Installation and
Troubleshooting
Elements is quite easy to install and is pretty trouble free once you’re up and run-
ning. This appendix explains a couple of things you can do to ensure that your
installation goes smoothly, and also provides cures for most of the little glitches
that can crop up once you’re using the program.
Installing Elements
Before you install Elements, it helps to make sure your PC is ready to receive its
newest arrival.
First of all, if your computer’s on a network, then take it off the network tempo-
rarily. (You can go back on as soon as you’ve installed Elements.) Also, it’s impor-
tant to disable any anti-virus software as well as any products from Symantec,
including Norton Anti-Virus (which tends to quarrel with Adobe software during
installation). You can turn any of these programs back on as soon as you’ve fin-
ished the installation.
Also, you need to install Elements when logged into an administrative account on
your computer. (If you’ve never done anything to change your account and you
have only one account on your machine, it’s almost certainly an administrative
account.)
