Yes
I've had it installed on my (now dead) Windows XP Laptop but whilst it installed on my newer Windows 8 laptop I am having too many problems which makes me think they are not compatible. The main problem is it just will not open many of my files - not RAW but Jpegs :thinking:
 
I have it working on Win 8.1 Preview. Seems Ok but I haven't given it a really good try out of the many functions. When I have some time I'll put some more images through it and let you know.

Thanks for that Colin it would be appreciated :thumbs:
 
First of all thanks guys for your help :clap:

I've uninstalled, then reinstalled, & it now DOES open all my Jpegs BUT I do like to 'open as a RAW file' but box appears saying "can't open due to program error". So if anyone with Win8 & CS2 can try it for me to see if it works on their set up I would be grateful.

I've tried the compatibility mode without success :shake:
 
Have you installed the latest version of Camera Raw that supports CS2 as well:

I'm assuming the raw files you are trying to open opened OK on the XP installation?

For raw files from cameras released in the last 5 or 6 years you will have to convert to the DNG format before you can access camera raw in this version of Photoshop.

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I can confirm that in my version of Win 8.1 Preview with PS CS2 I can open Jpeg files, either as they are or using the Open As > Camera Raw.

Also tried a number of adjustments and filters and tried the sliders in the ACR dialog - all OK.

Mine is still playing up but I use Lightroom for my RAWs and CS2 for detailed stuff as well as PE10.
