Adobe Activation Issue on Windows 7

I am trying to run Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7.  I ran the install .exe file in compatibility mode and run the photoshop.exe file in compatibility mode as well.  After the installation is complete, I can open Imageready with no issue, but cannot use any of the features since CS2 is not activated.  When I try to open Photoshop I receive the following error:
Adobe Activation
Sorry, a serious error has been detected.  To continue using Adobe Photoshop, please reinstall the application. 
I have gone as far as uninstalling all of my Adobe products and removing the user preferences and then installing CS2 first, to no avail.  I would like to activate my product but the window to allow me will never open. 
Thank you in advance for your help!

Given your wording, I'm not sure you understand that UAC causes you to run applications without privileges, even though your account may be a member of the Administrators group.
Have you tried running Photoshop "As Administrator"?
Also, it seems to me Marian Driscoll has been saying that one of the versions of Photoshop - possibly Photoshop CS2 - might need to be installed with a forced short folder name.  Maybe she'll respond on here and confirm that.

  • Adobe Connect issues with Windows 7

    Has anyone found a solution to the problems Adobe Connect has with Windows 7?

    Sounds like something is blocking network traffic. I'm not aware of any Windows 7 specific issues. I've used Windows 7 with connect for 2 years with no Windows specific issues.
    I'd call support at 800-945-9120 and see if they can indentify the issue and give you a resolution.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 activation issue on MAC running Parallels Desktop for Windows 7

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop running both OSX and Windows 7 (using Parallels Desktop). I installed the MAC version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 when I booted in the MAC OSX mode. I also Installed Adobe Photoshop 10 in the Windows 7 mode (running as a virtual machine using Parallels Desktop). Both programs indicate that they are activated. If I boot the computer in the Windows 7 mode (not using Parallels Desktop) and start the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 program it indicates that it is NOT activated and that I "already have two copies activated".
    Question: Since I only actually have two copies activated how do I get the program activated for the Windows 7 boot operating mode?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe reader issues windows 8 Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly compo

    adobe reader issues windows 8 Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {B708EB72-AA82-3EB7-8BB0-D845BA35C93D}. HRESULT: 0x80070422.
    I have tried many things to try to install it and I have been unsucessful. Please help I have windows 8 64bit.

    This did not resolve my issue, it actually made things worse. I did what
    you had told me to do below, and it did not work. Tried to access the
    internet to respond back to you and my computer was not able to reach the
    internet. Tried reaching adobe support and not was able to, even tried
    calling was on the phone for 20 minutes and no one answered. I was not able
    to re install windows. Contacted Asus from another computer and they were
    not able to help me reinstall windows They had asked me to ship my computer
    back to them, due to them not being able to resolve the issue and help me
    reinstall windows. I luckily had a backup on my external hard drive and was
    able to reinstall windows 8. Spent over an hour and half trying to fix
    that. Here I am still not able to install adobe reader. I was very unhappy
    with what I was told to do and it gave me this issue.
    ·  Open an Administrator command prompt: Right-click Start > All Programs >
    Accessories > Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator. Click Allow
    for the elevation prompt
    ·  In the command prompt, type the command below:
    fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
    The line above assumes that C: is the drive in which Vista is installed. If
    it is installed on another drive like D:, change the drive letter
    appropriately.
    ·  Restart the system.
    ·  Install Acrobat or Adobe Reader again.

  • Adobe PDF Preview Handler Issue in WIndows 8 64 Bit Machine - After installing Adobe Pro 11.0.10

    Hi Guys ,
    We are facing a serious issue with Windows 8 and Adobe PDF Preview Handler . We are using the PDFPrevHndlr.dll from Adobe to show PDF Previews in our application. It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista and for some reason it is not working in Windows 8.1 64 bit machines after upgrading to Adobe Pro 10.0.10 .  Please help us figure out what is the root cause of this issue .
    During a close analysis we have found that the PrevHost.exe( Windows component ) is failing soon after it is being invoked . Any help in this is much appreciated.
    Regards

    You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.

  • Windows Server Activation Issue

    Hi all,
    Can any one please help me in resolving an issue with Windows Server 2012 License Activation using KMS. While executing the command slmgr /dlv or any other parameter I am receiving an Error 0xC0000022. After checking the event log I saw the Software Protection

  • Windows 7 - Continuous redeployment time/activation issues

    Hello,
    I have about 9 classrooms that have from 10 to 25 computers in each along with 30 laptops for offsite use in which the software installed on them changes almost daily depending on what class is being taught. Currently we have been using Comodo Time Machine
    on the laptops and previously on the desktops although we are using windows deployment server on the desktops now. My issue is that every time we reimage the systems we are running into activation issues. This system was put into place before I got here and
    am trying to find the right direction to head into. It looks like the current windows deployment images sysprepped so that is why they are coming overdue right out of the gate. We do have licensing through the Microsoft Partner Network although im awaiting
    access. Staying in the trial zone of the install is what they have been trying to do although the image was not properly configured and is out of date once its put on the system and the black screen comes up. Comodo is quick but lacks the ability to stay current
    and only allows for a set amount of images due to space and can lack uniformity. A fast re-image speed would be beneficial but the speed of the deployment server has been working since I start it the day before for the next class. To me it seems like I should
    fix the image on the deployment server and see where that takes me. Does anyone have any experience of this type of setup or know any other options? 

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, you want to auto activate the Windows during the deployment, right?
    If yes, What's the type of your license?
    If you have KMS server, you don't need do any thing.
    If you have MAK license, you cannot set input the key in answer file to activate.
    In addition, what the deployment tool did you use?

    Hello,
    what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
