Hi
I used to have an external HD in which I put everything, well the HD is dead and Adobe was there.
The case is that I can’t download a fresh copy b/c it says that the program already exist, and cannot deleted b/c the location is invalidF (dead hd).I have tried going to registry and delete it from there but the only thing I see with a similar name is ADODB.What can I do? Thanks

Sonia,

I’m very surprised you can get any program to run properly on an external drive as they tend to be orders of magnitude slower in read/write ops than internals. The only use for thme tends to be backup/storage devices. Was PS a trial version? If so it will have written hidden iformation to the boot sector of your C drive when installed. This info prevents multiple reinstallation of the trial version. The only way to reinstall the trial would involve a low level format of your C drive.
If it isn’t a trial version, where are your PS CD’s?

All of them worked.The HD is now dead, and it was the home user free version

So, following your logic, If I have a problem with say, Excel, I can seek a solution in a Word NG, because afterall it’s all Microsoft?
