1. When installing Creative Suite 3, it just hung--task manager said it was running but after a very long time the green progress bar had not moved and the cdrom drive was not spinning at all and no light came on to indicate that it was reading the info on the installation cd. But believe me, CS 3 has problems on lots of computers, it is just that it had this weird hanging problem only on my MCE computer
With CS 2 it did not understand the color profiles used.
I think that it had some trouble with the ACT contact management software a while back.
I stopped using it when I got computers that had regular Windows XP Home and Pro because they were easier to use. But now, I really need the extra power offered by this Toshiba--especially the RAM. It is a Pentium 4 and has 80 GB hard drive so it would be very useful to be able to depend on it for my older software programs. If this is not specific enough, I can return to the forum when I have more specifics. I was just wondering if while I had the time (on vacation from work), I should investigate another OS--either a later version of MCE or something else that has been really tested.
In 2004-2005 most software had not been tested on MCE 2002 and no one seemed to be able to answer any questions about it.
Thanks,
