Hello. I tried to install Photoshop 6 & illustrator in my new OS of windows XP. I could used both for a while but as soon as I upgrade the OS, niether of them stopped working. I can not even open the program. I tried re-installing, but it did not work. At the end, I had to reinstall OS and then, re-installed photoshop & illustrator. It seems like as long as I don’t upgrade the system, the programs run.
Did anyone have the same trouble like me? Can anybody help? Thank you.

don’t install xp over top of any other os. install it clean on an empty drive.

Hello dave & LenHewtt. Thanks for your aadvice. Sorry my problem was not clear. I bought a new computer, which came with windowsXP. First, I had trouble installing programs,such as Photoshop&Illustrator but somehow, oneday, I could install them. they were working fine until I had Windows Service Pack and some other updates of XP. So, to solve the problem, I had o reinstall windows XP(clean out all stuff once and still did not install so did twice) and I could install the programs. If I update the Windows system before I install the programs, they won’t install. I don’t know if this is the program’s problem or Windows problem. I just wonder if anyone had a same trouble like me.
