Subject: RE: Photoshop 6

Thank you. I went to the MS website and I see that they are to cease support for XP SP2 on the 13 July this year and advise using SP3. So I will not be uninstalling.

 

On Monday I will ring MS (UK) to see what they say.

 

I think it because SETUP.exe is a Win 16 application as the other win 16 applications will not run either. These are applications designed to run with Win 16 OS like Windows 3. My Corel draw version 3 won?t load either.  

 

 

Ah sorry, I mistook 'load' for run rather than install.  The fix for this is annoyingly complicated - could I suggest that if you have an older operating system such as NT or win98SE you would probably be happier installing one of those under XP using Vrtual PC, a freeware Microsoft product which can be found here:

 

though the current version seems only applicable for Win7:

an older version is here for a variety of OS's (check which is applicable):

other older versions have been archived here:

a non-MS free virtual machine for windows and apple can be found here:

hope this helps a bit!
