Hi, I'm new here.
I purchased the Education version of Photoshop 7 5 years ago when I took some graphics courses through our local college. It served my purposes well, playing with pictures that I took with my new digital camera, and I have really enjoyed learning as I go.
When the update 7.0.1 came out, I got an error message when I tried to launch it saying that it "could not find a valid copy of Photoshop,..etc." so I guessed it was because mine was an Educational version and gave it up.
I now have OS 10.4.10 and am running out of space on my hard drive. About 2 weeks ago, I tried to get rid of OS 9 and apparently deleted the system preferences for OSX as well! That caused many other problems, which I am dealing with slowly.
Photshop ran fine until a few days ago, when Adobe tried sending some sort of update file as soon as I launched the programme. It tried to download 2 files, and got stuck near the end; the download progress bar stayed on. I could not use the programme. I tried several times, then tried to update Photoshop again in case it would work this time. Again I got the "no valid,...etc. " message. Now, in addition to the download progress bar staying open, another error message appears:
"An error occurred while trying to download a file from the Adobe Online server. The request was not understood by the server. HTTP3400 - Bad Request."
Underneath these two boxes I can still see the Photoshop window - and it says that I now have version 7.0.1.
Sorry for the long story, but some things might be related to the problem. But which?
What do I do next?
Thanks.
