I bought XP64 (wish i’d gone for the superior COMMODORE 64!!) thinking i’d be a happy PS camper (pronounced puh-SCAMPER, btw)!

Yikes, can a well-intentioned man be dead wrong.

I have been unable to get ANY of CS2 to work on this new system. I now have to use Corel Photopaint (once my preferred ‘gun’) PaintShop Pro and Gimp to do any work at home! NO ONE warned me about the XP64 pitfall: practically NOTHING works, and when you call Adobe (or Shockwave… the list is damn near endless!) they say – "We do not – nor WILL not support your (allegedly ‘superior’) operating system. Please buy a large set of Crayola Crayons and markers." Well, that wasn’t their exact phrasing, but you get the subcontinental drift!

So. BEWARE the ides of XP64!!!

And if anyone knows how i can resurrect my dreams of running PS CS2 on it, please reply!

Well, if you’d actually done some research BEFORE jumping in you’d likely have been told it wasn’t supported.

That said, if do some research NOW, you’ll find plenty of folks are using it successfully. Of course, you chose to rant instead of giving us any facts. "It doesn’t work," is not exactly a detailed explanation of your problem.

🙂 But you’ve got to admit, Bob, it was a refreshingly good humoured rant!

I neglected to mention i am already working my way through the FAQ knowledge base recommendations:

I’m hopeful someone here can feel my pain and help me translate some of that techno-bible (sic){~k} into human-speak!
