You may think you're 'saving' money, but you're really wasting both your time and money purchasing 'new' out of date and unsupported software. What computer and OS are you running? If you're connected to the internet with an out of date OS and / or missing virus protection, you're also putting your entire computer infrastructure at risk. If whoever sold you CS3 didn't provide a valid serial number and some level of satisfaction guarantee, cut your losses at the money and time wasted so far.
I am using Windows 7 and have Avast virus protection. The CS3 I bought though unsupported was CS3 Extended which seems to be an update to CS, CS2, CS3, and PS7. It opens and I can use it but shows to be a trial version. I really don't do enough editing really for even the new soft ware. I agree that using old is a waste of time for anyone who uses it a lot but a few time a year even a little becomes a lot and a waste.
