Photoshop cs2 prompts me to register every time program starts

Is there a way to turn this off? I've already registered it, activated the program and the like and still it asks me to register whenever I open the program.
running windows 7 64 bit..
thanks in advance..

Go to C drive, Users, your name, AppData, Roaming, Adobe.
Look for Co.adobe US registration entry towards the bottom. Open with notepad. Now make a new entry at the very top and type in Never. The word Never should be the very first entry now (If it reads later at the top just delete and type in Never). Now go to where it reads File, click on File and select save and close out.
If you can't see the file make sure you have have folders selected to view hidden files and folders.
That will take care of your problem

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it.

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it closes down every time I open it with the following error: "Photoshop Quit Unexpectedly". Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this?

    The first question is have you used this version on this computer with the operating system you have now. The issue might be (if you are on a Mac) that CS2 was a Power PC application and you have upgraded to a new computer with an Intel processor. CS2 will not work on an Intel processor with system (I think) OSX.6 or greater.
    If you have used this release on this computer with the same OS, than try deleting the preferences by holding down the Comand/Control-Option-Shift keys when starting the application. You will get a message asking if you want to delete the preferences, say yes.
    Let me know if any of these work.

  • I'm asked to register every time I start CS2?

    Hello.  Every time I open CS2 it asks me to register, I do, and then it happens again each time.  What am I doing wrong?  Thank you for your time.  Kind regards, Cindy

    Hi Bob,
    Thank you very much, I will leave it off for my sanity.  I guess it's an issue with Windows 7 as well.  One more question please, what is UAC?
    Sincerely,

  • Photoshop Creative Cloud License requires login every time

    Every time I start Photoshop CS6, I am required to login with my adobe ID. Is this necessary? having to login every time I use the software is very annoying. This also happens with After Effects.
    the FAQ says that I should only have to login once per month, but this happens everytime the software starts.
    I'm using windows 7.

    Scott,
    Is your original issue resolved now? Regarding this issue with "C:\Windows\system32\wbem\fastprox.dll", this appears to be a Windows system file. It may have been corrupted. To repair it:
    1. Please insert the original Windows installation disk
    2. Launch a Cmmand Prompt window with Administrative privileges
    3. Issue the following command: sfc /ScanNow
    This is a built-in command in Windows that scans the entire Windows folder and attempts to repair system files that may be corrupt. This may take as much as 25 to 30 minutes to complete.

  • How do I tell photoshop to stop opening the same document every time I start Photoshop CS6?

    Hi all,
    Each and every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (running the latest version I think....13.0.1 x64) on my Mac Running 10.7.5
    the same document opens up. As if it thinks it crashed and needs to recover it. Im a member of Creative Cloud in case that matters.
    I have saved the document and closed it properly and yet - it returns every time I start up the program. Can anyone help?
    Its not a killer issue but extremely annoying.
    thank you.
    -wendy-

    Yeah - literally can't find anything remotely similar. If anyone knows where I might find the thread to a fix I'd be mightly helpful.
    Haven't a clue how to word to it any differently to try to find the answer.

  • I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 last week and every time I open the program, I get an error message that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and it forces me to close the program.  How to I resolve this?

    Hi Noel,
    I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
    You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
    It just didn't occur to me to do so.
    My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem.  It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of  their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install 
    I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
    If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
    Perhaps the following from the event log:

    The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor.  Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
    In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
    - download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
    - use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

  • Every time I start up Firefox, it always prompts me to reisntall the same pile of add-ons and extentions; I install them; still happens; why?

    Regarding Firefox 16.0.2. Every time I start up Firefox, especially after a period with my comp in standby mode, I am always asked to install several add-ons and extentions. Always the same ones, and always several. I install them, again and again, yet I am still always prompted to reinstall every time I start Firefox. I've always had this batch installed, but I don't know why it keeps telling me to reinstall them.

    Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also try to delete the addons.sqlite file.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then also see:

  • Every time i start photoshop elements 12 it asks for my country. How can I stop this?

    Every time PE12 starts up it asks for my country. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times PE12 on my Windows 7 desktop. This is a PITA.

    On this page at http://www.nectar.com/collect/toolbar/faq.points there are uninstall instructions (12th from the top).
    You should also be able to find it by clicking the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. You should be able to remove it from there if uninstalling it doesn't work.

  • Using DW CC... Win 7 : Every time I start DW,  I get  message telling me to 'switch to" or retry.

    Its more of an annoyance than a problem. I'm using Windows 7 Professional on an Intel i7 950 with 16 Gbytes of RAM and a Gforce graphics card with 3072 MBytes of RAM. I'm using the full suite of CC apps.
    Every time I start DW I get this error message to "switch to" or retry before it will start. It's got something to do with a browser (I've got 3) but only Chrome has any Adobe related add ons. I recall some time many years ago I got the same message starting Corel Draw or Photo Paint. Come to think of it, that was the reason I moved to Adobe in the first place.
    Any help will be gratefully accepted.

    Well... Yes and no to fixing it.
    I followed that link's instruction — altered for Dreamweaver and yes, it lit up cleanly as administrator but before ever it reached 'booted' stage it warned me I had 00 days of trial left and needed I to register it. OK I'm a paid up renter. I fed it my username and it finished booting only to tell me again, I had 00 days of trial left and needed to register it. I knew where this was leading before ever I entered my email and password for the second time but let it happen anyway.
    Then I decided I'd continue with the instructions, log out of DW and re-start it normally. Opps! This application has already been registered on two other machines. CC Manager at it again. Another hour wasted fixing CC dramas. I rebooted the PC without any external drives connected, just the 4 internal drives. OK... Lets start DW and see what happens. I'll tell you firstly that I installed DW on this machine 6 months ago and promptly removed it. Why? Because I get quicker results using notepad++ and I needed to get a job done in a hurry. No time to try and get my head around Dreamweaver in the process.
    Honestly speaking I didn't 'cancel' that installation. I didn't realize this antique process still existed.  Anyway... I reinstalled it last month with some time now to 'get my head around it'. CC doesn't speak my language and hasn't yet learned that when you tell it to remove a program, it needs to remove the registration of it too! So I got the 00 days trial left garbage again. Only difference this time it told me both the original install and second install (on the same machine) were still registered but luckily (I won't say for who) There was an option to cancel all other installations. and yes... It loaded cleanly and faster than I can recall it ever had previously. Will it keep doing this? Is this mess going to happen ever few months?
    I'm prepared to believe CC's shocking uninstall is to blame. At the best of times it is a messy process, leaving registry entries and files scattered all over my drives. NOT very nice for such a complex program manager. I used to be able to keep it under control with Revo but now CC manager wants to do it all I think it needs a bib or diaper to stop messing up my computer. If this happens again now that I've killed (renamed actually) the folders in the instructions to fix lightroom doing the same thing... I'll lodge a critical error ticket.
    Incidentally... How come searching for this solution didn't show up the answer you pointed me to? Is the forum search bot flaky too?

  • Windows asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?" every time I start Firefox.

    Neither my shortcuts nor my firefox.exe have Run As Administrator checked. And yet I get this prompt every time I start Firefox on my new laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

    unchecking "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab in the properties of the program was my first guess....darn.
    Ok I understand that this is only happening in Firefox. If you start it in safe mode does this still happen? This will tell you if its an add on or a changed configuration:[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

  • I upgraded to itunes 10.7.0.21 and now every time itunes starts it crashes within a few seconds!

    I upgraded to itunes 10.7.0.21 and now every time itunes starts it crashes within a few seconds! I have uninstalled and re-installed and I get the same! I am running windows 7 64bit. The error window sais the fault is " KERNELBASE.dll". I also installed on a test PC that has a trail version of Windows Web Server 2008 R2 and the exact same thing happens...
    Now I have no PC to sync to and no music/movies.... Any ideads??
    Many thanks...

    I had the same problem.  New iPhone 5, had to install iTunes 10.7 on windows 7 64 bit.  The install worked, but it crashed immediatly after startup (no window, nothing.)  I tried repairing the install, and still nothing.  When I read the post above, I saw that it was Quicktime related, and remembered I was also prompted to upgrade Quicktime too, which I chose NOT to do.  So I went back and upgraded quicktime.. and VOILA.. it WORKS.  iTunes now runs, and I'm in the middle of restoring my old iPhone to my new one.  (fingers crossed)

  • How can I turn off the blue tips that pop up every time I start Adobe Reader?

    Every time I start Adobe Reader XI, or every time I double-click a PDF file from another program, a blue bubble pops up under the "Open" portion of the toolbar that says "Easily open all your files across devices" and I cannot make it stop.
    I have:
    - Unchecked "Show me messages when I launch Reader" in Preferences/General/Messages form Adobe
    - Checked "Don't show messages while reviewing a document" in Preferences/General/Messages form Adobe
    How can I make this stop displaying?
    Thanks.

    This was strange.  To be honest, I had never clicked the large "open" folder icon on the left of the toolbar.  Once I did it showed me three options: Recent Files, My Computer, and Acrobat.com Files (cloud storage).
    After actually looking at this feature, and then closing and opening Acrobat Reader again, the blue pop-up does not appear anymore.  I closed and opened Acrobat Reader several times and it does not appear anymore.  Apparently, it's a prompt to get you to look at the feature and prompts you until you do.  I'm not sure why it does not appear on your screen.  Perhaps a feature that is available only to "newer" versions of Windows (7+)?
    I appreciate your help.  Thank you.

  • Why is that every time I start my computer it asks for my Yahoo email password? How can I fix this?

    The computer keeps asking for my password for Yahoo. I already gave it but it asks over and over.  This happens every time I start using the computer.

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
