After migrating my files from an older desktop PC that used XP home addition to a new HP laptop that uses Vista Home premium 64 bit some of my program files ended up in a program file x86, while trying to clean up some of the redundant files, I deleated my Adobe folder rather than the redundant Adobe files. When I try to reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 (legal version) the disk is read, a popup window opens for the install, then when continue is clicked the window goes away and nothing else happens. Vista will do the same thing when hp auto updates are identified, click on update link, window asking for Admin password opens, after typing password and clicking continue, it just goes away to come back in an hour or so. Vista has also started to not allow me to uninstall unwanted programs. This just started in the last few days. When logged on as Admin. I still get the admin log on pop up window, but it will simply close when I type my password and click continue. Is this some of the Vista bugs folks talk about, and is there any solution to the above mentioned problems? Thanks for any help received DanO
