Restore Photoshop Elements 2 updates lost after System Recovery

I have a copy of Photoshop Elements 2 that came over on the Mayflower in my computer... Last week I had to do a system recovery (restoring to factory settings). I was able to load in the disc without trouble, but the updates to the original software are no longer available. How can I restore the updates I've used and enjoyed over the past what...7 years? Is there a "Key" I can buy, a secret handshake...or maybe a guy who knows somebody who knows a guy?
The program was running in XP.... Stop laughing.

Updates are here

But there seems to be only a minor one for PSE2.

Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 problems (Vista 64-bit)

I have attempted several time to process the Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 but it always ends with the following message:
"Patch cannot be applied. Please Contact Product Support."
I have not had any success searching for this issue under support, and cannot figure out how to contact Product Support.   When Adobe periodically checks for updates, it always brings this update up - so Adobe thinks I need it. ...    But I am able to use the Photoshop - it just occassionally "hangs" and I need to reboot my computer to resolve the Photoshop issue (other applications continue to work).    I did use the "repair" installation options, but that did not resolve the update issue.
Has anyone else seen this problem, or have any suggestions?    My operating system is Windows Vista 64-bit.
Susan

A couple things to try first:
With all applications closed, find the downloaded update file. It's probably in a subdirectory of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles
(Or you can download the patch manually from the support link below.)
Right-click on the patch file and select "Properties".
At the bottom of the "General" tab, if you see a security message about the file being from another computer, click on the "Unblock" button.
Close the dialog by clicking "OK".
Log off your computer and log back on as an Administrator.
Start PSE9 and apply the patch.
If that doesn't work, Adobe support options can be accessed from this page:

Sorry, didn't realize that Photoshop Elements was a separate forum and not part of Photoshop.

I recently bought Photoshop Elements 12 and the system is saying that the Redemption Code is no longer active. How do I get a new code that will allow access to the software ?

you need your serial number. you used your redemption number to redeem your serial number.
if you don't know your serial number, check the account used to purchase or register your pse 12, Adobe ID

Satellite C75D-A7370
ordered recovery media from Toshiba and installed it. .... I tried to call Toshiba support, but because I am outside my warranty, I was told I would be charged for support.
It is running Windows 8..even though it is supposed to be on 8.1 (according to the sticker on the bottom of the laptop).
The product key is buried in the hardware.
According to the spec above, the original model shipped with Windows 8 and needed to be upgraded. My guess is that they later shipped the same model with Windows 8.1.
It appears Toshiba shipped the wrong recovery media.
Explain that when you call.

Windows Update extremely sluggish/useless after system recovery.

Hello there,
While trying to help a friend with his laptop, I have come across a bit of a problem, which seems fairly unique. After having searched the 'net and the Knowledge Base I am about as clued in as when I started, which is to say not very.
Machine: Satellite 1800-412 (Danish).
Did: Recover system to scratch back to XP SP1a (DK).
Problem: After doing a complete system recovery using the original recovery CDs, Windows Update runs *extremely* slowly, if at all, once it gets to the point where it scans for which updates you need. I have so far managed to get one (1) update downloaded, a small one. As an update is attempted the CPU usage peaks to 100% and stays there until I give up and hard reboot, since the machine is now nearly useless and sluggish to the point of appearing frozen.
Tried to: Manually applied different updates downloaded directly from Microsoft, like Internet Explorer 6 sp1, XP SP2 (DK), different updates and patches to XP, downloaded and checked/tried to reinstall drivers from Toshiba (they are up to date). Checked that systems boots cleanly with all devices recognized. Checked the system clock. Searched the Toshiba KB, searched the internet, searched the Toshiba support forum. Pulled some hair in desperation. I must have restored the system 4 times by now in order to try different ways of patching the system with updates.
Peculiarities: It is apparently *only* Windows Update, which causes this problem, and only after the very first little bit, where it updates the Windows Update engine inside Internet Explorer. Before I attempt to run an update the machine apparently works normally. I can surf, download, install and run programs and what not. (No, I did not visit any suspicious websites.) If Windows Update runs automatically in the background / 'in the tray', the very same thing happens: Machine suddenly becomes useless and stays that way.
The machine is on a local area network behind a bullet proof OpenBSD firewall, no other Windows machines on the inside, so there is zero chance of a fast infection from the network causing the problem.
Unfortunately: Manually downloading and applying the patches is not an option as I want to activate Automatic Updates before handing the machine back to its owner.
Hope some of you might have an answer to this one, as I have never experienced nor heard about something similar before.
Frank.

Hi Stefan,
Yes, that might be a possible solution, and I have been thinking along those lines myself. The trouble being that I don't have a CD with the correct version of XP (XP Home Edition, Danish) for which the machine is licensed, and here in the middle of the holiday season I have a bit of a problem tracking one down. I even tried calling Microsoft support and Toshiba to see if they would be kind enough to mail me a spare CD. No such luck.
The machine is used by a friend of mine, who has a severe physical disability. It is his main 'communication platform' and he operates it using a single button switch interface. So every additional day of downtime is a bit of a problem. I will probably have to reinstall it for now using the SP 1a base software, then completely disabling the network interface to avoid infections while I look for a XP CD.
The closest I can come to an explanation is that 'something' that Windows Update automatically installs conflicts with the factory supplied software. The problem happens even with a completely freshly recovered setup, so I was hoping this would be a known if perhaps a bit obscure problem.
Thanks again. :-)
Frank.

Updates for raw files from Nikon D5000 on a photoshop elements 7 /windows 7 system

I have photoshop elements 7 but it won't open raw files from a nikon D5000 although I've followed the links and updated. It still says it won't open because it's the wrong type of file..I've downloaded a DNG converter but still nothing is happening.

You download and installed the camera raw 5.6 plugin, by following install directions on the following page?
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.6 update
If you have a windows 7 64 bit system, then the Camera Raw.8bi plugin goes in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
(the path adobe gives is for a 32 bit windows system)
Also, use the Camera Raw.8bi outside the folder named Win64

Photoshop 7.0 After System Recovery

My computer started this Compaq System Recovery, and every programs I had were deleted and lost. Thank God I still had most of my files. Anyway, as I turned on Photoshop again, it said "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information."
I am in great depression right now, and was hoping to have a reply as soon as possible. I can't live without Photoshop. Photoshop is my life now. But here are some information about my system:
My Computer: Windows XP
Adobe Photoshop Version: 7.0
Computer Crash Date: March 22, 2006
Got the Photoshop from: The PC with it.
If I have to reinstall Photoshop, how? It cost too much, and it came with the PC already. Please do help. I am trying my best to fix this.

On the list of forums in http://www.adobe.com/support/forums.html the
general Photoshop section, for Windows or Macintosh, is called "Adobe

PLEASE PLEASE HELP lost files after system recovery

Hello Everyone,
I did a system recovery, using a backup from last year. However, I lost all saved files since that last backup, including some VERY IMPORTANT family pictures. Is there anything that I can do to get those files back? Please help me guys, I am so torn right now and it's tearing me apart. Thank you so much for any help.

Hi,
I have to agree with "lead_org", as the restore process might have left some "unrestored", but in the same time hidden part. So really in this situation, please try to use some "restore" tool, that will enable you to view "deleted" files.
Not really good news, I do understand it.
Cheers

How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

Restoring from Time Machine after system recovery

If I recover my mac with the recovery DVD and use Migration Assistant to restore all the data of the system before the restoration; what will come back? Will I have my old system on the newly restored mac?

as i said in my first post you don't need Migration assistant here at all. Just do a full system restore from TM: boot from the install DVD, go to the Utilities menu and choose " system restore from TM". follow the instructions. Your system will be restored to the exact state it was in at the moment of TM backup.
