    I bought photo shop elements 10 a couple of weeks ago and loaded it on to my computer which is Power Mac G5 running on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. When I loaded the software on to the hard drive there seemed to be no problem. The file appeared as adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and included the sun flower icon.

    Point 1:

    When I open the file I have four additional icons (deploy - packages - payloads - Install) the install folder is red and has a no entry motif in white when you click this icon the massage comes up 'You can't open the application "Install" because its not supported on this architecture.

    Point 2:

    When I click on the sun flower icon Photoshop Elements 10 its takes me straight to Photoshop Elements 2 an old version that was transfered when I had to change the computer. If I click on the elements 2 icon it launches for a couple of seconds and an error message then comes on "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a programe error. Photoshop will now exit.

    I would be most grateful for your assistance. Mac user North Yorkshire England

    Photoshop Elements 10 is only compatible with Macs with an Intel processor. Even though you are running OSX 10.5.8 as you have a PowerPC Mac the most recent version of Elements that will work is 6.
