Help! Impossible to uninstall Photoshop CS3

Had several problems with my Photoshop CS3 workhorse, so I decided it was time to reinstall a clean version. Following instructions regarding disabling (which I later learned was pointless) to uninstall, but uninstalling/installer in my file utility program does nothing... except lie there like a dead fish. Adobe don't suport responded to this version, so I came here for the forums, but did not find the exact issue. Apologies to meet in time and space if it is there and I'm too stupid to find it. I work on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.8.4. I tried to install the cleaning tool, but it doesn't seem to work either. Yes, I earlier thought to restart my computer and will do while I wait for some kind soul to give me a hand here. Thank you.

Hi Curt,.

Well, I finally solved the problem in a very complicated way. I loaded Photoshop CS3 from the disc, then I went to my Utilities folder and used the new program of uninstall to remove, apparently part of the problem. The uninstall program quickly disappeared again. I went to Photoshop and tried to open it... serial number and activation code were already entered in boxes that made me think that the old corrupt version was still there. I tried to open an image, Photoshop started loading and I got a "fatal error" page Not having any ideas better I tried to install it again from the disc and reproduced the uninstall application that come to create another alias and reproduced the other element in the file that generated an alias for the configuration application, then I clicked on the alias of the facility and he launched a different Setup program that offered the choice to install or reinstall Photoshop CS3 - a option I had not given before. So I clicked on reinstall and it took at least twice as long as the previous installation. And, I clicked on a Photoshop image loaded without having to ask for a serial number or activation code and it seems to work. I checked on the two things that had caused me problems, and both worked perfectly. I don't necessarily recommend this to anyone who has the same problem, unless they, like me, have tried everything and have nothing to lose. If the cleaning tool worked properly, it would probably be easier this way.  Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Uninstalling Photoshop CS3 on old computer and installing the new computer?

    Hello, I want to uninstall Photoshop CS3 from my old PC, as I just built a new PC for my home photo editing.  I want to install Photoshop CS3 on my new computer, and then install the upgrade buy Photoshop CS6.  Is I meet all the problems from a license point of view?  I need to talk to someone on the phone at Adobe and get their permission before doing this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Jason

    You don't need to install CS3 at all - unless you really want to. All that is needed is CS6 installing. It will ask you a serial qualification in the upgrade process. If you offer your activations, then call support, otherwise there is no requirement for this.

  • Help: problem importing psd Photoshop CS3 to AECS4

    Hi guys,.

    I searched some forums and found no answer to my problem.

    I'm sure it's probably somehing simple but can you please help.

    I created some files in Photoshop CS3 and imported into AE CS4 before without problem.

    It always opens in layers that I can animate.

    Today a client sent me a psd file that I can open and manipulate each layer individually perfect in photoshop CS3
    but when I open it in AE CS4, it does not open as layers.

    It opens in a single file as a single image.

    I need layers so that I can animate each layer.

    I even saved my own new copy and not the customer.

    Any ideas of what it can be?

  • Impossible to deactivate Photoshop CS3

    Hello

    I need to activate the product on a new Mac, but unfortunately, on the old PC in the Help menu Deactivate is NOT present.

    How can I do?

    I tried to activate the phone and it says that I have reached the limit of available activations

    Thank you very much

    @gener7,.

    I tried to call, but my English is not very common with technical support, so we did not understand.

    Then I tried via the support site for discussion and fortunately I have clarified everything; in my case, the problem was not the serial number, but the image used to install PS on the Mac, they gave me a link to a different version of dmg (always CS3 Ext) and with that, I could solve my problem.

    A big thank you to all

Now when I try to activate it on a new computer, it says that there are many activation and that I need to disable it on an another computer before I can activate on the new. I had a chat with customer support and they said that they do not know anything about the end of life of products. They said check here in the forums for an answer. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do

    Unfortunately the Adobe ID in the Forum has no serial number attached to it, please share the serial number a private message so that I can follow.

  • Impossible to uninstall Dreamweaver CS3

    I couldn't uninstall Dreamweaver using Windows XP "Remove Programs".  When I click on 'Delete' nothing would happen, so I tried to launch the Adobe Clean Up utility.

    Then when I clicked on 'Remove', he said he had been kidnapped and asked if I wanted to remove from the list.  Yes, I did. Now I don't know how to uninstall it.

    Any advice?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I mustn't forget to mention here, that could be managed to restore DW by reinstalling the software, so that it is correctly configured on your system. After that you can try to uninstall again.

  • Impossible to uninstall Photoshop CS

    After discovering that users will now download Photoshop CS to activate instead of using the CD, the solution includes the removal of failed Photoshop CS installation. My system Windows XP is now says there is an error using panel removal tool

    The display shows setup/setup papp and a few other gobbeldy * on the closure of the programmes, etc..,.

    tried a search for Setup and found a file named in the windows\system32 folder, but do not go further until that advises some tech here

    I believe that the Windows of Creative Suite version contained the activation technology.  It was quite a while ago so I can not entirely be to remember and much of our documentation of this period has been archived.

    I would recommend that you do the following:

    1. Try the Fixit tool offered in the #4 message
    2. Try to reinstall your installation media.  If you receive an activation error, so it is not possible to use longer the Creative Suite.
    3. Download and install Creative Suite 2 by the guidance offered in the #1 Message and 8.  You can find the serial number to use on the download page.

    The reason why we published versions of products volume licensing Creative Suite 2 was to allow users who bought software thanks to our activation technology to be able to continue using the software.  In your case you will get an upgrade to Creative Suite 2, but my assumption is that we did not have a volume license offering for Photoshop CS, as it was the only product affected by this issue.

    Your friend cannot play with the sliders in highlight compression or equalize histogram - because there are no sliders to play with, have never been, will never be one.

  • Impossible to install ps CS3

    basic problem: impossible to install Photoshop CS3, he keeps asking for Illustrator CS4 disc.

    History:

    I bought photoshop cs3 earlier. Upgrade to a better computer and bought Illustrator CS4. I've installed illustrator CS4 BEFORE installing Photoshop CS3 on the new machine.  When I went to install PS CS3, he asked the IllCS4 disk. I put in there and nothing. Round and round. ask PS CS3 disk, then the disk bad CS4 etc...

    Read the forums, found a thread on uninstall CS4 wrong then try PS CS3.  I did it. I used the WinCS4CleanUpDatabaseUtility and used the Windows Installer Clean up utility as well.

    However, after all this, when I try to install PS CS3, it continues to ask me for the bad CS4 disc.

    Can anyone please help.

    Thank you

    Please check, if you really deleted applications Adobe (including Adobe Reader etc) and the caps.db is deleted. It can be found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps. It records everything installs / uninstalls, so if it #s still here, he would still have information about previous CS4 stuff that could adversely affect obtaining CS3 on the system.
