I had a similar problem about half year ago with win xp, ie and ps cs2... this solution worked for me so maybe you can try it to
1. if i WASNT connected to internet i got that msg so i tried again after connecting and it worked
2. sometimes if i clicked on some other program to run and then imediatly click on ps it wouldnt start and gave me that msg, so i simply started it again when the hard drive stoped working...

who knows... maybe it will work for you too good luck

Yeah, maybe IE7 is an evil conspiracy to stop photoshop from being downloaded (Delete by the PSC MODS) off somewhere

I didn't said anything

I apologize

IE dont work as good as firefox ~ for me anyway"

I rolled back to IE6 and it all works fine know... even firefox is up to speed again

I can confirm that iE7 is a Bone Vacuumer... in a BAD way.

If you use Dreamweaver in XP and you had iE7 installed, it would tend to delete ALL your site FTP passwords and info. Which meant you had to enter in your FTP info for every client/site every time you opened Dreamweaver. Even using the Import function didn't make this a very fun situation.

Got rid of iE7, uploaded FireFox and happy was I again!

(now that I'm running iMac this is not an issue - there are NEW issues with Dreamweaver instead! Ah - no rest for the wicked!)
