Thumbs Up To Upgrading To CS3 and Windows Vista

Hi Folks,
After several years of using Dreamweaver 8 on my antiquated,
10-year old, 700MZ DELL (upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP),
I finally bought a new HP with Windows Vista. Then I upgraded from
DW8 to CS3 ($199) and couldn't be happier. I used to have the old
XP "login" issue (remembering the login) and was never able to
resolve it, despite using the recommened fix I found here, so it
was something I just lived with.
But that's all behind me now. This new DW works great with
Vista and so far, I have no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to
learning more about CS3 and all it's features.
I'm a total novice... (you can tell by viewing my website:
LBIBeachRentals.com ... LOL), but if I can do it, anyone can. Many
thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
particularly Peggy and Murray from OC.

to have the old version of dreamweaver 8 uploaded before I can use
the CS3 or CS4 version? Or, is the CS3 or CS4 a total package with
the old program being obsolete? I appreciate your answer!
I did much the same recently - (upgrade) from MX to CS3. I
was using a boxed set but all I needed were the qualifying serial
numbers of two MX programs for an upgrade. The applications were
self standing and I never had to install the old ones.
I would suggest turning the Vista Aero interface off -
particularly if you also have Fireworks - after that it is great.

  • CS3 and windows 7.

    I have cs3 and windows 7 64 bit.  I was able to run cs3 in xp, but everytime I try 7 it hangs up right before it asks for my serial number.  The installation is perfect, everything goes great, but when I open cs3 it opens up a blank cs3 window, and the curser timer starts and that is all.  when I click anywhere it says "not responding".
    I have heard of this before in this forum... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/377888
    The guy was running vista and got it to work through this.... http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3750
    But I am running windows 7 and vista doesnt work on here, is there a license thing for windows 7?
    I have been looking for weeks!!!!
    I reformated my pc twice!
    Someone PLEASE help.
    Thank you.

    Little confused here. How can CS3 install perfect when the serial number is not installed?
    When you install PS CS3 on Windows 7 you have to install the software itself as Admin. Put the disk in but don't install. Choose explore the disk or open and then look for the PS CS3 folder. Open the folder and locate the .exe file. Right click on the .exe file and select run as Admin.
    Before you do the install ensure windows defender is turned off. Ensure any anti-virus is not running. If adobe reader is installed remove it. ensure no other adobe product is running in the background.
    I do not have CS3 installe but when CS4 is installed on windows 7 it will hang around 90 percent complete and will take 10 to 15 mins to finish. Might not be true for CS3 though....
    After install, reboot computer.
    After reboot, go to start, all programs and right click on PS CS3. Choose properties, compatibility, and check run as Admin. Hit apply then ok to close.
    Click on PS CS3 to see if it will start. If it runs update to 10.0.1
    Now if you have any problems running CS3 after all this right click on PS CS3, properties, compatibility, and check run this program in compatibility mode for: Choose Vista SP2. If you have display problems then go back to this tab and check disable visual themes and also check Disable desktop composition.
    Hudechrome, a regular poster on here, has installed CS3 on Windows 7 before so maybe he might chime in with his words of wisdom (or something like that). I am not sure if he did what i wrote to install CS3 on windows 7. I error on a caution side of things.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 8 Issues

    I have Dreamwever CS3 and Windows 8 and I keep getting errors that can only be resolved by closing down DW and losing the work I have processed so far. I happens mostly when I use extentions such as Webassaist Data Bridge. I have visited their forum but they advised me to checkout you trouble shooting service.
    Please advise
    tonytanner257

    Hi,
    If Dreamweaver is working fine without the extensions, I am not sure if we should be troubleshooting Dreamweaver. Just to be sure, Windows 8 is not a supported version for Dreamweaver CS3. It could possibly work, but wouldn't have been tested on Windows 8 as Adobe supports only the previous two versions of any software.
    This is my best answer. You could wait for other experts for their opinion.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade and Windows Vista

    I own Photoshop CS5 and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit platform. Can I upgrade to CS6 ? Your upgrade ad and recent published info says that only platforms using Windows XP or Windows 7 are upgradable. What happened to Windows Vista ?

    It works on Vista, even if it is not officialyl supported. Just be prepared that things like OpenGL support, tablet drivers etc. may act funny and some features may not work at all.

  • 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.

  • Problems with iTunes Cover Flow and Windows Vista

    I just recently upgraded my computer to Windows Vista Home Premium (32-Bit). I preformed a clean install and every program I have tried so far (Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Age of Empires 3, Halo: Combat Evolved, Microsoft Office XP, etc.) have worked fine, however, iTunes is having some problems (7.4.1.2). First, cover flow does not work right. It can get it to run, but it is super slow. It ran very smoothly on Windows XP, now on Vista it skips every over album cover and is very choppy. It seems like it is running at 3 FPS. Also, none of my videos will play in Quictime or iTunes. The strange thing is I can play the same videos in VLC and GOM and they work great. I just went to nVidia's web site and installed the latest drivers and my games runs fine so I don't think it is a driver issue but I am not sure.
    Any advice I would appreciate,
    Thanks

    Well - you're not alone. I've got a very high-end video card (nVidia 8600 GTS OC), and am running Windows Vista Ultimate. Every aspect of 3D acceleration works great with my machine (World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2142, Half Life 2, Counterstrike: Source, etc.), except iTunes/Quicktime. I pretty much have the same issues: videos (all - .mov, .mp4) play absolutely horribly in both applications, and cover flow is slow/choppy at best. I think it's an iTunes/Vista issue that Apple has yet to touch, so I'm just waiting for January (I'll buy my first mac, a macbook pro, then), because for the first time in my life, I'll have an installation of iTunes that functions properly. I love iTunes. Just not on Windows machines. It leaves something to be desired.

  • SAPGUI 6.4 and Windows Vista

    Hi,
    does any of you know how SAPGUI 64 and Windows Vista workl together?
    What Windows vista Version is the one to work with? Basic Home?, Basic Premium?, Professional?
    thanks for your help.
    MAuricio

    Hello Mauricio,
    SAPGUI 6.4 will work with Vista, but just make sure that you have the latest patch level.  We are upgrading to Vista and have tested 6.4, patch level 23 with the OS successfully.  The version of Vista "should" not mater as the underlying structure of each version is the same (they use the same kernel) just that each version has different features enabled/disabled.
    Thank you,

  • Officejet 6110 and Windows Vista lost communication

    I have used this printer with this computer for years.  It is an HP Officejet 6110 and Windows Vista.  No problems and prints all the time using the built in driver that came with Vista.  We powered the computer and the printer down.  Moved them to the other wall, 6 feet.  Plugged them back in, excatly, all same ports and cords, and when you print the spooler shows "Print - Error".  Only message and no more details.  Thought maybe cable for printer bad but tried one form a different computer and same thing.  Uninstalled printer and when rebooted Windows did not see it to Auto install.  Told Windows to search for new hardware and it found nothing.  Turned printer off and tried reboot and still nothing.  Tried manually adding and choosing old port, and nothing.  Looked all over web and did not see solution. Went in to safe mode and printer not listed.  Where can we go to completely remove printer so Windows will find new hardware and reinstall properly?

    Hi RFG1022,
    Thanks for getting back to me with the printer information.  Much appreciated.
    What I would like to do is go step by step through a series of troubleshooting steps with you.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    The next step would be to remove the usb cable from the printer and from the computer and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    Please click on the following link for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer so the changes take affect.
    When the computer is back up and running, disable any firewalls or anti virus protection you may have running so that we don't have any conflicts with the reinstall.
    The next link is for the HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    Save the file the desktop so that it creates its own icon. Double click the new icon and follow the instructions. The install will prompt you as to when to connect the usb cable or wireless option so please do not connect the usb until asked to do so.
    If you have any other questions, please let me know.
    Cheers,

  • Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

    For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
    I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop.  I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
    I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now.  It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
    This is what daily scenario is:
    When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get  internet access.  After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks.  The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
    Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
    I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
    I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also,  I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
    I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches. 

    FIOS is short for fiber optics.  fiber optics is different technology than DSL.   
    With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software.  AND they offer you a fix.

  • Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

    Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
    I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
    Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
    Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
    Thanks to everyone will help e!

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

  • Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

    I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
    Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
    Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?
    Daddy-O
    One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

    Hi Daddy-O,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable.  In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver.  This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward.  Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here.  From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
    I hope this helps!  Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify.  Have a great day!
