i tried to intsall Adobe Photoshop CS2 and it fails during installation. It gets to like 100% then fails, right at the end. I get a screen saying the error was with my RAID driver. I have 2x74GB Raptors in RAID 0. The controller is the onboard Silicon Image 3112A on my Asus A7N8X Deluxe. I also tried to install it on my 80GB backup IDE drive, and it failed there too. It seems that all the new Adobe products will not work. Acrobat, Premiere, now Photoshop. Whats up with this?

**Update: It seems to be a known problem with Adobe's products that require activation. I can't believe they came out with a whole new suite and it doesn't support RAID. And that doesn't support the fact that I tried to install it on my backup drive, and it still failed. Adobe, is going to lose customers if it doesn't get its act together. I am sorry, but how can you create a product that doesn't work with RAID. I have Photoshop on two of my machines, and it takes SO much longer when I am not on the RAID array. Fast workstations use programs such as photoshop, and many workstations have RAID.

You're suppose to use Photoshop CS2 with Windows XP X64.


Where did you get that? On Adobe website, it shows Photoshop CS2 can be installed in either W2k or WinXP.

Can't be true about 64 bit. My friend runs CS2 on his PIII.

Can't be true about 64 bit. My friend runs CS2 on his PIII. Its the activation that is screwing it up. I guess I will have to get a copy of CS2 from work. We have a multivolume license that doesn't need activation or registration to be installed.

Well, this is what happens. When I install on the RAID array, it crashes right at the end of the installation. I then proceeded to install it on my backup 80GB IDE drive, and it installed successfully. But as soon as I ran Photoshop, it said it couldn't activate or register and that it needed to close. So I was wondering, since I got it to install successfully, if I could then copy the Photoshop folder from my backup D: drive to my C:\Prorgam Files\Adobe directory. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Still need to fix the activation problem though. Wusy, I would like to give this program u have a try.
