1. Re: cs5 master collection error code 7 I'm not alone
swong6 May 25, 2010 4:53 PM (in response to lou4uandme)Like yourself I was hesitant about installing CS5 considering I already have a rock solid CS4 Design Premium already in use. I took note of the many posts on this forum about installation issues hence I refrained from installing CS5 "on top" of a previous version of CS4. Purchased a 1-terrabyte Western Digital OEM sata drive (7200 rpm with 32Mb cache) and installed a clean copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. CS5 Design Premium installed uneventfully and I've been acclimating myself to all the new features. Bob Levine suggested 64-bit o/s over the 32-bit version and I must admit I haven't seen any of the dreaded "out of memory" screens typical of our CS4 workstation along with posted comments from others.
Only issue I am fighting right now are boot issues when I upgraded from 6GB DDR3 to 12 GB DDR3 system memory on a Asus P6T motherboard. I suspect I might have firmware/motherboard issues ...... one removed 2-gig memory mode and the boot issues go away.... go figure? I've also lost the ability to mildly overclock my i7-920 which breaks my heart. Stay with 6GB and overclock at the expense of opening multiple apps and lower distill times or 12GB and lose some insane machine cycles?
