Can't load cs2 on windows 8

Was running photoshop cs2, got new computer running windows 8, can't load old software and can't afford new upgraded software, any versions I can download for free or CHEAP?

Just to be clear, what do you mean by; "can't load CS2"?
What happens? Do you get error messages? Does the media just not read?
Are you aware of THIS?
It is pretty much a case-by-case basis, but I do know people running CS2 on Windows 8 under compatability mode. More info would be helpful.

  • Can't Load CS2 on to OS X, Version 10.5.8.

    What's up with that?
    There should be an install icon immediately visible, but there is none.  Does this mean I can't run CS2 on this machine, a Macbook Pro?
    Note: It loads just fine into my Dell PC.
    If CS2 won't work, what version of Photoshop do I need: CS3, CS4?
    Pls advise.

    Tai:
    What about buying an additional "seat" -- an extension of the license that
    allows one more user?  My wife has CS2 installed on two MACs, so maybe we
    could just extend it so her assistant could use it. 
    In fact, they gave me a free "seat" for CS2 I have, the PC version.  What
    they neglected to says was that it DOESN'T WORK for a MAC! 
    Thanks for hipping me to this critical fact.  You'd think smart folks at
    Adobe would have pointed this out. 
    Cheers,

  • Can't reset CS2 preferences Windows XP-photoshop behaving badly

    Needing to reset because Photoshop is locking up, tools and plug ins not preforming as they should. Did a search for *.psp files and didn't find any, but I'm not sure I searched correctly.  I tried the CTL ALT SHFT at startup and I am not given the choice to reset preference in "General, Compatibility or Security" tab.  "Security"  tab gives warning that permissions can't be displayed because they are different between LR and Photoshop CS2....
    Additional problem that I have posted before and have not received answer: From Lightroom 2.4 opening an image by "edit in photoshop", results in a partial font list superimposed over the image.  Closing it out then re-opening within photoshop, the font list usually disappears.  Opening image directly from photoshop, no font list is superimposed.
    I tried Relaunch and Optimize in LR, defragged, etc.
    Please help!

    When you get the timing wrong on the Ctrl+Alt+Shift method you get the Properties dialog which is what you are seeing. You have to be really quick to get the Reset Prefs box but it can be done, I tried it until I got it.
    As far as deleting the files manually, you have to make sure in Windows Explorer that hidden files are showing and file extensions (the bit after the dot) are also showing. Then you will find the files, which are also identified in the FAQ here:

    Forget it with the disk, that's for a Repair Installlation and won't affect the preference files.

  • Can't load organizer in windows 7

    Just loaded windows 7 and installed photoshop elements 9.
    Organizer is not loading.
    First try I had a error 1935 and this went away after I deleted som antivirus software that came in from the net.

    Update your .netframe work to version 4 (see other help posts by apple support)
    Follow the instructions on this link, basically un-install everything, remove programs that says they are made by apple inc. (using add remove program)
    http://www.reimageplus.com/fix-windows-127-error/   (Many thanks to reimageplus.com)
    You will also need to check and verify that the following folders have been removed:
    C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    C:\Program Files\iTunes
    C:\Program Files\iPod
    C:\Program Files\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
    dont forget to remove icloud also
    you dont need to delete your itune music library though
    If any of these folders still exist, delete them along with their contents. (if you cant delete them, right click and go to properties and then security and change the control of the fold to you)
    do this for files under  program files and program file (x86) on your computer
    once you have deleted everything, restart your computer. Then I repaired my registry using a registry repair program.
    Important:-  instead of installing itunes I installed quick time, which installs apple application support (this is the corrupt file which is causing all the issues)
    i then installed itunes and it all worked fine,
    should take no longer than half hour to fix
    hope this helps

  • Can't load I Tunes-Windows installer program missing?

    When trying to load I Tunes on my PC (Windows 7 Home Premium) an error mesage stops the download. It states that "Window installer package - A program required to install could not run."

    Repair your Apple Software update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

  • Can not load itunes on Windows 7 ? Error message says, Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall and re-install. "  This does not help.

    How can I solve this issue?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Installing CS2 Into Windows 7

    Has anyone successfully installed CS2 into Windows 7? I've tried to install, but keep getting told that the serial number is incorrect when I know that not to be the case.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am glad I read your response, Bob.
    I too had the same problem. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried loading CS2 on our new system but mistakingly entered MY name instead of my wife's registered name, and CS2 refused to run. But up to that point it appeared it -might- have been able to run successfully. That was Problem Number-1.
    Here's Problem Number-2: Upon atempting to un-install the CS2 program the following message appeared: "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information, Missing Resources Library." What could be worst? I can't even un-install the software!!!
    I called Adobe and was dumb-struct at being informed "...we don't support CS2 anymore"! That, in my opinion, is absolutely foolish and non-scenseical on their part because in the least, they could have supported me and prepped me to upgreade and purchase CS3 or 4.
    I also tried to re-install CS2, again, on top of its un-installable condition and got the same message as above "Missing or Invalid.... " And so I remain stuck, three (3) months now without a clue as what to do to get out of this conditon.
    I even -manually- deleated as many files as I could in the CS2 Programs File directory in an attempt to get some of the "nay-sayers" un-install obsticals out of the way but, I still can't remove the program, nor re-install over it.
    I was able to load CS2 into Window 7's Virtual PC mode. But it can not run there as efficiently as I imagine it might in Programs (x86), or in 64 bit mode if it were indeed possible.
    I refuse to believe that I alone, out of millions of CS2 users, am in this problem alone.
    I need help Abode! I need help with this Bob! I need help from anyone who can help me get out of this mess. Thank you.

  • CS2 for Windows - cost of upgrade to CS6

    Can I upgrade CS2 for Windows to CS6 for Windows 7, and what is the cost?  I am also currently subscribed to CC for the Mac, which will be continued. Thank you.

    Apologies, I should have been clearer at the outset.  I do all my bird photography on the Mac OSX platform via a desktop as well as a MBP when away.  So, I have already two computers authorised as required and limited to.  Lately, I have started astrophotography and the majority of my software is Windows 7 based, thus for ease I acquired a third computer, a PC laptop, for this purpose.  I did start with Photoshop for Windows and upgraded as far as CS2 before changing to CS3 for the Mac and eventually (CS4, 5, and 6) to CC for the Mac.  The question now is:  can I deauthorise the Mac laptop in order to authorise the PC laptop and change back and forth as many times as I wish, and as often as I want?  I am the only user, of course.
    In reply #4 above, I had decided to simply copy my files onto an external drive and work off that in CC on the Mac, as I have been doing.  Seeing I had CS for Windows in the fist place years ago, I was trying to find a solution at little or no cost to me, to upgrade that Windows version, but I guess it's not possible, unless your answer to my question above is affirmative. Many thanks for your help.

  • Loading CS2 from laptop with Windows XP to new laptop with Windows 7

    Hello, I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, and am wondering if I can install my CS2 software onto it. I had it on my old laptop which had Windows XP. I don't see
    Windows 7 on my installation CDs as an OS I can use the software with. Not wanting to buy all new as I am a novice user, not a professional graphics person. Can I
    load this version on my new laptop?

    i tried changing normal to maximised; no effect. either i need also to change the numbers (to match a maximised window) or ff ignores this. i want to be able to open different sites in different windows, and not have to maximise them manually. ff never used to be broken, why break this? what possible security flaw was fixed by screwing up ff to never open maximised unless u hack it or delete certain config files?
