Can I Use Adobe Photoshop On This Computer? Help

Model: Presario CQ57 Notebook PC
Process: AMD C-50 Processor
Installed: memory (RAM): 2.00 GB (1.60 GB usable)
System type: 64 bit operating system
Says 180 GB free on boot drive which I know is discouraged to be using the boot  C drive but I don't understand why photoshop will not work if I have freakin 180 GB available but, then again I'm not a techie. I also have 1.60 GB on D drive but both are not enough as I can barely do a single function without a loading screen coming up. If anyone could help me out that would be so great. If you even know about other programs that could do something like create a professional looking header to upload to a website that is also greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
an EXTREMELY frustrated photoshop user

First off thanks for responding to me. The issues vary Pat. Each time I open the application from this computer it is either criplingly slow or crashes the computer all together. What I was looking for as an answer to my question would be a point in the right direction for compatible computers or advice if possible on how to speed up my system or optimize it. This computer is fairly new so I am really confused as to what specs and what computers have those specs in order to run photoshop. Newness of the computer doesn't really matter I guess...

    My computer is not the greatest/

    Well, what ARE the specifications that you don't meet?
    Programs will usually/sometimes run, but only you know how much slowness you can tolerate

    I want to create a script that users will be able to use my adobe photoshop located on a local server and edit photos online. The website I used for testing is [link removed by moderator]

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop Element 11 to manage my photos rather than iPhoto?

    What are the problems, if any, with by passing iPhoto and using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11?

    Are you referring to actually managing the image files with the Adobe Elements 11 organizer as well as editing the photos or just use PSE 11 to edit the photos? 
    The latter is easy.  The former would have you abandon iPhoto, move you photos out of it to folders and then manage the folders and their contents.
    What exactly are you wantng to do:  manage and edit or just edit.
    By the way the file management capability of PSE is far less capable than the photo managementcapability of iPhoto which is a DAM (digital asset management) application.

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended on my brand new iMac? I had PS on my old Mac using the student licensing.

    About four years ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended while I was in undergrad. I downloaded it to my Mac. Since then, I've purchased a brand new iMac. Can I use this same software? I know it's been four years so the software is very updated, AND my new iMac does NOT have a cd drive. This may all be in vain. I'm just clueless! Thanks!

    Emalexander89 you are welcome to install Photoshop CS4 on your new Mac.  You can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

  • Can I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a Windows 7 machine?

    Will my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 work on new Windows 7 computer?

    I am a retired computer software engineer, systems programmer, systems administrator, systems analyst, systems security manager, systems security software systems programmer for a large company (all at the same time), on IBM mainframe, unix, and pc platforms.
    I just installed pse 5 on my Windows 7 64 bit pc a week or so ago, and started using it a few days ago.  Yesterday, I noticed severe problems with My Pictures.  We just had a cruise departing 10/26/2012 on the Enchantment of the Seas out of Baltimore to Bermuda, a cruise to nowhere, due to Hurricane Sandy, turned out very smooth sailing (and smooth anchoring).  I need to post photos so I started using pse 5.  I use Windows Explorer to manage my photo files.
    I created an enchantment  folder for the cruise and put all our photos in it.  I created a number of folders under the enchantment folder so I could work on specific areas without changing the original photos. I was editing the photos with pse 5.  I tried copying a Halloween group of photos into the sub folder halloween, and it copied those photos into the  halloween folder, but made a duplicate of each photo copied in my enchantment folder.  So, for each photo I copied I then had two photos with the same name in the from folder, enchantment.  The 2nd one of each was not marked copy.  I have never seen this on a windows platform.  I deleted the duplicates in the enchantment folder, and in so doing the photos in the halloween folder were automatically deleted.  Numerous other Windows 7 directory problems ensued.  I restarted several times, and tried things with different sub folders and an additional new enchantment folder and received a number of system errors.
    I checked pse 5 and found it already had the pse 5.02 update.
    Sorry about the length of this post.
    With software just about anything could be the culprit, but at this time, I would not recommend using pse 5 on the Windows 7 platform.

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

    Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see

    Hi Kasiah,
    As per the EULA accepted while you launch Adobe applications you can download & install on 2 systems but can use on one at the same time.
