Can I install photoshop elements 5.0 for XP on my Dell pc with Vista operating system?

[John Waller]

Do you have the software available on disc?

That version is very old and it is unlikely that you'll find anywhere to download it online.

[Guest]

I have the original cd for the program

[John Waller]

With serial number? Have you tried installing it to see what happens?

[Guest]

Yes, with serial number--just don't want to slow down or mess up my computer by trying to install a version that is not compatible.

[Guest]

No I have not tried to install it yet.

[John Waller]

Give it a go. It's compatible.

[Guest]

I did not see it listed-- would that be on the cd case or where?

[Guest]

As you can tell I am a novice at installing software and just didn't want to mess up my computer, but I will try it.  THanks for your response.

Look under "Older versions".

I guess it's not on your packaging because the software was sold before Vista existed.

I have the original software cd.  I'm just not sure if an XP operating system version will be able to be installed on a computer with Vista operating system which I have now.

[John Waller]

Vista is listed as a compatible operating system for Elements 5.
