Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 removes three drives.
Computer - AMD Athlon[tm]XP 2400+; 2.00 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram.
System - Microsoft Windows; XP Home Edition; Version 2002; SP2.
80GB hard disc, 60GB free space.
Printer HP laserJet 1010
Q1. My newly purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 has removed three drives from My Computer. D:[CD drive]; E:[CD-RW drive], and F:[DVD drive].
When I removed the programme the drives were back. I installed again and the drives disappeared. I need the drives and I want to keep Photoshop Elements 4.0.
Is there a patch or an update that will stop this from happening? Any ideas or suggestions ?
Q2. If this problem cannot be resolved and I download a trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 from the internet, can I use this new product's license number to validate the trial version?
Best wishes, Brian Gargate, Co Durham, UK
May I reply here to both of the kind people who have responded to my appeal?
To Barbara. Thank you. It appears that I need someone who knows how to 'fiddle' with the registry. I lack the skill so I shall ask a friend who built this computer.
To Brian. Thank you. Yes, I do have those drives. D: for installing programmes, E: for my Nero Burning Rom [I do not use Nero any more because I have an external hard drive for backups but it is handy for copying], and E: a DVD drive. I could live without E: and F: and if that would solve the problem I would happily agree to them being removed. Right now, I am left wih only one drive, A: the floppy drive. No doubt you will have had a look at Barbara's link. It may be the answer. I'm hopeful.
Again, Many thanks to both of you. I will keep you informed.

No you will want to uninstall the software using the uninstallers installed on your computer? If you need more specific directions on how to remove the software can you please respond with the operating system you are using?

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?

I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I install it when I got it in CD form?
I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

I HAD TO BUY A NEW HARD DRIVE FOR MY LAPTOP. I AM TRYING TO RE-INSTALL MY ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 BUT IT KEEPS SAYING MY SERIAL NUMBER IS INVALID. WHAT DO I DO?
jessicar
Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
Contact Customer Care
Photoshop Elements
Adobe ID, Signing In
Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
Chat Panel
If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
Before the above consider....
a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

How do I download Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 without a CD drive? I have the access code.
I recently got a new computer that does not have a CD/DVD drive. I have the installation CD for Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 and the access code for it, but currently no way to install the program on my new computer. Is there a way I can download Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0 and then just enter my access code?

Hi
A few months ago I bought Adobe Photoshop elements 12 and Adobe premiere elements 12 to my old laptop. But a few weeks ago I had to buy a new computer and that one has no cd drive :S How can I install my programs on my new computer?
Thank youThere isn't much good news to offer. The first mention below is probably your only shot without purchase, unless you could find someone to transfer licenses with.
You won't be able to install a Windows version on the Mac unless you install some Windows emulation software on the Mac.
You won't be able to activate a Mac version of the software on the machine because your license/serial number is only valid for Windows.
CS5 is too old to qualify for a platform swap and Adobe no longer sells CS5 so you would have to take your chances with a third party vendor if you decided to purchase a Mac version.
Just to clarify, there is no such thing as a student version of the software... the license dictates the status of the software. So you won't be able to find a student version either -
How do I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on new MacBook Pro without DVD drive?
I just purchased my first MacBook Pro and am trying to get everything set up and installed. I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and retrieved my serial number and have the redemption code -- but I can't figure out how to install Photoshop without a DVD drive. The Photoshop package I purchased only provides DVDs and I don't have a DVD drive. Is there a website I can go to to install Photoshop and enter my serial number or redemption code?
Have you tried downloading the trial version and using your serial
number to activate it?
The trial version is a complete product and can be activated by
inserting the valid serial number.
Good luck. -

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 but my PC is not recognizing my CDRom and I cannot download the program. I tried copying the files on the program disc to my hard drive but get a message the installer will not work. I have the redemption code and serial numbers. Can I download the program online somewhere? If I download a trial version for instance will it allow me to enter my serial number and use it for the full program?

I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?
That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:
