Hardy has some issues.  One random Hardy-specific thing is
http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem
Does the workaround there help?

Yep, that workaround solved my problem.

I was having the same issues as described in that bug:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12516

Namely, wine was giving me this error:
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000

I had to install photoshop again though, this time with serial. My last install was a tryout and though I was able to insert the serial/activate it afterwards, I got another error. I've attached the error dialog. I'm not sure whether I got this before or after installing updates.

Anyway, reinstalling the application with serial worked.

Thanks alot

Error I got after trying the workaround

Marking as depending on bug 12592...

This bug is 12592, it seems you marked this bug as depending on bug 12516, right ?

Yes.  My brain obviously has an overly active random number generator
and an underactive self-check...

Let's make this about the error message
"Adobe Activation
You are not allowed to continue because your accountdoes not have the proper privileges.
Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again."
Michael, is that what you're running into?

Aha, no, Michael ran into bug 12516.  Michael, please switch your vote.

Sorry about that I have switched my vote.

Same error, but solution is listed on http://wiki.winehq.org/AdobePhotoshop
# wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks; sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6
After this, I've not get this error when starting Photoshop.

Kubuntu 8.04, wine 0.9.59

I have tried both workarounds mentioned in this bug report. winetricks and the PreLoaderPageZero fix and continue to receive the error about privileges.

Seemed to work after a reboot.

I too got this error and it was fixed after a simple reboot; easy enough fix if you ask me!

Here's hoping a fix is in order that does not require reboooting, as that's is all that works for me as well. :)

I have found that clearing Adobe's temp files in "C:\windows\temp", then restarting the wine service, allows me to resume using Photoshop after this dialog appears.

I experience this problem when I tunnel PhotoshopCS2 using X11 over ssh while being logged in via GDM as well.

E.G. Physical GDM login and SSH network login with the same user at the same time. Only 1 user running Photoshop but both running other Wine apps.

A system reboot or "wineboot -r" seems to fix it temporarily until I do a multi user login again.

I now make sure I log out when performing an application tunnel.

Still present in git.

It seems only 'winetricks corefonts' is needed to prevent the bug (before installing of course).

Then this is a duplicate of the bug 9623.

It may take a bit more investigation. Just tried:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ regedit #added Times/Tahoma substitution
$ wine setup.exe #installed photoshop
$ wine Photoshop.exe

First time works fine. Dismissed updates, etc.
$ wine Photoshop.exe # Prompts for trial/serial again.

Second time works fine, aside from prompting again.
$ winetricks vcrun6
$ wine Photoshop.exe
This got rid of the trial/serial stuff.

$ rm -rf ~/.wine ; wineboot ; cp Time.TTF ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts
$ wine setup.exe

$ wine Photoshop.exe #no error, but trial prompt
$ winetricks vcrun6
$ wine Photoshop.exe # still get trial prompt on every run

My issue occured due to adobe downloading updates.  I didn't noticed this at the time of my encounter of the issue.  Later on, I saw a strange icon on top bar (ubuntu 9.04) that I never saw before.  When I clicked on it, it was downloading adobe bridge updates.  I stopped the process and I was able to open adobe photoshop without an issue.

это проблема решается следующим бубном в Ubuntu 9.10:

В ярлыке запуска прописываем:
gksudo wine "/home/<user_name>/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Photoshop.exe"

И будет Вам счастье))) !!!

Never use sudo or gksudo to run Wine apps.  See

Installing dcom98 through winetricks solved the problem for me and a friend.
Thought the installation failed and I had to set the winever through winecfg to win xp by hand again.

I recently installed photoshop cs2 using wine and I got an error the 2nd time opening it saying 

"Adobe Activation- You are not allowed to continue because your accountdoes not have the proper privileges. Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again." 

So I tried to go and uninstall it using the software for wine, and while it's uninstalling it keeps spamming that error message and won't fully uninstall photoshop. Is there a way I can go in and manually delete the files? 

Thanks everyone!

CS2 & wine 1.3.28 the problem: 

Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again 

is still there. 

It usually triggers when Photoshop is started then closed and re-started again. The fix with 

#winserver -k 

works but it kills all the started wine applications and to use photoshop you got to restart them all over again. 

I found that 

#wineboot -i 

would fix this problem without any need to restart all the windows applications that are are running. 

If photoshop is showing you Please log in using an account with administrator privileges and try again - close it then run 

#wineboot -i

and start Photoshop again. This fixed the problem of rebooting all the wine application when photoshop cannot start.

Workaround reported two years ago. Shouldnt this be closed ?

> Workaround reported two years ago. Shouldnt this be closed ?

Workarounds are not fixes.

I cannot recreate this with wine-1.6-rc5-3-gae1709c, can someone else please try?

Fixed.

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.12.
