When I looked at the support pages for Adobe products regarding Elements 5,
it stated that the trial version of Elements 5 does not work on Vista.
A quote from another newsgroups: "I've bailed on Digital Image Suite.
Currently, I've returned to Adobe Elements, a program agonizingly slow
compared to DIS or PSP, but a program I feel reasonably assured will be
around for the next several years."
Admittedly the person could be runningPE5 on an old Apple II+ (well, maybe
that goes back to far).
I did not see the patch you referenced on the Adobe pages, in fact I noticed
that there was no reference to PE5 reunning on Vista at all. It was not
listed as one of the supported operating systems. Seems strange that they
would be so far behind in supporting Vista.
