SirSnap: Have you tried running PS5.5 in compatibility mode? If not right click on the PS 5.5 icon from the drop down menu choose "Troubleshoot compatibility" a program will run saying it is checking for issues. The next screen has 2 options, 1) Try recommended settings 2) Troubleshoot Program. Choose option 1) next click "Test the program" PS 5.5 will attempt to run if it does successfully or not quit PS 5.5 click 'next' and take the option to apply these settings if it was successful or take option 2) try other settings if it was not. Normally the initial settings the program recommends will work. If you need to, you can choose a Windows OS all the way back to Windows XP to achieve compatibility. Hope this helps.

Steve, You've just posted the million dollar question. Is it possible, to add a second OS, on both a PC and a Mac?

I'll be watching here for answers.

It used to be possible for a dual boot system with previous versions of Windows but it was done more for a Windows and Linux environment or even Windows and Mac. Unfortunately, it could make troubleshooting more difficult. Again for Windows you can set up VMWare or Virtual PC in a previous version and then run older versions of apps inside the virtual machine. The virtual machine with older OS is protected from exposure to the Internet.

I'm not sure what the licensing is for either VM Ware or MS' Virtual PC (the name was changed when they started charging).

vm ware is the way to go with a windows computer. That being said it's still a hassle if you're not proficient using a windows enviroment. Try putting a mac operating system on a windows computer aka dual boot! It's hell.

The only fix for windows 10 is to get rid of it. A garbage piece of spy ware.

I agree! Win 10 stinks!

Software updates, to keep in line with OS changes, are not the responsibility of the OS provider, they're the responsibility of the software's provider. Companies like Adobe have ample notification from Apple and Microsoft to their changes and updates in their Operating Systems and they're the ones that need to fix the software if necessary.

Thank you. I was wondering how long it would take for reality to enter this thread.

I'm also suffering from the "Windows 10 Blues." My old laptop with Windows-7 "blew up" and the Edius software on my old hard drive is not recognized by my new computer which came with Windows 10 pre-installed. Unfortunately, I no longer have the installation disc, which came with a Sony video camera I bought years ago. Super bummed...

I do have a suggestion for SirSnapalot: Try right clicking on your Adobe shortcut, then click on "Troubleshoot Compatibility." This should give you the option of running the software on a previous OS. It didn't work for me, but may work for you since you're using the same computer.

I hail from the days of DOS 3.0. I've used every version of Windows through the years. Windows 10 is the best of the lot.

Technology marches forward, on a DAILY basis. Updates to everything are important, especially our applications. If you have an iPhone, have you ever noticed that when Apple updates iOS, ALL of the apps on your phone send updates? It's crucial!

Does anyone still use Adobe photoshop 5.5? It is an old version of photoshop that I've used for years, I'm very adapt at using and have been very satisfied with its operation. Windows 10 have turned it off, says it does not recognize. Have anyone else had this problem and can you recommend a fix?

You were ADEPT at using it.

I can imagine it is hell getting OS X running as a windows VM client - much like building a "hakintosh"

Running Windows on a Mac is a point and click snap though, either as a VM or with dual boot "boot camp", but I gave all that up and eliminated my boot camp partitions and all my VM's some time ago, and now only run OS X.

If the program is a 32 bit that may be the problem.
If you have your programs on W-7.. have you a back up hard drive with the W-7 and programs. If so, the a "hot swap drawer' for about $20 on ebay allows you to swap, and and boot back in history. Then when you want W-10, shut down and swap drives and you have W10. I have two swap bays and one runs my W-10, I can use the other to do my back up of both my C and my Photo drive.

Do an ebay or Amazon search for : 3.5-Inch Internal SATA Trayless Hot Swap Rack

Same here but I just run Windows 10. I had to install VM Ware on my home machine to run the somewhat outdated Juniper Client to remote into my work machine. Being retired, I'm done with that crap. I keep up with updates to my OS and my iPhone because it's more secure. But it is a pain and then you have to update the apps! I guess it's the price of having a somewhat software dependent hobby.

This is worth a try. Right click on the program in your menu or on your desktop. Select properties and click on the compatibility tab. Check the run in compatibility mode and choose windows 7.

What is the actual error Win10 displays?

I still use Photoshop 5 on my old computer, but then, that one still runs on Windows 98!
