Is Photoshop Elements 2 compatible with Windows 7 64-bit?

Hello,

I've just ordered a new PC with Windows 7/64bits.

My old Photoshop Elements 2 still works fine with XP and Vista.

What about W7/64 ?

Difficult to get reliable information from Microsoft compatibility website...

Shall I have to buy the last version ?

Thanks for your help.

Z.

    There's a reasonable chance that PSE 2 will work on Windows 7, but you may have to use one of the compatibility modes:

    I need help also. Just got Windows7 on an HP. Downloaded PSE 2.0. It installed okay but when I try to open the program, I get the following error:

    'Could not start Adobe Photoshop because the volume Windows is using for Virtual Memory does not have enough free space, which could lead to stability problems. See Windows Help for information on increasing available Virtual Memory.'

    My brand new PC has 6G of RAM. The tech who helped set up the computer said the amount of VM allocated is WAY more than enough.

    I'm at a loss and need advice. I LOVE version 2 of Elements and would like to keep it.
