uninstalled cs3 beta...problems with elements and cs2

[mimi23]

Just a heads up...I uninstalled cs3 beta with the help from the NAPP forum..it was a scary thing to do!!! I have windows xp so I used the add and remove option. A box starts up and there is about 14 components you can check to uninstall and I was told to check each box...I think this was a mistake.
Now in elements 4 and cs2 my adjustment layer don't come up right....I get a new layer dialog box with the name of the adjustment layer that I have to click ok. Next all the adobe icons on my brushes and actions are gone and my bridge is a total goner. So I guess cs3 beta shared files and the uninstall wiped them out. Anyway there might be some hidden files from the beta that still needs to be cleaned out then I have to uninstall cs2 and reinstall cs2 again

Thanks for the warning Patty- How did you like cs3 aside from your troubles uninstalling?

Hi Patty ...

From the Adobe forum...deactivate the beta before you uninstall, plus there is a list of shared components between cs2 and cs3.

Manually remove the left over files that the uninstall didn't remove and ran a repair on cs2. I still have the problem with the adjustment layer if I use them from the menu bar...but they work right from the layers palette.
