MWGemini 0 #1 March 9, 2005 So- I've got the trial of Premiere Pro 1.5, and when I try to install, I am told the my OS is not supported (Windows 2000 Professional) and then setup quits. Is there any way to work around this (I can't and won't install XP, so that is not an option)? Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoter 0 #2 March 9, 2005 Why not just install XP...? dont like it?...cost issue? If you are not happy to use it as your 'usual' OS.....just partition your HD and install XP on the Video editing partition. As far a I am aware you need XP on a PC to run Pro.1.5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #3 March 9, 2005 "As far as I am aware you need XP on a PC to run Pro.1.5" Indeed you do. http://store.adobe.com/products/premiere/systemreqs.html Similar spec requirements for Premiere Elements, I think its something to do with the DVD burning side of things, earlier versions of premiere worked fine with win 95 onwards (depending on your definition of 'fine'). We've come a long way from running Premiere on a PII, 266, with 2x 6.4 gig drives, and a very expensive firewire card.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

MWGemini 0 #4 March 9, 2005 According to their site, XP *IS* required, and I knew this before downloading the trial. I have a hard time believing that, however, and even after numerous searches on Adobe, google, and here, I could not find a solution, so I posted, hoping somebody here had figured it out. I'm perfectly happy modifying registry entries and messing with libraries if it means I don't have to change my OS. I won't change to XP for several reasons, primarily because it is (IMO) slower, less stable, and less secure. Not to mention that it is expensive and I've got more important things to spend my money on (like jumps). I COULD run a dual boot system, or set up one of my other comps with XP, but I don't see a need for that. Avid also requires XP, but ULead's MediaStudio runs on 2000, and they also have a free trial. I'm going to try that and see what I can do with it. Thanks, Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
