    Many users report PSE5.0.2 working properly under Windows 7


    If after installing the 5.0.2 update (required) you have problems (most people don't), try running PSE in XP compatibility mode:

    Depending on your version of Windows 7, you may be able to use M$'s "Virtual PC" and Install "XP Mode". This requires Windows 7 Professional, (or better). It cannot be used with Win 7 starter or Win 7 Home Premium. This is a virtual machine solution, and when implemented, you have a full version of Windows XP Pro 32 bit, running in the virtual machine environment.

    Some of the problems that you might encounter while using PSE5 and Win7 are that the e-mail client compatibility issues.

    The version which is officially stated as being compatible with Windows 7 is PSE 8. Earlier versions may install fine on Win 7 but they arent certified because those were in the market before Win7.

    For specific issues, if any with PSE5, may be other users on the forum can add more..
