Photoshop CS2 is not recognizing my install

I am getting this message below, I know the key i put in is accurate as the progam loaded...Anythoughts?:
"Your Photoshop user name, organization or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must close now."

After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6, screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

Photoshop CS2: "file not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error

So, I've been working with Photoshop for almost 20 years now, and lately I've been getting this error message on occasion (but not on every file) when I go to open a file I worked on just yesterday: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." I just worked on it yesterday in Photoshop. The file was saved as a PSD, and when I attempt to open it through Painter IX, that program tells me that it's not a Photoshop document. Why can't I open this file anymore, and why is it giving me this error message when I don't have Norton AntiVirus installed, and my 'maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility' is set to 'always'??
Does anyone have an idea on how I can open my file? How can I get around this, and how do I prevent it from happening again?

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Photoshop CS2 Could not complete request because of program error

My Photoshop CS2 stopped opening JPEG files from the Bridge. First it freezes and then say Not Responding. After that it brings Could no complete request because of program error. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling with no joy. I have also found out that i cannot open a file even directly from photoshop itself. I have not done any work for the past three days. Please help

I know this is probably a little late for your issue, but for anyone else having trouble with this...
I had this exact same problem, and my photo had also been previously worked on and saved as a jpg in CS4.
I saved it as a psd and then opened it back up in CS4, where it saved as a jpg with no problems.
So, it seems to be a problem with the different versions of photoshop. If you have access to CS4, that could solve your problem. Otherwise, have anyone sending you files from later versions save down to your version, and that might help.

Photoshop CS2 will not open to double click in Snow Lepard

Since loading Snow Leopard I have been unable to open Photoshop files with a double click. Double clicking .psd file opens PS with the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Right click "open with" gets the same result. I CAN open files through the file menu in PS. But, files opened via the file menu and saved as... will not open with a double click.
The "Open with" in the file info window reads "Adobe Photoshop CS2". Even forcing it to open in Preview and then back to PS CS2, sort of like hitting it with a hammer, does not improve the situation.
CS2 on and year old dual quad.
Before you knee jerk a "CS2, what did you expect..." CS2 seems to work fine once open. And I have access to another brand new iMac 24" with CS2 and Snow Leopard that does not have this problem, files open with a double click.
On my troubled machine the thousands of files in question opened yesterday, pre Snow Leopard. I have found a few PS files that are several years old that do open to a double click.
Thoughts?

In a partial answer to my own question...
I have discovered that the Adobe CS2 files (as well as Illustrator CS2, Microsoft Office X, Silo, etc.) will open with a double click in some cases.
Files on my main hard drive (Mac pro dual quad with four one terabyte hard drives, Snow Leopard 10.6.1) is a RAID made up of two of the internal terabyte hard drives will not open with a double clip. (They do open via the file menu in the given program).
But files on non-RAID drives open with a double click as expected.
It appears that the RAID drive (Apple software RAID) is the culprit.
It is likely that a simple fix from Apple in the operating system to correct the opening of files with a double click from an Apple sotware RAID drive would solve the problem as the various programs all work fine otherwise with Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

Photoshop CS2 is NOT compatible with my MacBook Pro!

Despite Apple's marketing hype to the contrary, I had the following experience with the CS2 Suite. I loaded it from disks, registered and activated it, and then immediately opened a photo image for editing. I tried to crop the image, and the response was "That operation cannot be completed - Your scratch disks are full." Now, I have ~90GB available on the "scratch disk," so it is NOT full.
I called Adobe Tech Support. The tech said "CS2 was not really designed to work with the new Intel chips. If it's not working for you, we're sorry, but there's not much you can do about it. No 'patch' or software upgrade is anticipated soon."
The tech said that he hadn't heard much about this issue; is that for real? Am I having a unique problem for some reason? At least he didn't charge me $39, that's one benefit I can think of. Any hope out there for a solution to this issue from the Apple side?
17" MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I just completed a CS 2 project involving both Photoshop and InDesign on my MBP 17 and had only two problems -- InDesign prefs got corrupted. I cleaned them out and then went from there with no problems until I opened a figure in Photoshop -- the program informed me I was missing components and needed to reinstall Photoshop. But it let me edit the file. Once I was done I did a reinstall of CS2 and everything seems to be fine now.
I have noticed a prevalence for prefs files to get trashed on this machine more so than on my G5 iMac or my PPC PB.

Memory Problems with Photoshop CS2 - RAM not being utlized

I am having memory issues with Photoshop CS2. I have a G5 dual 2.5 with 8 GB of RAM. PS CS2 keeps hanging on me when I'm doing fairly routine tasks with a fairly complex low-res .psd file. It includes several nested layers...etc.
I noticed while running activity monitor that Photoshop is utilizing a very small percentage of my system's RAM. Approximately 475 MB of the total 8 GB RAM and 1.07 GB of harddrive space for the scratch disk. This seems odd as there is over 6 GB of free RAM while this is happening.
I've uploaded a screen capture of my activity monitor while Photoshop is hanging. Note that the CPU percentage is above 98%. That's an awful lot of RAM going unused.

Any idea what's going on here? Could it be a corrupt file or font?

Doesn't completely make sense as I've been using this particular machine for almost two years without any problems working in much more complex and much larger high-res .psd files. I doubt that's what the issue is here. I'm starting to think the file became corrupted...
Hard to believe that Adobe/Apple haven't issued a fix for the RAM issue yet.
I also run routine CRON maintenance using Cocktail and have no other issues with any software....

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 will not get beyond initialisation anymore

I am using (or was) Photoshop CS2
Win XP Home
Intel 4 3.06 Ghz processor
2GB RAM
Nvidea GeForce FX Go5100 video card 128Mb, IRQ 16, BIOS 4.34.20.85.08
Packard Bell easynote H5
After updating Nvidea drivers when I load Photoshop after starting initiation sequence I get error,
"Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.'
press enter and it crashes. ( This may have been the first time I tried CS2 for a while so may not be relevant.)
I rolled back the drivers made no difference
I checked fonts for errors and fully cleaned these up
Elements and everything else works just fine.
End of tether, please help

I have run disk checks all come up clear, I've virus checked and minor issues only, the disc is a only few months old and performs well. All other programs run very well. Elements runs fine. I have de fragged, I've run surface checks and run the Acronis alignment tool on the disc which is Samsung.
The Disc is partitioned with plenty of space on all partitions.
I run AV's, Proshow. pictures2exe as I'm into photography. had I not started up Photoshop I would never have seen anything to be of concern.
I am reluctant to re-install everything unless I can be sure that it will work at the end of it.
As you can tell I did a fair bit of work before coming to the forum.

Photoshop CS2 thumbnails not visible in Windows Explorer

I have Photoshop CS2 running on XP Pro, and all of the thumbnail images for my PSD files show up as black squares in Windows Explorer. The files I created in PS6 still show their thumbnail images, but once I load them into CS2 and save them, they're gone. Any ideas as to what's causing this?

There was a DLL called psicon.dll provided with early versions of Photoshop that made .psd thumbnails visible in the 32 bit Windows Explorer. I don't know whether later versions of .psd files might be incompatible.
For modern systems, especially 64 bit systems, there is no Adobe-supplied icon shell extension - one has to go to commercial (but inexpensive) software from one of a couple of companies out there who provide the proper codec:
Mystic Thumbs: http://mysticcoder.net/mysticthumbs.html
Ardfry PSD Codec: http://www.ardfry.com/psd-codec/
Of course, if you investigate these double check to be sure the software will work on your system.
Before paying for anything you might also check to see if you have the Maximize Compatibility setting checked in Edit - Preferences - File Handling.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop CS5 extended not recognizing all of my system memory

I reinstalled photoshop CS5 and prior to that the 3D repousse tool was not working properly but the performance section recognized all 16 GB of memory I have. After the reinstall, it only recognizes 3.5. This is very strange and I am at a loss of how to solve this issue. My system is dual quad core AMD opertons with 2.01 GHz of speed. 16GB of DDR2 RAM and a Nvidia GTX 285 Graphics card. OS is Windows 7 premium. All drivers have been updated as of today. Please let me know if you had the same problem and let me know how you fixed it.

Are you running Windows 32 bit? That prevents 64 bit apps from running.
If you are running a 64 bit version of Windows, and the 64 bit version of Photoshop -- then Photoshop should see most of your installed RAM (can use all of it because of OS overhead and the size of the binaries).

Photoshop CS6 is not recognizing my Epson Photo 1400 printer...how to fix?

I cannot print anything from Photoshop CS6. When i try to print any / all types of files from Photoshop CS6 to my Epson Photo 1400 printer, I get the following error message:
"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
I can print all / anything (.pdf .tif.png, etc.) from ALL other applications-except from Photoshop.
I only have one printer and it is recognized in my System Prefs.
I have OS X 10.9.2 (13C64) and Photoshop 13.0 x64
What to do....?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Chris,
I have the current version of PS and the most current printer driver. I deleted the Adobe CS6 Prefs.psp file and relaunched PS. I actually got closer this time, it looked like i could print but then i got this error message: ColorSync color matching may produce different results than printer color management. Either Photoshop color management or printer color management is recommended. I clicked Ok , the print preview window no longer showed my document and when I went to hit the print button, the original error message came up again. I go to File / Print and Print is no disabled (grayed out).

Reinstall Photoshop CS6, serial # not recognized

Please help. Had to reformat pc. Trying to reinstall photoshop cs6 but installer says my serial no. is not valid. It was an upgrade so went back and tried previous serial no., that didn't work. Tried, original serial no. of cs2 and that didn't work. Help.....

If its an update you will need two serials. Your upgrade serial and one of your prior upgrade serial or you original product serial. You should be able to get these serials by logging on to Adobe.com with your Adobe user ID and Password. Then go to My Adobe then My Producrs and click on your CS6 and Prior products to see your serial numbers.

Photoshop CS2 Images Not Showing

So any time I open an image in photoshop now they are only displayed in my navigation window. I updated my driver already and there is not an openGL option for CS2. I don't know what else to do solve this problem. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!

I do recall at least one other thread made reference to the © symbol as seen in PS not happening with LR. One of the threads on the Lightroom Experts Mail list talked about is abit, too. http://mail.pixels.nu/mailman/listinfo/lightroom_pixels.nu
