PE 4.0 Windows 7 Compatibility

Hi, apologies if this sounds daft, but I'm new to this and can't find a direct answer to my question in the forum so far.
I have Photoshop Elements 4.0 and I love it, have done loads with it, however recently I've been forced into getting a new PC and it's come with Windows 7. The problem is I can't even get the installation to complete on my elements properly and wondered which version is the earliest one I need to upgrade to for true 64bit compatibility, or should I just jump straight to vsn 9
Thanks in advance,
Lee ( tegne101 )

Was your problem resolved? You must give a try to PSE9..it is compatible with Win7 and has a lot many new features.

  • Windows 8 Compatibility issue -

    I just ran the MS Windows 8 compatibility test on my Windows 7 system... a number of programs were flagged, including iTunes.. however, the action to be taken seems vague:  a yellow caution symbol was displayed with the words, "remove authorized PCs"
    What does that mean?  Do I need to deauthorize my PC before doing the upgrade?  Do I need to uninstall iTunes? (I am running v.11) And then reinstall it after upgrading to Windows 8? 

    Ok, no replies.. so here is what I found out....
    It seems that you can have up to 5 computers authorized to use iTunes.  If one of the computers that is being upgraded to Windows 8 is one of those 5, you may need to deauthorize iTunes before the install.  Why? Because apparently the new install treats the system as a new system, so in order to keep your authorized systems under 5, it may be necessary to deauthorize before the install, then reauthorize again after the install.
    Of course, if this is the only computer authorized, then no biggie.. you will end up with two authorized systems and everything should still hum along. The only concern is if you already have 5 computers authorized, then you need to use this process to ensure that iTunes will still work after the install.
    Odd that iTunes would be so picky... Adobe is infamous about software activations - insisting on the product being deactivated before uninstalling and reinstalling... but no concern here about upgrading to Windows 8
    Hope that helps some others that had a question about this item.
    Oh, and btw.. make sure your notebook manufacturer has drivers for Windows 8 - Microsoft had stated that the upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 would be smooth and hiccup free.. but no mention of drivers. Seems there could be issues with drivers. I have a relatively new ASUS G53SW, and apparently ASUS does not have any drivers for Windows 8!

  • Satellite T230 and Windows 8 compatibility

    Hello,
    My Satellite T230 (PST4AE) is not listed on Windows 8 compatibility's page. Is it not compatible at all?

    The Win 8 matrix lists only the notebook models which were delivered and preinstalled with Win 7 and will get Win 8 driver via Win 8 Update Assistant.
    But the list does not mean that not listed notebooks are not Win 8 capable
    Here is a official information from Microsoft about Windows 8 system requirements
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements
    If you want to run Windows 8 on your PC, here's what it takes:
    Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (more info)
    RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
    Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
    Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

  • CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

    Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

    If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
    In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it.  Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

    Hello Alxandr,

  • Acrobat 9 Standard and Windows 7 Compatibility

    We are in the process of planning a migration of company computers to Windows 7 and Office 2010.  We have a large number of Acrobat users with various versions with many using v9, just upgraded last year.  Microsoft's "Windows 7 Compatibility Center" says Acrobat v9 Standard is "Compatible, No Action Required".  We are finding that this may not be the case, specifically with printing.  I have not been able to locate any information on the Adobe site stating compatibility of older versions, only that Acrobat X is compatibite.
    Is anyone having success with Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Standard?  Does anyone know where to find Adobes compatibility statement for older Acrobat version?
    Thanks!

    Acrobat 9.0 is not Windows 7 compatible. However, I think it was compatible somewhere around 9.2.3. If you upgrade to Acrobat 9.4.3 you should have no issues. I ran with that setup for many months using Acrobat Pro.

  • I can't turn windows program compatibility off

    I enabled "turn off application compatibility engine" and "turn off program compatibility assistant" in computer configuration (through group policy edit) and also "turn off program compatibility assistant" in user configuration,
    and still when I try to install visual studio it says: "Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again". where should I turn off windows program compatibility? once I enabled "remove program compatibility property
    page" and now I don't have this page even after I disabled this setting. now how can I have this page back? Is there a command that I can use it in cmd to change these settings?

    Hi,
    Here is the workaround:
    Rename the EXE accordingly:
    Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate -> vs_ultimate.exe
    Premium -> vs_premium.exe
    Pro -> vs_professional.exe
    Express for Web -> vns_full.exe
    Express for Windows -> win8express_full.exe

  • Windows 10 Compatibility with HP Envy

    Hi,  I was trying to reserve the free Windows 10 copy, but the Get Windows app have not show up.I asked the microsoft forum about it and they said that my laptop was not compatible, but the answers were vague and it didnt convince me. My laptop have the following characteristics: HP - ENVY 17.3" Refurbished Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 12GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - SilverModel: m7-k111dx    SKU: 1312565768                         Refurbished

    Technical details: 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor; 17.3" display; 12GB memory; 1TB hard drive
    Special features: Touch screen; HDMI output My older laptop, by far worst than the new one, managed to get the App and Reserve Win10 options, so thats odd. I've tried to run the following script and did every single attempt pointed at this link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/i-want-to-reserve-my-free-copy-of-windows-10-but-i/848b5cce-958b-49ae-a132-a999a883265b Is it true that my HP is not compatible with the Windows 10? If not, how can I reserve it or get the Get Windows 10 App?

    You're very welcome. I doubt that it is incompatible. There was a post from a HP administrator on a part of the forum that is not accessible to all members which stated in substance... Windows 10 Compatibil​ity Tool Alert ‎06-05-2015 12:29 PM  HP has received reports from customers who are seeing cases where the Windows 10 compatibility tool that is part of Microsoft’s Get Windows 10 app is classifying some items as incompatible that, in fact are compatible. We are currently investigating this with Microsoft. Please check back for information. 

  • Setting Windows 8 compatibility mode via ADK

    By comparison, I can set those modes via Windows Explorer.  Is there a newer ADK available?

  • TS3299 opticals drive disappeared in my Windows 8 computer.   After  1-1/2 on the phone this was corrected but now my Itunes don't  recognize the drive.  Error message stating registry errors.  I tried   running in windows 7 compatibility mode that don't

    Purchased a new Ipad for my wife and integrated it with my windows 7 system and Itunes and made it through.  Was able to sync and bring pictures, contacts and bookmarks over.  Not to say it was easy because I never used any Apple product except my Ipad and Itunes.  Really enjoyed using the Ipad and was thinking of getting a new Iphone this week being my contract is up.
    Then the trouble began I bought a new windows 8 system after having trouble with my old hard drive.  I have finances and Tax programs I use that I thought would be easier to continue using windows rather than trying integrating past years Quicken & Turbo Tax information into a new Apple system.
    Well now I'm sorry I bought the new windows 8 system.  First all my optical drives disappeared when installing itunes.  After spending 1-1/2 on the phone with a service rep and finally was able to see my optical drive I thought everything was OK.  Then more trouble.  When I open Itunes I receive an error message that says my Itunes no longer recognizes my optical drive try reinstalling.  I reinstalled 10 times and tried compatibility mode and the end result is my Itunes no longer could burn Cd's.  I had this problem if I'm not mistaken in the past with ME system back many years ago.  And did not want to go through this again but here I am disgusted once again.

    I finally got my nano working (no thanks to Apple, hmpf!) and it's running fine with 1.0.2 now. For those with similiar problems try this:
    +For Mac, you need to:+
    +1. Downgrade to firmware 1.0.1 by deleting the files iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw and iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw.signature (are in the folder iPod software updates somewhere on the harddisk)+
    +2. under Settings in iTunes you have to disable automatic download of updates, then restart iTunes.+
    +3. Enter Disc Mode by holding menu & select for about ten seconds, then pressing play/pause & select for another ten seconds.+
    +4. reconnect your nano to Reset, and when iTunes prompts to update, just don't allow it to look for updates and then reset with fw 1.0.1.+
    I'm supriced Apple support didn't tell me about this? This worked great and is a very fast fix. I can't believe Apple got me to reinstall the whole OS, which didn't even solve it btw. USB 1, blah! Yeah right..

  • When I try to open iTunes,it tries to start but than I get a message stating-iTunes has stopped working , close the program. Does anyone have a problem like this? I'm using windows 7 compatibility turned off.

    I'm using a Dell PC with windows 7. Apple Store cannot open completely. An error message states- iTunes has stopped working, close the program.
    I have spoken to at least 3 Techs with no solutions found for this problem. Compatibility mode turned off. Newest Download from Apple site.

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
