Here's the situation:

I built a new computer, with a new hard drive(with new photoshop program), but I also kept my old hard drive (with old photoshop program on it)

My problem is:

I had a bunch of actions on that old photoshop, but I never exported them.

How do I load it into my new photoshop on the new hard drive?

I can't open the old photoshop anymore, it says "not enough memory allocated for activation". The old photoshop was installed onto an XP system, and it must have registry settings or something, because now I'm using Windows 7 and it won't open the old photoshop program at all.

I looked for the .ATN files, but there were only the preset ones.

Where can I find all my OWN actions from the old hard drive?

Sorry if this is confusing, I just have a bunch of useful actions I need to retrieve.

Look for the file "Actions Palette.psp".

On my vista machine it was stored in: "C:\Users\<my_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings"

On an XP or 2000 machine it will probably be in the "C:\Documents and Settings" folder.

If it is a Mac, I have no clue where it will be

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

I could not find that file, but I just called the XP support number and they activate the old windows again using some key. I just saved them as ATNs.
