I have the Windows version of Photoshop CS2 running on Windows XP, and the following keyboard functions do not work:

1) Zoom Keyboard Shortcut: "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl -" When that key combination is pressed, nothing happens.

2) Arrow keys create "& % ( ‘"
When using the Type Tool, if any of the four arrow keys are pressed, the cursor doesn’t move backwards or forwards- instead, it types either one of these characters: & % ( ‘

Did you get it from eBay?

Yeahh… does that mean it’s pirated?

Very likely. Just do a forums search on eBay and you’ll see what I mean!

Also, there’s been a batch of apparently pirated copies that look very convincing, with glossy manuals and legitimate-looking labels, etc., that say "Made in Singapore" on the disc.

The one I ordered from e-bay was all nice and shrink wrapped, complete with a glossy manual and a sealed CD case- but it does say made in Singapore.

So, I’ve reported it to e-bay, and hopefully I’ll get my money back.

Thank you very much for your help! That’s the last time I ever buy software from e-bay!
