Photoshop :: Installing CS4 On New Windows 7 Laptop
Jul 12, 2013
The laptop I had crashed and I bought a new one. Windows 7. Trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4 onto it, but getting error message, "The installer database is corrupt. Contact customer support."
Â
I contacted customer support and was told they no longer offer phone support for CS4.I know I'm going to have another issue, because this is an upgrade version and when I first installed it, I had to contact customer support because I was upgrading from an educational version.
I have a laptop running LR 3.6 and want to try 4.4 to determine whether the laptop is man enough for the job. It's a Core 2 Duo T6400 2.0Ghz with 4Gb RAM and Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Â If I install the trial version of 4.4 how do I make sure it doesn't mess up my 3.6 catologue, so that I can go back to it, if I'm not happy with the trial? Â I want to try 4.4 against my full cataloque to make sure that I'm doing a proper performance test.
I recently bought a Dell 1720 laptop that had such a poor display that I returned it. Can anyone here recommend a good Windows laptop for running Photoshop and Illustrator.
I have a business requiring photoshop. I have it installed on my big mac at home, but just bought a MacBook Pro to be able to take it on the road. How do I install the photoshop from my big computer onto this one? I don't have to buy a new one do I?
Don't bother checking the specs on my profile, as this post is about another computer.I just have two questions for now to try and minimize time to correct the problem.
Question 1: Can the VSPro X2 Windows 7 compatibility patch be installed before installing the program?
Question 2: Should compatibility mode be tried before installing a compatibility patch? Or should the compatibility patch be installed first?
Background: I have Service Pack 1 and have already downloaded the VS Pro X2 compatibility patch for Windows 7 (UVS125_Win7_Patch.exe [URL]
I bought VSP X2 a couple of years ago for daughter( living in another location) using Win XP at the time. Now she has Windows 7 notebook, and when she tries to install VSP X2 she gets an error something like this: "application incorrect...xstrace.exe" (I am in process of trying to get exact error message) Device information: Will get if needed.Program version: VSPro X2Patches/updates that have been installed. Daughter has SP1 but not installed yet because she cannot install the main program. As noted above I have downloaded and sent her the Windows 7 compatibility patch, but need to know if she can install it before installing the program.
How can i install Photoshop CS3 on Windows 8 - install does not complete - error message "Installer Database corrupt".  Rebooting my computer and re-downloading the software from the Adobe website for another clean install made no difference.
I have heard that Photoshop CS4 is not meant to be used on XP 64 but has anyone here installed it successfully? Is it working?
I am trying to install it on my XP 64 PCs and no go. One of them gets pretty far into the installation process and conks out. The other (newer, faster PC) gets this error message when trying to fire up the Installer:
File Access Denied
Both of these PCs are running AMD 64 bit MBs. The older one has 2 GB of RAM while the newer one has 8 GB of RAM.
I have photoshop 7 which I have used for years. My computer died (windows XP) and I had to buy a new one with windows 8 . I have re installed Photoshop 7 and now when I click on the Photoshop icon it begins to load then halfway through I get a message that says "You currently have Adobe Photoshop's primary scratch and windows primary paging file on the same volume which can result in reduced performance. It is recommended that you set Adobe Photoshop's primary scratch volume to be on a different volume, preferably on a different physical drive" The only option here is to press "OK" then it automaticly closes.
My Windows 7 has updates. When it does this, Photoshop will not run. I have reverted the PC back before the update and Photoshop runs fine. The only thing is that the PC will update itself unless I turn the automatic updates off. Photoshop CS2, running on Windows' 7 Home Deluxe edition.
Just got a new computer running windows 8.1. Have installed actions many times before and they work great, but now when I install them it shows that its building content but the actions are not there.
Recently we had a user pose the inquiry regarding lost files from users when trying to save files to the network from the windows 7 computers. They would look and act like they were being saved to the mapped drive from the network but when they returned the next morning the work was gone.

Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Â Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
I lost my ability to see thumbnails in my file preview after I installed an X6 trial, and I can't get them back. I uninstalled X6 and read to uninstall the extension and reinstall it to get it back....but can't find the file.
I want to install ColorDRAW graphics X6 on an Windows 64 BITÂ computer.
We know that is officially not supported. But is there a workarround available ?If already tried to run in it in compatibility mode on an account with admin rights.That doesn't work.I get an error during the installation:Microsoft Visual Basic for applications 7.1 is not supported.
We are instaling Windows 8 this evening and I am trying to export the settings from C3D/map 2011.1) Is it possible to export your setup, which would capture a screenshot, so thal your toolbars and menus that you have set can be imported into your 2011 re-install? 2) In Options the Profile "Export" is the setup for your File path defaults under "Options" "File"? 3) SYSDVLG will export all my default settings, which I can import into my initial "Drawing 1" after re-install?
I have a Windows 8 64-bit system. Why Corel VideoStudio X6 has Windows Media Encoder 9 Series included in the installation package. It is not even supported on Windows 7 and 8. [URL]
before buying a new laptop. My question is will the following specs work well with adobe products like Photoshop, fireworks and like programs. I don’t play any games so that is not an issue. I do mostly web design and like I said using Adobe software mostly. The following is from a Sony Vio Z-series. I am leaning towards it only because it is small and compact….only issue is the graphic card….seems a little weak. However some people say it will be fine with adobe software…not for games. I need some honest opinions and please no advice to switch to Mac…thanks.Sony Vio Z:2.80GHz (P9700) Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor256GB SSD8GB DDR3 SDRAMScreen Specs:13.1" Screen1600 x 900 Resolution XBRITE-DuraView™ TechnologyMobile Broadband Built-InLED BacklightGraphics:· NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS GPU with up to 2010MB total available graphics memory · Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with Intel® Clear Video · Up to 256MB of dedicated video RAM · Hybrid Graphics System · Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset
I have a new HP envy i7, 16GB, Win 8 laptop and am installing a new Production Premium Suite. I installed PS, Premiere and Audition. Premiere and Audition start fine, but PS freezes the moment it is started. Cannot access any menu items, and have to close nonresponding program via Task Manager.Â
I copied over my workspace folder (from my desktop)  to preferences, cs5, on my laptop, but it just wont appear on the laptop — They are both Mac, both on Mountain Lion.
I've recently rebuilt my laptop (XP SP2, compaq 6910p) and cannot install Photoshop 7.The CD loads to the point where I choose which feature I want (reader or photoshop), then it just stops. It's not the CD, because it installs fine in other machines. I cannot run the install from either my desktop locally or from a CD drive of a working machine.
I am currently running CS3 on a laptop that will soon be replaced. I know that I have to de-activate CS3 on the old laptop, before I can install CS3 on the new laptop. (Note: New laptop is an ASUS G71G-Q2) Once CS3 is installed I will then run the upgrade disk for CS4. What I'm trying to figure out is this: BEFORE I install the CS4 upgrade, do I need to install all the updates/fixes to CS3 to insure "trouble free" operation of CS4? or does installing the CS3 updates play no role in CS4 as they are like two different app's? I would assume that whatever responce I get here about CS3 and CS4 would also apply to Lightroom 1.4 and Lightroom 2.3 regarding updates.Â
I have just got a new mac book pro, and i'm not sure how to do this.
Lets say I rasterize some text, now i want to do something to it... i go to the layers and want to have marching ants go around the whole layer. I thought it was APPLE+CLICK but its not working, i tried searching the forums but couldnt find it. what do i do?
My daughter is considering buying Photoshop CS4 Extended and has a laptop with 1GB RAM and processor speed of 1.67ghz. The website says spec should be 1.8Ghz.....would she still be able to run it on her laptop?
My laptop has this chipset as it's graphic card: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset
I'm running Vista Home Edition with 3G RAM and I just updated the graphic card drivers.
Photoshop's GPU options are greyed out, and I can't use the rotate tool. Does this chipset simply not have the capacity to support whatever the program wants, or am I just not configuring something right?
The laptop is an ASUS F80L (which has not much information online itself).
I am running Lightroom and photoshop elements with 16meg raw files and I am bogging down with an old Pentium lap top. I am going to purchase a new lap top this weekend.
It is my work computer as well so they only purchase Think Pads and it will have to run Windows XP. Does anybody have a recommendation on a Think Pad model? What Processor, Ram, and hard drive space would be optimum?
I have a licensed copy of Photoshop CS4 running on my Windows Vista computer. Now I have a new laptop and I want to install CS4 (not extended) on it too. I downloaded CS4 and don't have a disk to install a copy on my laptop. So how do I get a new copy on my laptop? Should I download a trial version of CS4 extended?
