Once the software is installed, it will not be removed under normal circumstances.
I do not know if your computer is still infected and it is removed or the problem is that you can't 'see' photoshop' but it is always installed.
to verify this, check the installation directory and check its size on your hard drive.

Hi Keith,
You won't be able to re - install using the discs and the number of series that you used initially, but we have a solution.
The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software. For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:
Activation server stops for Creative Suite 2 and Acrobat 7 product Macromedia
Instead of your old serial number, use the one shown next to the download link: download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

Hey Janeynflorida
1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Windows Vista
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
If that does not read this information
the link below is how to download and get a vista disk startup repair, which you can start from the

During the summer, I tried to download a free photo colorization program and I think that, in doing so, I accidentally agreed to Yahoo my default browser. My Mozilla Firefox flaw opens on Yahoo and other Yahoo features. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but it is always default to Yahoo and I noticed that I have more windows pop up after this connection to Yahoo. I just disappeared and redo my popup settings and will try and change my default screen, but I wish I had my old original Firefox without any Yahoo. For example, say my toolbar File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools, Yahoo!, help. I just really want to get rid of the intrusion of Yahoo. On the troubleshooting page I noticed that my Extensions configuration includes the toolbar Yahoo! and RivalGaming, which began to be the provider of many pop ups or independent of opening screens when I click on particular objects or best I wish to see. I want to get rid of both.
The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:
- Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
- Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
- Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .
This solve your problems? Please report to us!

Hello Sher.
If you are talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 from your keyboard to make the Menu bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be visible at all times, go in view > toolbars > Menu bar, or right click on the Navigation bar (for example, the Reload button), and then select menu bar.
If this does not help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select Customize... and click on restore by default. If it does not immediately appear, try pressing ALT or F10. You can enter in view > toolbars > Menu bar to make it visible at all times, or with the right button of the Navigation toolbar and select menu bar.
If none of this helps, you may have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Try to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

B9180 printer on and offline cycles have tried to delete and then re-add printer
MacPro. Software up to date. B9180 line offline cycles. USB connection. Have you tried to delete and then re-add printer, did a power reset on the printer.
After these steps, a photo will be printed, and then the trash again.
Help
I don't know if the hub is the reason or not - but a powered hub is the better of the two options in the case of a USB connection.
If it was me, I connect the printer (temporarily) and remove the hub of the mixture just to see if it is the cause or not. If this isn't an option, what to connect to your home via ethernet and withdrawal/re-adding network as a network printer?
Remove the hub of the equation is just standard troubleshooting - get rid of the 'intermediaries' so to speak. Factors less in the equation, it is easy to sharpen the first cause (ideally the narrowing down to printer hardware or software of the computer/workstation). From what you have said so far, I doubt very much that the mac or the mac software is the issue. However, we need to refine the material until we can find the component that is causing the problem.
Other things to try to understand:
-Try a different outlet (remove the outlet, as the question)
-Try a different power cable (eliminating the feeder as the question)
-Try a different cable USB (USB cable like the question to eliminate)
-Try another port on the USB hub powered (port currently used on the hub so that the question of eliminating).
Because of the limitations of distance, looks try an ethernet configuration could have the least impact on your configuration, because the ethernet connections do not require a Repeater cable up to 100 m distance.

I've upgraded to the latest Firefox, but something prevents reading Web sites that I've updated. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall.
At first, I thought it was a specific Web site, but I found that it is affecting my sites on a set path. Yet once, I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It doesn't seem to affect one of my other internet browsers.
It would not be a problem, but most of the sites are demanding I upgraded and even disabling certain features until I do.
Your user agent is corrupt and which identifies you as Firefox/3.0.13
see your user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073022 Firefox/3.0.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
