Cjb24 in what way is the link not working?  Do you receive a specific error message?  Have you utilized a different web browser?

Jeff,

I was able to download, but the setup does not accept my serial number from my PC version.  Any other advice?

Cjb24 your Creative Suite 3 serial number is OS specific.  If you have a license for a Windows version of Photoshop CS3 then you will be unable to utilize that license on Mac OS.

I would recommend setting up a virtual machine with Windows 7 and installing Photoshop CS3 within the virtual machine.

You can verify the operating system of your Creative Suite 3 license by viewing it under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
