Uninstall CS3 is NOT working

I'm trying to uninstall AE CS3 from my computer but when I use the Uninstall utility, I get error message that shows 2 red Xs and says something like it could not uninstall the application or the shared components. What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to get rid of the app and its related files completely?
Thank you...

Here's the actual text of the message I'm getting:
Summary
Errors: 2 component(s):
Adobe After Effects CS3
Component removal failed
Shared components
Component removal failed
I'm trying to uninstall a trial version a friend gave me so I can install a different trial version I downloaded. When I try to start up the version he gave me, I select that I want to try it for 2 days, but then I get a message that says the license has expired. The version I downloaded (which I've decided to buy if I can ever get this fixed) will not let me install it while the version he gave me is installed.
HELP!!!!

CS3 droplets not working

I have recently purchased and installed CS3 Design Standard, and I can't get droplets working within Photoshop CS3. I'm running on WinXP SP2.
As an initial test, I followed the documentation, and created a droplet from an existing action that I knew worked when applied within Photoshop. To keep things simple, I chose destination "none", so in theory the modified image should remain open once it has been processed. The droplet was created without issue, and I got a "Process.exe" in the desired output folder.
When I drag and drop an image onto the droplet, Photoshop gains focus (when it is running), or starts (when it is closed), but then nothing happens!
I have tried a number of different actions, and a number of different source images, and no matter what I have tried, nothing happens once Photoshop has taken focus. I have checked the actions, and there is no "Open" command within them, so from what I've read, in theory, the droplet should open the image, then process it.
All the actions I have tried work fine if I already have an image open, and then apply them, so I know the actions should work.
I get no droplet errors, and no log file created when I specify a log location.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? When I simply double-click on the droplet, Photoshop gains focus, and nothing happens. So I'm thinking somehow the image filename isn't getting passed to the main program?
Cheers,
Ashton

OK, here's what I did. Please note that before installing CS3 for the first time, I uninstalled CS2, so my CS3 install was not simply an 'upgrade', in theory it was a clean install (though it's apparent that the system may not have been completely clean). I never used droplets in CS2, so I can't confirm that they worked previously.
1) Uninstalled CS3 from Add/Remove Programs, including all user preferences and settings. This left me with nothing installed. At the end of the uninstall I let the computer reboot.
2) Ran the DropletFixer.vbs script. When finished, it reported "0 errors found", so I guess it didn't do anything?
3) Ran Registry Mechanic to help clear out unused registry entries. I noticed in the results there were a lot of entries related to Adobe products that it 'cleaned'.
4) Rebooted the computer once more for good luck.
5) Deleted the folder "Program Files\Adobe" and all remaining files and folders within it.
6) Installed CS3 Design Standard from scratch, including all components.
7) Rebooted the computer one final time.
The end result?
Droplets still don't work!
The only things that are different this time around (if my memory serves me correctly):
1) Now, when I have Photoshop already open, and I drop an image file onto the droplet, Photoshop does not even gain focus like it used to. When Photoshop is not open, it opens and gains focus like it did previously, but nothing happens.
2) The default droplet name is now "Untitled.exe" - I'm pretty sure it was "Process.exe" before the re-install.
I now officially give up. I'm not prepared to stuff around any more, especially when it takes more than an hour to do a re-install...
If someone comes up with a potential solution that doesn't involve a re-install I might try that, but for now, I've had enough. Droplets aren't important enough for me to go chasing around for days trying to solve this issue.

Adobe After Effects CS3 does not work on my new iMac

Hello everyone,
I recently bought myself a new iMac and Adobe After Effects CS3, and guess what, the stuff does not work. I've tried almost everything, been on a lot of forums but can't seem to find any solution. One thing that keeps coming back is that it has to do with the Geforce 8800 GT in my iMac, some kind of compatibility problem between both.
The problem is this, whenever I start AE CS3, a window pops up, stating "Out of Memory ( 23 :: 40 )".
And then something about licensing, but I guess I can skip that window, since that clearly has nothing to do with the problem.
Are there some beta drivers or something for my videocard that I can download somewhere to maybe get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Maxim

LR2 to PS CS3 roundtrip not working right

I am sorry, but from where I am standing Adobe screwed up big.
In the first place, LR 2 is very slow on my MACPRO with 4 gigs, as slow as Aperture 1.5 was and was what made me switch from Aperture to Lightroom.
In the second place, PS roundtrip is not working right. LR2 sends the image to PS when I select edit in, but after I finish with the file in PS and close and save, the new file does not show up in LR 2. It is in the folder but not in the catalog. I either have to re-import the image or sync the folder. On either case, it is not stacked with the original.
What's up??
Is there a setting or something? or just a big screw up from Adobe? Why isn't Adobe addressing this issues in public?

I am having the same problem with lr2. Mine will not round trip. It goes to CS3 but will not come back when saved in CS3. Strange thing is, after having LR2 since day one of release it did round trip a few times yesterday but today it is back to its habit of no round trip.
At times LR2 is slow and the brush tool is mostly unusable since it is so slow. Also sliders are very sticky.
If the Adobe boys and girls can get it working soon LR2 is great and I feel it has increased my quality.

HT4827 After Server uninstall things do not work

I have done this:
1) Stopped all Server services
2) Dragged Server app to Trash
3) Cleaned Trash
4) Rebooted
Many things still work differently or not work at all: SMB, Screensharing (server). I get messages in logs such as
mkey_file: /var/db/krb5kdc/m_key.SERVER.LOCAL
or
-[PasswordServerPrefsObject getSearchBase]: Unable to locate search base: -1 Can't contact LDAP server
which I never got before ...
So, I then reinstalled Mountain Lion from freshly downloaded Install. This has not caused any improvements (or damage).
How can I return to the pre Server install state without having to wipe the disk, install Mountain Lion, and then recover my Applications, documents, etc from TimeMachine.

I am replying to myself because I found the problem: LDAP services were left behind. After destroying them with
<code>
slapconfig -destroyldapserver
</code>
I no longe have problems.

Photoshop CS3 does not work Instantly then fails to close properly

ok so the main problem is that lately ive been working on a wallpaper for my site and just recently the program has been acting up. the best way to describe it is normally the marquis tool when you pick an area the line showing the border of the marquis moves kind of like an animation right? well in my case it works normally for a little then a little later(1-2minutes) the marquis stops moving. at the point that this occurs i can no longer see the marquis but can still move it with the move tool. i can see the marquis if im using the marquis tool and switch to another tool then click on the image area. also when i try to show/hide a layer at this point when i click the eye it goes away but you can not see the physical changes until i click somewhere in the image. now once this "problem" occurs and i try to exit photoshop the file will close, but photoshop itself will not, then i get an error message saying its not responding and i have to manually shut it down via task manager/ rightclick-close multiple times. i have normally been able to run windows media player, my antivirus download updates, and sometime other programs on top WHILE running photoshop cs3 extended and it normally doesnt have any problems.
now the file size i am working on is a psd amounting to almost 8mb. and it seems that high files like that seem to give it trouble so i thought maybe the ram access was a problem but i allowed the program under preferences 1.6gbs of physical memory to itself and it didnt change anything. also on the file i was using i was using alot of gradient filler layers to get my effect if that helps. i thought maybe something was wrong with photoshop itself as i have come into contact with viruses occasionally and somehow i had managed to get the frmwrk32 trojan that just recently was discovered but i fixed all those problems so after uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop it did not fix the problem.if its possible a key or something got deleted i can work towards that as well.
for now small files like jpegs under 1mb seem to load and i can work on them vigorously but i have yet to fully try out the memory method. i can provide the exact files i was working on in psd psb or any format necessary to help with this process.
for computer system records this is my info.

Installed Acrobat Pro and uninstall Reader does not work defaults back to Reader

I've installed Acrobat Pro, after installing Acrobat Reader. After I uninstall Reader and click on a PDF file, it automatically opens it in Reader. I've clicked Acrobat 9 as my preferred software, but next time, it reverts back to opening in Reader. I'm using a lenovo Yoga laptop with Windows 8.1.

Thank you very much for your reply. This didn't work. As you can tell, this is not a high priority for me, just annoying that I have to uninstall Reader every time I open a PDF. It will open in Acrobat after that, 'til I shut down my laptop.
Here's the order: I installed Acrobat Reader. Then I installed Acrobat Pro. Then I uninstalled Acrobat Reader. But when I click on a PDF file, it reopens in Acrobat Reader (I don't use Microsoft Reader - at least on purpose!) Somehow Acrobat Reader is not completely uninstalling and reactivates. Our computer consultant tried to fix it, but couldn't. He said he thot some of his research showed this was a problem in Windows 8 and 8.1?
I just tried going into Programs in the Control Panel and Acrobat Pro 9 only shows Uninstall/Change, not Repair. However, I clicked through and got to Repair. Tried that (which I've actually done before) and still didn't work.

Opening CS2 document in CS3 Server not working,

Hi
I'm trying to open an InDesign CS2 document in CS3 Server, but when I do that, the Application.open() doesn't return.
InDesignServer.exe starts working for a while, creates a lock file, but then it starts to idle and the call won't return.
After this, I cant do anything against the server anymore, until i restart it.
Is this a known issue? is there a solution for this?
I'm using the Java/CORBA interface.
Thanks
/Niklas

I got it working after uninstalling and installing again, and updating, but now i have another problem.

My license for Adobe CS3 is not working?

Three weeks ago, I received the message that it seemed like I was working with a counterfeit version of CS3. That's not true, seven years ago I bought the total package and created an account on adobe. I am also in possession of the license code.
No problem I thought, I enter my serial number and I can go back to work. Not so! I get the message that the serial number that I have entered is not valid !!
I have a real problem, I have several projects, which I can not run now! Is there anyone who can tell me how I can solve this problem?

Photoshop CS3 is not working with my Intuos suddenly!!! Pen goes in crazy lines instead of behaving?!

I am so frustrated tonight. My BRAND NEW Wacom Intuos tablet worked fine the last time I tried it, a couple months ago. I am running a Mac OSX with Parallels and Windows 7, which I run Photoshop CS3 on. It was doing fine but now suddenly I try it tonight and it goes crazy when I'm trying to paint with the brush--sensitivity is gone, it's just a thick line; more importantly, it won't behave!! The pen keeps spazzing and doing these retarded straight lines instead of going where I want it to go!!! It works perfectly fine outside of Photoshop, both on the Windows AND Mac side, so obviously this is a Photoshop problem. I've installed the latest Wacom Intuos driver for Win7 and it won't work. I've tried having Photoshop open first and then plugging in the tablet and I've tried plugging in the tablet first and then opening Photoshop. still no good.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

You installed the latest driver from here?
Drivers | Wacom
Also, resetting the photoshop cs3 preferences could help.
Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Shift+Cmd+Option) keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3.
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes because you do.

Flash CS3 button not working inside HTML

or some reason, my SWF "About Us" button will link properly when activated through the SWF
itself, but inside the HTML file it does not seem to want to work.
My HTML is at:
http://www.sirbgb.com/sample/home.html
And my SWF is at:
http://www.sirbgb.com/sample/Home_F9.swf
The target is:
http://www.sirbgb.com/sample/about.html
Please note that none of the other buttons/links have code yet.
Here is my AS3 code for the button if it helps:
aboutus.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpAbout);
function jumpAbout(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.sirbgb.com/sample/about.html"));
Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong, this is driving me crazy.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, but I still have one more questions. I downloaded swfobject.js
and now it appears that my link is working! However, now my transparency is gone in
Firefox (but still works on IE and Safari). Can you please show me how to get it back?
Here is my new HTML code for the animation:
/// In <HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
/// In <BODY>
<object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="960" height="768">
        <param name="movie" value="Home_F9.swf" />
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
        <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
        <param name="allowNetworking" value="all">
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Home_F9.swf" width="960" height="768"></object>
</object>
I thought having <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> would give me the transparency I need,
but it appears that it does not cover Firefox.
Other than that, everything works great, thanks!

Uninstall Apps - Wiggle Not Working

I read a bunch of things online that all say I should press and hold the apps until they begin to wiggle than an X will appear.
This does not seem to work?
I press and hold the icon and nothing happens? Eventually when I let go the app just launches?
Please does anyone know what is happening?

CS3 Extension that initializes a JS-Object during startup is not working in CS4

Here is a simple Extension that works fine in DW CS3 and doesn't work in DW CS4 (trial version):
The File myObj_Startup.htm was placed in Folder Configuration/Startup. It initializes a quite simple Javascript-Object during Startup of DW.
Content of myObj_Startup.html:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>beim Öffnen</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
myObj =
     showMsg : function (msg)
         alert(msg);
function onOpen()
   myObj.showMsg("startup");
// SCRIPT ENDE
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="onOpen();">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Besides this, an additional menuitem was defined in menus.xml to use the JS-object myObj:
<menu mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_File" id="DWMenu_File">
        <menuitem name="Test" command="myObj.showMsg('Testing');" enabled="true" domRequired="false" id="DWMenu_File_SIEMENSTEST" />
        <menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_File_New" key="Cmd+N" command="dw.newDocument()" enabled="true" domRequired="false" id="DWMenu_File_New" />
With Dreamweaver CS3 everything works out fine: I get a Alert-message: "startup" during Startup and when I'm clicking Menu->File->Test I get a Alert-message: "Testing".
With Dreamweaver CS4 (trial version) I get a message: "startup" as well but when I'm clicking Menu->File->Test I get no message.
Instead I get a Logfile "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration\Logs\DW JavaScript.log" telling me:
   JS Error:
       myObj is not defined
       filename:
       lineno: 0
       While executing DWMenu_File_TEST command in menus.xml, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
       ReferenceError: myObj is not defined
Why is this simple extension working in DW CS3 and not working in DW CS4?
Did they change the treatment of JS-objects initialized during startup?
Is the object out of scope?
Are such extensions not working in trial versions of DW CS4?
I cannot explain this behavior - please help!

Hi,
I have an similar problem and couldnt find an workaround for the problem.
When i add an new menu item to the menus.xml file, the menu item shows up, but my custom command (simple alert) wont trigger.
Can somebody please help?
