how to install adobe photoshop cs4 on windows 8

We looked at some of the more important options in the previous tutorial in this series, Essential Photoshop Preferences For Beginners. There's general display and interface settings, tool settings, file handling and saving options, type settings, scratch disk settings, plugin options, and more. The Preferences file is where Photoshop stores many of its performance settings. It means that the Preferences file has been damaged and the information inside of it is messed up. I don't mean it's been accepting bribes from shady business associates (or at least, we haven't found anyone willing to talk). Luc PS - Other than that, Windows 7 RC is working great! I even installed it on a netbook which has been running without a glitch so far and doesn't seem to be any slower than XP the netbook came with originally (although I must add that the number of applications that I have on the netbook is far more limited than on my desktop).Is your copy of Photoshop acting strange? Panels or menu items disappearing? Tools misbehaving? Chances are, the problem is that your Photoshop Preferences file has become corrupted. Any guidance as to what other steps I could/should take would be greatly appreciated.

The whole installation procedure just doesn't seem to carry on.

Unlike some other users on this forum, I did not get any error messages.

Invariably, the installation procedure first shows 'Checking System Profile,' and after clicking the install button, 'Preparing to install,' but after that nothing happens (I waited for up 30 minutes). One forum user here suggested running it from a DVD, but this doesn't resolve the issue either. Adobe Lightroom installed without any problem, but the Photoshop CS4 installation seems to stall at the same step each and every time (see further below).īesides running the regular Setup.exe (as Administrator), I have tried running it in compatibility mode for Vista SP1 and even XP, to no effect however. After several tries, I still cannot install Photoshop CS4 on my Windows 7 RC partition (64-bit).
