I have PS CS3 operating on Windows Vista Home Basic (Dell laptop). I installed CS3 about a month ago and it has worked perfectly until now. (I am NOT running the trial version). All of a sudden when I attempt to launch the program it opens and then closes within a split second. (It is not running in the task manager.) I am a photography and NEED my PS to edit photos. I’m in a crunch b/c I have wedding invitations to design and get ordered. Can anyone help me out? I’m desperate!!

Thanks!

Unsupported. Home Premium is the minimum for Vista.

It came with Home Basic. And it was working just fine until today. I have unistalled and reinstalled and still no fix. I’m assuming Vista doesn’t support PSE 2.0?

Thanks!

It came with Home Basic.

Upgrade it Home Premium or downgrade (or as some would claim, upgrade) it to XP.
