Error message when trying to view/print Crystal reports in B1

I get the following Error message when trying to view/print crystal reports in SAP B1/Crystal Reports Integration Tool for SAP Business One:
" Could not load file or assembly 'Crystal Decisions Windows Forms, version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, Public Key Token=692fbea551e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ????

Hi
Common issues for this :
1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
Try then running the report .
If not the case ,
make sure you install runtime .
You need :
1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
3.Make sure you have runtime install
When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
Hope this solves your issue

Error message in excel 2003 : compile error in hidden module could be caused by Adobe Acroate add in

The error message in excel 2003 : "compile error in hidden module AutoExecNew" could be caused by Adobe Acroate add ins, thats waht microsoft told me.I use windows xp service pack3.I have got reader newest version and photoshop 6.0. With this and also with an older reader version I got the error message when opening excel. what can I do?
Best regards Ray

If you have Adobe Reader, you (probably) don't have Adobe Acrobat, a
commercial ($$) product. 5.0 is a very old release.
But you can check if the files are there anyway from long ago. See

How do i get past the "do not have sufficient privileges" error message installing flashplayer?

how do i get past the "do not have sufficient privileges" error message installing flashplayer? i've googled the problem and seen the other solutions and for some reason cannot get any of them to work for me.

I've recommended several things here in the forums and like you, I've seen zero success.
Run as Administrator = no luck.
Take ownership of the c drive = no luck.
Create a new (admin) account = no success.
I've even seen one poster who reformatted and reinstalled Window 7, and no luck.
Frankly, I'm at a total loss.

Error message on trying to view site uploaded

Format: Flash CS5, Platform: MacPro
In creating a site for client I had no problem in uploading and viewing on first go. I needed to update the metadata, made changes, uploaded and got error messages when trying to view on safari, firefox, opera. I went back into server and uploaded previous version (which formerly I had no problem pulling up) same thing- error messages. Contacted the host server and they pulled up and said all was fine- no problems PC or Mac and all browsers. They tested the site at a third party website montoring service and the site resolved at over 56 sites worldwide (http://h-t.co/vk34). I have had others check the site and no prob. in viewing. I have worked on another site at the same time and there are no problems at present with it: http://www.inthewoodonline.com/
Question: I still cannot bring up the site on my Mac-Firefox, Opera, or Safari or on my PC-IE, Safari, or Chrome so what is wrong! I can place it on my website server in a folder and all comes up.
Problem: there will be additions to this site and I will not be comfortable doing if I cannot view it real time and not through a round-a -bout way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in resolving this. The site is http://www.waterwellsolutions.net/
Thank you!

I am so glad all is well. Just don't be shocked when the strange silent lights show up in the sky and you get that feeling that you've lost time.
Try going to a location where you can connect to wifi and see if that doesn't help. If it does, you can try reinstalling your flash player then make sure the flash code you wrote is compatible. I seriously doubt that's an issue though. I'll try the new flash player here and see if I can 'create' the same problem and get back to you.

Can see list of old emails, but error message when trying to view message.

Ok, after a Mail crash (10.4.1), there were no accounts listed and of course no old emails, sent or in the inbox, were visible.
We reentered all the account info, as if we were starting anew, and now we are able to see the list of all old emails in the inbox and sent mailbox, but when we click on any message before the crash, we get this error message:
The message from David Crandon, ([email protected]), concerning (the subject of the email), has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take the account online in order to download it.
Now, obviously, the accounts are online because we can send and receive new emails with no problem, and of course, the old emails aren't going to be on the server anymore.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Well, didn't work. I spent an hour and a half just trying to get my 76yr old uncle to back able to drag and drop into the correct folder, and then trying to find the file when he didn't....!
Anyway, it didn't work. After removing the Envelope Index file, and reimporting the messages, everything was the same. He could still see all his old emails in the list in Mail, but got the same error message when trying to view them.
Then, we rebuilt the inbox, and now none of his old messages are visible! However, they are still on the computer.
All his old emails are ".emlx" files and if we click directly on one of them, then Mail will launch and display the message properly in it's own window. But again, we get the above error message if we try to view it by selecting it from the message list in mail.
One interesting thing...in the Library->Mail folder their are two folders, "Mailboxes" and "Mailboxes.mbox". Both at the same level. It's the Mailboxes.mbox folder that has all his old emails. Although all the old ones have the suffix ".elmx". In the Mailboxes folder are all the new emails since we reset all the prefs in Mail after the crash a couple of days ago.
Anymore help please to get mail to recognize all these old emails?
Thanks,
David

Reinstalling Design Premium 5.5 on a Mac - error message "Install" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

Trying to reinstall Design Premium 5.5 on a Mac OSX 10.7.5 - once downloaded to my computer it will not install due to error message "Install" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.
Thanks

no, redownload using a different browser from prodesigntools.com
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

I need help re-installing itunes. I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support. Any solutions?

I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10. When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10. I tried that. However, I still get the same error message. Now, I have no Itunes.
I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
Anyone offer any solutions?

me too did you get any help?

JPPI-
Did you try it with the iTunes your Mac already has?
Try running Software Update in your System Preferences. That should bring your computer up to the latest software available for 10.4. You would end up with an older version of iTunes, but that may be good enough to activate your iPad.
