Installing Adobe tryout messed up a number of icons in Preferences

Hi all,
Yesterday I installed "tryout" (i.e. demo) versions of Adobe Photoshop (and ImageReady). I've noticed that many of the icons in my Preferences folder have been hijacked and the Get Info box refers to them as "Adobe ImageReady Preferences" files, even though they belong to unrelated programs (e.g. Equinox, Toast, Silverkeeper).
Deleting the prefs file and launching the program just creates a new prefs file with the Adobe icon instead of the correct one.
I tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I tried going to the Get Info box, selecting the icon at the top and hitting Delete but nothing changed. (This has worked for me in the past.)
When I open the Get Info box and go to the Edit menu, "Cut" is grayed out and not selectable.
Does anyone know a way to restore my original icons?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Barry,
Based on my experience the past week with the Tryout, their web site (in an attempt to contact them), their tech support (who gave me a number to call which had me on hold for a long time, then hung up) and now with the highjacking of my Prefs icons, I'm sure their software is not long for my machine.
Unfortunately, right now I need to do a project that requires professional print-ready CMYK and Gimp is not yet (truly) CMYK ready (and Apple doesn't yet make this type of software).
There has got to be a way to reclaim my icons in the interim.
Thanks for your input though.

    How do I install Adobe-PDF?

    I see. That's a different question.
    You know how to install the software but your serial number is not accepted. What's the exact error message?
    If you've checked that the number you're using is definitely the serial number (not a product code)

    then you'll have to speak to Adobe. The forums cannot help with serial number issues.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on multiple computers: invalid serial number

    I need to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer in place of my old one. However, when trying to use the original installation disk, the serial number I enter comes up as 'invalid'. Is this because I've already used it once? If so, is there any way to still install Photoshop Elements 10 for the second time?

    Contact serial number support by phone or web chat.

    Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
    I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
    Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
    I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
    Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
    What can I do?

  • Installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on a new laptop, but it doesn't accept my serial number

    Hello,
    On my old laptop I had installed and licensed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I retired my old laptop and bought a new one. I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 now on the new one. But seemingly my serial number is not accepted any more. That's what I did so far
    1. Downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html
    2. Retrieved my serial number from Adobe ID (it matched what I have found out locally on my old computer)
    2. Started the installation
    3. Entered my serial number when asked for. Then I get a message "Invalid Serial Number"
    Who can help please?
    Best regards,

    RolfSchlagenhaft there are no registered Adobe software titles under the account you are posting to the Adobe forums with.  You will want to attempt to locate the account which has your registered serial number.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.  If you need assistance locating the account which contains your serial number then please contact our support team at Contact Customer Care.
    Finally if you have a volume license for Acrobat 9 Professional then the installation files are only available at https://licensing.adobe.com/.  The installation files you downloaded are for the retail version of Acrobat 9 Professional.  This may be another cause of you receiving the message that your serial number is invalid.

  • When installing Adobe Acrobat on my new computer I get the message that the serial number is invalid.

    I try to install Adobe Acrobat on my new computer, but I get a message that the serial number (the one I found in My Account) is invalid.

    first make sure you are installing the right product from the original disks/saved download, as there are multiple similar products. Did you buy direct from Adobe?

  • Is there a certain number of times I should install Adobe Reader on a mac before it works?

    Is there a certain number of times I should install Adobe Reader on a mac before it works?  Cant open any Adobe certified pdf's in any applications. Keeps telling me to install Reader for the best experience.
    I've tried that on three macs, no luck.  Website in general is a shambles.

    No, if it doesn't work the first time, doing it again isn't likely to change anything.
    The usual reason for this message is that the app is not using Reader, but the PDF needs Reader. What app is putting out the message? Can you reply (NOT BY EMAIL) with a screen shot of the message?
