Can't get Acrobat to install, no matter what I try...

Hi there,
I just downloaded the trial version of Acrobat X Pro for my Vista 32-bit laptop. Immediately after setting the language to English, I get the following message:
"This application cannot be installed on this operating system. Setup will now terminate. Please refer to the minimum system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_system_reqs."
My Processor is Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU, T7250 @ 2.00 GHz
3.00 GB RAM, 32-bit OS. My main drive is 136 GB in total: 105 GB used, 31.2 GB available.
If anyone knows how I can fix this problem I will be very grateful -- I've tried everything, even older versions won't install.
Many thanks!

Hi Trish,
Check the version of your Service Pack -- in my case I was still running on
Service Pack 1 so needed to install Service Pack 2 manually from Microsoft.
Check http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/service-packs to
identify the right service pack for your system.
Best of luck.

  • Page/ published animation works on Hd, not on web. Due today and i can't get it to load no matter what host/method i use.

    Hi there, My animation works perfectly both within the Edge application preview and by opening the html file locally, but when i host it i just get a white page. I've uploaded all folders in the selected publish directory (images etc...) to multiple hosts.
    When opened up with console in chrome, i get these two errors:
    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
    2288335530.html:14 Uncaught ReferenceError: AdobeEdge is not defined
    When clicking on edge.5.0.1.min.js:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier  it says: The specified file doesn't exist.
    Heres a link:http://www.drivehq.com/file/DF.aspx/2288335530.html?isGallery=&share=&shareID=0&fileID=228 8335530&pay=&sesID=xwrimtbdgrq…
    I've tried checking and unchecking the 'Host runtime on CDN" as well, makes no difference.
    It's due today and i've spent ages running around panicking. No idea what to do, any help is really appreciated!

    Not really, but  i've found it to work more consistently when i upload the entire folder, including the An file and the folder before it (e.g. if its in desktop>project>Animation folder upload the project folder). Also i've turned run time in the settings off. Hope it works for you.

  • Can't get a clean m2v no matter what - please help.

    Folks, I've been working on a project about an hour long that will not yield a good DVD using Apple products or Toast. I keep getting subtle digital artifacts in different spots. Sometimes when I recpature footage and think I've fixed it, then recompress to make my dvd files, the artficacting shows up somewhere else. When I make a small Quicktime from my timeline that had the problem after compressing, the artifacts don't show up. The Quicktime (for the full show) is otherwise clean, but when I compress it using Compressor (90 minute best DVD) or let DVDSP4 encode it, i get problems either way. This happens both using Leopard and Tiger (as I tried these compression tests on two machines). I am at my wits end. Does anyone have any advice here. This is a mission critical situation and have never had these issues before.
    Specs:
    - DV NTSC Quicktime made from FCP 6 (FCS2)
    - Leopard/ Tiger (both yielded same results)
    - inconsistent artifacting
    - Used Apple DVD compressor settings (not custom)
    - Used DVDSP 4 for encoding
    - Final Cut Studio 2
    - Tried it on G5 dual 2.5 and MacBook Pro

    This was true with V2 of Compressor, but v3 is actually far superior to BitVice or even Episode Pro, especially when it comes to down-converting from HD to SD-widescreen.
    We just spent a few weeks thoroughly investigating and testing various software-based encoders: Compressor 3 (C3), Episode Pro, Sorenson Squeeze and BitVice.
    Both Squeeze and BitVice have not had any major updates in over a year and are behind the curve when it comes to output options and overall quality of encoding. BitVice does not handle down-converting HD-to-SD well at all in fact, even at it's best settings caused visible compression artifacts not seen with other encoders. Episode Pro is extremely fast however their MPEG2 files are not compliant with DVDSP4 creating stutter and strobing playback. This is a known issue that Telestream has been working on but so far has not been given much assistance from Apple in fixing the issue.
    The major complaint about C3 has always been it's speed - or lack thereof. However on our Leopard test-bed we found - as others have - that Leopards' thoroughly revised memory handling and complete redesign of hardware/software rendering engines have significantly increased C3's speed and accuracy.
    A year ago BitVice was a serious and often preferred contender for then Compressor 2 however for the Mac there is no better encoding engine at any price than C3.
    If you're having issues getting acceptable results from C3 I highly suggest the "Compressor 3 Quick Reference Guide", by Brain Gary. It's a quick read and I'd advise paying attention to small details since it's always the "devil in the details" about any encoding engine that seems to only show it's ugly head after testing.

  • Excel (Office 2010 64 bit) will not connect to Oracle DB not matter what I try

    Hello Everyone,
    I started a new role that requires me to interact with an Oracle DB using Excel.  Currently I have both the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle clients installed on my Windows 7 PC. 
    Firstly I can TNSPing the database I need to connect to, I can also connect using SQLPlus to the desired database, I can even connect using TOAD.
    No matter what I try I cannot connect using Excel VBA (Office 2010 64 bit).
    The process below used to work for me in a different location, now the objDatabase always is returned "Empty"
    Set objSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set objDataBase = objSession.OpenDatabase("database server", "user name/passsword", 0&)
    I am not even able to set up a simple ODBC connection working.  I get a error "ORA-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable."
    When using a ADODB connection I get this error. Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
    [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and default driver specified.
    I have place the TNSNames file in both Oracle Home's
    I have even reinstalled Office 2010.

    Hi,
    The 12577 error (12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable) is related to Windows Environment or Oracle Home PATH because sqlplus command works smoothly when I execute it inside ORACLE_HOME\bin.
    There are two solutions to this issue:
    1. Put the Oracle DB Home in front of the other paths in the PATH environment variable.
    2. Remove ORACLE_HOME From environment Variable and re-boot PC

    cannot select anything in the upper drop down. and if I click accept….nothing happens!

    Hi Shotgun981,
    Adding to what Jeff & Sheena shared, have you got any other product installed on this machine? Is that working fine ? Can you please navigate to the below mentioned location and advice if that worked for you or not.
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
    Rename the above mentioned folder to SLStore_old and try and launch Acrobat . If this doesn't work , please make sure that we have full permissions on the folder mentioned in the kb article. (Note: this Kb article is only for sharing the location and the actual problem is not described in it)

  • My iMac has a Kernel Panic screen come up on start up and I can't get past it no matter what I try. Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    My mac has a "Kernel Panic" screen come up on start up. No matter what I try I can't get past this to fix it. Any hints out there? Do I have to completely wipe my drive and re-install to fix this? I can't even back up my files before doing this as like I say I can't get past the Kernel Panic message.

    There are some fairly informative articles about kernel panics...
    •OS X: About kernel panics:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note the toggle triangles to get more info in the above article, some are
    important steps, with alternative methods of accessing or performing a
    suggested activity and may vary with the OS X version in use.
    •Resolving Kernel Panics:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    •Technical Note: TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2063/_index.html
    The above TN covers several technical aspects to identify & troubleshoot.
    Some are above the average user needs, but still can be rather helpful.
    Hopefully you can get past the kernel panic screen, there are several
    ways to attempt to do that, however if the issue is hardware, a reinstall
    of the OS X may not cure the underlying cause of the symptom.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Help I can't get iTunes to install on my computer

    My husband just bought me my first iPod for our anniversary present. For the life of me now matter what I try with the troubleshooting tips I can't get iTunes + Quicktime to install properly. It will stall at 'Registering iTunes automation server' then pop up with the error 'iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' I have completely removed iTunes and QuickTime multiple times and tried to install. This still doesn't work. I have tried installing QuickTime 7.2 as mentioned by another post, but it just says I already have a newer version on my computer, even though I thought I had removed the program. Does anyone else have any other recomendations? This is so frustrating. Why doesn't Apple have an 800 number to call for help?!

    +This still doesn't work. I have tried installing QuickTime 7.2 as mentioned by another post, but it just says I already have a newer version on my computer, even though I thought I had removed the program.+
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC. (Run the Utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install CleanUp"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appear in CleanUp, select the QuickTime entries, and then click “Remove”.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders (Some or all of these may already be gone).
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now try another QuickTime 7.2 install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have installed Smile Box and can't get it to install, I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 10.5.8 1.33 GHz help?

    I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 OSX 10.5.8 1.33 GHz  and can't get Smiebox to install, it downloads the program just fine but will not let me install it, can someone tell me why?

    Hi SusieQ,
    Seems they have no idea what they're doing over there, to wit...
    Mac Snow Leopard and above*
    In general, we recommend a multi-core processor and at least 2 GB RAM.
    Connection to the Internet is required; Smilebox is optimized for a high-speed broadband connection, and that faster connection will give you the best performance.
    Smilebox uses your Internet browser and Flash11 (or higher) to run. We automatically detect whether Flash is installed and will help you install the free download if need be. You will also need javascript enabled. Your internet browser and any security software (firewall, antivirus) you have on your computer may need to be configured to "allow" Smilebox internet access. Please refer our article on - I have security software (firewall or anti-virus software) that I suspect is blocking Smilebox.  What can I do to fix that?
    If your computer shipped with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can install run Smilebox; we do require that Windows XP computers have Service Pack 3 installed.
    To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher (if your Mac was made in the past 3 years, it should meet this requirement), 2GB or more RAM.
    *Smilebox will not run on earlier versions of the Mac OS X including Leopard (10.5).
    Snow Leopard is 10.6.x, no G3/G4/G5 PPC Mac can run 10.6 or above.
    So this line is wrong, or two other lines about Snow Leopard are wrong....
    To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher

  • How can I get Verizon to install fiber in my neighborhood? Have been waiting 10 years.

    How can I get Verizon to install fiber in my neighborhood?
    I have been on the notification list for nearly 10 years with no action.
    Current DSL download speed is only 3.0 Mbps, the max available for copper twisted pair, so I am told by tech support.
    Unless Verizon will install fiber in my neighborhood, my only option to obtain faster internet service is to change to another provider, though I would prefer to remain a Verizon customer.
    Any suggestions for alternate providers, under the circumstances?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Forget it. I've been waiting 13 years and every town around me has Fios, in fact my town is a small [27k population] city who provides the phone exchange numbers for the surrounding towns with Fios! Figure that out. I myself have given up and am moving on to Time Warner for my internet and phone and will not return even if fios does appear before the end times.. They are actually cheaper than verizon when flat rate phone service and real broadband speeds are figured in. Verizon only has last century's DSL technology available. Leave verizon, they don't care if do or not.
