Is Adobe Photoshop CS2 compatible with Windows 8.1

I currently have Windows XP and after 10 years have to buy a new computer. I have seen that CS2 works fine on Windows 7 , but now see that Microsoft is discontinuing support for Windows 7 January 2015. Rather then buying a refurbished W7 computer and having ti upgrade in a couple of years, I am thinking of just getting a new W 8.1 computer. Will I be able to install and use my CS2 with a W 8.1 computer? I really cannot afford to buy the new PS and a new computer...I also love my CS2 and have lots of brushes and plug ins that I cannot replace because the companies have gone out of business...

yes, though you may need to use compatibility mode to install.
also, use ps cs2 from here with the posted serial number, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3

    Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

    I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
    DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
    Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
    Thank you,

  • Is CS2 compatible with windows 8

    I have just purchaeed a new windows 8 PC and I'm having problems installing my CS2. Is CS2 compatible with windows 8. It won't let me intall into the programs (x86) folder. I have manually put a Adobe folder into the programs (x86) folder and installed directly into that folder but it won't take my serial number. Says the serial number is invalid

    Not sure if it's 100% compatible, but basic functions seems to be working, no crash so far - tested on 64-bit Windows 8 Professional. Played just a few minutes, though - was curious if all that "free CS2!" is real, rather than really needed it . Installed it in "D:\Adobe", used software and serial numbers provided by Adobe at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html.

    Is Adobe Element 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    The creative cloud has nothing to do with photoshop elements 11, so that won't help.
    Make sure you insert the dvd labeled Windows
    Once you insert the dvd, click on the Folder icon (File Explorer) in the Taskbar on the Desktop
    Then you should see the pse 11 dvd listed under Devices and drives
    Right click on the pse 11 dvd icon, click Open and then double click on the AutoPlay.exe

  • Does Adobe Photoshop CS run with windows 7?

    does Adobe Photoshop CS run with windows 7?

    That also applies to photoshop cs owners as well.
    The reason the specs say windows 2000/xp is because those were the current operating systems cs2 supported when released in 2005, well before windows 7.
    Photoshop cs2 should work on windows 7, but as always there is no guarantee photoshop cs2 will work without some glitches on windows 7.
    If your hesitate about trying it, you can always buy photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc 2014, both of which are specified to work well on windows 7.

  • Is Photoshop CS5 compatible with Windows 8?

    My computer died and I have to buy a new one which will probably come with Windows 8. Is Photoshop CS5 compatible with Windows 8? I can't seem to find a straight answer.

    It is not officially supported as the OS was not available with CS5 was written.  It will work on it however.
    From what I have read Win 8 is a step down from Win 7 from a purely operational view.  It also has an annoying problem with the screen blinking with many of the video cards.  So see if you really like the features of Win8 before committing.  Win7 should still be available but you would have to make it a special request.

    Thank you very much for your kind reply. One last question: If I buy the PC that I have in mind, and it turns out that it is not compatible with my CS 4, is there anything I can download or update from this page that would make it work?
    Thank you again for your kind help!

  • Is Adobe Photoshop CS compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Which Adobe Photoshop is compantible with Snow Leopard? I have MacBookPro 10.5.8 and I upgraded the memory to 4 GB. If I go to 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard, what version of Adobe Photoshop would I need to have?
    Thanks

    Your post has nothing to do with AirPort Networking. You may find that you will get better results if you post to one of the other Communities areas like the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or Other Pro Video.
