Photoshop 5.5 acting crazy - want to reinstall but no delete program

For a few weeks I couldn't get ph 5.5 to open. Then I changed something to 256 colors and it worked. Throughout, the crop tool turns into a curved arrow
and cursor jumps away from image and can't control.
So I would like to uninstall the program and reinstall. However, there's no ph 5.5 listed in remove programs. How do I uninstall it and find aall the parts of it everywhere. Can I just do a new install and not remove the old one?
Please note I need a simple explanation.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to download the Photoshop Elements free trial from this site (Adobe.com) and see how it works.
I suspect it will run fine; your system is MUCH newer than Photoshop 5.5 from what I can see.
Regarding limitations in Elements...  It was once a derivative of the full version of Photoshop (around Photoshop 6.0 I believe).  Some things, such as working with 16 bit data, were blocked, but it's getting gradually more powerful over time.  I think you may find, with a few exceptions, that it has more functionality than Photoshop 5.5 did.  And it's not hugely expensive, as is the full version of Photoshop.
If you have time to post back here, I'd be interested to hear your comparitive impressions after trying it.

  • I uninstalled Photoshop Incorrectly and Want to Reinstall but Don't Have the Option...

    I use a Mac and I dragged the Photoshop folder (from applications, not Adobe specifically) into the trash can. Like a true genius, I deleted the trash can items to make sure it was super gone. (Long story) So I'm attempting to reinstall it now, but when I open the creative cloud app, it acts as if Photoshop is still installed. Help

    Run the cleaner tool.

  • Want to reinstall, but will Ilife go with me?

    I want to completely reinstall Mac OS X (as in, reformat the hard drive and reinstall). I have an external hard drive (500Gb), and a couple gigs that I want to cross over, but other than that I want everything gone. However, I bought this Mac with iLife preinstalled, so I am worried that I will lose iLife in the process. Again, I have an external hard drive, so if it were as easy as copying iLife to the external hard drive, then that would be great, but I don't think it will be. I have iLife registered with Apple, but I don't have the actual box because it came preinstalled. Any suggestions?

    The iLife suite should be on your install disks that came with your Mac. Check out this thread.

  • HT204266 Where's "money iq" application? I want to reinstall but not found in app store.

    Today I need to reinstall "Money IQ" application on new iPhone. But cannot found on app store.
    I used to bought this app and use it on old device for a long time.
    Is it remove from appstore? May I got refund?

    If it's been removed from the store then you won't be able to re-download it, and there aren't refunds for when an app is removed. You don't have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads that you can re-sync to your phone ?

  • Transfered Photoshop to new computer; it wants a subscription but I have a license. Help?

    I mistakenly followed the prompts to subscribe (I had confused the product code with the license code and obviously it wouldn't accept it) and now when I open the software  it doesn't give me the option to input my license code—it just tells me my subscription ran out. I deleted and reloaded the program but the subscription prompt still comes up. Any advice?

    That just made it go in slow motion (I'm on a MacBook Air, FYI). I never got a "delete settings" option. I really appreciate your help, BTW.

  • My mail application is acting crazy.

    When I try to delete messages it tells me they can not be moved to the trash because an item is there already there
    or it quits unexpectedly.
    “37900.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists.

    Exactly.
    That is why I say it is acting crazy.
    When I attempt to delete from any inbox accross all accounts
    it gives the same error code.
    Wether I highlight drag and drop, right click delete, or move manually one by one to trash.

    Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't  reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here.  The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
    Sincerely yours.

    I want to reinstall photoshop CS6 with serial number - where is the site?

    If you purchased it as a download you should have a link to download it in your Adobe account online.  Otherwise you can download the trial version and use your serial number to activate it.

  • Wiped hard drive at apple store and now need to reinstall programs (Photoshop) I should be able to do this without purchasing the program again??

    My computer was turning on, but never getting past a gray loading screen. I took it to an apple store and they ended up having to wipe my hard drive clean. I now want to reinstall photoshop and microsoft office, which are programs I had purchased and had on my computer previously, and I'm thinking there should be some way to do so without having to purchase those programs again?

    Yes. Download the current trial and make it permanent with your serial number:
