That works with CS3 as well - just tried it!

With CS2 if the system date on your computer is after Adobe stopped active support of the package, even if it is a new installation and there are updates available on the server, it simply won't look for them. You can fool it by temporarily setting the system date back prior to the date and time that official updates terminated, at which time Adobe updater will actually download and install all previous updates. I don't know if that works with CS3 but it worked with CS2 up to a year ago. There were a lot of bug fixes in CS2's lifetime, I can only assume that it's the same for CS3.

Brian & Mark figured it out - I updated ACR and it solved the problem. As Mark notes the fresh download of CS3 is not updated. Though I have activated the software it reports that there are no available updates. But it seems to be working fine - hopefully Bob S. can tell his friend.

Now this is interesting....

That file opened fine in my desktop PC's copy of CS3.  So, just for
laughs I installed CS3 on my Laptop and...

... the file wouldn't open ('wrong type of document' message).

All very odd.

Here's a thought: Adobe frequently issues updates for its software
(it's so common there's a joke about the Adobe Updater software
needing updates). If Photoshop CS3 ever received such updates they
wouldn't be present in a new, fresh install from the original disc.
(and knowing Adobe they won't be available anywhere now.)


Good point.

I checked the version of Camera Raw installed on my desktop CS3 - it's 4.6. The fresh CS3 install on the laptop had version 4.0 of Camera Raw. So, I updated it to version 4.6 and Mark C's problem file now opens OK on both the desktop and laptop machines.
