CS3. I used it a couple of times. Now it is not there. I reinstalled CS3 and it is still not there. I want to customize one of the templates, but cannot even create a show now. I searched all over Adobe's forums for hours and nothing. Can someone help

Also, Adobe's user interface for this and other forums is unfriendly, confusing and a step back into the Window's world. Amazing.

Thanks for any help,
John

John,

Be prepared to get pounced upon by forum users. This is exactly the forum design we love and have fought very, very hard to maintain.

Way to go buddy, you come to the forums asking for help and the first thing you do is insult everybody here.

Besides, this is not even the proper forum to discuss the forum itself. We have a dedicated forum for that:

Good luck with your issue.

You've told us nothing about your computer or its setup, what maintenance you've done or how you've uninstalled/reinstalled Photoshop, if you've reset its preferences, or if there were any changes to your computer just before you started having problems.

Thanks for the help. I apologize for insulting the forum.

What was insulting about the post? All John did was express his opinion. These forums ARE ugly. It's just that they are a far sight better than what Adobe tried to replace them with.

I reinstalled CS3 and it is still not there.

Reinstalling the application without trashing preferences is futile because you end up right back where you started.

It's entirely possible that all you needed to do was trash your preferences. (See the FAQs here if you don't know how.)

Oh, if you think this forum is ugly, just wait to see what's coming in April. :(

Here's the fix.

[Mac OSX 10.4.11, 1.67 GHz PPC G4, 2 GB DDR SDRAM, 74.41 GB]

Copy the PhotoShop installer folder from the CD to your local drive desktop.

Repair permissions.

Restart in safe boot mode (cmd+shift on chime, hold it till you get the grey Apple and spinning fan thingie below).

Double click the Photoshop setup icon and choose to remove all components.

Copy all installers for whatever version of CS3 you have from the disks to your local drive desktop. (You can copy the goodies later). Takes 7 min. in my case.

Disable all fonts in your font management software.

Restart in safe mode and repair permissions.

Launch the Photoshop installer. Install it. With the other installers on the desktop, the in

Restart normally, repair permissions. Test it. Enable fonts. Test it. Done.

I will reserve my comments on the forum since this is not the proper place.

Feel free to email me if you want to discuss. Peace.
