CS3 Install what a nightmare!

$1500 in CS3 Web Premium software and it crashes on install! Started researching on the web and found this to be a common thing... Yes, I tried installing as an Administrator. Yes, I tried running MSCONFIG and selective startups, regedits, etc. Still no success. For a company like Adobe to ask this much money for an app and have it's installer be such a piece of crap is just plain inexcusable. So I'm down to my last resort - a fresh install of Win XP Pro. It appears to have worked, So now I can spend the next several days installing all the drivers, other apps and patches that were working just fine before I bought CS3...Thanks Adobe

What the F@#% !??

After shooting some indoor low light work with the MkII and my 24-70 2.8L, I noticed a disturbing trend my subjects were out of focus and the background was in! Could it be? My dream camera backfocusing like my measley 10d did when I first got this lens?


Just to be sure I gave the lens to a friend with a MkIIn and he got the spot on sharp test results. Arrgh! off to the shop goes my rig...
