Hello

Haven’t managed to find this topic elsewhere, so I’d be very grateful if anyone can help. I had Photoshop 7 on my old laptop running Windows 2000 (256RAM, 40GB Hard Drive) and it worked perfectly.

My new desktop is Windows XP Home, 768 RAM, 80GB Hard Drive, 2ghz Intel Celeron. Actions aren’t working at all.

The Actions palette file is where it should be under Application Data PS7 Settings etc but when I click to do an action, nothing happens. The Actions tab on the workspace looks fine too, but something isn’t connecting somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

To recap, you got a new XP Home machine and installed PS7 on it.

Are you having problems transferring your actions from the W2K machine to the XP Home machine?

If not, re: "Actions are not working at all," does this mean: * When the Actions Palette is visible (press F9), there are no action sets in it? * You can see action sets, but when you open them (click triangle to the left of the action set name) you cannot see individual actions inside?
* You can see the individual actions, but when you click on one (highlight it) and click the Play button, nothing happens?
* or… what?

Thanks for the reply.

Would you believe that since posting my initial question, I tried re-installing PS7 for the FOURTH time and suddenly everything works, including actions!

I swear, I’ll never understand computers…. LOL

Cheers for the reply.
