Toolman I am sorry but there is no computer statistics on the link you displayed.  You can find much of the Windows system requirements for Creative Suite 3 in Troubleshoot installation problems (Adobe Creative Suite 3.x on Windows Vista) - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-installation-problems-creative-suite -6.html.

    Will my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 run on Mavericks?
    I have a 2007-08 model iMac, running Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks into it and "dual-boot" to determine which flavor of OS X you are running.  DO NOT install Mavericks over your Snow Leopard environment as Mavericks will destroy it!
    You can then experiment using Mavericks all you want with the ability to boot back into Snow Leopard as needed.

  • In DCOMCnfg "Run application on this computer" is grayed out for my application on two Windows 7 machines, but it works fine on all other machines

    We have a COM application that is installed on hundreds of machines around the country.  We have instructions included in our install doc of how to set up DCOMCnfg.  On one machine in the field and one machine in our lab (both happen to be Windows 7 machines) the checkbox "Run application on this computer" on the location tab in DCOMCnfg is grayed out and therefore we cannot access our engine remotely.
    I turned off UAC before installing  (we found that the install works much better than way)  and it is actually still off.  I do not get any DCOM errors in the Windows Event logs when I try to access via DCOM, I just get the standard -2147023174 Server Error.  I have added CallFailureLoggingLevel to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLE and set it to 1 to enable logging, but still no errors in the event logs.
    I pulled a DCOMTest utility off of the Microsoft site.  Initially it failed, but there were entries in the event logs indicating that it did not have the permissions it needed.  I opened up those permissions and now that test utility works fine.  So, DCOM is functioning between the two computers.
    This application is used with DCOM by hundreds of people, so I know the application should be working properly.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled to verify that everything is registered properly.  I have tried turning off the firewall and the anti-virus.  I am logged in as an administrator
    I am at a loss.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This issue can occur if the current user profile does not have enough permission or related system file is corrupted. Please try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    1. Assure the current user account has administrator permission. If not, please add it to Administrators Group and then test the issue again.
    2. Restart the machine in Safe Mode and logon to the machine with the account: administrator. Then, please check whether the option is grayed out.
    3. If the option is still grayed out, please try this step.
    a. Open C:\Windows\System32 folder and change the ownership of the ComUID.dll file from "trusted installer" to administrators group.
    b. Rename that file as ComUID.dll.org
    c. Copy the attached ComUID.dl_ file from the Windows 7 installation disk to C:\Windows\System32 folder and rename it to ComUID.dll
    Thanks,
    Novak

  • Reinstalling Adobe Design Suite CS3 on a New MacPowerBook - missing components?

    I have just replaced my old MacPowerBook (circa 2009) with a new MacPowerbook. Both are running the same OS 10.9.2. Design suite runs on the old powerbook, but it is failing
    and needed to be retired.  Transfer of my licensed CS3 design suite will not run after application transfe with an apparent license failure. Instructions in the warning window says to Says to uninstall and reinstall.  Reinstallation from the Master Installation disk fails with an error messages which says components are missing but does not tell me which components are missing.  Downloading installation files from Adobe's site gives the same error message (components missing). How do I identify the missing components

    uninstall, clean and reinstall per, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

    My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one.  It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer.  Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held."  I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
    It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're running into print issues.  I would like to help with that!
    What version of mac are you using?
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Design Suite - Upgrade just PS to CS4?

    Hi
    This probably was posted before (but this Jive software's search sucks so bad I haven't bothered to look), anyway can I simply buy a Photoshop Extended CS4 upgrade and apply it to the Photoshop installed as part of my Design Suite CS3? Purely a technical question - will  PS CS4 install and will PS CS3 still be there and functional?
    I need to start getting up to speed with PS CS4 and there's really no production related need to go the whole 600.00 Suite upgrade route - yet. It looks like the rest of the apps won't benefit from 64-bit code till CS5 (fall 2010) and the PS CS4 upgrade won't go to waste since we have multiple licenses to update in the future. And yes, I know about all that legal, activation stuff associated with that last statement. Thank you for your time.

    Thanks Bob, I'll look into that. I'm sorta being a bit pissy because PS is the application used in production around here - I was able to get the design suite because of marketing dept support (DW, ID etc.); there's no way the marketing guy needs to spend the money to get what they need already w/CS3 (they don’t really care how it gets done). And I use those tools so little that I really can't justify a suite upgrade - except to maintain continuity.
    It's all about $$$ in a deep recession in an extremely competitive environment. Those are not assumptions. Right now I can justify doing all eight of our PS licenses to PS CS4 upgrades based on a feature set and 64-bit robustness. However, even that is troublesome because half of those CS3 machines are running XP-64 - wait - not supported by CS4! I'll let you talk to our IT manager about Vista or Win 7 .
    So yeah, it's tough figuring out which way to go on this, and don't even get me started on my personal set up - what do I do with my Master Collection? There, I need to get going on PS CS4 to keep my ‘real job’ skills up to snuff, but shelling a grand out for ‘just’ that without the PP and AE (I’m just now messing w/video and AE never installed properly) soon-to-be CS5 64-bit updates you mentioned would be just stupid. I’m probably not the only Suite user who’s in this boat, trying to keep our business’ afloat while navigating not just Adobe’s “must have” upgrades, but MS’s multi-OS confusion as well.
    This all fits well into The Paradox of Choice, and Adobe, MS, even Google are feeling the effect. It's why PS 7 is still so popular...

  • Install Acrobat only with Design Premium cs3 installer

    I work at a school district that has a school that purchased a bunch of licences for Design Premium CS3. Howerver, many of the labs have decided that they only want Adobe Acrobat installed, and none of the other CS3 applications.
    I have successfully created a install.xml file for adobe acrobat, however, there are still some cs3 apps that get deployed with it, such as Adobe Bridge, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit, adobe device central, adobe stock photos, & Adobe Extend Manager.
    If I try running the acroPro.msi directly from the payloads folder, the install wizard runs, but doesn't accept my Design Suite CS3 serial key.
    Does anyone know how to get Acrobat 8 to be installed without the other CS3 apps? Thanks

    There are certain components that get installed with the suite. I don't believe there's anything you can do about that without hacking the installer....something I wouldn't recommend given how poor the CS3 installers were to begin with.

  • Keynote 08, Flame Effect can't play on this computer warning message?

    Just bought a Mac Mini 2 GHz, upgraded the SDRAM to 2 GB and added iWork 08 - I was told that this would be a great, compact system as we have space issues for this workspace yet we get an warning message that a feature will not run on this computer - i.e. Flame Effect in Keynote. This is a somewhat cool feature, but now I am wondering what else I will not be able to use on 'this computer?' Any thoughts or should I simply return it?

    Welcome to the forums!
    Mac minis are excellent machines, but their graphics processor is rather low-end, so it can't handle some of the more graphics-intense features of some applications. This includes the flame effect in Keynote, as well as the demands of most 3D games.

  • "This Computer Plus" missing

    After I updated FCPX to 10.0.4 and Compressor tp 4.0.3, I am unable to choose "This Computer Plus" in either application.
    Is it only a handfull of people that are having this problem? Please, instead of everyone chiming in on how to delete the caches and restart this and that, can we just have someone who has actually had this problem and solved it tell us how to fix it.

    I also experienced the loss of "This Computer Plus" and access to clusters from Final Cut Pro X once I upgraded. I started working with a tech at Apple on the problem. When he escalated the problem, Apple Engineering told us that this feature was removed from FCP with 10.0.4, but is still available in Compressor, but not if you send the job to Compressor from FCP. You have to create a QuickTime file from FCP and then pull that file into Compressor. Only then will you see the cluster or the "This Computer Plus" checkbox.
    We all should go to www.apple.com/feedback and mention that we want this feature back.

  • After reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Can you install Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on a 2012 Macbook Air running Lion?

    Are you talking about adobe creative cloud? 
    If you are, the Adobe Creative Cloud give you most of Adobe's tools (and all that most would need) to do anything.  I will warn you about this though, is that it is a subscription, and you are basically renting it.  that means you really do not own it.
    About the hard disk space, all Adobe apps seem to take up at least a GB (and this does not matter if you get the master collection or the Creative Cloud).  so ether way, it will take some space. 
    Also, if you want to try-before-you-buy, you can go to creative.adobe.com, and get a free account and try out all of he adobe apps available for creative cloud.  The best part of it, your apps will be updated to CS7 (if or when it comes out) instead of buying the apps again in your subscriptions.  if you need even more information, you can go to adobe's site to find out more (www.adobe.com)

  • Running Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on G4 iBook

    Hi all
    I have a G4 iBook 933 MHz, 640 Mb RAM, 32Mb graphics card running OS X 10.4.11. Adobe Creative Suite CS and Macromedia Studio MX 2004 are both installed on the system and run fine.
    I'm considering upgrading the software to Creative Suite Design Premium CS3. The idea is to wring another 6 months solid use out of the iBook then purchase a Mac Pro to be my workhorse. The iBook will be used just when I'm on the road.
    The system requirements for CS3 design premium seem to be borderline OK for the iBook, only Photoshop and Illustrator seem to require more graphics memory than I have - but I won't be pushing either to the limit.
    Just wondering if anyone is successfully running CS3 on the same hardware? Or if someone's tried and found it won't work!
    Thanks in advance folks.

    Hi mpjx,
    I found the minimum requirements for CS Design Premium...
    Macintosh
    PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor
    Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5 (Leopard)
    Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
    1GB of RAM
    6.3GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
    1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
    DVD-ROM drive
    QuickTime 7.1.2 software required for multimedia features
    Some 3D features in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended require an OpenGL 1.4 capable graphics card with at least 64MB of VRAM
    Internet or phone connection required for product activation
    Broadband Internet connection required for online services*
    Here's the link: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/systemreqs/
    Since your iBookg4 only supports 640MB of RAM, and CS requires 1GB of RAM, I think you would experience very slow performance and probably crashes while editing.
    I wish I had something more positive to offer...

  • CS3 freezes at Adobe Design Suite window upon loading

    All of a sudden on both my macs running OSX 10.7.5, I can't load any of my CS3 programs. My computer keeps freezing on the window titled "Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3". The window below is blank and the only active button is the yellow one, not the red or green. I have tried restarting several times to no avail. Anybody know what is happening? Should I try reinstalling the entire suite on both my computers? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi KJess,
    Did you install any new updates that might have caused this? When was the last time that it was working fine?
    Try launching the app in Mac's safe mode and check.
    Are you not able to launch any of the application from the Design standard Suite?
    In case you still face issues consider removing the program and reloading it,

  • Will Adobe Illustrator CS3 version 13.0.0 run on Yosemite?

    Will Adobe Illustrator CS3, version 13.0.0 run on Yosemite?
    Will Photoshop Elements 10.0 run on Yosemite?

    >Still no new solution that actually works... No additional information available either.
    There is... Reinstall your OS, reinstall the Creative Suite (Or Illustrator alone) then apply the updates. This will eliminate the problem with your OS that is preventing the updates from proceeding.
    This method works 100% of the time. Granted, most users want an easier answer.
