I just upgraded to XP. I have Photoshop 5.0 and would like to reinstall this software. Is there a download that I need to do this or do I have to buy a new version of Photoshop?

No more downloads of trial versions for PS 5.
If you have the original disk just install it and it will work.

PS 8 is right around the corner you might consider upgrading to it when it comes out, or as soon as Adobe announces it you could upgrade to PS7 and get 8 for free if Adobe sticks to accostumized procedures.

I have Photoshop 4.0.1 on XP with 2 monitors (matrox550 card, 1g ram, 2.6 p4)

My question is I can move the photoshop window and working picture onto screen 2 but none of the pallets. (Painter 5.5 has similar prob) The only advice I can get is that if its a MS DOS prog then it cannot utilise the two screens.

Because PS4 is a Win 95 program and the fact half of it does display over two screens I’m trying to confirm that this is a problem only corrected by an upgrade to XP compatable software?

please tell me there is a patch or something!
Cheers, Ed.

Norbert,

Could you explain in a little more detail.

Thanks, Chris

You missed your window of opportunity… what Chris was saying is that if you buy a recent version of Photoshop, and Adobe announces the release of a new version within 30 days of that purchase, you can get the upgrade for free.
