224253	2004-03-21 22:46:00	Hi, last week I was asked to upgrade my Adobe v6- and also try out Photoshop v2 . I did as asked- but found version 2 was little more than useless- it will only resize a photo - no other ability at all - as compared to Photoshop v7- which I had installed on my W 98 h/d many moons ago. This version is remarkably useful- though no doubt now out of date. I then tried to install the same version in my ( dual boot) XP harddrive- it will load up the CD Rom but freezes after about three steps into the install. I tried to "copy"the program fron W 98 and paste direct to XP but get told that critical information was not available. It is still working in 98 but in the W 98 set up,it does not recognize the XP hardrive which is also in the same computer ( - it does in the reverse process- XP shows W 98 h/d) Any comments? effie c	effie C (772)

Did you expect a very old version (V2) to be better than a much later version (v7)? > I then tried to install the same version in my ( dual > boot) XP harddrive What "same version"? V2 or V7? > I tried to "copy"the program fron W 98 and paste > direct to XP but get told that critical information > was not available. We have covered this scenario before, you cannot/must not copy over program files and expect them to work. They must be installed, not copied. Its easy to trash the OS that way in some cases. > It is still working in 98 but in the W 98 set up,it > does not recognize the XP hardrive which is also > in the same computer ( - it does in the reverse > process- XP shows W 98 h/d) Is XP using NTFS or FAT32? 98 cannot recognise NTFS. XP recognises both. > Any comments? Only a question why you would try loading a very old version of software over the top of a later version, and expect it to go well? Otherwise, I am simply confused...	godfather (25)
224255	2004-03-22 05:06:00	Hi Godfather Yes I assumed the upgrade came from Adobe as I am using v 6 - currently - looks like I was wrong. V2 was a teaser- whereas v7 is the full monte- registration and all- I would have thought that I could have installed such in XP- and ignore the teaser. Yes you have discussed copying Scrabble from W 98 BUT it worked- then when I had a flutter - I deleted the copy and re installed it off the CD and still had flutter- so deleted all reference to Scrabble on XP( Smithie 38 installed the Scrabble on his XP and it works perfectly) I accept that I was pushing my luck in the photoshop pro but in the light of the above - it might have worked- . Fat32 and NTFS - now that answers my query - that I did not know. Don't think I am loading an old version over the top of a new one- I even cleaned the registry of any photoshop program but still had the "old CD install" freeze in a so called virgin install on XP effie c	effie C (772)
224256	2004-03-22 06:15:00	Very simple programs dont involve the registry, and these can copy and paste to another PC . They are few and far between nowdays, but things like scrabble probably are among them . When the registry is not involved, its not a problem . When it is, you need to be very cautious . If in doubt, don't do it . I am still concerned though . Its not credible that they would upgrade Photoshop from Version 6 and call it version 2 . What you were seeing I believe is "Photoshop Album Version 2" which is NOT Photoshop (the image editing program) . Different horses . Different courses . A totally different program with a different purpose in life .	godfather (25)

224258	2004-03-22 10:31:00	Seeing as he downloads that shareware game every month to avoid a five dollar registration fee i doubt he has a $1500 dollar copy of Photoshop CS to play around with	metla (154)
