My Photoshop CS4 trial ended, and i erased it. But now Photoshop CS3 Extended will not work. I tried reinstalling it, but it keeps telling me to insert the CS4 disk. I removed Photoshop CS3 and tried to install it from scratch, but it still asked me to insert the cs4 disk. Is there anything I can do?

robert,

When you say you "erased it", did you use the uninstaller utility or did you literally just drag PS to the trash?

I removed Photoshop CS3


Same comment as in post #1.

CS3 and CS4 should never, ever, under any circumstances be dragged to the trash like you could with earlier versions. You have to use the Adobe Uninstaller.

It's a different world now.

CS3? How did you erase it?

What system maintenance have you done?

Since you did already there are clean u script for both that will remove some important files that are still there that are preventing reinstalling.

Download the Clean uP Scripts and run them then do a search for CS 3 and 4 and remove anything that you find related unless you have other CS 3 and or Cs4 apps installed.

Then trash the Photoshop Settings folder from the user's Preferences and the com.adobe.photoshop.plist file from that same directory restart the computer, just for the fun of it and the reinstall CS 3.

Then enroll in a class on how to do things in a n orderly fashion and another for reading, any language will do.

Just joking, sort of!
