Anyone else had any luck installing Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7?

I just get an error about 5 seconds after starting the install stating that "Some components cannot be installed"

Any ideas people?

I had this problem too. Did you run both extractors? There should be two of them ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1 and PHSPCS4_Cont_LS1. Run both of those, extract contents to the same folder, and then run the normal setup.exe file.

Nothing like this in what I downloaded from Adobe :(

i install it on my 32bit version and it works fine but I was using the trail version. The issue maybe some of the files are irrupted. Go download the trial version from adobe and see if it works.

For all of you that are having problems installing PS CS4.. sounds that It Is a problem with the windows Installer:

There Is a way to make It work:

1. Execute regedit (with Administrative rights)

2. Search for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Wi ndows\DisabledSessions

3. Rename: MachineThrottling for _MachineThrottling

I was trying to find all the reg keys Adobe CS4 created during install earlier, anyway, first install worked fine (but I had to close Opera after I started monitoring the registry and what not), so I scrapped those results, uninstalled CS4, when I went to reinstall it, I had the same error (2nd install) as the OP.......after rebooting though, it installed fine.

Anyone else having issues with the ruler? The mouse display on the ruler lags a lot for me. Especially when I move it slowly. This is extremely annoying and really hinders my ability to work in it properly. Tried both the 32bit and 64bit Photoshop and I have the same issue in both.

I also noticed that GPU acceleration is not working. Is it working for anyone? If yes, what did you do to get it working? I'm using a ATi 3870.

Dannyarr,

CS4 is working superbly here (64 bit). The hardware acceleration is great.

On my previous system (XP64) I could get it to work '50%' (enabled but crappy performance and a lot of issues).

I have a 8600M GT on Dell Vostro 1500...installed the WDDM 1.1 (beta) drivers from Windows Update!

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.

      I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
