Older photoshop (1996) version 3.0 is not compatible with Windows 7?

VG51 May 31, 2012 10:01 PM

I have an older version of Adobe Photoshop (3.0, 1996) that I have tried to load under Windows 7 and under a "Parallells" WIndows 7 on a MAC OSX 10. Both give me an incompatibility message regarding a 32 bit application and a 64 bit application. I was instructed to

contact Adobe and ask about it, and so I did. This is the third time in this contact I have had to enter the same question, which is frustrating.

Please let me know how I can use the older Photoshop under Windows 7, if this is possible.

Thank you.

I wouldn't waste any more time with it. It won't work. Way too old.

Try Photoshop Elements 10 instead.

It'll definitely work well and will probably do everything you want it to do.

Thank you. I took your advice. I have been shopping on this decision
for about a week. You helped me very much.
