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?
