I downloaded Photoshop 7 but it isn't a zip file and their is no way to install the dumb thing. How do I install it? THankS1

You don't have to decompress the file. It looks like this: AdobePS7Tryout.exe

Well that sure helped. Clicking on the program only brings up a open with window. So how do I install it? Nothing works. I ain't stupid their is somethign wrong.

Adobe® Photoshop® 7.0.1 Tryout TESTED

Downloaded from:



- Double-click the downloaded AdobePS7Tryout.exe (self-extracting archive)
- The installation process runs correctly
- Program launches, works perfectly

If executable file doesn't launch properly..

1. corrupted downloaded (CRC check failed)

2. downloaded wrong version for your OS.

3. your computer doesn't meet certain specs/criteria to run it.

I too had problems with Photoshop. When I purchased a new computer, it wouldn't reload.

I wasn't about to upgrade and send more money, so I looked around for an alternative. I found an equal product, if not better in The Gimp and what's more it's free software. Everyone that I've told about it has found it to be wonderful with all the feature (that I can see) that Photoshop has. Here's where you can download The Gimp: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

Good luck. I hope it helps.

It's also possible if changed your computer configuration i.e. new computer you will have to re-activate your Photoshop if have full product.

Want to get alternative paint program? try paintshop pro. Quite good.

i too downloaded photoshop 7 from this site.....when i run it, it says the executable is corrupted......please help me!

Corrupt... means file is broken or incomplete upon download.

Try downloading latest version 8 CS that is free trial from the source. Also good idea to use a download manager esp for big files i.e. reget, flashget, netpumper etc
