Conflict between Reader 9 and (Old!) Acrobat 6.0.6 Standard?

I have an old XP SP3 computer that came with Acrobat 6 Standard, which I want to keep for printing documents to PDF.  (I'm not willing to purchase a new version of Acrobat for this old machine.)  It no longer works, however, as an add-on to Internet Explorer 8, at least not with my latest security software, and it's probably not secure online anyhow.  Therefore I want to install the latest version of Acrobat Reader on the same machine.  I tried this with Adobe Reader 9, but it appeared to damage some part of Acrobat 6, resulting in error messages whenever I started the latter; so I uninstalled Reader 9 and re-installed/updated Acrobat 6, which is now working again,  Question:
Is there a way to install some reasonably current (and secure) version of Acrobat Reader without harming my installation of Acrobat 6?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- JClarkW

OK, here's where I am now.  Where did I go wrong?
Before installing Reader:
     In Acrobat 6.0.6, turned off all Internet, Web, and Update preferences.
     In Internet Explorer 8, disabled all four Adobe add-ons (Adobe PDF, AcroIEToolbarHelper Class, another Adobe PDF, and AcroIEHlprObjClass, all dated from 2003).
     In MSConfig, found no startup objects to uncheck except AcroTray.exe, which I left alone as instructed.
Installed Adobe Reader 8.2.0 (which is apparently still supported) and allowed it to update to the current version, 8.2.5:
     Only prefernence change in reader was to use only certified plug-ins.  In particular, "Display PDF in browser" is still checked.
     Made sure that Reader 8 was the default program for PDFs, and indeed, Reader 8 opens whenever I double-click a PDF.
     In Internet Explorer 8, re-enabled the four Adobe add-ons listed above.  NOTE that they all still have the 2003 date!
Results:
     Acrobat 6 still works fine this time around, in that I can start it without errors, open PDF files in it, and print to it successfully from, say, MSWord.  Threfore, I did not go back and re-check MSConfig.
     In Internet Explorer 8, however, double-clicking a link to a PDF does NOT open the PDF in the browser (or elsewhere).  Instead it offers me the usual Microsoft options of Run or Save.  Choosing Run opens Reader 8 in a new window.  Evidently the browser add-on is not working properly.  Although this is workable, it is not ideal.
Any ideas how to update the browser add-ons to work as they should? -- JClarkW

    what is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?What are the procedure to download a Acrobat reader?

    Good day,
    Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files.  Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader.  You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'.  Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
    You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • [JS CS3] Conflict between palettes and panels

    Hello,
    I am having a conflict between panels and palettes. Hopefully I can get some direction without having to copy the code here, because it is very long.
    I have a window of the palette type. This palette has buttons and radio buttons. The buttons call up various functions.
    The radio buttons, however, make visible/invisible a series of panels in the palette. The panels are stacked upon each other, only one of which is visible at any one time, depending upon which radio button is selected.
    One of the buttons in the palette calls up another palette (which also has a series of buttons for various functions). Let's call it the little palette. The problem is, that after the little palette is called up, the radio buttons in the big palette no longer work. I can select them but they will not make visible/invisible any of the stacked panels. The buttons in the visible panel work as well as all the other buttons that are always visible. The only thing that does not work are the radio buttons.
    My only workaround is to just dismiss the palette and call it up again. But I'd rather fix this bug.
    Any ideas? If I need to I can strip down the coding leaving only the essentials, but rather not take the time if this is a problem others have run into and hopefully have a solution for.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks.  I'll give it a try, but I even uninstalled both programs, tried
    reinstalling Reader only, and when that didn't work, uninstalled Reader and
    then reinstalled Acrobat.  Still a problem.  The particular website is
    www.officeally.com, and it opens the PDF file in a browser window, I believe
    using an ASP file.

  • Name space conflict between static and instance method

    Hello,
    there seems to be a very unfortunate name space conflict between static and instance method name. Consider:
    static String description() that should return a description of a class.
    String description() that should return a description of an instance.
    That seems to confuse the compiler. How come? Static and instance methods don't have anything to get confused about.
    Thanks for any insights :-)

    Umm...jeez.
    It's not a bug, it's the way it's supposed to be.
    Since a static method can be called the same way an instance method
    A instance = new A();
    A.staticMethod();
    instance.staticMethod();it's not allowed.
    Also in the class, you can call
    public void myMethod() {
          instanceMethodInClass();        // You don't need this, it's superfluous
          staticMethodInClass();          // You don't need the class name.
    }If you didn't understand, then just accept the fact that it is so. Some day you'll understand it.

  • Software conflict between iPhoto and Sony MP3 player

    I am experiencing a major software conflict between iPhoto and my Sony MP3 player (model: NWZ-E443). In the past, whenever I connect the MP3 to my 2009 MacBook Pro, iPhoto always opened. I would simply close iPhoto and everything would be OK, though. But after upgrading iPhoto a few months ago via an upgrade download I am now unable to view images full-screen. Although thumbnails display OK, when I double-click on any of them to display full-screen, the MP3's 'Do Not Disconnect' image displays full-screen instead, even when the MP3 is not connected.
    I have tried reinstalling iPhoto from the original iLife disc, but this didn't work and my fear is that the Sony software has somehow corrupted every image single file in my library.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • Conflict between VPN and Airport disk

    Hello Folks, I just bought a brand new airport extreme 802n.
    I thought it would be working fine with my Macbook pro, but it doesn't.
    I can't access any externe hard disk or USB Stick through the airport extreme, although the format is FAT32. I checked and checked but found nothing useful. All the settings are default.
    Worth to mention, I always use a cisco VPN client to get connected to the Internet (university student).
    There are few times when I disconnected the VPN Client, the USB Client can be found and read, but not be written.
    I though it is a conflict between VPN and Airport disk. So I tried without VPN, but the USB stick and the extern hard disk still didn't work properly. I have no idea what is happening could somebody help?
    By the way is it possible to set Airport extreme as a VPN router so I don't have to use the cisco VPN client anyway?
    Any reply is appreciated
    Thank you !

    I have an Airport Extreme connected to a cable modem
    with comcast as my isp. The Extreme is connected to
    a G4 dual processor mac via ethernet. I also have 3
    airport expresses around the house to work as range
    extenders. When I had the G4 connect to the Extreme
    via its internal airport card, I had no difficulty
    connecting to any of the Expresses around the house
    with my g4 powerbook. Now that I have the G4 Dual
    directly connected by ethernet to get the fastest
    speed, I cannot get my expresses or my laptop to
    connect through my laptop to the base station. all
    lights are green on the expresses, but running
    network diagnostics on the powerbook shows red or
    yellow for the last two buttons on the right. Do I
    have a configuration problem or an Extreme that won't
    bridge properly?
    Check that the G4 Dual has a location configured with
    only "Built-In Ethernet" activated, and that its
    Ethernet connection isn't shared on AirPort.
    Turn off all your AX and check that your
    PB G4 is able to connect to "your" AirPort network.
    Take advantage of this silence of all your AX
    to run an analysis of your wireless environnement:
    - check that you don't have any neighbor wireless
    network,
    - check that on each of your AX settlement you have a
    very good reception of "your" AirPort network.
    If everything works fine to that point, add one AX to
    your network, and check the reachability of your network
    where you wanted to extend it.

  • Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI.  Sample rate 42804 recognized.  Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

    Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI.  Sample rate 42804 recognized.  Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
    (Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
    Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
    When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
    There's also a sound of static.
    The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

    Hello,
    open your Audio MIDI Setup utility and set the input to 44100

  • Why is my SSD showing 250mb/s difference between read and write...

    So i have recently upgraded to a SSD in my 2011 MBP. 2.4Ghz i5 16Gb RAM. I swapped my HDD with a Samsung 840 Series 250Gb SSD, I noticed a huge speed bump. See attached photos. Read is clocked at 503MB/s peak, and Write is clocked at 260MB/s peak on the SSD. My Question is why is there a 250MB/s difference between read and write?? Using Black Magic Disk Speed test. Mac OS X 10.8.4 Beta.
    Thanks

    Writes are performed very differently on SSD than they do on a hard drive, and it is common for SSDs to have lower write speeds than reads.
    It's actually quite interesting if you're a geek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification
    As long as the speeds do match your manufacturer specification for the model (and they do: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7TD250BW ) , there is nothing to be concerned about.

  • Is there a conflict between Reader XI and Acrobat being used on the same computer?

    I downloaded the new Abode Reader XI. The computer in question has, also, Adobe Acrobat 7. Is there a conflict between them if used on the same computer? I can not open any PDFs and now the saved PDFs I had on the computer will not open and the icon shown on the desktop is gone. Please advise as I scan documents to this computer all the time and the person who needs to see them can not.

    I have Acrobat 8.1.6 and Reader XI on Win XP. Do these conflict? Should I get rid of the newer Reader?
    I'm having problems printing to the PDF print driver, locks up system, shows printer offline in spooler. I doubt problem is with driver itself because I can print a Test Page from it ok. But printing to Adobe PDF from Word & other apps locks up & never completes.
    There's an Exclamation Point next to Acrotray in Explorer. (see image)  What does this mean??
    Have tried Repair install of Acrobat twice.

  • What is the relationship between Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Reader, and the Acrobat Reader Plugin for Firefox?

    Mozilla's plugin scanner identifies an old version of the Reader plugin on my machine. The download indicates a massive 55 MB size, and implies that Reader itself will be installed on my machine. HOWEVER, I don't want Reader installed! I use Acrobat Pro and I have noticed some problematic interactions over the years.

  • How Do I Set Reader 9 to be the Default Reader Over Old Acrobat?

    Since a crash from an unrecoverable virus, I formatted my HDD and loaded Office, etc. I downloaded Reader 9 and installed it, then reloaded my old Acrobat 6. When I try to launch a pdf file from the net, I get the statement, "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." When I click OK, Acrobat launches, but doesn't open the file.
    I then got the report that my Acrobat could be config'd to read files in a browser, and clicked OK to do it. However, the process began, then the blank Acrobat sat for a very long time, and while I assumed it would report that it had been done successfully, it never happened, so I carried on assuming it was done. Now it just opens, but doesn't say that it can be config'd.
    Even though the notice refers to the Acrobat/Reader that is running, neither are running. I've checked startup, and it doesn't show either one to be launched at startup. Task Manager doesn't show any Adobe running except when they are launched.
    I have Reader 9 installed? I never had the problem before with whatever old version of Reader that I had (7?)
    Tried everything I can think of and looked at every option trying to find a config that makes either one the default reader so I can disable acrobat and enable reader.
    Any ideas other than uninstalling both, then reloading my old Acrobat that serves me just fine, followed by Reader 7.1 that worked just fine would be appreciated. (my fear is that soemthing from reader 9 will be left behind, and 7 won't work)
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Hi Mike:
    Thanks for your response. However, it doesn't work.
    On reflection, I had kept the old adobe reader software in archive and loaded it, not reader 9. Then installed acrobat 6. Both worked fine in all applications that I used, as it did previously. I can't tell you which application would view the files, but do recall that it would open the file in a separate window from the browser (fine with me). Neither application has stated it couldn't run along with the other program when loading...?
    My firewall kept alerting me to adobe wanting to update to 9, but I denied it all the time until I inadvertently clicked on OK. It was after that, that all the problems began.
    This is so typical of doing upgrades, and I've always refused them unless functions failed. For the most part, a bunch of extraneous crap and the need to download a lot of utils happens with upgrades - with little value for me in the "wonderful new functions" added (and I'm absolutely certain the download includes new ways to snoop in one's system).
    I'll cite Netscape as an example. I used it for a very long time, and it "just simply worked" for all functions. I upgraded to ver 5, and suddenly, I had to download this player, and that whatever, and still had issues (so did my friends). Of course that was dealt with patches that were called further updates. Then came new versions with the need for more util downloads, or upgrades to them.
    I had also archived version 4.7 that "just simply worked", so I cleaned all old versions out and reinstalled it. Again, it just simply worked! I used it just fine up to version 7 coming out when I went over to Outlook/Explorer. I burned the s'ware onto a CD and it went around to a bunch of friends who "went back" to the good ol' reliable as well.
    I do recall having to upgrade DirectX and Windoze Media Player, but after that, it worked fine. If I clicked on a video file, it ran, no need to download another player, images opened in whatever I had - didn't need to download Quicktime or ? to view a jpeg as was the case with the newer versions, etc. It just worked!
    New versions were just more crap added to make money for Netscape (and annoy the user) ie: to view a jpeg, one would have to download a utility like quicktime and netscape would get a nickel(?) for every download done through it.
    I'm a firm believer in "good ol'" as opposed to new and improved - whether in software or hard goods/products. New and improved most often = lower cost, cheaper components, bigger profits for the maker, and disappointment for the user. In the case of software: sent to market full of glitches/problems that the user will likely have to find out and possibly even resolve for the maker who will then write patches on top of patches until it becomes stable - usually in time for the next flawed version to appear.
    I absolutely hate having to waste time and go through this kind of frustration when something worked perfectly fine, but guess I'll have to go through it and load up the old reliable versions that will function as before. Will have to do permanent denials in the firewall for things I don't want upgraded in the future so I don't screw up.
    Again, thanks for the response (and sorry for the venting)
    Cheers,
    Bill

  • Conflict between audigy and Olympus voice recor

    I have an audigy se recently installed. Seemed to be working fine until I opened my Olympus voice recorder program. Just opening the program knocked out the sound card and I could not get it back again. No speakers in any application on the computer except the diagnostic test. Then the speakers would play. But no cd's, no wav files, no nothing. Tried checking and unchecking all the boxes. There really aren't that many. Only way to solve the problem was to uninstall and reinstall audigy and not go to Olympus anymore. I've done that several times to confirm that is the problem.
    Any suggestions?

According to Symantec the problem is caused by conflict between the two soft wares. The Creative page does not mention this at all and the work around on the Symantec site either does not work or entails time wasting closing of programs and re-boots. It is really getting to me now and I wonder if any one knows of a permanent fix?

    Some past post here mention of this too.....and the mods suggestion does indeed helped some of them resolve it. Perhaps you can try it. What you need to do is uninstall all Norton and Creative software. When you're done with that, install Creative software first follow by Norton stuff.

  • I cannot see certain colors/photos/boxes in Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.  Can in Reader, and in Acrobat Standard 11

    I have a customer who uses Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.  When she receives PDFs, she cannot see the color green, certain boxes(most of the ones she cannot see all have green in them),and pictures.  When I opened this same PDF document in Adobe Reader 11, Adobe Acrobat Standard 11, and Fox it reader, I could see everything as normal.  Her version of Acrobat is up to date.  I posted this Acrobat installations & Update Issues, not sure if correct or not.  She has Windows 7 Professional 64x
    Thank you.

    Hey mmartinez,
    Please let me know what is the OS version on the system being used by your customer?
    Have you tried sending any other PDF files to her? Has she started facing this issue after updating Acrobat?
    Hope to get your response.

  • Metadata Conflicts between LR4 and CS6

    I recently upgraded to LR4 and CS6 Extended.  I will offer start in LR4 but switch to CS6 for additional editing.  On some of my thumbnails, I will see a "!" in the upper right hand corner on the thumbnails.  When I click on the icon, a pop-up window appear stating a Metadata conflict has occurred.  The pop-up window gives you two options: Copy file data into the catalog or have the catalog overwrite the file data.  What is the best thing to do knowing you are only working between LR4 and CS6?

  • Is there a conflict between Firefox and Carbomite?

    I have been having problems with unresponsive script errors in Firefox, in both normal and Safe modes. I got the idea that one of my background programs could be causing the problem, so I disabled all of them and then enabled them individually. Enabling Zone Alarm did not cause a problem, so I enabled Carbonite. Sure enough, the unresponsive scripts returned, in both normal and Safe modes. Is there a known issue between Firefox and Carbonite that causes unresponsive scripts and, if so, what can I do about it short of disabling Carbonite? Thanks for any help!
