Hello

I’m not a graphics professional. If my post is off topic or lame, I apologize and ask to be redirected to the proper forum.

Years ago I bought Photoshop 3. Sometime after that I uninstalled it. Recently I’ve found that I’m going to need Photoshop again. I noticed that the upgrading to CS is only $169, but I figured I needed the original disk (not just the serial number), so I dug it out just now and re-installed on my new computer. But it doesn’t run on the new computer (AMD chip, Win 2K). When I try to start Photoshop, a dialog pops up that says "There is not enough memory (RAM) to launch Photoshop". But that can’t be right, because there’s a gig of RAM, and I’ve never had a memory problem.

My first choice would be to get version 3 running. Any ideas as to what’s wrong?

My second choice would be to buy CS and get it up and running. Do I need a good installation of 3 to install CS, or just the serial number?

Thanks,

Ernie

Old windows programs choke at the large amount of ram we have today. Painter Classic is another example.

The CS install will just look for the previous version of PS3…it will not need it running. CS will come with its’ own serial number.

You will need Windows 2000 and XP…CS won’t install on older Windows 95/98/Me

As with Windows XP, you will also have to call Adobe to activate the product…you have 30 days to do this.

Any further problems call Adobe Support, they will assist you on this.

I’m not sure if you can upgrade from 3 to CS. I think you will have to buy the full version to skip that far up the ladder.

Nope, you CAN upgrade from 3 (or even earlier). No problem.

You can upgrade from version 3 , but you have to call adobe support and give them the serial number and then they generate another number for you to input in order to upgrade to another version. I know, because I have version 3 and upgraded to version 7 and cs. After version 3, its not necessary to call when upgrading.
