ILLUSTRATOR 7 and upgrades to CS2 on a new 64-bit system

I have a new computer running a 64-bit version of Windows and want to download my Illustrator 7 and subsequent upgrade Illustrator 8, Illustrator 10, and Illustrator CS2. I received a message saying 'cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows.' How can I overcome this problem?

You'll probably find that you will need to run the apps in XP compatibility mode which should emulate a 32 bit OS. I wouldn't count on AI7 or AI8 working though.

  • I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC  and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) .  Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

    I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC  and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) .  Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

    The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

  • CS6 Photopshop, Illustrator and Indesign crash upon opening Window 8 64-bit.

    Runnning Genuine CS6 Photopshop, Illustrator and Indesign crash upon opening  without any error message... worked fine then stopped working.  Running it on Window 8 64-bit.  Have tried opening without 3d party plugins, resetting preferences, and uninstalling and reinstalling.

    did you clear the caches?
    and onthe off-chance that ID got far enough to leave something behind, find the InDesign Recovery folder (a hidden folder, I think, since Snow Leopard or Lion) and empty it if there's anything there.

  • Getting new 64 bit system

    I'm getting the K8T Neo-FIS2R and have 1 big question. The power supply.. I've read 100 postings but can't make out exactly what I can get away with. Just so you know I am shooting for a nearly completely silent computer.  To this end I'll be running a
    AMD 3200+  w/ Zalman 7000 ALCU thingie
    1GB DDR400 RAM w/spreader
    2 Zalman low noise fans
    1 160GB Seagate HD
    1 DVD-CD thingie
    So over at newegg they have a Zalman 300Watt power supply that is rated at 15/A on the 12V line.  From what I've read you need "at least" 18A.  Now the newest and most expensive Zalman PS will give me 18A but newegg doesn't sell them.  The EnerMax noisetaker 420 and 470 I found on newegg have 15A and 16A respectivly.  So I guess my question is what are others using for their 64 bit systems that want to be able to think while the PC is on.  

    Mine is pretty silent, and I even hate noise too
    But I covered the entire internals in foam

  • Upgrading to Leopard; Installing Photoshop 5.5 and Upgrading to CS2

    Hello,
    I currently have Panther running on my MAC and I want to upgrade it to Leopard. I originally had Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and had upgraded to Photoshop CS, then to Photoshop CS2 on my MAC running Panther. If I upgrade my MAC to Leopard, do I go through the same process? ...install Photoshop 5.5 then install my Photoshop CS2 Upgrade?
    I know that I will need to deactivate/transfer activation before uninstalling Photoshop CS2 and activate after the Leopard Upgrade.
    Any assistance/tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

  • If you have an apple protection plan and upgraded do you need a new one?

    I have just upgraded to the 4S and I have an apple protection plan for my 3GS.  Do I need to purchase another apple protection plan?

    Your old AppleCare does not transfer when you upgrade, sorry.  And AppleCare+ for the iPhone 4s needs to be purchased at the same time as the phone itself, so I believe you are out of luck at this point.

    Seems you may be able to add it up to 30 days after purchasing the iPhone, but you have to go in person so they can inspect the phone beforehand.

  • "Response Code" needed to install CS3 (upgrade from CS2) - cannot get through on 'chat'

    How do I get a Response Code for installing CS3 (upgraded from CS2) on a new computer? I used to be able to call for the code but there is no phone support anymore. I have spent 3 days trying to connect through chat which is supposed to be available 24/7 and it says 'chat is unavailable at this time'. I have no way of installing my software. Please help adobe.

    Okay so I spent a further 2 hours on hold this morning and actually forgot I was on hold until I heard the beep beep beep of disconnection!  GARRRRRR
    Anyway, after a nice visit from my family to celebrate my birthday, i got back on the phone this afternoon.
    5 minutes later I was speaking to a Technical Support guy who was extremely helpful, did not ask me to repeat trouble shooting steps I had already taken, listened to me carefully as I explained the problem and diagnosed, fixed and activated my software within 30 minutes.
    Resolution of the problem:  they gave me an updater checker response code which worked immediately. Ctrl/Shift+dbl click on the broken update cheker page and up came a back door screen.  Just a few digits later  and PRESTO my software is up and running like a dream.  Activation was smooth and registration no problem.
    THANKS!!!
    Now i just have to figure out how to tell Acrobat Prof 8 where the damn .dll is on my 64 bit vista computer - having already installed acrobat professional without telling it where to look because I didn't think the install was going to work anyway. Dang.

  • I want to upgrade from CS2 to CS5.

    I want to upgrade from CS2 to CS5. Will my system requirements be adequate? Thank you!
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name:          iMac
    Model Identifier:          iMac7,1
    Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz

    Total Number Of Cores:          2
    L2 Cache (per processor):          4 MB

    Bus Speed:          800 MHz

    I don't think you will be able to upgrade to CS5 as it is not for sale thru Adobe.  I don't think anyone outside of Adobe sells upgrades.  Thru Adobe you would have to purchase a full version of CS6 (or subscribe to the CLoud)... there is no upgrade path from CS2 to CS6

  • Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer. Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10, which has been installed in new computer. CS5 install says I need CS2,3, or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went dir

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • How do I get out of cs3 Illustrator's upgrade check? I already have a purchase serial number and there is no known, upgrade for CS3 for Illustrator. It has CS2.

    How do I get out of cs3 Illustrator's upgrade check? I already have a purchase serial number and there is no known, upgrade for CS3 for Illustrator. It has CS2.

    Questions:
    Is the app store looking to my hard drive for traces of aperture to determine whether it has been purchased or is it looking at some kind of purchase history within the app store?
    Is there anyway to wipe my hard drive clean of aperture files or wipe clean my app store purchase history so that i can start over?
    If none of this is possible, does anyone have a possible solution?
    If i were to redownload aperture (currently for free since it won't let me pay) when a subsequent update comes out (say it goes from version 3.2.2 to 3.2.3) can i then elect to buy aperture, pay the fee and will it appear as a purchased app and allow me to get upgrades going forward?  Would any data be compromised with this?
    1. Do you have a backup connected to your Mac that contains the app? If so, yes the MAS can detect that and believes that the app is installed.
    2. If the app no longer appears in the purchase history on the Purchased pane in the MAS, then it would seem that Apple has taken care of that.
    4. Updates, such as you describe are free. Upgrades are not. An upgrade is a new paid version of the app, such as v 3.0 to v 4.0.

  • Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"

    Hi,  New to this so I apologize in advance.  Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!)  and all worked fine until 4 days ago.  I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working"  I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply....  I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now!  Thanks

    CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
    Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.
