please help getting old Photoshop CS2 running with Wine

Post by Di742 »

Hello

I am new to Linux and Wine and I need help.
I try to install Photoshop CS2 using Wine 9.0.
The installation seems to work, but when I open Photoshop it gets everything stuck, it stays on top of all other windows, its close button doesn't work, its panels flicker, and it cancels everything I try to do to close it because it constantly take the focus back to itself... :twisted: the only thing I can do to escape is pressing the power button...

I tried on Mint (Ubuntu) and Peppermint (Debian) and got the exact same problem.

Searching I found out that it needs some files and saw old guides telling to use Winetricks. After battling I got to install Winetricks, but it did not help.

Help please. Thanks.
