Adobe Photoshop Incompatible with Windows 7 ?

I typically do not have problems installing Microsoft products, Corel products, HP products, AV software, dozens of other companies products on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have never had problems installing Adobe products on ME, XP, Vista. However, every recent Adobe product I have purchased have failed to install on Windows 7 Home Premium and it typically takes support several hours to fix, if it can be fixed at all. It involves creating new accounts, disabling services, disabling the UAC, doing partial restarts (I did not even know those existed) and normal restarts, etc (I do have administrative rights on my account(s)).
Today I was working with customer support (taking control of my desktop). We did not succeed to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
During the installation a windows dialog box was displayed which stated that the Adobe installation .exe file was incompatible with Windows UAC.
There is clearly something wrong with the Adobe installer because Adobe products are the only products that cannot be installed.
Why is it so difficult tp install Adobe products on a Windows 7 system?
Does anyone know what is going on?
Is the Adobe installer really incompatible with Windows 7 as the Windows dialog box stated?
Thomas

Thank you for your help all three of you,
I finally succeeded to install.
I was using the downloaded version (not the DVD), I should have mentioned that. I did two things. I turned off the UAC (as suggested) and I moved the installation files from my user account folder where they were placed by default (I initially just accepted the default). The user account was protected despite my administrative rights, which is why install using setup.exe in the user account location failed. I have a feeling that I would not have had to turn off the UAC or move the files out of the user account folder if I had run as administrator. I'll remember that next time. It is funny customer support did not see this.
Anyway, now it is installed

  • Adobe Reader incompatible with Windows Internet Explorer 9

    I recently installed the update for Windows Internet Eexplorer 9 on my laptop (Vista Home Premium) and have installed the latest Adobe Reader as well.
    After installing Windows IE 9 I found that I was not able to view any letters etc online where Adobe Reader was required.
    I tried all the suggestions in the associated help screen to no avail, so I finally 'uninstalled'  the Windows I E 9 update and magically I was once again able to view online letters etc.
    I am wondering why the latest Adobe Reader is incompatible with Windows I E 9?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe IE9 is not supported with Reader9, but everything should work as usual. I have both on my machine and am able to use them without any problem.
    Try repairing Reader from Programs in Control Panel.
    Kindly refer to System Requirement section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_9.5.pdf

  • PPro 1.5 incompatible with Windows 7

    I just upgraded laptops and have been eager to continue editing with Premiere Pro 1.5.  However, the program will not upload and gets stuck during the initialization process at GPUPagecurl.aex.  Is version 1.5 incompatible with Windows 7 and if so, is there a fix/patch?
    Laptop specs:  i7 chip  8G Ram  dual quad processor @1.6 Ghz  1.6 Ghz and 64bit OS

    Personal aside - I feel that the min. requirements are awfully low. They are basically enough to install the program, and launch it. Trying to edit anything with a min. system will be horribly painful, if even possible.
    It is good that you read of the min. system requirements. I would not attempt to go with something below those.
    Now, with about Photoshop CS, Adobe finally issued a min. video card statement for PS. It was 128MB VRAM min. I still ran PS CS for a few years on a Matrox G-450 64MB video card, without issues. Now, this is VASTLY different than CPU, RAM or HDD setup.
    Good luck, and thanks for reporting, even if it was not good news. That will very likely help others with the same question.

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
    Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
    Thanks

    No issues.
    On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

    Looks like the first two warnings are security level warnings meaning that your silent install will not grant the correct security level for what ever reason. I suspect it needs admin level maybe?
    Here is a link. Read #8 as it has to do with silent installs. The log will give you more hints on what you did wrong.

  • I had an early version of photoshop (2.0 I think) that worked perfect on windows vista. I bought a new laptop with windows 8.1 and the photoshop won't install. Which version of Photoshop compatible with Windows 8.1 is closest to the older photoshop?

    I think you mean Photoshop CS2.  Photoshop 2 is from around 1992.  The old Adobe activation servers were taken down. CS2 is about a decade old Adobe made a new download for old customers that legal customers can download and install. Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products

  • Adobe Photoshop 11 with Premire Elements.

    I purchased this program the first weekend in August and have worked on learning it and creating a slide show of our recent trip to Africa almost every day -- a whole month.  In the preview it is perfect but when it shows on the TV it is blurry. Even when I preview in full screen on my PC it is a tad blurry and the letters are a little choppy.  I have read some other comments and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.  I created the slide show in the Organizer, choose output and the DVD NTSC 720x480 setting, I rendered it, and then burned the DVD.  I have made six DVD trying different setting and nothing is working.  I had an old program that I created slideshows with and had success on all my DVD's but decided to buy Adobe Photoshop 11 with Premire Elements because I wanted to have more options with my photos.  I have spent so much time on this project and I am so disappointed with my final product that I could cry!  The slideshow only runs 45 minutes so it is under the 60 minute maximum. It shouldn't be this hard -- HELP!!

    Thanks for the follow up. Sorry that your news was not better.
    I do not work for Adobe nor am I affiliated with it in anyway. So, what I am about to say is addressed solely in your interests.
    If you have confidence in Pinnacle Studio and you can get the slideshow video you want, then go with that. Some even suggest the use of Windows Live Movie Maker and the Windows DVD Maker for creation of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    But, if you think that you want to give this one more try, I will work with you (step by step, all the steps) through this thread to try to get you a good quality Premiere Elements video representing your slideshow. Just let me know:
    a. number of photos, original pixel dimensions
    b. any videos going into this slideshow, what format
    c. is this going to be DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 on DVD disc or DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc?
    d. are you applying pans and zooms
    e. what transitions are you using
    f. what effects are you using
    As reference point, what is the basic problem...playback quality of the DVD-VIDEO produced? Where are you playing it..on computer of TV DVD-Player or other.
    I will go as basic or technical as you want so that we get the job done. If I write something and you think "What in the world is that person talking about?", do not hesitate to communicate that to me. It will not hurt my feelings. I will rewrite what you do not understand. But in sync follow up on both sides is important.
    Whatever your decision, we wish you success.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe reader 5 with windows 7?

    I'm told AR 5 is incompatible with windows 7 is there any fix?@

    First, you cannot have two Reader versions on the same system.
    If you are happy to have only Reader 5, you can try to run it under Windows 2000 or XP Compatibility Mode.  No guarantee it will work.
    You can download it from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/ - ar500enu.exe and ar505enu.exe being the English versions.
    Another way, if you don't need to use it too often, is to run a copy of XP on Virtual PC.

  • Witch laptops are compatible/incompatible with windows XP/VISTA

    Hi so i am planning on buying Apple MacBook or maybe PRO
    i have a list of laptops that are served in our area:
    Apple MacBook Pro MA895
    Apple MacBook Pro MA610
    Apple MacBook Pro MA611
    Apple MacBook Pro MA897
    Apple MacBook MB062
    Apple MacBook MB063
    and i need to know wich one of those are compatible or incompatible with Windows XP? please make a quick response
    In advance thank you for your time

    All of the "MacBook" laptops are compatible with XP/Vista.
    One thing to note is that BootCamp is currently in the beta version (at least until when OS X Leopard comes out), so you may have some minor problems installing and running windows, but they should be fine.
    Another thing to note is since Vista craves a lot of CPU, RAM, HD and graphics, I would suggest you going to a MacBook Pro. I have heard that Vista does not run smoothly on computers with less than 2 GB RAM, nor does all of its features render well if you don't have a 128 MB graphics card. Increasing the MacBook's RAM to 2 GB may also significantly increase the performance.
    Either way, the option is yours. All of them should work out fine, with perhaps a couple of firmware updates

  • Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognice it when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or itunes?

    Hello. I have an ipod classic generation 4 and I want to add some more music to it however my computer and itunes do not recognise the device when I try to connect it. Is it incompatible with windows 7 or current version of itunes?

    It should still be compatible.  Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port using a different cable to see if that helps?  Perhaps, try it another computer as well to see if it's recognized there.
    Otherwise, start by checking to see if it's even recognized in Device Manager.  See this article for details.

  • Adobe Connect issues with Windows 7

    Has anyone found a solution to the problems Adobe Connect has with Windows 7?

    Sounds like something is blocking network traffic. I'm not aware of any Windows 7 specific issues. I've used Windows 7 with connect for 2 years with no Windows specific issues.
    I'd call support at 800-945-9120 and see if they can indentify the issue and give you a resolution.

  • When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

    When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

    Hello everyone,
    I was having the same issue:
    "Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
    If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
    4. Event Viewer
    5. Application
    You will see something like this:
    Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
    "Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
    Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

  • 10.5.0.142 update incompatible with windows 7

    I unfortunately updated my desktop (windows 7 32 bit) and laptop (windows 7 64 bit) to itunes 10.5.0.142. Update seems incompatible with windows 7. It has slowed both computers to a crawl, even when itunes not running. Itunes functions do not work or process at a dead crawl. Cannot access the store. Cannot sync iphone. Tried reinstalling previous itunes version, but previous version can't access itunes library, giving error message: "cannot access itunes library that was created by newer version of itunes." Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times. Have turned off all other processes to look for incompatibility, but issues remain. I am NOT PLEASED!.
