Photoshop Help

[Spiffing]

Sorry didnt know where to put this ;[
Right yesterday my mum unistalled Photoshop CS2 so today i installed it back onto my computer. Its installed fine, it opens and then pops up the serial key bit, so i put in the code (its right) and it says this

"An error has occured while trying to begin activation.
Please make sure you have adminitrator privileges and try again. If you continue to experience this problem, try reinstalling the application."

Ive got admin privileges and its not working, is there anything else i can do without reinstalling it (i cba lol)? Im using Vista, but that shouldnt make a difference it worked fine before.

CS4 is buggy :rolleyes:

CS3 is faster and more reliable.

Wait, has it already been used on another computer?

I downloaded it a few months ago, used a working keygen then yesterday my mum accidently uninstalled it so i had to do it again.
