Hi Tony,

It's safe to deleterious it.! You don't say which OS you're using. If using
OS X on a workstation, then you may want to duplicate the install (Opt-drag
it), do a get info on the application file and then tick the option to open
it in Classic. Install all the Classic compatible plug-ins into this
version. Now you can have both versions of Photoshop running but have access
to your non-OS X compliant plug-ins.

Remember to launch the OS X version first so that you can hot swap between
the two versions. The hot swap tip came from, I'm pretty sure, Bob. OK, so I
can't remember but if you say Bob, Paul or Dave on this list, you have a
good chance of being right. <G> The tip to start the OS X version first is
mine, though.

Another tip: make an alias of the Classic "install" and drop it into the
Apple Menu Items folder and then drop that folder onto the Dock. You can
then launch your Classic version of Photoshop real easy.
