trouble installing the Photoshop CS3 trial on my laptop. I meet all the system requirements and am currently running Windows Vista Ultimate, 32-Bit, as my OS.
Whenever I try to install, the setup window opens then immediately hits me with the error
"Critical errors were found in the setup.
- Session has dependencies that could not be satisfied.
Please see the Setup log file for details."
and then subsequently closes. And I know you would like to look at the Setup log file,
having trouble getting the trial i downloaded to extract onto my system. It tells me i either haven't got enough room or administritive privileges to run the set-up. Both of which aren't true.
this is the exact message i'm getting
"a problem occured while extracting some files. check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder"
I tried running that regsvr script, didn't help though.
I've now tried downloading it off of ie7 as opposed to firefox and I've got past the stage i got to previously.
I just put together a new comp system based on Vista 64 (I used to have XP Pro 32 bit).
So I reinstalled photoshop and to my surprise there are two versions in my startup menu (as well as on my C: drive)... one actually has 64 bit in the name and the other does not (so I assume it is the 32 bit version).
I'm not sure on the best way to deal with this... should I just delete the 32 bit icon in startup so I do not accidentally use it; or is there a way to just uninstall the 32 bit version only; or just uninstall the whole thing again and reinstall hoping it won't do it again?
I am just not sure if this is a big problem or not. I only had to enter my s/n number once and both versions seem to work. I also double checked in explorer and there are two instances of it... one in Program Files, and one in Program Files (x86).
Lightroom 2 seemed to install properly in Program Files.
My operating system is Widows Vista Home edition, 32 bit. I meet the Photoshop system requirements for RAM etc.
I purchased the Photoshop Elements upgrade version of Photoshop CS4, as I have a brand new copy of Photoshop Elements 6.0.
I attempted to install CS4 outright, but when I entered the serial number for Photoshop Elements 6.0, I got the following message:
"The serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected. Please try reentering the serial number, or selecting a different product from which to upgrade."
I called Adobe tech support regarding this issue, and they couldn't explain the problem to me, let alone a solution. The second time I called, I was simply instructed to install it as the trial version and call back again tomorrow!
I have since installed the trial version, and the exact same message appears when I attempt to insert my serial number. So as of now, I only have 29 days of CS4 left.
Every time I try to install the trial, I get an error message about 1/4 of the way through saying: "the following components could not be installed: Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop."Â I Don't know what to do (i even tried installing it several times, but the same error message occured every time.) Does anyone know what to do, cause I really wanna try out this program.
Im trying to install the CS4 in my Vista 64bit ... but in the end of the installation appear "concluded with errors" ... and when I open the ps appear a message saying that some applications components are missing !! What i have to do !?
I keep trying to install the trial version of Photoshop CS6 on my macbook pro (version 10.6.8) and I was able to download it fine from the download assistant. Once I tried installing it, however I kept coming up with the same error. First it says that the images couldn't be opened because of an invalid checksum, then if I opt to skip that step it comes up with a window letting me install it which I do but once it hits 44% it jumps to 99% and says installation failed due to an inauthentic certificate, saying "Adobe Genuine Software Verification Failure."
So I am trying to install the cs4 trial. It downloaded ok, but when it comes to the installation I am having a problem.
When it starts extracting the files, it will extract up until about 85-90% and then it stops and gives me an error message saying something along the lines of:
Extraction could not be completed due to insuffient space or incorrect privelages in the destination folder'
I have tried right clicking and running as the administrator but I get the same message.
I have Vista operating system and for whatever reason when I try to install new fonts and filters for CS3 they aren't compatible. Is there a patch I can download or do I have to change my operating system back to XP?
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.
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?
I want to try 4.4 against my full cataloque to make sure that I'm doing a proper performance test.
I just got a Vista machine and have installed all my CS3 stuff, MS Office, and other various things with no problems. When I got to Photoshop CS1, It doesnt even autostart. When I click on the drive, it says to insert a CD and ejects the tray. Is this a CS1/Vista glitch and if so, is there a fix somewhere? Not seeing any message about it in the patches section
I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message: "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help. I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
I am running Vista x64 Ultimate on a QX6850 system with 8GB of RAM. I also have 2x XFX8800GT graphics cards running in SLi with the latest Nvidia drivers (181.20). Dxdiag testing provides no errors.
The GPU support features in CS4 x64 (and x32) is greyed out with the text wording of no support in Photoshop standard. Based on some of the threads posted here, I tried enabling or disabling some settings in the Nvidia control panel, but the only one that seem to enable the GPU support is to deactivate SLi completely (which sort of defeats the purpose in 3D graphics).
Does CS4 support an SLi setup? If not, will there be any difference in performance with SLi disabled and using the CS4 GPU support vs the other way around?
Service Pack 1 for Vista is available. I just installed it. Other than it reset the native resolution on my main monitor, it went without a hitch.
Recently, it seems, that Vista has been lamb-basted (what does that actually mean) as a nasty OS. It is not, I have been using Vista Ultimate 32/64 without incident. SP1 is no larger than SP1 for XP (in ratio to installation size).
Any one who says that you should choose XP over Vista for a new computer installation is nuts.
Vista is a fine OS, having used it for the last 10 months I can confirm that is rock stable. I now use the 64 bit version exclusively, it has matured very quickly and is a great way to run a system.
Under Vista Ultimate I cannot get Photoshop CS3 Extended to run, it will open up and then just sit......Adobe Bridge CS3 2.0.0975 opens and works just fine. So does Lightroom 1.41.
I even tried opening PS from these programs, but just the same.
I then installed Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 and that works perfect too.
I have tried removing and reinstalling, repaired and updated but it makes no difference. It will install and also do the repair just fine. Changing the compatible mode and appearance to Windows Classic (from Aero) makes no difference. I am the only user and administrator.
Has anyone with basically this type of system been able to get Photoshop CS3 Extended (after having these problems) up and running?

I've installed Vista 64 Business on a AMD AM2+ platform with a Athlon Dual Core CPU (BE 5000). When installing CS3 Photoshop everything seems to be fine, no error messages during the install.
I try to start Photoshop...it won't open. The Photoshop gray screen comes up with the menu at top, but then it just sits there. Once I got the window with the serial number input, but after entering the number it stopped as well. The only way to close Photoshop is with the Task Manager.
I've tried different installations: Photoshop on a new Vista installation without having any other programs installed (no FW or AV), on a installation with different other applications running and so on. Everytime I get the same result: gray screen and stop!
I have been using this combination successfully for over a month when it changed. I tried to open CS4 normally and got the error message "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. Use the Properties command in the Windows explorer to unlock the file". This error message is then followed by : "could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. Use the Properties command in the Windows explorer to unlock the file".
I've downloaded Photoshop CS3 and opted for the 30 day trial. It came up saying there was a problem with setting the trial start date and asked me to input a serial number. Which I can't do, because I don't have one (obviously, I haven't bought it, I just wanna try it out!)
I do have one weird thing that happened that might shed some light, I don't know. When I was installing it, my virus detector, Spyder, said it had found a virus and asked me if I wanted to delete it. I said 'Yes'. Could that have been a false finding, and have I deleted some vital piece of software code?
- I am absolutely positive my system is capable of running Photoshop CS3 and what ever you throw at it (^^)
- Using: Windows XP Media Center Edition
- Trying to use: Photoshop CS3 Extended (Trial for now)
- Installation went smoothly and fast, surpisingly, but when I tried to open up Photoshop CS3 and clicked the button for "Trial" this error message came up....
"Problem with Trial A problem was encountered whle trying o load the trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or reinstalling the software fixes this problem. Otherwise, click Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial number to begin using the product without trial."
I tried restarting...ONCE AGAIN...but it did not work and I also tried reinstalling/fixing it with the setup but it did not work..
I downloaded the trail version, and ive had it for two days. Whenever i go to open a file, it gives me an error. (then send error report one that closes it) I got it to work for a few hours went to bed and i havent been able to open anything since.
I am using PhotoShop CS3 Extended along with MS Vista. for some reason when I open more then one image or file at a time, I recieve a message saying Photoshop has stopped working and then it closes out of Photoshop.
I've just installed a fresh copy of Windows Vista Business last night. After installing Photoshop CS3 however, I noticed a very serious lag issue. I looked into the problem a bit on google and this forum but did not reach a solution.
In general, the issues are as follows:
1. Opening and closing even the smallest of files takes a ridiculous amount of time. 2. Moving the mouse cursor over the toolbar or menubar requires up to 3 seconds before a response is received. 3. Right click menu requires up to 3 seconds to appear 4. Application of any tools shows a noticeable delay of action.
The most common suggestion is the "Network Printer" solution, which was not helpful to everyone including me. I also tried to change the performance settings and the cache level according to the optimization guide on this site, that also did not solve the problem.
I tried to run the software in XP pro SP2 compatibility mode, did not make a difference in performance. Disabling all the graphic options for Vista such as Aero Experience also was useless.
I'm just wondering as to whether we ever did reach a solution to resolve the issue or is this problem still left hanging?
CS3 ran fine before my upgrade from XP Pro SP2, I do not believe my hardware specs have anything to do with the lag issue. Yet, I'll leave it below just in case you guys need it as reference...

I have been running Photoshop CS Version 8.0 under Vista for 5 months when all of a sudden I cannot finishing loading Photoshop. It hangs after displaying the message "Reading Text Global Resources...done". I uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop in another directory but it still hangs. Does anyone have a clue as to what could be the problem? Is it a Vista problem or is it an environmental problem? I have 4 gig of memory and 200 gig of free disk space. In a nutshell I cannot get Photoshop to finishing loading.
I just bought Photoshop CS2 (the Polish version) on the internet. I am trying to install it on my HP Pavilion dv7-1080ew laptop. I can't get past the end part of the installation process, though. When it gets to registering (the very last part of installing), it starts rolling back the changes. I turned off my AV, tried running it as administrator, in compatibility mode for XP... still doesn't work. Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm having a little trouble with CS2 droplets. They work fine on one of my PCs with windows XP but when I try to use them on a machine with Vista a message comes up 'Photoshop CS2 has stopped working' This also happens when I double click on the droplet.
I have downloaded the trial version of PhotoShop CS3 but when I try to install it unzips ok from the initial setup file, but then when I go into the created folder on the desktop and run the setup program in there a dialog box appears, nothing else happens, then it disappears after a few seconds. The process for it appears then disappears in Task Manager also.
I am running Photoshop as part of the CS4 Suite on a bootcamped intel mac pro towers using Vista Business with 4 gigs of Memory. We are running in 32 bit mode because of the Apple screw up with Carbon 64 so that both sides of the house windows and mac match.
Photoshop is currently only seeing 1639 MB of the RAM instead of the performance on the Mac of about 3000 MB
So does anyone know what is going on here and how I can get Photoshop and or Vista to recognize most if not all of the RAM installed on these machines.
