    So about a year ago I bought the CS2 Suite and it worked fine...but after not using it for about 3 months I get an error when trying to start up Photoshop (something about my serial being fake WTF!??!! you know how much this cost me??!!!). Anyways I decided to uninstall it and then reinstall it, but since I didn't install it in my C: partition and my computer crashed and I had to wipe that partition CS2 is not listed in Add/remove programs. So I decide to go into the directory where I installed it (D:\) and I try running the setup.exe...now I get "Error reading setup initialization file". So finally I try running the .msi file which only lets me install Photoshop again and does not give me the option of uninstalling th broken one. So now I have no idea how to remove it!!! Any ideas?

    Note: I had to install each program in the suite separately because my computer did not meet minimum requirements.

    regards,

    Contact Adobe directly. Since you purchased CS2, they should have no problem giving you assistance.

    I'll try removing it manual first if all else fails I'll give them a call.
