Adobe CS 5 Is not compatible with Win 7

I just had an unbelievable 45 min discussion with the 'Expert' support of Adobe. I am trying to install CS 5 on a new computer after receiving the download link.
I encountered an error while trying to install and asked the 24 hour support to help. You wont believe the enaswer I got.
He told me that CS5 cannot run on Win 7 and sent me a link that I had to read.
I told him that its working Ok on my other Win 7 computer, and that the instructions he sent me says that IT DOES work on Win 7
UNBELIEVABLE SUPPORT...!
In the end I insisted that he pass me a supervisor who was no real help at all
He told me I cannot use the CS5 on another computer.
I then showed him the transcript from a previous support session where the person told me I could
He then said it was possible but that they dont support the CS5 anymore
This chat session was going from bad to crazy
Do these guys know the basics of Adobe? (Rhetorical question!)

Hi Magila,
I apologise for the inconvenience.
CS5 has not been tested on Windows 7 and you might face compatibility issues with it. What the chat agent meant was you can go ahead and install CS5 on the OS but Adobe will not be responsible nor support issues arising due to unsupported and untested platforms.
BTW what error do you get while trying to install CS5?
Please try installing the software in compatibility mode and check ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/cdd894f8-1ee2-43e5-952b-d04c25779 a7f/how-to-install-a-software-application-using-compatibility-mode?forum=w7itproappcompat )
You might also want to follow the below mentioned basic steps :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.
Regards,
Rave.

Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7. Need replacement that will work.

adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7. need a replacement that will work. any suggestions.

I would recommend Acrobat 10. You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR. It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

Sound Card not compatible with WIN 7

I have a Dell 8200 Dimension Desktop (vintage 2002)?that I?ve just upgraded from XP Pro to Win 7. My Turtle Beach sound card no longer works since it is not compatible with Win 7. When I tried to install a non-Dell sound card, I found that the two sockets were not compatible with the Dell cables. I was told that I must have a Dell card since the plugs were proprietory Dell. I was given a Dell part number (38FRH) which supposedly was the card that would work as a replacement, i.e., be compatible with Windows 7. Dell no longer stocks this card since they stop supporting their computers after they are 5 years old.
Can?anyone help me solve my problem?

Which Dell cables? To the speakers? If so, time to change the speakers then.
Also try online such as eBay. Google for "Dell 38FRH". Ignore the Windows 7 drivers links. First few I found were fakes/scams. Scroll down. On the first page there were a couple of sites that carried it.
I would rather change the sound card [get something "modern"] and speakers than continue to use proprietary stuff.
Using Win 7 on an 8 year old system? Yeeesh.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 not compatible with windows 7

Hello,
Some years ago I bought Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which I placed on my old computer. Now I have a new computer with windows 7 and the acrobat 6.0 version apears not compatible with this windows version. Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Arjen

If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can download Windows XP Mode and attempt to install Adobe Acrobat 6 in the virtual environment. Windows XP Mode uses Windows Virtual PC to run a full Windows XP Professional 32 bit environment virtually, and it is a free download. A limitation you may encounter is that the PDF printer will not be accessible from your Windows 7 programs, only from programs which are installed in the Windows XP Mode environment.
This subject has been discussed on several forums, and while Acrobat version 6 does install and work for some users, the PDF printer does not install on Windows 7. Version 9 was the first version which was compatible with Windows 7, so if this is critical to you, you should consider upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat.

Adobe flash player 11 not compatible with Dragon NaturallySpeaking "help"

Adobe flash player 11 is not compatible with my Dragon Naturally Speaking software. How can I or where can I download flash player 10?

Try here for a list of the various Adobe flash player versions:

MS 6163 bx master not compatible with Win XP

Hi !
Yesterday i changed the HDD, installed the windows xp sp2... and here we go again with the old problems since the windows xp come out.
My pc often greeze, lock Up and i have to reset it. In the event viewer there is an error under the system that said:
AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address (0xnnnn), which lies in the 0xXXXX - 0xYYYY protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.
The motherboard is acpi complaint, but the problem is that the Bios is not compatible with windows xp. It is very sad thet the manufacturer did not make changes to the biso so the people with retired motherboards can still use it without problems.
There is a way to fix this, but it will still freeze in time to time, but not so often. The problem about acpi will be corrected, if you change to non - acpi complaint system and then install NT/APM legacy support to shut down windows properly.
I noticed that doing that, the system is not working so fast then when was acpi complaint. also some strange little noises come out from the motherboard expecialy when i move the usb mouse. I dont know what to say, but its sad. I still have this pc althought its so old. If only the bios can be comaptible....
If you computer's BIOS tries to write to a port in ACPI Machine Language (AML), you will receive similar errors. Windows NT-based computers, including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, do NOT allow these operations as they can cause instability.
To resolve this problem, contact your manufacturer about a BIOS upgrade.
I so on the internet on a photo of the motherboard that there is a jumper J1 that can lock write to bios ? anyone know what is it ?
In the manual there is no explanation or mentioned J1 jumper....
Please make the bios stable for me

Hi !
Without overclock ? yes I also tryed this. It is the same problem. When windows xp come out it brings with it this problem of Bios.
For now I am running windows without acpi support as I said. This will correct the error... but I will se in next weeks how it will work. I have the new HDD now. On the old one i got some bad clusters and mybe this caused freezing althought i disabled acpi. With acpi enabled my pc would freeze every 10 minutes... To eliminate the freeze related to acpi error, the only solution is to disable acpi support, since there is no BIOS available ti fix this problem.
Sure.. it is possible that also my ram will cause pc to freeze in time to time. I noticed that where there is 4 slots for sdram, there is also a RED lightning led. I check the manual , but there is no explanation of this led. I dont know why it is red and not green. I dont even know what colour should be. This led is located next to the ram slot.
The noises that i mentioned...are comming from the PSU.... It is a new one. The precedent one was the same one and also new and i return it to change it for another of the same manufacturer (same model also). heh also this one turn out that it cause strange noises. mybe is not so silent as they said.

Adobe Photoshop Express is not compatible with Note 4

Hi,
I am unable to install Adobe Photoshop Express on Note 4. I am unable to install the app from play store onto my Note 4. I get a message saying the device isn't compatible with this version. Its an issue that's persisting since October and has not been fixed yet. Could someone please work on the fix for Note 4 and kindly release an updated version. I had been using the app frequently and had bought the noise reduction and premium look filters as well. Please fix this issue ASAP.

This has been fixed in latest release of PS Express.
Thanks

Acrobat 8 Pro not compatible with Win 7 Pro 64

When I changed from Win XP Pro to Win 7 Pro I could not transfer Acrobat 8 Pro. Adobe Support just informed me that Acrobat 8 Pro was not designed for Win 7 and that's it. This was pretty frustrating and gave me the opportunity to search the market. I am going to switch to PDF Suite that is coequal to Acrobat but hundreds of times favorable in price!

Support gave you the correct answer. The new underpinnings of Windows 7 makes it impossible for Acrobat 8 to function properly. It should not surprise you that new OSs require new software. Acrobat 9 is very nice software, you can get an special upgrade price from 8 to 9. Acrobat 10 is likely to be available real soon now. There are many programs available to create pdfs. Office can do so natively. If that is all you need then Acrobat may not be for you. However, for some there is nothing quite like Acrobat.

Satellite L505-10z - Win 7 tools are not compatible with Win 8

My laptop is Satellite L505-10z. I installed Windows 8 Pro and I notice that lots of drivers (especially TVAP) I downloaded from Toshiba support website (which are originally for Windows 7) not working! When will Toshiba release Windows 8 drivers? Will my model be included in the driver updates?
Thanks

> downloaded from Toshiba support website (which are originally for Windows 7) not working!
Win 7 tools and utilities are made for Win 7 and not Win 8
> When will Toshiba release Windows 8 drivers? Will my model be included in the driver updates?
I think you should ask Toshiba. This is user to user community.
But I think Toshiba would start with driver support if Win 8 would be available OFFICIALLY on the market.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 not compatible with Windows Vista

On installing this software on my new Windows Vista, incompatibility message says I need to install kernel-mode print driver. Where can I get this from. No luck with the Adobe website technical support!

Then you will need to purchase an upgrade to the current version 8.1.
Note that Acrobat Standard would be a downgrade; to retain all your
current features you'd need Acrobat Professional.
Note that there was no product called Acrobat Writer, if you want to
be exact. And you would normally have only one of "Acrobat" and
"Acrobat Reader". To make it even more confusing, "Acrobat Reader" was
renamed "Adobe Reader".

ITunes 10 not compatible with Win XP SP3?

My wife's Dell is running Win XP (32 bit) with SP3, has most of the recent Microsoft security updates, MS Office 2007, and the 2011 version of McAfee. It is rather "plain vanilla" in its configuration, so I don't expect any conflicts with the Win version of iTunes.
With iTunes 9.2.1.5, her computer & iTunes work fine. I thought I'd try the suggested upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1. It downloaded and installed OK. However, upon the next reboot of the computer, ended up at the black screen and could only restart in safe mode. Repeated restarts, only could get to safe mode though.
I restored her computer from a disk image, and it ran fine until I tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.4.1 again ... same thing, can only boot to safe mode. I repeated this process a couple more times with different versions of her system's disk images, all run iTunes 9.2.1.5 OK, but crash with an iTunes 10.4.1 install. I also tried this with and without running Norton Win Dr. & Disk Dr. (not running Norton antivirus, rather McAfee) to clean up the registry and system files, but same results.
Is iTunes 10.x.x only for Vista or Win OS 7? Is there some known Microsoft update or setting that conflicts with iTunes 10.x.x? Does iTunes 10.x.x not play nice with McAfee or any of its security features? Is there some level of Windows security settings that could cause this?
I'm OK with iTunes 9.2.1.5 for now, but don't want the next Apple device that requires a newer iTunes version to break her computer. We wish to stay at Win XP SP3 as both our work computers use XP and our same current level of program revisions, so we don't want new issues (plus time & cost) going to Win 7 just for the sake of iTunes 10.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
PS: I personally use a MacPro at home, but that is not a current option for my wife (just saying this in advance for those who's fix will be to "get a Mac" :-)

Why not update your OS to 10.6?

4. Have you tried downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor yet? If not, please try that and let me know what it has to say! If it fails anywhere, just let me know where it fails.
5. Did you install the printer using a download?
Once I have this information I will certainly do my best to have a deeper look into things!

JSP Server is not compatible with Win XP Service Pack 2

i've install java serve into my comp system with the following specification:
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 2
Processor: Pentium 4,1.60 Ghz
RAM:256
Database: Microsoft Access 2003
The PROBLEM are:
Page with .jsp extension cannot be diaplay, when it's come to .html/.htm there is no problems at all.
Why this kind of problems occur is it because of the my comp. spec or because of Jave server didn't suite with XP Service Pack II...
I TRIED SO MANY TIME BUT THE OUTPUT IS STILL THE SAME!!!

I TRIED SO MANY TIME BUT THE OUTPUT IS STILL THE SAME!!!You think you should be able to double click a .jsp file and display it?
Tell me, what should be launched when you do this?
This is not the way to run .jsp files. You need to deploy them in a web app on a servlet/JSP engine and submit HTTP requests to that app server from a browser. You cannot double click on a JSP and display it.
Repeat: It can't be done.

I accidentally deleted PDF View; how / where do I download? The Adobe website version is not compatible with Web OS.

Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

I don't believe that you can actually "delete" a built in app. You most likely just "hid" it. Look in "device information" then scroll down to "more information" tap "software" and see if it's listed there. If so, it's probably greyed out. Tap it and you should have a choice to unhide it.
