How can I install Adobe Illustrator 8, on my Windows XP 64bit?

Yes I know that this version of Illustrator is very old, but it is still more useful than the newer version for my job, so I really need to find a way for installing this software in a XP 64bit. In additions, I also use some more softwares like after effects, so I cannot change my windows to 32bit, because of the performance and better memory usage of 64bit.
For more details, the windows that I'm using is service pack 2, with Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM.
Thank you for helping me.

Hmmm...
It sounds like there is some code (possibly 16-bit) in the AI 8 installer that won't run on XP 64. If so, I'm not sure there is a whole lot you can do.
You could invest in software that will let you run a virtual 32-bit machine, but if you don't already have a 32-bit OS license, costs will be prohibitive. (Win 98 will do for AI 8.)
I'm also curious as to exactly how AI 8 is "more useful" than newer versions for your job. I would never advocate upgrading just for the sake of it, but, sometimes, the practicalities associated with new hardware and operating systems simply dictate it. I can understand preferring the simplicity and efficiency of an earlier version (AI 8 runs so fast on my current system, I'm afraid I'll get whiplash), but I have to admit newer versions are more "useful."

  • How can I install Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows 8.1?

    I originally installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on Windows XP. I've upgraded the OS to Windows 8.1 and have a compatibility error message when trying to re-install Adobe Acrobat 6.0. Any suggestions? Thank you. Roman.

    Confirming the response you received. For the record, any version of Acrobat earlier than the 8.1 update of 8.0 simply won't properly install and/or run of versions of Windows beyond Windows XP and certainly not on any 64-bit versions of Windows.

  • How can I install Adobe Acrobat without installing the browser extensions?

    Hello All,
    I am a computer Technician at a high school and we have very strict browser requirements for different services. We need to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDF's, and other tasks, and we need to use Chrome to open Adobe Reader files. The issue is that I want my 3 browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) to open PDF files using Adobe Reader XI. All my plugin settings are correct to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's, but it either downloads a PDF to the computer, or opens up in the browsers default reader (Chrome does this), or opens up to a blank page with a blank error message. I went into the programs Internet settings for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and it's telling me the browser opens them up using Adobe Acrobat (With no option to change the setting). The problem is only solved when I uninstall Adobe Acrobat.Then I am able to open PDF's in Adobe Reader just like I want (but this gets rids of Acrobat). This leads me to believe that when I install Adobe Acrobat, there is a registry key or something that is telling the computer to open PDF's in browsers using Acrobat. My initial question is this: How can I install adobe Acrobat without linking it to the browser. I JUST want Adobe Acrobat as a program installed on the computer.
    Additional Info:
    - I build a computer image and use that image on several computers. This issue persists with all of the computers I installed the image on.
    - I am using Adobe Reader 11 (Now DC, but I am willing to use either) and Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 (I think it's version 9?)
    Thanks for the help.
    - Charlie

    How can I install Adobe Flash Media live encoder on a G5 power pc?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  When FMLE was initially released in 2007, Apple had already transitioned to using Intel processors in their computers.  Your PowerPC processor isn't compatible with software written for an Intel processor.  From Adobe's website, the (5 year-old) FMLE v. 3.2 has these system hardware requirements for the Apple platform:
    • 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
    • Mac OS X v10.5.6
    • 1GB of RAM
    • 50MB of available hard-disk space (excludes archived FLV and F4V files)
    • 1024x768 screen resolution
    • QuickTime compatible audio/video capture devices
    • QuickTime 7 software or later

  • How can i install Adobe Acrobat 11 in german language

    Hello,
    a simple question.
    how can i install Adobe Acrobat XI Prof. in german language?
    I have the donwload option for german and this will download the AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe.
      --> Acrobat Professional
    11.0
    German
    Windows
    Acrobat Professional 11.0 WIN ESD D
    When i start the installation with this donwloaded file i have only Enlgish as an language option.

    Hi Sukrit,
    thanks, but that doesn't fixed my problem.
    Now i have a language selection in the setup process. i select German, the setup/installation windows are in German.
    after installation the application is in English.
    i can't change the language in the preferences. there is only English. the option "Choose at application startup" will be ignored. also when i start the application as administrator
    It is possible that our company license key is language specific?
    i try a normal installation with key and one as trail version. the trial version is in German.
    i see this language setup option only if i select trial version during the installation.
    As information, the OS is Windows 7 Ent x64 English and the regional / location settings is Germany.
    regards

    how can i install itunes 11.0.1 on windows xp professional x64 edition

    I have eventually managed to resolve my issue by:
    1) Installing "Segoe UI" fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.
    2) Changing my default colour profile to "sRGB Color Space Profile".
    Navigate to My Computer > Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Color Management.
    Click Add button and select sRGB Color Space Profile.icm from the Add Profile Association pop-up window.
    Select sRGB Color Space Profile.
    Click on the Set as Default button.
    Click on Apply, OK, OK.
