Have you tried contacting Adobe support first ... I know several members who have successfully installed this...

The minimumm system req's for master collection is 2 gigs, so you are barelely able to run it and windows at the same time. Do you have quicktime installed?

What is the error you are getting on the trial?

It worked perfectly on Vista. Added virtual memory to give a boost!

Havent tried contacting adobe as they state that it isnt configured for Windows 7 and would naturally not bother

There is no error message if i try running the trial it says cannot run try reinstall or restart. If i go past that part and run Dreamweaver it goes in alright but as soon as it is in it exists without a prompt or further error message

Quicktime - No.
The 2GB was enough for vista Home premium 32bit.

No real error it just states that it cannot start and need a reinstallation or reboot

Cybor, you are dealing with a totally different OS ... just because it worked in Vista is no guarantee that it will in Windows 7... If you still plan on perusing this installation, you need to add more RAM...

OK un-install it, then re-install. but it is going to be slow because of the ram you have

The ram shouldnt really be a problem my girls PC only has 512MB Ram and it works but lags a bit.

I also did a compatiability run and admin enable but still no progress.

I uninstalled and reinstalled it couple of times even used the full removal from the adobe website and cCleaner reg cleaner! Still wont work

Ok.. you know best .... Have fun..

Adobe CS3 with Windows 7

I have run across problems using CS3 Master Collection with Windows 7 myself. I had been using a full version of it for two years and ever since upgrading to Windows 7 I have slowly been having problems with it. It seems the more updates that come out for Windows 7 the more problems I am having with CS3. The straw that broke the camels back was when I installed Office 2010, it compeltely killed any chance of using any part of CS3 expect for Acrobat 9. I unfortunately have come to the conclusion that I am going to have to either dumb down my system or break down and purchase the newer version of Adobe Master Collection. I suspect because of the plug-ins that go between office and Adobe, that microsoft just isn't supporting the older languages if you will anymore and so they can't understand each other, therefore causing the problems. I am with you that Adobe is a dead end because it is two versions old now and they aren't going to support it anymore they are just going to push for you to buy the newer version.

A good friend of mine has it running on ten different systems in his company, without issue, including systems running Office 2010. Adobe's installers are generally crap anyway, and have given many issues in the past.
