A short while after installing Vista I discovered the operating system help section was broken. I was getting the following message:

Internet Explorer cannot download / from windows.

I assumed this was due to me being an early adopter and a Microsoft would release a fix through Windows Update.

It turns out I was wrong and in fact it was Dreamweaver 8 that I installed and this caused the problem. By default Dreamweaver 8 associates itself as the default editor of xml files and this in turn causes some sort of conflict with the help system. Dreamweaver 8 was release some time before Vista though so I don’t expect this problem with the latest release, Dreamweaver CS3.
To fix this issue, Adobe have released a registry fix which is incredibly easy to use. Download the file from here and extract the files, then run the enclosed file (DW8_Fix_Help_and Support.reg) to fix. You will need administrator rights to perform this action.

This isn’t the most straightforward process but is relatively painless if you know where to look. This process can be followed for most of Adobe’s apps but in this example we will backup and restore Photoshop CS2.

This ‘how to’ applies to Vista/XP.

Backup

  1. Exit Photoshop CS2.
  2. Ensure that you can see hidden files and folders.
    • XP/Vista: From ‘folder options’ and the ‘View’ tab, select the radio button ‘Show hidden files and folders’.
  3. Locate your settings folder.
    • Vista: Users\user name\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings
    • XP: Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2
  4. Copy this folder and archive securely.

Restore

  1. Exit Photoshop CS2.
  2. Locate the Photoshop CS2 settings folder in the same way as instructed above.
  3. Rename the folder to ‘Settings Old’.
  4. Copy the archived folder back to ’9.0′ folder.
  5. Restart Photoshop CS2.
  6. When you are satisfied that you have all your settings and Photoshop is working correctly then delete the ‘Settings Old’ folder.

Always backup before making changes to files and folders on your system.
