I downloaded the demo of CS on download.com and installed it in english… but the text over the whole program seems to be in a different language.. All I see are boxes and speical charatcers. I’ve tried reinstalling, uninstalling and fixing registry errors, making sure my PC’s language was set to US English and just about everything else I could think of. Can someone tell me how to make this turn to english for me? Thanks.

uninstall it and get it from adobe. you downloaded the wrong language. there’s no way to switch. when you select a language in the installer, it’s asking you what language to display the license agreement in. it has nothing to do with the program. the program is hard coded specifically for individual languages.

You downloaded a localized version. Download the English version instead.

That exact page, yes. I even had to get an adobe ID to do so. Is there anyway to uninstall it from the PC totally? Registry and other things that the uninstaller doesn’t do?

If that information was revealed to you, Jeff, you’d then have to spend the rest of your life hiding in your basement and listening for Adobe’s black helicopters. 😉

Short of reformatting your hard drive, there’s no real way to get rid of a previously installed Photoshop 8 demo and start with a fresh 30-days on a new demo.

I think he can reinstall (even a different language) if he’s still within the 30 days… but I’m not positive.

Can this problem be related to some foreign language settings on the local machine? Jeff, are you in the USA? Is your system set up to handle multiple languages?

Jeff,

Is there anyway to uninstall it from the PC totally? <<

As Phos has said, only be an HDD re-format. Otherwise no-one would ever need to but the retail version…

Jeff – again, you chose to download a localized version (possibly by mistake, but that is what you did). You need to download the English version to get the UI in English.
The language in the installer just chooses which version of the EULA to display – it doesn’t control what gets installed. Your choice of which version to download chose the language of the application.

And yes, reformatting is the only way you’re going to get the demo time back.

There is but a single "tryout" of CS on this site.

"tryouts
151.6MB Adobe Photoshop CS tryout 12/12/2003"

Which is what I chose, then on the downloads page there is but 1 button to click to download it. If this is wrong, please tell me how to get the english version. Thanks.

I also don’t understand. There is indeed only one version for the tryout, and it is in Englsh. I downloaded it a while ago and it installed OK.

Still, there is something wrong with Jeff’s tryout version. What is the language of your Operating System?

Rob

Edit: Ok, I read that you’re on US English.

Another idea: can you make a screen shot of the problem?

That’s the link. Anyway, I think there was something wrong with my C drive. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it on my F drive and it’s working fine. That was quite odd tho. Thanks for all the help.
