CS4 on Windows 8-computer problems?

I bought CS4 (Web Premium) on disk (of Adobe) several years and it works very well on my Win XP computer since then. Adobe software has all the updates, even if I use the version CS4 of Acrobat Pro (9.xx) rather than a newer version (free) Reader.,.

Unfortunately, my hard drive was fried, and I just bought a new machine of Windows 8, which will arrive shortly.  I am trying to determine:

1 are there general problems with installation of CS4 on 8 win I should know in advance?

2 are there specific procedures (deactivation?) that I need to follow before you perform the installation on the new computer?

3. other specific user questions, is there any problems with CS4 compared to Windows 8, I would meet with Windows 7.

I enhance photos and create websites to save his life, so the installation of CS4 is critical. I hope that I have made a mistake in ordering a machine Win 8...

Thanks for all the ideas.

Thank you, Jeff.  I was unable to find a specific forum for CS4 or CS4 Web Premium, only the various programs it contains. It does not seem appropriate to publish the same query in Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, bridge, Fireworks, Soundbooth, Illustrator etc etc. I expect to pointer/advice/warning about installing the entire Suite.

I am aware of the official line of Adobe on "never been tested", and I understand that. Although I have heard many stories of horror on the web, my Advisor computer make sure that there is no reason for a 64-bit operating system cannot run a 32-bit program (not the other way around though). My product is properly registered, and there are reports successful Win 8 facilities/operations machines. I am hoping for the best and will definitely post here if there are installation problems, or it goes well.  Thanks again.

  • After February 10, Windows Update computer problems

    My Acer Aspire X 1200 has been paralyzed after an update on 10 February.

    After the update has been installed, my computer has freezes which lasted from 10 seconds to 2 minutes and sometimes I got that last 5 seconds that's happened every minute frozen. The sound is also taken in the loop. I had to make stops hard just to get my computer to cut. When my computer is started after the closure, it's super slow to start my applications (MSN, Xfire, PandoraOne and box). After that, the computer will not start Firefox or Internet Explorer. If a program starts, it is almost impossible to run due to the freeze. I already have 2 system restore to before the update, and my computer works very well. I also used AVG and cyber to scan my computer for viruses, they both came up empty, but Cyber has demonstrated a lot of registry errors. The only way I can even run my computer is through safe mode. Help, please!

    It's terrible to hear, Daruma: I'm sorry to see that you are in such a pass.  I am not particularly satisfied with the aggressive way, Microsoft pushed the security updates lately.  I understand the need for them, but in Windows 7, I'm more than a little annoyed how this February as a whole has been treated.  What can be so potentially crippling must be more carefully tested, and we certainly shouldn't we have our machines impose us a reboot.  I had more than one backup at night or rip or other lengthy process completely the bomb at the last minute because my machine decided it was time to restart the machine and am tired of wait on me to answer the pop-ups of nag.

    I have some information that can help you, but it is not enough.  At this point, you want to find the smartest geek you know and bribe him with pizza and Red Bull to repair your machines.  Show them this thread too...

    (1) you are right, that if you run a 64-bit OS and try to use a 32-bit installation disk to perform a recovery, you will encounter problems.  Under XP, it's even worse: the disks that are different flavors of Windows XP (such as "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1" and "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2") are also out of sync relative to each other, making the recovery of the wrong version sometimes impossible.  HOWEVER...

    (2) with Vista and 7, Microsoft has homogenized their drives: a drive for 7 Pro can also be used to recover/repair an installation of 7 Home or Ultimate.  I don't know if it's perfect, however: you may still be unable to use a 32 bit disc to get a 64-bit machine and vice versa (which I think is what you're saying).  THEN

    (3) you may have a hidden partition on your hard drive that contains your OS and original software.  It would be visible at startup time and therefore could be extracted and transformed into a bootable OS or momentum from a pre-loaded recovery utility.  Gateway and Toshiba have done this before.  AND

    (4) you may also be able to * buy * these discs Gateway system or Toshiba.  I had to do exactly this for gateway my aunt last year, paying about $30 for a system recovery disk.  My Toshiba comes with a utility that is supposed to create your discs for you by burning them to blank media, but it was absolute garbage, ripping coasters of almost a dozen and never get the last disk made.  I got a real BS answer on why the burning utility did not work... but I was told that I could buy the discs if I wanted to.   BUT

    (5) in the worst-case scenario, all is still not lost.  If for any reason, the hard drive is watered, your hired geek can put another HDD, install an OS on it, and then focus on your current hard drive and pull all the files out of what you want to use.  Or they can simply pull on your hard drive, put it in a working machine, back up everything that was on it, then put the HD in your machine and do a full format/reinstall.  From there on, you manually load all your files back on the new facility.  It's a pain, but it will almost get you back to where you were.

    Even if you have formatted your hard drive, some files can be recovered.  I used a utility called "Restorer2K" a couple of times and it was excellent traction deleted files do market back a formatted hard drive.  Just try to do it before the installation of a new facility on top of the empty car.  ALSO

    (6) there is a little more work, but not hard work... your geek-for-hire can also take a drive in Windows, download the software and drivers for your machine and 'mind meld' together to do a custom installation disc.  It is a GREAT free tool called "nLite" (for XP) or "vLite" (for Vista and I think that 7) who will do it.

    In the future, I know that this may seem like a pain, but you might want to grab a free backup utility called Macrium Reflect.  It can be programmed to perform backups of your machine on a regular basis and even store them somewhere else.  For example, you could tell the gateway to the top Thursday night in a big fat USB, plug the USB key Thursday night and leave the front door during the night.  Then say the Toshiba to save on Friday night on the USB, Plug and let the Toshiba on it during the night... you get the idea.  This way if this happens again, at least you have a way to back up things and never lose more of, say, evidence of a week of things.

    Original title: windows takes 2-3 minutes to load dessktop

    I have trtied disabling all non-windows via MSConfig startup applications also no help

    I checked that all the processes running for any virus, malware, etc did not notice anything

  • Problems of Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows 7

    Recently got a new computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, I reinstalled Dreamweaver CS4 32 bit and copied all the files data for my sites on my old computer running Windows XP Professional. The data on the XP machine files were located in Documents and Settings / My Documents/Web site on the Windows 7 machine I put the site in Documents / My Documents/Web site.

    When I open Dreamweaver on the Windows 7 machine and use Site Manager to add the site to the repository and try to view the site in Firefox or Internet Explorer preview will load the page however no style sheet information load only the Javascript for my Gallery work. I checked the source references and it of the same on the Windows 7 machine and the XP machine. Thinking it was just a matter of a broken link source (even if the images in the Gallery appear correctly in Dreamweaver) I added images from the source to the gallery in Dreamweaver on Windows 7 computer. When I went to the preview of the browser once more the Gallery did not work.

    I also noticed that the options and sometimes signs disappear and reappear not until the program is closed and then reopened.

    Is there a compatibility issue with Dreamweaver CS4 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 which would cause this kind of problem?

  • How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

    I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

    Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank you

  • Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

    Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

    Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

    My Boot.ini file at this time was:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

    (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

    I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

    He gave me something like:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

    I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

    I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

    I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

    I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

    My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

    Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

    Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

    Someone has an idea?

    PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

    Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

    Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

    In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

    In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

    (except I've had the first installation already done).

    Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

    EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

    The desktop of Windows 7 ether net connected, I had selective network problems. I was unable to access the Web sites, but had no problem to update software and connections to the game servers.
