How can I get photoshop cs2 to recognize me as administrator?

I have a legal version of cs2 that has worked well since I purchased it in 07.  Recently it would seem to load fine but quit at the last minute.  I have tried running the program as administrator.  No luck.  I have tried running as administrator through compatability.  I have unlocked the special administrator access in vista, uninstalled and reinstalled the program.  No luck.  All the other programs seem to run fine; it's just photoshop that seems to have locked me out.  Please help!

I don't think that you have a PS problem, but a problem with your Vista.
One thing to try is an elevated prompt to make the administrator active - worth a try.
Go >Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command prompt > Right click and select 'Run as administrator'
In the command window type: C:\>net user administrator /active:yes
Go to the CS .exe file and right click, then try 'run as admin'
I hope it helps,
Roger

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

  • How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    How can I get photoshop elements to open my nef images?

    The D3200 requires at least ACR 7.1, which isn't compatible with any version of PSE prior to PSE 11, so no, you can't do this directly in PSE 9.
    You could upgrade PSE, use the Nikon software to convert the files and then open the resulting images into PSE for further editing, or download the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of PSE can understand.

  • How can I get the phone to recognize mini SD Card?

    I have a 32G Sandisk SD Card in the G4 mini but one day the phone said the card was blank and unsupported.  I purchased another SD Card and installed it however the phone does not recognize that I have an SD card.  When I try and save music or pics to the card the phone says I have removed the storage.  How can I get the phone to recognize the card storage?

    First of all do you Mount or Unmount the card from the settings menu before pulling the card out of its slot? Make sure that the option Mount is greyed out in you settings menu when the card is in the phone. If not select it.  If you pull the card out of the phone select Unmount first.  You can also try formatting the card from the same settings menu.  If these two things do not work, then either the card is defective or the card hardware slot is defective.

    how can i get apple tv2 to recognize more than one computer in my house, I just got it and can only find one of two computers in my home

    Same here. I have 1 ATV2 and 2 computers and each has separate iTunes accounts (mine and my wife's). The ATV menu says "computers" so I presume you can have more than 1 computer on 1 ATV. The big question is how do you set it up?

    Are you able to print to your new printer from other applications, or is it just Acrobat that doesn't recognize the printer? This document outlines some printer troubleshooting tips, and is a really great place to start: Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader
