Hi, all.

    Can anyone help me?  I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements from Dell a few weeks after purchasing my laptop.  I'm trying to install it but for some reason or other when I do it keeps opening up Microsoft Excel, which is only a trial version on my computer.  How do I download my software without using Microsoft Excel?  THANKS IN ADVANCE for ANY and ALL HELP...

I ended up going directly to the Adobe page and loaded the trial version.

Then, I converted it to the owner's version using the serial number that

Adobe provided me. After that, it was a breeze...

You're double clicking an .exe file? Not an .xls file?

Since you bought from Dell, I think you need to ask Dell how to download and install from their store

Unfortunately, they want to charge me to tell me HOW to download it.

First I've heard of that.

I've bought software from Dell in the past. You login to your Dell account and download. That's it.
