Vista - Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 vs Vista 64

I have just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Before I open the box I am questioning if anyone has this running on Vista Home Premium 64? Adobe says it is not compatible with my system.

I am running Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 on my system and have no problem.

I am new to this forum and hope someone can guide me on this issue before I break the seal.

Thanks!!

Most 32bit apps will run on Vista. If you have troubel installing it, you might want to try turning off UAC for the install.

Also, Adobe is famous for it's incompatibilies. I think it has somthing to do with with how its libraries load on your system.

my 2c worth

I have that program installed for a motnh or so already, no problems whatsoever with it

Hope this helps

Thanks to both of you. Okay, I'm going for it and opening the box!

I kind of thought it might work since lements 5 works on my system.

How did you go? Did it work?

So far it is working! I haven't had much time with it yet, but it does have a lot of really neat new toys to play with!! I can hardly wait for a little more time . . .

Thanks for asking.

I have a vested interest also. Just bought a new Dell, primarily to do photoshopping and Premiere (video) on ..... and now Adobe are telling me that the program wouldn't run on this 64 bit system, and that I would have to upgrade to Photoshop CS which I know nothing about!!!

THANKS for YOUR reply....
I thought I might download the trial, and see if it works that way....

Photoshop Elements 7 has plenty of tools to work with. I just finally bit the bullitt and opened the box and installed it. I have an older XP system that I can still use if it really doesn't work with Vista 64. I would really hate to do that, but I don't want to go to the expense of Photoshop CS - whatever the newest version is. Good luck!!

I'm surprised they should say that..., or perhaps not

I have PSE 7 running for a while now, and have not found anything that wont work on Vista x64, actually it seems a bit faster than it was on Vista x32. Very subjective though I have not compared them

I have to say CS4's learning curve is extreme. Not extreme if you are jumping from CS3 to CS4 but if you're going from PSE to CS it's pretty steep. I wouldn't trust what Adobe says. Microsoft's website has a huge list of compatible softwares, I would consult that.
