Reset AAM or move Programs to D:/Adobe
Hi there, I feel like such a fool for asking this but I was wanting to move all my CC applications to my D drive as my main drive is a SSD and is low on space. I am working remote today and wont be home until 8PM EST.
I'm a little OCD, I changed the AAM to point to D:\Adobe and figured I would have to go to Add Remove Programs and remove all my CC Applications then go back in to AAM and re-download them ensuring that the D:\Adobe folder is selected.
Where my OCD comes in to play is I want to restore it to say "Default Location..." until I get home tonight, I know it may be such a trivial thing and I will be changing it tonight but is there a way to restore it? I tried to run the clean up utility and removed just hte CC installer which then forced me to re-install the AAM but all the prefrences and my user information was still there.
I have checked all the sub folders in %appdata%, %temp%, C:\ApplicationData, c:\Program Files\Common Files\, C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files, C:\Program Files\Adobe, C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe. I then started searching through the Registory and couldnt find anything pertaining to AAM, I have looked at all the .XML, DB, etc files I can find, I am just going in a OCD fit trying to fix it.
Then again I could just tell my self to wait 6 hours and just leave it alone.
I guess at the end of the day I have a stupid question, would it be fine to remove the programs in add/remove programs and just reinstall them in the proper D;\Adobe location I hav made? Also if anyone knows how to move the programs without re-installing them that would be amazing too.
Also I cant re-download them right now as I am on a 3G connection and downloading just one of the programs would eat too much of my data allotment.
Thanks for bearing with me.

Yeah I just decided to get over it and wait till last night, once I got home I removed everything and re-installed the new CC editions to my D drive, all is working well. Yeah I know some of the things do place things in C, most Adobe Products put a LOT of things in %appdata% but at least the bulk of the sofware is off my tiny SSD drive. I even decided to move Visual Basic Pro while I was at it, (that took longer than all the Adobe products combined), anyways, thanks for replying to me.

adobe support is hopeless, there must be a better way, if not it might be better to get a different movie program. is anyone having the same problem?
This is like buying a GM car and being told to talk to otherGM customers on how to fix your car yourself. It it the blind leading the blind. I have wasted many days and weeks because I cannot find solutions. I have rarely gotten a solution from any similar forum, and more often been told by other members that I should buy what they have or that I should not want to make this or that type a disc, etc., and rarely a suggestion that is useful.

I have Adobe Video Collection V2.6. (Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5).
All of the collection will load on my system except Adobe Premier Pro.
My system is:
Dell Precision 670 Work Station
Intel Xeon CPU 3.2GHz
3.19 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
MS Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition
Version 2003
Service pack 2, v.4566
When I try to load Adobe Premiere Pro I am presented with the follow statement:
Runtime Error
Program…iles (86)Adobe\Premiere Pro 1.5\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Question: How do I correct the Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 Runtime Error? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
NotAProBill and Harm,
I spent 16 hours yesterday blending everything from Microsoft and Dell that
I could find relating to my problem. During all of this I lost all sound,
including playback and record on Adobe Audition 3 on another partition. I
worked until midnight last night and came back to my computer this morning
at 2:00 AM to continue. When I turned on the computer and checked, all of
the icons for the CD & DVD units, internet phone were in place and
everything worked. Adobe Audition now records and plays back...just like old
times. I have no idea which of the changes I made corrected my problem but
the problem is solved. Just wanted you gentlemen to know. It is reassuring
to know that there are folks “out there” a novice can count on. I will now
add the 8 GB of RAM but will not move to Windows 7 as yet. Thanks again for
your help.

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video
Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible? -

Hi!
I got this error while trying to uninstall my Adobe Reader MUI 9.5.4.: "Error: 2330. Error getting file attributes: C:\Program Files (x86)\adobe\reader 9.0\reader\amt. GetLastError: 117". The message pops after a long long while.
I have to remove my Adobe Reader because whenever I try to open a pdf I get the error: "Adobe failed to load it's core DLL" (something like that). I want to remove and re-install adobe reader.
I ran TDSSKiller and nothing was found abnormal.
I checked the registry and everything seems fine.
I tried to repair/change the current Adobe Reader version and nothing happens.
I tried to install a newer version of Adobe reader but the installer freezes at 96%.
I'm using Win7. Can anyone help? Thanks!You may also find this useful:

I am trying to update and am getting this error message. Error 1321. The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file c:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Resource\Font\MinionPro-It.otf. I am the systems administrator so I am at a bit of a loss.
You need to log in as the administrator (seems like you are) and may need to disable anti-virus. You might want to copy the otf file and then uninstall that font, trying again.

Hi, I get this message (loosely translated from Swedish):
"Could not write to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroPDF.NOR.
Confirm that you have access to this file"
when I try to install Acrobat standard 7.0, and after several "retry" I cannot finish the installation.
Does anyone know why?
Thank you,
MIaAppears that you are on a Win7, 64-bit machine. AA 7 has an issue with activation since the server no longer exists for AA 7. There is a separate install at Adobe to address this issue that might solve the problem temporarily (Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3). Even if you get AA 7 installed on Win7, you will have to do workarounds to make it work. Both the print driver (Adobe PDF) and AcroTray.exe fail on Win7 and they require workarounds to be able to even use AA 7. It is strongly recommended that you get AA XI at this point.

I am trying to update my Photoshop 7.0 on a new Computer using Windows 7, but I am getting the message C:\Program Files (x86\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\ is not there. I installed 7.0 from my original disk and the directory does exist. I had no issues when I updated in Windows XP. Is there a compatibility issue with Windows 7?
Thank YouThe updater under the Help menu in photoshop 7 won't work and hasn't for many years.
Is the error you get about finding the photoshop..exe when you try install the ps 7.0.1 update from the link above?

Did you try right clicking on the ps 7.0.1 updater and selecting Run as Administrator? -
Problem converting WMV movie file to format Adobe After Effects can read...
Need HELP...
Trying to convert a windows WMV movie clip so that Adobe After Effects can read, as the Mac OSX version of After Effects does not like WMV.
Any help appreciated.
Maxi'm with the Captain's answer, Flip4Mac's Windows Media Components will allow you to work with the files directly in AE or other QT compliant application
but whilst the free player version will allow you to view the files, you'll need to pony up for at least the Player Pro version if you intend to transcode to another format (otherwise the copy will have a Flip4Mac watermark) -

I am trying to download the free Adobe Reader and I get the message Error1321:The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Readerwow_helper.exe. I do not know how to fix this.
Hi Koncar,
Kindly try the steps mentioned below.
1) Download the Adobe Reader.msi from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/
2) Run the .MSI for Reader and when you get the error click on Retry and installation would go trough.
Thanks,
