Reader 9.0 issues with Vista SP1??

Have been running free Reader 9.0 for sometime now. I am running on Windows Vista Business and recently installed Vista SP1. I now find Reader 9.0 cannot open my pdf files. Message window states "Adobe Reader 9.0 has stopped working". Have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 9.0 but the problem still persists.
Any help would be appreciated.

Adobe Support declined to assist since my version of Adobe 9.0 was a free download. They did state, however, that there was a "technical problem" and suggested I visit the support forum site (hence the message dated 23 Dec).
In the meantime I have uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.0 and installed Adobe Reader 8.0 - I now do not have a problem.
There is obviously an issue between Adobe Reader 9.0 and Vista Service Pack (SP1).

Error 1935 - unable to install Reader 8.1.2 on Vista SP1

I know that others have posted on this issue, but neither of the suggested fixes have worked for me. The 'fsutil' command prompt had no effect, and Ghaurav's suggestion of defeating the uninstall by copying all the files from the directory and replacing them resulted in an 'invalid plugin' error every time I tried to start Reader.
Is anyone from Adobe monitoring this forum? Any others out there having this problem, or have a fix?

OK, the final chapter. Microsoft tech support had me run a system file checker utility. The command line is 'sfc /scannow'. The utility reported that I had corrupt system files, but I still have no idea how that happened. I was unable to roll back the installation of Vista SP1, so I ended up reinstalling Vista (and every other program I have) from scratch. It took a full day of installing, upgrading restoring my backed up files, but I ended up with a clean version of Vista SP1, and the adobe problem is gone.
Does this story have a happy ending? No. I decided to run SFC on my laptops. I have corrupt system files on my office laptop, and it's interfering with installing XP SP3. No other symptoms, so I'll ignore XP SP3 for as long as I can.

Treo Pro will not sync with Vista SP1

I'm really hoping somebody can help me here. I just replaced my aging 700p with the long-awaited Treo Pro (Sprint). I've actually been looking forward to getting fully Windows-based, since my 700p syncing was routinely problematic - always having to do workarounds and plug in the cord just the right way, etc...
Let me try to give you the flow so far.
I have Vista SP1
I get Treo Pro
I plug Treo Pro into Vista, SP!, all ready to sync up my Outlook 2007 data.
Treo Pro fires up a very impressive looking installation routine.
Routine seemingly works fine - getting me to the point where you unplug and reconnect your device to do your first sync
I reconnect, and hear the Windows "USB connect" sound, then.... nothing.
I open WMDC and it says "not connected"
I open "USB to PC" on the Treo, and uncheck the "advanced networking" box as suggested by some other posts.
Windows sees the difference and installs a couple of other drivers.
Windows connects, gives me the "USB connect" sound, and WMDC says "not connected"
The Treo appears to attempt a sync, but finishes with a message "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer. "
HUH? ActiveSync only works with XP - of course I can't install that!
By the way, I tried the same thing with my Vista SP1 laptop. Same exact results.
Also, at no time have I seen the WMDC icon in the tray area. (I remember having a Nino way back when, and the ActiveSync icon was down there)
I thought this was supposed to be easy - Windows PC, Windows device. Piece of cake, right? Not so. If I cannot get this thing to connect, I'm getting a Centro! (not my first choice....)
A thought... any chance this could have to do with having Palm Hotsync still installed (from my Treo 700p)?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

On Windows XP, having HotSync installed didn't interference with using ActiveSync with a Treo 800w. This is not exactly the same as your setup, but close enough that I think HotSync is not likely to be the problem.
How did you install WMDC? The downloadable User Guide (PDF pp44-46) refers to running the PC Setup program. Did that part go as expected?
I don't use Vista, so I'm not familiar with the additional complications that might be involved...

MacBook Pro sleep problems with Vista SP1

Has anyone faced sleep problems on a MacBook Pro after installing Vista SP1?
I run Boot Camp 2.0 with the latest update from Apple.
IDT finally issued a compatible Vista driver for my Sigmatel audio.
I was very happy for the first time running Vista on my Apple when I had the stupid idea to upgrade to SP1.
After days of troubleshooting with Windows support it is obvious that SP1 and my MacBook Pro are incompatible for some obscure reasons. The latest time I tried SP1 was through Windows Update, which means that Windows detected no compatibility issues, such as drivers.
I suspect Apple-in-sight driver without any evidence, just a hint.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hibernation seems iffy. Have you tried disabling hibernation? and when you say sleep, what happens? won't wake or what?
Normally I don't recommend resetting NVRAM or SMU but for sleep you might want to.
And yes, trying to rule out why can be difficult. But I would not blame SP1. Maybe BC 2.1.
Do you have a book dealing with Vista? or looked for articles or forums that deal with Vista? There is one for Vista64 - assume you have 32-bit though. Google is often best way to find things in Apple discussions or knowledge base, too.

Photoshop Elements 4.0 compatability issues with Vista

How to resolve compatability issues when loading Photoshop Elements 4.0 with Vista operating system. The Software came with Canon Canoscan 8600F scanner.

Nope, I'm afraid that's not gonna work out. The best you can hope for is trying compatibility modes, but otehrwise I don't think there is any way to run this 7 or 8 year old software on Vista or Win7/ Win8 for that matter...

Adobe Reader X:Recurring issues with print and save requiring reinstalls

One of our staff has recurring issues with PDF print, view, save. These issue are temporarily resolved by re-installing the Reader from the Adobe website. No error messages are displayed - the functions just cease to work. In the most recent iteration of the issue a document attached to an email could be saved (right mouse click, save as) within the email program but not within the Reader itself.
It appears that Reader is getting corrupted - but by what? This individual does a lot of downloading of web published PDFs - a possible source but one I can't confirm.
Information on a permanent resolution or known cause would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks v much Twilight - once I had posted the question I saw the same issues were posted by another.
I'll try the print as image under the advanced print tab and see how I get on with that. Hopefully Adobe will bring out a fix soon.
Thanks again.

Reader x printing issue with grayed out collate

Since we have deployed Reader X we have had issues with bulk printing of the same document. The option to collate is grayed out. If you want to print 50 copies of a pdf then you type the number in the field the collate is grayed out. There is a work around that you then click the up or down arrow and this makes collate available but you should not have to do this.
When is the new service pack/ fix available?

I have checked all of the typical page setting and I am still having the
same problem. I first started having the problem with my network printer when I upgraded to a Windows
7 (64 bit) but was using Reader 9. I upgraded the Reader hoping to eliminate the problem.
There are also times when the pdf won't print at all and I get an error message OFFENDING COMMAND: pscript_WinNT_compa.
I print a lot of pdfs so this is very frustrating.

Elements 4 Compatibility issue with Vista

Everything was fine 'till my old faithful pc, and Windows XP, went belly up. Now the new pc, with Vista won't allow the complete Elements program to operate. I'm told, "This program has known compatibility issues". If the issues are known, can someone please tell me how to resolve the issue. I can't seem to find any answer. I'm operating on a Hewlett Packard - HPw1707, and have an HP Photosmart C6270 all-in-one printer. 465 GB capacity. I'd really like to be able to work with Elements 4 and hope for help. Thanks

What exactly the problem is?
Is this printer not accessible through PSE4 or what?

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings install issues with Vista

Hello,
I recently upgraded my ThinkPad Z60m to Vista by doing a clean install from disk. Since this process involves manually installing each of the ThinkPad utilities manually (no pre-built image for Vista, only XP), I have ran into some issues with the installer for the MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings.
According to the Support & Download page, there are two downloads available for the Z60m and both have issues (or errors) that are preventing me from installing the application. Below are the two products and reasons for not installing:
"MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000"
Problem: Does not install on Vista
Error message: "Could not open \device\physicalmemory"
"MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows Vista"
Problem: ThinkPad Z60m is not a supported
Error message: "This program is not for machine type 2529EAU"
What I am looking for is an installation of MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings that supports users who have upgraded from XP to Vista (or downgrade depending on your feelings of Vista ). I have not found anywhere saying that upgrades from XP to Vista are not supported, so I should expect that software updates should be available for ThinkPad products on either platform.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

WRT110 crashes with Vista SP1 and Intel 3945

I have a WRT110 with the latest firmware 1.0.4, an a Dell XPS1330 with the Intel 3945abg wireless card and the latest drivers in Intel. When ever my laptop tries to connect the router crashes and drops all other connections with other wireless devies and wired devices. I also have another laptop running XP that works great on the wireless connection. It's same to say the problem is limited to the Vista machine and the Intel 3945 wireless card. Now sure what to do?

I have the same problem. Took me a while to figure out that when i connected my Toshiba laptop with Vista and Intel 3945 Router and network crashed couldnot even get the router accessed on hardwired computer. Everything returns back to normal when laptop disconnected from wireless network
Customer support was not able to help, called them twice. I solved by connecting an old wireless router to one of the ports of Linksys and connect my Vista laptop on that wireless network. That is not really a solution but if you'd like to, return the router until they can at least admit that there is a problem with compatibility, upgrading firmware on wireless adaptor did not help.

Issues with Vista SP2

I used Windows Update to download and install SP2. It got through, and restarted. I wasn't there to see what happened, but it initiated step 3, and then about 10-20 minutes later it told me that the install had failed and it was reverting changes. Then it rebooted by itself. Then it went back to Step 1; I didn't see anything else happen. Later, I only saw the login screen; I didn't see anythign else. When I logged in, it checked for more updates but gave me error 8007005. I also noticed that Aero was not available (Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Change Color Scheme). I tried installing drivers for the system again, but it told me there was a system reboot pending. I manually clicked the reboot button in the Start Menu; as far as I can tell it rebooted normally (as before, I wasn't there to see if anything was different). When I rebooted, Aero still wasn't available, and the driver installer package still told me that there was a reboot pending. That time, when I checked for updates, it was "Checking" for a very long time.
Overall, it seemed that performance was greatly decreased; for about 10-15 minutes after both reboots, the system was very laggy I could hear the hard drive (it wasn't making any noises out of the ordinary, but I could tell that there was a lot of hard drive activity).
Throughout, when I opened the Welcome Center and clicked on more info, I was told that Service Pack 2 was installed.
Basically, my questions/concerns are: Is SP2 actually installed, or is it partially installed and having some [adverse] affect on the OS? Why is Aero not working? What's causing the performance lag? What should I do to fix the "Reboot pending" state?
Side note: I used this to try to fix the Aero problem, but as far as I can tell, it just told me that a service was off. When I checked in Task Manager, there was no such Service; as far as I know, the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting Service thing didn't do anything else.
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32/bit SP1 or SP2.
My system is an Apple iMac (April 2008 model). I used Boot Camp to create a Windows partition; when it rebooted, it defaulted to mac; I manually rebooted the system and loaded Windows, where it continued the Service Pack install. I don't know if that "interruption" had any affect on the installation.
Update: Update:
A little prompt came up, and I clicked reboot. That fixed the "reboot pending" issue. When I rebooted, it displayed Installing Service Pack: Step 3 of 3. I left for a minute or two; when I came back, I was at the login screen. On each of the three times, a little dialog emerged saying:
C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe (that's in the title bar)
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
The only option is OK.
This time I didn't notice the performance lag. I'm currently installing drivers; don't know if that'll help. I still don't know if SP2 is actually fully installed, or if its in some hybrid state.

I've had trouble from time to time with the account desktop and as a result I now have at least three login accounts: one for installs and upgrades, a 2nd admin account, and 3rd is standard for day to day use.
I also fortunately have a large 70 minutes of UPS runtime, and power did go (5 seconds but enough to kill system otherwise) during one of those long "do not shutoff while installing".
I downloaded the update manually and ran it off my hard drive.
Don't know if you can even install graphic drivers yourself, which kept me from buying and using an iMac for Windows.
Windows Update: see what updates are installed, should show "Service Pack" and you can always uninstall Service Pack and reinstall. I had to uninstall SP2-RC before I could install SP2 final.
Create Restore Points; uninstall graphic drives - you'll need to restart - and you may want to use Driver Sweeper - in SAFE MODE and where you can delete any ATI/Nvidia folder left behind - then install the graphic driver of your choice.

Nano issues with Vista

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just purchased a new computer with Windows Vista 64-bit. Itunes loads fine and recognizes all my music. When I plug in my Nano my computer knows its an iPod but it freezes itunes. I also am not able to open my computer to see if it shows as a removable drive. It will not allow me to eject the ipod. As soon as I unplug the ipod everything goes back to working fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have reset my ipod and put it into disc mode. None of these steps have worked. Any ideas? Thank you.

They may have the latest driver from their manufacturer, but they probably don't have the latest intel reference driver. The 2915abg isn't the worst intel chipset I've had experience with (that title goes to the 2200bg) but it's by far not the best (that title goes to the 3945... I haven't had the chance to mess with the .n chipset). All intel wireless chipsets seem to have issues that are resolved by the latest driver. I'd check out this site:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=1847&OSFullName=Windows+Vista*+Enterprise%2C+32-bit+version&lang=eng&strOSs=155&submit=Go%21
and see if there is a newer reference driver they can try. I've had similar experiences with any Intel Centrino based laptop (high latency, low signal, etc) that are *always* resolved by updating to the newest driver. Best of luck!

Reader 10.1 issues - with 150% Display setting

I've waited a long time for the latest version of Reader (10.1.0.534) which came out yesterday. I keenly updated to it today and went testing (with my fingers crossed), only to find that it still doesn't fix the issues I'm encountering with my PCs Display set to 150% (Win 7 SP1 x64) - all the issues are all still there.
Firstly - when using under the latest IE9 I've noticed the following:
The top toolbar won't work and clicking on any button has no effect
The bottom (floating) toolbar is similarly ineffective
Somehow after I found 2 above, I've managed to loose the bottom floating toolbar altogether (and alt-F8 or F8 wont bring it back - not that its vital)
Right Clicking on the screen brings up an option panel away from the mouse
When used as a standalone app (again at 150% Display setting in Win 7) I've noticed:
The illumination of the Close, Maximise and Minimise buttons when the mouse is rolled over them is irregular and if the mouse becomes stationary on any of those buttons, the illumination goes.
Setting Display to 100% (or even 125% from provisional testing) seems to elliminate these bugs but is Adobe going to buy me some binoculars so I can see the tiny buttons and fonts on my HTPC screen from 6' away...
In this day and age of Windows coming with a perfectly capable Media Centre interface, many users of HTPCs have them set up with high resolution monitors (or TVs as the monitor) and leaving the display set to 100% is no good for regular PC functions (such as web browsing or pdf reading).
Please fix this Adobe. I've already applied to be a pre-release tester (and my application hasn't been picked up/followed up). I just feel I'm getting my moneys worth out of this product!

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Audigy 2 ZS Distortion Issues With Vista - See if this solution works for you guys

First of All Creative - It's sad, really sad that you really haven't supported your customers. As such a big maker of excellent products, I'm disappointed to know that you have barely provided driver support to your customers. I've been buying Creative products since 1997 - Also - I purposely upgraded my sound card on my Hp Media Center to an Audigy 2 ZS. Secondly - I formatted my computer and re-installed Vista. Before that, the sound card i.e. the sound worked fine (after a lot of trial and errors with different drivers, i somehow managed to get it working without Snap, Crackle and Pop Issues. In other words, I experienced distorted playback when I first installed Vista. Now that I re-installed Vista - Everything installed but as usual - only issue: Yup, you guessed it right.
Creative Audigy 2 ZS Infamous Snap Crackle Pop (SCP) I did try k_daniels drivers and even though I applaud for his efforts - unfortunately it didn't work for me but i'm sure they would if you did the following - ) Uninstall all Creative Drivers Using Driver Sweep2) Do not install the driver through Windows Update (did not work for me)3) Install latest drivers from Creative or K_Daniel's Package4) Install Vista Codec Pack5) Install DirectX06) Then do the following: Got this sorted. Hope it works for everyone..found the answer searching Google.
Right click VOLUME icon in taskbar
Click PLAYBACK DEVICES
Right click SPEAKERS
Click PROPERTIESClick ADVANCED Make sure there's no tick marks in any of the options there including ENHANCEMENTS.
This should sort it. [After doing all this, I have no sound issues whatsoever - Crystal Clear Audio Quality but still not better then XP] I am planning to try K_Daniels pack with all the extra applications and I'll post later on in regards to my experience with the pack. Good Luck P.S: Hope this helps somebody because doing all that helped me get back the audio clarity I was looking for without any distortion whatsoever.

Hi xmins
Im not using a decoder, only an amplifier alone with two speakers ... My cable is plugged in line out , and then plugged on line in of the amplifier.
The distortion is very audible, in HL 2, Battlefield 2, etc
When got a explosion, a shot from shotgun, missile, the sound comes distorted ...
Any more hints?
