Jeff – I hope this email method of getting a forum message up does work, as currently it’s impossible to sign in to the forums (just get an endless loop of flashing screens about signing in to the forums – great)
Anyway, I’m still trying to get CS2 up and running, and all I’m seeing is silly attempts by support and no progress since July.
My original case on this (#211070010) had the following action: 6th Aug I was sent a copy of CS4, which is useless as it can’t open my CS2 projects, which I reported. Then about 15th August I was asked if the CS2 fix I’d been sent had worked. Since I hadn’t been sent anything I said ‘no’ and the case was then closed!
Then a new case (#184634426) was opened, and Support contacted me to ask what the problem was(!). They then took over my PC one night and proved to themselves that CS4 didn’t work. They then downloaded Creative Suite CS3 to try Encore CS3 – the theory being that if CS3 could open CS2 projects, it could maybe save them in a format CS4 could open. Great idea, but what they installed was useless as Encore CS3 is in Production Suite, not Creative Suite. When they found that out, they gave up and disappeared and I’ve never seen them since, despite telling them they were looking in the wrong install package.
Anyway, I downloaded the right package, thinking I could try Encore CS3 on a 30-day trial, and if their theory worked, then good. If not I’m back to square 1 again. BUT, even though I’ve said I want a 30-day trial, the stupid CS3 installer still wants a serial number, which I obviously don’t have.
So here we are again – 3 months down the track, a case open for over a month, nothing happening, and no end in sight.
