    Old Photoshop and Word 2000 on recent Windows 10 crashes


    Hi, grandpa wants to use old Photoshop and Office (Word) 2000.
    I looked into system events log of his PC and there are some crashes of them mainly winword.exe
    It crashes sometimes after few words written.
    I checked RAM, SMART of disk and then made SFC and everything seem OK.
    I know it's unsupported SW but I read elsewhere it could run just fine.
    Are there any good guidelines?
    He has Windows 10 ver. 20H2 (build 19042,1110)
    Thanks in advance

    You'll probably find some guidance by searching the TenForums Office section.
    Microsoft Office and 365 - TenForums

    I think I have seen discussions of running Office 2000 in that section.

    I don't recall anything about Photoshop. Perhaps you could search the forum more generally for that.
    Advanced Search - TenForums
    I'd suggest trying to keep results within bounds by using the Search titles only setting.

    You do mean Photoshop not PhotoDraw? I only ask because PhotoDraw was part of the Office 2000 suite.
    - PhotoDraw was a real pig as its default format was .mix and no other applications were ever any good at converting it to anything useful such as .png
    - I recall temporarily installing it in Windows 7 just to be able to re-save my old .mix files in .jpg.
    - I have not tried it in Windows 10 but there's a discussion with several ideas in PhotoDraw v2 does not install on Windows 10 - MSAForum and some of the posts were made to thank others for what turned out to be successful solutions.
