Question

Can't use trial - error message: "architechture" won't support program

I have run CS4 photoshop on my Macbook Pro - but now I can't run the trial of either photoshop or dreamweaver - the error says the architecture (of my machine) won't support the program. I'm wondering if anyone knows a work around. I called apple - they say that Adobe just hasn't gotten the trials to work with the newer operating systems of OSX. If that is true it seems like bad business since photoshop is their flagship graphics program and Mac are the graphics computers.

    Ask in the Photoshop Mac forum.

    Are you runing an Intel Mac or a PowerPC mMac many companies are abandoning PPC code and coding directly for Intel Mac's only in Snow leapord it won't even run on a PowerPC Machine.

    Hi

    Thanks for your help.

    I have the brand new version of Macbook Pro with osx 10.5.7 2.66 GHz

    Intel Core 2 Duo,

    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    I think it is that the trial isn't for the most recent OSX.

    Sounds like your correct. As suggested by JJ with proper link, re-ask your question that Forum.
