Reader deleted itself?

I was updating Reader from the Adobe Update thingy and then my Internet disconnected for a few seconds. After this, I tried to open a PDF and noticed that Reader was nowhere to be found. In my Program Files, an Adobe folder still exists. Reader wasn't in the Control Panel to uninstall, so I tried to reinstall it. And when I did, I got Error 1303, saying it has insufficient access to the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\Font\PFM and the computer won't let me access the folder either. Help?

That depends a little bit on your Windows version and file system of your C: drive. But basically you
open Windows Explorer
navigate to the folder you want to check/change permission
right-click on it, then select Properties
click on the Security tab
select the user you do the install under
verify that 'Full Control' is checked

Adobe reader deleted itself during 9.1 update!

I let Adobe reader try to upgrade itself to 9.1 while I was viewing a PDF from the web inside the Opera web browser. Everything seemed to be going fine. I got two notifications from the notification area (lower right screen) corner, saying that updates were ready. A bunch of dialog boxes and progress bars, including one that said "validating install." Then a message popped up saying that the install failed.
Then I went into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0 and found it completely empty except for an emtpy "Resource" folder. I looked in the "uninstall a program" window in the control panel and Adobe Reader was not there. It is totally gone! I can't open PDFs by double clicking them. None of my web browsers can open PDFs either. This thing is GONE.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. I am running as standard user (not administrator). Using the Opera web browser.

This seems quite normal to me; it uninstalled 9.0 successfully, then unsuccessfully tried to install 9.1 - maybe it should have done a rollback...?
However, why not just retry the install of 9.1...?

Adobe reader X 10.1.1 installer file deletes itself after installation starts?

On my windows 7 pro 64bit, I downloaded the installer and installed adobe reader 10.1.1. Right after I started the installation the installer file disappeared. Did the installer file delete itself? Is this normal and as designed?
The installer file name:
install_reader10_en_air_gtbd_aih.exe

The answer to the original poster's question is that this is normal and as designed.
But *WHY* did Adobe design it this way? It's simple enough to make a copy before doing the installation, but the first time it happens I have to stop and figure out if it's normal.
I suppose there might be some benefit for the average naive user, but still, most installers don't have this behavior.

Is there a way to create a user account that "expires", or self deletes itself after a set amount of time?

I am hoping to find a way to create an Admin account for our parent body that can be used for items at home, "adding printers, software, wireless settings, etc...), but have that account either "expire" or self delete itself after say 72 hours?
Thoughts?
Jesse

Will they be needing to keep files saved for a while? I'm guessing no, since you're ok with it auto-deleting after a short while.
You could just use the guest user: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
But I'm not aware of any way that you could setup an account to expire.

Hey bryce255,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have steps available that may be able to restore your previous library:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
Resolution
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
4. Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
5. Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
6. Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
7. Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
8. Rename this file to iTunes Library.
9. Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can learn about re-creating your iTunes library:

Adobe Flash Player starts deleting itself

Hi there
Recently I have encountered the following problem:
All of a sudden a program called ThreatFire (I believe it is some kind of anti-spyware and -malware program) tells me that Adobe Flash Player is deleting itself. I then chose the option of blocking this action, which led to that Flash Player is now not working. I guess I could unblock it again and then make it work, or just reinstall Flash Player, something which I have done and then it started all this deleting itself buisness...
So I would like to get to the root of this problem? So what do you think could be causing this?
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and my default browser is Comodo Dragon.
So is there anymore you will have to know?

Hey there
I kind of lost my other account (lolller3).
So the same person just a different user.
Ok I have attached to screen pictures of the system32 and syswow64 respectively.

TS3899 Inbox deleting itself. why? Can I fix it

My inbox is deleting itself. Is there a fix

If you've restored it without success, have you been restoring It from a backup or are you starting fresh (as a new phone)? If the former, try starting fresh. If the latter, head for the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. Try to backup your phone before going to the store.

Apps deleting itself

whenever i try to download an app or update one, it either stops updating in the process or deletes itself in the process i cant get any games no. Help?

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod from backup. That is all you can do. If it recurs, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If it still recurs, you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hello Emmafurness and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Have you done a device reboot yet by removing and reinserting the battery? If not, do so and then check for the folder.
Do you have more than one theme installed on your BlackBerry? If so, change the theme to another one and check for the folder.
If you tried both of these and are still unable to locate the folder, then you will need to reinstall your device software.
Backup your device data and follow the steps in KB11320; before you restore your data file, look for the folder.
Let me know how you make out!

Device removal error..... The card reader ejects itself

Hello, I'm new to macs and purchased a Mac Mini a week ago. Things were going well until I needed to move pictures from a digital camera to my mac.
I purchased a GE 19 in 1 card reader which is built for mac os x. I hook it up to a usb port and try and look at some pictures. After a few seconds, the card reader ejects itself and I get the "device removal" error. The error will then continue to appear over and over again. When I try to eject the reader using by clicking eject, the reader ejects and only reappears a minute later and ejects itself again. I've tried using another usb port and I know for sure that its not the cable.
If I can't get any prompt answer here, I'm going to call the Genius bar tomorrow morning and ask about the problem. <Edited by Moderator>

More often than not, when a card reader or other similar device disconnects from the USB bus because it is drawing too much power. In a card reader, that would not unusually be triggered not by the card reader itself, but by the insertion of a card causing it to read the content and mount the volume on the Mac's desktop. Part of the problem is that while everything is invariably quoted as USB compatible, many such devices don't entirely comply with the USB standard, resulting in conflicts or load demands which may be borderline, or worse.
You may be able to get more reliable performance from your reader by disconnecting other USB devices when you are trying to use it, or by using it with a powered USB hub. Occasionally, borderline problems can be temporarily resolved by connecting the device to a different port, if necessary switching devices around. Alternatively, it may be that in an attempt to produce a device with the greatest flexibility in terms of media compatibility, they have compromised on components.
I would generally recommend a card reader designed for the specific card type you need. These are typically far more reliable. If you need to use different types of card media, then be prepared to spent on a well established brand with a reputation in this sector of the market, such as SanDisk.

Dopacity registry key deletes itself when closing acrobat 9.5.1

Hello,
Everytime the user closes out of acrobat, the registry key (dopacity) deletes itself. When you relaunch it, it creates a new dopacity key with the value of 0.0005, then the typewriter tool does not work. We manually change that key to 1.0 and it is fine until closing out of acrobat. We ran a repair, same issue, updated and repaired also did not fix the issue. Apart from the user running the registry key everytime, and completely uninstalling the program and re-installing (Not positive that uninstalling and re-installing will work), is there any way to fix this issue.
Thanks
Greg
