Forgive me for asking Tacit but will the registry details interfere with a full install of PSCS or ACS later on?

I mean the fully fledged stuff from a retailer

I installed the trial version of Photoshop CS and after a couple days had to
delete and reinstall it. Now it says the trial period is expired even

though

I barely had a chance to look at it. I tried to uninstall it the second

time

but that didn't work--still says it's expired when I installed for the

3rd

time.

Yes, that's correct.

When you install the trial version, it records the date and time the trial

will

expire in your system's Registry. When you delete the software, it leaves

this

information still in the Registry; this is to prevent people from

continuing to

use the software indefinitely without paying for it.

You need to remove the Registry information pertaining to the Photoshop CS trial before you re-install the trial version. There are Registry tools available online at places like download.com and versiontracker.com, and

you

can also use the built-in program "Regedit" from your Start->Run menu.
Be aware that editing the Registry incorrectly may make your system

unusable!

The Registry contains information, including the location of driver files

and

system components, critical to Windows; if you make a mistake and screw up

your

Registry, you may have to comp-letely re-install Windows to fix it.
