8.2.4 update trouble - Windows Vista.  Can anyone help?

I run Windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron E1505.  I allowed an auto-update of 8.2.4 and I'm hosed.
Word will not produce a PDF.  Acrobat acts buggy at every turn.  I am asked to register everytime I open the program (though, in truth, I think this began with the last critical update).
I've seen on another forum where this problem manifested inself in MAC OS, but I can't seem to find where Windows users are having this problem.
Can anyone assist me?
Here the hitch.  I have CS2, which includes Acrobat 7.  I can't recall buying 8, though I don't pirate software (I was a furniture designer for years and respect creative license).  Does anyone know if CS2 upgrades Acrobat to 8?  I have my CS2 package and can work from those discs if I need to completely uninstall Acrobat 8 and start over.  Alternately, I may have purchased 8 as a download.  Is there an objective way of knowing from within the program or on my computer?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

Launch Acrobat and go to 'Help'->'About Acrobat' and check the version number of the installed software. Since you have updated to 8.2.4, i am sure you have acrobat 8 installed.
You can try repairing the installation by again going to Help->Repair, this should solve your problem.
Alternatively, if this does not solve your problem, then you can try reinstalling your Acrobat 8 program.
Hope this helps.

  • I am having trouble downloading flash player on windows vista,can anyone help

    I've tried everything installed, uninstalled, restarted, downloaded,enabled,prompt,changed adminstrator.I need help

    Hi, ok that's good. Since you don't have any Anti-Virus program installed, you need to go ahead and Install the AVG, just
    follow the instructions. Then be sure to Restart your computer.
    Download the Uninstaller for Flash Player here and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for Firefox:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Before you begin:
    Using IE, go to Tools, Internet Options and under the Security Tab make sure it is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
    Disconnect from the Internet, check the system tray and make sure to disable any applications that use Flash. Refer to the Uninstaller instructions.
    You should have an AVG icon in your system tray. Open the user interface & double click on the Resident Shield and UN tick the "option Resident Shield active", and SAVE the changes. Next find the LinkScanner, double click on it and UN tick the "Enable AVG Search-Shield" and the "Enable Active Surf-Shield" SAVE the Changes.
    Don't connect back to the Internet until that step is listed.
    Now Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, when finished, Restart your computer. Then Restart again (to clear old files)
    Now Run the Installer for IE and when finished, Restart your computer Once.
    Then Run the Installer for FF and when finished, Restart your computer Once.
    Now Re-Enable the AVG steps you took to Disable.
    Now you will connect back to the Internet.
    Then go here to the test site:http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    You can check your websites. Post back when you are all finished.
    If you have any questions before or after, just post.
    Thanks,

    why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

    Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
    Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

    Hello Bricky2013,
    The following article has some useful tips that can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    Hello, AndrewR2.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on this issue to provide a better answer.  However, it sounds like your computer may not recognize your iOS devices  I would recommend manually installing the Apple Mobile Device driver as outlined in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Mail Application won't open despite software updates and restarts.  Can anyone help?

    Hi~
    Having major problems with Mail today. Updated all of my software on my Macbook pro and then tried to open Mail which was not responding before the updates.  Now it wont even open despite having all software up to date and having tried restarting the computer over and over. When I go to open it it immediately says not responding when I open the Force Quit window.  Doesn't matter how long I leave it open.  When I try to restart, restart stops as Mail is not responding.  have to force quit and start over.  Can't access my emails.  Anyone have any ideas?  PS - I am not very tech savvy, so if you do have ideas, please be clear in how to execute.  Thanks in advance!

    Had the same problem, I installed the following update and it fixed it for me:
