Sometimes you may find problems in installing a new application, especially if you buy your computer more than 3 years ago without doing any operating system (OS) upgrades.
I encounter this problem during the process of installing Photoshop CS4 Extended version into my laptop. The software actually was installed well but when I try to open the application, there was this one error message appear saying that my operation system is not compatible with Photoshop CS4 extended and I need to have at least Windows XP SP2 to get this application running. So I uninstall the application with disappointment.
I knew I have Windows XP OS but I actually don't know which SP (service pack) I have. At that time, I don't really know how to check it so I made some study using Windows Help. Now I want to share with you all on how to actually check your computer's OS version.
1. Go to Start Menu and click Control Panel as shown below.
2. Then the Control Panel window will appear. Click on System as highlighted in the picture below.
3. System Properties window will appear. Make sure the General tab is opened and your OS info will be there too as highlighted. Click OK when you finish.
As the picture above stated, my operation system is Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP1 (yeah right, I bought this laptop in 2003). Other information you can get is the manufacturer of your computer, the processor, and also the RAM. You can use these information to upgrade your computer; the OS, processor, or RAM.
