Reinstall/Repair Compressor 3.5?

After updating to Snow Leopard, Compressor 3.5 can no longer open files, display windows (other than the settings/output screens) or compress anything. This is true both with projects exported from FCP and when I run the program as a stand-alone. I tossed the preferences and reset the background processes. Is there any way to reinstall/repair Compressor without having to reinstall the entire suite?
Thanks,
Ric

Jon,
Thanks. These guys saved my butt a couple of times with FCS Remover, but in this case their utilities didn't help. I even tried the process outlined in Apple KB TS1888 (manual uninstall).
The "solution" for me was unbelievably weird. After doing my third remove and reinstall and it not working, I realized I missed the important troubleshooting step of testing the program in a fresh test user account. I logged into it and it ran just fine. I then logged back into my normal account, dreading the possibility that the problem would be buried in some mystical cache file that was mine and mine alone. I ran Compressor and it started right up (and I now have a backlog of renders plugging away).
I have no idea why this worked, but if someone else runs into this, it's worth a try.
Thanks,
Ric

PS Elements 3.0 can not reinstall/repair with original cd. how can i fix this?

i am trying to repair Photoshop Elements 3.0 by reinstalling it. The computer is launching the home page off of the CD and allowed me to install Adobe Reader 6.0. When I tried to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 from the same home page I get the pop up box: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 3.0 INSTALLER INFOR... Please insert the disk: 1 OK / CANCEL. the disk is already in the drive so i click OK and i can hear it running but then i get the same pop up box asking to insert the disk. i have opened the drive and closed the drive but that didnt help. i have opened the files and tried to manually run the setup.exe but i still get the pop up box asking to insert the disk. How can I reinstall/repair my PS Elements 3.0 without the disk? ( I also updated to 3.0.1 and this didnt help)

if the disk wasnt reading for a repair/reinstall will it read for a regular install?
if i uninstall and reinstall will i loose all of my tags?

Application shortcut causes reinstall/repair of application....

I'm working with an application (win 7, vb.net) and I'm trying to work around some odd behavior of my application shortcut. Here is a summary of the problem:
My app installs and places a shortcut on the Desktop.
I go into my application's directory and modify any files.
Go back to the Desktop shortcut and click on it.The application appears to perform a reinstall/repair and will replace any files I have modified.
I need to figure out what is causing this and how I can fix my application or shortcut so I can stop this behavior.
If I re-create a new shortcut, from the executable, I do not see that behavior but I don't want to have to create a new shortcut in this case.
Thanks.

This is a feature in MSI when you enable advertise shortcuts and has nothing to do with .Net so your question is off-topic here.
The default install directory is program files which is read only by default. You may want to redesign your app right now if you do any writing in the
install directory. The place to put your writable data is under application data.

Hi James_uk,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with factory reset on your ThinkPad E530.
If you have not done any changes in the HDD partition, you can use F11 to perform the system recovery.
Below is the link where you can download the user manual to know the complete details on preinstalled OS.

TS3297 I have installed, reinstalled, repaired, retarted and followed all trouble-shooting tasks; Now I am getting "Apple Supprt Application not found: error 2(Windows 5). Please uninstall and reinstall itunes. I have done that. It is listed in my progra

I am trying to install itunes on my computer (Windows Vista). After initial instillation I got an error 42404 A required itunes componenet is not installed; please repair or re-intall itunes and error 50, cannot access itunes store at this time. Please try later. I have done that multiple times; uninstalled all components, reinstalled all components, repaired all components, restarted my computer. I have changed firewall settings to allow acess to all of the apple components. I have made sure the required ports are open.

I am now getting an error message that says that Apple Support Application is not found error 2 (windows 5). It is listed in the installed programs and I have repaired it.
I am out of options. And help would be appreciated.

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Can't reinstall/repair Acrobat 9 Std w/ disk & serial #

I bought a Dell Latitude laptop a few years back, and it came with a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard installed on it. Recently I've started having several issues with the software (it crashes just about everytime I try to open a PDF file), so I decided that it's time to reinstall.
I got the Acrobat disk that came with the laptop. It isn't a "Dell" disk, it's actually an Adobe disk with the serial number printed on a sticker on the back. I put the disk in, run Setup, and choose the option for Repair (or Modify, either way the end result is the same).
Then the "Install" begins:
Then, about a minute after the "Install" begins, I get a pop-up that says:
What is the EFG CD? The only Acrobat CD that came with my computer is already in the drive.. and running the install software. I've tried Googling the "EFG CD" reference, and searching for it here on this site. No luck. I've tried clicking OK. I've tried running the setup w/ admin rights. I've even tried browsing the contents of the disk and running the other various setup-looking applications, all with no luck.
Here's the contents of the disk:
The contents of the text file ".CD_Info.txt" shown above reads:
CD Part Number: 90086662;
CD Description: Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Windows English/French/German;
CD Build Date: Thu Jun 12 04:30:12 2008
I'm running Windows 7 Professional x32, will all updates installed (as of today). I have a pretty tidy system, no issues with malware. Rebooting doesn't fix this issue.
Here's the prompt I get when Acrobat crashes:

Not every PDF file seems to make it crash, but about 75% of files will. Once I click the "Close the program" button, the Acrobat immediately shuts down.
Here's a link to a PDF file that consistently crashes every time I try to open it.

An uninstall should only be used as a last resort. When problems arise, the first step is to go to Help>Repair and do a repair on your installation. When you reinstall, you also have to redo all of the updates.
You did not mention your OS, but if it has been working for a long time that is probably not an issue. You might also turn off JavaScript in Acrobat for a while to see if it is a JavaScript issue. Hopefully not, but it is possible. When it fails, be sure note the activity that was occuring at the time. I had no problem opening your PDF in AA9.5.4.
If you do ultimately decide to reinstall. Do the uninstall, remove the Acrobat folder in case there are any issues there, run the cleaner, then reboot and reinstall, followed by the updates.
Just a thought. You might want to move the plugins to a temporary folder. If you have no problem, then it may be a plugin that is an issue.

Reinstall (repair) CC app to fix Ps display issue

Now I have two issues.
#1 - Photoshop (Ps) stopped displaying brush spray correctly. Looks like sandpaper and should be smooth airbrush quality. Had been working. Issue is present with stylus (pen) or mouse. Tried many brushes and parameter changes with no real effect. Pressure sensitivity is still present.
#2 - In trying to fix this issue, I wanted to repair Ps. I learned there was no "repair", so I uninstalled normally through Control Panel. Now I can't reinstall from CC. CC thinks Ps still there, but it's not.
System: Lenovo Yoga Win 8.1 with stylus.

#1, post on the photoshop forum.

Reinstall/repair Apache Installation from base system

Hi,
I use Snow Leopard and I was not aware of the fact that php and apache2 comes with the base installation. I delete now some .so files like /usr/libexec/apache/modauthnfile.so, so I'm not able to start apache anymore.
How can I reinstall apache so that the deleted files will be restored?
Thanks for help,

Hello,
Option 3 (advanced): Use the command line and the fsck_hfs -l command.
Start up your computer and log in as an administrator.
Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
At the prompt, type the following command and then press Return to determine your filesytem ID:
df -hl
Look for some lines of text that look like this:
Filesystem     Size   Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s3    37G    20G    17G    55%    /
/dev/disk0s5    37G    37G   641M    98%    /Volumes/Storage
Make a note of the first "disk" name that appears after /dev/, such as "disk0s3." This is your filesystem ID for your startup volume.
At the prompt, type the following command and then press Return:
df -hl
Then type the following command, where "disk0s3" is your filesystem ID you noted in step 4, then press Return:
sudo fsck_hfs -l /dev/disk0s3
When prompted, enter your admin password, then press Return to begin the verification.
You should see messages like these during the disk check:
** /dev/rdisk0s3 (NO WRITE)
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
** Checking multi-linked files.
** Checking Catalog hierarchy.
** Checking Extended Attributes file.
** Checking volume bitmap.
** Checking volume information.
** The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.

Reinstall/repair adobe reader 11.0.08 on win xp pro sp3 - ole trouble.

Hi,
i want to reinstall adobe reader 11.0.08 on win xp pro sp3.
Reinstallint using setup seem to work, but ole is not working: e.g. from word , I do insert object, click ole , select adobe acrobat object, then app freezes.
2 processes are created dor adobe reader and I have to do "end-task".
Inserting another ole object (e.g. excel) works!
I tried uninstall from control panel.
I also downloaded and ran acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_061713 and acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p2_061713 (downloaded from your web site), then reboot and reinstall. No change!
Any hint?

Hi albourg,
Try disabling the protected mode in Reader and check the performance.
You can find the option at: Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Enable Protected Mode at startup

Reinstall/Repair 9i and other tools

Had a hard drive crash on a Win NT 4.0 system, SP-6. Entire O/S was wiped out and had to be reinstalled. My Oracle 9i installation was on another drive, and is completely intact.
Is there a way to reload the various parameters of the Oracle installation back into the NT registry, environment, program groups etc, without having to start from scratch? Does the installer have a way (or another program) to analyze the various files and directories found with Oracle and recreate everything?
The NT emergency disk was useless, so no registry entries were saved.

All I can say is... Boy am I glad I have an ATI card that just works (and that's including Photoshop CS4/CS5 32/64 bit)!
One thing I'm not sure was mentioned above... Try changing your Advanced OpenGL preferences to "Basic" or even turning off OpenGL to see if it affects the issue. Also try disabling the Show Overlay function in the CLONE SOURCE palette.
Best of luck getting to the bottom of these problems, guys. If they run on too long, consider switching brands.

Cs3 install/repair/reinstall, install component failed-----SOLUTION!!!

Ok, after searching the internet for solutions on how to install/reinstall/repair CS3, I found I was not satisfied with anyone's answers.
Well, I've finally got it!
Do what adobe tells you---run that script (CS3clean).
However, after running the script, you will notice that the installation will still fail. So to get around that, go into your folders and delete any folder that says Adobe. Check your hidden folders too!
               C:\Users\<your username>\AppData
                         check in local, roaming, and locallow
There are adobe folders in I think all those locations. Go to Add/Remove Programs, too and delete anything adobe (I took no chances because installing takes forever, and it's frustrating to see the "component failed to install" message).
Also as a precaution, I turned off my firewall.
That did it for me!!! Good luck, and I hope this helps.

I have a MacBook Pro and all of the sudden I can't open MS Word. I can open all other Office applications. What's up? I have reinstalled, reset PRAM, done a Safe Boot, and Repaired Permissions. Nothing works. Help...

I have ms office 2011 for mac. I cannot open the "word" program. Everything else powerpoint and excel works just fine. The problem is with word only. The icon just bounces until I force quit. I tried to reinstall, repaired permissions, etc. please help.

Try posting on the MS Office for Mac user forums - here's a direct link to the Word forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword.
It might be that you just need to update. Do you have the Office updater set to check for updates every week or so? Note that the updater actually only works when you restart or cold boot.
Try the forum - they've always been very helpful for me...
