    I just got Adobe Premiere Pro...this website, that turned out to be bogus, told me that it required Win98SE, WinME, Win2000, or WinXP....turns out that it only runs on Windows XP...which really pisses me off cuz i was so excited to finally get it...i have Windows 2000 and i was just wondering if there is sum sort of way that i can make the program think i have windows xp and still install...i realize there might be conflicts with that but i really don't want to return it and i just want to use it!!! if anyone knows how...im pretty much down to try anything...

    If it allows you to install the program at all:
    (You didn't exactly say.....)

    Find the program in your program menu > allow the window to open up >
    right click on the program > select properties > select "compatibility" tab>
    and in "compatibility mode", check the box for "run this program
    in compatibility mode for" and in the drop down
    menu select windows 2000 > click on apply and exit.
    Hopefully that will do the trick.

    Which website did you download this from? but guess they got there info wrong.


    Premiere Pro 1.5 will only work with XP http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/systemreqs.html

    As you have Windows 2000, I'm pretty sure ( cannot test as I now longer have a w2k pc to use ) that compatibility mode will not help for setting compatibility for XP as its only backwards compatible for 95/98 and not compatible for newer OSs than W2K..sorry



    What you'll need is Adobe Premiere 6.5, which specs list it to work with W2K, sadly not available from Adobe these days, but you may find a demo on a website or fine the full version still for sale on the likes of Amazon.
