PSE8 and Windows 7 Bugs Confirmed by Adobe

After spending over an hour with tech support, the second level technician confirmed that there are currently some incompatibilities with PSE 8 when interacting with other programs inside of Windows 7. Specifically, I have identified (and Adobe confirmed) that neither the Photo Mail nor the Ceiva functions will work correctly. Others (such as mail attachment) do work. All apparently work with Vista and other OSs.
I was told that there are certain bridging files that existed in Windows Vista (and XP) that no longer exist in Windows 7. Adobe is aware of the problem and working on a patch. It's not clear to me why they didn't post this information (and any other known bugs) in the Knowledgebase...but I hope this saves others some time with tech support.
Adobe did not give me any commitment for when the fix will be available.

Very interesting. I DID get photo mail to work when I did the right-click administrator procedure. It did NOT work when I
created a new adminstrator level user though. I'm not sure what the difference is in how Windows 7 handles these.
This did NOT, however, solve the CEIVA problem.
Thanks for the idea. At least I'm more functional now.

ITunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bug thread

I thought I would start an entire thread devoted to iTunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bugs since there are MANY people reporting various issues and may not know about all of them. Hopefully this will combine a list of all bugs for reference and help others. So far, most of this effects Windows 7 64 bit, but some are reporting issues under 32 bit too.
I have spoken with both Apple Care and a higher level tech at iTunes support. The iTunes support tech said they were "looking into all reported bugs and are aware of issues with version 10.4, especially under Windows 7. They encourage others to report their bugs to iTunes support so they can work on this and find all the issues.
KNOWN BUGS:
Album Art copy/paste broken - A bug that causes copy/pase from clipboard where album art is not displayed in the info tab as before. Some have reported success by dragging the image file over to it vs copy/paste method but it is still very much spotty and a known bug.
iTunes store not working - Some have been effected with the iTunes store not working properly for them. Personally I don't have a problem but this has been for some.
"Purchases" link not working in iTunes - When you click on "Purchases" link on the right column, all your purchases are missing and do not show up. This includes, music, movies, apps, etc. This is also a known bug and one that I have personally. Works fine in iTunes 10.3 for Windows 7 64bit and also works fine under both Snow Leopard and Lion OS.
Sync issues - Some have reported syncing issues since upgrading to 10.4 iTunes on Windows 7. This is a bit spotty as well as I have no trouble but there are others that have reported issues.
Solutions:
For now, the only way to fix this is to use iTunes 10.4 under Snow Leopard or Lion OS. Also, you can uninstall (not repair) 10.4 and install 10.3 again which should work.

You are correct and I wish that I had known this before spending 4 days and a lot of trouble going over this with both Apple Care and iTunes support. They had me jumping through hoops and didn't know anything until it was finally escalated. Only then did I get a vague response like I mentioned in the first post. It's troubling to me how a simple response from anyone there could've just said we know about this and they are bugs in 10.4 causing this.
There are other issues too as you point out with the syncing and crashing. Anyway, hopefully others will find information here more useful than calling Apple for help. Not much we can do now except roll back to 10.3 for those that kept it and hope also they can updated Apple Application Support component.

[Success] Dual Booting Arch and Windows 7 [Advice / Confirmation]

So I have been trying to get Starcraft II to work with wine and no luck.
I have decided to install windows back on my computer, besides it might come in handy since I'm heading back to school soon.
Anyways I have tried dual booting arch and windows in the past, and my results have never been stable.
Today I will try using the program gparted.
Let me give you my thoughts on how I plan to go through this and please give me some advice so I don't loose everything I have worked for on my linux box
1.Currently I have two hard drives, one for all my main programs and one for my media files (mounting usb, dvd, etc, and it actually has no files in it xD).
I plan to use gparted to re-size my second harddrive (media drive), create an extended partition, and a logical ntfs partition within it.
2.I pop in my windows cd that I recieved with my laptop and install it on the space I have partitioned for windows.
3. If my grub gets wiped out my windows (which I hope it doesn't not sure how the MBR stuff works) I insert a Ubuntu live cd and do
sudo grub
> root (hd0,0)
> setup (hd0)
> exit
4.Configure grub to boot windows 7.
5.Be happy with no headache.
SO....
If someone with past experience with dual booting windows and arch could please give me some advice, as I do not want to lose all my data, start over, and have another headache.
I know I must learn to backup arch, which I will before september.
But if anyone has any protips, or sees a flaw in my plan please point it out!!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and even more if advice has been given to boost my confidence!
For now I will wait
Thank you fellow archies.

1) Windows must be installed to a primary partition - attempting to install it to an logical partition will result in an epic fail
2) Physically disconnect the harddrive you do not want windows on as windows typically installs the bootloader on the 1st hardisk (ie /sda) regardless of installation drive (ie /sdb)
3 / 4) Complete the windows installation then reattached your Arch drive and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (as root) pointing the W7 entry to (hd1,0) - no need to reinstall grub
5) Hey it's windows - anything could happen
If you create an NTFS partition right at the beginning of the the drive before you start the W7 install you can prevent it greedily using up 2 of you 4 primary partitions - I would also completely update you new W7 installation past SP1 before reattaching the other drive to further prevent W7 going mental
satanselbow thank you so much!
Everything works great I had no stumbles, and I hope no problems in the future!!
I will post exactly what I did in case someone has the same issue.
1. Partition you're secondary harddrive as primary ntfs with gparted
2. Reboot, and if you get a file system check error, check you're udev rules. (For my case in particular I had to change the udev rules I got for auto mounting usb, ext harddrive, etc.
3.Power off your computer and physically remove the harddrive that contains all your linux goodies
4. Plug in your windows cd and install in the partition you created
5. Update your windows OS
6. Plug in Ubuntu live CD and reboot
7. Use commands to get grub to overwrite the windows boot loader (In my case I put grub everyone hd0,0 hd0,1 just to be sure, but you might want to do things cleaner)
8. Reboot and see if grub loads up
9. Use Ubuntu live CD again and launch Gparted, select the boot to your extra linux space (if you had one, not sure if this is needed)
10. Plug in your linux harddrive and reconfigure /boot/grub/menu.lst and your good to go
Once again shout outs to satanselbow!!! For without him I might've failed brutally!
Cheers!

RH10 and Windows 8 Bug with DHTML

I reported the following bug today:
Concise problem statement:
All DHTML effects in WebHelp—with the sole exception of drop-down and expanding hotspots—fail to execute on CLEAN Windows 8 systems (upgraded Windows 8 systems from Windows 7 do not seem to be affected), regardless of default browser.
Steps to reproduce bug:
Set up any DHTML effect other than drop-down or expanding.
Save topic and click “View Selected Item”.
The following script error is thrown: “Unable to get property ‘alpha’ of undefined or null reference” — the error points to the ehlpdhtm.js file (in my case, line 4233, char 2).
Results: No DHTML in the WebHelp output execute, with the exception of drop-down and expanding text.
Expected results: DHTML displays as developed (and yes, "Update DHTML effects in topics" was run). It is important to note that all these effects display as expected when run from a Windows 7 machine.
I noticed this after being forced to format and reinstall my system drive, on which I'd previously done an in-place upgrade to Windows 8. There was no issue unitl I'd done a clean install of the OS, implying that something carried over from the Windows 7 setup to prevent the error.
I've tested this against IE10, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results: DHTML effects (such as Fly-in) don't work and, worse, whatever the effect is attached to does not display.
If anyone else is having this issue, it would be good to report it. If anyone has a possible fix or workaround, I'll be glad to be a test monkey.
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem with Robohelp 9 on Windows 7. My error message says: The value of the property "TextPopupInit is null or undefined, not a Function object"
I click Yes to the question "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page" and the page previews fine. I open the page in a web browser, and it also works fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Bootcamp and Windows 8. bug

Hello,
I have a problem now with Bootcamp on Microsoft Windows 8.1.
- My hot keys for backlight access keys do not work. (Cursor blistered)
- The Quick Access brightness button works but nothing changes.
- Going through Windows menus, you can not adjust the brightness, if I decrease or increase, nothing happens.
- If I switch to battery mode, the brightness does not change.
- I turned off the automatic brightness adjustment, but it changes nothing.
- I have the impression that the battery management is not as well managed from Windows 8.1 over Windows 8.
Do you think that update Bootcamp will happen to address these issues? Do you have an alternative solution for the brightness and the backlight?
Thanking you

currently the latests bootcamp drivers don't officially support win8.1 only win8 so driver issues and absent features is to be expected
when they begin to officially support 8.1 you can just download the zip file and run the setup.exe to get the latests drivers

Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000

Everyone that has the Windows 2000 operating system has problems with the Acrobat 3D models. The models were created using Windows XP and were tested using Windows XP. I am assuming that Acrobat 3D and Windows 2000 are incompatible. Adobe states Windows 2000 compatibility. Does anyone know why users with Windows 2000 are having problems with my models?
Thanks

Yes, I have checked the version and they have Reader 7.0.8. I also checked that they have the latest version of DirectX. Of course there are a number of remote Windows2000 users, so I haven't the ability to check the service pack installations, graphics drivers, and so on. Many of these users are schedule to be upgraded to new laptops (with Windows XP installed).
I also have the most recent version of Acrobat 3D and have installed all the updates.
It seems the problems are different among different users, but everyone seems to have some type of problem when using Acrobat 3D and Win2000.

Adobe Reader X 10.1 Install Failing on XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit)

After using the Customization Wizard 10 to create an .mst and executing the install via SCCM 2007 which I have done many times before, I am getting the following error on both the XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit) machines in the Application Event Log:
Product: Adobe Reader X (10.1.0) -- Error 2229.Database: . Could not load table 'ServiceInstall' in SQL query: SELECT `Name`,`DisplayName`,`ServiceType`,`StartType`,`ErrorControl`,`LoadOrderGroup`,`Dependenc ies`,`StartName`,`Password`,`ComponentId`,`Directory_`,`FileName`,`Arguments`,`Description ` FROM `ServiceInstall`, `Component`, `File` WHERE `ServiceInstall`.`Component_` = `Component`.`Component` AND (`Component`.`KeyPath` = `File`.`File`) AND (`Action` = 1 OR `Action` = 2).
I used the following .msi to create the.mst:
AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
Does anyone know where to go from here?
Thanks, Sandy

I have found another possible bug affecting network printing with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode on XP SP3 machines that has not been previously documented:
A number of users in one office were not able to print with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode (even with the printing hotfix/patch previously released) to their default printer; however they were able to print fine with 10.0.1 in Protected Mode OR by disabling Protected Mode in 10.1.2. They could print to Microsoft XPS Document Writer, however.
The cause was determined to be an issue with capitilization of the printer name in the registry! 10.1.2 in Protected Mode seems to be sensitive to this for some strange reason, though other apps don't care.
Check the following keys and ensure the capitalization of any references to name of your printer (or UNC path of the printer share) is consistent:
HKCU\Printers\Connections
HKCU\Printers\Settings
HKCU\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows\Device
In our case, the reference to the name of the default printer was in lowercase, while the printer path recorded under settings was in UPPERCASE. Changing this to match immediately fixed the problem.

Adobe Captivate 4 and Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits - sound doesn´t works

Hi there,
I´m trying to start a new recording, and when I click in Audio button and try to calibrate the sound or record a new audio, it doesn´t works.

Anyone?
Thanks!

Adobe Muse Windows XP bug?

My Adobe Muse website does not render correctly in Internet Explorer on a computer running Windows XP. It works fine on computers not running XP. In partiicular, a tiled image for a header/footer with 45% opacity on a master page does not show up at all. In addition, for a composition with triggers having rounded corners, only the first trigger shows up with rounded corners while the remaining triggers are square. Any ideas on how to fix this?

IE7 and IE8 have a lot of bugs related to transparency and transparent images. Muse goes to great lengths to workaround many of these bugs. In other cases Muse resorts to an either effect A or effect B approach in cases where two effects simply don't work well together in IE7 and IE8.
I think you can get around the IE7 and IE8 transparency bugs in your case by simply making the PNG images that are being used for the tiled header/footer background and trigger backgrounds opaque. Given your design, you can put a white background behind the image in Photoshop, Fireworks or similar and then flatten the result to get an opaque PNG, or JPEG. for the trigger buttons, you'll need to create separate opaque images for each state that has a unique appearance. If the images are opaque, I believe the rendering issues you're encountering will go away.

After successful install, all my adobe cc docs, when open, change pointer arrow, i-beam and window to oversize. When doc closes all return to normal size. I'm on a PC. Screen res set to medium 1920x1200. Any ideas how to fix?

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.
