Just wish to introduce myself.
My name is Greg.

After many years of using PS5 and PS6, I was finally able to scape up
enough money to get a new Photoshop package. I was able to get an unopened
boxed edition of Photoshop CS2 (Windows) for approx half the current value
of CS3. I paid approx 500 Australian Dollars.

My problem occurred while trying to install.
The program would totally install and when expecting the installation to
ask for a restart, this did not eventuate. Upon starting the program it
appears to send the registration details and then comes up with the
following error message and then immediately closes.

Error detected, Activation cannot continue please restart windows and
reinstall the program.

Could any one out there in the group please tell me what this means, as I
can not find any answers, Adobe has not been of any assistance. I have
tried reinstalling several times including onto a brand new hard disk.

Many thanks
Greg T.
