Photoshop lost in windows 8 re instillation.

Hello.
I'm afraid technology and myself are not best of friends.
My sons  17 inch sony vaio laptop computer is a little over a year old. We purchased it from the Sony outlet uk store with photoshop elements (10 I think could be wrong) installed.
over the past two months the computers operating system windows8.1 starter to have a mind of its own and following "support" from Sony I was advised to reload windows 8. I backed up photos and data and reinstalled windows 8 loosing office and photoshop.
I contacted microsoft and was able to recover office and likewise conacted adobe Expecting the same response.
Not so.
I need a key code apparently and yes I don't have one. I will be very surprised if Sony can offer me this based on my dealings with their after sales support.
Has anyone any ideas apart from get your wallet out again.

Oh, I see. Well, you'll need to figure out which version it is. Hopefully you registered it or you may be stuck. But go to the main page of adobe.com and sign in there, then click on Manage Account and hopefully you'll see the version number and your serial number in your purchases there.

  • Troubleshoot installation problems in Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista

    This document can help you to resolve system errors that occur while you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista. System errors can manifest in many different ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
    A blank or flickering dialog box
    A frozen cursor or screen
    A blue screen
    An unexpected restart
    An error message such as:
    "Setup is unable to load the installation script file."
    "Unable to create a directory under C:\Windows\System. Please check write-access to the directory."
    "Uninstalling: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
    Note: If you attempt to install Photoshop Lightroom to a drive that doesn't have the minimum required space available, the installation will fail. You must then completely reinstall to another location that has sufficient free space.
    Many different factors can cause system errors, including conflicts among device drivers, applications, operating system settings, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files. Although a system error may occur only when you work with Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Lightroom may not necessarily be the cause; it may be the only application that uses enough memory or processor cycles to expose the problem.
    To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in order. Keep track of the tasks that you perform and the results of each, including errors and other problems. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.
    You must be logged on as an administrator to perform some of the procedures in this document.
    Important: Some of the procedures in this document may initiate a User Access Control dialog that asks for your permission to continue. Read the details in the dialog to determine if you want to continue. If you choose to cancel the dialog, then you will not be able to continue with that troubleshooting step.
    The steps in this document that refer to the Control Panel are in reference to the Classic view. For information on switching the Control Panel to the Classic view and many other common OS procedures, see Common Microsoft Windows Vista procedures (TechNote kb401275)
    Some of these procedures require you to locate hidden files and hidden folders. Some procedures require you to locate files by their full file names, which include extensions (for example, example_filename.ini). By default, Windows Explorer doesn't show hidden files, hidden folders, and file name extensions that it recognizes.
    To show hidden files, hidden folders, and all file name extensions in Windows Explorer:
    In Windows Explorer, choose Organize > Folder And Search Options.
    Click the View tab in the Folder Options dialog box.
    In Advanced Settings, select Show Hidden Files And Folders.
    Deselect Hide Extensions For Known File Types.
    Click OK.
    Note: The procedures in this document are based on the default interface of Windows Vista. If the interface is customized, some procedures may vary. For example, a commonly encountered difference is the navigation to Control Panel from the Start menu: You may navigate Start > Settings > Control Panel instead of Start > Control Panel. Additionally, the procedures in this document assume you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel: To view the Control Panel in the Classic View, click Switch To Classic View on the Control Panel navigation bar on the left side of the window.
    Beginning troubleshooting
    The tasks in this section can help you resolve the most common system errors. Before performing any of these tasks, back up all personal files (for example, Photoshop Lightroom files you created). Always restart the computer after a system error occurs to refresh system memory. Continuing to work without restarting the computer may compound the problem.
    1.Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for PhotoshopLightroom.
    Photoshop Lightroom may not run correctly on a system that doesn't meet the following requirements:
    Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
    Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
    768 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)
    1 GB of available hard-disk space
    CD-ROM drive
    In addition to these requirements, a video card that supports 24-bit (16 million) or more colors, and a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, is recommended.
    * Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until Adobe fully certifies Photoshop Lightroom for use on Windows Vista.
    To check basic system information, such as processor speed and how much RAM is installed, choose Start > Control Panel > System.
    2. Delete previously installed application files, especially if you had the public beta version of Photoshop Lightroom installed.
    To delete files from a previous Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installation attempt:
    Choose Start > Control Panels > Add or Remove Programs.
    Select Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and choose to remove it.
    Close the Add Or Remove Programs window and the Control Panel.
    Open Windows Explorer.
    If the Lightroom.exe file is still in the Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder, delete it.
    If the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file is still in the Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder, delete it.
    Empty the Recycle Bin.
    Try to reinstall. If you cannot, continue with the next two sections in this step:
    Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Presets. These are the presets that were installed with the application and that you created.
    Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Previews.lrdata folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Previews. If you have a large number of images, you can move this folder back to its original location before you open Photoshop Lightroom, once it's installed. Or you can delete this folders to re-create it when Photoshop Lightroom opens. If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, it might be due to corruption in the previews, in which case you need to delete this folder and re-create it.
    Try to reinstall.Important: Do not delete the Lightroom Database.lrdb file!
    If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, these issues may be due to corruption in the preset files you created, in which case you need to remove them and re-create them, or test each preset individually.
    Note: If you can reinstall, and if this is not the first time you opened Photoshop Lightroom, then Photoshop Lightroom will look for a library database file. If it does not find a library in the expected location, it will prompt you to create a new library, locate the library, or exit. Exit will close the dialog box, and Photoshop Lightroom will not open. Although you can tell Photoshop Lightroom to locate your library, it's best to put it back in the default location and then open the application.
    If you can reinstall, close Photoshop Lightroom and then copy any presets you created from the Lightroom presets on the desktop back into the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
    If you cannot reinstall, then move the Lightroom Database.lrdb file from the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom folder into a new folder called Lightroom Database File and save this file on the desktop. This is your database, if you previously had Photoshop Lightroom installed.
    Reinstall Photoshop Lightroom. If you cannot reinstall, continue with the next task in this document.
    3. Log in as Administrator before installingPhotoshopLightroom.
    In Windows Vista, you must be logged in with local (that is, machine) Administrator rights to install Photoshop Lightroom. If you don't have administrator rights, contact your system administrator for assistance.
    4. Check the CD and CD-ROM drive.
    Dust or dirt on a CD can interfere with an installation and prevent the CD-ROM drive from recognizing the CD. Examine the Photoshop Lightroom CD for dirt, dust, or fingerprints. Gently wipe the bottom of the CD from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth.
    Verify that the CD-ROM drive can read other CDs. If it can't, examine the CD caddy or loading tray for dirt, and clean it with a lint-free cloth. If it still can't read other CDs, contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer or the computer manufacturer.
    5. Install current Windows service packs and other updates.
    Updates to the Windows operating system improve its performance and compatibility with applications. You can obtain Windows service packs and other updates from the Microsoft website at www.windowsupdate.com. For assistance installing service packs and other updates, contact Microsoft technical support.
    Important: Before you install a system update, check the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom (and any third-party software or hardware you may use with Photoshop Lightroom ) to ensure compatibility. If the update isn't listed, then contact Adobe or the manufacturer of your third-party software or hardware.
    6. InstallPhotoshopLightroomfrom the desktop and use the default installation folder.
    Some system components such as device drivers and virus protection utilities can conflict with the Photoshop Lightroom installer and result in an incomplete or failed installation, or they can cause problems when you install to a folder or when you use a path to the default installation folder that contains a special character, such as #. To prevent these conflicts, install Photoshop Lightroom from the desktop, and use the default folder name and path.
    If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
    Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
    Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    7.Re-create thePhotoshopLightroompreferences file.
    Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause:
    Quit Photoshop Lightroom.
    Rename the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file (for example, to Lightroom Preferences.old) in the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
    Start Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop Lightroom creates a new preferences file.
    If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file.
    8.Install and run Photoshop Lightroom while no other applications are running.
    Some applications may interfere with installing or running Photoshop Lightroom. Virus protection programs are meant to stop viruses from installing on your computer. Before installing or starting Photoshop Lightroom, disable other applications, including virus protection programs and startup items (items that start automatically with Windows).
    To disable startup items and non Microsoft services:
    Quit all applications.
    Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
    Write down all unselected items under the Startup and Services tabs.
    Click the General tab, and choose Selective Startup.
    Click the Startup tab and select Disable All.
    Click the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services.
    Select Disable All then re-select FLEXnet Licensing Service. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, then leave it deselected (disabled).
    Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
    Note: Upon restart, you'll be notified that the System Configuration utility has made changes to the way that Windows starts up. Click OK. When the System Configuration utility appears, click Cancel.
    Right-click icons in the Notification Area and close or disable any startup items that are still active.
    9. Install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items and installing from the hard disk.
    Hard disk problems can prevent Photoshop Lightroom from installing correctly. By installing Photoshop Lightroom to a different physical hard disk, you can verify if the original hard disk is preventing installation. First, completely remove Photoshop Lightroom from the hard disk.
    To install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items:
    Follow the steps in task 8 above to disable startup items.
    If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
    Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
    Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Click Change and select a different hard disk in the Change Current Destination Folder window. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
    Intermediate troubleshooting
    If the tasks in the previous section don't solve the problem, try the following intermediate troubleshooting tasks.
    10. Install and run Photoshop Lightroom in a new user account.
    Create a new user account that has the same permissions as the account that you use when the problem occurs. If the problem doesn't recur, the original user account may be damaged. For instructions on creating a new user account, see To add a new user to the computer in Windows Help or contact your system administrator.
    11. Optimize handling of temporary files by Windows Vista.
    Windows and applications store working data in temporary (.tmp) files that they create on the hard disk. Excessive or outdated temporary files can interfere with performance of Windows or applications.
    Delete temporary files by using the Disk Cleanup utility included with Windows or by using the following instructions. Make sure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written. To start Disk Cleanup, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. For information about Disk Cleanup, see Windows Help.
    To manually delete temporary files:
    Note: Windows deletes temporary files when Windows and applications close normally. However, when Windows or an application crashes, temporary files can accumulate on the hard disk. Windows may prevent you from deleting some temporary files as they may be in use. Delete as many temporary files as you possibly can, without deleting the files that are in use.
    Quit all applications.
    Choose Start and type %tmp% in the Search text box and press Enter.
    Delete the contents of this folder.
    Note the drive letter where this directory is located.
    To ensure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written:
    Choose Start > My Computer.
    Select the drive noted in step 4. Right click and select Properties.
    Confirm the drive has at least 1 GB of free space.
    12. Repair and defragment hard disks.
    System errors can occur if hard disks contain damaged sectors or fragmented files. Repair and defragment hard disks, either by using the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter utility included with Windows or by using a third-party disk utility. You should run such utilities on each hard disk or partition. More information about the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter appears below; for more information about a third-party disk utility, refer to the documentation for the utility.
    The Error-checking tool repairs bad sectors, lost allocation units and file fragments, cross-linked files, and invalid file names. To access the Error-checking tool, choose Start > Computer, right-click the desired hard disk, and choose Properties from the menu. In the Local Disk Properties dialog box, click the Tools tab, and then click Check Now in the Error-checking area.
    Note: To prevent Disk Defragmenter from moving files to bad sectors of a disk, run the Error-checking tool before running Disk Defragmenter.
    Disk Defragmenter rearranges the files and free space on your computer so that files are stored in contiguous units and free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. To access the Disk Defragmenter utility, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
    13. Scan the system for viruses.
    Use current anti-virus software to check the system for viruses. Virus infections can damage software and cause system errors. For more information, see the documentation for the anti-virus software.
    14. Try to install Photoshop Lightroomon a different computer.
    Try to install Photoshop Lightroom on a different computer to determine if the problem is unique to your computer. If the problem is unique to your computer, contact the computer manufacturer; if the problem occurs on multiple computers, contact Adobe Technical Support.
    Advanced Troubleshooting
    If the tasks in the previous section don't resolve the problem, you may be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, reformatting your hard disk and reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, or by determining if hardware is conflicting with Photoshop Lightroom.
    Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support hardware and provides these procedures as a courtesy only. For further assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. If you troubleshoot hardware problems yourself, you may void the warranty for your computer.
    Note: Before you remove or rearrange hardware, turn off and disconnect power to the computer and any peripheral devices.
    15. Log in using the built-in Administrator account.
    The built-in Administrator account has a higher access level to the system than a normal local administrator account. By default the built-in Administrator account is disabled. For information about enabling and logging in to the built-in Administrator account, contact your system administrator. You can also refer to this support document on the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926183/en-us?spid=11737&sid=73.
    16. Reformat the hard disk, and reinstall only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom.
    Reformat the hard disk, and then install only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom from the original installation media. Reformatting a disk erases all files it contains, so be sure to back up all personal files first. Also make sure that you have all application and system disks.
    For instructions on performing a clean installation of Windows Vista, see document 918884, "How to install Windows Vista" on the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com.
    Note: Don't install additional software or hardware until you're sure that the problem is resolved. Don't back up the hard disk and restore Windows and Photoshop Lightroom instead of reinstalling them. If the problem is caused by an application or Windows, and either one is restored instead of reinstalled, the problem may recur.
    After you reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows and Photoshop Lightroom, try to re-create the problem:
    If the problem no longer occurs, then install other applications one at a time and try to re-create the problem after each installation. If the problem occurs after an installation, then the recently installed application may be the cause.
    If the problem occurs when only Windows and Photoshop Lightroom are installed, then the cause may be hardware-related, and you should contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller for assistance.
    17. Check for problems with RAM modules.
    Ensure that the RAM modules are installed properly and are not the cause of your problem. Do one or both of the following:
    Change the order of the installed modules.
    Remove all but the minimum number of modules needed to run Windows and [product], and test to see if the problem persists. If it does, replace the modules you removed and remove the others, testing again to see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, then one or more of the removed modules are the cause. For assistance, contact the RAM manufacturer.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
    Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
    Thanks

    No issues.
    On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

    Looks like the first two warnings are security level warnings meaning that your silent install will not grant the correct security level for what ever reason. I suspect it needs admin level maybe?
    Here is a link. Read #8 as it has to do with silent installs. The log will give you more hints on what you did wrong.

  • How do i deactivate a photoshop key in windows.old?

    I've been pulling my hair out over this one and can't find any answers after many google searches.
    I'm running windows vista, and got some weird virus the other day that wouldn't let me open any programs or see anything on my desktop and my only real option was to run the system restore disc.
    Well, i did, and it worked, but i couldn't deactivate my photoshop key before doing this. Now photoshop is in Windows.old and obviously won't open, so i can't deactivate the key. How do i deactivate it when its stuck in windows.old? there has to be a way...

    Thanks for the quick reply! i feel like im already getting closer to solving this.
    I was actually a bit confused by the support section and which number to call or which option within support i should choose. I spent about a half an hour trying to find an email address i could send my question to, but couldn't find one.
    So i guess what my question now is, where would i find the right number for the type of support i need? Which area within support should i go to?

  • I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes deletes all data

    I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes wants to  deletes all data off of my iphone so i click cancel
    i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

    If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer.  This restores the library and device association files.  If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

  • When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

    When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the same issue:
    "Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
    If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
    4. Event Viewer
    5. Application
    You will see something like this:
    Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
    "Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
    Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

  • I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • How to find Photoshop 5 in windows 7

    I just wonder where I can find photoshop 5 in windows 7, I mean the catalog photoshop installs i windows 7?
    Tank you

    When you install programs in Windows you can usually change the default install location, so only you can really know what the correct path is on your computer.
    If you left the default location as is, the paths could be:
    For the 64 bit version:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe
    For the 32 bit version:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe
    If you installed Photoshop correctly and are just looking for an easy way to launch the program, I recommend to use the Windows 7 functionality to pin the Photoshop link  to your Start menu or to the Task bar.  Then you don't have to worry about the location yourself at all.
    Click on the Windows Start Button at the lower left corner of your screen
    Select "All Programs" to display all the programs on your system
    Navigate to your installed Photoshop (if you left the default setting it should be in an Adobe folder)
    Right click on  the name of the program "Adobe Photoshop CS5" or "Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)" if you have 64 bit Windows
    In the context menu select either "Pin to Task Bar" or "Pin to Start Menu"
    You will then have the correct link either in your Task Bar or the Start Menu, depending on what you selected.
    Good luck!
