Hi folks_
does anyone know how to reinstall Adobe CS2 (Indesign, Photoshop, etc.) from my La Cie backup drive after hard drive crash and replacement onto my new hard disk? I copied applications over, but they won't open saying there are "missing system fonts or CMaps, please reinstall Indesign or please reinstall photoshop." I tried copying old system folder and old font folder and old Applications Support folder, but did not help. I don't have my original installation disks with me and have a project due ASAP. If anyone knows which fonts or CMaps it speaks of, where to find them and where to put them, please let me know.

I have a MacBook with and 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor.

Thank you!

Thanks_
However, I'm not too confident about Adobe being helpful. When I first bought the software one of the disks had a defect and it took me 6 months of conversations with their tech support and jumping through a hundred hoops to get them to replace the faulty disks. I had to threaten to report them to the State's Attorney General to finally get them to replace them with working disks, so I am doubtful they will replace 2 year old misplaced disks when they would rather sell me the new software. I have a deadline and need to resolve this quickly.

If anyone knows what the missing files are and where to find them, it would be lovely.
