Registration Screen in Re-installed CS2

I have installed CS2 on a new computer running Vista Ultimate.
When I first opened the program, a screen presented requesting me to Register.  I completed it, submitted it, they thanked me and I and was offered two premiums, an Adobe font or a limited subscription.
Now, everytime I launch CS2 I get the same screen after the "home" page is displayed.  I can "not register" or "next".
How can I eliminate the reappearance of this annoying screen?

Did you buy CS2 recently?
If it had been installed and registered earlier, this should not happen.
Maybe Michael's suggestion will work though.

  • GoLive CS2 (8.01) and registration screen

    This may have been addressed, I did try and do some searches also if it has. I have a Windows 7 PC that I have Adobe GoLive CS2 (8.01) installed on and running. However each and every time I start the program, the registration screen comes up. I would like to find the steps to suppress the registration screen since it still is happening after completing both activation and registration for this product.
    Any steps to try and resolve this?

    Found a discussion on running CS2 with Vista and mentioned in the thread that this is a Windows UAC issue, so no need to reply what it would have taken Adobe Tech Support 1 minute to report to me. They refused to even offer any assistance on the minor issue.... as Windows 7 as their tech stated is not compatible with Adobe GoLive CS2.
    This can be considered as solved. If anyone else has the same problem right mouse click launch the program with the run as adminstrator option and either register the package or click on do not register and then you will not be nagged about registration again when opening the program.

  • Registration screen loops on 10.3.5 install

    Hello:
    Here's a rather new one for me. I just acquired a B/W G3, 400mhz with 512mb of Ram. I tried like crazy to get Panther to install. With the help of Xpostfacto and a little luck I got Panther installed on the machine. Here's the issue I'm having......on boot the registration screen comes up, then I fill out the info, press continue, then the screen goes black, then the registration screen comes back up for me to fill out the info again, and again, and again, etc! It just loops and won't get to the next step. Normally I'd just wipe the HD and try to re-install but since I had such a rough go with it, I'd rather just try and figure out how to get past the point I'm at now. Any ideas?? Thanks.
    Brad.

    Thanks for the responses. Yes, I know I don't need XPostFacto for this machine. However, I was getting nowhere without it. I'd get to the white boot screen, the spinner would spin and then freeze after about 20 seconds. With XPostFacto I got it to install, but now I can't get past the registration screen. I'll most likely just start completely over with a fresh battery, zap PRAM, reset CUDA, etc....unless anyone has any other suggestions.
    Thanks.

  • Registration screen keepa coming up

    I have just installed CS2 on a new computer with Vista home premium and the registration screen comes up ever time I open the program. I have had CS2 on my old desktop computer and laptop using XP with no problems.  The program works fine after I get the registration screen out of the way, but it is a nuisance. Can  anyone provide a solution

    It has to do with UAC (User Account Control). UAC isn't allowing something to be written to the registry. Turn off UAC before registering.  After the computer restarts, open  Photoshop and go through the registration process. You won't have to do it again.
    Control Panel<User Accounts and Family Safety<User Accounts<Turn User Account on or off<uncheck the box "Use User Account (UAC) to help protect your computer"<Okay. Note: Your computer will have to do a restart for this to take effect.

  • NEW TO THE FORUM NEED HELP INSTALLING CS2

    I just bought an older version of CS2 for Mac from the original owner and when I tried to install it the software is no longer supported by my Mac. Can I install CS2 on a new Mac? And if so how, I have all the cds and the registration number. The original owner no longer has a Mac and can not use it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You can only run CS2 on Macs running OSX 10.6 or earlier. It won't work on newer Macs using Lion or Mountain Lion (OS 10.7 and 10.8).

  • I am trying to install CS2 but I receive a message that my serial number is invalid.

    I have been trying to install CS2 on Win XP. (My old laptop died, I still have the original disks, serial #, etc. but was unable to use because of the activation problem). I downloaded all the files from the website referenced above and tried to follow the instructions here and in the pdf. However the files that downloaded to my computer did not have the names that are mentioned in the pdf. The files that downloaded were called CreativeSuiteCS2Disc1, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc2, CreativeSuiteCS2Disc3, CS2.0_WWE_Extras_1 and VCS2. Also, I was never given an option to "install later".
    However I was able to "extract" the files. They extracted into different folders, and after reading through this whole thread I was able to move the files around in the folders until they look like those in message 123 later in this thread that pictures all of the files that should be in a folder together (mine are in C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0).
    However I still can't get it to work. If I try to run the installer in any of the programs (for example Photoshop or Illustrator), when I enter the serial number given on the website I get the message that the serial number is not valid.
    Help!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
    The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
    When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
    I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
    Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
    So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
    So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
    But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
    I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
    (I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
    I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
    Thank you very much!

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Registration screen blank and unresponsive,

    I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Version, and was eager to use it when I got the registration screen...and it froze.
    It just blanks out after selecting "Do Not Register" and "Register Later"
    I don't know how to fix it...can you guys help me?
    My computer's hardware is:
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
    Radeon X800 GPU
    2 Gigs of RAM
    110 gigs of freespace
    Using Microsoft XP SP3
    Let me know if you need any other information.

    > and as the only way another user could reply is if they had that EXACT problem and also had a solution,
    I've noticed this message from you several times, John. Often in cases like this where there is a possibility that another user has had the exact same problem, and thus might have an answer.
    I suggest that you shorten your message to "You may need to contact Adobe for help, and the following two lines" which will seem less naggy.

  • Installing CS2 so I can install cs4 upgrade on windows 7

    I just got a new pc has windows 7 pro OS and need to install my adobe CS. I have CS2 with a CS4 upgrade.  As you can probably guess i am having trouble getting the cs to install. I would like to upgrade to cs 5.5 but if I cant get the cs 2 on to upgrade to cs 4 I doubt i can get a cs5.5 upgrade installed!   I have tried installing cs2 a couple times and keep getting the serial number screen.  When I uninstalled it I had to deactivate it so it would seem that it was acttive just unusable. I will try running the cs4 uopgrade in thje AM but was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a waste of my time or is there actually a way to get this installed and working properly.  any help is greatly appreciated.
    Keith

    I bought it from Adobe. Full upgrade price. It was about 3 years ago -
    about. I wanted a backup in case Freehand tanked. Kept using FHmx and
    forgot I even had CS4. So FHmx tanked Friday and I can't get it to show
    the toolbars. So, I'll  install CS4 and work all weekend on this rush
    job. I'm on a Mac. OsX.6.8. Also on Aleve until I get this solved!

  • Error when registring Provider after finished install the portal.

    Error when registring Provider after finished install the portal.
    Hi.. we are using Oracle9iAS 9.0.2.0.1, Sun Solaris 8.
    Our problem is, after we finished installed the iAS, then open the Portal, and we tried to register a provider, we get these errors:
    "You are not authorized to view this page"
    "This component ID: 1068970504 has no existing versions - you need to create one first (WWV-01808)"
    "Error : Failed to service the client. No further information available"
    "Error: The XML parser encountered an Error, and could not complete the conversion for portlet id=6,343, it returned the following message: XML Parsing Error "
    can anybody help?...Should we, after the installation, should install any patches?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    When you boot from the install disk, before you proceed through the install screens, first go to the Installers menu, and choose Disk Utility. If the internal drive appears, select it and click Repair Disk. See if you get errors, and if Disk Utility is able to correct those errors. If the drive does not appear, you may have serious drive issues which another drive utility (such as DiskWarrior) may be able to correct, but it may be severe enough to necessitate replacing the drive.
    Since you've already tried Erase and Install, can I assume you have a backup of any files you need? If not, if you have access to another Mac, can you restart the G5 in Firewire mode (restart with the T key held down) and connect it using a Firewire cable to your other Mac. If the G5's drive appears on the other Mac's desktop, copy across any files you need.

  • Re-Install CS2 on Win VISTA but setup.exe now does not respond

    I successfully installed and ran my legal, registered CS2 Production Premium on two different Win VISTA 64 machines, first on my  original desktop, then my current laptop, which is what I now use.
    Each time,  CS2 installed OK. I had learned the "trick" was to stop the installation  after the last program, before the suite proceeded to do the final  steps. If I failed to stop prior to those final steps, the error message  about registration occurred. If I stopped prior to the conclusion of  the installation, then each program worked fine.
    HOWEVER...  I recently downloaded and installed CS5 demo, then removed CS5. I had uninstalled CS2 in preparation (because of disk space and potential conflicts). I cleaned the registry, as I also did after uninstalling CS5.
    When  I went to re-install CS2 (using the original legal disks), now the setup.exe program DOES NOTHING. It  whirs when clicked, as if it's launching, then sits idle, not performing any tasks.  I've let it "try" for hours, but no results.
    I have: clicked on the file from Windows Explorer, I have opened a command line window and run e:\>Setup.exe, I have even copied the disk to the desktop and tried to run Setup.exe from there. There is never an error message. There is only no activity whatsoever from setup.exe.
    During the  time of the last successful CS2 installation and the current attempt to  install, there have been several Vista updates installed on the  machine.
    So, I have successfully run CS2 on Vista 64,  but not since removing the CS5 demo. My system is a multi-core AMD 64-bit processor running Windows Vista Home Premium Build 6002 with all Microsoft updates applied. (And yes, having not had any paying  job in almost three years, I cannot figure out a way to fund the  upgrade...and, of course, Adobe has cut off support of any kind for  CS2.)
    Does anyone have experience and a solution?

    CS2 is completely unsupported under Vista and Win 7. 64 bit makes it even more difficult.
    Unfortunately, you're on your own here. Best bet would be to upgrade to CS5 and you should take note of the fact that if you don't and you wait til CS6 ships you will be out of the upgrade loop altogether and will have to pay full price.

  • Help with installing CS2 in Snow Leopard

    Can anyone help me with installing CS2 on a MacBook running OSX Snow Leopard? I have trouble with activating the product and get a splach screen with a monkey element or  logo rather than the adobe logos... confusion reigns!

    Hi Rory, be aware that running CS2 products on Snow Leopard isn't going to be a supported combination. Here's a related thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499253. Apparently some customers have been able to run CS2 software on Snow Leopard. You can also check with our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. However, I can't be certain that they'll be able to assist you. You might want to consider upgrading.

  • How to stop the registration screen

    I have had to reinstall my copy of FCE-HD. Since I had already registered when I first installed it, I don't want to send a second registration for the same product in if I don't have to. Is there a way to stop the "reminder to register" screen when I start up the program? It's not a major issue but it is annoying. Or, would the second registration of the program simply overwrite the first registration I had sent?

    A second registration wouldn't do anything. It's the only way to stop the registration screen.

  • Can't install CS2 Suite when CS5 is present?

    I'm not sure where the problem is, but I am trying to re-install full, fresh CS2 Suite (on 10.6.4/Intel MPB).
    I have bits and pieces of CS2, CS4, and CS5 on the machine currently.
    When I try to install CS2, all the options are greyed out, except Photoshop. I can't do a standard install either, only custom.
    See:   http://bayimg.com/PaNomAaCe
    I don't think this is a Snow Leopard problem, if I boot into 10.5 (Leopard), I get the same problem.
    Its been a while since I needed to install older versions while current versions are present, and I seem to remember issues, but I am at a loss on this one.
    Any help or ideas?

    It won't let me get that far in the Suite installation. When the installation pops up, I click on the Suite and that's when it blocks me telling me that my screen resolution isn't high enough. I can't get to the screen that allows me to choose between complete and custom installation.
    Thoughts?
