Hi bagtay,

You can try this :

If you want to install CS2 it should be in a 32-bit OS environment like Windows XP. But Windows 7 has a solution for this.

1. Right-click on the installer file (.exe file)

2. Select Properties then go to the Compatibility tab.

3. Put a check on the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” then select the previous OS which do you think it worked. For your case select Windows XP with any Service Pack.

4. Then under Privilege Level, place a check on “Run this program as administrator”

5. Click Apply then OK.

Note: Effective December 13, Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 because of a technical glitch.If the software title you have purchased is affected by the activation server being shut down, but is not available for download in the previously referenced pages, then please contact our support team at http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html. Please be aware our support team will not be able to provide assistance for downloading or installing the Creative Suite 2 software.

The CS2-CS3-CS4 activation servers have been removed from service
