Just loaded the CS4 trial and it seems to be working normally. Missing alot of fonts, but I expected that.
My change to Windows 7 is costing me some unexpected software upgrades and my flat bed scanner is unsupported. So some new hardware too.
Adobe Photoshop CS4. From there you can try the trial version.
Depending on your scanner, this may help...VueScan Scanning Software. It worked for my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000.
I downloaded the CS4 trial and installed it and it ran okay. Guess I'm forced to upgrade. Funny thing is, I installed my 4 year old version of Photoshop Elements 5.0 (3 versions old) and it ran fine, but my one year old version of CS3 will not.
I'm currently using CS3 and Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator all work great. Personally, I don't really see a big difference between CS3 & CS4, and the CS3 install file is much smaller.
I have an open case with Adobe Tech Support regarding all of this. Says they are supposed to reply within 24 hours I think. Haven't heard anything in 3 days.
Thanks for the suggestion on the scanner - I'll give it a try. Someone else told me that several software programs may import from a scanner, even though you can't get the scanner software to run it independently.
I am running the same system as prodad and currently going through the same hoops. Currently I am annoyed as can be that this appears to be a system specific error and that HP and adobe want to charge +60$ to access any tech support on it. I will post here if I figure out what to do, I would ask you do the same prodad.
