Recently purchased a new computer with 64 bit system 4meg ram. I installed CS2 and everything seems to be working except the arrow keys and the control +/- features. Arrow keys are working in other programs like word and publisher. Any suggerstions?
#1
Where did you get your CS2 from?
#2
I bought it on e-bay. It was a new factory sealed package.

Yes, but which factory?

If it's too good to be true...
It was a new factory sealed package.
Shrink wrap equipment is cheap.
Further, even a legitimate copy of CS2 would be unsupported under Vista 64 and XP 64 is a completely unsupported operating system for any Adobe software.

I believe that it is a legitmate copy of CS2. I know Adobe does not offer support for CS2, that is why I am using this forum. Are you saying that cs2 should not work with vista 64?
#6
CS2 on vista 64 is a 'try at your own risk' kind of thing.
I run PS7 on my PC at home with Vista 32....alot of people can't do that...it just depends.

I would bet that you have a fake did you read the thread to see how to check it?

I believe you believe it, in fact, I believe the seller may even believe it...But if I were a betting man I'd bet against it.

Non-functioning arrow keys was a hallmark of one of the pirated versions, if I remember correctly.
#10
I read the thread, but I do not understand how to check if it is legitimate or not. Does the Pay Pal plugin tell you that?
#11
No. Calling Adobe does.
#12
CS2 should work with Vista 64, it ran fine for me.
The companies that make pirated version are, just that, companies that have multiple burners, printers for the jackets/serial number tags and shrink-wrap equipment to make them look like the original.
I could get a small company like that running for under 10K and make 100x that before I was discovered being I'm a manufacturer with a retail chain (read E-Bay).

@Bart Cross
Actually most are criminal enterprises and you're right; they're businesses. Here in Toronto we have a large Chinese population. One such "company" was raided and it was just a normal Industrial Park garage, that had rows of burner jukeboxes patched via a router to a workstation. The criminal enterprise then sells to bona fide retailers for a cheap price. This works because most of these ethnic mom/pop stores prefer to sell in cash to customers whom want a sharp deal.
It's not a legit business that burns/makes the software available; It's organized crime. Organized gangs deal in a lot of such businesses; anything that they can make a quick buck in. Yes shrink wrap machines are cheap nowadays.
