My version of Adobe not compatible with Windows 7. Trying to update Adobe.

I have Adobe Pro 6.0 which will not run on my new laptop, which has Windows 7 Home. What update do I need to download to get Adobe working? Thanks!

Assuming that you have a desktop icon for Acrobat 6, right-click on it, Properties, tab Compatibility, then check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'.

  • HP DVD1260I not compatible with windows 8.1

    Recently i bought HP DVD1260I dvd burner, it works fine at first. I have windows 8.1 PC, recently I noticed my Dvd drive is not shown in windows explorer as well as in device mananger, but the dvd drive is shown in BIOS. To check my dvd is working or not, i have booted with linux cd, it works fine. Now, it shows that the dvd drive is not compatible with windows 8.1 (recent updates may cause this issue). Could anybody help?

    Hi Jero,
    Welcome to the HP Forum!
    There are some issues with the upgrade - even if your system came with Windows 8.1, there are a bunch of HP products that are not updated yet for the new 8.1 environment.  It is a pain, but the truth is that some things take more time than others.  I do not work for HP, by the way, this is just my personal opinion.
    Disclaimer:  I am not running Windows 8.1 at this writing;  I have some issues with the way in which 8.1 will treat some of my favorite setups...  I am not ready to commit to the discomfort.  Smiling.
    You do have to be on the latest SimplePass to have a chance at all for this to work.
    It appears that you are aware of the native Windows 8.1 fingerpring login service - this is a good thing.
    I do not know personally if the fingerprinter, native or not, will work with that new "feature" of Windows 8.1 that wants us all to log in with our Microsoft password.
    I did find a fix for Windows Live Login:  Quick Tip: Change to a local account in Windows 8.1
    If you can get your system set back to a local login and then make sure you are running the latest HP Simplepass,  things may fall into place.
    Latest HP SimplePass (at writing) is linked in the following file:
    SkyDrive >> look for and open the file named:

    I hope something here helps!

  • 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.

  • Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  Need replacement that will work.

    adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  need a replacement that will work.  any suggestions.

    I would recommend Acrobat 10.  You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.  It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

  • Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

    After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

    hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • My computer says that this version of photoshop elements is not compatible with windows 7

    my computer says that this version of photoshop elements is not compatible with windows 7. What do I do?

    Care to give us some details of exactly what it is that you're trying to do?  Telling us the version of PSE would also help.

  • Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

    I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
    Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
    with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
    but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
    windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
    or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
    latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
    RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
    fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
    is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
    will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
    is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
    that it should be of high importance that these issues are
    resolved.
    Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
    and Vista?

    Hi cptv8
    I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
    findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
    early adopters.
    You stated:
    Technically vista is not due to domestic market until january
    07, however businesses will be able to purchase vista in only two
    weeks, and as Captivate is generally used for business/training use

    these issues are resolved.
    You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
    wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
    visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
    supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
    issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
    Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
    clicking
    here.
    Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
    it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
    tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
    making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
    gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
    aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
    can.
    Sincerely... Rick

  • Acrobat Reader 5.0 not compatible with windows vista sp1. What can I do?

    I just got a camcoder that uses Acrobat Reader 5.0 and can view the stillshots but can't view the motion shots. It says it's not compatible with windows vista sp1. What can I do to make them compatible?

    Upgrade to the latest version of Reader through here: http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-READER

  • Acrobat Pro 9 is not compatible with Windows 7

    Acrobat Pro 9 is not compatible with Windows 7.  How do I upgrade my version?
    Thanks,
    John

    Where did you get that information (other than Win 7 is not listed in the compatibility list)? I have been using AA9 on Windows 7 for several years (it is a 32-bit system). Did you try to install it or some other issue crop up? You may need to be sure you install the updates, but otherwise it should work. Even folks with AA8 have been successful on Win 7 (at least that is what they have reported), though they are likely to have some minor problems at times.
    My Win7 came with Acrobat 9 when Win 7 first came out and has worked fine. If you have upgraded OFFICE to 2010 or later, then you would only be able to print, not use PDF Maker.
    That being said, it is still a good idea to go ahead and upgrade. AA9 is the oldest version qualifying for the upgrade to AAXI.

    If you are on windows 7 I would recommend you to switch to the latest Acrobat DC as it has a new and interesting UI along with enhanced features that will make your work a lot simpler .

  • Is Elements 8 NOT compatible with Windows 7???

    I have been working with this program all day, with a book at my side making my first album to share. I re-edited one photo and it locked into a "editing in process" and it went down hill from there. Now most things just don't work.  I can't switch back and forth to Organize, edit, albums etc.  It freezes. I've lost count on number of times I've rebooted.  Now it won't even open. I loaded the program early Aug and have just been playing with it; it worked fine on pratice projects.  I'm beginning to think this 8 is not compatible with Windows 7. My book says it will upload fixes. Should I just reload again?  Geez!!!
    Probably just answered my own question.............reload!!!!!

    I have just bought a new computer - Win7 - very fast - lots of memory, and PSE8 is a real dog compared to my experience with PSE5 on my old computer with XP.  Here are some examples:
    clicking the arrow to open tab groups has a big delay - about 4 sec (immediate on PSE5)
    <F11> full screen takes 5-10 sec at least (immediate on PSE5)
    even applying a star rating in full screen takes 3-5 sec of delay before I can go to the next frame
    I have turned off all auto-analyzing options but no real impact to above.
    Anyone experiencing the same?   This is very frustrating when earlier version is responsive and newer version is not.

  • F4400 not compatible with windows 8

    I just bought a new laptop with has Windows 8 on it and when I went to play the cd for my HP All in One Printer nothing happens.
    This is version 13.0.0 HP Deskjet F4400 
    Will I be able to get a new CD or a link to add this printer to my laptop
    Thanks
    Judy

    Hello @Gram23 , welcome to the community
    I read about how the installation disk you have for your Deskjet F4400 series printer, is not compatible with Windows 8.
    That is okay! You can download and install your printer from the website. Click this link, select which F4400 you have and choose Drivers and Download from there. When the download completes, the installation will start automatically, just follow the instructions on the screen until its completed.
    Drivers & Software
    I hope that helps you

  • Photoshop 6 not compatible with windows 8!

    Do you mean Version 6, not CS6? Then you have to buy a new version, either CS6 or subscribe to CC.

  • Time Capsule not Compatible with Windows 7

    As everyone is aware by now I'm sure, the Time Capsule with firmware 7.4 and up is not compatible with WIndows 7 when trying to access the TC disk through Windows 7. My question is when or is Apple going to update the firmware with a Windows 7 compatible version? I am sure that I am not the only one ready to return my TC.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +My question is when or is Apple going to update the firmware with a Windows 7 compatible version?+
    We're all end users just like you and have no way of knowing in advance what Apple will do. Even if someone has "heard something", the terms and use agreement for the forum does not allow us to discuss future products or developments.
    Have you contacted Apple directly regarding your concerns? There's no assurance that they even read these boards.

  • Creative Zen Micro Not compatible with Windows Vi

    My daughter has a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, no video feature, just the the music player. She recently got a new computer that runs Windows Vista. She tried to install the program on her new computer, and it said the software was not compatible with Windows Vista. Does that mean I need to get new software from Creative Zen? to use the program on The computer running?Windows Vista? Any help would be appreciated..

    The software that came on the original CD is not supported on vista.
    The Zen Micro will work nati'vely with Vista if it contains the latest firmware version. If the Zen Micro isn't being recognized by Vista then you will need to use an older system (windows xp) to upgrade the firmware on the Zen Micro. Once Vista recognizes the Zen Micro you should be able to download Vista compatable versions of the software for the device from the creative website.
