My computer crashed so now I have PhotoShop5.5 on a new PC, Windows2000.

Using 5.5 on the old PC for years with Windows2000.

My files are named: date/# on camera/description.

Example: 0825041127lightrepair.jpg

PS now opens this one as 081690~1.jpg.

Can anyone help me out as to how to get back to opening my files with the correct name??

As you are probably aware they are being truncated, is this happening to all your files or just the PS ones?
read the kb article at the following link, particularly the part about the registry.

Thanks for the info Mike.

Appears to be only when opening into PS.

I read the kb article at the link, particularly the part about the registry, but I’m unclear if this will apply to my issue, and don’t know much about manipulating the registry.

Thanks,
Battersby.

B,

If it was a W2K issue I would expect to see the truncation in all file views. When strange things happen in PS, there is nothing to be lost in deleting the prefs file.
To do so, restart PS with the alt+ctrl+shift held down. You never know….. Regards

Mike H,

I’m not even sure what you said above, and I’m not even sure I followed your directions.

But, it worked.

Many Thanks,
Battersby.
