I cannor uninstall to reinstall CS2 - i've tried manually & w/ windows installer cleanup utility....

i have been using illustrator 10 & CS5 photoshop trial version fine on my windows vista (illustrator for 2 yrs on this computer). i got CS2 so i uninstalled both programs before installing the CS2. after installing i never got a finished window & it just closed. when i tried to open illustrator & indesign it closed as soon as it finished opening. photoshop did ask for registration info & then shut down/closed as well. i tired to uninstall from program/features in control panel but it doesn't work, it doesn't prompt me to do anything so adobe help had me install the windows installer clean up utility to remove programs not installed correctly. they are still not uninstalled & when i tried to reinstall the 1st cd gets to initializing & then stops. i now have removed all the adobe folders from my c drive & still cannot remove. i need to reinstall - HELP!!!! thankyou.

+it's essentially telling me I'm not the administrator when not only am I, but I'm the ONLY user on this computer+
Your sig says XPS. I assume that means XP. Your permissions must be corrupt in the registry, even though you are on an admin account. I got this same error when I upgraded my laptop to XP SP3. I had to run a tool from microsoft to fix it.
Scroll down to the advanced troubleshooting section on this page and run the subinacl stuff. I went and watched a movie while it ran - just be patient.

    Windows 8 or Windows RT? iTunes won't run on Windows RT. It should run on Windows 8. Use the appropriate installer from an account with administrator privileges.
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

    I Cannot get my organizer to work for Elements 13. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program......" is the error I get. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program and tried various other things based on the MANY other complaints with this same issue and nothing is working. How can this problem be corrected?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Are you upgrading from a previous version of Photoshop elements or is this your first?
    Are you trying to load the organizer or the editor or do both fail?

    I recently tried to update iTunes to 11.1, and am now getting an error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times with no success.  I am running Windows XP Svc Pack 3.  Help please.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Cannot Run, Uninstall or Reinstall Palm Desktop for Palm M500 on Windows XP

    I have a Palm M500 and Windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3 installed. Palm deskop was working smoothly, but now every time I try to run Palm Desktop I get the following error message: "Windows Installer: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Palm Desktop.msi' in the box below." The box below says "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\is33\1".I tried to uninstall Palm and I get the same message and Palm does not uninstall. I downloaded from Palm Support downloads the  PalmDesktopWin414EN update and tried to install it and I get the same error message so I cannot install it. Please Help !!! 
    Post relates to: Palm m500
    Post relates to: Palm m500

    Hello DiegoK and welcome to the forums......
    I would try going into safe mode and following the instructions below.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
    Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
    Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done,
    you will need to delete some registry keysfrom your PC Operating System registry.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
    they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
    Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
    box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember.
     In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install,
    and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer
    Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
    you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
    did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

  • Itunes wont update, uninstall or reinstall

    so everything was fine, i had my iphone 4s and my sony vaoi laptop and then one day it tells me to update my itunes. so thats what i did, it was running the install and then a error came up saying that 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that it unavailable' then underneath it gave me the option to go browse for where it was. it seemed to have disappeared only when the installation came about because when i quit it i found it in the exact same place that i looked when it gave me the option to 'browse'. for a month this was going on and i tried to fix it every time it offered me the installation but then it said my iphone couldnt connect to itunes anymore because itunes is not updated but how the heck do they expect me to upddate it when it just disappears?! i havent been able to update music on my phone anymore which is very annoying because that is one of the main reasons i got my iphone4s. then i looked up my problem on the internet and this person gave me a link and said uninstall itunes and reinstall it. it was called 'revo pro uninstaller' i thought it was going to work because it said it had uninstall everything to do with apple so i shut down my laptop to leave it rest. i opened it up the following day and there apple was again. for days i tried to uninstall everything to do with apple but it just wont go away. the same message as  'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that it unavailable' then underneath it gave me the option to go browse for where it was' and then it said 'the older version of itunes wont uninstall please contact your technical support group' when i tried to uninstall it or reinstall it on my laptop. to be honest apple, samsung are looking alot of a heck better. i have never been so annoyed with a company in my life. please get your act together.

(If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.

  • Itunes doesn't work, can't uninstall, or reinstall, or sync OR ANYTHING!!

    I have been battling this problem for MONTHS and as hard as I try to find information or support, NOTHING CAN FIX THIS. I just want to be able to sync things to my ipod AND ACTUALLY USE IT AGAIN. When I go to file sync, it's grey, and I can't select it. Auto sync is also disabled for some reason, and CAN'T be reinabled. PLEASE HELP ME. I've tried to reinstall, but that doesn't work because it can't locate 'itunes.msi'. So I cant uninstall, reinstall, install, or update! GRAAAA!! Somebody help me please!!!!!!

    I've tried to reinstall, but that doesn't work because it can't locate 'itunes.msi'.
    let's start with that one.
    let's try the following procedure.
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

  • Itunes won't uninstall OR reinstall

    Okay, so I was having problems with my computer awhile ago and deleted things I wasn't using and ran the recovery. Thought everything was fine until I tried to open itunes and it said that the action was only valid on installed programs. So I went to the website and tried to reinstall iTunes and got an error saying that previous versions couldn't be deleted. So I went into my Control Panel and tried to completely uninstall it, and it gave me a message saying " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailabe."
    Now the really weird part...I went and did a complete search of my computer for iTunes and it seems that i have 2 versions installed (although only 1 pops up in my add/remove programs) and found a way to open one of them, and it works just fine. But am I going to be able to update it?
    Please help me figure it out! I would really just like to delete it all and then reinstall the whole iTunes package, but it will not let me uninstall iTunes.
    Thanks

  • Cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air on XP - tried everything

    I cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air and now Pandora is not working. If I click the Air installer it says Air is already installed but the Pandora app says I need to install Air. If I look in add/remove programs it is not listed. I have tried the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and the Microsoft Fix it but Air does not show up in them either. I am running XP SP3.              Thanks, Lance

    Regarding error 1606 - have a look at this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/.
    If you still cannot uninstall Adobe Reader, use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove it.  (But I recently heard of problems when using the cleanup tool if Office 2007 is installed.)
    After removing Adobe Reader, download http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi, save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
