Activation screen missing after reinstall of Acrobat 7 Professional

Acrobat 7 Professional ran fine on my XP (SP3) computer for several years. Recently, upon launch, it started to display an Adobe Activation window with an error message telling me that it couldn't continue and to please reinstall it. I finally got around to reinstalling over the holidays, but the same window with the error message pops up. The regular activation screen (the one with my serial number and an activation code) never appears.
I've reinstalled and "repaired" at least 10 or 12 times. I've also read all the tech notes on activation problems and tried 90% of the suggestions (ran a check disk on the hard drive, defragged disk, deleted old Adobe Reader programs, reinstalled to the root directory instead of the default Program Files, ran a Registry Cleaner, etc. etc.). I ran the Adobe License Manager 2.70 patch, and I still get the error. I even installed Acrobat on my laptop (Win 2000) to make sure the Acrobat CD wasn't damaged (it installed fine and I was able to activate it from the activation screen).The only suggestion I didn't try was "reformat the disk and install only Windows and Adobe software." No, thanks.
When I launch Acrobat on my desktop and get the Activation error window, the Task Manager shows two related processes: Adobelmsvc.exe and Adobelm_Cleanup.0001. The Task Manager on my laptop, on the other hand, shows Adobelmsvc.exe and Adobelm_Cleanup (not with the digits 0001, although the difference may have to do with the difference between Win2K and XP). I don't know if this has any significance.
The Activation error pops up almost instantly after launch, but I've tried to quickly open the Help drop-down menu before the error appears, and I notice that the Activate option is grayed out.
This is a legit version of Acrobat that I purchased directly from Adobe, and I feel sure if I could just get the activation screen to appear, I could activate with no problems. I tried calling the phone activation folks at Adobe, but they sent me to Tech Support. Natually, Tech Support told me the software was no longer supported and to search the forums, which I've done.
Before I totally give up on this, I was hoping someone could suggest an activation solution.
Thanks,
AKT

Okay, problem solved.
I uninstalled my Comodo Firewall. Apparently recent updates to Comodo are incompatible with Acrobat.

Mail app not displaying any screens - Missing after reinstall

I've had my MBP for a few months and just decided to try to use the Mail app but it won't display any screens or "windows" no matter what I choose in the menu bar. It's showing up as though it's running in the icon bar at the bottom and the menu bar at the top but there's just no application window to work in.
I ended up deleting the app and trying to reinstall it from the disks that came with the laptop but once I did that now I can't get the app to even show up in the Applications folder or in Finder.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you have installed from disc with a version of OSX earlier than you currently have, then you must first download the Combo Update for the version you want to be running, and apply that over the existing OSX. That will increment Mail to the matching version. Keep me posted, as there may be other issues.

IPhoto missing after reinstalling leopard

After reinstalling Leopard on my new macBook, iPhoto is missing from the Applications. Has anyone any ideas how to solve this? I can't find the individual install for iPhoto either on the install disks.
Thanks

so I'm buying my own copy of Leopard
Why?
Because the copy of Leopard she has is unlicensed if she doesn't have the install disc.
Do I have to erase the installed one before I install my new copy?
If 10.5 is working why are you going to re-install?
Well, security for one. I would never, never, never use a pre-owned Mac without completely erasing and reinstalling everything from scratch. Who knows what hacks, security holes, pirated software, or other junk may have been left on it by its previous owner. We already know that the seller included a stolen copy of Leopard. Maya would be doing everything right by buying a fresh copy of Leopard and reinstalling.
And if iphoto is going to be missing, could I install it from the Tiger disk that came with my desktop?
System Restore Disks are particular to the model they come with. Also, it's a breach of the licence.
That's wrong. Software on a system restore disc may be transferred to a different Mac as long as the software is no longer installed on the first Mac. And while some have reported difficulty getting OS X to install on a different model, I think it's likely that the iLife apps will work.
If Maya has no system restore CDs for her iBook at all, she should contact the seller and demand them. If the seller told Maya that Leopard or any other Apple software is included, and then included no install discs, the seller defrauded Maya.

Reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Professional on a new laptop

Can I uninstall Acrobat Professional X from my old laptop and reinstall on my new machine and what is the correct procedure for doing so?

In any case, you will need the installation files. I hope you have the CD or backup up your download and well as writing down the serial number. If you registered, Adobe can help you on the latter.
The procedure would be the following:
1. Deactivate the current version.
2. Uninstall the current version.
3. Install Acrobat on the new laptop.
4. Start Acrobat and activate it.
5. Do the updates and reboot.
Since you have AA X, there may be some issues if you got Win8, not sure.

Icons of some applications missing after reinstalling gnome3

I had to reinstall gnome today because I had accidently deleted all themes in /usr/share/themes and for that, gdm wasnt starting. After that everything works fine, only issue is that I cant see icons of some applications as seen below.
http://i.imgur.com/OeXPy.png
as you see icons of some apps like amarok, 7zipFM etc got replaced by the default icon. They used to show their normal icons before the reinstallation, and changing the icons via gnome-tweak-tool doesnt help.
All help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Moderaror edit: That image is much larger than our policy permits. Changed to a url rather than an in-line image.

Are the icons missing when you use other icon themes like the default? Have you installed "alacarte" from AUR? You can then go in and change invdividual icons. Sometimes you have to restart gnome-shell for the changes to take place. "Alt-F2 then r"

Cant adjust screen brightness after reinstalling windows_DV7-4080us

Need help with my HP DV7-4080us.
I can't adjust the brightness of my monitor and it's soooo bright that it hurts my eyes. Tried using the function key but no response at all, please help~~
Lily

Hi Advance23,
Thanks for your reponse I appreciate that.
Yes, i have just reinstalled Windows 7 64bits home premium on mt laptop (and I believe it's the latest version and with most present updates). After the installation, all the funtion keys are not working, e.g. Brightness adjustment/volumn adjustment etc.
I did some research before posting this post and followed the steps on "Resolving Problems with the Brightness of the Display" from HP website to try to fix this as well, however i did not have much luck.
One thing I haven't try is to download the drivers for HP, as there are too many drivers out there im not sure which one to download, so if i'm going that way would love to have someone's professional guide of which one should I donwload in order to fix this problem.
Btw, since the system is newly installed the HP support desktop usually appears before going into windows is not there anymore, don't know if this is relavent to the issue here.
Please help me with this, I really need to get my laptop going but now with such a bright sceen I have to ware a sunglasses
Thanks

Applications are missing after reinstall, etc.

Hi, and thanks in advance for any assistance.
After a reinstall, which had to be done after trying to create more startup disk space after stuff was backed up to an external HD (I hope that makes sense) some applications are missing from the applications folder. For example, Backup used to be there, with the little umbrella icon, and Canoscan used to be there, etc., but now to find them I have to go through Spotlight. I can access them that way, but how can I get their icons back into the applications folder, and why'd they vanish??
Thanks,
Kcat

Hi, Miriam, and thanks for responding.
My internal Mac HD is 74.4GB. Used 73.3GB. Available 1.79GB.
My external Mufasa HD is 148 GB. Used 92.1 GB. Available 55.9 GB.
In the midst of the horror (See my Question: "Startup Disk almost full. What do I do now?") Apple had me do an Erase and Install. I did indeed accidentally re-transfer all of my date from Mufasa back to Mac HD, but Apple worked with me to remedy much of that, though I couldn't repeat the myriad steps to accomplish that to you! I'm not even sure myself! I am not sure why I have so little room on Mac HD after all of this.
Would the next step be to start burning data to CD-R or CD-RW disks? I'm not sure. I seem to need much of what I've saved, though I've deleted some stuff, of course. I have never burned a CD before. Is there a brand of CD that you recommend to do this? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for "Whatsize": As per your suggestion, I downloaded it and used that to give you the above info.
Yes, Carolyn's idea about reinstalling Canon was a perfect confirmation!
It helps me to know that others have gone through the weird subscription issue. I'll try your suggestion.
Thanks again, Miriam,

Problems with screen resolution after reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium

Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product Number: A6X94UA#ABA
BIOS: F.1C
Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM
Graphics Device: Intel HD Graphics Family
I recently had to wipe my laptop and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium (created restore disk from Windows). Ever since, I have not been able to adjust my display settings any higher than 1024x768. My only other option on the adjustment range is 800x600. I have updated BIOS (it was already at latest version) and I have searched for updated drivers (system says most recent ones are in use), but I cannot get it to provide me with a more appropriate size selection for my screen; I have to scroll back and forth in Internet Explorer, for example, to see a full screen because it doesn't fit correctly on my laptop screen.
It seems like this should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to find the right trick. Can anyone help?
TIA,
Teri

@buzymom2 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. The only thing I would try at this point is to go to this link and download the software and drivers for your notebook.
HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Once you have them downloaded save them to a USB memory stick or burn them to a CD or DVD.
Now you will want to boot into safe mode.
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
Now in safe mode uninstall all your drivers by going into the device manager.
Uninstall or Reinstall a Device
Once you have the drivers removed, reboot into windows in normal mode. Now install your drivers one at a time you have to start with the chipset driver. If you install the drivers without the chipset first it can cause all kinds of problems.
Let me know how things go.
Thank you so much for posting and have a great day.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

IWorks missing after reinstall of operating system.

Replaced hard drive and reinstalled operating system. iWorks does not appear in Applications folder. I came preloaded on my MacBook Pro. How do I reinstall it?

If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install it from the computer's original disks or an iWork DVD.
If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID associated with them, click on the Purchases tab, and download them.

Video Missing After Reinstalling on New Computer

I backed up my "My Music" directory, deauthorized itunes from my old computer, reinstalled itunes on the new computer and restored the directory "My Music" and let itunes redo the music.
However, while the music is all there, the 10 or so episodes of Monk are not. Does anyone have an idea as to why?
Is video kept in a different location and perhaps I didnt back it up like i thought?
Thanks.

I don't really understand ... you wouldn't re-install on a new computer ... you would install, not re-install ... so I'm not sure what your concern really is.
Nevertheless, any installation or re-installation can be done from the installation disk.
