searched google.
searched adobe troubleshooting.
nothing worked.
photoshop cs is fine, but when i try use the trial of cs2 i just downloaded & installed, it freezes when i have opened it.
how is one suppose to trial a piece of software when one cannot even use it
btw, before you ask about my computer specs or anything, theyre all compatible and more than good enough, so it is not that.
any ideas? or anywhere you have seen a solution to that i must have missed?

trust me this computer has no spyware or viruses.Photoshop sucks up your resources but just because your specs are over what is required doesent mean that they are currently availible. Check your computer for spyware and viruses and make sure nothing is running that shouldnt be.
Hope that helped!
apart from the fact its been connected to the internet for all of three or so hours i also have this uptimer thing which shows which resources are taken and how much ram is free etc.
thanks, but anymore ideas?

did not/have not had any adobe products running when i opened it either of the 5 or 6 times ive installed ittry closing all adobe products, press cntrl alt del, processes, make sure they arent still running and try again. If it doesnt work uninstall it, reinstall it but install it in a different directory.
installed it in the adobe folder the first time and straight into program files the 2nd.

bluemage: i downloaded it, installed it, skipped the activation part seeing as i dont have an auth code thingi or whatever it is, went to open it, and it seemed like it was working but then when i went to hover over the file menu it didnt turn blue. so i tried clicking it, and it froze. i thought 'ok, maybe i should wait a bit', so the next time i just left it, went for a fag, and when i was back..... yep you guessed it... it was frozen. when it freezes it is AFTER that intro menu thing that shows the credits etc. also when it happens the mouse cursor turns into the little hour glass thing like its loading something and keeps going.
it doesnt really effect the performance of my computer either i can leave it frozen in the background for 20mins and it wont slow me down or anything.
whats wierd as well, is that image ready work absolutely fine?

I can't run CS2 even though I have everything they say I need to run it.
I tried several times on the trial and the same thing, kept freezing up on me.
I'm also on XP Home.
