Can not CS2 in LR

When I want to edit in CS2 I go in LR to "Photo > edit in Photoshop CS2.
However CS2 is not opened.
I read about getting into the regedit.exe but this is perhaps ok for software specialists but not for a photoamateur who happens to use LR.
I feel that Adobe has to give clear instructions (step by step) how to solve this problem.
I purchased LR, Adobe has to deliver a functioning LR that does not require software knowledge to make it work.

I should have been a litle clearer. I had PS7 installed when I installed the beta Lightroom and it found PS7.I thought if I'm going to to try to enter the 21st century I'll have a look at elements as I was struggling to justify the cost of CS. Any way, bought Lightroom, elements demo timed out so I uninstalled it. Now Lightroom wont find PS7. Tried the reg hack suggested but still no luck. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled. Lightroom still doesn't see PS7. I can select it as the second option but it would be nice if Lightroom would find it as before.The point is though why in a brand new peice of software are we being forced to hack our system registries to get the bloody thing to do what it's supposed to!!
I am considering buying CS. I had been using PS7 for years working with scans from negs and prints but have only recently made the jump to Digital SLR.

  • CAN NOT OPEN  CANON EOS20D  RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

    I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

    You downloaded, extracted (unzipped) the Camera_Raw_3_7.zip and copied/moved the Camera Raw.8bi to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2 (windows 64 bit system)

    Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

    The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
    (photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
    Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
    If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
    You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:
    Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products

  • I can not uninstall CS2 because it never finished installing

    I have been attempting to install Adobe Acrobat CS2 on my Windows Vista computer. I was told that my original Acrobat 7.0 program had problems and would not work so I was told to download the CS2 program. Everytime I try to install it I get an error message stating that it can not access the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX. This folder is a "read only". It has 4 files in it AcroIEHelper.dll, AcroPDF.dll, GbDetect.dll and pdfshell.dll. I can not delete any of these files.
    I was sent an e-mail that took me to a "discussion" telling me to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 using Control Panel - Add Remove Programs. However, since the program never fully installed it is not listed on Add Remove Programs. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this program to work?
    Microsoft has told me to use the cmd prompt and the command rd  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0" /s /q  to delete the folder, but it does not work. All I get is "Access is Denied"  I've tried using the Explorer but am told that that procedure needs permission. I'm logged in as the Administrator.

    See the response to the other thread you started.
    Acrobat 7 is not compatible with any 64-bit version of Windows.
    And there is no such beast as Adobe Acrobat CS2. The version of Acrobat that came with CS2, if I recall correctly was Acrobat 7 Pro.
    And for that matter, current Macintoshes won't be able to run any CS2 software either. You are talking about software that is at this point 10 years and anywhere between 4 and 6 versions out of date.

    PS:     I suspect that you never did have Acrobat 7 or Creative Suite 2 installed on this VIsta x64 system. What was it previously installed on? The only systems that supported Acrobat 7 under Windows were Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 2000. And what media are you using to install the software from? The original media and software for these versions do no longer install and activate.

    Hi joej49728017,
    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
    Please refer to the following KB doc.  Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The above link will help you to  install a special version that does not require activation.
    In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

  • CAN NOT OPEN EOS20D  FILE

    HAVE PHOTSHOP CS2. IN PAST NO PROBLEM OPENING CANON EOS20D FILE. PROBLEM WITH PC AND HAD TO REINSTAL VIA ADOBE WEBSITE. NOW CAN NOT OPEN FILE. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE

    Bit of back ground.
    Originally had Windows Vista 64 bit and installed Potoshop CS2 from CD.
    This worked fine. I then upgraded my PC and changed the hard drives to
    solid state drives and Windows 7 (64 bit) and Potoshop CS2 from CD.  This
    worked fine. My PC was infected with a virus so bad that I had to scrub the
    whole PC and re-install every programme, one of which was Potoshop CS2. At
    this point I could not activate Potoshop CS2 as the activation server was
    shut down. I therefore had to download from the Adobe website. This is when
    the problems seem to start.
    Not only can I not view the CR2 files taken with my Canon EOS 20D but I can
    not view JPEG nor TIFF files that I have also saved to hard drive. The odd
    thing is though, I can view photos taken by my iphone 4S.
    The Camera Raw plug in is 3.0 but I have added as you have suggested the
    3.7 version and I still get the same result.

  • Can not scroll in Indesign CS3

    I am new to InDesign and I find this very frustrating. I can not use my scroll when I am in InDesign CS3 at certain times. Once I loss the capabilities, I have to close the document and reopen it. I can scroll while in other programs like illustartor and photoshop, internet explorer, but not indesign.
    I am on Windows XP and have a Microsoft wireless laser Mouse 5000. The mouse works in other applications.
    Thanks for any help!

    You might try looking for another mouse driver. This was a common complaint in CS2, but less so in CS3. My Logitech mouse won't scroll in Illustrator, but you say yours will. Go figure.

  • Printer went offline after a print was interrupted and I can not get it to work again.

    Printer had been set up and was working but a paper interruption stopped it and I can not get it to print or remove the offline setting

    That will probably be because its their licence and will be registered to them..??
    You won't be able to open CC files in CS2, that is to many versions back.

  • Can not search.

    I have PS CS2 and bridge 1.0.4.6 on Mac G5. I can not search for keywords. I always get a blank search result page. How do I reload just Bridge and not PS. This problem started when I back up my bridge files to another hard drive. Could I have broken the links? I can not do searches for new keywords either.

  • Can not get CS5 to accept plugins

    I have just updated to CS5 and can not get Noiseware into CS5 as I did in CS2.
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
    Thanks,
    JB

    It's not surprising that an old plugin's installer would not recognize a previously unknown new version of Photoshop.
    I take it you uninstalled CS2...  I usually advise people to retain their old installs precisely so things like this can be worked out.
    Did the Noiseware plugin install into its own Program Files subfolder?  Specifically, can you find one or more .8bf files on your hard drive that are the result of the Noiseware installation?
    If so, you can try pointing Photoshop CS5's Additional Plug-ins Folder at the above location.  Find this setting in the Preferences, Plug-Ins section.
    Failing the above, a longshot might be to rename the Photoshop folder to look like CS2 briefly, run the Noiseware install, then rename it back.  That might not work if the plugin installer is accessing the registry to determine the location of Photoshop.  If that's the case I may be able to advise you on a workaround that can fake the registry entries as well.
    -Noel
    P.S., Basic question, but did you check to see if the plugin author is offering a CS5-compatible update?

  • I can not register my old version CS on my new Windows 7 computer

    I had this version CS since I took a class at the local coollege. Then I had Windows XP.  Now I have Windows 7 in a new machine. The windows program includes the ability to run OLD program for Windos XP on this Win 7. Howeve,r I can not register the product automatically and by phone there is no help. The program will run OK but I only have 28 days before it stops working.  HELP

    I don't know if you can use the special version of CS2.  Apparently you need to follow the instructions very carefully.
