Hi,
Just got a new Samsung laptop with Windows 8...this is all new to me..I'm used to my old XP laptop but it was ancient. I'm getting frustrated because the main program I wanted to use - Adobe Audition 3.0 - doesn't seem to want to install on my new laptop. The installation begins, even the official Adobe extractor makes a folder for the program files, asks me if I'd like to install Audition, I click "Yes", it starts to install....then when I get to selecting which language, I click on "English". At this point, the installer just disappears. Nothing. No confirmation of anything, no error message. I've tried this over & over...
Also I've tried to use Compatibility Mode with no luck. When doing it that way, a box comes up that says something like "Did the program install correctly...select Yes if so, or No to troubleshoot...". If I select "No", the window doesn't offer any solutions. Another weird thing--on a whim I took this laptop into a computer repair place and explained what's happening. Everyone working there had never heard of this happening. They even called their main tech who was off work that day, and he was intrigued and stumped, having never seen this kind of an issue. The best they could come up with was for me to re-install Windows 8, which seems very excessive to me. I'm told Windows 8 has some "glitches", although I have no idea how true that is.
I do understand that some very old programs aren't compatible with Windows 8. But I have heard/read multiple people say that they are using Adobe Audition 3.0 on Windows 8 and that it works fine.
I'm hoping this is something easy to figure out. I did try to search around online and here before posting this, but couldn't find a solution. Many thanks for any suggestions or input!
