Activate Photoshop 7.0 in Mac OS 10.5.6...

Re: My Headline: Can it be done?


This is a holdover between Mac systems 9 and 10. I bought Photoshop 3.0 under Mac System 9. Ditto Photoshop 5.5. I have since bought (and used) Photoshop 7.0 (in the Classic environment, Mac System 9, I suppose).


Can I use Photoshop 7.0 in Mac System 10??It seems I should be able to. Photoshop 7.0 appears to have loaded properly into Mac 10.5.6, but when I try to activate Photoshop 7.0, machine informs:?


?''An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit.''


I have deleted the Plug-Ins folder, to no avail.


Can I use Photoshop 7.0 in Mac System 10.5.6??


Must I install a ''Classic Environment'' to be able to use 7.0 in 10.5.6?

Activate Photoshop 7.0 in Mac OS 10.5.6...

You cannot run Photoshop 7.x on any version of Leopard (10.5.x), period.

Photoshop 7.x runs fine in earlier versions of OS X, up to Tiger 10.4.11.

Leopard, 10.5.x, does NOT support Classic at all.?You cannot install a ''Classic environment'' in 10.5.x.

The current version of Leopard is 10.5.7.?You cannot use Photoshop 7 at all.?You can't even install it because the installer will not run in 10.5.x, you must have either cloned it, migrated it or installed it in an earlier version of OS, not 10.5.x.

If you want to run 7.x, you would have to revert to Tiger, 10.4.11.

Unfortunately, as soon as CS4 was released, Photoshop 7 ceased to be eligible for any upgrade.

BTW this is all covered in the FAQs
