OK - I just went thru some older ProFox "Archives" as they exist from
within my Inbox on my PC here.
I saw mention of an XP Mode. Maybe that may help me - but, I suspect not
- since obviously - after thinking about what I wrote below and that
32-Bit process running. Obviously the issue is running a 32-Bit App on
my 64-Bit OS - since I have the 64-bit version of Win7 running. Yeah - I
forgot to mention that. I run that - since I use fancy 3D SW - and
wanted to get as much power as possible out of this machine.
However, I thought 32-Bit apps could normally be installed on a 64-Bit
OS - even though it just means the Apps are not Optimized to run on the
64-Bit OS...

Hey folks,
I know this kinda of topic has been discussed before - re:16-bit apps
running under a 32-bit OS. But, I normally figured the problem happens
w/REALLY Old SW - like FoxPro for Win Apps attempting to run under
like Win7 or Win8. But, in my case - its Photoshop Elements.
Essentially a "cut-down" version of Photoshop. I have the Older
version of the program - been running it for a number of years on
different systems of mine. Its running fine on my laptop under Vista. '
So - i tried installing it on my newest Desktop - running Win7.
Previously when I tried it - I got some error message window during
the install. But, NOW - I just tried installing it again - to get more
feedback - and NOTHING Comes up after the Win UAC window is displayed
and I hit YES. Its just like nothing happens!
Although - when I go into Processes in Task Manager - I now see SEVEN
Instances of a 32-Bit Setup Launcher running - confirming I attempted
SEVEN Times to install it (the last 2 times - I did it just to see
where a process would show up - since there was Another process that
had 4 occurrences - but, it did NOT Gen another occurrence upon trying
to run the Setup again - and that's when i found this Other 32-Bit
process).
What can I do? Do I need to run some kinda VMWare - and then I can
Install & Run this older PS App? Or - any work-around to get it to
install normally under Win7 - and then just USE this App under Win7?
TIA,
Kurt
