Reinstall Photoshop Elements 6 after Hard Disk upgrade on MacBook

Aug 9, 2012 4:40 PM

Hi

I am trying to reinstall Photoshop elements after upgrading HD on macbook 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. OS 10.5.8, 2.5 Gb Ram using SuperDuper 2.1. Tried running the transferred copy of P.E.6 --> hangs while trying to initialize menus

 

 

After searching forums for suggestions I have tried the following

 

1 use adobe installer to uninstall old copy of P.E.6

2 removed /library/Application Support/Adobe~

3. Use Apple Disk Utilities to repair permissions

 

Reinstalled new copy of P.E.6 (downloaded from Adobe.Com)

On starting P.E.6 - goes thru first set of initialization OK

then hangs while trying to initialize menus (spinning beachball)

 

Also installed on a Power Mac Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 (P.E.6 has not been installed before)

- P.E.6 works on this machine

 

any help greatly appreciated

    Try uninstalling, creating a new admin user and running the install from there.

    Created a new user (admin)

    uninstall and re-install PE6

    still no go

     

    does it check the serial number as I have another copy(using same serial number) running on PowerMac G5 (as a test) on the same network?
