Premiere Pro CS3 on Windows 7 64 Home premium

[richard p. t.]

Hello all,
is anyone here using Premiere Pro Cs3 on Windows 7 home premium? I need a version of Premiere Pro that works on both XP and on Win 7. My copy of prem pro 2 doesn't. I believe CS4 does work on Win 7. Googling this question gets a few mixed results, but nothing really confirmed one way or the other. Any one here been able to do it?

Hi Richard,

Not the full answer you are looking for, but I have Prem Pro CS3 running on Win 7 32 Home Premium. I have a dual boot machine with Win 7 64 Ultimate, but not tried to install PP CS3...I can give it a go if no one here has a more definitive answer.

For what it is worth, I do have Photoshop CS2 running in both environments.

Thanks Frank,
that's a start. I think the 64/32 thing might be the clincher though. But it is worth knowing that it works with 32 bit win 7.
cheers,

Hi Richard,

Just got around to trying to install PP CS3 on Win7-64 Ultimate, it failed to install.

Hi Frank,

I hope its failure hasn't/doesn't cause you any problems.

It shouldn't do. I only ocasionaly boot into 64 bit for tests. When I built my new PC I went for 6GB of RAM because the CPU needs three banks. The only way to get at all of it though is to run in 64 bit mode. However, the hassle of finding 64 bit drivers for all my stuff became too much and apart from extra memory I couldn't really find any practical benefit in sticking with 64 bit...most programs which say they are 64 bit compatible are only 32 bit anyway, so don't run any better than in Win 7 32 bit.
