Reinstalling Photoshop Elements after computer crash

Here is what happened. My computer stopped working. Basically if continually froze up after about 2-3 minutes of running, any time I start it up. I took it to my IT guys at work, and even they had trouble. They couldn't back up the hard drive because there were 3 bad sectors.
There inlies the problem... Nothing could be backed up. Including photoshop. So the hard drive essentially started from scratch. They had everything they could get in a "windows.old" folder in the hard drive, which eventually was cleared because it was all useless. And Photoshop said there was a problem with the licence.
Basically, how do I, or can I, regain Photoshop without the disk and activation code? Is this something Adobe will help me with?
The program in question is Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.

Re: Barbara: What my main question is, is will Adobe provide me a replacement PSE7 product/download for my computer? I understand that a code wouldn't work that way.
And to answer another question, yeah. its the same computer, and I have sucessfully reinstalled one other product via disk and code.

  • Trying to reinstall photoshop cs5 after computer crash

    i need to reinstall photoshop after a computer crash.  i inserted the cd, accepted the conditions, but am unable to enter the product code.  Can enter numbers, but not letters.  I am assuming this is because this is a student/teacher edition.  What do I need to do in order to reinstall Photoshop?
    Thank you,
    Jed

    It sounds as if you are trying to enter your product code and not your serial number.  If your software is registered then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW for information on how to locate your serial number.
    If you have not registered your software then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4635085#4635085 which discusses how to obtain your serial number from your product code.

    You need to uninstall PSE before you can reinstall it. It sounds like you didn't properly remove it. Use control panel in windows. PSE for windows doesn't do repair installs.

  • Problem reinstalling photoshop CS6 after a crash

    My computer crashed last week. I had to change the motherboard and the main drive where software was installed.
    when installing Cs6 from the original disk it says my serial number is correct but in my computer there is no valid product for this serial number.
    The disk is the original one, the serial number is the one I have in my adobe account and in the back of the box
    I cannot deactivate the previous installation as the trial version give you no access to this option.
    I had a chat with support service but they were not able to help me and redirected me to a phone number.
    ¿Can someone help me?
    I am runing windows 7

    Sounds like your problem isn't one of activation but of having Photoshop properly installed.
    You may need to go through a reinstall or possibly a complete removal followed by a reinstall.

  • Re-installing Photoshop Elements after a crash

    Following a computer crash, I lost PSE 10.  Some elements of the old version have remained on my computer.  I have downloaded PSE 10 but when trying to install it, the installer will only try to uninstall the old copy.  How can I convince it that there is no other copy?

    photoshop element 2.0 - on windows 7. the program ran fine on the old HD, but this error popped up when I re-installed it on the new HD
    Elements 2.0 is an old version. The message may be due to the fact that your new HD is much bigger than your older one, and not due to the classical reasons:

  • Reinstall of adobe elements after computer crash

    My dell computer decided not to boot. Had to do a system reset. All after purchase programs have to be reinstalled, but my data is still intact. What is the best way to do this? I am not sure where the "catalog" is located. If it is under users then it is safe; if not, I am not sure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Just give it a go anyway, there's a fair chance it will work, if it doesn't you will have to call Adobe, the program will give you a phone number to call.

  • ? I recently reinstalled Photoshop Elements after having printing problems my photo files have gone

        I recently had problems with printing on my HP printer and discovered it was to do with PSE
    After reinstalling PSE on my Mac I could now print photos again but all my photo files were lost. I have reinstalled PSE in the past but not had this problem.
    Can anyone help?

    It may be that application is not opening the default catalog that was set before uninstalling the application . Please search for pse<version>db file e.g. if you are using pse10 than .pse10db file. There may be multiple files. Please look for folder name, folder name would be same as catalog name. Once the particular folder has been found go to File->catalog, click on Browse button, browse to folder location and select it open catalog.

  • Unable to re-activate Photoshop CS after computer crash

    I have been using Photoshop CS (original) since it came out. It does everything I need to do, so I do not care to update to a later version.
    Recently, it was necessary to re-format the hard drive of my computer because of a virus. I did not realize that it is apparently necessary to de-activate Photoshop before doing this.
    I'm now in the process of re-installing my software, but Photoshop will not allow me to re-activate, either by phone or online. What can I do?

    The activation server for CS2 (and CS) has been permanently decommissioned by Adobe. It no longer exists.
    You now need to re-download a non-activation version of CS2 from Adobe. Also applies to CS users.
    See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    You must also use the new serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • How do I reinstall illustrator trial after computer crash and restore on windows os?

    I recently installed a trial version of illustrator on my laptop and finished my first project. My daughter then crashed my laptop and I had to do a complete restore. Now illustrator is gone, although it shows up as up to date in my creative cloud file. I can't reinstall the trial bc adobe shows the program as installed, but all of my project files are gone as well as the illustrator program ={
