    Anyone know the true compatibility of Adobe cs4 with Vista 32-bit and Vista 64-bit? Adobe is vague about it on their website, but various vendors claim compatibility. I downloaded a trial to my Vista64 SP1 pc and cs4 crashed. Not sure whether to bother trying it / risking it on my Vista32 sp1 laptop. :confused

    Thanks, I guess when I said vague I meant regarding 64-bit and the fact that other vendors claim both are compatible yet Adobe address only 32-bit which made me wary, especially since there are scattered reports across the web that there are 32-bit issues. I was wondering if anyone actually has it installed and working on their vista machine. I will try it on my laptop and report back for future users.

    Hi

    Full package details for CS4 http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/mastercollection/systemreqs/

    When I trialed CS4 Photoshop on my Vista 32bit laptop it worked fine, also should work fine in 64bit too, while some of the full Master Suite apps are not natively 64bit compatible they should work fine, if it crashed what errors where seen? was it installed as Admin and in Admin account?

    Trying to re-get the trial for Photoshop CS4 but my Adobe account seems messed up as no download link shows, so I can re-test.

    I was using fireworks to create a slideshow and when I tried to play it, I kept getting something like "Fireworks has an internal error" and then my entire system freezed. Couldn't even open the software again after that without getting the same error and another freeze, so I uninstalled. Didn't even try the other apps. Thanks though, I will install on my 32-bit laptop.

    Hi Hoobie

    Finally I managed to have my account fixed and downloaded the CS4 Master edition and it installed in Vista 32bit fine, working with Photoshop CS4 now and working fine no issues.
