I'm not sure if this is the right forum (and I'd appreciate it if people don't waste my time by replying and telling me that I'm in the wrong forum) but I'm going to post here anyway.Basically, I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and I have installed Photoshop CS2 - no problem. However, when I go to register the product online, I am greeted with the message: "An error has occured while trying to begin activation. Please make sure you have administrator privileges and try again.If you continue to experience this problem, try re-installing the application."I've done that, so many times. Re-installing just doesn't work. I know for certain I'm on an administrator account because my account is the only one on this computer. So could someone please help me, and tell me why this is happening?I've read things about Local Users and Groups, but when I search my computer -- nothing is to be found relating to this.Please help.

I am also experiencing this issue. Any help would be useful. Cheers, Lloyd

Hi all, Thank you for the post. To resolve the issue, please try to launch the application with elevated privilege by performing the following steps: 1. Right-click the Photoshop execute file, and select Run as Administrator. 2. Try to register the program again. I performed a researched on this issue in the Adobe website and found that it may be a known issue. Thus, I suggest contacting Adobe for more information if the above steps cannot resolve the issue. For your reference, Ive listed the link of that Adobe KB article as below: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400754 Note: This response contains a reference to a third party World Wide Web site.
