Problems with msi gf gts450 1gb ddr3 pcie (n450gts-md1gd3)

Hello!
I just bought msi gf gts450 1gb ddr3 pcie (n450gts-md1gd3). And now i have some problems, when i start play some game( like Skyrim or Dungeon siege 3), after about a minute my pc freezes (black screen, and sound freezes). I look up in my event log and there is: power kernel problem event 41 .
I looked in google for some information, but did not find any solution for me (found some solutions, but did not work for me). Before i bought new graphic card, everything was o.k. Some months ago i had Ge Force 9600GT and everything was still o.k.
MY PC:
Win 7 32 bit
CPU: Amd phenom II x2 550 be 3.1 Ghz
PSU: FSP 400-60APN (400 w)
12v1-17A; 12V2-17A; 3.3V-24A 5V-15A
Motherboard: GA-MA78GM-S2H (gigabyte)
RAM: 4 Gb (2Gb x 2)

All are low and lowest quality split rail psus only one 1A stronger per rail than your current one = no improvement.
Look for a psu with one +12v rail with at least 24A or better.
but how can i know, is it single rail???
is that only one 12v and no another 12V/2?

memory voltage 2.1
Make sure that the memory timings are not set to 4-4-4-x but that they are set to the defaults values (5-5-5-x). Also ensure, that the memory clock speed is not set to anything higher than 400 MHz (=DDR2-800). The voltage at these settings should not need to exceed 1.95V. So please lower it accordingly. In case the freezes still occure, please run memtest86+ to check your memory for errors.

Please get rid of that tool for all further tests. Uninstall it completely from your system as it is known to cause crashes and freezes on its own terms when running.

If you only have 10 seconds of content in a 15-second composition, then you need to either add more content or shorten your composition.
You can shorten the composition by changing the duration in the composition settings.

[Athlon64] Problem with MSI RS480M2-IL

Hi all,
I have problem with MSI RS480M2-IL. My problem is My temperature is very high... around 55-60c ... i am using AMD 3000+ Venice and no OC... and SpeedFan unable to detect my Voltage usage... Aida32 also same... 1 more thing is when i tried to run SiSoft Sandra 2005... it will take alot of time to load, sometime will just hang. i Test PCMark04 and found only got 3k for average mark... my friend getting 4k+ and we are using same spec... Below is my Spec:-
MSI RS480M2-IL
AMD 64 3000+ Venice E3
Bios Version 3.8
Geil PC3200 DDR400 2.5-3-3-6
Maxtor 60GB HDD 7200RPM 2mb
Verudium Power Vortex 420W
Hope some one can advised me what to do... my score too low and my board detect temperature and voltage is not accurate... Hope MSI Engineer will look thought and help me... Thank for Viewing !

the underlying "Who's fault is it?" question: AMD64 VENICE CORE (E3) PROCESSORS? or MSI RS480M2-IL MOBOS?
so far, ALL users with this proc/mobo combination HAVE the high (or incorrect) temperature issue. replacing the mobo obviously will not resolve the issue but replacing the proc with one that is NOT a Venice E3 core, does the trick. but of course, not everyone will have the privilege of exchanging their damned proce via the retailer specially if it's beyond the first 21 days of purchase.
in my case, my retailer refused to have the E3 proc replaced with the 'corrected' E6 version no matter how hard you explained the known issues with the E3. no chance of AMD recalling the E3 cores since problems with are only isolated to the particular MSI RS480M2 boards.
so for users that are and will be stuck with this combination, what is the solution then to the temperature issue? in my opinion, it's up to MSI to perhaps release a bios update that will correct this. another important thing to consider is the question: IS MY VENICE CORE INDEED OVERHEATING OR IS IT JUST THE MSI MOBO SHOWING INCORRECT READINGS? the proc overheating in actuality is obviously a lot different thatn just having an incorrect bios temp readings.
based on what i have observed, my Venice core displays the correct cpu temps (33-35*C) when being used on a MSI K8 Diamond mobo. placing the proc back to the R2480M2 board shows a very unusual 61-63*C bios cpu temp. furthermore, if i touch the stock heatsink/fan cooler that i have (for both motherboards), it really does NOT seem to be extremely hot to think that the cpu is actually overheating. in addition, my system using the RS480M2 performs well and has no spontaneous shutting down problems whatsoever. of course, my sense of touch is not as accurate as a thermometer but more or less, if you consider all the points i mentioned, most of us can say that the whole issue is just a matter of incorrect cpu reading.
perhaps the ATI chipset is the one to blame since i have notices as well that the Venice core processors do not seem to have this high temp problems with MSI's K8 mobos with the NVIDIA chipsets.
one last question: so do you guys think that this problem can be resolved by a simple bios revision? (as a dell tech guy, i do know for a fact that bios updates resolves overheating error messages in Inspiron/Latitude laptops)

Problem with MSI X58 Platinum SLI - IOH temperature !

Hi guys.
I have this PC configuration:
- MSI X58 Platinum SLI ( Bios Version 3.8 - http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6707/161020101249.jpg )
- Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz box ( with Intel Turbo Boost running sometimes at 3.06 Ghz )
- MSI GeForce GT240 1GB DDR5 128-bit HDMI
- Corsair 6GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3 Triple Channel Kit ( sets to AUTO and running at 1066 Mhz )
- Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU
- Ordinary case ( http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4200/161020101246.jpg & http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8480/161020101247.jpg ).
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I bought my PC components 2 months ago, so they are new.
Now, guys I think that is a problem with my motherboard. When I turn on the computer in Bios I have this temps: CPU – 30 C (86 F); IOH – 71 C (159 F); System 30 C (86 F) - http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/394/161020101242.jpg. After 2 minutes the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 82 C (179 F); System 41 C (105 F) and 2 more minutes later the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 84 C (183 F); System 43 C (109 F). After 30 minutes of doing nothing I have this temps: CPU – 35 C (95 F); IOH – 85 C (185 F); System 42 C (107 F) -
Guys it is normal with IOH temperature ? I am a little worried about it ( to be honest I am more than “a little” … I am worried a lot ).
Ok, I know I don’t have a good case but in 3 weeks I should receive this Thermaltake Spedo Advance Case (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1121&ID=1829) and I will buy a new CPU cooler ( I don’t know yet wich one – maybe Corsair CWCH70 or Noctua NH-D14 but I have to see the case first … to be sure there is a plenty of space for those coolers ).
Pls help me with that IOH temperature. It is normal ? What if I intend to make a little OC ( lets say CPU to 3652 Mhz and RAM to 1333 Mhz … but also I will ask for your support ! ) my motherboard will burn ?
If it is necessary I will contact my retailer and send him back the motherboard but … I like MSI a lot.
Thx guys for your support !

Hey guys,
Here is a nice cheap alternative.
Here is my story about the same issue. I found it after looking at why my computer freezes sometimes. Not very often but enough for me to do some investigation. I noticed my IOH temp was a whopping 117 degrees Celsius. lol. Surprised my mobo didn't burn out by now. I wanted to evaluate the situation with the heat sink and decided to take it off. After taking it off I found extremely crusty purple compound on board the chipset and the heatsink. I took me FOREVER to scrape it off. it was almost like a cement which I found odd. After scraping and cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I placed some silver compound on and proceeded to put it back on.
Well, upon hooking everything back up I was still at 95 to 103 degs. Now I started to really look at the options to replace this. I had SLI config which means I had to do something clever with the southbridge as well. A nice thermaltake chipset solution w/fan and a low profile copper southbridge with shipping was about 45 bucks. Hmm ... This is a sure fix from the threads I have read and its really kid of expensive to fix a simple defect. the problem is not necessarily with the heatsink not being sufficient. Its the combo of the compound used vs the amount of pressure applied between the heatsink and chipset. It was completely unacceptable. I knew this right away when I was watching the temp and then I would press on the top of the IOH heatsink and I would watch it drop another 15 degrees in less then 10 seconds. The springs are extremely weak and not effective at all in transferring the heat from the NB.
Here if my fix. Cost me less than a dollar at the hardware store and it works ideal thus far. Do this at your own risk. Doing this will probably void any warranty too. All my problems are solved and I am running at 57 degrees, YES, 57 degrees with the stock heatsink and no additional cooling.
For one scrape all that old crap off like I did. Apply your new compound. But when you go to replace your heatsink, use the following method. The trick is to use metal screws with a mobo washer, original springs from the plastic studs and a nylon locknut. Use screws that are the same diameter and length (maybe a tad bit longer) as the plastic retainer studs. Also grab a few of those red nylon mobo washers too, were gonna need them as well.
After scraping and applying compound, reassemble as follows. Screw with washer inserted into the back of the mobo so the threads are out front. The plastic/nylon washer is betweeen the screwhead and the back of the mobo as a insulator. Put the heatsink on. With the threads thru the heatsink already, put the springs on and start spinning on the locknut. I torqued the nut down on the spring until the spring almost became fully compressed. The purpose of the spring here is really to prevent you breaking something and at the same time using the max force of the spring since it weak to begin with. Thats why we need to compress it down pretty much all the way. There will be little to no room in the spring at this point. The heatsink at this point should be pretty solid to the board as well. I noticed with the plastic studs before the heatsink would wobble if you gave it a little rocking back and forth before. Not this time. Shouldn't move much if at all. Remember not to torque down too much. You don't want to go beyond the springs compression. Even if you did by accident, its better then not using a spring at all. If you feel that it starts to feel tight when torquing, you torqued too far. Stop an backup a 1/4 turn or so. It is also very important to make sure both torques are equal on both sides as well. Alternate sides when torquing down. I could tell by how much thread I had left on both sides and by looking for any uneven sides.
To summarize, the compound is a problem no doubt. After you resolve the compound issue, its all about the adequate pressure between the heatsink and the IOH. Much like the amount of pressure needed between your CPU and your heatsink give or take. And the pressure that would be as an aftermarket solution like the thermaltake chipset cooler. You dont see cheesy springs on that. Wake up MSI. Simpy using a more effective spring could save MSI some cash in the long run. I envision a leafsprin design like the thermaltake chipset one. The heatsink design could be better, sure, but the design itself is not the problem. Replace the heatsinks if you would like to, if your overclocking and stuff. Funny, this board I have is a refurb too and only had it for a few weeks. Figured they would have done something about it.
Sorry the pics are not the best. Here is about as close as I could get to the finished product

Video problem with MSI 880G-E45 board

Does anyone know if the onboard video is automatically disabled by installation of a PCI-e x16 video card on this motherboard?
I want to run two monitors and I cannot figure out how to keep the onboard vga active when I have a video card in the PCI-e x16 slot.
Thanks!

I can't believe a Moderator on a Manufacturer's Forum is handing out such INCORECT information!!!!
Quote from: flobelix on 16-August-12, 12:43:00
Unfortunately bottom line is you can't use your onboard vga for another display besides a vga card powering different monitors. Using a discrete vga you are limited to it's multi-display abilities. Onboard vga will not work when vga card used. For using three monitors you could get an Eyefinity supporting Radeon as suggested or a GeForce GTX6xx. If your card is limited to dual display and you don't want to get a new one you'll stick with two monitors.
I submit this link (tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-780g-chipset,1785-6.html) as proof that it is possible to use both the on-board video and an added video card both simultaneously or in crossfire mode on a single display.
To further illustrate this fact further, I submit this link (amd.com/it/products/technologies/ati-hybrid-graphics/Pages/ati-hybrid-graphics.aspx) to AMD.com stating the purpose for their "Hybrid Crossfire" technology, and although their page does not show specificly that the MSI 880G-E45 motherboard supports this, THIS page Does! (msi.com/product/mb/880G-E45.html#/?div=Basic) --Scroll to the bottom to see the line stating "Hybrid Crossfire Support - Y"
When speaking with MSI customer support about this technology, you are directed to this page (msi.com/file/test_report/TR1_2233.pdf) which shows a list of compatible video cards, ALL of which supported the Hybrid Crossfire when tested by MSI.
Add "http:\\www." to each of the links...
"flobelix", perhaps it would be better to simply say "I Don't Know" rather than providing MSI's customers with incorrect information and suggesting that they spend more money on something else.
BTW, I have personally tried 2 different video cards (MSI Radeon HD 6670 1Gb DDR5) and the (Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 1Gb DDR3) that are NOT on MSI's list, and they did NOT work with the Hybrid crossfire.
I hope we can limit further suggestions to facts instead of guesses.

VCORE PROBLEMS WITH MSI P35 NEO F

To see if I can help or at least explain what's happening, buy a MSI P35 NEO F for using a quad, the topic is as follows handling vcore is rare
First thing I can not put less voltage that the cpu brings default, second what happens next if bios setting 1.3250 vcore for Quad, once in both windows everest, cpuz, like others programs tell me that this placed on 1.40 vcore which is excessive for the speed at which the quad, this is so in this mobo? Their story that was installed version 1.20 bios which handled vcore%, the upgrade to version 1.40 and is now handled in decimals (numbers) vcore, but still the problem
You pull more vcore which setting in bios and if you want to download the vcore eg put 1.26 vcore not let you because it takes the vcore default of cpu minimum.
i'm not crashing or problems with the temperatures, but nobody likes to have more vcore's necessary.
Wonder because being rookie of this mobo, maybe there's some bios version that fixes this bug or someone knows something else, thank you guys
C2Q Q6600
2 X 1GB G.SKILL 6400
PSU 550 MODULAR TOPOWER
-- SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH --

You can slap 1.6v in that CPU and temps won't rise that much.
Core 2 Duo/Quad operates @ 1.250-1.425, anywhere in between those values is perfectly stable for Intel stock cooler and frequency.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. But if you want to complain about >1c I really can't see the sense in that.

Going on week FOUR of problems with MSI NEO-2-S :/

Mainboard: MSI Neo2-S, BIOS Rev. 1.5x (whatever Live Update sent me)
RAM: GeiL 1GB (512x2) PC-3500 Matched pairs
CPU: P4-2.4c
HD: WD 1200JB Special edition
Cooling: Stock intel, lapped @ 800 grit
PSU: 450W
Video: MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 64MB
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP1A, IE 6.x latest security patches
DX: Direct-X 9b
BIOS setting: Slow
Overclocking: No, system will not even run stable at rated speeds.
Problem:
System just shuts itself down in the middle of gaming.
CPU temperature has a wide range, depending on how cool the night is and if I have my windows open etc the system can be as low as 40c. Under load while gaming I've seen it go to between 59c-62c.
I've gone into Core Center and turned off the dynamic overclocking so it doesn't adjust speed in the middle of playing games, thinking that might be causing issues.
I've also cranked the fans up all the way in Core Center to increase cooling.
Heck I've even turned Core Center OFF thinking it was messing with my system.
No antivirus is running in the background while I'm gaming. I've fresh installed XP Pro. I've re-applied service packs.
I'm worried about the temperature but I don't necessarily know for certain the sudden shutdowns are a cooling issue.
I am going on week FOUR of problems with this new system. I have never purchased an MSI mainboard and seriously, I have just flat out had it. I've already been through one RMA'd board, I am not RMAing another. I have 3 days left on my newegg account before I am stuck with this MSI, forever. If I can't find a solution ASAP (in 24 hours!) I am returning this MSI board and getting a Gigabyte 8KNXP.
Can anyone help me out here with suggestions please. I'm at my wits end. I've never had to do SO MUCH WORK to get a system running stable. I put my P3 with Intel mainboard together 2.5 years ago and I haven't had ONE single issue.
Stability is a BIG factor for me. I can't even think about overclocking when this sytem won't run at rated speeds!
Chris

This is a different problem.. the first board just flat out died after upgrading the BIOS. I never even got to use it.
This new board upgraded the BIOS just fine but I've been experiencing crashes and shutdowns.
I don't have any spare motherboard or CPU to test it in, and if I did I'd still have to run it for several days..and I don't have several days due in part to me having to dink around with it for so long.
I would say I am in game for 30-60 minutes before I see temperatures that high. Although again I have been playing this same game on my P3-1ghz with the same Video card and never once had a shutdown like this. Never once overheated.
I have all the fancy display/graphics options turned off..I have tested in different resolutions (it makes no difference temperature wise)
I do not know what my core temps are, I can check when I get home and post them if it helps.
I'm running everything at stock speeds. I've noticed Core Center ups my speed slowly from 201x4 to 203x4 etc and so I disabled that and finally flat out took Core Center out of startup. I didn't want it modifying anything while I was playing on the chance it was causing the crashes. Still no change even after that.
The temp does seem a bit high, but I have lapped the heatsink and fan and applied a layer of termal paste (silicon based) to both the HSF and the CPU. I removed that old black pad by scraping it off and then cleaning it with some xylene based carburetor cleaner. I spent several minutes rubbing the black melted parrafin goo off the processor and HSF with a coffee filter. I'm very confident there was little to none left when I applied the new thermal paste.
I don't understand why it runs so hot, nothing is overclocked, I'm running low settings in the game. These temps i'm posting are from Core Center. I have the case OPEN (plenty of ventilation) and I have the windows in my room open to the night air!! (i live in san diego, its cool at night right now) I tried with the case closed also just to be sure and I received the same temperature readings.
None of this makes sense...and after 4 weeks and 500 dollars I'm tired of having to make it sense. It should work right away and that's that.

Network problems with MSI 790FX-GD70

Hi All
I have a problem with the onboard network cards.
It only works the first time from cold boot (when the powercable is completly disconnected from the PC, and LAN cable disconnected, turn on PC and then connect LAN cable)
If I shut it it down or restart the computer, then the LAN card disconnects, eg no lights active on either the pc nor the router. But if I do the procedure described above everything works ok again.
Same problem occours with both LAN ports.
My system:
MSI 790FX-GD70
AMD 720BE
4GB Corsair 1600mhz DDR3
2x Asus HD4850 Crossfire
2x Samsung t166 320GB HD
Windows XP SP3
Tried 3 different routers but all with the same error. So everything points towards the motherboard.
Please help.

Quote from: Fredrik on 09-August-09, 06:19:22
If the LAN-card is disconnected I wonder if the LAN-card is "present" at all. Check Deceive Manager. Please give some PSU info. Problematic booting and falling out devices...
Also, please, what is your BIOS Version? Make sure its 1.4 .
Drivers - have you downloaded the latest ones from MSI's site and installed them for the LAN card?
Man.. is it me, or have there been like 6-7 people coming up with similar LAN issues on this board? I've never known an onboard NIC to have issues.

Problems With MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Posting some probems I have face and wondering if you folks have experience similar problems. I bought 2 and bot hahve same problems (sold both of it). Another friend of mine have also same problems with the board.
1. SATA 1/2 don't work properly. I have detection problems using SATA ports 1/2. The comp will not detect my IDE devices and hang at POST screen. Reboot/reset don't solve the problem. I have to turn off and on to get it to work. Problem is only sovled after switching to SATA 3/4.
2. Network disconnection problem. The NIC will auto disconnect and reconnect back by itself, esp. when under overclocked conditions.
3. Cannot overclock much using DIMM slot-1 esp. when mem is over 230MHz. Must change to slot 2/3. Even so, I do face BSOD stating an USB driver is the cause of the issue.
4. Comp will sometimes unable to reboot at FSB between ~210-240MHz. 250Mz and above seems OK.
Now, I am using Abit KV8 Pro 1.1 and it works fine though. No FSB reboot issues. I am using 1.1 with latest BIOS, thus not AGP/PCI lock issues. Hope MSI will fix those problems mentioned ASAP cause my Abit don't work with mobile A64s. :(

Seriously, I have absolutely no idea. It may be a QC problem, it may be a design problem, its may be BIOS or others. The only thing I know that after I jump ship to Abit KV8 Pro 1.1, all these problems are gone. Only problem is that Abit don't support mobile A64s.
BTe, just another problem or maybe over conservative restrictions. When using DDR333 RAMs, the BIOS will not allow you to manually set it to 400. Thus at 200MHz FSB/HTT, your RAM is stuck at 166MHz. Pretty stupid restriction I have to say.

BSOD problems with MSI Z77A-GD80. Possible solution - enabling XMP?

Hello all,
I have problems with BSOD. When I play game "TrackMania2 Canyon" after some time (usually 15-30 minutes) BSOD shows with these bugcheck codes: 0x4E (0x99, 0x219CD3, 0x1, 0x1620D3).
When I using other applicatons (MS Word 2010, Visual Studio 2010, AIMP3, Gom Player, Chrome, WaterFox) there is no BSOD. Also, I tried to play game "Trackmania United Forever" (older game than "TrackMania2 Canyon") and everithig is fine (no BSOD).

Enable XMP in the bios and put the modules in the black memory slots.
That should work.
I've been using Corsair modules on several mainboards for some time now without issues.
I want to try enabling XMP for my RAM (it is supported by my RAM modules) to try to solve that BSOD. What I need to do? Does it only possible in OC mode or I can enable XMP in Eco or Standard mode? I do not want overclock RAM with XMP, just to set it on 1600 MHz via XMP.
I do not have any OC experinece (just teoreticaly). The best solution for me will be to enable XMP in Eco or Standard mode. If XMP only possible in OC mode I want other OC values to set like in standard mode.
I tested over 5 hours all 4 RAM modules in the same time with MemTest86+ with 3 passes without any errors.
BTW, when I logged into my Windows account, what is the most easiest way to determine in what mode Z77A-GD80 is (Eco, Standard or OC)?

You see, the problem is the bandwidth.
Your cpu's memory controller as stated by Intel:
Max Memory Bandwidth 25.6 GB/s (if it devide by 1000, and 25 GB/s if it devide by 1024)
DDR 1600 memory has a peak bandwidth of 12800 mb/sec, if you multiply it out then divide by 1024 you get 50 GB/sec. This is why it is hard to oc memory, it isn't the memory, it's the memory controller. Even with 1333 it is over 41 gb/sec, which why it is sometimes nessesary to overvolt the memory and or memory controller / increase the latency to run at all!.
A BETTER and more exact reason for this can be found here although it is based on DDR2. http://www.overclock.net/t/193449/memory-dividers-latencies-and-bandwidth-explained
I don't know how did you calculate 50GB/s peak bandwidth of DDR3 dual channel 4 X 4GB 1600MHz but it seems too much.
According to my calculations it is 2 X 8 X 1600 / 1024 = 25 GB/s (2 is for dual channel), witch is the value that memory controler for Intel i7-3770K was natively made for (Intel i7-3770K Memory Types: DDR3-1333/1600).
Here is specifications for Intel i7-3770K:

I don't think that 2 kits (2 X 4GB) od DDR3 will increse bandwidth double to 2 X 25 = 50GB/s.
Here is my AIDA64's Cache & Memory Benchmark (12.5% less than theoretical maximum for DDR3 1333MHz dual channel):

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

Problem with (MSIE?) Acrobat 8.2.0. Uninstalling/installing

First of all:
Trying to uninstall and re-install Acrobat as it apparently got (messed up) when some fool installed Acrobat Reader 9.3 on the same computer, or at least, so I've been lead to believe. I had been trying to modify a security setting on a couple of PDF's and wasn't able to do it, then noticed that the occasional updates were not installing, so I was told (here and elsewhere) that I was going to continue experiencing problems as long as I had Reader AND Acroat installed.
I managed to uninstall Reader this AM but when trying to either uninstall OR repair Acrobat, I continually get the same message, to wit:
"Windows Installer
This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer patch package."
OK, so I go looking thru a LOT of KB articles and finally come to understand that the message refers to a WINDOWS (MSIE) installer problem, not a problem with Acrobat, per se. The recommended action was to use the MSIECUU (Clean Up Utility), except that THAT seems to have been deleted by Microsoft as being not the greatest thing to do to one's registry entries.
Sooooo....
I'm stumped, it's hot and I've been futzing with this chazzerai all day.
What do I do now? All I wanna do is change a few security settings, get Acrobat back to where it was, go home and have a martoonie.

Ah, the anti-virus... of course! I will do this next time I'm at the shop
(2 weeks).
