Ok, as a follow up to my comment above, I think I cracked it, with some help from the other half!
I found the instructions to resolve this problem posted by JordzzB further up the page, but it would not let me overwrite the do **** ent, saying I didn't have rights to do so. I thought that since my profile is set up as an administrator, I would have full rights, but apparently not (I'm working with Vista and I'm really new to it, so this may have made all the difference).
So anyway, if you're having the same problem as me, this is how we found a way round it: you need to find the actual executable file for notepad, not just the shortcut, and ask to open it "as an administrator". I guess this is what JordzzB meant, obviouly I misunderstood the instruction (thinking I'm already logged in as an administrator, so I don't need to do anything special)
I then followed his/her instructions and used a keygen to get a new code. Seems to be working now, have closed down and re-opened the programme a few times and no hiccups so far.
Fingers crossed!!! Hopes this is not too confusing and it helps someone :)
I downloaded the trial version from the adobe website, then used a keygen thingy to give me a code, used that and it seemed to work but next time I opened the programme I got a message "Excuse the interruption but... our records indicate the serial number used to set up this software is invalid".
I've tried using the numbers posted by JordzzB, to no avail, same thing happens again, they get accepted, I can use the application, but I'll get the message above next time I open it....
