How to disable Adobe Gamma in Windows 7?

I have a new PC running Windows 7 and a new monitor. I want to color-calibrate the monitor using Spyder3, as I've done in the past with Windows XP. I cannot, however, locate Adobe Gamma in the msconfig "Startup" folder on Windows 7 to de-activate it. Has it been eliminated? Can I run the calibration program without taking this step? Many thanks in advance.

I'm loading CS5 (upgraded from CS3). It's the computer OS that I've had to remove it from before - and it doesn't appear in the Startup folder, unlike in Windows XP's system. (Or in the Control Panel, although there is a "Color Management" folder that lists color profiles I've downloaded from Epson when I downloaded my printer drivers for Windows 7).
So I guess Windows 7 doesn't include it, and I am free to do my calibration. Adobe's tech support phone line is closed for the weekend so I am turning to you forum experts. There must be someone out there who has encountered this in setting up a new computer system and loading PS onto it. Thanks for the input from both you and John.

How to disable Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader in Safari

How do I disable Adobe Acrobat Reader to prevent Safari from using it to open PDFs? I have Safari 7.0.5, OS X v10.9.4. FYI, there is nothing in my User> HD> Library> Internet Plugins folder. And I've already right clicked on a PDF in Finder and selected the option to always use Preview to open PDFs. But Safari still opens PDFs with Acrobat Reader. Thanks

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Help~How to disable Adobe Updater in Reader 8.*/9.*?

Does anyone here know how to disable the Adobe Updater by registry or Group Policy?(if possible)
I won't like to manually disable them by "Help" -> "Check for updates"
The following registry key only works in 6.*/7.*
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater]
"bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
"bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
"iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
Help~

I don't know where that preference item is stored. But if it's in the registry, I would do the following if I were in your situation.
*export the entire registry
*set the no-update preference, according to Aaron's suggestion
*export the entire registry again (to a different name)
*compare the two files (e.g. with windiff); that should show you what's changed in the registry

How to disable swapfile.sys on Windows 8?

It's possible to disable pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys, however, there does not appear to be information on how to disable
swapfile.sys.
The file swapfile.sys appears to be an additional paging file from Metro and I'd like to know if there is a way to disable it as well.

hiberfile is EASY to get rid of
1) disable fast start up
2) disable hibernation
3) disable hybrid sleep (this trips up most people) as hybrid sleep writes all the data as IF it's going to hibernate but then goes to sleep. This is in case of power failure. Then the system can resume from a hibernated state with no data/session loss
No reason to disable pagefile.sys, it's been proven OVER and OVER that 100% disabling the pagefile system does more harm than good and creates instability in windows - even if you had 64TB of RAM.. many programs actually use and REQUIRE the pagefile to page
out code thats idle.
Even just a minimal 400MB pagefile on the C: drive will keep windows happy. That lets it make a mini dump if needed and allows programs that req a swap file to function normally.
Swapfile.sys, you can not turn off. That's just part of Windows 8. I'm not sure WHY it's there.. I loaded a TON of metro apps, and they hogged 6GB of memory, and they were being swapped to my PAGEFILE. So I'm not understanding what it's there for

Screen Calibration using Adobe Gamma in Windows XP

How do you effectively calibrate the screen in XP using Adobe Gamma?
I notice that when I work on photos in Photoshop in XP, the colours are very different when I open the JPEGs or RAW back in Mac OS or on any other monitor

When you calibrate the screen using system preferences->displays->colors->calibrate display, the calibration states that the gamma setting is different for a Mac than a PC. Macs native gamma is set at 1.8 whle the PC standard is 2.2. You should create a calibration profile calling it a "PC Display" or something easily remembered, then activate that screen setting and reboot in Windows

How to disable the new logon Window in Adobe Reader 11?

Some times, some corporate guys get an idea - and no one is around to stop them.
For some reason, there's now a logon window in Adobe Reader taking up 1/3 of the screen...and it can't be disabled. Which mor....person...ever thought of something like this?
So my natural question: how does one disable it? And how can this setting be spread out through a Windows domain? Is there any registry setting which can be used to disable it?

Can you post a screenshot of that logon panel? Never seen that before...

How to disable adobe flash in chrome and use windows adobe X

I keep getting "shockwave flash has crashed" and was told to disable flash player in chrome, but when I do that, videos won't play. I DO have Adobe X installed but chrome won't use it. However, just having it seems to cause a conflict. I have Windows 7 office and Adobe flash player 17 Active X. thanks.

How to disable webview cache for Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime universal app?

Is it possible to disable cache for the Webview control for a Windows Phone 8.1 runtime universal app? My App seems to be remembering the information it received the first time. My app logs me into a service and when I go back to rerun app in the emulator
(without completing shutting down the emulator) it logs me in automatically rather than giving me the prompt. This behavior is in the NavigationCompleted handler if that helps explain a bit more on where I am hitting this issue.
If I were to shut off the emulator completely and then restart it then I am prompted for the login name and password again. I have gotten over this cache issue, when I was using the HttpClient in other part of my app, by sending the no-cache in the header
as:
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
Can I do something similar for the webview control?
thanks
mujno

Hi mujno,
As I know currently there is no programmatically way to clean cache for WebView, see Matt's blog:How to clear the WebView cache
However if you are developing an enterprise app, you should be able to invoke some scripts to clean for you, see this for more information:Brokered

How to disable Adobe 11 features in its installation: annotations / markups / commenting / stamps?

From Adobe Reader 11 installation / configuration / group policy, how can we prevent corperate users, using the installation, to mess up with any PDF document and re-distributed it in an organization's installation?
The Adobe Reader 10 and 11 are now capable of adding annotations, comments, stamps, and even eSign the original PDF; We would like to disable those features so that the internal users can not mess up the PDF files using Adobe Readers 11.
Thanks.

This thread is pretty old, are you still having this issue?

How to disable adobe reader in safari

I am aware there is this thread on basically the same problem How can I regain Preview as my default PDF browser in Safari?.
However my circumstances are a bit different.
One of my content vendors uses FileOpen to lock their PDFs and that is why I even bothered to install adobe (v10.1.4). Thru the install process I was careful not to have adobe become the default viewer by checking all the relevant boxes I saw.
When I go to Finder and doubleclick on a PDF, they are still opened by Preview. Right click->Get Info does show Preview as default viewer.
However in Safari, Adobe has taken over despite in Adobe->Preferences->display pdf in browser is not only unchecked but grayed out. But even though grayed out, right below that checkbox shows Adobe Reader.app is the browser view and I see no way of changing it.
In Library/Internet Plug-ins there are NO pdf plug ins. In fact I have only a single one (picasa).
I am not aware how to get to Username/Library/Internet Plug-ins as the reference thread talks about.
Whatever the solution, I still need adobe working on my machine otherwise I cannot view the content from that one vendor.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Message was edited by: quatrieme to clarify Adobe->Preferences settings

thanks, Linc. interesting suggestion. It shows the following unfortunately. The background: I initially installed adobe reader 11.0.01 but discovered the production version of FileOpen does not work with it. So I uninstalled it and installed 10.1.4 instead. But looks like some parts of it lingers.
