Adobe Photoshop Version 2.5 Does Not Run in Windows 95

ID: Q134566

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you open a file in Adobe Photoshop version 2.5, you may receive a general protection fault.

CAUSE

Adobe Photoshop tries to access internal, undocumented data structures in the Windows 95 core graphics interface (GDI). Because these structures are internal, they have changed since Windows version 3.1 to support new Windows 95 features, such as increased system limits, better performance, and so on. Adobe Photoshop is unable to parse the new structures properly, and this causes the general protection fault.

RESOLUTION

Contact the program's vendor for the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.
