BJMoose Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 For your system, just look for appleSMBIOS.kext v1.0.6 and replace the current one the extensions folder. Repair permissions and all your CS3 stuff should work.

gtemkin Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just had the same problem with Photoshop CS3; using a $199 upgrade package; upgrading from Photoshop 7.0 It crashed right after entering the serial number. I'm running Leopard 10.5.4 and I fixed the problem by replacing the AppleSMBIOS.kext with one I got off my Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD. I used Pacifist to grab a fresh copy of AppleSMBIOS.kext. Used OSx86 Tools Utility to install the new kext. Worked like a charm and was very easy.
