photoshop CS3

CS4 removed as this was a typo...

i have and tested CS3 though and it works perfectly...

im running windows 7 x32 build 7000 on an HP Pavilion DV9500,
photoshop CS3 starts ok but crashes when i try to open an image file or a PSD file in it. it does this whether i run as Admin or not

on a serarate note what would be the pros/cons of having x64 as opposed to x32?

Outpost Firewall

Hello,

I would like to add Outpost firewall isn't working on 32bit version at least. I tried using compatibility mode, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? I'd like to use outpost instead of windows firewall, though I'll admit the new Windows Firewall is an improvement over the last one. Still needs work though before I feel comfortable using it long term...

If there is no way to get Outpost working, is there anyother free firewall I can get running on win7?

Thanks in advance,

actually this firewall has been there since windows server (essentially its windows server 2008's firewall [which actually does something...])

have you signed up for the outpost beta??

About compatibility with Windows 7.

i dont know if there is one currently but it states that their next beta should be compatible...

Heh, beat you to it.

 

[johngalt]

Yeah, but it is listed here - and now that I think about it it shouldn't be as it is not paid software....

 

[Airbot]

Maybe it should be moved to free programs.

Tune Up Utilities 2009 woks just fine for me; just don't use the registry defrag

 

[cynistersix]

upgrade creator 2009 to SP3 on W7 to get launch ability back to the home application.

not all the functionality works in the suite but this will let you launch the main app again.
