Problems installing cs3 on windows 7

Does CS3 install and work normal when installed on a windows 7 system? Some say it installed / worked just fine. Others that they had problems installing or getting it to run. Others that it depens on which windows 7 system you have. Etc. etc.
What do I have to take into account when installing cs3 on a windows 7 machine? I know it's not designed for windows 7 but I rather use cs3 then cs4.

No one yet. I'm thinking about bying a laptop which has windows 7 already installed (I think home edition), but googling I found various topics of people having trouble getting cs3 master collection to work (programs of master collection not being installed, error messages about missing windows files etc, etc.). Which version of windows 7 should I have to make cs3/cs4 work? Or should I be able to install cs3/4 on any windows 7 computer without any problems? Or should I do anything specific before installing?
I'm a little worried that I won't be able to use cs3 (which I much rather use than cs4) when I buy a new computer with windows 7.

How do I re-install cs3 on Windows 8?

I uninstalled cs3 on Windows 8 because an error came up when I tried to open the program. It said to uninstall the program and then re-install it. Now I can't re-install it on windows 8. Error keeps occurring saying "Component install failed" for both cs3 and shared components. How do I re-install cs3 on Windows 8?

uninstall anything cs3 that still shows as being installed, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall.

CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
directly for serial number issues.

Problem Installing 817 on Windows 2000 with RAID Array

I am having a problem installing Oracle under windows 2000 which has 2 x 60 GB discs configured in RAID array. When I run the setup program the cursor goes busy for about 10 seconds and returns back to normal and nothing happens !. No errors nothing.
However when I run the Object Manager in the ods_preinstall directory it starts but in the log file I get the following error message:-
02/14/02 09:46:18 : (892) : Error in IO Control call for disk PhysicalDrive0 (Error 21)
02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : The count = 28
02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : The signature is 0x443aa035
02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : Error: First Partition of the disk must be an extended disk
02/14/02 09:46:19 : (892) : Found the partition: 7
Any idea whats happening....? Has anyone seen this before. Do I need to do something special in teh RAID..?
TIA
Martin

Here are some possible solutions:
1. The installation notes state that you must be logged on as Administrator to be able to install 9i. Are you logged on as the Administrator? Being logged on as user01 with Administrator priviledges isn't the same as Administrator.
2. Is the disk full? If I remember my installation correctly, I needed 3 times the size of the files. The documentation will tell you how much space you need.
Hope these two questions help

Michael

Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank

Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank. I really need to install this since I have only 1 PC and i just bought the new iPhone 6.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Probleme mit CS3 nach Windows updates

Hallo,
Mein CS3 war registriert und lief sauber. Nach dem in den letzten Tagen zig Updates von Widows kamen und installiert wurden, will CS3 eine neue Registrierung.
Aber wenn man online erneut registrieren klickt, passiert nichts.
Im meinem Account bin ich angemeldet.
Was tun, weiß jemand Rat?
Beerchen

Danke für die Antwort.
So ganz genau kann ich es nicht nachvollziehen. Aber nachdem ich das Programm
mit dem Task-Manager geschlossen habe, anders wollte es nicht.
Und das Programm neu geöffnet habe hat es wieder funktioniert. Möglicherweise
war mein PC ein wenig Durcheinander durch die 40 updates, obwohl ich mehrere
Neustarts gemacht hatte.
Vielen Dank für die Hilfe.
Ich hätte aber noch ein 2. Problem.
Mein Haupt-PC, ich habe 2, hat seinen Geist aufgegeben und ich würde gerne diese
verlohrene Lizenz für mein Laptop nehmen, habe aber keine Ahnung wie.
Wissen Sie wie ich die Lizenz deaktivieren kann und für mein Labtop aktivieren?
Danke und schöne Feiertage,
Dotthy

Can't install CS3 on Windows 7

I know there's a similar discussion in this section, but I'm having slightly different issues with my version. I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but I bought my copy of CS3 (Design Premium) used via Amazon.
There are a couple different things going on. First, while I understand that this software takes up a lot of space and will require some time to install, mine is taking an exceedingly long time. I've left the computer running for hours - as in 5 or 6 or more. The place it gets stuck is the installation progress window - those progress bars do not move the entire time, and I also notice the disk drive stops making noise, so absolutely nothing gets installed and no progress toward installation happens.
Also, I did have CS3 on the computer previously as a trial version (I did not enter a serial number) and uninstalled it once the trial ended, so I still have the downloaded setup/installer and I tried using that, assuming I can just enter the serial number included in the purchased version. I get told the serial number is invalid...though that may be because the previous version was the full suite and I just kept a couple programs. When I installed CS3 that last time, I don't even think it took an hour to install (I only installed Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash). So I have no clue why it won't install now. Note I uninstalled the old version before trying to install the new one, mostly because I couldn't run any of the programs.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The computer is not very old - only about 4 months old, no viruses, not used much, so there shouldn't be anything going on to interfere with installation. Also, I did get CS3 for Windows, so the OS is not the issue either. Is the fact that my version is pre-owned a potential cause for problems? Like maybe the previous owner never deactivated the software before selling it? Are the previous version and current version somehow conflicting with one another despite uinstalling?

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, try again. and if you bought it used, you will have to run a Transfer an Adobe product license to handle activations properly.

Problems installing Safari in Windows 7

Windows 7
Intel Q6600
4 GB DDR2
Avira AntiVir Personal
I am logged on as an Administrator. I downloaded the Windows version of Safari 4.
When I try to install it partway through it stops with this error message:
"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ESET. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator."
I tried the right-click option to run the setup file as Administrator. Same results.
I ran a Administrator Command Prompt and tried it that way. The same error message appears.

Do I need to install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

I am replacing a graphic designer's Windows Vista laptop with a Dell Precision T5500 desktop. Do I need to uninstall CS3 from the laptop and decommission the serial number? Then do I need to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing the CS5 upgrade? I was told I needed to decommission the installation, but I don't remember having to do that with other installations. Thanks in advance!

You should definetly deactivate any software before uninstalling. But you don't have to install CS3 in order to install CS5. Just have the serial number handy for verification. That said, depending upon the user's needs, you might want to leave CS3 available.
