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."

Photoshop CS2 avtivation not recognized

Photoshop CS2 activation not recognized after ATI graphics card driver update. Internet connection live but "No internet connection detected" indicated when trying to reactivate. What's going on???

Adobe shut down the CS2 activation servers months ago. You are entitled to download the free CS2 copy. Use the s/n supplied on website.

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 CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

Mac App Store not recognizing previously installed Apple applications

Mac App Store is not recognizing previously installed Apple applications (Aperture 3; iLife'11; iWorks'09) as already purchased and installed. These were installed either via download from the Apple Store or from install discs. Prior to the 10.6.7 update, at least some of these applications were recognized as already installed by the Mac App Store. This is no longer the case.

However, it now says that the software that came with my Mac Book Air (iLife) and other software must be re-purchased!
No, it doesn't say you must re-purchase them. You can continue to use those apps as they are. There is no requirement for you to re-purchase them. If you wish to have lifetime updates, you can purchase the version on the app store which will give you that. However, you still have the same license to use those bundled apps the same as everyone else.
This is wrong, at least for the Mac Book Air 2010 and forward purchases because of Mr Jobs announcement back in October.
What did he say that makes you think that?
No! Apple must make good on this. Why should Apple give me iLife with an MBA and tell me that I'm getting an App Store and then deny those software to be excluded from being "installed"? This is wrong.
No, you are wrong. You received the standard bundled apps that were bundled with every other Mac. The App store only reports on apps actually purchased from the app store (apparently correctly, now). Your bundled apps were not purchased from the Mac App Store. They were bundled with your Mac.
Apple reps (you guys here)
They are not, at least the ones you wish to talk to.
MUST escalate this issue for computers/software purchased from that October announcement and understanding.
Why? You didn't buy a "Mac App Store" bundle with your Mac. As I explained above, you received applications bundled with your Mac. They still work. You have not been cheated in any way.

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 crashes after MS Office install

Hello everyone,
I have been using Photoshop CS2 without any problems since I bought my new iMac a few months ago. I haven't used Photoshop for a week or so, and I am not sure if my last system update to 10.6.8 was before or after that pause in my Photoshop use. What I am sure of is that the day before yesterday I installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
Since yesterday Photoshop crashes like crazy: sometimes right on startup, sometimes when I do something like open a new document or whatever. I cannot find any systematics as to when Photoshop crashes, only that it usually crashes pretty quickly.
Below is the latest crash report. I don't know if the others say the same. Can anyone understand what the reason for the crash is or even if it is related to the Office installation or bad fonts or ...?
Thank you!!!

This is an issue with Office 2011 not playing nice with Photoshop CS2. I've been using CS2 for several years, and currently under OS 10.5.6 (so it is NOT an OS 10.6.x issue). I've been very careful to keep permissions repaired etc. before & after any major install or update. Never, ever had any problem with CS2, none. A few weeks ago, I upgraded from Office Mac 2008 to 2011. Everything seemed fine with the Mac until the next time I used CS2 to scan some docs, but it started crashing for no apparent reason. I was about to try re-installing CS2 or even pay to upgrade to CS5 (CS2 is fine for my needs ... back when it worked). I'm glad I googled "office 2011 photoshop" and found this series of posts. qwertyboy's original post sounded as if I had written it! I hope the font thing is the fix ... however, that seems like the kind of problem that would have affected a Mac 20 years ago back in the dark ages of running OS 7, not a modern OS ... shame on MS software code people for not following Apple Developer guidelines for managing fonts or whatever. Thanks all for the good posts!
PS: I need to comment on the crash report:
"I say it's not Office because there isn't one reference to Office in the crash report. All are squarely Adobe PS."
That's like saying it was Abe Lincoln's fault that he was assassinated because he didn't get out of the way of John Wilkes Booth's bullet; the evidence being that Lincoln's blood was all over the place, but none of Booth's was found.

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?

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 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 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 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.
http://www.tramad.com/Memory.png
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....

Serial number not recognized when installing.

I bought Acrobat Standard XI off the Adobe website. When installing the serial number is not recognized. The drop down box for selecting which product I bought has a selection for Standard X but not Standard XI.

Hi brabski
The download link is for the retail version installer so if you do have a volume license then you need to download the installation files from
https://licensing.adobe.com/.
Below is the link to contact for support:
