How to Load Photoshop 5.0 LE & other programs on PC with Windows 7?

I have had such a problem, but found the answer in here. Where there might be another
way that works at times, the only way I found was given by Financetech back in 2011.
His answer was the following:
"you can copy across an old XP installation.
On an XP machine copy the Photoshop 5.0 LE program folder from C:\Program\Adobe onto a USB stick. Then also copy the all the DLLs from C:\Windows (there are usually 6 or so), and also copy pcdlib32.dll from C:\Windows\system32.
On the Windows 7 machine copy the Photoshop 5.0 LE folder from the USB stick across to C;\Program Files and also drop all the DLLs into the Photoshop folder.
On the Windows 7 machine in the Photoshop folder right click on photosle.exe and choose Properties -
Compatibility tab and then choose "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (service pack 3).
John"
Well, after trying several other methods I had found, this one was the only way it worked. BUT .... it also worked
well on a program that was designed to be used in Windows for Workgroups, 3.11. Long before Win 95 came around.
That was the last 16 bit OS of Windows where a user had absolute control over his computer. DOS was NOT
inside Windows as it is today. DOS (being Disk Operating System that makes a PC work) was a separate loaded
program before Windows was installed. One could even fix his computer by going to DOS if his PC crashed and
would not let it open. In DOS the PC could be 'fixed'. Even some of the garbage that MS puts in their OS's could
be removed without causing harm to the OS. Today, if Windows doesn't come up, neither will the DOS.
Anyway, that old 16 bit program did load, and does work now in Windows 7 using the above method. Since XP was
a 32 bit OS, many 16 bit applications would load in it. Not all, but many. So, if your 16 bit program will load into
Win 95, 98, 2000, and XP, you can load it in Win 7.
I copied the instructions to keep on hand in a file so that I will be able to help others who do not get into this forum.
(Maybe also due to the fact that I forget a lot these days.)

no, you don't have to remove those files.

    Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

    Googled for an instruction sheet.  Got the following.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/install-pse.html
    and
    https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
    (Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
    In any case it doesn't matter.  I returned it to the store where I bought it.
    Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
    User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help.  But!  They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest  version of itunes.  Still......  First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere  from two to three minutes to load.  None of my other programs take this

    I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest
    version of itunes.  Still......
    First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere
    from two to three minutes to load.  None of my other programs take this
    long.
    When in the itunes program I can be moving around in my library and itunes
    when choosing a song or songs, choosing file, edit, etc,. whatever command I
    choose it just suddenly stops.  I can issue five commands and watch each one
    respond in 30 second to two minute intervals.  I can issue several commands,
    even shutting down, and it will do all but takes several minutes to do so.
    My itunes program was working fine when this problem suddenly arose.
    Terry

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • How to stop an ORB server in other program

    I have writen an ORB server program, just like the sample HelloServer, the main thread wait on a new object forever.
    How to stop the server in some other programs?
    Is there some common method to stop ORB server except kill the main process.
    Thank for any help!

    The question I have is how to stop an orb server programmatically without shutting down my app. My app is a server that runs continuously. I want the ability to shut down just the orb portion and restart it if desired.
    I also look for this capability. When searching for this in the forums, surprisingly, I only find one question for this, but no reply or answer. Does anyone have any idea?
    Thank you for all ideas.

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

  • Is Photoshop elements 10 and Premiere elements 10 compatible with windows 8.1?

    Is photoshop elements 10 and premiere elements 10 compatible with windows 8.1?  I am upgrading from XP and am trying to determine if I should go to 8.1 or windows 7? 

    MakoM
    Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 are compatible with Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit. I have them installed on those operating systems and no problems. My video card is Intel HD Graphics.
    But, a major question is what video card will be used? There is a major issue with Premiere Elements 10 users whose computers use a NVIDIA GeForce video card. It is fixed by rolling back the driver to about May 2013. This is a user to user fix. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has offered one. Full details are the Announcement at the top of the Premiere Elements Forum

    I believe the solution may be to downdate Windows 7 to have XP running as a Virtual Machine, then run 10 in that.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • How do I access iPhoto files from other programs (i.e. PhotoShop Elements)

    From within many programs, specifically PhotoShop Elements or Adobe Bridge tonight, I navigate to "iPhoto Library" and can not access the files within the library to use in these programs. I can get there from within Finder, just not other programs. This is extremely frustrating...can someone please help?

    Of course - it is a database and you must use the correct access methods
    and for a photo editor like PSE you also need to explain what you are trying to do
    IF -- you want to edit photos within the iPhoto library then simply set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - then you edit and save (not save as) and the database is automatically updated -- if you want to choose iPhoto or PSE as the editor then after setting PSE as the external editor set the external editor back to in main window and now normal editing will be in iPhoto but by right clicking on a photo in iPhoto you get a menu allowing you to use PSE for it
    IF - you are generally asking and want the general answer - all open (or attach) dialogue windows have the media browser in the lower left - look under media ==>pictures ==> iPhoto but if you use this method you can not just return photos to iPhoto - you must save as and then import into iPhoto

  • How to update Photoshop and rest of CS4 suite to 64 bit windows 7

    Hi.  I've been using Adobe CS4 Master Suite on a 32 bit vista system.
    I'm switching to a 64 bit windows 7 computer.
    After going through the whole Master Suite Installation process, all of my Adobe programs show up in 32 bit / x86 format, except Photoshop which shows up both in 32 bit / x86 folder AND in 64 bit.
    How do I get the rest of the Master Suite to show up / install in 64 bit?  (is there a separate update?  require a separate purchase?  and why did photoshop work whereas the rest did not?)
    And how do I check within the individual program to see if it's 32 or 64 bit?  (photoshop has a system info tab that identified PS as 64 bit, but other progs don't have that)
    Thanks

    How do I get the rest of the Master Suite to show up / install in 64 bit?
    You don't. Only Photoshop is 64bit, the other apps are conventional 32bit apps. The isntall location is therefore correct (within microsofts guidelines).
