Well i tried updating my photo shop and it than restarted and i became impatient and stopped it after it restarted. later i tried to use photoshop and it said "Adobe photoshop CS3 has stopped working" and than under "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly windows will close the ptogram and notify you if a solution is available" so i than tried to reinstall with out uninstalling first and it still didn't work. does any one know how to fix this? your help would greatly be appreciated!
#1
uninstall i guess, then reinstall. sounds like you hosed the installation but good.
#2
ok so uninstall it all than re install
#3
Before you do anything (like an update) make a restore point in Windows
#5
ok i was going to use the Cs3 cleaner but it said it could delete stuff off my hard drive so should i make a restore point before using it?
#6
start> programs> accessories> system tools> system restore> create restore point.

takes about 1 minute.
#7
and it's doubtful that you'll need it, but can't hurt to make a restore point.
#8
ok i did the the cs3 clean but it still didnt work. i left adobe reader 8 in there to should i uninstall that first before i do that?
#9
again, couldn't hurt.

slightly off topic but, i've had nothing but grief from reader 8. i can't view pdfs in the browsers anymore, it just hangs and hangs. maybe it'll come up eventually but after a minute, if i need to see it bad enough i'll kill acro32 process and just download it and view it from the desktop.
