Most of the PCs have been replaced but we have an issue with one user who had Photoshop on their PC. It is version 6 we believe, but the company does not wish to by a new version ($1400). This one user has a huge amount of work done in Photoshop and needs to keep using it. As with most corporate customers, the original disks were taken off site and have of course been lost to the winds of time. Their IT department says that they can load the old version from the old (wet) drive (if we can get it going) onto the new drive in the new PC. I can’t see how this can be done as it would have to be "installed" as opposed to copied. Has anyone heard or seen this being done, as this has me intrigued. Cheers HH	Happy Harry (321)
