ARGH!

I've had issues with my school laptop for the better part of the year, so I finally got an updated one..... but I just realized that this one won't read any CD's..... so I can't load my copy of PSE10. OMG. Of course my free trial of PSE11 just ran out.... so now I'm screwed.

Any brilliant suggestions out there?? This is really the LAST thing I needed today.

Oh no, Lori! I don't have a suggestion. I just wanted to give you virtual hugs.

Do you have access to an external optical drive that can connect via USB? See if you can find one of those . . . even if you just borrow it long enough to get your software loaded.

HUGS!! That IS a pain!

Or! Can you download it from Adobe and then just enter your serial number or whatever? I bet if you talked to Adobe Customer Service, they could help you out . . . they are usually pretty good.

Yeah, I was going to say if there's a serial number on your CD, you might be able to download a trial version online and then just input it in.

[lorigaud]

Worth a shot.... I will call them. The only problem is that my version is PSE10, and the download online is for PSE11.

So, I decided that I would try to install my PSE10 with the disk I have before I called Adobe... AND IT WORKED! I have no idea why it wouldn't read a music CD, but this one worked..... so I'm a happy woman tonight!
