Photoshop 5 worked a couple times in Windows 10

Hi Patricia,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand how it feels when things doesn't work as expected.

Method 1: I suggest you to reinstalling Adobe Photoshop 5 and check if it helps.

Method 2: If the issues persists, try to reinstall Adobe Photoshop in compatibility mode and check if it helps. This might have caused due to any compatibility issues.

Follow these steps for installing Photoshop in compatibility mode.

• Place the applications installation file on the Desktop.

• Right Click the applications installation file and select
  Properties/Compatibility Tab. Select the appropriate options from the list in the following image.

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other assistance with Windows in future. We will be happy to assist you.

Regards,

 

Photoshop Fonts Menu Truncated After Windows Update?

The latest big Windows update (which might be 1803...I'm not sure) has caused a weird issue: The font selection menu in Photoshop (CS, ver. 8) is truncated. The list is arranged alphabetically, for the most part, and it now ENDS abruptly somewhere around
the letter M. I have something like 3,000 fonts installed, so being unable to access two-thirds of them is a BIG problem.

Has anyone else noticed this issue? And are there any suggestions for a fix? Thanks!

Moved from: Windows 10 / Install & upgrade
