Icons changing when downloading reader, why?

When I download any version of reader, all my desktop icons change to PDF icons. Running Windows 7. What's happening?

I don't know the why, but this should be useful for correcting the problem:

When downloading Reader 8.0 a message SGC15.exe

When I download Reader 8.0 there is a message from McAfee that there is a trojan horse SGC15.exe with is blocked by McAfee.
Why ????? this message from the Adobe site.

It may be a false report, this happens all the time with anti-virus.
So long as people report this sort of thing to the anti-virus maker it
is usually sorted out quickly. Start by updating the Mcafee stuff.
This was seen at least six months ago, so it should be sorted by now.
If that doesn't help, double check that you are on the real Adobe
site, not an imposter trying to deliver bad software (this can
happen). Go to http://www.adobe.com/acrobat/readstep.html to download.
If that still doesn't help either
(a) contact McAfee for help or
(b) temporarily switch it off to get Reader loaded.

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)

Does ATT icon change when not on their home network?

Since the ATT contract only allows a limited amount of off network phone use, does anyone now how to tell if I'm out of their network?
Right now, I'm in Vermont which according to AT&T's coverage maps isn't part of their home network, but my iPhone is showing AT&T with five bars.
Does the icon change to a roaming icon or to an extended network icon if you aren't in an AT&T home network?

Bumping this since people now have more time with
iPhones. Has anyone seen the ATT network icon change
to roaming or anything when you are not on ATT's home
network? I think I live on the edge of an ATT and an
extended ATT network provider. I don't want to lose
my contract if I make too many calls on the wrong
side of town, but the icon never changes. If it shows
ATT then can I assume I'm on their home network?

Well, as long as you can call, you're either on their network or you're on one that has a roaming agreement. Cingular/AT&T has wide coverage, so I'm not sure where you'd find it. I'll be going to Europe soon (and I am going to get tons of questions from the locals I'm sure)--when I had other phones that always showed T-Mobile, when I got there it would show Orange, T-Mobile, Vodaphone, whatever. It was cool.
That will be the best test.

What is the second exe file when downloading Reader 11.0.3 and what is it used for?

I downloaded Reader 11.0.3 for Windows 8 yesterday and in doing so it tried to download a 2nd exe file. When I googled the name of the 2nd exe some sites said it is a virus (so I cancelled the download of the 2nd exe). Is it a virus or what is it? I don't have the file name with me but will post it later when I have the file name.

Thanks for the info,but before selecting "download now" I unchecked the "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional" box so if that is what it is, then it should not have tried to download. It prompted for a run or save on the first download, I installed the first download and after it completed, then a run or save prompt came up for Install_reader11_en_gtbd_chrd_dn_aaa_aih.exe. Since I didn't choose to install anything else and I didn't know what it was, I ggogled it and a number of sites had hits for it, including the forums here where others were complaining that they couldn't install or uninstall reader with that exe running in background. Other links said it was a trojan horse, loaded viruses, etc. so I didn't save or run it. The first of the two exe downloads installed reader and it seems to work fine though.

Why does order of apps and folders change when downloading new apps?

Since I've downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4s, whenever I download a new app, it goes at the beginning of page 2 on my desktop which of course changes the order of all the apps and folders. It didn't do this with iOS 5. It is a real pain. Is there some way to change it back to the way it used to be on iOS 5?
Thank you.

I think that I did that. I checked the arrow to point up on the numerical listing of the tracks. When I "burn" the CD, it shows them being written in order, but when the entire thing is completed and I go to the actual CD, they are all out of order.

Why doesn't the icon change when I go to different websites-example yahoo doens't change to the purpe circle with the y inside?

When I pull up mozilla, I have a gray circle in front of the att homepage. When I go to yahoo, this icon doesn't change to the purple circle. The gray circle remains in the address bar before any website . -possibly only unsecured websites since I see that I have a picture of a lock when I was directed to this website. This recently happened and it occurs every time I pull up the browser.

I have been going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong. I was ready to take my computer in. Thanks so much for informing me of this -now I can rest easy . have a great day. Angela

PDF icon changed after deploying Reader 9.4.0 though Group Policy

I extracted the .msi from the Reader 9.4.0 .exe, and deployed the software through group policy. Everthing works fine except now all .pdf icons show as a different Adobe icon, as opposed to the usual white icon with the red cursive "A" and the little red "pdf" box along the top left. However, if manually install the program using the .msi, the icon issue does not happen. There is nothing in the custimization Wizard for this, and I am hesitant to use Orca to try and change the .msi. The file association in windows is correct, just the icon has changed. Please help

I did the same as you.
// Open the field to allow user entries
NumericField1.access = "open";
// Allow override, means you will not get an error message when the calculated value is changed
NumericField1.calculate.override = "disabled";
NumericField1.value.float.value = "0";
Restore original state of the field.
NumericField1.access = "readOnly"
NumericField1.calculate.override = "error"
NumericField1.rawValue = null
NumericField1.execCalculate()
But you're right, the restore does not work.
I tested execEvent("calculate") and execCalculate() with no avail.
Very odd!

I accidentally clicked "do not ask me this again" about forcing an extension change when downloading. How do i get firefox to ask me this again?

I was using download helper and a box usually pops up that asks me if i want to force an extension change. I clicked the wrong box and then clicked "do not ask me this again". I would like to get the box back so i can change the setting.

This could be a setting in the add-on. In some cases, you can access an add-on's setting from its icon on the Add-on Bar. In other cases, you can access it from here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Look for the add-on's "Options" button
Any luck?

Icons change after downloading itunes

once itunes is finished downloading and loads on my computer it changes all my other icons to the itunes logo. wondering how i can restore these icons to original format.

Hiya Katrina! I might have accidentally made some progress on this one yesterday.
Every time I've seen it reported and I've tried to do some work on it, it has only affected one user account on the PC.
So ... it might be related to a damaged icon cache for the affected user account. (There's one of those for each different user account on the PC. This is what I accidentally learned yesterday while trying to research a fix for a slightly different problem.)
If that's what is going on, rebuilding the icon cache might get folks past it:
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista /
... Trouble is that that's all educated(?) guesswork/speculation, and the procedure looks a bit hairy. It's the sort of thing where I'd definitely be setting a System Restore Point for the system prior to giving it a go.

Source system icons changes when connecting SAP BW to mySAP ERP 2004

Hi,
Just an Interesting observation in relation to the creation of source systems in SAP BW to SAP Web AS 6.40 based systems (mySAP ERP 2004, mySAP SRM, etc).
I thought it would be interesting to share!
The behavior is logical but can be a surprise for a BW administrator who is not aware of the new internal SAP BW systems within mySAP ERP 2004.
Scenario:
The customer was connecting a stand-alone BW system to two new systems with latest and greatest mySAP ERP 2004 (ECC 5.00) and mySAP SRM.
Observation:
In the past the SAP R/3 source system would be created with a "SAP R/3 icon" indicating a SAP Source system.
As of mySAP ERP 2004, the source systems will be created in the SAP BW standalone system with the "SAP BW System icon".
Note: This is also the same behavior for new releases of mySAP SRM, and other SAP applications that are based on SAP Web AS 6.40 or greater
Why?:
The standalone SAP BW system is connecting to a system that contains an internal SAP BW system. The standalone SAP BW system determines that it is possible to extract both from the internal BW System and from the Plug-in extractors. It simply denotes that this source system is a SAP BW system and uses the BW Source system icon. (Remember SAP BW is client independent*!).
Note: This behavior will still occur even if you do not use the internal SAP BW system within mySAP ERP! It is there whether you use it or not.
Second Note: You can still use the ERP Content extractors from the mySAP ERP Source System as you did in prior releases.
Another related observation:
I would expect that this case will probably be true even if you only use the internal SAP BW.
Scenario: You use the internal SAP BW in another client in the mySAP ERP system than your ERP processing.
Result: The connection between the BW client and the ERP client source system(s) (i.e. client 001 for ERP, client 100 for BW), both the 'myself' and ERP client source systems, will show up as BW source systems!
Source system 001 and source system 100 will be displayed as SAP BW icons because SAP BW is client independent*
user master and authorizations are client dependent
I hope this was interesting.
Cheers,
Mike.

Hello Matt,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
