Lightroom 2 - problems with trial download?

I thought I would try Lightroom 2 to see how it compares to Photoshop Elements 8. I downloaded the trial version okay and it seemed to install okay. When I tried to run it, the initial panel comes up and a few seconds later is glossed over by a panel saying to the effect that "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working" and I get a smaller panel to the effect that Windows is "checking things out". I then get a button to push that tells me to "Close Program".
Obviously something is wrong. I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 545 (64 bit - I believe) and I am not sure what else is under the hood that might cause problems. I have Photoshop Elements loaded and it runs with some problems, but I don't understand how that could affect Lightroom. I also tried to download and run Lightroom 3 Beta and had the same problem.
Any help or insight that anyone would care to provide will be greatly appreciated, because I have heard that Lightroom is a very good product (not sure how bug-free it is compared to Elements) and I would sure like the opportunity to at least test it out. Thanks in advance.

WesternGuy

I removed all the Preference files that you indicated. I uninstalled Lightroom 2.6. I then went back to the NVIDIA site and checked for an update to my driver for Windows 64-bit configuration. The site said there was one, so I downloaded it and installed it and all went well, so far. I then rebooted my machine.
I then downloaded Lightroom 2.6 again and installed it. When I tried to run it with all this new stuff installed, same problem. This is beginning to get a bit more techie than I can deal with. I do have a disk with the Operating System on it, but I am reluctant to reinstall it (Windows 7) in case something goes wrong. If it did, then this is just way beyond my technical knowledge and understanding of things to fix if anything that could go wrong, does go wrong. I have had Dell systems for years and have never, ever had these kind of problems with getting applications, even trial ones, to run. As far as access privileges, I am the administrator for this machine and I have never been asked for access privileges on any file, folder or other unit, so I will assume (?) that this is not an issue. If it was, I would have expected it to turn up by now, as I have had this machine for about three months, maybe four. Ambienttroutmask, I really appreciate all your help and suggestions and thank you very much for them all...
I do not believe that, or fail to understand why, such a high level of technical knowledge should be required to make things like this, that should be simple - download - install - run - test - decide on purchase (or not), to run. I do believe I am entitled to one year of in-home Dell service, so maybe I will contact Dell Canada and see what this is all about. Maybe if I could get someone to come have a look, then this can be resolved.
I am now at my proverbial wit's end and have no idea where to go from here. Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone?
Regards,
WesternGuy

What's the problem with Adobe Downloader assistant? It's impossible to download a trial version of

What's the problem with Adobe Downloader Assistant? It's making it impossible to download a trial version of PS 5 extended. I can see that I'm not the only one experiencing difficulties with this so........what's the story Adobe?!!!! If you don't want people to download trial versions of your products then just say so! Or do something about the problem and remove this faulty download.I have a brand new Mac,so it shouldn't be a problem. The Adobe Downloader has been extracting for 2 days now, and I can't shut it off. Very irritating!

If you are having problems with extracting it is likely that you have customized the location of your download. I would recommend downloading to your User folder or Desktop folder. When the download and extraction process are complete you can then install to your Program Files folder.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
Thanks.

Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content?

If I change the nation setting of my iTunes in order to buy a song from the American iTunes store, then change my setting back to the Korean store (where you cannot buy music) will that create any problems with my downloaded content? I want to buy an album that I cannot get hold of in Korea, but it is available in the US iTunes store. However since most of my apps are downloaded from the Korean store I'll need to switch back in order to update them. Does anyone know if there are any issues in doing this. I'd rather find out before I spend money, change my store setting back to Korea, and then get told I can't listen to the music because I bought it from the US store and my iTunes is set to the Korean store.
Cheers.

You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

Hello,
I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Problem with torrent-downloading, dont start!?

I have a problem with my Transmission (torrent-downloading), it dont start to download any file. My friends has tried the same torrents-file and with no problems. I havnt had this problem before, it just started recently. I have tried BitTorrent to check if its something was wrong with Transmission but it didnt start either to download (BitTorrent say, "Checking for firewall..").
So have I change some preferences in Mac OS X or somewhere else that make this problems with torrens-download?

Apple Discussions does not condone the use of torrent downloading, usually for pirated software. Therefore, you will not get any help on this forum.

How can I get a full history of our purchases? We had some problems with some downloads since 5/25/12.We were charged for items that said "Free"? Help

iTunes Store menu > View My Account...
Sign in and select "See All" in Purchase History.
You can only see them in "batches" of ten. As far as I know there is no way to obtain a comprehensive summary.
The prices are tabulated in that list. If they were supposed to be free, and they show that you were charged, then click the arrow next to the suspect purchases and click "report a problem".

HT1338 I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.
