS3 crashes often on a new PC

    Read below the typical problem report from Vista problem history -- it's French to me. The whole report would not fit here. Have had numerous crashes in Encore, and few times in Bridge, Premiere and After Effects. The programs just "stopped working" at a specific point without an explanation. Eventually I would work around it by clearing from the project the media file I was working on and re-importing it. Yesterday, I uninstalled and re-installed Encore to no benefit.
    I am on a new PC less than 2 months old, so I can't tell if it's the problem. Most of my problems involve CS3 applications, but this computer has been pretty shaky since I got it. Performance seems slow for such a stacked computer, HP Pavilion d5000t Intel core 2 quad 2.66 with 8 GB RAM Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 1 TB SATA RAID O. Not quite a workstation, but I shouldn't be having slow performance working with MiniDV not HD video.
    Please direct me to some kind of troubleshooting plan. I was having problems with an external SATA Buffalo drive with USB 2 and Firewire 800. Now I'm doing everything and storing everything on the 1 TB main system drive.

  • Please help with CS3 -shobat

    I would like to know where I can get help regarding reinstalling Photoshop CS3.  I bought Photoshop a long time ago when it was on a disk.  I kept upgrading it until I had upgraded it to CS3.  Recently my computer crashed that had the Photoshop CS3 on it.  I'm trying to get the Photoshop CS3 on my new computer, but it wants the serial # of the original program, but it DOES NOT list the photoshop 3 or photoshop 4 that I bougt years ago.  I registered Photoshop CS3 so it should be on file that I own it.  Can anyone tell me where I can get help with this.  CS3 cost me a lot of money and I like using it. 

    You might be out of luck since Adobe no longer provides support for CS3.  The only hope you might have is to contact Adobe Support by chat or by phone and explain to them your scenario and hope that you get someone who is willing to work a bit and see what they can do to help you thru.

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes all the time - Please help!

    Hello
    I didn't find any answer in the forum.
    I work with Photoshop CS3 Version 10.0.1. on Mac Powerbook 10.4.11.
    Photoshop quits all the time, no work possible anymore. It quits when I want to open a file or when I want to safe an new file (message PS unexpectedly quite).
    The trouble (maybe - actually I am not sure) may started after I updated all Adobe program. There were some messages popping up that not everything was updated properly.
    Anyway I reinstalled Photoshop 3 times and CS3 completely 2 times and the last time I run the clean up program as well. No change.
    Please help! Thank you very much.
    Rosa

    Rosa,
    >So, you are also suggesting that I don't upgrade but install new.
    NEVER, ever use the "upgrade" option.
    Rather, do an "Archive and Install".
    >What do I have to take care of beside of making a backup from everything?
    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.

  • Please help! - My computer crashed and I need help reinstalling my CS3 software

    Please help!  My computer crashed and now I am trying to reistall my CS3 software.  I'm receiving Unable to Install errors for all of the programs in the Suite except the Acrobat 8 Professional.  Can someone please help me?  I cannot afford to upgrade, but need this software to do freelance work.  I own the software and serial number but Adobe will not support me as it is an older version.

    I downloaded and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool.  It showed no files to remove, but still said it was successful.  I then tried reinstalling the entire suite.  Acrobat 8 Professional was the only program that installed.  All other programs gave me a componant failed error.  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated?!
    Thanks

  • Please help me!  Illustrator CS3 can't maintain correct size when saving to PDF!

    Hi - please help me!
    We run a Mac with CS3 Suite to design our signs for print & vinyl cut.
    Most of our files are 50 - 120 cms wide & high, some larger.
    If I create a document in Illustrator for exapmle of 100 cms x 100cms, put some artwork (vector) inside, and save it as a high res PDF, then close the file and open the PDF in illustrator, you can gaurentee that the dimensions will have changed by a fraction of a mm.  If working with bigger artwork it can be out but up to half a mil.  Typically a file could become say 58.687cm instead of 59cm.
    Anyone know why the heck this does that??
    It's the artwork & the artboard.
    Thanks,
    Henoch

    All of AI's math is based on points and inches and depending on DPI settings, there may be rounding errors with otehr unit systems. Perfectly normal. Has been forever that way. you may try to place an empty dummy frame around the entire artwork to enforce a specific artboard/ crop board size. Sometimes helps, but not always...

  • CS3 Installation Problem, please help!

    Hi there ive been trying to install Photoshop CS3 and having great difficulty, it will only install the shared components and nothing else, Ive gone through all the tutorials on the Adobe help pages and still not had any luck, I've tried looking through the log and the only thing I could come across is the following:
    [    5028] Sat Apr 11 00:41:19 2009 ERROR
    Default installation language not valid, falling back to first supported language.
    [    5028] Sat Apr 11 00:41:19 2009 DEBUG
    couldn't find any info on the error code or anything, ive uploaded my installation log here:
    http://www.2shared.com/file/5313464/86af2f33/Adobe_Photoshop_CS3_10.html
    please help! I am using windows Vista but not sure if its 32 or 64

    just tried that and still does not want to work, really just does not want to install for some reason!
    I did try this and it wouldnt let me allow inhertible permissions to the admin on Solution 11 of this: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401401 this part here:
    Select both "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" and "Reset permissions on all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions," on the Permissions tab.
    Click OK in the "Advanced Security Settings" dialog box. Windows will now reset the permissions for each child object to correspond with its parent.
    If you can't change permissions or rename that key, then contact Microsoft or your hardware vendor for assistance.
    not sure if that has something to do with it?
    appart from that i'm completly out of ideas, very frustrating as i have been trying for days to get this to install! any more suggestions are welcome
