Hi
Because I can't install Photoshop CS3 in Windows 10 without removing it from my Windows 8 install, I decided to install Photoshop 6 in Windows 10.
All of these programs are upgrades from my original version of Photoshop 2.5.
When I put the install disk in one of my CD, DVD drives my computer couldn't read it.
I switched to the other drive and it still couldn't read it.
It would just sit there and a green progress bar would move across the top of the page but that's it.
Finally I shut my computer down and opened Windows 8.
It read the disk fine and I made a copy of it.
I also copied the Photoshop install files to my hard drive.
When I got back into Windows 10 it would still not read the disk, and it saw the copy as a blank disk.
It kept asking me what I wanted to do with it.
I installed Photoshop from the files I had copied to my hard drive, and when I wanted authentication, it read my Photoshop 4 disk without issue.
I have no idea why Windows 10 won't read my original Photoshop 6 Install disk, or why it sees the copy as a blank disk.
Anyone have any ideas?
Mike
