Problems with Photoshop 7.0.1 installed on a Windows 7 laptop

I installed PS 7.0.1 on my laptop.  While it can open image files, none of the drop down menues work in addition, I'm unable to move the image windows around. The move tool doesn't work at all.  Any suggestions? Thank you.

    What operating system are you using?

     

    What happens when you try to use the drop down menus?

     

    I have photoshop 7.0.1 running on Windows 10 x64 ver 1909 and seems to work pretty well.

    The key is to have a drive that is no bigger or has 1 TB or less of freespace.

      Jeff, I have the other install on a Win 7 laptop with a 1TB SSD and it works great. The laptop with the problem

      also has a 1TB SSD and Win 7.  I'll likely uninstall/reinstall. Thank you.

      I'd be surprised if it works at all.

      Thank you.  When I do what you suggested to restore preferences, it opens up the Photoshop Properties dialog box shortcuts tab.  Is that what should happen? I went into ImageReady and that seems to be working as expected. Thank you again for any further thoughts.

      Did you close Photoshop before using the keyboard combination, before you open it press and hold Alt+Control+Shift and open it while still holding down the keys

      Photoshop 7 released in 2002?

      You could try resetting Photoshop preferences

      To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop
