Memory could not be allocated for the activation process

My father-in-law, purchased a copy of Photoshop CS at my recommendation. After installation and upon first run, he called me up having received the following error: "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process."

Searches for this error type have yielded no results. I don't believe it is his hardware, as he just purchased a brand new Compaq computer several days ago. It's impossible to determined what he might have done in error, as he is long distance.

Has anyone encountered a similar instance, and if so, what can be done to correct the issue?

Close all other applications when starting Photoshop CS.

Does he have the required mememory specifications to run photoshop.

It shouldn't be a problem. He has 512MB and I had him reboot to make sure everything was running fresh.

I'm encountering the same problem. I can run Imageready, but not Photoshop. My machine has 1GB ram, and I'm running no other applications when I try to run Photoshop.
