Recently reloaded Adobe Acrobat/CS3 on Windows 8- will not work with printer

I recently trashed my old laptop and reloaded Cs3 on the new one with Windows8. When I open Adobe Acrobat, it will not allow me to "Create from Scanner" because it does not allow me to "Select a Device".
Even though I can print to the same device just fine in Illustrator or Photoshop, Acrobat does not seem to recognize the device.
According to Adobe Customer Care (HA!) the issue is not the activation because it shows I am already activated.
During the initial process of reinstalling CS3, it did ask me to insert my copy of Windows, which I skipped, because this new computer/laptop came pre-loaded and I don't have a disk, per-se.

Most likely an unresolvable compatibility issue. CS3 comes from a time where Win 8 couldn't even be dreamed of, after all. As suggested, update your printer driver and check the permissions on the device, but that's as good as it may get.

  • TS1538 Ipod Classic will not work with Windows 8. Is there a fix?

    Itunes will not work with Windows 8. I have the latest version of itunes!
    When will the fix be available?
    When I try to Sync my ipod, nothing happens.

    Hi,
    You can download the latest official Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You may also have to install [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html Java] (choose either Windows x86 Offline or Windows x86 Online), and [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash] (choose the Firefox version and also deselect extras).
    For the Firefox metro version, please see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Windows_8_Integration#Elm_Nightly_Builds this]. You can install and use it along with the other version.

  • I have recently switched ISPs and have anew e-mail address but ThunderBird will not work with this address. Have tried tech staff with Bell to no avail

    My old e-mail address was SHAW XXXXX.and worked very well with Thunder Bird mail. I recently switched to new ISP Bell and my new address is XXXXXX However with several attempts with techs ,Thunder Bird will not work with my new ISP. I had to start using Outlook.com and Outlook Express 6 for e-mail,but I really liked Thunder Bird and have numerous e-mails stored in it that I cannot import.
    Outlook Express 6 is outdated and because I am running Windows XP it will not give me a newer version.I find Outlook.com confusing to me. Can you help

  • I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success.

    I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success. Please help!

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • HDX 9010nr, Radeon 2600 will not work with WIndows 7

    Apparently, HP is not going to support the HDX 9010nr for Windows 7.  That's the bad news, the good news is that it "mostly" works. 
    The only big issue is that the display driver stops every few minutes and then restarts.  So you sit there for thirty seconds while the machine recovers.  But, it doesn’t support a second screen; and worse, every 10th time the video driver crashes; it locks up the whole machine. 
     ATI has a version of the Radeon 2600 software that worked with the Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7, but it will not work with the shipped version of Windows 7.  ATI recommends that you get a version from your hardware vendor.  Which brings me back to the first sentence.  HP isn't supporting the 9010nr. 
    The question is do any of the "supported" HP laptops have the ATI Radeon 2600?  If so, might that work on the HDX 9010nr? 
    This question was solved.

    Updating the BIOS solved this problem.

  • Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

    I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
    The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
    services but instead I got cut off.
    At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

    Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum.  Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:
    MGA
    Diagnostic Report:
    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
    One
    Issue Per Thread:
    Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
    don't post your issue in another person's thread). 
    It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

    That is correct. Adobe Reader is intended for viewing PDF files, not for playing games. Perhaps you are thinking of Adobe Flash Player?

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 for my windows vista operating system. I purchased a canon 7 D some yrs ago no problem. I purchased canon 7D mk 11 in December 2014. The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

  • Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

    While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

    '''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
    Solution:
    I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
    Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
    After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.
