I have Photoshop CS4 and I need to reinstall it from CD after a computer crash and reinstalling Windows 7 but it won't reinstall.

This might be because it wont fully uninstall from the  Windows 7 Control panel.  Can anyone help?

    Uninstall what you can the normal way thru the control panel then use the CS Cleaner Tool.  Then try reinstalling. You might want to try a download installation rather than the disc if it continues to fail.
