Droplets with CS2 and Vista

Can anyone help? I'm having a little trouble with CS2 droplets. They work fine on one of my PCs with windows XP but when I try to use them on a machine with Vista a message comes up 'Photoshop CS2 has stopped working' This also happens when I double click on the droplet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

you mean that the droplet you made on XP doesn't work on Vista? in that case you have to drag the droplet over the Photoshop icon for it to update it

Help CS2 and Vista

Hi,
I’ve been running CS2 on Vista for about 4 years on my laptop with no problems. Last weekend I got a Malware virus that had to be removed by McAfee. They made some changes to the Vista OS and also installed Service Pack 2 for Vista. Now CS2 won’t load- it asks me for an authorization code and asked that I activate by phone. The Adobe rep directed me to a support page on the Adobe website and to remove the .DAT files in the program licenses file. I tried this – no go. Also tried to run as administrator- no go.
When I looked thru my hard drive folders, I saw that I have adobe program licenses folders in TWO PLACES
C:\ProgramData\Adobe Systems\Product licenses
And
C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\ProgramData\Adobe Systems\Product licenses
I’m guessing here, but It seems like McAfee uninstalled CS2 and then reinstalled it and tried to protect my license in a quarantined folder. In any case, the files in each of the License folders are different. Should I try to move my “quarantined” files to their original folder? Would this be safe? Would this work?
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions here? I didn’t get much help from Adobe on this. They said that CS2 is too old to give phone tech support. ( even though I bought Photoshop CS5 extended and Lightroom to run on my home computer 2 months ago)
I really would like to get this back because without reinstalling from disc. I have customized many CS2 programs, brushes, actions, printer settings etc, that would be lost if I reinstall and from other forums, It seems that a lot of people are having problems installing from disc to Vista.
Help!!!

My suggestion is to forget about CS2 and Vista and give serious thought to upgrading...NOW! CS2 is totally unsupported under Vista is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing. Why now? Because CS5.5 has already been announced and in the mean time you can get the CS2 to CS5 Design Premium upgrade for $768: http://amzn.to/ekY9fa. That will make you eligible for a free upgrade to CS5.5 when it ships in the next few weeks. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html
The CS2 to CS5.5 upgrade will cost about $200 more. By buying CS5 now you'll save that $200 and get a free upgrade as well as having a supported combination of software and operating system. You'll also keep yourself eligible for upgrade pricing for the foreseeable future.

Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times

@Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times$ I have had this card for about 6-8 months and relati'vely no issues.
I just upgraded to the latest drivers 270006 and now, sometimes after exiting Turbine's Lotro, my audio plays but is very static-y, but it doesn't happen all the time. I had iTunes minimized when playing Lotro and then went to play a song after exiting. I quit iTunes and tried it again and it was ok.
This also happened in Firefox, a YouTube video had the same static audio.
It doesn't happen all the time and I do play other games, but I haven't been playing much else right now.
So right now I don't know if it's a Lotro thing or just the drivers.
I have a Q9650, single GTX260, Asus P35 board (not SLI), Vista x64, 4GB.

Carl, do let us know on the Safe Mode test... would be the first thing I'd try with what you've mentioned, but yeah, daisy chained Hubs could possibly play into it.

Kernal Panics with CS2 and Bridge?

I have had the Mac Pro for two weeks.
This AM I sent it back to Apple for a new one.
From the day I took it out of the box I experienced
K.Panics. More so while in CS2 / Bridge.
Did an erase and install to no avail - ie. ruled
out software.
Anyone else having these types of issues with
CS2 and Bridge? On another note - while doing
nothing the machine is reallllly quiet, however,
once I start working on it the drive make a
sound like a subtle static, frying rice, etc.
Is this normal?
Many thanks.

Have installed 3rd party RAM or any other internal devices?
As for your drive noises… this is normal.

Problem with CS2 and firefox 3.6x

i have a strange problem arising from a combination of photoshop cs2 and firefox 3.6x browser in XP sp3
when photoshop is minimised to the taskbar and then firefox is minimised, the focus of firefox seems to be passed to photoshop unexpectedly, turning its button dark blue and making it very difficult to maximise photoshop (repeated clicking and swapping of apps sometimes frees it)
has anyone else every experienced anything like this with 3.6?
i have installed 3.5.10 atm which works with no problem at all and holds its own focus when minimised.

None of those ideas worked. I used the Disk Utility and it indicated that all permissions were OK. I cleared the caches and cookies on Safari and FireFox, and even re-installed FireFox and deleted all of the old files associated with it. Both browsers brought up the Apple support website using the IP address, but neither browser would allow me to log into Apple support to follow this thread. I turned off the Firewall thinking it was the problem. I am running the PC and iMac through a router, then a dsl modem. Could any of those items be the problem?

P1006 - networked with XP and VIsta-64 not printing more than 2 pages

Hello - I have a dilemma with my HP P1006. I have the printer directly plugged in (USB) with my XP (32bit) PC. I have a Vista-64 PC networked with it. Both (XP-32 and Vista-64) are plugged in directly to the router (not wireless). My question is why can I not print more than two pages at a time with items opened on the Vista-64 PC? I CAN print more than two pages with items opened in the XP-32.
Things I've done:
1 - uninstalled everything & reinstalled the latest drivers for the XP-32.
2 - marked the printer as "sharing" on the XP-32.
3 - confirmed the printer is marked "enable bidirectional sharing" under the printer properties on the XP-32 PC.
Things I perplexed about:
1 - why won't items (docs, webpages, etc.) print more than two pages at a time from the Vista-64 PC?
2 - is there any reason that I should download a driver for the Vista-64 OS? If so, which PC do I download it to?
3 - I have another printer (Lexmark inkjet) connected in the same way (except it is a serial port not USB) and it can print more than two pages of a document at one time with no problem from either the XP-32 or Vista-64 PC? Why?
Any thoughts on this situation? Any suggestions are greatly appreciate.
Thank you - Jane.

Hi!
I just get a system message at teh bottom of teh screen saying "output cannot be issued " and it remains on teh same screen . I goto t-code va23 and enter my quotation number and on the top I select sales document ...issue output and select my output type and print preview or prnit , it comes out of that screen into the first screen and at the bottom gives msg "Output cannot be issued". I beleiev its not allowing the smartform to display when there are more than 2 pages , because I tried it with a contact which has 2 pages and it shows output but when I try with the one having more items i.e more than 2 pages it comes out of it . Its a smartform issue and something in the smartform is causing problem I beleive.
Thanks

Compatibility Issues with CS2 and Windows 2000 XP??? This is supposed to be THE one operating system CS2 DOES WORK ON? Can someone help - I really need my CS2 back! Thanks.

HELP! Years ago - SEVEN to be exact- I PURCHASED Adobe CS2 and used it extensively. Then I was in an accident that took five years to recover from. After my recovery I tried to get back to using my Adobe products only to find that Adobe was discouraging use of CS2 and since I OWN a LICENSE and that was the LAST version I used I wanted to begin again with a version I am familiar with. Many months later, apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted to KEEP USING CS2 and now Adobe has made it possible to download this version for PC and MAC, BUT due to OS compatibility issues Adobe continues to discourage downloading and use. HERE'S THE THING: I have the SAME SYSTEM running the SAME OS as when I first PURCHASED IT. I have downloaded the EXACT SAME VERSION of CS2. It installs fine. But I cannot OPEN the application and the troubleshooter reports there are "COMPATIBILITY ISSUES". WHY?!?!?!?!?
I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 XP. I OWN a LICENSE for Adobe CS2 and it used to run on this very same machine. I had to re-format my system two years ago so it has much more free space but when I try to OPEN the application it won't run. When I run the Windows Troubleshooter it reports system compatibility issues?! Can anyone advise me what to try now??? Thank you.

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

Problems opening and saving PNG over network with CS2 and CS3

using os10.4.11
photoshop CS2 or CS3
I've recently tried to save images in PNG format, small (no more than a couple hundred kilobytes) and found that whenever I tried to save to the server it would hang photoshop and require a force-quit. Saving the same file to the desktop works fine. Copying said file to the network and then trying to open that PNG from the server results in a photoshop hang, while opening that same file from the desktop works fine. I know all about the fact that Adobe doesn't support working over a server, but that's never been an issue at my workplace in all the years I've worked with (never had problems saving/opening any format, no corrupted files ever). If I try to open that same PNG from the server with CS2, same result. If I try to open it over the server using Photoshop CS, or version 7, however, it opens just fine. If I copy the Photoshop CS version of the PNG plugin and replace the PNG plugin installed with CS3 by default, then it seems to work and I can now open and save PNGs anywhere with no problems. Has anyone else had this problem? I can see that the file size of the PNG plugin has changed version to version, so something about it has changed. It seems as though there is something defective about the ones installed with CS2/3, and just copying the CS version into my CS3 folder clears up the problem.
Also, the problem is not limited to my computer. Other macs that try to open PNG files from the server using CS3 or 2 also hang.

Yes, we're a prepress company moving around probably a few dozen gb of data per day, saving PSD, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, all kinds of formats. It's the first time I've had a client requesting PNG files, and so the issue has come to light. This is the first time I've ever seen any kind of issue opening/saving across our network in 8 years. (the only time I've ever seen a corrupt file was a 1.6gb image that didn't copy correctly, and that wasn't a photoshop-related corruption, but an OS drag/copy of the file)
I'm not sure if I'll be able to find someone with OS 10.5 or some other version to see if they cause problems. If anyone else reading this who works over a network can test a PNG open/save over their network and list their OS and Photoshop version it may help. I'm going to see if I can find some other computers to try it out on in the meantime and mention it to IT.

I have a officejdet 6500 e709n that is compatible with xp and vista, I have windows 7 on my laptop

HP walked me thru a process so that I could use the wireless printer but now I've moved and I need to go thru this process again because I have a new router and they want to charge me $37. Can you help me?

OK, from the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults.
Now, from that same Network menu run the Wireless Setup Wizard. This will connect your printer to your network.
Now, on your PC, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the printer (highlight it and hit the Delete key on the keyboard).
Finally, add the new instance of the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Setting the layer name from a format plugin with CS2 and before

Hello,
I wrote a new format plugin and the name of the layer shown in PS , when I read a file, does not seem to be consistent on all computers for versions CS2 and before : some times I get "Background" and some times I get "Layer 0" .
When the layer is named is "Background", it is locked. If I double click on the layer, I get a panel to rename it and the name suggested is "Layer 0" (and not "Background").
Somehow, it seems that my plugin is not doing exactly the right thing or there is a setting in PS options (or in the registry) that controls/causes that behavior. My understanding is that we can't name layers from the plugin before version CS3 (setting the layerName field in the FormatRecord makes no difference for CS2 and before).
I do not care much about the actual layer name as long as that name is consistent for all installations. Does anybody know what is going on?
Thank you!
Gilbert

If it has transparency, it has to be a layer ("Layer0").
If it doesn't have transparency, it is treated as a background.
And yes, changing the background to a layer does normally rename it to "layer X".

CS2 and Vista

This has probably appeared here many times: CS2 Premium got installed on Dell+Vista, worked for some time, then suddenly quit opening, showing a message like "you don't have adm status, log as adm".
Well, I was logged as adm. Called Dell, no clue. Called Adobe: try uninstall and install: wouldn't install. Called Dell back, they told me to reinstate original Dell Vista that came with computer. Did that, still didn't install.
Called Adobe, they said, well, CS2 doesn't support Vista, no patch or update available. End of story.
Anyone knows any workaround here, short of installing XP on my computer just to run CS2?

32- or 64-bit Vista?
Lots of users have managed to get CS3 to run, and some CS2, but you need to provide full details about your OS and system.

Performance problems with CS2 under Vista

I used to run CS2 under XP and everything was fine! A technical fault with the PC caused the hard drive to wipe itself, and for some silly reason I installed Vista when I reinstalled everything.
The PC is very powerful and has plenty of RAM, but CS2 runs very badly on it. It can run normally, usually for the first few seconds of use, but will inevitably slow down. Anything to do with an onscreen image, such as marking an area, painting, anything. I mean it really slows to a crawl. Positioning the cursor on a location and rapidly moving it to one side, there can be a delay of several seconds before it moves! This really makes the software unusable. Thing is, I cant tie down what it causing it. The CPU use hits 100% which is the obvious reason, but why it is, I dont know. There doesnt seem to be any disc access. Also, it doesnt depend on how large or small the image is. It happens even editing an image as small as 400x400. If there is one thing, then it may well be that it is when the image is enlarged so that it is bigger than the window it is displayed in. In other words, the scroll bars are present. It never seems to happen when they are not present. Does anyone have any ideas? All the drivers are fully up to date, nothing is causing problems. the machine scores 5.9 on the vista performance test and it has 4GB of ram.

Am I looking in the wrong place?
Were can it be modified?
I was adjusting it in the window color and appearance. Advanced. The only problem was that I couldn't adjust the color of the window frames under aero. Specifically things like the status bar. I currently use an old style windows setup because I can set everything to mid gray, including scroll barss, status bars and so on. It may be boring, but is best for the type of work I do.
By the way, I have cured the problem. Under Performance Visual Effects, I disabled all the silly stuff that is hardly ever used like "Slide theTask barar Buttons" and the problem went away. Some of these are not actually used unless you use Aero anyway. I don't know which one was causing the problem, but anyway, it's gone!
I would still like to be able to set all the colors under aero, so if anyone can tell me how, would be greatly appreciated.
