Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Errors

When I run Elements on my G4 PowerBook, formerly with 10.2.8 and now
with 10.3.2, I get the following error messages and I cannot figure out
what to do about them.

The first error occurs at random times and is not related to trying to
open or save a file. In fact, I have no problem opening or saving files
and Elements seems to work fine in spite of the error. Furthermore, if
I just open the program and let it sit there this error eventually will
occur, leading me to believe it is something internal. I would like to
make it go away.

Adobe Photoshop Elements
Could not complete your request because the file
is locked. Use the 'Get Info' command in the
Finder to unlock the file.


The second error occurs when firing up Elements. The program seems to
want to go out to the Adobe site to find updates. What I get is the
following:

An error occurred while attempting to
download a file from the Adobe Online
web server.

The request was not understood by the
server. HTTP #400-Bad Request

I am at a loss as to why the Adobe server would not recognize a request
from an Adobe program!

One or more of the files within the Elements package probably has the
wrong permissions. Since Elements is not installed with the Apple
Installer, Disk Utilities "Repair Privileges" won't fix it. You might
try making a drag copy of the application and see it that clears the
problem; otherwise, reinstall from the original CD.
