My friend burned me a cd of Photoshop 7 and ImageReady for my birthday. I put the cd in, and opened the files. I tried to click on the main icons for both, but a dialog box appeared saying that it could not complete my request because of missing or invalid personalization information. Where do I go from here?

Thank you.

What you and your friend have done is illegal. My suggestion is take the CD, break it in half and then either buy a a legal version of Photoshop or learn to live without it.

Megan,

Straight to Court when Adobe Legal get round to reading your post!

I suggest you remove that illegal copy of Photoshop immediately.

I did this once with my hands. Shards everywhere, fortunately not in my eyes.

Rob. Megan is a girl’s name and I think Megan is real and just extremely innocent. Shouldn’t be too hard for Adobe legal to find either. How many Megan Frances Thompsons are there out there?

Ya’ll are kinda harsh. Ya’ll probably scared the girl half to death. You could have explained it in a nicer way and not keep posting smart @ss comments with each other. And maybe there are a thousand Megan Frances Thompsons in the world so don’t be so cocky.

"Ya’ll probably scared the girl half to death."

Good.

There’s just not enough good old-fashioned scaring half to death goin’ around these days. I hope she soiled her knickers, darkly.

Andrea,

What is evil is Theft, and software piracy is just that. Theft. Plain and simple.

You people are evil.

Ahhhhn-drea, Right. that’s why we hang out here and help dozens of people a day with their system woes for free. We’re really evil and when their machines are fixed and working fine, we just want them to send a hundred and sixty nine bux to adobe to upgrade.

"Pity the poor wittle pirate. It’s only a cd! What’s the harm in that? Besides, I can’t afford it anyway! You guys are evil. Boo frikking hoo!", said 100,000+ "friends" to each other last year. which is why we legitimate users now have to suffer with activation as well as high prices.

besides, i’m not evil. i’m just a naughty boy.

Get a life. I bet you support PETA too, right? Got any of that spare time you spend championing the oppressed that you can lend me?

sincerely, dave the evil one.

Andrea,

My Girlfriend never stops reminding me that men never grow up, and I’m conviced she’s right.

And I like to keep it that way!

And I second my friends here when they say that theft is wrong.

I never said theft wasn’t wrong. It is. But, I think the way the comments were made to that girl could have been made in a nicer way. It seems as if the comments were made to scare her and that everyone was making fun of the situation instead of explaining to her exactly what it was that her and her friend were a part of. This girl obviously is innocent and doesn’t know that what she did was wrong or else she wouldn’t have posted it here for the wrold to see. Someone could have simply said that it was illegal and explained to her how to go from here. Not make childish comments as if no one here cared to help just wanted to poke fun at the situation.

clicking on your name reveals you’ve helped zero people in this forum andrea. don’t you have something better to do? I say we vote you off the island if you have nothing constructive to offer besides defending pirates and berating those that DO help.

I didn’t see you ask a question. Not nice language for a lady either. Does your mother know you use language like that?

F— you DAVE!!!!!!!!!!! I come here for help!!!!!!!!!!!

First piece of help I can offer: one exclamation point per phrase.

Ya’ll are not offering that girl help.

The reason "Ya’ll" aren’t offering her help is because she’s asking for help doing something illegal. Furthermore, coming into the forums and asking for piracy help is like walking into a cop-shop and asking for tips on rolling a tighter doobie.

Ya’ll are being f——g children and making fun of the whole situation.

Yes.

I am not defending what she has done. I am only saying that ya’ll are being a——s!!!!!!!

Sounds like you’re defending her. Asking us to offer her help is taking her side.

Ya’ll are acting as if someone who pirates copies of software should be stoned or hung.

Mmmm….stoned. And who’s to way only pirates are hung? I’m quite hung!

All you men on here need to get f—–d!

Amen to that, sister. I could really go for that right now. Are you offering?

I didn’t ask ya’ll to offer her help to pirate.That would be stupid. I thought that the comments that were made were only poking fun. She obviously has no clue that what she has done is wrong like I said. When I say help, I mean explain nicely that what she has done is wrong and explain to her how to make right in her wrong. Not help her activate a pirated copy. Ya’ll are misreading what I am saying.

There is no misreading post 20.

Take your own advice and reread posts 1-5 before you chimed in. One and Two was not condescending.

Three: thought the original post was a joke.

Four: corrected the assumed gender.

Five: acknowledge the mistake in Gender.

Six: That would be you starting this mess.

Check yourself, check your language and prove yourself not to be a hypocrite by your own actions.
