Is Adobe Illustrator 8.0 compatible with Windows 7?

Is Adobe Illustrator 8.0 compatible with Windows 7? It will not install automatically and when I try to manually run the setup exe I get an error message.

mcalomeris,
At least according to this website, you should be able to run older applications/versions in XP mode in Windows 7:
http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/reviews/2010/01/windows-xp-mode.ars
Here is an excerpt:
Virtualizing the problem
With Windows 7, however, Redmond has provided a solution to the problem: Windows XP Mode. Windows XP Mode uses virtualization technology to let applications running on a virtualized copy of Windows XP show up in the Windows 7 Start menu and on the Windows 7 desktop.
Windows XP Mode is a downloadable add-on for Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise. It has two parts: the virtualization software itself, and a disk image containing a pre-installed, activated, licensed copy of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 preinstalled, complete with the glorious Internet Explorer 6.
The virtualization software is the latest iteration of Virtual PC. Although you wouldn't know it from the download page, this is available for any version of Windows 7 aside from Starter. You wouldn't know it, because selecting a version of Windows other than those previously listed removes the option to download Virtual PC. It shouldn't, though; it should only remove the option to download the Windows XP Mode image.
The download link is here:

  • Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

    Is Adobe Premiere Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8? Or maybe it will have problems?

    Riccardo Pesare
    I have Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, and it runs well there.
    But, I must disagree with SG when he writes
    It will likely run. But it will not be able to take advantage of Windows 8's advanced architecture (including the 64-bit operating system and ability to access more than 4 gigs of RAM).
    You can prove to yourself that Premiere Elements 10 is a 64 bit application running on Windows 8 64 bit. To do this use the Process Explorer Sysinternals and add a Image Type Column readout. When you do this for Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the readout tells you that you are working with a 64 bit version.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
    And, as a 64 bit application, Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 Windows should be able to take full advantage of the 64 bit system when Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    I suspect SG is thinking Mac not Windows in his comment. It is my recollection that Premiere Elements 10 Mac is still a 32 bit application on 64 bit system. And, you are using Windows, not Mac.
    We will watch for his clarification on this point or for support for what he posted as is.

    is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

    Unfortunately, while I imagine it could be made to run on Windows 7, you simply won't be able to activate it on the new system because Adobe has taken the activation servers offline.
    For a while Adobe published a version of CS2 with a special no-activation serial number, specifically for folks who have run afoul of the activation server problem, and at first it included users of CS and CS2.  Unfortunately, the language of that page has changed to make it clear that only licensed users of CS2 may take advantage of the download.
    You can judge for yourself here:

  • Adobe Acrobat 5 not compatible with Windows 8

    When I try to open up files saved in Adobe Acrobat 5 my new computer with Windows 8 gives me a message that they are not compatible with Windows 8. What do I need to do to be able to open these files on my new computerwth Windows 8?

    Did you install reader or such on Win8? AA5 is not even compatible with Win7, though it can be made to work with work arounds for the 32-bit version. I suspect you also have a 64-bit system, which I think is totally incompatibile with AA5. Download the Reader XI and try to open the PDFs with that. I suspect they will open fine.
    If you want to create PDFs, you will need to purchase AA XI.

  • Is Adobe Creative Web Premium compatible with Windows 8?

    Hello,
    I' m looking to buy a new laptop which has Windows 8, would I be able to use my Adobe Creative Suite 3 web premium with this?
    I really need to sort this out tomorrow so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks :-)

    CS3 wasn't even officially certified for Win 7, so you should be prepared that it may not at all work with an even newer Windows version... I would predict that e.g. printing will absolutely not work, bvecause that part has completely changed in Win 8. Beyond that I doubt you will find definitive answers. There's simply too many variables. For some it works, for others it won't. Nothing's lost by trying, though.

    Possibly, but then again maybe not. You won't know until you try. Works without a hitch for some people, is nothing but trouble for others. Depends too much on teh specifics of the system and the Windows configuration used...

  • Is Adobe CS premium (educational) compatible with windows 7 OS?

    I have a copy of CS premium and managed to install parts of it on a previous windows 7 machine. That machine is now kaput and I have another windows 7 OS. The main reason for purchasing this software was to use the Photoshop programme. Unfortunately this never installed properly on the previous machine and I was not unable to uninstall it. I didn't manage to find a solution, neither did the help-person I wrote to. Thanks if you can help as I'd really like to be able to use Photoshop again.

    Don't think so. Generally anything before CS4 is not tested and certified on Win 7 and while some people have gotten CS3 and CS2 versions to work and evene the pre-CS PS 7, I've never heard of the original CS functioning. And even if through divine intervention or whatever you may get it to install, it will no doubt expose problems somewhere along the way. It might really be easier to just buy a new version - if all you need is PS, that seems acceptable and you shall have peace at least for the next 5 years. For everything else Creative Cloud is always an alternative...
