[QUOTE="Dryad, post: 1115971, member: 173595"] I recently had to buy a new Mac as my old one's graphic card bit the dust ($900 fix-it?!) I went with the standard desktop iMac from Best Buy this time (Mac OS X, 10.6.4) I was able to save the info on my old hard drive (they moved it over to an external/portable HD) Here's my deal though... I want to use my old Photoshop Elements 3.0 (bought five years ago) Will my old 3.0 work on this new Mac? I tried installing it (straight from software disk) 6 times last night. It completed installation, gave me the all clear/green check mark, but when I went to start the software up it said that it couldn't start because of 'personal information issues' (or words to that effect). :Confused: How can installation be complete, but it won't work? Any ideas? Should I try dragging it from the external HD instead of installing it from the disk? I hope this is still compatible even though it's an older version. I tried the demo of PE9 and it's so similar it's a waste of money! Plus the demo won't even let me build animated smiles - said it can't open multi layered gif/images. Nice. Hoping for good news. Thx. [/QUOTE]
