WHY CAN'T I JUST INSTALL ANY ADOBE CS PROGRAM??!

Whatever CS program I try to install, after initializing the setup, it just disappears... It's still in the processes tab of Task manager, but it doesn't do anything...
More then a year ago I successfully installed Photoshop CS3, but after that, it just didn't work anymore. I've tried Flash CS3, Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS3, but none of them worked.
Does anyone have a solution for this??
And why can't Adobe just make WORKING setups...? Must not be that difficult...

However they do work. Try the Adobe clean scripts and the M$ installer update.

http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
And turn off anything that might be interfering with the setup.
And read this – there's a lot of information there about install problems!

Do the clean up scripts delete my Photoshop CS3?? Or any other Adobe software??
Where can I find the MS installer update?
What programs might interfere with the setup?

You really need to provide more information than this.

Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program does not activate???

Why can I download and install CS6beta but the program refuses to be activated on the idiotic grounds that either I am not connected to the internet or my computer clock is not showing the right time? If in New Zealand we're not allowed to use the beta, why does Adobe not have the decency and courtesy of telling us so and why instead of feeding us with those stupid putoffs???

I had a note from PS Pattie ; I can't find it here. Anyhow, these were her questions and my answers:
Q:Did you download from this location? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/
A: Yes
Q:Did you select TRY and enter your Adobe ID?
A: I was then asked to "Sign in". I pressed the sign and got the following reaction:
Please connect to the internet and retry. Either your computer is offline or the clock on your computer is set incorrectly, causing a connection error. An internet connection is required. Please connect to the internet or adjust your clock and try again. If this problem persist, please contact Customer Support. I did so and was told "This page is not available"
Q: Did you try to download again and install?
A: Yes, three times – each time 1.71GB. I tried many other devices; none worked.

Please reboot the computer in selective startup mode and login by enabling the inbuilt hidden Admin account and then try to install the software.

Why can't I just speak to somebody in Sales? Why don't Adobe have a sales number on their site?

Why can't I re-install CS4?

Dear friends on the forum:
I recently purchased Abode CS4 on-line
and managed to install it OK. Just the other day, however, it crashed and wouldn't let me launch it again so I
uninstalled CS4, used Cleanscript then re-downloaded the program and re-installed it--or tried to! What I got was that little window that appears right off the bat
saying "Adobe Premiere Pro Installer: Initiallizing" with the caption below reading "Checking System Profile" All well and good. However, that thin blue line indicated progress of the process gets 90% accross then stops, never to go to the end.
Any suggestions as to what I might do about this? I have a PC running Windows XP Home Edition with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 2.8 GHz and 2.5 GB of RAM.
Many thanks for any and all input!
Regards, Lewis

Yes I did buy my copy of CS4 from Adobe, Bill. I didn't deactivate my copy before uninstalling, however. How does one do that? In any case, I went through this twice. The first time, I simply uninstalled CS4 by going through the control panel. Then I ran Clean Script but, of course, CS4 was already gone so I uninstalled all other CS4 applications (like Encore). I then reinstalled CS4 from the setup file that was already on my computer and it was when that problem with "Checking System Components"or however it was phrasedcame up. I tried uninstalling everything again and deleting the setup files, re-downloading it all and trying to re-re-install! Same problem.
I tried the link to kindly provided but it led me to "Unexpected Error" at the site where it was supposed to be. I will try again later. In the meantime, if you have any further suggestions in light of the above, I'd be humbly grateful.
A computer-savvy friend suggested that I purchase a new hard drive, install it on my computer along with my O/S (Windows XP) and CS4 and get the BIOS to point to that drive when it goes to boot up the computer. He said that I should dedicate this drive exclusively to my video work. Does any of this make sense?
Many thanks!
In appreciation, Lewis

Subject: Why can't I re-install CS4?
First, when you say that you bought CS4 "online," did you buy from Adobe Store?
Before you did the uninstall, did you deactivate your copy?
Here is a basic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/569663?tstart=0 that covers general installation issues with Adobe programs.
Good luck,

Why can't I just use DreamWeaver?

I purchased a subscription to DreamWeaver nearly a year ago, but every time I try to open the program, it tells me that my trial period has expired. When I follow the instructions to "License this Software," it tells me to log in and asks me for a serial number. When I key in the serial number--the exact serial number that's listed with my username and password--it tells me the serial number is invalid. Why can't I just use the software? I've been paying a monthly fee for 11 months now, and I have to go through this charade every time I triy to use the software. Been using computers for 30 years and never experienced anything like this. Any advice?

Hi JohnLynnBob,
You should delete all the Adobe entries from the 'hosts' file in your computer.
The location of hosts file is
For windows :-- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Open it with notepad)
For Mac :-- Open finder window ---> click on Go on the top ---> Go to folder --->Type '/etc' ---> Press enter --- hosts ( open it with text edit)
If you see any Adobe entries in the hosts file delete them, save the file, and then launch the product ---> license this software ---> sign in ---> the subscription will be activated.
Thanks

***? Why can't I just re subscribe to my magazine?

This seems so lame? Why can't apple just let me purchase using any of my Apple IDs?
I wouldn't have had two if I didn't sign up for the lame MobileMe. I also would have understood all of this had they explained when I purchased anything on the iPad that chose to use my other apple ID as a default. Where did that come from?
Now I can't even pretend to buy for the first time using the other apple ID.
This is driving me crazy.
I did try to contact apple thru the email support. It didn't work.
I tried to change my ID, but it keeps going back to the other ID.
Please, someone help.

If you don't see a Subscriptions section, then you have not purchased any subscriptions using that Apple ID.
To change the Apple ID that you are using in the App Store app, open the app to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Then tap again and sign in with the other Apple ID. You will be informed that for the next 90 days this is the only Apple ID that can be used on this device in the App Store. After you have signed in with this other Apple ID, follow the instructions to view the account so that you can maintain the subscriptions.

Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.

Problems installing any Adobe CS software

Hello.
I wanted to try out Photoshop, inDesign and Illustrator CS5.
I already had photoshop CS4 installed. However after installing windows 7 64 bit (I had windows vista 32 bit before) I have huge problems installing any adobe product.
I had to install photoshop over night and the next day it wasn't even ready. At the beginning of the installation it says it would take about 15 minutes but after reaching 20% it already says 155 minutes. before having windows 7 64 bit I had no problems installing photoshop CS4 but any adobe product I try to install now (either cs4 or cs5) needs extremely long to install (if it even finishes) I usually cancel because I have o hope it will actually finish since "needed" time is constantly growing during the installation.
My System :
- windows 7 64 bit
- intel core2quad 8300 (4x 2.5 Ghz)
- 7 GB Ram
- some medion motherboard
- not the best drive but still enough. (360 GB)
I'll try to burn the data on a DVD now but it can't be that my drive is that slow.
If anyone has the same problems, or have some advices / solutions, please answer,
thanks in advance.

I built a new computer so installed clean... but I have read that installing Win7 over anything else (upgrade) does not always work well compared to installing onto a freshly formatted drive
