I have an "unrecoverable error on photoshop cs2.

I just went on photo shop cs2 and I got a message saying "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error.Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable." How do I fix this? I reinstalled photo shop I tried restoring my computer, I tried restarting my computer, what do I do? Adobe Image ready works just fine though.

Have a look at this tech document:

  • I have been trying to install Photoshop CS2 but it fails, why?

    It is always at the same loading point, "control packet" and then it crashes, why?
    I got the idea from here -> Grab Photoshop and CS2 For Absolutely Free Right Here And it is not a virus, promise
    Anyway, I have installed Photoshop CS2 on my other computer so it could be that reason, but I don't think so.
    Please help

    First off, the article you link to is WRONG. Adobe have absolutely NOT made CS2 "free" - the replacement download is only legally available to customers who already owned a copy of the CS2 applications and couldn't reinstall them because the activation servers were closed down. If you don't have a genuine paid-for license for CS2 from back in the day, you are not allowed to use it. Period.
    Also, CS2 is old. It's not designed to run on modern operating systems.

  • I have an old version of Photoshop CS2 which I purchased in discs and want to install on my new computer but don't have the  discs can I copy it from my old laptop?

    Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?

    Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD.  Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

  • Photoshop CS2 installation failures

    I have been having trouble with Photoshop CS2 installation. PS was working fine bur 3 days ago told me there was a serious error and I had to reinstall which I have tried 5 times but it gets to the end and tells me a file is missing and to quit which I do but no PS. Adobe told me to create a disc image using disk utility and install from that. Still failed. I had to install on another bootable disc with 10.4.0 and it worked so there is a software conflict somewhere, probably with the latest security update (2007) but I do not want to have to reformat my HD and reinstall ALL my software from scratch and then NOT update to latest software without knowing what is going on. Can anyone offer any suggestions please.
    Adobe say there is no conflict issue with latest security update. Have tried all sorts of install methods but it always fails at the last hurdle!
    David

    Firstly I am not installing the whole suite of software, only PS CS2 so Version Cue is not a problem.
    Adobe also say there is no conflict issue with Apple security update and CS2. They tell me about making sure I have admin read and write for registrations database but this asumes I have PS installed which I cannot
    Secondly I tried the CS3 Beta download which incidentally is 685Mb and it will not mount, so I will have to try another lengthy download

  • Photoshop CS2 suddenly not working

    I'm suddenly having troubles with my Photoshop CS2. I had uploaded the software onto my new laptop, Dell with Vista, and it has always worked fine. Suddenly, this message is popping up and I have no more use of Photoshop CS2:
    http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b179/silver_sharpie/photoshopproblem.jpg
    Strangely, my ImageReady does work. I have uninstalled Photoshop several times and reinstalled it but I'm still getting this message.
    Any reason as why this is happening, and what can I do to recover Photoshop?
    Will I be able to buy an upgrade or will it always be unrecoverable? Then will I be able to buy the full version of CS4 or will any Photoshop I try and install always be unrecoverable?

    Ladyelf
    Try resetting your preferences as
    described in the FAQ
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Photoshop cs2 won't start

    I am out of town.  I know that I have an old version of photoshop (CS2), but when I return home, I plan to buy a new computer and update photoshop to the latest version.
    In the meantime, I'm having problems starting photoshop on windows xp.  When I start it, I get a window, "Adobe Photoshop CS2 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  If I click, it gives technical information about the problem.
    I've rebooted, and the same things happens.  If I were back home and had access to my install disks, I would reinstall.  Is there anything that I can do while I'm here in LA?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    You have to be VERY quick to get those keys down IMMEDIATELY after starting Photoshop from it's menu entry or shortcut, and it sometimes takes several tries.

  • Windows Vista and Photoshop CS2 Compatibility?

    I am considering the purchase of a new computer. I have Photoshop CS2, and I am debating whether to get Windows Vista or Windows XP Pro. I have read in the database about Vista and CS2, "Installs and runs with minimal known issues." But it also states under Support for Windows Vista, "not officially." So I am wondering whether anyone has PSCS2 running under Vista, and what kinds of problems you've encountered? Thank you.

    I have come across a severe Photoshop CS2 incompatibility with Vista.
    One of my printers is an Epson Stylus R310, which prints on both paper and disc. While this model has been on the market for a number of years, many people are still using it, especially those who, like me, have added a continuous-flow ink system to it.
    Epson appears to have sat back meekly and allowed Microsoft, whose programming limitations know no bounds, to produce a Vista 'driver' for the R310. Epson even proudly announces on its various international sites that the driver is 'In-box'.
    This so-called driver is so poor that Epson has had to release a PDF that shows how to fool the printer into printing to disc when using Epson's own CD Print software under Vista. The Epson XP driver automatically switches the printer dialogue to CD mode, but with the Vista CD workaround the paper mode is retained on screen and it is not until the printer reacts in CD configuration that a user knows that the workaround has worked.
    When it comes to Photoshop no workaround seems possible. Print Preview just doesn't work as it does under XP. It is not possible to switch printers, so the target printer has to be made the default so that a preview appears. Otherwise, the user is stuck with the default. In my case, I have used the Photoshop preview box under XP to switch from my default A4/A3 mono laser if I want to use the R310 or my HP 1220. Epson Support's reaction to this situation is that it is up to Photoshop to change.
    Problems such as these with the R310 under Vista no doubt apply to many other printers whose Vista drivers carry the dreaded '(M)' in their name.
    This leads to a question of my own. I am wondering whether CS3 has tackled this problem of using truncated Microsoft Vista printer drivers with Photoshop. Can anyone enlighten me?

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS2 on Intel Mac 10.4.6 or 10.4.7

    Hey,
    I have just tried to install Photoshop CS2 on an Itel MacBook Pro but it gets stuck while installing "Shared Packages" of "Adobe Help Center".
    Any idea out there?
    Thanks

    Please don't say that CS2 doesn't work under Rosetta, when it does. There are performance issues, and for those who use CS2 for large, system intensive purposes have good reason to not want to upgrade to Intel, but that doesn't mean CS2 won't work.
    I haven't experienced the install problem personally, but googling "cs2""intel""mac" yields this article:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060524084530919
    To summarize, it may be an issue with either Quicktime 7.1 or Adobe Version Cue.
    Good luck.

  • PhotoShop CS2 with Windows - via Bootcamp / Parallels

    Hi All,
    Hope you can help !
    I am thinking of upgrading from G4 powerbook to an Intel MacBook. My main question is this:
    I have a full copy of Photoshop CS2 for windows, will this run sufficently well under either bootcamp / parallels on a MacBook or will I need to upgrade to CS2/3 for MAC ?
    Many thanks
    RH/Nutwood

    I have a full copy of Photoshop CS2 for windows, will this run sufficently well under either bootcamp / parallels
    It will run fine on both of them.
    It will run better using Bootcamp/Windows.

  • Photoshop CS2 and iPhoto

    I just got a iMac and when I try to set CS2 as editor in preferences of iPhoto: there is no choice allowing this. I only get choices of Aperture or window selections. No other program including CS2 which was transferred from my previous Mac is offered.

    Photoshop CS2 is not supported in OSX Leopard and Adobe has no plans for it to be so. They want you to upgrade to CS3.
    Having said that, have you tried re-installing Photoshop CS2? Something might have gone wrong when you transferred it to your new iMac. Follow these instructions to manually remove all the program:-

    and then reinstall.

  • Photoshop CS2 Registering

    I have a legitimate copy of Photoshop CS2 but yet I now cannot use it. Being as the registration servers are now not registering this product I am informed that my CD is no longer of any use and I have to download a version which does not need registration from this page of Adobe's web site:-
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    I suppose that's fair enough, but now it seems I can only download this version if I live in the USA.
    When I click on stage 2 of stage 2 (Download and install CS2 applications) where I select the language (English), an application page appears in which I cannot change the Country / Region. The default setting is United States and I am then asked to select a State ….. but I don't live the US of A! These are required fields.
    Am I missing something here? Shall I just eeny-meeny-miny-moe a state and put my UK post code in? Will that work?
    Richard

    Thanks Trevor, quote:-
    "It also feels just plain wrong that the top of the page that link takes you to asks you to choose from 16 different languages.  That doesn’t gel with a USA only option to download the file."
    That's exactly what I thought at first but then on the other hand all those langauges are probably spoken in the USA.
    I've gone through it with a fine tooth comb and I just cannot see what I'm missing. I've uninstalled Photoshop, I go to stage 2 (Download and install CS2 applications) and stage 2 of that stage asks me to choose a language, I click on English and get a form to fill in. When I get down to Country/ Region there is no choice, I cannot choose my country. It is set at United States and I cannot see any choice to go to a British version of that page.
    Perhaps everyone from other countries have just picked a state at random, put in their own post code and it has worked, I don't know.

  • Uninstalling Photoshop CS2 from tiger

    I have a macbook running 10.4.11 and I have a version on Adobe Photoshop CS2 installed that is very slow and wonky. It was installed at an old office and I do not have the CD's. I want to uninstall it and install a new version of CS3 which I heard works a lot better. Any ideas on the best way to do this?? Thanks-Mott

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.
