PS CS2 installs on one PC - but not on another
|

| +++Bobby \O\+++ 2006-05-25, 10:17 pm |
| I have a copy of Photoshop CS2 which installs on my WinXP Pro PC - but
doesn't work properly. I've tried every trick I know of to no avail. So, I
installed it on my other PC which is a WinXP (not Pro) and it works fine.
Is there any way to troubleshoot the installation so I can figure out what's
going wrong? Both PC's have plenty of hard drive space and 512MB ram. I
got the copy directly from Adobe. To the best of my knowledge, my Registry
is clean as a whistle. The first problem I have is that, when the
installation is done, a dialog box asks me if I want to open the Readme
file. I check it off - but it doesn't open. When I try to open a native
Photoshop file, I receive a message which says the file cannot be found. My
file associations are correct. Reformatting is out of the question (too
many apps - would take months). I suspect the Registry might be the
problem - and I'm not qualified to suspect anything else. Can anyone offer
suggestions? Thanks..........

Run a full virus scan and then disable any Anti-Virus program before you
install it. Re enable the AV after you install. Another good practice
before installing new software is to make sure all temp files are
deleted from the computer. Every program uses the temp directory when
installing.

| I've already done this - in addition to manually cleaning out old Photoshop
entries (per Adobe's instructions).
