Question
Hi, I already have CS2 PhotoShop loaded on my PC (at work), but I am wondering can I add InDesign or Illustrator without removing PhotoShop? I tried loading InDesign, but before I got  into the installation part, it asked me to remove PhotoShop, and I was not sure I should do that (I will need to use all three programs). Thanks!

Answer
Hi Sue,

Did your install get to the point of asking for your registration number? Perhaps the numbers are conflicting with PS for some reason. Ive never had a PC ask to uninstall a program, only turn it off before installing.

Try this, start up your computer hit "esc" to start up in Safe Mode and do not turn anything on. Then try installing off your CD.

Thanks
