February 11, 200323 yr I Have a very strange problem with XP pro SP1 and a 2gig Celeron. I can not run Photoshop 7 without getting runtime C++ errors. I've reinstalled DirectX 8.1, Tried several different video cards and Drivers. I even installed a new hard drive with only Windows XP Pro SP1 and Photoshop 7. Nothing works. I can run 3D programs such as Poser 5, Vue D"Esprit 4, and Bryce with no problems including rendering. But I can't get Photoshop to work. I have the same copy of Photoshop running on three other computers with no problem. It also ran on this Computer until I went from a 1gig Celeron to a P4 2gig Celeron. Both chips are on ECS motherboards with VIA chipsets. The Change over was really no problem except for Photoshop. Anyone have any idea's? I had no luck even with a new hard drive and a clean install. It really seems like it would have to be a hardware issue, but everything else works fine so I'm hoping there's a software solution.
February 11, 200323 yr Author Can't really imagine what difference that could make, like I said it's been installed from the same CD on three other computers and works fine. And of course the 7.01 update was downloaded and installed on the other computers as well.
February 11, 200323 yr It made a big difference to me...I downloaded it off the net and after I installed it on another computer, it stopped working...
