Anyone know the earliest version of Photoshop that’s compatible with Windows XP? The Adobe tech guy I spoke to "thought" it was version 7. I’d prefer a more definitive answer. I know from personal experience that version 4 WON’T work. Anyone had luck with version 5 or 6?

Here’s thanks in advance…

There are certainly folks who have posted here running 5 and 5.5 under XP

Thanks, Len.
And do you folks using version 5 and 5.5 under Windows XP find that the program works well?

Had it up and on in a second partition for "refreshing" my memory for a class that I will be teaching over the summer. Ran fine! However it felt like I was back in the stone age (Thank god Adobe got rid of the big white type box.)

Didn’t Oscar Wilde say that you could never go home again….felt the same way about going back to 5.5
