Adobe Photoshop Elements doesn't see XP video components

[Guest]

I have a Dell Dimension 4600 Series computer, bought late in 2003. It has an
Intel Pentium 4 Processor - 2.66GHz and a 128MB DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200
graphics card. My OS is XP Professional.

I recently tried to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and got an error
message saying that I "must have at least VGA" in order to continue the
installation. I had installed the application originally on my work machine,
but removed it as I decided I should only be using it at home. (Don't know if
this has anything to do with it or not.)

I have Googled for information and found nothing useful, and found no
reference to Photoshop when I did a search of posts on this newsgroup. If I
am posting to the wrong newsgroup I would appreciate your directing me to the
correct spot.

Otherwise, any advice you can offer as to why PS Elements isn't seeing my
home machine's video card would be appreciated.

Thanks!

A google search for "Photoshop Elements 5 installation problems, VGA"
answered your question.

It is always best to go directly to the software maker's site to find
problems with installation. Good luck, Joan

Thanks Joan! I thought I had done that, but I put "video" rather than "VGA."
DUH!
