Cs5 master collection

Question

We are using Cs5 master collection in a classroom environment but today all elements of the collection will no longer run they stop with error 131:4.
Even a new setup now gives the same error.
Does anyone know of any registry tweaks to resolve this?

glaustin,
Like yourself I just finished installing CS5 on both my home pc and company issued Dell D620 laptop.  As luck would have it, my actual design pc is my home pc which is a home built mildly overclocked i7-920 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a Adobe supported NVidia GTS250 video card and a cost effective 500GB 32Mb cache sata drive.  I was so impressed being able to use all the CS5 enhancements (puppet warp, content aware fill, 3D and repousse effects, etc)   I uninstalled CS3 on my laptop and used the remaining CS5 activation on my company issued Dell Latitude D620 (Windows XP SP3 32-bit) with 3GB DDR2 onboard.  As you are probably are aware, I was very disappointed with the performance of CS5 on the laptop.  CS5 requires the video processor to be OpenGL2.0 and Shader 3.0 be compliant which the D620 was NOT.  I cannot use many of the CS5 enhancements (3D,repousse, any of the OpenGL calls)  and a whole list of other CS5 ehancements on my 2-yr old Dell D620.  There are not too many laptops out there which have Adobe video compliant GPUs out there which are cost effective other than maybe the Apple Mac laptops which are very, very  cost prohibitive.
I am due for a company laptop hardware refresh in a year so I have elected to hobble along with the old Dell Latitude D620 until such time.  In the interim I did clone the D620 hard drive from the 5400rpm  40GB to a 500GB Hitachi TravelStar 7200rpm 16Mb cache.  Nothing much more I can do on the laptop since Dell provides only image CD's and I don't want to risk going from bad to worse since all the Dell laptop drivers are not available separately.  Long story short, wait until you get your new ATI video card prior to upgrading.  Prior to upgrading your video card, uninstall your old video drivers before powering down.  Then physically install your new ATI card then install your new ATI video drivers.
