Three Creative Suite Versions slowing down my machine

Hi All,
I have licensed CS1, CS2 and CS5 in my machine here in the office. CS1 is the first copy that we have, then we bought CS2 several years back. Then last year, we upgraded it to CS5. Suddenly, I'm exerpeicing low memory issues/errors with my machine and one of the top "culprits" is my Adobe CS versions.
I'm only using CS5 but I still have installed in my machine the previous versions of CS. Is it safe to uninstall CS1 and CS2 so I can only use CS5? I'm not sure if I can still use CS5 without the two previous versions cos CS2 and CS5 are upgrades from CS1.
Please help me with this issue. Our IT can't help me either cos it's a purchased license by our team so they don't know anything about this.
I tried looking for solutions in KB but there are no solutions about low memory or uninstallation of old CS versions.
I appreciate help from Adobe support team on this. I'm in dire need of help. We're having a launch soon and my machine's about to crash.
Thanks.
Regards,
I wonder why my name is anchorChar. I can't remember naming myself as such.

I'm afraid you're not providing enough info to make any sense of this. It's extremely unlikely that this is in any way related to the odler suites, but rather an issue with CS5's various services and/or possible hardware and driver compatibilty issues in individual programs. Many users run different versions of Adobe software without issues, so whatever it is, it's quite specific to your system. Also it would perhaps help, if you could tell us what exactly you are doing when you get these errors/ crashes....

    One last question ( You are so knowledgeable GMAC)
    Region 2 Pal DVDs
    There are some foreign movies I have been wanting to watch, but they are not available in NTSC Region 1 format. I just read that computers are region agnostic and should be able to play a DVD from any region. Then I read conflicting reports- desktop vs laptop, newer versions of Windows Media, etc. It would be wonderful to be able to watch PAL 2 DVD's from Europe/ with English subtitles on my Lenovo. (I know my DVD player can't handle it.) The experts on this forum should know better than anyone what my Lenovo can do. Some of these DVD's are kind of expensive. I don't want to buy, until I know for sure that I can play them. Any thoughts? Can my Lenovo handle it?
    Thank You!

  • Outlook 2010 - User tends to open many emails at a go but this may slow down the machine.

    Hi,
    My user tends to have this work habit of opening 8-10 emails at one go. She view this way of working as more efficient and faster. But this means that if outlook crashed, all the emails will be close as well, and this way of working tends to slow down the
    machine.
    Is there any way Outlook can users to open multiple emails without hording CPU page milage?
    Thank you.

    Hi Josh,
    Slow Outlook can be also harmful for your database and there are numbers of factor which slow down the MS-Outlook like:
    * Third Party Plug-ins
    * Slow internet connection
    * Antivirus/ Firewall Programs
    * Corruption or Error within Outlook
    So always try to open Microsoft Outlook in safe mode whenever you stuck in such problems. 
    How to optimize Outlook performance:
    * By Disabling add-ins
    * Check default account settings
    * Disabling Scanning programs
    * Scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool)
    For more brief about Outlook disturbance and solutions:

  • The monitor is slowing down  the machine, 23inch

    The monitor seems to be slowing down the machine. This is the reason we upgraded from a dual G4. When we work on 16 bit images it goes very very slow, but not if I change to a CRT monitor. What do we need to upgrade? Add another 2 gigs of ram for a total of 4 or get a 512mb video card.
    Thanks

    I can tell you now, it's not your display that causing the problem. I have a Mac mini driving a 24" display (1920 x 1200 resolution) that has the Intel integrated GMA950 graphics processor with 64MB system memory which is the lowest of the low and it drives it just fine.
    Most likely you have a RAM problem as in you don't have enough of it. If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS2 I would suggest a minimum of 2GB RAM with an aim for 4GB RAM.

  • Creative Suite version 1, Vista 64 bit?  Is this possible?

    Can the first version of Creative Suite be installed on vista 64 bit?  If so, how?
    Thanks.

    You can try, but I wouldn't count on flawless performance. The earliest version of Creative Suite that is Vista (32 or 64 bit) compatible is CS3.
    In other words....you're on your own. CS is also the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing and right now you can save $200.

  • Activating old Creative Suite version

    I'm trying to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium on the original xp system it had been on until replacing the hard drive. Installation went fine. Activation is not. Online activation didn't work. Phone activation is discontinued. Online chat with adobe tech could only send me here. My serial # is [removed]. My email is [removed]. I still have the original box and documentation, and may even be able to find the original receipt if helpful.

    My best guess is 1.1 because there is no number on the box or the cd. BTW -
    the adobe tech told me to post the serial number - when I asked if that was
    wise, she repeated it, along with my email address. (?!?)

  • 7.1.2 version slows down iOS and disabling Apps

    I update my iphone 5c to 7.1.2 ios without any second thought, and to my dismay - The whole system seems to slow down afterwards.
    Furthermore, I discover that 2 very important apps are not functioning anymore:
    1. Provision CAM: does not open at all!  It's only shows error-"Network Error"
         Uninstalling and reinstalling it did not helped.
    2. Waze : screen shuts downs during navigation within 1 minute.
    This is what I discovered so far, maybe there are problems in other Apps as well.
    I hope you'll take notice in those disruptions and fix it till your next update.

    Just so you are aware no one here works for Apple as we are just a volunteer user to user support group. We have no input on what goes into updates.

  • Will Lion speed up or slow down my machine?

    My Macbook has been upgraded to have 4GB of RAM a while ago and has been running fairly well for a long time.
    However, recently when too much is 'going on', rending out of AE and looking on the net, the system crashes and relogs me in! Very frustrating. This keeps happening and my Mac is now a lot slower then it used to be!
    How do I fix this? I'm wondering if installing Lion will help?
    Also, will FCP and Sony Clip Browser work OK with this software?
    SPEC:
    Macbook Pro
    2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
    Thanks

    Aloha Linc. I just read an old response you posted about adding Lion before fixing the "misconfiguration". I just posted a question thought you might be able to help. I have a Mac osx snow leapard, version 10.6.8, processor 3.06 GHz, memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    It is 4yrs old and is going slow. Due to? age, solar power, wifi service, or life in the jungle. Do I need to do some kind of reg. maintenance?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • Creative Suite Version Number

    I have a problem with the version number after an update. To give an exemple, there was an upgrade with inDesign (CC and CS6) to day. If you look at indesign CC the version is 9.0.0.244 the date modified is 2013-06-18. I think the date modified should be today or few days before. In About it says version 9.0 and that all. No where that I know the latest version is indicated. The point is to make sure that the latest version has been installed.
    There is another potential problem with CS6. I have a folder each for CC, CS6, and CS5. I would expect any upgrade to go in the appropriate folder. Upgrade for CC goes mostly in their place as I have that folder specified in Creative Cloud preferences but updates to CS6 go in the application and you have to move them by hand.

    Hi etienneegrosjean,
    In order to check the latest version of InDesign(including dot version), you need to Ctrl(Windows)/Command(Mac)+Click on Help>About InDesign.
    It will show you the update version(9.0.0.244).

  • Creative Suite versions higher that 6

    Can you confirm that there will NOT be a CS 6.5 or 7 for downloading and that all future upgrades will be for the Creative Cloud only?

    Yes.
