problem with trial version startup

Posted: 09-03-2003, 07:12 PM
I downloaded the 30 day trial version of photshop 7, and a room mate had used my computer without permission, and changed the date for whatever reason, or the clock was reset or something, but now I can't get into photoshop because it says the trial has expired. The last time I used photoshop, which was the same day it got screwed up, it said I had 22 days left. I have tried to re download it, but it still gives me the same thing. If I can't redownload it, how can I at least uninstall it, or what programs do dll or isu documents use so that the uninstall will go through?

You're pretty much out of luck, Amy. Even automatic network clock syncing can screw up a trial, because it thinks your messing with it deliberately, trying to get around the time limitation.

Get in touch with Adobe Customer Support <http://www.adobeforums.com/images/forumfaq.html#salesorupgrade>. They may be able to help.

Amy,

nope, only way around it is a pretty drastic measure of reformatting your system :(

What you might look into purchasing is Adobe Photoshop Elements. It's a cheaper photoediting software that has many of the features (though obviously not all) of Photoshop. It costs something like $99.
