  • "SERIOUS ERROR HAS BEEN DETECTED" CS2

    I am owner of Creative Suite 2 (academic version). I have the serial number for her records, and he is registered under my name. I use Mac OS x 10.6.8 as my operating system.

    I used Photoshop CS2 last night with no problems. This afternoon, I tried to open a file in Photoshop, and my file does not open. After a few minutes rotation beach ball cursor, a notice pops up saying something like "an error has occurred" and something for me to have to save it because the 30 day trial has increased, and if I register, I wouldn't be able to use the program more (but as I said, I have a copy of CS2 ", it isn't a trial). And he gave me the opportunity to register, but when I tried, it did nothing and just took back me to the same screen saying the same thing. So I closed it. But since I did it, was opening Photoshop, showing all the tools and everything, but I still get the rotation beach ball cursor. And now a screen appears after a while saying "sorry, a serious error has been detected. To continue using Adobe Creative Suite, please reinstall the application".

    Then... I reinstalled Creative Suite 2. And it STILL does the same thing. Telling me to reinstall CS2 again. And NOW, Illustrator won't work, either. At least until I reinstalled it, Illustrator worked. I don't have the time or patience to keep reinstalling.

    PLEASE HELP ME! I NEED THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

    Thank you in advance,

    Tiffany

    I finally found a solution!

    OK, so apparently, Adobe has decided to stop supporting the server for CS2 in December 2013. I did not know that.

    This is what caused the problem. You must download the online programs and use the numbers given here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2%5Fdownloads

    It worked! And I'm back using programs again once without any problems so far.

  • Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

    Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

    When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

    I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

    I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

    If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
    Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

    Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

    Good luck

  • Satellite C660D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected

    My laptop is a * Toshiba Satellite C660D-11th * and I have a message that keeps coming up every once in a while 'alert system' head and reads as follows: "WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." (Next line) Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service. »

    I had this warning for the coming weeks and it tolerated, but it worsened and annoyed me for the last time. I can hear the fan and the computer is not over heating (the CPUCool freeware tool detects a 51º CPU temprature C). No further questions arise as the computer slows down, it is right in the path of what I do, like typing right now.

    I tried to solve the problem by changing the "Power Options" in the control panel of Windows 7 'High Performance', and then selected under the 'battery' both 'Sector' columns, 'Never' for the parameter "put the computer to sleep. It seems to work, and no error message has occurred since then. However, this is not a solution...

    Please help quickly, this prevents me from working and even other things now.

    Hello

    Usually, this message would appear if something is not wrong with the cooling system. But I read here in the forum that maybe it's a bug of software and after new system recovery this message should no longer appear.

  • Pro NAS ix4-200r "failure has been detected" but what kind of failure?

    I have a NAS Pro StorCentre ix4-200r that reports "data is available, but a failure has been detected." However the event log no is not actually tell me what type of failure has been detected.

    In the settings, the discs show normal. I went through the manual and each control panel and there is no reference to what the error is referring to.

    How can I identify the real fault? The message means that the data corruption has been detected? A disk is a failure? This Smart triggerred a function call? It checks external drives? Is there a way to get the logging level and the coup an integrity check / diagnosis?

    Go ahead I either need to disconnect and check each one individually using something like Seatools (which won't help if it's simply the corruption of data), drive or format the SIN and start over (which will not help if there is a failing drive). Any ideas?

    It is strange that the sdb and SDC are out of use, but SDS 3 must be the HDD in slot 1.

    If you really want to test this situation, you can remove the disc and then re-run the log dump and check with the same process.
