Hi I am now in Win 7 Pro. I now have CS5 (*had to return the first one because it did not work on the old system).

The problem is I have lots of plugins both free and purchased for PS7 and CS2. Many are not being recognized by CS5! So I installed CS2 as admin, and set as compatable with XP SP2. Everytime I try to try to open it, it freezes on '...checking preferences'.

I thought CS5 was supposed to be backwards compatable with my plugins, I have almost $2,000.00 tied up in higher end plugins that do not offer free upgrades! So I need CS2 to use a lot of these. Has anyone found a solution>? I went to Adobe and found this thread >>> http://forums.adobe.com/message/2704562 this was a solution mentioned, but I have no idea how to do this> "Disable UAC under Windows 7 and you'll be able to install and run Photoshop CS2 just fine.  UAC causes compatibility problems with older software, that's to be expected." and I have also called and spoke to a Level 2 tech. No resolution!

Does someone hear have an answer for me? I am beyond upset over this issue. I do not like Win 7 Pro at all, it deletes files, makes life so darn difficult. But i need to do my work. So could anyone give me some solutions? Thank you in advance.
