Hi guys,
I've installed Photoshop CS3 on a users Windows 10 64Bit machine. It's gone on fine- I had to get a special serial number and installer from Adobe support as the activation servers have been taken offline for it, which is fair enough for an old product.
The issue I'm having now with it is that even though it's installed correctly with the serial number provided whenever I launch Photoshop it opens up and a white dialogue pops up with a "Page can't be displayed" error with no exit options in the corner. Photoshop has to be ended in task manager to get rid of it.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same issues or could point me into the right direction with this.
Cheers
That looks like the registration screen.
You can get rid of it by:
1. turn off your internet connection
2. start photoshop cs3 as an administrator
Right click on the photoshop cs3 shortcut and click on Run As Administrator
3. You should now get the whole registration screen.
Click on Never Register
You only need to run cs3 as an administrator once to make the Never Register stick and then start cs3 as normal
afterwards.

Wow! I don't think I'd find my CS3 installers if you offered me money
I suspect it's the welcome screen that is going nowehere.
Try getting past it by creating a new document with the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+N)

Hi Master,
Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I know it's old school but use what you know huh
CTRL + N didn't do anything in the window. None of of the menus are responsive in Photoshop while this white box is on. I've attached a snippet here
Installed GIMP as a temporary solution
