Reader X turns all desktop and menu icons into Abobe symbols.

Whan I download Adobe reader 10 on my laptop (Windows 7 OS), all my desktoop icons turn into Adobe symbols.  Only way I can get rid of them is to delete the program. Very annoying, doesnt happen with flash player. Help!

I have seen that (in this forum) sometimes in the past; happens only on Vista and Windows 7.
I don't remember exactly what the solution was (the forums search is really bad), but it was something along the lines to recreate the user profile.
Sorry, that's all I remember.

  • Windows 7, when adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and taskbar icons become adobe icons, why

    Windows 7 operating system, when Adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and task bar icons have the Adobe icon and will not open, why does this happen?

    to answer your questions, i)  tried installing both
    ii) Tried 9 and 10
    iii)  Free version of both
    iv)  No!
    I turned off the anti virus but the same thing happened, I'm getting tired of downloading and then having to uninstall Adobe.  There must be an answer, something on the computer is not right.  I had problems with a CD drive my computer stopped reading it,   Replaced the CD burner and it still would not read, took it to be repaired and was a faulty registry which the guy at the shop fixed but the problem with adobe is only since I had the computer fixed last week or is this just a coincidence?

  • Removing Desktop and Computer Icons in Finder Windows

    I have 25 eMacs at a school and I want to remove the Desktop and Computer icons in the Finder so students cant access the Library or other folders.
    I went under Finder Preferences and checked off HD, Computer, Desktop and others, but they still appear. I'm using Simple Finder with access to only My Applications, Documents and a Shared folder. That is all I want them to see or access.
    Any ideas?? Thanks for the time and affort!!
    Dave

    If you only provide them access to the mentioned folders, then everything else is read-only. Although they may be able to see the files and folders they will not have access to them. That's the role of permissions.
    As for displaying the HD, Computer, Desktop, etc. you need to disable those in each account.

  • What to do about Finder options for "all desktops" and "none" not working

    I have seen only one thread dealing with an issue similar, not identical, to mine.  Hope I'm not missing something obvious.
    I have experiment with the finder showing after upgrading to Lion.  I have consistently found that the show options of "all desktops" and in "none" needs to be altered after I re-boot.  If I have it as 'all desktops' it doesn't show unless I change it to "none."  If I have it set to "none" then I have to change it to "all desktops" or "this desktop" after re-booting.
    I even tried to reduce the number of desktops.  That didn't work.
    I tried deleting my finder preferences file and that hasn't worked.
    Is this a bug or do I need to do some other process?
    Thanks.

    Solved through applecare; had me delete all of my preferences and start over (with saving things like mail, dock settings).  Has worked fine for weeks.

  • I have a few collections, but not all PC's in those collections are listed in "All Desktop and Server Clients".

    I have a few collections, but not all PC's in those collections are listed in "All Desktop and Server Clients". Does anyone happen to know the reason for this? It should have at least the same number of clients as the largest collection.
    Thanks,
    James

    Hi James,
    The All Desktops and Server collection only contains devices that show client=yes.
    Meaning the Configuration Manager client is installed on those devices.
    This WQL query will give you a collection of all devices that do not have the client installed.
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where (SMS_R_System.Client is null or SMS_R_System.Client = 0) and SMS_R_System.Name != 'Unknown'
    Another handy collection is all clients that are inactive (No communication for the default 7+ days)
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_CH_ClientSummary on SMS_G_System_CH_ClientSummary.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_CH_ClientSummary.ClientActiveStatus = 0
    I normally create both and then a third collection of all devices and exclude the above two which should show you all healthy devices.
    Have a look at the ccmsetup.log file on the client if it has attempted to install the ConfigMgr client but failed.

  • How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

    As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event.  Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want.  However, here's how I do it. 
    Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
    In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

  • I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

    i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

    I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard.  It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion.  The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot.  Had the constant spinner on a grey screen..  did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck.  Crashed my system one too many times.  I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac.  I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive.  I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control.  Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh?  I use the hot corners anyhow.  As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow.  I don't like the new Mail either..
    As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

  • Why does Adobe Reader download turn all my icons into Adobe Icons?

  • Desktop (and other icons) change after Skype updat...

    When I updated Skype to version 7.5 yesterday, some of my desktop and taskbar (also Start Menu) icons immediately disappeared, only to be replaced with standard Windows icons. This involved mostly Microsoft and Adobe programs, including Outlook, Word, Excel, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, but also Google Earth and QuickTime Player.
    I carried out a Icon cache rebuild, but this did not restore the original icons, resulting instead in standard .exe icons or blank (i.e. white) icons. When I tried to change the icon for these programs, I got messages similar to this one (for Adobe Reader):
    Windows cannot find file %SystemRoot%\Installer{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}\SC_Reader.ico.
    Since then I've tried several system restores, and while these have always restored my icons, Skype then no longer works. I've also uninstalled Skype (which was a battle in itself!) and reinstalled the latest version, but the icon problem has returned. The generic icons DO open the programs without problems, but I cannot easily distinguish between the various Microsoft Office applications and Adobe programs.
    As things currently stand, I can have either a working Skype or my desktop (taskbar etc.) icons, but not both. There must be some way around this. I am sure that Windows Installer is in some way involved, but can't undertand how updating or deleting Skype could affect it.

    The issue is still related to the Windows installer.   If you keep Windows up-to-date it should resolve any Windows installer issues with updates that came out after Aug 2014 (unless this a new Windows update issue).  A Windows update at that time create a similar issue due to upgrading the Windows Installer then resolved them in later patches.   The only way to notice the issue was to install any programs that utilized the Windows installer (like Skype).  Some people uninstalled the update but it was a temporary fix (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2918614).  So either the issue you are having is related to that Windows update or possibly a newer one.
    You can try this in case it helps but it's generally for normal shortcuts.  
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
    If that doesn't help the only way to repair registered shortcuts automatically is to perform a repair install of the applications that are affected (via add/remove programs or programs and features in the control panel).  This will restore the individual package to icon association that broke.  Again these advertised shortcuts are tied to the Windows installer and registry.  When you create a shortcut to the exe of a program (like msword.exe) it won't have this type of problem and will still display the normal shortcut even if you don't perform a repair of the application.  If you still want to repair the issue a repair install would be best.
    The latest version for download from Skype is still 7.5.x.102
    Skype 7.5 (exe version)

  • Cannot open desktop and applications icons

    Hi I would appreciate your help. I have had this computer for a year and lately I cannot open desk top icons and icons in applications folder. Someone suggested
    holding the control key and then a menu comes on and ask to open and it works. But
    there must be a better way. I am a writer and a translator so I need this option to work. I really appreciate your help. Many thanks

    Hello Pilatesteacher and welcome to the forums!
    If you really are still on 10.4.8 and have never updated your system, perhaps you have also not realised the importance of a little maintenance from time to time, the most important, and easy, of which is:
    Repairing permissions, which should also always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Is it possible to read information off the desktop and send it to java ?

    Hello. I am wondering if it's possible with Java to read information off the
    screen and send it to a java listener to be interpreted.
    information such as comparable images (ie images that you can match with an
    image you already posess in order to classify it) or simply text.. or colors
    ie could I say for exemple be "listening" at a certain coordinate say 560x76
    0 and whenever that pixel turns a certain color than that activates a functi
    on and sends it the color data.
    or I could be listening for any changes in a small box and whenever that are
    a changes it copy/pastes its contents to be interpreted or compared
    I know this is all pretty advanced.. and obviously it can be done but perhap
    s not with java but I'm hoping someone knows if it can and could give me a p
    ointer like a link so I can read up on it and learn how to do it.
    thanks for you help in any case

    have you considered that perhaps the casino enjoys the fact you have to make a small deposit before you can use one of these companies they have a deal with ?
    hey is it so hard to believe that perhaps the casinos were the ones that came up with the idea in the first place and launched the first calculator products (discreetly of course).
    casinos want to teach you to become a better player every way they can.. no matter how you look at it this always results in more profit for them
    the calculators available right now are either bought for 40-60$ a piece or require that you specifically make a FIRST real cash deposit at one of the sponsored casinos. IE if you're already a real cash player at one of the casinos then the offer doesn't work, you need to sign-up elsewhere and deposit.
    what do deals like that result in on a weekly, monthly and annual basis? millions of dollars through new sign-ups that otherwise would not of been. regulars of one site may become regulars of another site because they were coerced in having to deposit AND play 500 real-money hands in order to fully unlock their calculator's "free license",
    I'd be willing to be that 95% of the time players end up blowing away their "first deposit" waaaaaaaaaaay before they reach the 500 real money hands (heck I made it to 200 hands with my 50$ and I'm sure most don't make it to 50!). So on average it means that for each new calculator user the casinos make a minimum of 100$ and probably much much more.
    if you don't see the marketing catch in it then you're just not looking at it through the money-hungry glasses everyone in the gambling industry wears today
    it's fact that they directly profit from this.. as well as all the other poker advertising and propaganda that we're flooded with today.
    to answer your question now.. well.. if it were that easy then they and their business partners would be losing millions anually over the lost opportunity
