Acrobat 8.1.4 Standard and user accounts in Windows XP Pro SP3

Does anyone have a workaround or solution which allows Power users and non-admin account users to be able to create pdf's? For a while I was using the regedit workaround (regedit>local machine>software>Adobe>Distiller>8.0>and then for Printer Job Control and PDFMaker) granting authenticated users control. And it was working....now, non of the non-admin accounts are able to create a pdf from within the Acrobat application, by using the plug-ins for Office not even by going through printers and using print to file. I have tried repairing the application and still no dice.
Anyone got a small miracle up their sleeve? Thanks for anyone and everyone's help in advance.

Well, well, well, right before somenone could answer me. I found the answer just here in the forum. I really love it!!!
  Seems to be a incompatibility with the file created on Folder Lock installation: "windrvnt.sys." In this case, it is just uninstall Folder Lock and tah dah! Everything works perfectly.
  Here comes my request: Hey, developers you all could give a try in resolve this issue, huh? At least give a try...It'll be very nice have the two programs properly installed in anybody's (who wants it) system.
  Thanks, anyway for this space to research, change some infos even undirectly. If it was not this forum and all the debate in here maybe I'll be in the dark search for the resolution of it.
  Thanks.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw doesn't print under user account. Windows 7 Pro x86

    Dear Sirs,
    We found a bug using HP CLJ Pro MFP M177fw on windows 7 pro 32-bit edition.
    In our company we use custom folder to keep temporary files of all user accounts. It is C:\temp. So in the environment variables window we have user variables TEMP and TMP with the C:\temp path. System variables TEMP/TMP are the same.
    After installing MFP's driver, under accounts with administrator rights we can print normally. But when we use account with user rights print doesn't work. Trying to print windows test page, we receive error message "Test page failed to print" and spooler state is clean. When we change user variables TEMP/TMP on default %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp,  we can print testpage successfully.
    With older model HP CLJ Pro MFP M175 we have no trouble at our customized operating systems.
    Can we hope on fixing print driver with regard to this problem?

  • Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

    OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts?   I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

    Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
    My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
    Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
    Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
    Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
    Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
    Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

  • Checking Computer AND User Account against AD without TLS

    Hi Folks,
    i am working on a customer site with 5500/ACS5.2/AD/WZC. The Customer looks for a good Authentication Scenario but decides against TLS. So we tested PEAP with checking the AD for a valid Computer Account and User Auth. But, if i use a Laptop with no Domain Computer Account but a valid User Account, i  can gain Access. Is it possible that the ACS can check for a valid Computer AND User Account and successes the Client only if both Accounts are available and valid?
    Regards, Michael

    Hi Nicolas, thx for this Hint. I did  today the Host Lookup and "was machin auth" thing, but anyway, my own Laptop
    that is not in the Domain can connect with a Domain User ID to the Network. Any Hint or Trick? I saw on other Discussions you referred to that some Users did an AD Rejoin, what do you think?
    Regards, Michael

  • Check for Updates and User Account Control

    With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
    When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
    Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
    Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities.  Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks.  So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
    Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
    Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

    With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating.  There is nothing for me to click.  Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
    With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.'  In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader.  The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
    Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray.  And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature.  The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
    In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled.  And this represents a security dilemma for us.

  • Can I install iTunes in separate user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit?

    Hi,
    My wife and I use different user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit. Before I go and mess things up on my computer, I wanted ask some questions:
    1) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    2) If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    I'm thinking with iTunes very tight integration with the music files (for indexing/searching, etc), that it would be bad to have add/change/delete on the same music root from 2 independent installations.
    Experience OR opinions welcome!

    ) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    You don't install the iTunes application more than once. Each user account in Windows will have its own iTunes library.
    If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    Many people have done so. This should help:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Note that iTunes has no folder-watching capability, so if you add a track in one user account, the other user will have to add that new item manually, either by using the Add To Library command or dragging the item into the iTunes window. There are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:

  • I deleted two user accounts from my MacBook Pro to create a third user account to consolidate all my duplicate files.  Now my Mac won't download from ITunes, nor re-load music from one of my deleted accounts.

    I combined two user accounts on my MacBook Pro into a new, third, user account.  The biggest account in terms of my I Tunes library, past purchases, etc., was preserved.  The smaller deleted acount with about 40 I Tunes purchases needed to be "reloaded" into my "machine".
    I went through the procress several times, meaning, "go to purchased", items not on this machine, etc, only to receive the same message of not having permission to download.
    As well, I can't download new items form the ITuunes store.
    Solutions anyone?

    My computer is the same I've had for a year now.  I didn't have a problem until I closed the two user accounts and consolidated into an admin account.
    In my ITunes account it says I have "two computers authorized to play content".  There's a "delete these authorized computers" function.  I'm not hitting that button until I have to.
    The help desk says to delete my downloads folder in ITunes and then re-download my previous purchases (I can't find a downloads file to delete) .or reload from Cloud.  I don't have cloud on my Mac.
    ARGH!!!!

  • Hide User Accounts on Windows 7 Logon

    Hi I Just Installed Windows 7 and Want to hide other user accounts on Windows 7 64 and actually Windows Vista so the only Account showing is mine how do I do This, am I right in thinking it has to be done through the registry;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT \CurrentVersion \Winlogon, but I do not know how to prceed from this point can some help please

    The following will work for a computer in a workgroup (using the welcome page).
    For Windows 7 Enterprise (maybe others) you will also need to add a second key below SpecialAccounts called "UserList". Put all the accounts in that subkey.
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
    I have confirmed this to work on a fresh installation with multiple user accounts and not joined to a domain. I have also confirmed this on my Windows 7 Ultimate computer I use at home. I use the hidden (but not disabled) accounts to provide share access in
    a workgroup environment, so I don't want to see them on the logon page. I think the proper workaround for share access is using homegroups instead, but I don't think it provides enough granularity for me.
    Ok,
    So now that I have done this, I cannot logon to the machine with those accounts anymore or use the admin priviledges for them.  I thought it would just hide the accounts.  The problem is, I 'hid' all admin accounts, but thought like old versions
    of windows that you would be able to CTRL-ALT-DELETE on the login screen to type the username and password, but I can't get it to work!.
    How do I login once I have put in users int he UserList key?.  I can't get back into the regedit because I don't have any other admin accounts. :(
    EDIT: Answer
    If you would like to unhide the hidden Administrator account on Windows 7
    Operating System , here's how you can do it:
    1.Boot Win 7 DVD,go to command prompt and type regedit -it
    2.Click on HKLM hive and next navigate File>>Load hive
    Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config folder and choose
    SOFTWARE file load it and assign this hive any name for example REM_SOFTWARE
    3.Open key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\REM_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
    and remove this account or better way remove the whole key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\REM_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts

  • How to unlock user account in Windows Server 2003

    Hi,
    I want to unlock a user account in Windows Server 2003.
    I have read a great post at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=716240&start=0&tstart=0
    But I can not get it to work. According to the post the only thing you need to do is:
    "+to unlock an account, just set the value of the attribute lockoutTime to zero+".
    When I set lockoutTime to zero nothing happens. The user can still not logon.
    When I read the lockoutTime attribute for an account that is locked it is empty or zero if I have tried to unlock it earlier.
    So it doesn´t seem to change when the account is locked.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Windows Server 2012 has come with the concept of Group Managed Service Account (gMSA).  
    Following are the benefits of gMSA,
    - A single gMSA can be used on multiple hosts.
    - A gMSA can be used for scheduled tasks.
    - A gMSA can be used for IIS Application Pools, SQL 2012 etc.

  • Cannot create or rename a user account in Windows 7 HP x64

    Hi. I have Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with one single account with Administrator rights (it's been set up in the computer shop).
    It turned out that I cannot create a new user account with it. I try to create one from Control Panel / User accounts menu / Manage other user account. It asks me to enter a name of the account and its kind, after it is done and Create button is pressed
    it returns to the User accounts list, which stays blanc (no account created). No error messages or warnings.
    I cannot even just change the name of my exsisting account, it looks almost the same: it asks for a new name and when the the name is typed in and Rename button is pressed it returns to the previuos screen where I can see that the name remains unrenamed.
    The only thing I can do with my account is to change its image for Logon screen. :)
    Please help me to fix this issue.

    Hi....  I have the same problem with my laptop and my netbook. Same OS in my laptop and Win7 Starter in my netbook.
    The only way I found to address this issue was as following:
    - Start your computer in 'Safe Mode'
    - Logon as 'Administrator' (preferred, but also works with all local users)
    - Go to control panel and 'User Accounts'
    - Create the new user with administrator rights
    - Then close Admin session
    - Logon as the new user
    - Once logged on, and desktop and icons shows up for you, is done.
    - Then, close new user session or restart your computer normally
    This started to happen to me after a Windows 7 update for 'Service Pack 1'.
    It seems to be an error in this update because the normal process to create a new user only creates the name in the list but no folders and other files necessary to start sessions. The profile is not fully created by the normal process. Then you need to
    start the process in SAFE MODE, because it only loads the very basic functions for the OS, no drivers, no services, no antivirus....
    Hope this can help...!
    Thanks.

  • Airport Extreme and connecting through ethernet port to Windows XP Pro SP3

    I have today had the sad experience to loose network connection to My Windows XP Pro SP3 using the ethernet port on Airport Extreme Base station, the newest one.
    It seems it won't pass an IP address for XP using DHCP, and to make things worse My wireless access using My is working okay!!!
    Why do I only have this problem through ethernet ports on the Airport Extreme Base Station for XP, but wireless connectivity for My Mac's works????
    If others have similar problems and have found a solution please let Me know.
    Yes, I have twice today contacted My ISP provider but as the Mac's can connect the problem seems to lie with the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I will check this forum tomorrow and hopefully a response has been given to solve My problem

    You can access the AirPort Disk via normal file-sharing connection options, such as selecting the server from any Finder window’s sidebar in the Shared section. AirPort Disk uses two standard methods: AFP (for Macs) and Samba (for Windows or Linux).
    Leopard accesses AirPort Disks through the Finder, just like any other network volume. Open any Finder window, and look in the sidebar for a list of servers in the Shared section. You should find your AEBSn.
    To mount an AirPort Disk volume, follow these steps:
    1. Select the AEBSn in the Sharing section of the sidebar.
    2. To connect as a Guest user, you need take no more steps; To use a named account, click the Connect As button in the upper right and enter your credentials.
    3. Double click a volume that’s shown to mount it on your system.
    For both Windows XP and Vista, open the network browser by double-clicking Network on the Desktop. The base station name should appear in the Network browser.

  • Unable to fully sync with iPod Touch 1G and the (new/lat)est iTunes versions in a very old Windows XP Pro SP3 machine?

    Hi.
    I keep getting this "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." error when I try to sync my 11 GB of music from my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to an old iPod Touch 1G (iOS v3.1.3). It has a brand new (lat/new)est iTunes installations too. I tried rebooting the the machine, disconnecting USB cables, etc. None of them helped. I did not have this problem in the end of 2013.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk '...' failed. The device timed out."
    "The iPod '...' cannot be synched. An internal device error occurred."
    Sometimes Windows XP Pro SP3 thinks my USB connection is not fast? Huh?
    No problems when I synched almost 8 GB of music to an iPod Nano 6G from the same machine and USB connector and port. Same collection, and random songs.
    I tried again on a borrowed old 15" MacBook Pro (mid-2008) with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes v10.6.3. Synced from its local HDD to it without any problems.
    So, I had an idea. I retried with iTunes v11.1.3.8, that I used end of 2013, in the same Windows XP Pro SP3 machine from scratch. It worked like the end of last year! No errors! Wow! :O
    OK, so what changed in iTunes after its v11.1.3.8 to cause this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    I only see mdnsDSP from Apple in my WinSock Provider tabs in AutoRuns v11.70. I do remember I had a low memory error during a very long synchronization, but that only happened once. I doubt that is related to creating a new account especially after I rebooted my very old Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine.
