Reader X will not uninstall properly or reintall

I have a corporate distribution version of Reader X that I installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) Remote Desktop Services Server (formally Terminal Server).  The version I am using is for Windows Server 2008.   I have two of these servers one for internal usage and one for external usage.  The internal usage system when a user tried to run the Reader X from the RDS website indicated Reader X did not start on server.  All is ok on the remote site.  I consoled to the internal system and Adobe X ran fine.  I tried to uninstall Reader X and that is where the problems started.
During uninstall the uninstaller stopped working. ??  I went back to add/remove and Reader X was removed but all the contents of the installation directory on the D drive where still present.  I could even browse to the executable and run it.  ??
OK now what!  i tried a reinstall and got the following:
When installing to default location, C drive, I get the following error:  Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\C37BC61A283EBF941A5A3A136A36263F\68AB67CA7DA73301B744A0000000010. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
When installing to D drive I get the following error:  Error 1326. Error getting file security: D:\program files(X86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Onix32.dll GetLastError: 5
As noted can't use add/remove as application is no longer present.  I tried to access and delete key for C drive install but get restriction error.  I'm consoled as domain admin.  I tried deleting the installation directory on the D drive but received "you need permission" error even though again I'm consoled as Domain Admin.
I saw the registry is still littered with Adobe Reader entries.
I contacted support willing to pay the $39 but was told no can't get support for free product but when complained support personnel said he would check and then proceeded to leave me on hold for 45 minutes before I hung-up.
I need assistance or a program to remove all traces of the 10.X install so that I can reinstall it.
Thanks

I tried modifying the registry key indicated for D drive installation and when I do the installer rotates to another registry key.  I really need a Adobe technical support rep to assist.  How do I go about that because when I first call in it seems I get India support and they are not willing to assist.

    Hello Anonymous.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • I have installed a free download from an older version adobe reader and it will not uninstall?

    Most programs unistall easily from the control panels add/remove programs icon application.
    This older version i installed on my computer will not uninstall.
    Any sggestions.
    It tends to stall out or not uninstall at all.
    There is not even an unistall choice available any more on the add/remove programs.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the offline Reader installer from

    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  My only way to recover is to restore my system.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly.  When will Apply provide a workable update?

    iTunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit.  The only way I have found to recover is to restore my system.  I have unistalled/reintalled iTunes two times.  No success.  iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly (following system restore).  When is Apply expected to provide a workable update?

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • QuickTime 7.55.90.70 will not launch properly

    iTunes 8.0.1.11 / QuickTime 7.55.90.70
    Dell Dimension 4600, Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz w/1MB cache, 1024MB DDR SDRAM at 333MHz, Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2
    Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1, Service Pack 3
    I've been successfully running iTunes and QuickTime on this system for over a year. I often use QuickTime to watch iTunes Store-purchased videos when I'm offline.
    The problem started yesterday evening.
    When I launch QuickTime, the window flashes open for a split-second and closes. The program button still appears in the toolbar; however, everything but Move, Mininize and Close are greyed out.
    I tried the following fixes. All have failed.
    1. Ran Windows System Restore to point before problem occurred.
    2. Ran Repair QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
    3. Uninstalled QuickTime from Start Menu / Programs.
    4. Downloaded QuickTime from Apple website and installed. QuickTime would still not run and iTunes stopped working, with error message that QuickTime was missing.
    5. Uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime from Control Panel.
    6. Downloaded QuickTime + iTunes from Apple website and reinstalled.
    7. Deleted all QuickTime preferences files (I found four).
    8. Re-entered registration number for QuickTime. (I upgraded to QuickTime Pro earlier this year.)
    iTunes is now working normally but QuickTime still will not launch properly.
    It's possible that yesterday I launched iTunes while QuickTime was running; it's the only thing I can think of that might have created this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It sounds as if you have more of a problem than I did. I'm not an expert and I'm hesitant to make suggestions that might make the problem worse.
    In the meantime, I do recommend that you back up all of your iTunes music before you do anything else, and get into the habit of backing up on a regular basis.
    Then you might want to try this: completely uninstall both iTunes and QuickTime (using Revo, unless you know how to clean up the registry on your own). Then reinstall both programs (available at the link I posted earlier) and see if that takes care of the problem.
    If this doesn't work, I suggest you start your own thread describing the problem and asking for help. Hopefully an Apple rep -- or at least someone more experienced than I am -- can help you.
    Sorry I can't be more useful, and good luck.

  • QuickTime 7.3.1 will not uninstall

    I tried to update to version 7.4.14 but the older version will not uninstall. I get a splash screen that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resourse that is unavailable" it goes on to say "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below. I've got the install exe for 7.3.1 but do not know how to extract the QuickTime.msi from it because when I run the old executable for 7.3.1 I get the same splash sceen above. Doee anyone know how to resolve this?

    With that complex of symptoms, let's try the following procedure.

    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those QuickTime entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Firefox will not run properly now

    I really need help getting my Firefox to run properly. Earlier this evening I downloaded the epub reader addon from the Firefox addon website. After that I noticed my Firefox was using yahoo as the search engine instead of Google. I've tried the obvious set it to Google but it kept going to Yahoo. I also uninstalled the addon but it still kept searching on Yahoo. So I searched for solutions online. Then I tried the Help>Troubleshooting Information Restart Firefox. This when all the problems began.
    Now every time I go to Google.com or search on the Google toolbar I get the This Connection is Untrusted message
    Screenshot: http://imgur.com/BttGmGU
    Also when I go to certain websites like the mozilla firefox add on website it will not load properly
    Screenshot: http://imgur.com/oIz0XgE
    Can anybody help me with this? I've tried the obvious options like uninstalling and reinstalling but my Firefox refuses to perform normally. Also I still have the old Firefox Data. Is there a way I can restore that data?

    Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

  • Shockwave will not update properly

    Hi. I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home premium, 64 bit system.I  use IE and just installed Firefox, as well. I tried to update Shockwave so I could continue to play my UClick jigsaw puzzle game, and my computer says it installed successfully, but it will not work with my jigsaw puzzle. I have uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but no change in response. When I try to open jigsaw puzzle, the Adobe Shockwave loading graphic appears, but nothing happens.
    Help!

    I understand the two sites are using different plugins/players.  I'm not an idiot.  However as Shockwave for Director is so old it's listed by Firefox as an unknown plugin and described as being a Netscape plugin ("Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1.5.155"), I am merely suggesting that UClick might change to a more recent, robust plugin.

  • Bounjour msi is missing and will not uninstall

    bonjour will not uninstall - bonjour.msi is missing

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I use several avatar forums that have timed features, when I click on them they act as though they have been double clicked or will not display properly.

    When visiting Roliana the Your Posts and Bookmark sections are suppose to load a list of my previous posts or bookmarks, this section is designed to have a cool down period between clicks. Even if it is the first time in a 24 hour window that I click on the link it acts as though I have double clicked or attempted to access it too quickly.
    On another site NeuroGalaxy the games will not work properly, they too act as though I have attempted to access them even though it is the first time in a 24 hour window.
    The last site Kingdom of Knuffle is having an event where one has to click the answer to quiz, it too can only be accessed once a day and when I click on the answer it redirects me as though I have tried to access it multiple times.
    I have attempted to use these functions on other browsers and they work fine, the only thread of similarity between the issues is Firefox and that they are all timed applications in some manner.
    There are no errors to report or other oddities going on, the sites otherwise display and operate properly.

  • My itunes match will not sync properly

    Mac User same thing
    Hello there here is my problem. My itunes match will not sync properly. It shows a lot of songs over 100 with the icloud match status as "Waiting"
    Here is what i have done
    1. Reinstall the entire OS delete everything and start from scratch
    2. Turn on and off itunes match.
    3. Hold down the option key
    4. Move my music out of the music folder clear everything out of my itunes and bing back my music.
    5. Use backup copies of my music in case the music files had been corrupted.
    6. Checked numerious mac community forms that report simular issues.
    7. Tried another macbook pro that I have
    8. My wifes account which has about 8000 songs did no have the issue. My account seems to have the issue sobeservices2. I beleive this to be account specific. My account has 11481 songs and about 100 to 100 show with the status of "waiting"
    9. I get no error messages
    10. I've tried multiple ISP - COMCAST - FIOS - I even tried multiple computers
    11. Redid the entire os
    12. My account has problems "*****s2" but my wife account does not
    13. Replicated the issue on more then one computer it seems only has problems with my itunes account. Suck waiting to upload
    and its not always the same songs sometimes it's different songs that it gets suck waiting to upload.
    14. Removed the waiting songs and attempted again
    15. Started with fresh iTunes had the server match a blank itunes folder  to the point where it said "0 Songs Match" then re-added them
    16. Called Apple Care and spoke with a Senior Advisor who told me he would have to escalate a ticket and he to thought I had done all the tsing possible and that it was up to the engineers to figure out a solution.
    I have been working on this for about 4 weeks now. All my trouble shooting has pointed it to be an account specific issue.
    Any advise from the community

    Hi
    I have had a similar set of issues.  8000 songs, 800 in waiting.  All ripped from CD into Apple Lossless - mainly classical so most didn't match directly.
    First I ripped all these 8000 songs for my father first on his laptop from his CD collection.  Eventually got them all matched or uploaded to his Match account (except one) by the usual tricks people suggest (e.g. recoding as AIFF or MP3 etc, deleting, re-adding blah blah). Though of course I shouldn't really have to waste my time doing this.  One song absolutely refused to upload. Tried everything - including buying a pristine downloadable version off the publisher's website.  Still resolutely refuses to upload.
    Anyway - main problem is now with my PC. I copied all these 8000 tracks over. Re-installed everything etc.  800 remain in "waiting" (even though they uploaded Ok on a different account).  When I rip my own CDs even some common stuff (e.g. Bowie/Stones) gets uploaded instead or matched and often with one or two tracks stuck in 'waiting'.
    If I then look at my IPad (with Match enabled), it will show these waiting tracks as if they were already downloaded to it (which of course they are not). If I try and play one of them it just skips over it.

  • HT1657 I downloaded a film for rental from itunes and it will not play properly,why?

    I rented a film last evening The book of Kells and it will not play properly.  My computer has more than enough memory or whatever it needs and I am using an account I have used in the past with success.  The films starts, then stops, then speeds ahead like it is not successfully loaded.  Any suggestions?

    Where did you download it to and is it a purchase or rental.

  • My Iphone will not charge properly!!!

    I have had my iphone since last november 2012 and it has worked perfectly. However about a month ago when i plugged the lightning cable from the wall into my iphone to charge, i had to bend it into a certain position to get the phone to charge. I figured it was the charger that was busted as at the top of the cable some of the plastic had come away and there was exposed wires, so i purchased another lightning cable from apple, which arrived today. After plugging the new charger into the USB and the wall, the phone will not charge properly again unless the cable is bent into a position where it suddenly starts charging and then unless its kept in that position it will cease to charge. Is this my phone or have i just got unlucky and been sent a faulty charger?? please help.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Please be more specific about "it wont connect back to the computer" so that appropriate troubleshooting steps can be provided.
