How can I prevent old version of Lightroom startup

When I startup my Windows XP system my old version of Lightroom -- 1.4.1 -- opens automatically. I use a later version of Lightroom -- 3.4.1. -- and would like neither version to open automatically. How can I achieve this?

Wendell,
There's a system utility msconfig that (among other things) lets you have some control over what gets run at startup.
You can run it from the "Start/Run..." button.
Hmmm...early versions of Lightroom used to have a separate program that started up with the system and waited for you to insert a card with pictures on it, at which point it would fire up Lightroom. The name was apdproxy.exe . It could be that there's something plugged into a USB port that is triggering that. Removing it from starting by running msconfig, would probably solve your problem. Look for it in the Startup tab.

This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.

2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall

Software update killed my ipad. how can i get old version back?

Software update7.1.2 killed my ipad - can i get old version back?

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Did you get an error message or something displayed on the screen?
You need to provide more info than "killed" if you want an answer.

Family hates 1.9 - how can we get old version back?

We live in Mass and got IMG 1.9 two days ago. We can't stand it.
We find the guide and DVR menu is much harder to read; the changed colors and format make it difficult to see at a distance.
And its much slower. We can't click through the guide channels like the previous version. Move of the button presses are ignored, and we can no longer hold it down to quickly scroll through the whole list.
And when using the guide to switch channels, it often disables the volume control after switching the channel. So after going to a new channel we're stuck with whatever volume it has!
I spoke with Tech Support and they did a box "reset" which made no difference. Apparently they've heard many complaints but can't do anything about it.
In a nutshell, we used to be very satisfied but now my whole family hates it, and we're considering changing providers.
I didn't ask for this so-called upgrade and want the old version back. Can someone advise on how to get it back?

we should at least be able to change the colors the blue background really makes it hard to read quickly

How can I restores old version of keynote?

I have uploaded my keynote, but I want return at my old application version. How I can do it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you update Keynote to the most recent version, the old Keynote version is kept in Applications folder. Open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open the Keynote app with the old icon.
You will need to export the documents created with the new Keynote version. Open them and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to > Keynote '09.
Respecting to the new Keynote version, you can delete it or keep it and wait for a Keynote update. I would recommend you to leave it, or the Mac App Store will ask you to update Keynote every time you open it with the update icon

I have so called photo subscription for lightroom and photoshop. How can I get new version of lightroom?

I have a 9.99 subscription for lightroom and photoshop. I only use lightroom and would like to try new version 6, which I think I should be eligible under subscription plan. I can't figure out how to upgrade my existing copy. Creative Cloud doesn't offer this option.

How can I download old versions of the Macromedia software?

Hello again Jeff,
Now I need to reinstall my old Macromedia products (due to a Windows reinstall) and my old installation media (CD) doesn't work. I still have the original serials and I have found the new serials from your link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html for these products, but not the installers.
So could you please post a link to download these old products? I'm specifically looking for these products: Freehand MX, Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Fireworks MX 2004.
Thanks.

Branched this out to a separate discussion. For the Macromedia software it is not necessary to use a volume license version of the install files instead you would utilize the serial number in the documents you have referenced.
I am sorry Tbalint444444 but your current difficulties are due to you no longer having access to the installation media as opposed to the activation server being disabled. There are no plans to make these older software titles available for download.
You may want to try looking at shopping sites were users are possibly trying to sell old copies of their installation media. Please make sure to review their return policy though to help ensure you get the software you are looking for in good condition.

in Safari, certain
characters like hyphens and apostrophes appear as
black diamonds with question marks.
This has nothing to do with fonts. It usually happens when your encoding is set wrong for a specific page. Panther Safari did not show these diamonds, but just displayed nothing, so people get the impression something has changed, but it really hasn't.
In Safari, I'm using Unicode (UTF-8) as my default
encoding. Is this setting correct?
Not if you keep running into pages with black diamonds. It would be better to set your default to Western ISO Latin 1. The black diamonds will probably go away.

You need Lightroom 5.5 or later (the most current version is 5.7.1). This is a free update if you have already purchased an earlier version of Lightroom 5.

When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

To all,
After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
But I whine and digress from my problem:
QUESTION:
When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
Thank you,
Matt

As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?
Thank you,
Matt

How can I prevent Firefox from checking whether Adobe Flash is up to date?

I just updated Flash a week ago and already Firefox is prompting me to replace the update with the message "Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin Adobe Flash from running on" (etc.) How can I prevent Firefox (I'm using version 35.0.1) from running this check forever?

"Add-ons" is a mis-leading term, regarding what appears in the Add-ons Manager tab. "Addons" includes Extensions, Search Engines, Themes (Appearance), User Scripts, Styles, and Services - all of which the "Updates" can be controlled by Firefox preferences. "Plugins" are shown in the AOM too, but unlike the others, Firefox has no control over updates for Plugins. As James mentioned, Plugins aren't installed within Firefox as the other categories of "Add-Ons" are - and updates are controlled by the application that installed the Plugin that Firefox uses from each application's own set of folders or wherever in Windows files the Plugin is placed by the installer.
IMO, the biggest problem with Flash is that it is set by default to only look for an update once a month. So when Adobe updates Flash multiple times a month (3 "updates" in January alone) the Flash updater can'r catch each update as it occurs, or even within an acceptable "window of time". A user might "fall behind" as many as 3 new version releases quite easily.
As far as clicking to "Allow" each video when you're behind a version or two with Flash, at least Mozilla does a "soft block" and permits you to "Allow" - a "hard block" would make it impossible to use Flash at all. And "yes". Mozilla ''can do" a "hard block" when necessary.
In conclusion, Flash is a dying technology, which deserves to be buried. It is too "exploitable" by the "bad guys". All the recent "updates" are for security patches for fixing "holes" in Flash and stability fixes to an old application that "has seen better days" (like 10 years ago).
HTML5 Video looks like the future. Use it where you can, like at YouTube which gives you a choice for many videos they host - but you you need to enable that feature in Google preferences or all you're liable got get is Flash videos. With other websites, their users need to tell them that they want HTML5 videos only.
