PSE12 download difficulties with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2

After 4 attempts and 4 failures and equally 4 uninstall operations, I have yet to get a functional version of PSE12 purchased online at the Adobe website in Dec, 2013.  Furthermore, my Adobe account does not list this purchase...YES, I do have a copy of the original purchase receipt both hard-copy printed, and pdf-copy-saved, at the time of purchase.  And, yes, my Visa card provider lists Adobe posting this purchase.  However, Adobe never emailed me to confirm my purchase nor give me a link to download the software!  I did register my PSE12 serial number at my Adobe account site a few days later.  That is the only information Adobe shows on my account regarding my as-yet-unobtained PSE12. 
I have a 5 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2 that also seems to have all the requirements to use PSE12.  I have PSE6 now on the machine, and, really love its features.  I do not view any video on this laptop, i.e. no movies or video games, just occasion short YouTube-type videos.  This is word-processing and image-processing workhorse.  I do a fair amount of PhotoShop work with still images, and, simply wanted the latest upgrade of PSE.  Adobe was offering it at a good sale price.
I have been online to chat with Adobe telling me to go through the trial download version, then 'buy' it by giving the serial number.  That worked once, but, did not generate a functional app.  What is Error 105???  I have had at least two phone calls with Adobe, one with a rep who could not help, and, the other with a rep whose foreign accent was almost impossible to understand.  I am hearing-inpaired, and, mere audio-volume enhancement is not always enough trying to speak with someone for whom English is not their native language. 
So now what?  I do not have high confidence that Adobe can or will fix this.  I have posted several detailed reports at their security site because I was concerned that my downloads were being hijacked and possibly my credit card information compromised.  They say they do not have my phone number, though it is posted at my Adobe account site.  Adobe Photoshop and Adobe's pdf options are very good programs that I used for years, first with Apple computers, and, then after 2008 with a Windows PC.  Has Adobe become overwhelmed with cyber-security problems?  I'm about at the point where I want my money back.  Can anyone suggest an image-application as good as PSE? Help!

Mj2ePhD do you receive the Error 105 when you are in the Adobe Download Assistant?  If so then please see solution 4 in Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html#main_Solutio n_4 for information on how to resolve your current difficulties.
Alternately you can bypass the use of the Adobe Download Assistant by download Photoshop Elements using the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html.  Please make sure to complete the Very Important Instructions prior to scrolling down the page and clicking on the download links.

  • While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

    While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

    Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!

  • Writing file with windows 7 and vista os..

    hi,
    since i am using Windows XP operating system with Labview, i made a executable file and i trying to install with Windows 7 or Vista OS installed PC.

    is there any method has to set these file for administrative rights on Windows 7 and vista OS?
    i am using Labview 8.6 version
    Regards,

    You would need to log into the computer with an account that has administrative rights. Or, you could configure the application to run under the administrator account. Both of these are Windows operations.
    Or, you could fix your code so it doesn't do that.

  • Im getting error 2 when tryig to download ITUNES with windows 7, you know what i can do?

    Im getting error 2 when tryig to download ITUNES with windows 7, you know what i can do?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Downloading Lightroom with Windows Vista

    Can I download Lightroom 5.5 with Windows Vista?

    Downloading LR 5.3 isn't a problem, but running it will be, as it isn't supported. You could take a look at this http://www.doerg.es/doku.php?id=start:computer:lightroom5vista. I would point out that it is not supported by Adobe.

  • Wireless printer sharing with windows 7 and vista operating systems.

    hello can anyone help me?
    i have a new HP pc with windows 7 OS, and have an epson PX710W 3in1 printer.
    i want to connect a laptop with vista OS to share the printer (wireless set up).
    the pc will print documents ok via wireless link, but when i power up the laptop it appears to inhibit the printing function (document will not print).
    i have set up file/ print sharing but there is the problem. it appears to me that sharing is only possible between pc,s etc with windows 7 OS via the homegroup set up. Has  anyone encountered this problem at all, has anyone any ideas? or is it a configuration problem that i'm not aware of?

    I found that I had issues with getting all of these to work - individually.  I have an XPPro (32) pc trying to print to Win7Ultimate printer - printer is shared with all settings wide open, works great with another 7 or Vista machine, but same errors
    as above for XP.  I got it to work an old way, and then the "local port" way worked.  I don't really know why as yet, but I am investigating.
    My Solution -
    1. As stated in other posts, install the printer locally on the XP machine.  Make sure that it prints.
    2. Connect the printer to the 7 machine, print a test, then change the file and print sharing options to "yes".  I also installed the "Universal Driver" for my printer - HP1200 Laserjet.
    3. Make sure that the Network type that the 7 machine sees is "Work" or "Home", not "Public". -  I don't know if this really  did anything or not, but I did make the change - mine thought the network was "Public".
    4. Go back to the XP machine, if you get errors when you add the "Local Port" as suggested, then do this -
    Warning Old Dos Trick -
         -  Open a Command Prompt, then type (without quotes) "net use Lpt1 \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERSHARE " - where "computername" is the name of the computer and sharename is the shared name of the printer
    on that computer.
        - you SHOULD see "command completed successfully", if not check to make sure that you have rights on the 7 machine.  Now you should be able to print a test page to the printer. CAUTION - it took awhile for the changes to
    take, so you may have the hourglass looking at you for a few minutes. - Once you reboot this will not work as the connection is just for that session.
    To explain: this command is the dos version of what happens when you re-route output to a different destination - thus any traffic to LPT1 goes to \\computername\sharename.
    5. After this worked, I then could add the "local port", as detailed earlier and had no errors.
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • I recently purchased an older model computer with Microsoft Me from 2000. It doesn't have a web browser and I would like to download Firefox. Where do I find the download compatible with Windows Me and how do I download it?

    I have looked in your web site product downloads and I am unable to find a web browser download that is compatible with Windows Me from 2000. What am I missing? Is there a web browser download that is even compatible? It is just a second computer for my grandsons to use and do homework on, but I am unable to get up the internet.

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.

  • Trouble playing downloaded audiobooks with Window Media Player

    I can’t get audible book downloads from Net Library to play on my computer. Microsoft Windows Media player v9 and above is required to listen to eAudiobooks. I have this version. When I try to launch a download I get the message: cannot open file; verify file and path are correct. What do I need to do?

    Hi, kathy. Welcome to the Discussions.
    The Net Library audio books you are downloading are undoubtedly using a version of WMA-DRM (Windows Media Audio - Digital Rights Management) later than version 1.3. According to this post on another forum and related info on Microsoft's Web site here, version 1.3 is the latest version of WMA-DRM supported by WMP9 for Mac OS X.
    In other words, the audio books use a later version of DRM (specifically the Microsoft Windows Media Rights Manager ) than that supported by WMP9. They simply will not play in WMP9.
    Flip4Mac will not help you here:
    • It clearly states on this page that "Note: Flip4Mac does not support content that is protected with Windows Media digital rights management (DRM). "• Flip4Mac would not let you convert the WMA-DRM-protected files to QuickTime files as this would require cracking the DRM protection, a violation of the U.S. DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).
    Accordingly, you're out of luck with the Net Library audio books that do not play in WMP9 unless you have a PC running Windows and WMP10.
    That Net Library went with files protected by WMA-DRM is a sore point for many Mac users. Search for Net Library in this page for some examples of similarly frustrated users.
    Good luck!

  • TouchSmart 610z CyberLink Media Library Service issue with Windows Home Server Connector

    After unboxing and configuring my TouchSmart 610z PC at one point I noticed that they TouchSmart "Photo" app stopped working.  Whenever I launched the app, I would get an error message stating that "Cyberlink MediaLibrary Service has stopped".  
    I called HP support and after trying several things, the rep advised me to do a full system recovery (Factory Defaults).   After the recovery, I started configuring (installing software and tweaking settings) and at some point the same thing happened again.  I tried to go back to various system restore points, but once the problem starts ocurring, it persists.
    After another fully system recovery, I started installing/configuring things 1-by-1 and testing the Photo app after each step (VERY time-consuming).  Finally I discovered that the "Windows Home Server Connector" software is what seems to cause the problem.  The connector itself works as intended, but there seems to be some conflict with the TouchSmart Photo app that causes the error message to appear/persist.   For what it's worth, my Home Server is an HP MediaSmart Server EX475.
    Anyone successfully connect their TouchSmart 610 to their home server and successfully run the TouchSmart Photo App?
    Seems like this might be a bug of some sorts.

    I see some message about a proxy. Have you checked that you can use the proxy from you network?
    If not you should turn the proxy off.

    If they don't have a Mac version and you must have it, you'll have to install Windows in Boot Camp or similar app.

  • Mavericks Broke connection with Windows Home Server - SMB

    Reinfire,
    I tried your terminal window patch but it failed to solve my issue.  Most people seem to be trying to connect to NAS devices from their Macs.  In my case, all my data is on a Drobo hanging off my Mac Pro.  I've been using SMB to share video from my Mac to both a Boxee Box and a Raspberry Pi running  Openelec (XBMC).  While both these devices can handle afp, the old Boxee Box is less than astute with afp so SMB was the method of choice for stability.
    Anyway, both devices can no longer see the SMB shares off the Mac Pro, even after your patch.  After runnig you patch, I restarted and the nsmb.conf file is created.  But, no luck on connecting with these apparently non SMB2 devices.
    I can change all my shares over the afp but this will take a lot of button pushing that I'd rather not do.  Any suggestions for this scenario?

  • Can I download Latest iOS 5 on my iPad2 with Windows Home

    After downloading the latest version onto my iPad it warns me that if I go ahead it could reset all my settings and loose all info?
    Hence after 45min download I have not accepted
    Any suggestions
    Thanks

    The update to iOS 5 will remove all your content from the iPad, but as long as your content is on your computer and accessible to iTunes (music, films, apps etc) then it should be automatically copied/restored back after iOS 5 is installed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • How do I download Photoshop for windows xp and vista.... I currently pay per month for photoshop and a computer running vista i ned to install photoshop on two aditional machines. How can I download, photoshop says I have an os that is no longer supported

    I have a computer running windows vista that I pay per month for photoshop, I want to use photoshop on two other computers I have, not that it matters but they are both identical hardware wise, and software one runs xp and the other runs vista, I can upgrade but I am not intrested in other os. When I attempt to download I am told that my os is no longer supported. Now i know that I could find an offline version and should be able to get it installed but im not sure of a safe site that provides the iso or install exe. I want to use the other two computers because they have touch interface early computer/tablet highbird. thanks in advance.

    Michaelt65951582 I am sorry but you will need to run at least the minimum operating system to use Photoshop.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop.  I would recommend upgrading to Windows 7 or later.  You may find that your computer can support the more recent operating system depending upon the hardware installed.
