Not nice, Adobe

I'm running Windows 2000 sp4.
Up to just recently, my system was a perfectly running machine.
After updating to the latest version of flashplayer [as prompted internally from the adobe reminder], my entire system is mucked.
I cannot open a folder or an app without getting memory or paging file errors everywhere. My system is essentially non-functional. My error log is filled with errors, both system and application.
I start thinking, oh crap, my hard drive is gone.
Lucky for me, I have been a subscriber to Norton Ghost for over a decade. I have a full uncorrupted clone of my C drive on my D drive, which is a second physical hard drive. I clone back and reboot and all is well, UNTIL that Adobe Reminder comes back up. I tell the reminder to "remind me later," but it makes no difference ; something is set in motion and again the entire phenomenon repeats itself. I clone back again, and this time I stay off the internet completely and just use the system for a few hours to show that the hard drive is working properly. I then reconnect to the internet and things seem ok until the reminder comes back up, and then I am toast again. I clone back yet again, and this time, I remove flashplayer completely from my system before getting on the internet.
This time, all is well and I can surf fine, all issues resolved, no errors, no nothing, just my happy system as it has always been except that I can no longer view flash content on web pages.
I've got IE6 and Firefox 3.5.3 at the moment, but I don't think that flash even had time to interact with them. Just the very sign of the reminder mechanism from within the Adobe software was enough to bring my system to its knees, and so I ask you people . . .
What the HELL are you doing over there ?

My deepest apologies.
Your flash player IS working fine.
I failed to notice that I was also updating my Norton AV virus defs around the same time.
I have SAV Corp 9 on Win2Ksp4 and this may sound bizarre, and I have no proof other than what actually transpires, but I believe that the size of my virus definition files have exceeded the ability of the antivirus engine to handle them, and memory-wise, the engine has reached "critical mass" and is flipping out.
It is fouling my entire machine.
If I clone back, update the flash player, even get on the net, the computer is happy. The instant I update the NAV def files to the current date, baboom, my system crumbles.
I am not someone so proud as to not apologize, and since I lambasted you in public, I apologize in public, and I thank you for responding to my post.
Now, it's off to give Norton some grief !!!!!!!!!!!
hehe
Happy Thanksgiving to all !

A Note to Adobe About Online Everything

I work for a government agency in software packaging for mass deployment and for the obvious reasons, direct internet access for any reason is strictly prohibited. And as this is obvious, you would think that companies that develop software would understand the needs of their customers in this regard and make it easy to configure their software for offline only use.
Well, this is not the case when it comes to Adobe. I spend most of my packaging time configuring and "fixing" their improperly developed software. I waste hours learning how to develope Java Scripts just so I can configure help files to be local rather than online.
So my note to Adobe... Please don't release your applications without the features they used to have like offline everything.

I agree with you, what is confusing to me and what is only confusing is that there is work going on for this device, the leaks are proof, but no communication about it at all and denying it is frustrating. What is worrying me is that there have been leaks of gingerbread for the fascinate, but it still does not have it. So I am thinking we are going to end up like the fascinate, but some communication from verizon our samsung sure would be nice and end my confusion as to why there are leaks of it but no updates to a "flagship" droid phone and then denying it is being worked on. Just tell us it is and maybe why it is taking so long, I can understand that, I can live with that. Just be straight up about it, denying it and providing no information is what is frustrating. If gingerbread is too much much for this phone just say so, our if there are still problems to be worked out, just say so. How about just a few bug fixes for an update then when you can get to it?? A lil support of this phone would be great.

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.

My not nice story with Nokia Booklet 3G, polish st...

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to present my story brieflywith NOKIA service- Regenersis Company (Warsaw).
I have bought netbook Nokia Booklet 3G on 08/08/2010.I was fascinated with this machine (due to the advertisement, what later turned to be my curse, and despite the price I have bought it in EuroAGD shop, based on Lipowa Street, in Gliwice.
I have decided to start it off a few days after (as known updates require time, and on the top of that also need good internet connection , and my internet provider was facing some difficulties these days).I realized in few minutes that WLAN connection i snot working properly ( I use home router, operating together with Windows 7 standards).My netbook was not able to connect to my internet network and others stay ,,invisible,,to it.Ommiting such a small issue, I got to conclusion :if version of the ,,Starter,, system is so poor, I will purchuase Windows7 Pro hoping it will change everything.Unfortunately, it was not the way I wished.Despite the fact I have tried to make some free space in panel, WLAN card appeared useless.I admitt I work as a driver and WiFi connection is essential for my work when abroad, as roaming prices are too high.Because of this, I have decided to complain Booklet.It is Nokia so I will not be a problem.
First I had to find out what are where, so I called Nokia Care.I was informed my problem will be solved on the spotin any Nokia Department ( Gliwice, Chorzow or Katowice).
How surpriced was I when Nokia Department told me totally oposite- Booklet has to be sent to Warsaw.Unfortunetely Departments are open on the week days only, and I go back to Poland on Saturdays, I have no other option than complain it at the shop.
I started realize how difficult it is going to be on 25/09/2010 ( did not expect it would be that difficult).Well, shop manager was ,,molesting ,,me asking why I want to complain Booklet in HIS shop, while there is Nokia Department in Gliwice.I was explaining it is my business why here, thefore I said because of my working hours ( he did not mind to mention any member of my family could complain but as I wish MY complain instead of two weeks at Nokia service, will take up to one month here!
Complain was legallu based on warranty ( which I have regreted after).
I searched fro any infromation about my Booklet on the EuroAGD website.On 15/10/2010 I made a call to the call center and I got informed my machine is back to the shop, and the website is not updated yet.I run to the shop the same day.Stresful situation again, as shop manager looked at me, at warranty papers and opened his eyes wide.He did not know anything about my Booklet, which supposed to return from service.I was waiting over 30 minutes, trying to figure out who an why would treat me lieke a fool.
After all they found it!Staff members foung it somewhere in the storage…I signed the papers, checked the box and…
here it started my agony with Regeneresis Company (Warsaw)!Here comes what I have read in service report:
,,Dear Costumer,
During servicing your machine ,claimed problem did not appear…( and here comes the best part)…long term tests run by out technicians did not confirm the issue.Machine works.
I have dropped my jews!How could it work???- standard router, 100% of signal strenght, available to half of my neighbourhood but I am not able to work on my machine 4 meters from the router!There was nothing I could at the time to confirm receiving my Booklet but with the complain due to the way of proceeding the complain.I have checked the system at home (angry) and all my nerves started to be relesed…: lond term tests- all 4 minutes in total, together withseconds it takes to switch it on and off!!!
I called Nokia on Monday: here lady on the phone completely calm informed me, she has no clue about the repair, and I need to contact with the service.
Ok, I wrote first email to get explaination from Regeneresis- NO REPLY.Second email-STILL NO REPLY!
Then I emailed Nokia Poland and EuroAGD.
Then I decided to make a request to the way of servicing ( by calling Regenersis) and again was ignored. Lady on the phone told me, I should contact them via email, as she does not know any detail of servicing and contact with technician i snot possible.
When for the THIRD time I wrote to Regenersis, claiming if I do not not get the expertise of the tests of my card I will sue them in the court, finnaly I got the answer:
,, We hereby apologise for any inconvieniencedue to the wrong expertise, we are very sorry to hear about not detected problem in your Booklet.We kindly request to pass your machine to the service point again.
So all good! But I did not wish to argue with shop manager again AND wait for the nest weeks.I called Regenersis Company one more time to contact person responsible for quality control ( it took me few long calls).
Finally , when we started the conversation I requested that they will pick michine from me and on their own cost, as I do not have time either not in mood to deal with this as they made a mistake.
Case was closed, and I hoped this time it will be sorted out.Ho wfool was I?!
I have received the message from Nokia Care Poland on 26/10/2010:
,,Concerning complain nr 88/44/2010.
Thank you for document sent on 15/10/2010 and also 15/10/2010.In return to your complain, according to thewarranty service repair, Booklet 3G IMEI nr 35823/1030270606 by Authorized Nokia Service Center- Regenersis ( Warsaw), we would like to inform , that due to the leak of documentation it is not possible to proceed with decision.
We also explain, that all complains due to the terms of warranty are taken under consideration after receiving copy of purchuase together with service repair copy.To check your claim in details, please fax above documents on the number below: 0225419800 or via email [email protected].,,
It is true I did not send any scans, but all information: reports numbers, dates and so on i sent, so in th eera of telephones, computers it i snot a problem to get interested if company is providing good service and if it is in the good name of Nokia.I have dropped this after all contact I had with Complain Department of Nokia Poland. I knew it had no sense.
I have received next reply from EuroAGD on 29/10/2010:
,,Dear Sir,
In return to your message, we inform, that expertise at service did not confirm any problems in work of machine.During tests any issues did not occur. We inform complain was due to the warranty, and warranty is a legal base responsible for censiderating and decisions taken to close the complain.Seller always bases on opinions of authorized warranty service.,,
This was not surprise!but I was just disapointed that even they were not interested to do anything about it, even when I have presented them incompetence of the service (monitor screens, where system diary was shown!).
Courier pick up the Booklet on 25/10/2010.
At the time I sent all screens of analize of software monitoring LAN network as well as information about another problem in Booklet!!!
Bios started to stop to workand the whole machine slown down so drastic that to start system off was taking over 5 minutes!
Above person once a week to get any infromation.It was taking hours.
Next call to Regenersis and Nokia Care Poland, and this time Nokia- lady accepted a complain based on IMEI number , but nothing happened after.
Booklet came back to me at the beginning of November, enclosinf report saying:
,, We inform, during servicing the repair was run according to the producent procedure.Machine works.,,
True, Bios was working- hard discexchenged, new preinstalled Windows7 Starter, but WLAN card still not working!!!This time it cuts signal untill -55dB,in some way this was a succes but internet connection was not possible.
Booklet went again with courier to Warsaw on 29/11/2010.This time not to be repaired but for the expertise to replace machine fro the new one.Control Department said it will take no longer than 1,5 weeks ( optymistic- I thought).
I contacted the same person on 13/12/2010.Unfortunetely a complain cannot be done this way, so I have to do this in person in the shop, and Regenersis will send back machine together with expertise, which is already done, but I cannot receive it ( available fro the seller only).I went to the shop on 19/12/2010.I was getting upset again as shop manager said he will not accept a complain without a Booklet!Explaining that machine will arrive ditect to them and that this fact should be added in documentation gave nothing.I got strict answer:Booklet has to be brought in person, then sent to service for the expertise and with new expertise and the Booklet back, they have 14 days to consider replacement- consider does not mean I got one.
I called Regenersis again on 20/12/2010 and explained what and why.I got information Booklet will be send the same day, and as they will receive a request from the seller, they will also send expertise vi aregistered letter.Hoping that the parcel will arrive the next day, and considerating EuroAGD procedure, these 14 days means decision would be at the begining of 2011.How wrong was I?!
On 23/12/2011,at 09:00 my Booklet was still on the shelf in Regenersis Company (Chmas begins tomorrow, I honestly doubt that Booklet I have bought in August 2010 will get back to me in January 2011!!!
Today, on 28/12/2011Booklet was returned to EuroAGD and sent back to Regeneris Company. And I don’t know how long its going to take again.
Best Regards.

Yep **bleep** in Poland are not nice! I remember times when our tourist busses, cars and so on were robbered on your roads
Ok, I had similar problem. Solved it just after one day without any strees and extra work - just changed my old wi-fi router (because I was able to connect to my neighbors wi-fi). Simple - just try other wi-fi. Don`t try to re-bild Nokia factory in Chine, try to use compliable router.
My noncompliable router was Netgear with only b/g networks. Don`t remember model.

Can not update Adobe Reader or Adobe Lightroom 5 as they did not come through Apple App Store. Note says I selected not to accept apps other than from Apple. Just started backing up new Iphone and Ipad to Macbook Pro. Is there a setting some where that would allow updates?

Yes there is a setting for that. Open system preferences go to the security & privacy sections, click the lock icon and type in your password. Then in the "Allow applications downloaded from: area tick Anywhere.

It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

Adobe Captivate is the one but it's not in the Cloud. Camstudio is also very good at that.

Dan,
The only safe way is to erase the volume and reinstall SL. Then use setup assistant to migrate your data from a Snow Leopard Time machine or clone backup.
