Photoshop Upgrade CD Doesn't Recognize Older Version

Hi,
I have Photoshop 7 installed on an old 2.4 MHz DELL with WinXP. This was an upgrade from Photoshop 5 which in turn was an upgrade from Photoshop 3. I recently got a new computer, an HP running 64 bit Windows VISTA. I want to transfer the Photoshop 7 to the new computer and then erase the old computer. When I put the Photoshop 7 (upgrade) install CD in the new computer, it asks for proof that I own an older version. When I put the Photoshop 5 CD in the drive, the Photoshop 7 install program tells me it cannot find an older version to upgrade from and it refuses to install. Is there a solution to this other than installing Photoshop 3 then Photoshop 5 then Photoshop 7 on my computer?
(At this point in time I cannot purchase the latest version of Photoshop; perhaps at a later date I'll be able to.)
Thanks!

You're going to have a tough time here. The earliest version of
Photoshop with any support for that system is CS3.
The two things I can suggest is using a CD drive instead of a DVD and
see if that helps or copy the installers to the harddrive and try from
there.

  • Photoshop elements 13 doesn't recognize my Epson scanner

    I have a Epson Workfoce 545 wireless printer/fax/scanner and newly installed Elements 13 doesn't recognize the scanner.  Do any of you in this community have a suggestion? 

    The scanner is NOT present in the network.  The "all in one printer" that the scanner is a part of  is listed, however.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 doesn't recognize my ATI 4870

    Hello guys, I have just installed Windows 8.1 + all updates.
    After that of course the Photoshop CC 2014 was installed cause I work a lot with my photos.
    Earlier I had win 7 64bit and now win 8.1 64bit.
    I have a problem cause PS CC doesn't recognize my video card correctly.
    I can't enable "use graphics processor". In windows 7 64bit everything was ok.
    I assure you that I have the latest drivers from AMD/Ati site.
    Can you help me some how ?
    This option is very useful for me cause I use a lot of adaptive wide angle for example.
    What can I do in this situation ?

    Sure there is. Download/ buy the CC versions from Topaz Labs.

  • CS5 doesn't recognize older files.

    I have recently started upgrading our CS4 users to CS5 (Standard Suite). The first Windows user that I updated came to me witha  weird issue.
    When he navigates to a folder with the Photoshop files, the icon shows it as being an unrecognized file type. It won't open when you click on it either. He has to right click, and open as...Photoshop CS5 in order to open it. Even when he makes changes and saves it as new it still doesn't recognize the file.
    I uninstalled CS4 from his machine, could that be causing this issue?
    Thanks,

    You *could* just reinstall the newer software...

  • Upgrade guide for users of older versions of Flash Media Server?

    I'm looking around to see if anyone has sort of done a crossover or upgrade guide for people with older FMS installations.
    We've been running the server since at least version 2, and haven't had to change much in upgrading to subsequent versions.
    In doing so, we hadn't had to change to some of Adobe's newer ways of doing things with regards to configuration files, etc.
    In setting up a test 4.5.x server, though... it appears we will likely want to really change the way we are doing things.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive site that would sort of cover topics in a "if you did this this way before, do it this way now" sort of instructions.
    Thanks

    we just moved from 3.5 to 4.03 and now the sound has 'hiccups' - looked thru forum and made some changes but still happening - be nice like you said if there was a 'your using this version, and this is what you need to do in the next' area

  • Can't get the upgrade to over-write the older version

    i have tried to upgrade firefox but the older version keeps coming up. How do i get the newest version to over-write the older - according to my info i am using 25.0.1 which seems to be the newest version but i have some website saying i am using an older version. I have windows vista 2007

    Also, the "FBSMTWB" that appears in your current user agent string (you'll see it in about:config when you venture in there) is associated with an extension that many people find annoying -- unfortunately I can't recall which one it was.
    If you haven't reviewed your extensions for a while, you might want to see whether any deserve to be disabled or removed, particularly if they are nonessential or unrecognized. To open the Add-ons page, either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Hope that prevents your user agent from being changed back to that old version.

  • Is there a way to Uninstall ACR 5.5 and reinstall 5.4? Bridge doesn't recognize this version.

    Hey there. Running Mac os x 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro...
    I had to reinstall my whole CS4 Master Creative Suite because a couple of the programs went missing.
    First step was uninstalling all the other programs and preferences through Adobe unistaller, then reinstalled and did all the updates. (Photoshop is 11.0.1 now).  All updates finished loading successfully except that it was having trouble with the camera raw 5.4 update. It would say it was installed but when I checked the version in photoshop it would say it is the 5.0.0.178 version. So I updated the camera raw to 5.5 (because I use a Nikon D5000).
    5.5 plugin now works fine in Photoshop but in Bridge, the camera raw preferences is "greyed out" and I can't read any NEFs.
    Don't know where to go from here. The plugins folder in the root Library shows one plugin in the cs4 folder and that is the 5.5.
    When I try to install the 5.4 version again, it reads that it can't install because I am running a newer version.
    Thanks for your help. Got some NEF editing to do and this is a major obstacle....
    Johnny G

    Thanks Jeff. The full path is HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plugins/CS4. It was automatically installed.
    Also, the programs went missing because my computer froze and when I rebooted, any programs that were running at the time were no where to be seen, in the apps folder, in spotlight, the trash, etc. It's a mystery to me and I was a IT tech for quite a few years until recent. (Perhaps aliens abducted my programs.) That's the best I could figure out. Even my Entourage went missing and I needed to reinstall this and import an archived folder of mail - lost the most recent email...
    I bought this computer new a few months ago and have updated to 10.5.8 by the normal "software update" function.
    Purging the folders did not work because Bridge still does not recognize that there is a camera raw plugin installed. The "camera raw preferences" still remains "greyed out" when you click on the Adobe Bridge CS4 tab in Bridge.
    Also, when I go to the Adobe uninstaller, I'm not able to uncheck mark the box for the camera raw....
    Perhaps there is a link to just the 5.4 plugin (standalone?) that I can exchange for the 5.5? The camera raw folder in Application Support/Adobe has all the latest camera preferences including the D5000 which just was updated in ACR. So maybe just making a switch? Or is that too old school?
    Oh yes, created another user account, repaired permissions and any disk issues - yet, same problem.
    Thanks again!

  • Upgraded Java, CF still using older version - how?

    This server is Win2008 fully patched, IIS 7.0 in good shape - CF 9.0  no patches installed - which we obviously want to fix. When we tried to install patches, we got this:
    To try and resolve this, our first mistake was installing Java version 8 (1.8) - which we-now-know doesn't work with 9.0.  What I'm not following is why CF settings reports still using 1.6. From what I've read and can see in java.config, it's storing/accessing its own JRE in CF directories. 2 questions: 1) How can I access the security settings for this JRE so I can get patches installed 2) If not possible, am I right in thinking we have to uninstall 8, reinstall the server version of 6 (1.6), point CF at the server version of Java so we can change the security settings (with restarts at the proper places) so we can start getting security patches installed? Any alterations to those steps?
    Once I get to patch 4 we'll be upgrading to Java 7 - does CF 9.01 fully patched work with Java 1.8? I see Java 7 is due to expire April 2015.

    Coldfusion uses its own version of java by default. You can, however, change this to use the version installed on the server when you download it off of the internet. Here is a blog post about this process - How to change/upgrade JDK version of ColdFusion server — Adobe ColdFusion Blog.
    Note as well just because a new version of Java is installed doesnt mean that the old version is gone. Major java revisions dont upgrade, like .NET it just installs the different version. Sometimes when you install Java 7 or 8 it will leave the old legacy versions which the browser will still try and use. Usually, after the Java install is done, it asks if you want to remove the outdated versions. You can use the official Java uninstall tool to scan for old versions and remove them for you - Java Uninstall Tool
    Coldfusion 9 wont support anything higher then Java 7. Java 8 has only just been made available to the most recent version of Coldfusion in the last 6 months or so. Like Java 7 soon, Coldfusion 9 is end of life and support for it stopped last year.
    Finally, you don't need Java to update CF9. Java is used for the browse dialogues to find the files. If you have already downloaded the hotfix jars, just copy and paste the path & file name in to the Update File box and click Submit Changes. This will do the same thing and install the hotfix.

  • My Photoshop Elements 13 doesn't recognize my Canon PRO-10 printer. I've tried EVERYTHING. Reinstalled all my software, didn't fix anything. Can anyone help?

    I have Windows 7 x64 on a desktop PC. I have Photoshop Elements 13. I bought the Canon PRO-10 PRINTER on 2/3 and at first it worked fine. Then I tried to install it as a plug-in in Elements 13, and everything went bad. When I click on AUTOMATION TOOLS it does say "Canon Easy Photo Print Pro" like it should, but when I click on that I get an error message NO SUPPORTED PRINTER FOUND. CONNECT A PRINTER SUPPORTED BY THIS SOFTWARE AND THEN INSTALL A DRIVER. I also tried the FILE > PRINT command which also said there was no printer installed.
    I reinstalled the Canon software and driver. Then I called Canon. I got a real live tech person who checked everything out and asked me to print from a different program. That worked fine and he said, the printer is fine. It's a problem with Adobe. Contact them. I uninstalled my Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and reinstalled it. But the whole situation remains the same. I can't find how to contact a live technician for help so I'm appealing to ANYONE to help me with this. If you can 't help me with the printer problem, can you tell me how to reach a live tech support person at Adobe??

    Made editing changes at 4:05 pm.

    Hi,
    After talking to 3 different Canon techs who didn't know anything about
    this and told me it was Adobe's fault, a 4th Canon tech e-mailed me a list
    of the Elements software that is "compatible" with the Canon Pro-10
    printer. The list stops at Elements 12! In other words, Canon has not
    written the software for their plug-in to work with Elements 13 yet. I
    personally am stunned by this. Considering how popular Adobe Elements is,
    you'd think Canon would be up-to-date on having their new printer's plug-in
    work with Elements 13, which has been out there for some time.
    Not only that, Canon's more expensive printer, the Canon PRO-100, also has
    the same problem. My friend just bought one and told me the plug-in doesn't
    work with Elements 13.
    I have figured out a solution, if it will be of help. I had just
    uninstalled Adobe Elements 12 and when I saw that Canon's plug-in worked
    with Elements 12, I quickly reinstalled it. Sure enough, when I clicked on
    AUTOMATION TOOLS there was the Canon plug-in, and when I clicked on it, the
    Canon print screen opened. So I decided I would do my photo editing in
    Elements 13, and when ready to print I would open the photo in Elements 12
    and print it there. Hope that helps.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard install doesn't recognize my version of IE

    When I try to install Adobe Acrobat Standard 9, I get an error that says I need IE6 or greater and the install will not finish.  I have IE9.  Why doesn't it recognize that I have IE9, and how do I get around this?  Thanks.

  • PhotoShop Elements 10 doesn't recognize my slide scanner

    I have a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual III for my 35mm slides.  The drivers are updated for Windows 7.  But PhotoShop Elements 10 does not see it let alone recognize it's existence.  My Paint Shop Pro Photo app. sees it and works with it.....as does my old, old Paint Shop Photo Album program.   But not my brand new PhotoShop Elements 10.  It sees and works with my HP All-in-one scanner/printer but not with the slide scanner.  What is the problem here?  Any suggestions?

    Yes.  I had downloaded this info. back when I purchased my Win 7  64 bit desktop PC last year and used the updated driver because, of course, Minolta was no longer doing that.  I found these comments regarding the legacy TWAIN driver that is buried in PhotoShop Elements 10 but is not useable unless copied to another folder in the program files.  I performed this action and much to my pleasure.....it worked.  My PSE 10 now works perfectly with my Minolta slide scanner.  I discovered this after I submitted my question to the forum earlier this evening.  AND I really appreciate the answer which validates my actions.  I'm up and rolling again.  Thanks again.

  • Looks like adobe messed up.  Unable to install the 'required" upgrade  required because it won't let you view any videos until you upgrade. Doesn't recognize new password that I changed because it didn't recognize my old one!

    I have been trying to install the new Adobe Flash upgrade 17 for most of the day, it didn't want to recognize my password so I went to the web page changed the password and now it still dosen't like the new password.  Anyone have solutions?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
