I have been running my registered legal copy of PhotoShopCS for several
years now with no problems. Then the IT people installed Office 2007 on the
computer and added more memory.

When I tried to run PhotoShop after that I got the message "the
configuration for the activation license is missing please uninstall and
reinstall this application". I did that several times with no luck.

I then contacted Adobe and they haven't been much help. The guy told me that
he had to talk to some other people since he couldn't figure out a solution.
He called back the next day. He ended up sending me a file to update the
activation process. Well, that didn't work.

I have no clue what to do next except go back to working with PhotoShop 7
until I bug Adobe enough to get an answer.

Any one else ever have this problem??

This is probably a stupid question, but if it's inaccessible, how
can Adobe write to it?

Those directories and files are still available. I was referring to the
part of the disc you cannot touch without special tools. It is called a
sector, sometimes zero sector.

We call it Opening non-file structured. IOW, as the OS would use it.
