Can I stay on XP for CS5 or is it better to go to Windows 7?

I am thinking of moving to CS5 from CS4 and am on Windows XP SP3. Will Windows 7 make a big difference or will it run just as well on XP? I am thinking of moving to windows 7.

Also, read the differences between Win7 64bit Home and PRO
I don't remember the exact number (16 Gig ???) but Home has a top limit of the amount of Ram it will use
Go to the CS5 Benchmark http://ppbm5.com/ site and look at the performance gains going from 12 to 24 Gig of ram

  • I need to copy Photoshop to my new laptop. Previous one fried. Can't find my disc for CS5. Is there a way?

    I had to buy a new laptop because previous one fried. Can't find my disc for CS5 to install it. I have it installed on my desktop and would like to copy it from one to another. Is there a way to do this?

    Download the CS5 installer from Download CS5 products
    Install then enter your serial number.

  • Hi, can i change cc payment for cs5?

    Plese can some one help me to change the version of the licence? I just paid for the ilustrator cc the 25 euros for the mesual fee one year long and i realized that my computer can not use this last version. I can use cs5 but the serial number is not working for cs5 version. Please can I change the licence  to cs5 version or maybe i could just get the money back from illustrator cc version.
    Best regards,

    Melibranqui,
    You should be able to access an earlier version through the CC subscription; CS6 is the one between CS5 and CC.
    CS5 is no longer for sale.
    You may buy CS6, though.
    You can find the system requirements for CS6 here,
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-system-requirements.html
    and for CC here,

    Apart from that, you may try this specialized forum (where you may be able find the answer from previous threads),

  • Can I still get extensions for CS5.5?

    How do I download extensions for CS5.5? I see a new Extension Manager but only for 6 and all of the links on the 5.5 pages go to error pages???
    Help!!
    Jenn

    Hi Jenn,
    You should have Extension Manager with your install of CS5.5. If not you can download it here (the link to CS5.5 is about half way down the page):
    http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/
    Adobe Exchange only supports CS6 and beyond so you can use Adobe Exchange Classic in the mean time:

    I hope that helps.

  • Where can I get BASIC instructions for CS5?

    Is there a manual? The video tutorials are much too advanced for me.

    As Peter says, the CS4 version should do for you. The difference, of course, is the lack of reference to CS5 features. But since you are asking for basic help, then the core features you need the most instruction with are essentially unchanged. As a book for a now obsolete program, the CS4 version can probably be bought at a discount (I have not searched) or might be available at your library.
    I would also like to thank you for not just burying the forum with a bunch of questions on how to accomplish specific basic tasks. I love to answer questions here (hence over 3,000 posts), and I often learn a lot by trying the solutions before posting them. I even don’t mind answering the occasional basic question. But when the same user keeps asking for help with the simplest tasks, I can get a little… abrasive. Those people should be seeking the very help for which you are asking.

  • Can't download Pixel Bender for CS5

    I've tried clicking directly on the link on the Adobe downloads page for Pixel Bender and also the links offered in the forum. Same result each time, a very long page of mostly question marks comes up but no other indication that PB is downloading. I have Photoshop 12.0.4 x 64. I checked to make sure the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 is in my Applications folder and it is. What am I doing wrong?

    @ MTSTUNER
    No, it is not listed there.
    In PS CS5 after closing I get a warning that the application has crashed (adobeowl.dll). Contacted Adobe about this but got no reply. Lightroom crashes when using the Detail Masking slider (posted that in the appropriate forum). This doesn't seem to get fixed either.
    Pixel Bender won't install and I just give up, don't want to waste any more time by visiting yet another forum.
    I guess Windows XP is not really supported by Adobe. And there are problems with Win 7 too, I read. Maybe it's better to switch to Mac and use Aperture in combination with The Gimp?
    But thanks for the help anyway.

  • How can I download a driver for my HP Photosmart 7660 that ACTUALLY WORKS in Windows 7?

    I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 7.  HP does not provide an updated driver for the Photosmart 7660
    in Windows 7.  The HP website offers an alternative driver (HP Deskjet 5660) that does NOT work, after trying three times. 
    HP support useless.  How can I get a valid working driver for this printer and continue to use Win 7.  Interestingly
    my wife's Mac still works fine with this printer.

    Try the standalone updater here:

    Hope that works for you. Regards.

  • How can we get a url for a "Meet Now" conference call from within the Windows Store App?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to get the url for the current meeting / new "Meet Now" call from within the Windows Store app?
    You have the option of inviting your current Lync contacts, but I don't see a way of giving a URL to clients that would launch Lync on their device, or take them to the web app.
    I can see how to get the link using the Outlook plugin, for pre-scheduled meetings. Is this link always the same and the one that should be used for an impromptu "Meet Now" meeting? It would still be good to know how to get this URL from within
    the store app so I can tell clients where to get it.
    Some people may be on Windows RT devices and not have access to the plugin in Outlook, and want to start a meeting at short notice and then invite others via email or pasting a link to them elsewhere.
    Any help appreciated.
    If I have answered your question, please mark it as the correct answer. If I have provided helpful information, please mark it as so.

    Hi,
    Agree with Holger, I check on my Lync Windows Store app and can't find the meeting URL as well.

  • Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

  • How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • Where can I find Plugins / Transitions for Premiere Pro CS5 (not Cs 5.5 or 6) ?

    Hello,
    I am searching and searching for transition packs for Premiere Pro CS5, there are lots for 5.5 or 6 but none for 5. At least I could't find them.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.displayTab4.html
    Chances are most plug-ins working for the later versions will also work for CS5, but you can check with each company if you're not sure.
