Loading Reader on different drive

I want to load Adobe reader 8.1.2 on my D: drive because my C: is getting full.
When I download from the site, it doesn't ask which drive I want to put it on. It automatically goes to C: drive.
How can I change this?

If your CS4 is an upgrade from CS3, you should be able to just use the CS3 installation DVD, when asked, and install CS4 from there. You should not have to first install CS3.
If the old HDD can be hooked back up later, you might leave CS3 alone for now, and when things are up and running properly on the new HDD, then Deactivate it from the old drive. There should not be an issue with an Activated copy of CS3 and a new installation of the upgraded CS4. Unless things have changed drastically, I had both CS and CS2 installed and Activated on my two machines, with no issues. When all was good, I just Deactivated both CS installations and removed them.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

    Hello!,
    I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Marcus Bale

    Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

  • I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive.

    I want to install Adobe Reader on a different drive as my C drive is much smaller than my storage drive. 

    Still, you can install the Reader folder on any drive you want using the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Use the Change Destination Folder button at the bottom of the install panel.

  • Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

    why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

    What is your operating system & version?
    If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

  • How to Install Acrobet Reader 9 on Different Drive

    Does someone know how to direct acrobat rader 9 toa different drive when installing? It always defaults to drive C. I want it on drive D. Help!

    There are hundreds (if not thousands) of references to registry files in \Windows\System 32 from within Reader. The registry keys likewise point to a program in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader folder.
    Unless you are capable and willing to go in and rewrite the code for each and every single reference in every last file of the program so that they reference a registry on a separate drive from the program itself, and vice-versa, you will find that it won't work, and if it does it'll keep crashing, and giving you errors all the time.
    There are portable readers which are designed to run without the registry references (like from a Flash drive) but they won't function as well as Reader in every case.
    You might want to try running your disk cleanup, defragmenting your C:\ drive, and running a compression to free up file space.
    Another thing I like to pass along is a"deep cleaning" Disk Cleanup tool
    Disk Cleanup can clear out a lot of old, unused, and junk  files from your hard drive. Things that clutter up the drive, and make  defragmenting take a lot more time than it should. Here's a neat way  to clear up more unused files on your system than Windows™ Disk Cleanup  utility will do on it's own:
    c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
    c:
    cd \
    cd c:\windows\prefetch
    del *.* /q
    Copy the code above and paste it into a  document using Notepad or Wordpad (Do not use  Microsoft™ Word™, or Corel™ WordPerfect™). Save the file as "clean.bat"  (minus the quotes of course), a Windows™ batch file. To do this click,  Save As instead of Save, and choose all files from the File Type drop  down menu. Save it to your desktop.
    Double click the batch file, and it will open a  configuration tool for your Disk Cleanup utility. You will see a lot  more checkboxes in the list than your regular Disk Cleanup shows. Check EVERYTHING. Don't worry, these are all files your system doesn't use.
    Once you have clicked all the checkboxes, click OK and the  window will close. You have now set your Disk Cleanup to thoroughly  clean your Hard Drive.
    Now we need to go back to the batch file. Right  click it, and select Edit. It will open in Notepad or Wordpad, depending  on which one you made it in. When it opens, go to the first line, where  it reads "sageset", and change it to "sagerun" (again, minus the  quotes, of course) and save it. You don't need to choose a destination  or file type. Just save it.
    Now double click the batch file again, and it will run  the Disk Cleanup with your deep cleaning settings.
    Copy the batch file to your documents folder and  any time you need to run it, just double click it. Now here's another  tip that will free up a lot of hard drive space on top of the deep  clean.
    Also:
    If you open the regular Disk Cleanup (Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup), when it opens there is a  More Options tab at the top of the window. Click the tab, and at the  bottom you should see a section referring to System Restore and Shadow  Copies (Vista) or System Restore (XP).
    Click Clean Up to remove the extra restore points  and Shadow Copies of Windows™ that are stored on your hard drive for  system restoration. Don't worry, this will only remove all but the most  recent restore point.
    You should see anywhere from 3.5 to 14 gigs of hard  drive space freed up once you do this.
    One last thing:
    If you have a C:\ and a D:\ drive, the D:\ drive should ideally be used for file storage.
    In other words, all of your pictures, movies, documents, saved e-mails, etc., anything that ISN'T a program... should be on this drive to keep your C:\ drive working better:
    All of these files opening and closing on the C:\ drive will lead to fragmentation of your C:\ drive and that will eventually cause the whole system to slow down, and could kill your hard drive.
    Additionally, you mention that you are low on space on the C:\ drive. That's another bad thing. I've learned over the years that you should never let a working drive (as in one that is running your operating system or even one that holds files you access daily) get below 25% free space. The caching of files as you work on them gets extremely slow if the drive has to jump back and forth between sides of the actual discs to record changes as you make them. This is much less likely when you have 25% or more of the drive free.
    Your documents, pictures, music and movies will open from the D:\ drive where software won't always.  It's easier to move your files to the D:\ drive to make space than to install a second OS and then reinstall all of your software.

  • Final Cut X reading from 2 different drives

    I am currently sitting at my work desk and our workflow is set up that we have all our projects on the scratch disk to work from, and the back up drive updates every night backing up the computer and hard drive. Because of this, FCPX is reading the events from the main drive and the events from the back up. Every time i open final cut the events are on a different drive.  So the first time I saw this i tried to get all the events back onto the main drive, thus duplicating the events.  Then i noticed that all the duplicated events went onto the backup drive and off the projects drive, i restarted FCPX and it reversed again! Mind you, the events and projects are still in tact on the drives in finder but I don't know for certain that I am working from an event on the actual scratch disk or from the backup drive which could create problems. 
    I understand that FCPX has it's own heirarchy within the software and i havent moved any files around within finder only from within fcpx
    these 2 pictures were taken 2 minutes from each other to show what happens.
    I am also getting this prompt every time I start FCPX
    I'm scared to delete any of the events becuase at this point I have worked on diferent projcts and i'm not sure which event those projcts were pulling from. 
    I want to know a couple things
    1.) why is this happening and how do i stop it?
    2.) in the future how do i stop FCPX from reading from the backup drive?
    3.) If I do decide to delete the duplicates and in the event a projct i was working on was pulling from that particular duplicate, will it be easy to re-link the media I used?
    Thanks in advance for the responses. this has become very frustrating.
    Steve

    Thanks so much for this help.  It definitely gave me a starting point and a workaround.  However, I really want to know why FCPX is reading from the backup drive, is there anyway to just tell it to ignore the drive without mounting it?  I could just remount the drive before i leave for the day but thats something that i could forget to do. as in yesterday when i got 20 minutes into my drive home and realized i forgot to reconnect. 
    I know this seems like a "laziness" question but it really does worry me that final cut gets confused as to what projects are on what drives when both are connected.  It wouldn't worry me as much if both drives showed an identical projects list, that would make sense and i would have ignored it from the start.  But the fact that every time i restart final cut the projects are randomly visible or not visible on either drive really makes me worrisome.

  • HP 530 laptop audio loaded reads Could naot find MEDIA device foe driver

    HP 530 laptop audio loaded reads Could naot find MEDIA device foe driver....Help

    Hi,
    Is there sound in Headphones?
    You can refer the link below and check if you have missed any troubleshooting steps..
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    HP Notebook PCs - Resolving No Sound or Audio Problems in Windows 7
    You can also try doing a System Restore to an earlier date when the sound was working..If that fixes the problem then check if there are any windows updates listed..sometimes it may happen due to driver conflicts after updates. In that case you have to hide the conflicting  update.
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • Windows 7 64-bit not loading USB mass storage driver

    I have a rather strange problem with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Everything seems to work fine except for USB mass storage devices.  I have USB keyboard, mouse and even a USB audio (wireless headset) all working fine on the computer.  But
    any USB external drive, thumdrive or USB card reader with flash cards inserted into the USB port of my computer won't work.
    Windows keeps reporting that it is unable to find the driver.  When I go into the Device Manager console and choose to manually update the driver, then point it to the C:\Windows (with search for sub-directories enabled), it detects the USB Mass Storage
    driver but complains that it is unable to load it.  The exact message is this:  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered error while attempting to install it.  USB Mass Storage Device.  The system cannot find the file
    specified.
    This happens to ALL USB Mass storage device, and it doesn't matter which port I plug the device into.
    Here's the weird thing, I have VMware Workstation installed on this computer and if I power on a VM that runs Windows 7 32-bit as the Guest OS and connect the USB storage devices to the guest OS via VMware Workstation, the USB storage devices work!
    So it would appear that the USB ports are functioning properly but for some reasons, my Windows 64-bit is unable to load the driver.
    Any idea how to fix this besides a "nuke it from orbit" and format/reinstall Windows?
    Thanks.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

  • CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

    I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
    I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
    The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
    So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
    I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
    I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.
    ch

    That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things.  Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
    Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse.  And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
    Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files.  This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
    For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
    "@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
    When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using.  The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem.  I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
    And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company.  This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
    Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders.  I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names.  This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
    Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule.  This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view.  It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this. 
    It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
    I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf.  Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

  • Import itunes to a different drive

    My hard drive has a partition: C:\ and D:\ I loaded itunes onto the C drive and it is about full. How can I import CD music into a different Drive? When I put in a new CD it asks if I want to import into my itunes library which is on the C:\ drive. I tried to rip to the D:\ drive but it would only do so to a CD.
    Thanks!

    iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    Set the iTunes music folder location to the D: drive.
    Go to menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.
    This will copy the music from the C: drive to the location you set on the D: drive.
    iTunes will use the D: drive from now on.
    You can then delete the music (My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes music folder).

  • I'm trying to install OEM SR 2.1: Windows 95B in Qemu...  How do I figure out which brand of CD-ROM drive Qemu emulates since I have three different drive specific boot disks...?

    I'm trying to install OEM SR 2.1: Windows 95B in Qemu...  How do I figure out which brand of CD-ROM drive Qemu emulates since I have three different drive specific boot disks...?

    Not exactly...; all MS produced Win9X/ME install CDs are ISO-9660 & maybe even Joliet too...  The really confusing part is that not all Windows 98 SE full install CDs are even bootable in the first place (they tend to only ship one if the PC is capable of booting directly from its optical drive...; the vast majority of PCs have to use the chain loading method due to buggy, poorly written, outdated BIOSes...; etc.).  OEM SR 2.1/Windows 95B is really quite special & innovative for its time in that it was the first Service Release of Windows 95 to support larger HDs via FAT32 which back then was still brand new: i.e.: exciting technology & it still has proven to be quite useful & versatile since most flash memory storage devices come pre-formatted FAT32.
    There's also a hidden X:\Usbsupp folder on the CD that contains the MS USB 1.1 supplement patches/upgrader: a common mis-nomer is that you don't need to install it unless your PC has USB 1.1 ports.  Even without USB 1.1 ports the upgrades to C:\Windows\system make it a lot less buggy, more secure & stable.  For anyone else that enjoys emulating OEM SR 2.1 there's also a great unofficial SP 1 for it which has so many useful patches in it I'm considering integrating it into all of my install CDs... 
    Unfortunately I've found that getting it to run decently requires tracking down a bevy of essential but according to MS's not releasing them in patch form optional DLL upgrades...  I guess not all machines are that unreliable but better to have them...; just in case you encounter a PC with a buggy BIOS that has hardware coniptions and/or ACPI/APM bugs.

  • Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
    Thanks!

  • Can I instal Reader to a drive other than C:?

    Is someone able to tell me how to instal Reader to a drive other than C:?
    I am trying to free up space on C: and prefer to load the Reader files into another drive, but I did not see an option to do that when downloading, and the installer just starts automatically without prompting for a target folder.

    Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click on Change Destination Folder

  • Needs Ability to Configure AutoSave To Different Drive than Scratch

    If you edit a large document with limited memory, and are exercising the Photoshop scratch file, a coincidental auto-save can really slow things down because the drive then begins to thrash.
    It would be great if the AutoSave could be configured to go to a separate drive than that selected for the Scratch file.
    I mentioned this on a recent Connect session, and I'm putting it here as well.  I believe it's something Adobe needs to consider by CS6 release time.
    On a system with a sufficient number of separate drives at the point where scratch file activity picks up this could make a HUGE difference - between Photoshop usability and UNUSABILITY.
    Possible workaround:
    Because Adobe has had the good foresight to use a subfolder, it's possible that the auto-save folder could be redirected to another drive through a file system link.  I'll be checking into whether this helps the throughput, as I'm not sure how much the link itself being on the same drive as the scratch files could be a bottleneck.
    -Noel

    I have an SSD dedicated for use as a scratch drive. So far I haven't noticed a performance hit with background save active, but I've yet to get into really intensive processing with large images.
    Since there are so many different drive and drive bus limitations, it's hard to say that Photoshop would be less bogged down using different drives for scratch and auto save. You may find a dedicated  SSD is a real boon to performance as I have.
