Problem loading CS2 disks

Trying to load CS2 onto Win 7 machine. PC gets through disk 1 fine (takes about 20 minutes). The PC cannot read disk 2. Physical disk looks to be in perfect condition. What to do?

Forget the discs.
They won't work anyway since they contain a copy of the software which requires activation - and Adobe shut down the CS2 activation server a couple years ago. So your CS2 serial number will never successfully activate the software again.
Download a copy of the non-activated CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Install then enter the new non-activation serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • Problem loading CS2 with Version 5 not 5.5

    When I try to load CS2 the computer says it can't find a copy of 5.5. I only have 5.0. Is there a work around or do I need to buy a copy of 5.5? Thanks, Lou

  • Problem loading cs2 on my 10.5.8 but cs1 runs just fine...help?

    I have an older G5 tower that is running 10.5.8 and have had photoshop cs2 on it since about 2006 and friend gave me a copy of Adobe Creative Suite standard and CS2 premium upgrade. I figured I needed to uninstall photoshop so I did and then  I finished installing everything I can't load any cs2 programs, the cs1 programs load fine so this is where I am asking for help. how can I get the cs2 versions to load?

    Here is what the warning said
    "The installer has detected an installation on Version Cue 1.0 on your computer. Please see the user documentation for information about running Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue CS2 simultaneously, as well as how to migrate projects from Version Cue 1.0 to Vesrion Cue CS2"
    so far that was all I came across.

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • Windows 7 problem loading  CS4ext.

    Hi. My problem started when I decided to use Windows 7 Home Premium and Photoshop CS4 Ext, .upgrading from XP Home and CS2. Prior to loading these I reformatted my HDD's etc using an 80GB drive for C:// and  repartitioning a 320GB drive to 150GB and 150GB.  Windows 7 is on the C: drive, but now I cannot load the Adobe PSCS4 ext. DVD disk.  Each time I try it comes up with Access Denied. I am not too well versed in software and wonder if anyone can sulpply a solution.. I know there are some compatibility problems with some older programs. Thanks .

    Have you tried opening the DVD in Explorer, navigating to the 'setup.exe' folder, and right clicking on it to run it as administrator?
    This might work.

  • . I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load my music videos to it. I have had no problem loading my music CD's but no go with the music videos I have. Please HELP. Thanks maxsdad

    Hello:
    I am new to IPods. I have a Classic 160GB and I can't figure out how to load Music Videos to iTunes or the IPod. I have had no problem loading my CD's to iTunes and to the IPod, but no go on the Music Videos.
    Please Help
    maxsdad

    B-Rock:
    Ok. Here's the results. I tried all the music videos I wanted to put onto the IPod and the results were:
    I was able to get good results with 2 full length music videos and 2 video singles(only 2 videos on each disk). For a total of 4 videos.
    I was able to encode 5 full length music videos, but the results were distorted (video and audio).
    I was unable to copy 2 full length videos due to error failures. 1 was a "No Title Found" error, the other was a "NAVDAT" error.
    I guess my next question is: Do you know of any other program(s) that I might try, to see if I can get good results with the videos that didn't work with Handbrake?
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

    Hello,
    I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
    "Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
    I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

  • I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

    I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
    Please Help!

    CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
    The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
    May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
    How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
    Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution
    It has free demo version at:- http://www.illustrator.repair/
    Hope this will be helpful.

  • Creative Master Suite CS5 - Win 7 - Cant LOAD Second Disk!

    Have Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection CS5.  Windows 7 - Have serial Nukmber OK
    Problem:
    Part 1 of the install goes perfect using disk #1 and 51% is done.  Problem is that Disk 2 DOES NOT LOAD. It keeps asking for Disk 2.  Disk 2 has files on it OK.  I used it last month on another Machine to Load just Photoshop.  The disk surface looks good.
    Whats UP? Why cant I continue the Master Collection Install?
    Im now downloading the trial version hpoing I can install from that...amd then use my serial number.
    Can I also use my Master Suite 5 serial Number with Version 5.5?
    Thanks!!

    Create disk images using ISOBuster or similar tools, then mount them as virtual drives and run the install. if it works on one system and not the other, these may be mundane hardware issues with your optical drive.

  • Error "problem loading more pages"

    Using XP SP3, IE 8 and Acrobat Reader X, I have been trying to look at a document identified by a website as .pdf.
    I see what appears to be the first page of that document - ie it makes perfect sense in the context of the website - but at the foot of the first page a message appears reading:
    "Whoops! There is a problem loading more pages. Retrying..."
    and nothing more happens.
    On another PC, using XP SP3, IE 7, and Acrobat Reader XI, I cannot even get that first page up - after clicking on the link to the document, nothing happens,
    Can anyone guess whether this is a problem with Acrobat Reader or IE? and if so, what might be done to fix it?

    Your link is on Google Docs, which uses its own PDF viewer.  I can see all pages with no problems.
    If you use the download button on top of the page, you can download a perfect PDF to your local disk.
    If that Wordpress page is yours, I would suggest that you upload the PDF to somewhere where it can be viewed with the browser's PDF plugin, not with the Google Docs PDF viewer.

  • The download icon from my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk does not appear on my laptop.  Where can I find it? How can I download the program?

    When I load my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk onto my recently reconfigured laptop, the icon to download and install the program does not appear.  I have tried opening it through a Finder window, but haven't had any success.  How can I download this program to my computer?

    Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
    clips, not just the movie)  to a external hard drive. I thought publish
    would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light
    up. I'm using Elements 11 and I'm trying to save it to a hard drive so I
    can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

  • Problems Loading Programs

    Hi, I'm having some problems loading programs, specifically the game Neverwinter Nights 2.
    It has been working fine for a month or so. Now when I click to load, the icon jumps a few times then nothing.
    - I have reinstalled the game, but with no success.
    - I have tried to repair the disk permissions in Safe Boot mode.
    - I have unsuccessfully searched for Plist files connected to the game (found none).
    - I have tried to load the game via a New Login account, with no success.
    Im Reluctant to do an 'Archive and Install', as I have no idea where have my app disks are.
    Has anyone an other idea's? Loosing the ability to play the game is annoying but I'm more worried that this may happen to other more important applications in the future!
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thank You!

    Don't even think about deleting Quicktime, it's an integrated part of the OS.
    If that (or any other) game is that important to you, and you are prepared to lose the security fixes in QT 7.6, then it is possible to revert to an earlier version of Quicktime:
    If you wish to downgrade Quicktime to 7.5.5, (even though you will lose the important security fixes contained in the 7.6 update, and you will also find that parts of iTunes 7.6, iMovie and iChat may not now work without QT 7.6) there are two methods for doing this (note that attempting to manually delete Quicktime from your hard disk is doomed to failure. QT has components all over the place as it is used by many applications):
    (Note: I am running 10.4.11. Some things may be different in Leopard, but the principle should be the same.)
    First: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and drag the file QuickTime750_Tiger.pkg to the trash, and delete it.
    1. Perform an Archive and Install process to remove all of the QuickTime update's (and potentially problem-causing) components, and replace them with the components of the older release. Unfortunately, this means you will lose some system settings and some or all third-party system add-ons. This method is therefore longwinded and inconvenient, but will ultimately work. Because QT is an integral part of OS X using an archive and install to also downgrade to a previous version of OS X so that the various versions can work in the intended tandem, is the safest way to do it. But there is also another way:
    2. Install Quicktime 7.5. in such a way that it overwrites the QT 7.6 files without interfering with your other system settings and third-party add-ons. This can be done using a shareware (you can use it a few times for free, but worth paying for and having) application called Pacifist. This method works perfectly:
    (Note that there separate QT 7.7.5 installer packages for Leopard and Tiger , and you can get them here:
    For Panther: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime74forpanther.html
    For Tiger: http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime7_5_5_forTiger
    For Leopard: http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime7_5_5_forLeopard
    Make sure you download the correct version for your system!
    If you don't have it already, download Pacifist from:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    and install it.
    Open Pacifist, and drag the icon of the QT installer to the Pacifist window. This will have the 'open carton' icon. Click on this, then click Install from the top left-hand corner of the Pacifist menu. You will be asked if you want existing files replaced. Say yes to all. Job done!
    You will now have Quicktime 7.5.5.x installed.
    N.B. Repair permissions and restart both before and after installation.

  • Upgrade to CS4 when CS2 disks lost

    I lost my CS2 disks, but Adobe Web Support said I could still purchase the CS4 upgrade instead of the full version because I have the CS2 serial numbers.  The problem is, I'm upgrading to a brand new computer.  In order for the CS4 upgrade software to work, doesn't the computer need to have the CS2 software installed on it?  Is there a way to get the CS2 software from my old computer to my new computer without disks, or am I forced to buy the full version for my new computer?

    No, it doesn't need to be installed. The serial number should be fine for verification.
    Did you register CS2? If so, and you have a problem, you can call Adobe for help with the installation.

  • Problems installing CS2 after uninstall

    I am having a problem with CS2 after an uninstall. I recently got an error working with In-Design and it had me fix the problem of course I had to do a full uninstall and reinstall.
    When I get to the auto install problem it will open than immediately close doing nothing. I have even tried to make a copy of the disc to the hard drive and install that way and it will get to the password part than stop to work.
    I have also followed the manual removal instructions to remove all adobe programs.
    Also tried the moving disc 1 and 2 to the hard drive mount them and run the install.

    No to both I'm afraid. CS2 can't be used on a Mac running Yosemite. The only version of the Creative Suite that qualifies for an upgrade is CS5. Your options are to buy CS6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud.

  • Footage changes once color project is loaded from disk

    Hi all,
    I have a big problem in Color 1.0.4.
    I send a 20 minute edit from FCP to Color. All is fine. The edit is the first part of a marriage service. A shoot taken with two camera.
    I did originally put the sequence together using Multi-Cam, but then I replaced all the clips with the originals as I had problems when I first went into color with this.
    The problem is that one of the angles appears to have lost the information as to where the INOUT points are...This happens once the color project has been loaded from disk. (ALL is fine until I shut Color and reload the project). The sections in the sequence where this camera is used always plays the source file for that camera from the beginning. (A shot from outside the church!) This is causing me all sorts of problems and I cannot seem to get past this. I need to save the work and then re-open in FCP to see what the grade looks like as I don't have an external monitor.
    Any help with this would be appreciated.
    The thumbnails show the correct footage from the camera. Adding a section to the render queue results in a render of 1 frame. Even though the IN and OUT points on the Color timeline show roughly 20 seconds, the render view shows an in and out point one frame apart...
    Thanks in advance,
    Richard

    What is/are your sequence codec/settings?
    I know I get this sort of behavior on my external monitor if I've got a Kona export settings mismatch, but not on the timeline.
    When you observe the application running back to "first frame" on park, but finds the correct images on play, sort of infers that there is a broken reference somewhere in how FCP is recalling the media.
    Bad container? frame rate mismatch?
    But before you re-edit, can you save the effort to this point by "Baking out" a movie of the sequence?
    It would be at least interesting to know if QT finds the right media at your edit points. At that point, a fairly straightforward movie could be razored and sent to COLOR...
