Photoshop CS2 malfunction Win7 64-bit

Very odd issues as of late with CS2, it's been working fine on this PC
for a couple years. As of this week I can't use the windows file manager
to "drag-n-drop" into PS CS2. I can drop files into other folders, and
other applications. Just CS2 has become flaky, with a disabled
drag-and-drop. When I try I get the circle with diagonal slash. Other
Adobe apps are working fine.

I have deleted the prefs file, I have reinstalled from the original CD.
I have tired system restore. I can open the files using the open file
menu, but that's a bit of a drag.

Not too long ago I had updated my wife's Win7_64bit machine and it broke
Photoshop CS-6

I uninstalled KB2799926 and after a reboot, all was fine.

I then deselected that update to make sure it would not be installed again

I have that update, have not not seen any issues, with CS6. I wonder if
there is another cause of the conflict.

Hard to say, other than that one issue the machine has always worked
flawlessly.

thanks. for the heads up. There is always rollback.
A few weeks ago I had some issues with Bridge not closing properly. I
installed an update from Adobe, although Adobe didn't admit anything.
I did find this link, that helped:

I am sure different people will have different results but in general,
if I have a problem with something I try do undo the most recent changes.

On my wife's previous machine, there were a few updates that broke her
Wacom Tablet drivers...but Wacom (each time) had new drivers which fixed
the problem so I did not have to roll back any Windows updates.

That may have something to do with different versions of the OS being
modified by different OEM vendors.

CS2 must be pretty old. Older versions of lots of programs could have issues
with 64-bit Windows 7. Has it been running under that OS for the whole two
years, or was it a recent upgrade?

As a last resort, you could install a virtual XP machine on your PC and see if
CS2 will run under that. That PC had better have a lot of memory, though.

cs2 is 8 years old and definitely not qualified to run on win7.

that might work, but not a good idea.

Odd it was running fine until recently, I notice a couple other apps
aren't D&D either, that seems to point to some MS Hotfix..
