Computer help again

[modey]

so i finally built my pc, but trying to install a "copy" of cs4 i keep getting the following error:

I did have all sorts of crashes when i first booted but that seems to be sorted

anyone know what's causing this appcrash?

[dakyras]

What do you mean by 'copy'? If it was a torrent, the file's probably corrupted.

[modey]

It's not a torrent, it's a dodgy version that i've used fine on a couple of laptops running windows 7 so i'm pretty sure it's not that

I've just noticed it's an ntll.dll error, which unfortunately means it could be anything of 100 things wrong with your computer. Could be the drivers aren't up to date, or the software is incompatible with the drivers you have if it's a brand new PC, or it could be your installation of Windows is corrupt. Cleaning the registry might help, but you'll probably have to pay for some software to do that.

i've tried various registry cleaners but it hasn't helped

will a complete fresh install of windows help?

[modey]

almost certainly

why dont you try a portable version modey? much smaller, and you dont even have to install it, you can run it from a usb stick. or you could use GIMP, which does pretty much everything photoshop does, and is free.

not legit, just from the usual sources. its much smaller, and doesnt hog resources as much. it just runs using your ram afaik.

but gimp is good, just takes a little getting accustomed to. it even does some stuff PS cant do from stuff I have read.

[modey]

how exactly do you run it from the mmeory stick as i have already downloaded a portable version

Just downloading gimp now to have a look at that

If you dont need to do anything too fancy, then IrfanView is pretty good too. Don't think it does layers, but is OK for touching up photos.

I'm thinking about getting a blu ray drive for my computer and installing it myself, so what are the things I need to look at and check before I buy and install one?
