Hold on! There’s at least one person running Elements 2.0 on Panther, and maybe more, but I guess they’re not up yet. I haven’t heard of installation problems, though. Just to clarify – do you not have Classic installed? Or is it on there but Elements thinks it isn’t?
Elements 2.0 runs fine for me on Panther, but I already had it installed in Jaguar and just upgraded Panther.
It shouldn’t need Classic; it runs fine under OS X. When does the installation abort–at the very beginning, or after you go through all the dialogs?
Yep I run PSE in Panther too but like Lou, I just upgraded Panther. No help here I’m afraid. Sorry.

I installed from scratch–no error messages. I would delete any existing adobe preferences files and .plists and try again, because it should work, as long as it is elements 2 and not elements 1.
A different twist. I had PSE v 2.0 already working quite well with Jaguar. I upgraded to Panther and now every time I launch PSE the initial window that always appeared right in the middle of the screen now appears in the top right with only 1/2 the window visible. I drag it over to the middle, click on "connect to camera or scanner" and I get an immediate "crash"! I get a window to select an import source. When I pick one, I get an immediate error message: "The application Photoshop Elements 2.0 has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected. Would you like to submit a bug report to apple?"
I get the same result if I do a "file>import>Epson Scanner Perfection 3200".
So I need help. What’s causing this and how do I get rid of it?
Did you Repair Permissions after your install? Or, I can’t remember, is fsck -y still run in Panther as it is in Jag?
Hi, Beth. Journaling runs fsck automatically, and you can’t use "fsck -y" anymore, but if you really want to run it, you can force the system to do it by "fsck -fy."
I’d reinstall the scanner software, Rick, and see if that clears it up. Are you sure your driver is panther-compatible? Is it a Photoshop plug-in or a standalone?
