Photoshop Elements 5.0 doesn't work anymore

[dennisgoehmann]

Hi,
my version of Photoshop Elements 5.0 which came with my Vaio VGN FE41M doesn't work anymore. I deinstalled and re-installed without any visible effect. It always ends up in one of two possible error messages when double clicking on photoshop.exe:

"Navigation Error 5" or "Your key isn't valid anymore"

Now what's this and how can I resolve this?

THX for your help in advance

So I presume there is noone around that had the same problem? Too bad...

This normally only happens with pirated software downloaded illegally.

Are you running the original OEM version of Vista Home Premium supplied with your Vaio?

If it is the original copy of the software you received when you bought your Vaio then you need to speak to Vaio-Link Support as this version of the software doesn't usually have a product key.

Well, yeah, I'm just using Photoshop Elements 5.0 that has been delivered with my notebook. The same with Vista of course. Well, very suspicious....
