I had to re-install the operating system (Windows XP)on my computer. The re-installing of Photoshop 7.0 was successful, according to the message at the end of the process, but when I launch the software it gets most of the way through the loading process but then a message appears that reads "unable to continue because of hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable". No code or any other identifying reference number. Just a "quit" botton.
I’ve run all of the Windows and disk diagnostics that Microsoft and Norton Utilities have (no issues) and also uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop several times.
I still get the error message. As a check, I installed Photoshop on another computer I have just to see if there’s a problem with the disk and that worked fine. It also ran on this computer before I had to re-install Windows XP (that was because of an issue with Norton Utilities).
Any help that anyone can provide would be most appreciated. I’m stuck!!
Thank you.
