My Windows XP laptop quit.  New laptop is Windows 7 64 bit machine.  When I install Photoshop CD and select Install Photoshop 5, nothing happens.  I found this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5162

but I cannot open it.  The instructions with it say to copy into Files (x86\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop, but since I cannot get Photoshop 5 to load, there is no Adobe Photoshop files in x86\Adobe, only Adobe Reader.  Help!  I have lots of files I use Photoshop 5 to edit and now no way to edit them.

    Hello, thanks for fast reply.  However, I don't know how to install using compatibility mode means?  Also, I cannot even get the PS5 to start to load, I all get is the opening install screen which asks which of the Adobe products to install, then I click on Install PS5 and nothing happens.  Where would I find out about "compatiblity mode" installations?

    Here are the 2 screen shots, the CD and install screen


    a. enable file extensions to be visible:

    To show file name extensions in Windows Explorer, follow these steps:

    For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008

    1. Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
    2. Click Organize.
    3. Click Folder and search options.
    4. Click the View tab.
    5. Scroll down until you notice Hide extensions for known file types, un-check this line by clicking the check box.
      Note To hide file name extensions, check this line.
    6. Click OK

    b. open the photoshop directory/folder and attach a screenshot of its contents.

    c. open autorun (setup info) in notepad and copy and paste its contents here.

    d. open readme.wri in wordpad and see if it contains anything useful.
