Ok…help. A friend of mine gave me Photoshop to put on my computer…which is running Windows XP Professional. But every time I’ve tried to install it, the same thing happens. I click on Setup…and it acts like it’s going to work then gives me an error message with a big red x saying "Setup Initialization Error"…and nothing else. I’m not sure what to do really so if anyone knows anything about this it would be a great help to me. Thanks.

Hi Britt
have you got the obvious
i) memory 512RAM spare after everything is loaded memory, ii) loads of disk space
iii) oh yes SP2 yah need it (and then I had to upgrade my BIOS too) iv) After I did the SP2 my PC hung etc and had to get apatch from MS

so good luck hope this helps you to get started…( I am assuming you missed these bits initally)

Is the CD damaged? Is there no error number associated with the error message?
