Installing Photoshop CS3 I have Photoshop CS3 ready to install, but have Elements 5 in use now. Checking the Internet, I see there has been problems with this installation. I think I should uninstall Elements 5 completely before installing CS3. Is this correct? Any suggestions or best procedures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When I installed CS2 on my Windows XP PC, I had to install a version of Photoshop 6 first (which was included) and then insert the CS2 disk & install. I already had Elements 5 running and did not make any difference. I recently bought a MAC and downloaded the trial version of CS3 from the Adobe website (since my CS2 was a PC version) and then bought & installed CS3 (MAC version) and never hit a snag. You may be safer to uninstall Elements and then re-install it afterwards. I have read about some problems with Elements & Vista. If you have 32 bit Vista, you will need to download the Elements 5.0.2 update. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3569 Hope this helps.

I have an older elements and am having no problems with it vs Vista. I don't use it much, just for photomerge, usually, so maybe that's why I haven't had a problem. I think Vista has a problem with pretty near everything known to man.

Even with its own updates: SP1, that's been announced for Wednesday, has in Beta proven to slow Vista down by an average of 15%! Can you avoid installing it?

Denny, I use multiple versions of Photoshop and Elements, and keep them all installed at the same time. While you will not be able to run different versions of the same program, you can run Elements and Photoshop simultaneously - which I do quite often on Mac and PC. There should not be issues installing both ... though I admit I am not on Vista. I use Mac OS 10.5 and Windows XP. I hope that helps!

I now have PS CS3 installed. I want to thank everyone for their suggestions. I see I did not include enough info in my question, my computer is an XP. It did not load the first time. My problem was too many things running in the start-up mode. Shut everything down and it loaded OK. Thanks again~ Denny
