Updating to Win 7 broke our designer's Photoshop CS install at work. So I can quite easily believe that 5.0LE would also stop working because it's as old as the hills. We tried setting it to run in XP compatibility mode - if I remember correctly you can do this by right-clicking on the program file and following your nose (sorry I don't remember the exact details). In our case this solved our problem for a day or two, then it fell over again and we ended up purchasing an upgrade to CS4. This opened a whole new can of licensing hell but that's another story.
