Expert: - 2/17/2009


Question
I bought Adobe Photo Elements 4.0 a few
years ago and have used it on my 3 yr
old Gateway "XP".  

Will it work on "Vista" if I upgrade
my computer to a Vista???  I am pleased
with it on my old computer.

Answer
Hi Lewis,

There are compatibility issues with Elements 4 and Vista, Adobe has issued a patch for Elements 5 but nothing for 4.
If you are happy with XP then stay with it, in fact, this may be the best advice in general as Vista has been plagued with numerous problems, lack of drivers, compatibility with apps etc and the next operating system is now beta testing (Windows 7) and should be available soon.

Hope this helps,
