Activation problem with Acrobat V7 on Windows Vista

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Home Edition pre-loaded. I then installed my Acrobat Version 7 software which had been installed and operating trouble-free on my old Windows XP machine. Everything seemed to install OK but then when I tried to use the software an automatic pop-up appeared saying I could not activate the product because I was not logged on as the Administrator. When I check my user identity in Vista I am logged on as the Administrator and I am the only user.
When I then tried to activate by phone the Adobe individual was clueless as to what the problem was except to say there are compatibility problems with V7 & Vista and suggesting I hand over another $99 to upgrade to V9 - something I am not enthused about since I already paid $299 only 2 years ago.
Suggestions?

Vista requires AA8.1 at a minimum. I think that a few have gotten AA7 to work, but it is not supported by Adobe on VISTA. I know that is not good news, but it may be that you will be unsuccessful. At the very least, expect to have to print to file and open distiller to complete the conversion. I think that AcroTray is one of the major problems with the use on VISTA.
Hopefully someone might stop by that has successfully gotten over the registration problem you are having, and possibly gotten AA7 to work in some sense on VISTA, but do not be surprised if there are no takers. Good luck.

Problems with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

Hi all
I need help with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7.
During the installation I'm asked to locate the file AdobePDF.dll on the disk. Selected the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64.
The installation finishes without any other problem.
The problem arises when I want to create a pdf from a Word document. I'm using Office 2007. When I select he option to create a pdf from a file, I get message in the attached image.
If I try to used the Adobe PDF printer from within Word, nothing happes. The small printer icon apprears in the Windows task bar, but that is all. If I double click on the icon, I can see the print job, but that's all. There is no dialog box that asks me to save the file.
Assistance will be apppreciated.

Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

Problems with driver in microsoft windows vista

I speak of Brazil, I have a smarthfone BlackBerry 8100 and a Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook with Windows Vista 32-bit, Service Pack 1. I'm having problems with "Bluetooth peripheral device" and the solution of the problem indicates to contact with RIM to find and properly install the driver of that device. How did attempt to resolve the download of the BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.7, but said, I want to get a resolution to the problem. No more, thank you now.

> What can we do?
Let your Cisco rep know that this is an important feature. The word I have is that stateful firewall is not in the Vista feature set for Cisco.
The readme for the Cisco VPN client 5.0 bears this out:
Known Issues:
CSCsh02887 Vista: Stateful firewall does not start.
CSCse44616 Vista: VPN Client should not install Zone Lab Firewall on Vista platform
CSCsf07334 Vista: Stateful Firewall Not Supported on Vista VPN Client

Problems with airport extreme and windows vista

Hi, I have windows vista and I'm having problems conecting it to air port extreme. The only way I can make airport extreme work is to disconect and reconect the powercord and then my computer reconizes it.
Any sugestions would be helpful.

I just got off the HP "chat" technical assistance about my HP DV6500z doing this same thing. At least for my model there is an October BIOS update. She had me re-install the Broadcom drivers and run the BIOS update. Now the whole computer runs faster in addition to connecting wirelessly! Not only that, I can use the "closed" network feature through the Airport Utility to hide my network as I did in the past and the PC finds it! I guess through all of the very testy notes on HP's discussion board they finally came through (well, at least on this model). My model has the AMD processor so if yours is Intel it may not be the same. I recommend going to their TA chat line or type in your model on their Software & Driver page to see if there is a recent revision on your models BIOS. The one I downloaded was dated 10-2007.

I don´t know the reason of these problems, i´m trying to find something in internet.
I hope you can help me to resolve this problems, i need photoshop.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked that the files actually "belong" to anyone? If you reinstalled your system recently, they may have invalid security descriptors. Try to check. Right-click one of the offending files, choose "Properties", then go to the security settings tab. You should at least see 3 entries (Administrators,[your user name], System). If you see additional entries only consisting of numbers and letters, uncheck the "inherit parent folder settings" option, choose to copy all permissions in the prompt that comes up, then delete those invalid entries. In addition, you may need to set a new owner in the "Advanced" options (it should however default to Administrator after the previous steps)...

Problems with 10.7 on windows vista

Hi
Today i downloaded iOS 6 on my iphone 4s successfully, although all my apps have disappeared. I went to sync on itunes and I hadn't been able to downlad 10.6 a few weeks ago. Today it wouldn't let me sync phone as it requires 10.7, but laptop won't let me download this either. I tried to uninstall itunes, but won't let me do that either. I've tried downloading form itunes website, but no joy.
the message is 'errors occurred whilst installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose tools, download only and try installing manually'. I've tried and this doesn't work either!!
Please help

'Error writing to file C:\Config.Msi\7b0bb7.rbf. Verify taht you have access to that directory' ??
Are you running some kind of real-time backup service or utility on the PC?
(The \Config.msi\ folders are temporary structures created on the PC during an install using Windows Installer. If a back-up utility grabs a file in there to do a copy at the wrong moment, that can interfere with an install.)

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1?

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1. Why am I having this problem?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Error with Contribute 3 on Windows Vista

Hi
With Contribute 3 on Windows Vista, does anyone know if
anything can be done about the following error:
Error 1904.Module

Failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473. Contact
Your support personnel
MMxtp has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution
is available.
Many thanks

I've got the same problem. Adobe support are hopeless since
they bought Macromedia. "We don't support Contribute 3 any longer.
You'll have to upgrade to CS3". Downloaded CS3 trial. Same
problems. "Sorry, we don't support trial versions of products" What
a bunch of wankers. How the hell do they expect anyone to buy their
products if 1. they don't work and 2. they don't support them. I'll
find something else to buy from now on.

Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears

I just updated my Bootcamp to 2.1, I thought it would solve my problem
"Right-click with 2 fingers on Windows Vista taskbar and nothing appears" but I still have this problem, I cannot right-click on my windows vista at all.
though, right-click on the notification area works.
right-click = pressing the trackpad with 2 fingers.

Now I have figured out I have to use 3 fingers instead of 2 fingers.
but in the BootCamp Control Panel there is an option that says
* Use 2 fingers for right-click

Hi O_H_I_O,
Have you got an error code ?
Considering it is a brand new machine ,please update the machines .To get a better performance of the machines ,we should always keep it up to date .
There is a possibility that the DVD/CD-ROm drives driver is old or has corrupted .Please open the device manager , update or reinstall the driver to have a check.
Apart from this ,we can run the built-in tool to a diagnostic :
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories\Hardware and Devices
We also can run the following fixit tool to have a check.

Problems with shutdown, expose and window switching

Hi there,
Recently I've been having a few issues with OS X. First of all it wasn't shutting down properly -- the menu bar would disappear and it would look like it was going to shutdown, but it never did. I could move down to the dock (on auto-hide) and it would re-appear, at which point I can bring up a terminal window and use 'shutdown' to do the job. On startup I'd reset the PRAM, and then do a disk-check, but the problem keeps coming back.
Subsequently, I've also been having problems with expose and switching windows (i.e. command-tab). Namely, neither of them work. Expose won't fire from either hot corners or the keyboard, and if I re-launch the app from the Apps folder (without trying to kill it first, I should say), it does nothing. Cmd-tab gets interpreted as just tab, and the keyboard shortcut for dashboard also fails (although I can start the dashboard from the dock).
I read in another post about an invalid jpeg in the downloads folder being able to cause the Expose problem (seems like a most unlikely bug?). Anyway, I cleared all pictures from my downloads folder and functionality came back, but now it's gone again. It's really very frustrating as it makes moving between windows a lot more hassle.
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
TIA,
Mat

This sounds interesting.
Can you post a copy for the rest of us to see?
As for actually helping you, and not just satisfying our curiousity, if you start cutting pieces of the code you will probably end up finding the source of the problem (and we won't have too big a program to handle). Since DSC is a likely suspect, you may want to start there.
Also, are you creating an installer and using that to install? If not, you may wish to try that.
Try to take over the world!

IPhone 3G 2.1 connection error with iTunes 8 on Windows Vista Enterprise

I was previously able to connect my iphone with my work computer (Windows Vista Enterprise) and it would recognize my phone. However, since I updated my iphone to version 2.1, it will not recognize the phone and gives me the following error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000024)."
I am able to connect my phone with version 2.1 to my home computer running Windows XP SP2.
Any idea what may be causing the connection error in Windows Vista?

Hey TranceCadet,
This could be caused by a USB connection issue.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high speed USB port on the PC and not plugged into a hub, monitor, or keyboard. Disconnect any other USB devices, other than the keyboard and mouse.
This article has some general USB troubleshooting tips: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
You may also want to disable or reconfigure any security software. This article will walk you through putting the PC in a selective startup mode, which will bypass most application conflicts.
