Is there a setup.exe on the cd-rom? If so, try running that.

There is none.

You have file extensions turned off. Which means you likely have hide system files activated as well.
It's possible that setup.exe is hidden. It's also possible it's in a different directory (say, the AUTOPLAY directory there).

(Just Google 'view hidden files win 10')

Open autoplay/autorun in Notepad to see what file(s) it runs.

Try this: https://adobe-photoshop-free.en.lo4d.com/. If it works, use your original serial number...

Hi

I tried that, it just take me to install all sort of things other than the photoshop. It just go round and round...as I expected.

Now the question is how do I uninstall all the tracking stuffs. I went to the install programs, it's not there.

That worked, I displayed the hidden files, sure enough there is a Setup application file, I installed the Photoshop...my original 6.0 from CD.

Thanks

Looks like I can do the same thing for the Avery program CD also. Big Boss doesn't want new programs, just the ones she's familiar with.

Sure learn a lot monkeying with win 10. I have been using win7, it's a good experience. Thanks for all your help.

Alan
