Help - I cannot de-instal Adobe 8 from my computer - but I also cannot print anything today -

I am a not very experienced home computer user.  I only ever instal updates to Adobe reader when told to.  Today I am getting messages saying Adobe cannot be opened - and I cannot now print my gas bill !   I have tried to de-instal from control panel on my computer and the  following message comes up:
I am getting messages saying there is a problem with Adobe and I cannot then print the item I want.  I have tried to de-instal the product in order to re-instal and I get a message saying '/This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you cannot access it, or contact the vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package'. 
I have no idea what this means !
  I have tried to search the Adobe site for over an hour to find advice - we are using Windows XP and the free
version of Adobe - updating when told to.
Please advise with simple explanations for rectifying this problem.  Thanks

Maybe its not compatible with  with your program as its not compatible with Vista,,,,,,,
I have run the cleaner hoping  it helps delete my Photoshop CS6 from my laptop....
The problem I encountered turned out to be because I have Vista on my laptop with 4 mbs memory.
Nowhere does it say you cannot use photoshop with Vista...and that 8 mbs of memory is required.
I have encountered numerous problems and now cannot restore my computer or uninstall Photoshop.
Its one huge mess
I have purchased a new computer with windows 7 and am having it set up by a technician right now but I still want this computer working too...
I still cannot delete Photoshop though I have tried and tried...and I cannot afford to pay him more to fix this computer up too...so I have to do it alone
The latest programs require 8 mbs of memory and Windows 7

    Installation assistance from Adobe is free. They can make sense out of the message you got. I would contact them.

  • I installed 4.0 and cannot print anything. I uninstalled and installed 3.6 and cannot print anything. Everything has a .tif extension and wants me to save the file and I just want to print a selection from my email!

    I have had nothing but grief since I upgraded to 4. It is hateful. I can't print anything. If I highlight something from a website or my email and tell the printer to just print the selection, it doesn't print. It wants me to save the the file and they all have a .tif extension and nothing will print. I have uninstalled 4 and gone back to 3.6 and the problem is still there. If I highlight the desired selection and copy it to Word 2003, it will print what I want, but I can't print anything from the browser itself. That is the only problem I'm aware of so far. I upgraded about a week ago at most, maybe less than that. I'm so sorry I did. Why can't I print anything? I don't want my selection to be a file, I just want it to print!

    Thank you, but it didn't work. My printer stays on away, independently of the PC. I can print from Chrome and IE7 with no problem but not Firefox. The .tif extension refers to a tagged image something. I went looking around in the control panel and I found that Microsoft Office has it's own Access Snapshot Viewer. My company installed Office 2003 on my PC but I only use Word in my work. This snapshot viewer was listed in the control panel under Printers and Faxes. It was not the default anything but for some reason, Firefox 4 installation must have kicked it into gear. I've had the Office software for several months with not one problem. I have Firefox4 for less than a week and everything becomes difficult. I deleted the Office snapshot viewer (hope I don't get fired for it) so my little HP printer is the only one listed and now things seem to be working okay. I have FF 3.6 back up and running. I didn't lose any data and I hope the support and security updates stay available for a long time because it seems like there are plenty of people who aren't in love with FF4. Thank you so much anyway for your help.

  • Uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded

    uninstalled epson printer from control panel...installed new brother printer....now i cannot print anything .pdf old or newly downloaded@

    For starters, what exactly do you mean by "cannot print"?
    Are you getting an error message? Are you trying to print from within Reader or are you opening these in the browser? What version of Reader. Even though it's a new printer, the drivers that came with it (or the ones that were already on your computer) may be old so, have you downloaded the most recent drivers from the Brother site?

  • I have an hp deskjet f4235. i cannot print anything from my computer.

    I have Windows Vista Home premium and an HP Deskjet F4235 I cannot print anything from my computer. The page comes out blank except for a page number at the top and a file number and date at the bottom. I have wireless now but do not remember if this problem occurred before or after installation. I have unplugged the wireless for 5 minutes and replugged it. I have turned off the printer and restarted it. Nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi. The DJ F4235 is not a wireless printer. Best option I can suggest on the information provided is to disconnect the USB cable connection and uninstall any software that you may have attempted to install. You can do this by add/remove programs from the Control Panel. Please ensure to only remove the HP DJ F4235 software ONLY however.
    You will be prompted to reboot after the uninstall to complete the task, please do so. Verify that the printer is uninstalled by viewing the printers control panel - it should no longer be listed as an available printer?
    Next, download this latest software for your printer and Windows OS --> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-59236-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
    Ensure to follow all onscreen prompts and do not attempt to connect the printer until you are asked to do so (it will be towards the end of the software install).
    I am an HP employee.
    Feel free to provide Kudos if I have helped you!

  • I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

    i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
    did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
    thanks for your help

    It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

  • Recently bought new printer. All works fine with one OSX user. However, cannot print anything on other OSX user, including cannot print Adobe PDFs or to new printer. Puzzling!

    computer = Mac PowerPC G5
    OS = 10.4.11
    Adobe Acrobat 7
    HP laserjet M1212nf
    I recently bought a new HP printer. I was on an admin user when I installed it. All works fine with this admin account/user. I can print to the HP, print to Adobe PDFs.
    However, when I then go over to another user account, I cannot print *anything*. I cannot print to Adobe PDF, cannot print to the new HP. If I try to print an excel file, it says "cannot communicate with the printer" along with some useless suggestions. If I try to print a page on FireFox, nothing happens. That is, sure I get the usual dialog box, click the appropriate choice of printer, click the number of copies, then click the OK button ... and nothing happens. No pdf process is started. Nothing is sent to the HP printer.
    The fact that both printer options are not working suggests it is some kind of OS problem, not specific to either printer "device".
    Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit leery of trying that. I would think that if the driver was not installed, then none of my users could use the printer. However, both admin users can use the new printer. The list of available printers is:
    Adobe PDF 7.0
    New HP Printer
    I also used to have Old HP Printer, which I  removed. Before, Users A, B and C could use both the Adobe PDF and the Old HP printers. Then, after I added the New HP Printer, it showed up in the list of printers for all three users. However, after I added the new printer, only the two admin accounts, users A and C, can actually print anything. Both users A and C can use the Adobe PDF printer AND the New HP Printer. But I get error messages with user B, for both the Adobe PDF printer and the New HP Printer.
