Fixing Reader 9.1 update

Hi,
Had to do a system restore after Reader had updated to 9.1 to fix an unrelated problem (system is XP SP2). In Help/About it now shows as 9.0 again. As Check For Updates in app does nothing I found Updater 5 and Updater 6 folders in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe, ran Updater 6, and got message: "There are no updates available at this time. Please note that some updates for the following programs cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Reader 9."
In Program Files I've got Reader 9.0 folder and also Reader 9(2).0 folder, think the (2) was added by system restore process.
Decided to uninstall 9.0 and download 9.1 from scratch, but when d/loading files from Adobe got Comodo Defence+ warning of possible buffer overflow attack and terminated app (both Firefox and IE7), noticed through searches others have encountered this. Eventually got files from here ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.1/, option of .exe file or .msi file.
So...to uninstall Reader and anything that came with it then do clean installation, what's best method? Normally I'd use Add/Remove and CCleaner, but I've seen Windows Installer Cleanup Utility mentioned. Do you use that with or instead of Add/Remove etc? And then should I use .exe or .msi file?
Not that familiar with Reader's workings as it's one of those apps I tend to install and forget about, occasionally creating or viewing PDFs. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

CCleaner removed everything first time, 9.1 successfully installed. Thanks for reply anyway, will keep cleanup tool for future troubleshooting.

  • Adobe Reader won't update

    Adobe Reader will not update on my Windows 7 OS. It says:
    =========================================
    Update failed
    Updates have been disabled by your system policy.
    Error: 1007
    =========================================
    What does this mean? How can I fix it so that it WILL update again on its own?

    No, just uninstall from Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.
    As for the installer, you can download it directly from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/AdbeRdr940_en_US.exe

  • Email address with hyphens and periods are invalid - still not fixed after 2.01 update

    When I use the native messaging app in OS2 I cannot send or reply to an email address that has a period and a hyphen in it.
    the address i'm sending to is [email protected]
    the address turns red whether in a reply or selecting the address from the address book.  When trying to send an Invalid Address message appears that says "the address fields include one or more invalid addressses.  please correct or remove address and try again."
    8000 fixes in the new update and this isn't one of them?  Why?  When will this be fixed - very irritating.

    Please, Lost_at-Sea, this is not a typo, it happens when I hit reply! It's also not a bounce message (which is what I would receive if I typed the address wrongly), it's an error message from the email app.
    Blackberry staff have confirmed this is a bug in the forums and there is an open issue for it since mid-April.

    I think it's a combination of two dots and a hyphen that does it; I haven't heard of anyone unable to email to [email protected], but I might be wrong.

  • Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

    I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
    When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
    So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe.  When I start the download I get this on the screen:  The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068."  The memory could not be written.  Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug.  So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer.   A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
    I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it.  I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
    I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
    So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated.  Thanks, in advance, for your reply.  Jim R.

    Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy.  A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." 
    Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief. 
    It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C.  no joy. 
    Sigh...Jim R.

  • Process Chain : Read PSA and Update Data Target in BI 7.0

    Hello Experts,
    In my Process Chain I have a variant Execute Infopackage to load the data only into PSA. then I have next variant as *Read PSA and Update Data Target*. my data target was a Master Data table Hierarchy
    In the variant " Read PSA and Update Data Target". the selection Parameters were
    PSA.Table : 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1
    Selection Object Type : same Infopackage in Varaint Execute Infopackage
    the Error message was Variant doesnot contain a valid combination request/data target
    I checked the PSA-Table using RSA1OLD Transaction then I find four PSA Tables:
    0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1
    0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA2
    0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA3
    0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4
    All the requests are linked to PSA Table *0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4*.
    I can't understand why there exists four PSA Tables?
    I try to link the PSA-table 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA4 in the variant *Read PSA and Update Data Target and try to save it it raises short dump.
    If I select 0GLACCEXT_T011_HIER_BA1 in the varaint I shouldn't face any problems.?
    but the process chain raises an Error message Variant doesnot contain a valid combination request/data target with this variant.
    How shall I handle this issue?
    Please carify me the issues as soon as possible.
    thanks in advance
    Regards
    sailekha

    Hello,
    In the Variant Read PSA and Update Data Target I have to select  the PSA Tabelle Name from the preselection list in the System it shows me all the four PSA Tables that I mentioned.
    I can select any one of them. So I trieed with all the four PSA Tables in the list but I can selct only the XXXX......BA1 table  then only I can save and  include it in the PC. If I select the remaining tables BA2, BA3, BA4.........while I try to save the Variant it raises short dump.
    I checked the PSA using the Transaction  RSA1OLD under PSA...... I find 4 PSA Tables( I don't know whether they are PSA Tables or not but in the Variant it states that they are PSA Tables) in which all the requests are attached to BA4. only.
    I observed that ony for Hierarchies I find four PSA tables for remaining one only one PSA table was available.
    I totally confused how to handle this situation. any suggestions......... please help me to resolve this problem.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Reader 10.1 update fails, creates huge log files

    Last night I saw the little icon in the system tray saying an update to Adobe Reader was ready to be installed.
    I clicked it to allow the install.
    Things seemed to go OK (on my Windows XP Pro system), although very slowly, and it finally got to copying files.
    It seemed to still be doing something and was showing that it was copying file icudt40.dll.  It still displayed the same thing ten minutes later.
    I went to bed, and this morning it still showed that it was copying icutdt40.dll.
    There is no "Cancel" button, so this morning I had to stop the install through Task Manager.
    Now, in my "Local Settings\TEMP" directory, I have a file called AdobeARM.log that is 2,350,686 KB in size and a file MSI38934.LOG that is 4,194,304 KB in size.
    They are so big I can't even look at them to see what's in them.  (Too big for Notepad.  When I tried to open the smaller log file, AdobeARM.log, with Wordpad it was taking forever and showing only 1% loaded, so after five minutes, I terminated the Wordpad process so I could actually do something useful with my computer.)
    You would think the installer would be smart enough to stop at some point when the log files begin to get enormous.
    There doesn't seem to be much point to creating log files that are too big to be read.
    The update did manage to remove the Adobe Reader X that was working on my machine, so now I can no longer read PDF files.
    Maybe I should go back Adobe Reader 9.
    Reader X never worked very well.
    Sometimes the menu bar showed up, sometimes it didn't.
    PDF files at the physics e-print archive always loaded with page 2 displayed first.  And if you forgot to disable the look-ahead capability, you could get banned from the e-print archive site altogether.
    And I liked the user interface for the search function a lot better in version 9 anyway.  Who wants to have to pop up a little box for your search phrase when you want to search?  Searching is about the most important and routine activity one does, other than going from page to page and setting the zoom.

    Hi Ankit,
    Thank you for your e-mail.
    Yesterday afternoon I deleted the > 2 GB AdobeARM.log file and the > 4.194 GB
    MSI38934.LOG file.
    So I can't upload them.  I expect I would have had a hard time doing so
    anyway.
    It would be nice if the install program checked the size of the log files
    before writing to them and gave up if the size was, say, three times larger
    than some maximum expected size.
    The install program must have some section that permits infinite retries or
    some other way of getting into an endless loop.  So another solution would be
    to count the number of retries and terminate after some reasonable number of
    attempts.
    Something had clearly gone wrong and there was no way to stop it, except by
    going into the Task Manager and terminating the process.
    If the install program can't terminate when the log files get too big, or if
    it can't get out of a loop some other way, there might at least be a "Cancel"
    button so the poor user has an obvious way of stopping the process.
    As it was, the install program kept on writing to the log files all night
    long.
    Immediately after deleting the two huge log files, I downloaded and installed
    Adobe Reader 10.1 manually.
    I was going to turn off Norton 360 during the install and expected there
    would be some user input requested between the download and the install, but
    there wasn't.
    The window showed that the process was going automatically from download to
    install. 
    When I noticed that it was installing, I did temporarily disable Norton 360
    while the install continued.
    The manual install went OK.
    I don't know if temporarily disabling Norton 360 was what made the difference
    or not.
    I was happy to see that Reader 10.1 had kept my previous preference settings.
    By the way, one of the default settings in "Web Browser Options" can be a
    problem.
    I think it is the "Allow speculative downloading in the background" setting.
    When I upgraded from Reader 9 to Reader 10.0.x in April, I ran into a
    problem. 
    I routinely read the physics e-prints at arXiv.org (maintained by the Cornell
    University Library) and I got banned from the site because "speculative
    downloading in the background" was on.
    [One gets an "Access denied" HTTP response after being banned.]
    I think the default value for "speculative downloading" should be unchecked
    and users should be warned that one can lose the ability to access some sites
    by turning it on.
    I had to figure out why I was automatically banned from arXiv.org, change my
    preference setting in Adobe Reader X, go to another machine and find out who
    to contact at arXiv.org [I couldn't find out from my machine, since I was
    banned], and then exchange e-mails with the site administrator to regain
    access to the physics e-print archive.
    The arXiv.org site has followed the standard for robot exclusion since 1994
    (http://arxiv.org/help/robots), and I certainly didn't intend to violate the
    rule against "rapid-fire requests," so it would be nice if the default
    settings for Adobe Reader didn't result in an unintentional violation.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 Update, DELL Monitor Issue, Comes up as Mobile PC

    Hi Folks,
    I have currently discovered a bug in the Adobe Reader 9.3 Update released on 1/12/2010 where in a multi-monitor environment one of the monitors or sometimes multiple monitors come up as a Moblie Display.
    I have seen this happen when the update is applied on a Windows 7 64bit box with Quad or Dual Monitor set-up. Using Dell p2210t Monitors and Nvidia Quado NVS Cards (all models) not sure if this is only happening on other OS's with the same set-up but that's what we've seen. I have since stopped running the upgrade or roll it back on affected machines.
    I wonder if ADOBE knows of the issue and has an update for it.   

    Use the forum for Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 update beschädigt Windows Vista

    Als Neuling gestatte ich mir erstmal die Verwunderung darüber, dass ich von einer deutschen hotline in ein deutsches Forum geschickt werde, in dem scheinbar ausschließlich englisch gesprochen wird?
    Ich kämpfe seit Tagen gegen einen Kundenrechner, mit Vista home - aktuell, geschützt - der durch die Installation des Reader 9.3 updates unbrauchbar wird.
    Alle Programme sind mit dem Reader verknüpft, NICHTS lässt sich starten, da IMMER der Reader 9.3 geöffnet wird, die eula.exe aufruft, die der Reader natürlich auch nicht öffnen kann.
    Nach der Deinstallation des Readers verhält sich das System wieder völlig normal.
    Foxit-Reader z.B. verursacht derlei Probleme nicht.
    Ist das die einzige Möglichkeit, die man in so einem Fall hat?
    Danke im Voraus!
