| Hey Benny, I went from C3 to CS6 on this machine, with iterations of all builds. I had those same remnants that the adobe cleaner didn't get, too. I gathered them up manually and burned them to a disc and then deleted all of them. Never gave me trouble and I've never needed that disc.... For what its worth.

Some of these errors go back to CS5 updates. None of them have provided a cure beyond erasing everything and starting over, which still doesn't work. That just results in a different error code. Plus, it takes forever to download and install all this stuff, and I have a dual T1 connection. FOREVER. > > I have tried this on a fairly new Macbook Pro and my main MacPro computer.
