Not able to remove/repair reader X

Installed reader X on winxp pro. Immediate problems displaying pdf's - get message that readerX has encountered a problem and must close. When attempting to repair/remove and re-download, get win intaller message - patch package could not be opened - and the process quits. New download attempt senses exisiting version and will not download and over-write. Same with downloading older versions. Now have an unusable installation and no apparent method to delete. Any suggestions?

You could try using the Windows  Installer Cleanup Utility to remove all  traces of any existing versions  of Reader.  This utility is no longer  supported by Microsoft because it can conflict with Win 7,  but you  can  still find it in sites like http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459

  • Not able to remove 'emtpy home' directory entry

    Hi
    I'm trying to remove an Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 installation on a Linux system. My problem is, that I'm not able to remove an 'empty home' directory with the installer. The button 'Remove..' is grayed out.
    The reason why I want to remove that directory is, that I want to do an installation into this directory again. But the requirements check of the installation fails because of this 'empty home' directory (which is actually deleted on the file system).
    Does someone know where this information is stored on the filesystem or how I can force the installer to install in this directory anyway? BTW: I have also a 9.2 installation on the same system, but that's probably no problem.
    Thanks!

    Has this database been upgraded via the patch process? If so, run the installer from the patch directory, you can often get to the uninstall from there. It all has to do with oracle inventory and what it sees as your most recent install. After you have done the uninstall/remove, you can just go delete the directory and remaining contents -- there will not be much left.

    Hi I was having the same problem using ADE 2.0.
    I contacted the LiveChat support (link button did not show when using Firefox 31), which gave me this link. http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/error-e_act_not_ready.html 
    After I edited the Registry and then restarted ADE I was able to ReAuthorize my machine.  Hope this works for you.

  • Java aplication not able to detect card reader sometimes

    Hi
    We have a Java application (jre1.6.0_05.) which runs as window service under "Local System". It tries to detect card reader after every one minute. Normally it is working fine. However on some machines (which can be Windows XP, 2003 Server etc) some times it is not able to detect Card Reader, while other applications (which are not Java based) are able to detect. Sometimes service restart helps in solving the issue, but it reoccurs again after few hours/days.
    Below is the exception we get:
    javax.smartcardio.CardException: list() failed
    at sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCTerminals.list(PCSCTerminals.java:109)
    at javax.smartcardio.CardTerminals.list(CardTerminals.java:55)
    Below is the code we are using to get list of terminals:
    TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();
    try {
    terminals = factory.terminals().list();
    } catch (CardException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }Any idea what might be causing this random problem?

    Hi,
    According to the source for OpenJDK 6 (b19) the only way to get the exception you posted was with a PCSCException being thrown with the root exception wrapped in the new exception.
    // from PCSCTerminals.list(State state)
    try {
        // do some stuff to get the reader list
    } catch (PCSCException e) {
        throw new CardException("list() failed", e);
    }If this was not the case in the version you have, you will definitely see the root cause with the new JDK.
    Cheers,
    Shane

  • Not able to remove the ABAP code from Transformation

    Hello Experts,
    We have transformation for DSO in that for one infoobject, field routine is written, Break Point is hard coded there and it's move to production. Now we are trying to remove that break point from development and then move it production.
    we are doing following activity to remove the break point.
    1. Open the transformation.
    2. Open the field routine.
    3. Going to ABAP code in field  routine.
    4. Remove the hard coded Break Point from ABAP code.
    5. Saving the code.
    6. It's taking to again filed routine window.
    7. We close the window and activate the transformation.
    8. When again check the ABAP code in field routine then it shows hard coded Break Point again.
    9. Not able to remove the hard coded break point.
    Can anyone know how to do this.

    As pointed above, after point 6 don't simply close the window but click on Transfer Value and then activate your transformation. Refresh the system and check again.

  • Not able to remove items from initiative

    Can someone kindly help, as to what might be preventing from removing items from initiatives.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Hi,
    If you want to remove the Items from Intiative , you need remove the relationships object . Not possible to delete directly !
    Steps :
    Navigate to the Relationships tab , then go to the Sub tab Related Objects , select the Item  and click Delete Assignment. You will remove the Item from Initiative dashboard !
    Hope it works for you !

  • Not able to use Adobe Reader all the time

    I have a coworker who gets PDF documents in her email all the time (multi times daily). These could be POs, they could be requests, they could be most anything.
    Here is the troubles ... For the last few weeks to a month she has been able to open and save as for most of the documents she gets. However, this is not the case with all the files. Some will open but not allow her to save. When she tries to go to save as, the computer freezes up on her.
    I've checked all her windows updates, adobe updates, etc.This doesn't seem to help the issue any. We've uninstalled adobe reader X (which is what she had most recently with the issue), removed ALL adobe products off the computer, restarted the computer, and then re-downloaded & installed adobe X again. However, when I got back to my desk, there was a message saying that it had happened again.
    Computer is running Win XP. Adobe X. All windows updates were completed as of this morning.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Don't worry about the 20 questions thing ... I didn't know what else to put that would be helpful at the beginning.
    As for what file(s) - it is always PDF docs, but not always the same doc, some small in size, some not so small. For example, if she opens file A, she can view/save. Then opens file B, which will not save. Go back in and file B opens/saves.
    As for what program created the PDF, that I don't know.
    We use Lotus Note as our email client.

  • I am not able to download adobe reader

    I receive an error message saying that there is another download in progress, but I am not able to find another download, and I have not idea how to stop the other download if there is one.  I have tried restarting my computer, using another browser, and looking to find another download.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
