Photoshop :: Continual Blank Registration Window Preventing Startup Of CS3 On Mac OS 10.6.8
Nov 20, 2013
I have been using Photoshop CS3 Extended for quiet a while without problems.Suddenly a blank registration window shows up whenever I need to use the program.Because I am unable to do anything with a blank window I cannot dispose of it and I cannot get past it to complete the startup process so I have to force quit the program.I have registered this version probably more than once so I can't imagine that to be a problem. I always use a partitioned drive with a full copy of the OS and applications installed on it.The same problem exists with that copy of Photoshop as well.
I am using an early Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.
I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it from my original disc but the same problem still exists.How do I solve the problem of being "locked out" of the application as I am also locked out of work as well ?
Upgrading to a later version is not an option at this point.

I cannot remedy the CS3 blank-screen problem on my Mac (Safari OS) with the suggested fix, as I don't get an error window saying "Never Register" after disconnecting internet and re-launching CS3.

I recently tried to open Photoshop (for Mac). Normally the register "Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3" pops up asking me to register (with the whole register form) and i just click register later. But now the screen is popping up completely blank.
No form, graphics or buttons. And i am unable to close it. Photoshop and the project i am working on load up but i cannot access it because of the register form window. How can i get rid of this? None of my adobe products are working.

When I try to access illustrator, photoshop etc. the file opens and then the Registration box opens (I think that is what it is) on top but is blank. The box title is Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3, only the minimize button is live. I cannot edit or work on the art work as nothing in the menu is live and selection tools don't work correctly. When I first open files they appear blank but the artwork appears if I increase or decrease the image size so they are there! - but I can't work on them. I always clicked 'later' on the register box before but can't do that now and it is blocking everything. I am running mac OSX 10.5.8 - I saw some info on a forum about finding the file for registration and ticking 'never' so it should never open but it was all for windows and I could not follow it on mac or find any equivalent file.

When I launch X3 I get a popup window "Messages" which has been blank/empty and you have to click on close to start VS X3. I already removed the checkmark in message preference. How do you get rid of this from constantly popping up on startup? Is this related to the constant error message I get whenever I exit out of X3?

using PS CS3 on mac 10.8.6 - been fine for years and was OK two days ago. Now when I open it I get a blank window (just the yellow dot upper left) and all else is frozen - can't even quit. Used 'force quit' which works but does NOT say that it is not responding.
Tried rebooting and restarting etc - no change.I know its old but it was fine for my purposes - and I have not changed anything.

Every so often when I open 2013 inventor it freezes at the startup window. the "progress bar" at the bottom gets about 75% across, then freezes. If I click on the window it, a dialog box appears that will let me close the program or check online for a solution. It has happened on all 7 machines here.

I am not able to get into my Illustrator CS3 account. A blank window shows when I try to get into the program and I can't get past the blank window. For some reason I am locked out.

I just upgraded to windows 7 and now there is a blank preview window when I try to capture. I have tried capturing in both DV and DVD and no preview. I am capturing via firewire from a VHS. This worked perfectly under windows xp but is not working under 7. It seems that it does capture but I cannot preview in order to find my spot on the tape.

I have a customer that sent me some Illustrator files (.ai) that, when I open them, they open with just a blank window and a box with no fill or stroke around the outside of the document. I am using Illustrator CS4 and I suspect this may be an Illustrator CS6 document but I didn't get any warnings when I opened it so I'm not sure. (I also don't know what version of Illustrator the original creator is using). The document sizes are large (35MB +) so there should be SOME content in them. I've tried making sure nothing is hidden and there are no layers that are turned off. I've also tried opening the files in Acrobat CS4 with no luck.

I recently purchased VSP4 and when capturing from Panasonic camera via fire wire, the preview window remains blank but capture is successful. I can preview video on LCD screen of camera but that is all. All the settings seem to be ok. (PAL). However, the options panel is greyed out except for insert to timeline option. Also, the video properties in the options panel are all greyed out. I have a previous version VS3 on another computer which shows the preview window OK on capture. Could this be the integrated video card in my new computer or is there something else going on here?

Firstly note I am using Videostudio Pro X4.
I have noticed many times that when I add the CIRCLE transition between two video clips that when I drag the 'scrubber' along through the two clips and transition, when the scrubber goes past/through the circle transition the preview window goes blank (displays black).
If I change the CIRCLE to any other transition it displays (the transition) correctly but as soon as I put the CIRCLE back it once again only shows BLACK.
If I PLAY the project the CIRCLE transition displays correctly - it is only when dragging the scrubber that the problem exists.
Is there a known problem with the CIRCLE transition?

Inventor 2013 and DWG trueview and Inventor View 2013 (or 2014) on a windows 7 computer.
Trying to launch files from an Intranet site. The files always want to come up in a browser window.
In windows XP, I was able to go into File Types and override this by specifying the program (sometimes).
In Windows 7 the File Types have been redone.
I want these files to launch in their respective programs ( .dwg files in trueview, .idw files in Inventor View).
Things I've tried:
Resetting internet explorer settings.
Disabling all addons
Changing security settings to low

I have the latest version of photoshop CC. Since updating to mountain lion 10.8.5 from lion PS CC doesn't work properly. Several of the tools gives me 'unable to use tool due to program error'. This is useless! I have installed the latest version of photoshop CC. It worked fine before. I can't use the eyedropper but the clone tool is fine. The brush tools are fine. Several of the other tools give this error. I can't see why some would work and others don't.
I worked fine in Lion so there is no reason it shouldn't work in mountain lion. It's so frustrating as it means I cannot use the software I've paid for. I updated via the adobe update manager as the CC desktop system doesn't work.
Everything is identical to what was there before - late 2011 imac with loads of memory and a wacom bamboo tablet driver with an older graphire tablet. No hardware has changed so it has to be a software error of some kind. The tablet driver is the latest one that works with the tablet I have and that works with mountain lion. I can't alter the version of that.

I don't see a section for CS3, so I will post here.
As far as I am concerned I have been hammered for $2,400 for a crap program.
I would like to be proven wrong.
Perhaps there is something I can do to stop the continual freezes, crashes, inconsistancies that occur in every program in the CS3 Suite.
As this is the Photoshop section, I will stick to one major problem that discourages me from even opening anything on it:
It takes ages to open a simple 400x600 jpeg file.
Here's my specs:
-Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
-3072 RAM
-2 Harddrives with over 300 gigs each (I'm only using one at the moment)
-NVIDIA Geforce 8500 GT Graphics Card
-Vista Home Edition
I am at the end of my rope here.
I'm considering backing up all the files (a 40 minute movie I've hair-pullingly, finally copied to DVD *couldn't use After Effects at all**the Interviews section wouldn't accept .gif images over the video**etc,etc.)and reformating the PC and installing XP.
Is this my only option, or is it Vista at all?
And I don't want to hear 'it works fine for me' or get some obscure link to some page with 100 FAQ that I'm expected to sort through.
Holy Jesus, twenty four hundred dollars for the privilage of re-visiting the '90s UI experience. woopie.
If you've ever felt my pain, and can help, I would be most appreciative.
I'm hoping it's a typical PEBKAC situation that can remedied by changing my Graphics Card or something.

I've got a few months' experience tinkering with .NET programming for AutoCAD under my belt, and I feel like I have a decent understanding of how to do various basic one-time operations in the drawing space...
But now I find myself wanting to create things that are dynamic and self-updating...say, for example, a "custom" version of a GEOMCONSTRAINT operation or something that draws custom entities based on the properties of a Civil 3D object and then erases and redraws these entities whenever the Civil 3D objects are changed.
I know that for performing one-time operations, transactions are the "vehicles" that get the job done...what is the "vehicle" I'm looking for here? (I'm hoping that what I'm describing is indeed possible?)

When I open a Threshold layer (or any other Adjustment layer), CS4 opens an Adjustment Layers pallet (or Tab Group or whatever it's called) and leaves it there, even if I delete the Threshold layer. To get rid of the Tab Group, I have to manually close it. That's annoying.
CS3 let me add a Threshold layer (or any other Adjustment layer) without opening the Adjustment Layers pallet.
Is there a place I can click in CS4 to tell it to not open the Adjustment Layers pallet whenever I add an Adjustment layer?

everytime I copy nd paste, it always adds to a new layer. This can be annoying because the new layer lacks the blending effects. Ive got situations where I have tried to copy and paste a section which has been floating as a layer with effects on, and it pastes down onto a new layer looking completely different due to no effects.
Is there a way to paste back onto the same layer. Or even better, a way to disable adding a new layer each time I wanna do a new action. It is alright sometimes, but layers can get a bit crazy when I have one for each line.

Just starting with Photoshop CS6 and trying to enter text. Getting the following error message:
"Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
Saw this error listed in 2008 on CS3. Does it look like the same thing?

I want to prevent Photoshop from auto-adding hyphens between a more-than-one-words file name, when I save an image with "Save for web & devices" option.
For example I want to save the image as "my image.jpg" and not "my-image.jpg", as Photoshop does. PS CS5, win7-32bit.

I've been trying to update iTunes for several months on my laptop PC, Windows 7, but always get a message that a program called Bonjour is stopping it. Finally decided to go to Apple store as desperate now to update my iPad 2 to OS 5. Today spent 3 hrs in Apple store with a Genius (but also PC expert), & even he was unable to get rid of an 'old' installation of Bonjour to enable iTunes update. A final conclusion was that it was linked to Photoshop. Ours is CS4.

How do I prevent PSE 9 from creating and displaying multiple copies of a given slide ? I have not asked for or made copies yet I often find multiple copies of a given slide, sometimes as many as 20 or 30. It's very annoying when trying to edit slides.
