Yes I guess Sony did mess me up there. I checked on the net and the dual core Intel T4300 1.6ghz does not support virtualization. Worth checking to find that out before you buy.
I am running Windows 7 64bit ultimate. Photoshop CS2 and other Adobe software in the suite do not boot up but get an error message saying
invalid number so it seems like it did not register the serial number or something but as pointed out by an earlier poster redoing it does not help.
I tried running it in XP Mode one of the big selling points of Windows 7 but you need a chip that will do virtual machine and some don't.
Mine doesn't despite being the latest model Sony Vaio dual core Pentium. So there's a big catch there.
I tried a year or so ago to run my astro software in Vista and almost nothing worked despite all the fixes and suggestions. So my observatory computer runs XP and everything runs and installs effortlessly. Newest and latest isn't necessarily better.
