Can not do a fresh install of the CS2 CDs Pshop: Pshop App Install Option is "Grayed Out".

I have CS2 Premium that I am running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5 - dual 2.3 GHz) running OS 10.4.11. I have had this setup for many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but all of a sudden one day I could no longer run my Photoshop application: when I clicked on the icon of Pshop he would start the procedure of (open) launch... and then almost instantly he would leave (within a few seconds before the application has even had ' title/credit' on-screen).

I recently tried to uninstall CS2 (all except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on a Mac for 20 years and so thought this might be a fairly simple procedure - uninstall-> reinstall, then back to work.  Nope.

I'm looking for a new direct installation the original CD of CS2. In any case, when I try to (re) install CS2 - and after through the standard screens with Adobe and selection of disk usage agreement hard installation - I get to the screen where you choose what applications to install by checking the boxes (or, Alternatively, to install the entire suite) but the "Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2" line and the box are grayed out , so it will not allow me to archive them and to continue the process of installation of Photoshop. Gah!

I've been struggling with this for hours ... but no progress.

Any ideas on what I need to do to allow Photoshop to be installed again?

Thanks a bunch,

PS to the Administration: I was a member of the forum for about 6-7 (?) years, but the site does not accept my ID and password of the user. I filled out the form to have my Userid sent to my e-mail address, but it never happened. I don't know what is happening, but I had to re - register - I used my old user ID - in order to make this post.
