Cannot open legacy program
Windows updates appears to have changed settings, and now I cannot launch
Photoshop 5.0, which has always worked fine. (It still opens in Safe Mode. ) Tried running Compatibility Wizard, to no avail. The third option for resolving compatibility issues (GUI) is beyond my expertise. |

Cannot open legacy program
I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but had to use Photoshop Uninstall, as Photoshop had disappeared from my Add/Remove Programs list! It seems that Windows is demanding that I register the software, which is not necessary as it is not an MS product. Moreover, since it is already registered with Adobe, Adobe will not allow me to duplicate the registration (maybe because my version 5.0 is so old?) This registration problem was confirmed when I went to the Adobe site that you suggested. When I went into Registry Editor, as it directed, to make a change, the only option appearing under Software was "Registration". It appears that some automatic MS update has made a change, and now I need to find a way to BYPASS this MS snag when I install Photoshop 5.0. Any suggestions?

I went to the Adobe site that you recommended, and followed the steps.
However, when I went into Registry Editor, I was supposed to do these steps: # In the Open box, type regedit. Click OK to open the Registry Editor. # Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\common\settings key in the left-hand pane of Registry Editor. BUT, the registry extended ONLY as far as Adobe Photoshop 5.0/REGISTRATION. (The "Common/settings" key was not listed; nothing but the REGISTRATION option was available.) This leads me to think the problem lies with MS requiring me to register before install can be completed.
