ThinkPad E545 - After Win 8.1 update: Can't start Dolby Audio ...

I have just updated my ThinkPad E545 to Windows 8.1 today. Every time after computer boots up, I get an Error message starting like "Dolby Advanced Audio - Can't start Dolby Audio. If this problem will stay restart the computer. I have Czech Wins that's why it should be little bit different. After restart the computer the note is there again. I found discussion where are helps like Uninstall Conexant, restart and then Install again. But the problem is still there. Maybe I do some mistake. Can anyone help me?

hi Sperl19,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Your Dolby may not be synced with the Audio driver after the update,
Since Audio driver may had been updated by the 8.1 but not the Dolby app.
Here's what to do:
Open Device Manager
Uninstall the Audio Device Under Audio inputs and outputs
Then proceed to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall a Program
Uninstall all Dolby Related programs
Restart if Prompted
Now install this software driver
Conexant Audio Driver
Now open Drive C: on the upper right hand side of the screen you will find a Search pane
Type in "aa" and hit search
You should find 1 of the result as dolby or if not post a screen shot of the results here
If ever you found it install that and it should bring your dolby back
Hope this helps
Cheers!

G780 - Windows 8.1 update - Can't Start Dolby Audio Driver

I just updated my G780 to Windows 8.1 this morning. every time I boot up the computer, I get an Error message stating" Dolby Advanced Audio - Unable to start the Dolby Audio driver. Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists. I have restrtaed the computer and I do not know where the driver is for this or where to install it. Please help. Computer is just over a month old.

hi
The Driver I gave you is very huge (185MB)
      This is because it contains the dolby installer,
         It depends on the Version where it will be located after installing the audio driver
and what name it will have,
Try Searching then for Dolby but make sure you open you drive C: and do the search
or otherwise
      Try Navigating these folders
                 Open My Computer or ThisPC open you Drive C:
Now we'll look for the dolby Advanced audio installer
      Look for these folders as these are through my experience where it goes
                  Also when you find the right folder you will find two of them together (Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Home Theater) just install what came with your system the dolby advanced audio.
             C: Drivers / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Program files x86 / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Program files x86 / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
Trust me its in your PC now you just need to look for the installer

Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
How do I get the original Pro version again?
The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
How do I get the licenses number?
I'm A bit sour ... how Toshiba is helping me?

Hi
Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
[Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
It was not Pro version.
You can also check all the details about this notebook on the Toshiba Unit Details
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/
I will need to put the serial number to get the information.

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
P.S. If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply. If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

I can't start an audio or video in ichat 6 on Lion

I chat used to work for me. Now I can't start up audio or video chats.
The error message I get is
"iChat can’t start the audio chat."
"Your computer is busy in another chat."
I have tried the following
restart ichat
reinstall ichat
remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat*
I am using gtalk as my account.
Any help would be awesome
Nathan

Hi,
In Snow Leopard iChat and Face Time could be open at the same time and in fact use the camera (and or mic) at the same time.
I am not sure this is possible in Lion so I would launch Face Time and check that it is Off in the Preferences.
Although deleting all the com.apple.ichat .plists is excessive it should have closed any Open Chat (or what it thought was open) when you restarted. (Although you don't say you have restarted iChat since deleting them)
However there is one setting that may have upset this.
In System Preference > General Pane (Used to be the Appearance pane) is a check box to Cause any Open window on Quit to be reopened on any app launch.
If any window is Minimised to the DOCK that is where it is put back. (If it is trying to reconnect an audio or Video Chat this may be an Invite window)
As iChat can do Video and Audio Chats Peer-to-Peer it is pointless deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist or the Jabber one or in fact the Yahoo one as once a chat is started you can log out of the relevant Buddy List (Make that Account Off Line).
It is possible that this a a new style Message in Lion to Say "Your Camera/Mic is in use in another application"
As Reinstalling (Hopefully iChat 6) and deleting all the .plist and then restarting should have given you a clean slate, as it were, it is difficult to see what the issue could be or what to suggest next.

Yoga 13 after Win 8.1 update - apps for Netflix, CNN, ESPN, etc. will not play video - WTH?

Can someone point me to where I can download the right driver(s) / updates that fix thw Windows 8.1 mess that crippled video playback in the Modern/Metro Win8 interface please?
I had other issues with wireless (which I fixed by buying a Linsys 802.11ac USB nub - finally decent range & performance), but really want to get this Win 8.1 video playback issue fixed.
OS is Windows 8.1

Monitor driver is generic PnP Monitor by Microsoft, dated 6/21/2006
Driver Version 6.3.9600.16384
Purchased the system May, 2013.
Very disappointed that Microsoft/Intel/Lenovo forced this 8.1 "upgrade" on us without having checked it for flaws in operation like this. I've read other people having this, and similar problems, so any fixes / suggestions / links are greatly welcomed.

(Note that all of the following applies only to the Yoga 13)
I think the previous reply is inaccurate in several ways. Let me address each one:
"Seems like the fix for many of our Windows 8.1 update issues is to roll back to the Windows 8 drivers Lenovo offers on its site (Conexant Audio Driver in this case)"
This isn't quite correct. There is no need to "roll back" to any previous driver versions. What actually happened with the Windows 8.1 upgrade is that the Windows installation process reinstalled or refreshed all of the drivers in the system, and for some reason this driver installation process screwed up and left some drivers not functioning correctly. In almost all cases the solution is to simply reinstall that driver with the current/same version. The Conexant driver is the poster child for this problem. The version of the driver that comes with the Windows 8.1 upgrade is the same as the version on the Lenovo site. However it is often necessary to reinstall this driver to get it installed correctly.
I just want to reiterate that this is not a version problem, it's a problem with the way 8.1 reinstalled the drivers. This need to reinstall drivers affected people differently, with some people needing to reinstall other drivers as well, such as the Intel Thermal Framework drivers, etc.
Windows 8.1 comes with newer versions (also newer than the reposted drivers on the Lenovo site) of the network Wifi drivers that for my system have been an improvement. However I have not experienced a lot of the Wifi issues that others have reported. The only issue I have had with Wifi is that it was always a bit slow to connect after coming out of sleep mode (30-60 seconds). After the 8.1 upgrade my Wifi connects very fast (less than 5 seconds).
Windows 8.1 also came with an updated Intel graphics driver that is newer than the one on the Lenovo site. I am not aware of any problems with this new version.
My Yoga 13 is now functioning perfectly after the 8.1 update, although I did have to perform the reinstall of the Conexant drivers, and I had to reapply the fix for the touch screen missing the first swipe. I recommend the list of Yoga 13 fixes mentioned on this site.
"Microsoft or Lenovo should add a setting to the "Configure Windows Update" options - it should be "Wait 6 months after the update is published for it to stabilize"
I don't agree with this as the drivers that come with 8.1 weren't unstable or problematic. Again, the problem is with the 8.1 installation process, and I do agree that Microsoft should work on fixing that. It has certainly caused a lot of people some grief, but it also seems that we have a solution which is the driver reinstalls.
I also don't recommend turning off Windows update.
Finally, it may be that some of the issues you bulleted are more serious than I am aware, as I haven't had all of these problems. I would like to know more about these:
"Kill the video / audio in Windows Apps (aka "Modern" interface) - Netflix, ESPN videos, CNN videos, etc. "
This is certainly a common problem. At least we have the fix for this (reinstall the Conexant drivers).
"Degrade WLAN performance (range and speed)"
I am skeptical that 8.1 is responsible for Wifi issues. Seems like in general the new 8.1 network stack is better. I know that many people had wifi issues prior to the update.
"Fuzz out the resolution / display such that Display has to be turned down from 150% to "small""
I don't know about this issue, so I would like to hear more.
Mess up touchpad, keyboard, tablet-mode keyboard
This again seems more like a problem that existed before 8.1, as many people had issues with this. The most consistent solution seems to be disabling the "ymc" service.

Auto-brightness Won't Turn off after Win 8.1 update

I have a Y510P, and I got the Win 8.1 update about a month ago. Since then, my screen auto-dims whenever the average color of the screen is darker than plain white. So every time I am on a website that has a picture (like Facebook), as soon as I scroll to it, my entire screen dims. Also, I cannot watch videos without my laptop being plugged in because the screen is too dark to watch it on.
When my laptop is plugged in, I have no issues. Also, even after the brightness is decreased, it tells me that my brightness is turned up all the way.
I went into the advanced settings in control panel and have auto-brightness disabled, but it isn't helping. I tried accessing the NDIVIA settings to see if it's in there, but all I can access are simple controls, none of which affect brightness.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

this happened to me aswell please help

Problem installing iTunes update: "Can't start" iTunes "because MSVCR80.dll is missing" from my computer. Please help!

Please help! I tried to update my iTunes as prompted, but it did not install correctly, and now I am getting the following message and do not know how to fix the problem:
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix the problem."
Another window gives me this message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
BUT I AM AFRAID TO REINSTALL iTUNES and lose my library! Would greatly appreciate learning how to resolve this porblem without losing my music!
Cheers!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

E145: can't restore after Win 8.1 update

Hi all, updated my E145 to Win 8.1 and installed some programs. Then had to do a restore. So pressed F11 on startup and clicked through the messages. As a target OS only 8.1 was listed?! Choosed it and then the recovery process stops. Systems says: PC can't be restored because there's a partition lacking (sorry for the bad translation, I'm on a German Windows).
So now I'm stuck...
Any help appreciated!

I appairantly have the same problem on Lenovo E545 so I made a topic about it. Now I found this simmilar topic, any help would be welcome for me 2

BLACK SPOTS ON IE AFTER WIN 8.1 UPDATE

Hi,
I have a Satellite C855-S5349. After update to Win 8.1, black and blinking spots appear on IE. Scrolling up/down or sliding the mouse in top of the stops, make those disappear. I checked IE updates, are up to date. Also i checked Toshiba updates, same thing. I attached a pic.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Solved!

I can only suggest now that you Refresh the Windows files. That will not disturb data files, but will require that you reinstall desktop applications. You would also need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 again.

After 10.9.4 update can't access certain websites from any browser

I just updated to 10.9.4 Saturday evening the 26th.   Sunday morning I noticed that I was unable to get to some websites but they worked from the ipad and other devices in the house so I rebooted thinking something odd was going on post update.   It happened again a few times until I realized a pattern. I can not get to facebook, mail.google.com, google.com or most SSL only websites. Sites that redirect you to an SSL URL just sit there until they eventually time out. I can go to cnn.com but I can't load apple.com
if I try to go to bing.com which surprisingly doesn't force you to SSL it loads every time.   This is reproducible in SafarI, Firefox, and Chrome consistently. Rebooting no longer resolves the issue and I couldn't even come here to post this from the iMac because the discussion website eventually forces you to use SSL. (Actually, while posting this that URL eventually appeared after a very long wait. Other websites eventually time out entirely. Safari fails to load Facebook at all)

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

ATPVBAEN.XLAM!Regress 64 bit crash after win 8.1 update

I've repaired, quick and online, removed, reinstalled, downloaded fixits uninstall that cleans the registry and reinstalled. nothing works.
only this one command won't work and it works on other machines with no issues. have latest updates for win 8.1 and excel office 365

Hi Appraiser Genie,
I found you have posted the
similar thread a few days ago, I suppose they are the same issue. As Ethan said, we need to collect the event logs and see if any related error is logged.
On the other hand, we have not received the related issue report about the updates of Windows 8.1 in Feb. Thus, I can't confirm this issue causes by these updates. I recommend you remove these updates to check if this issue still occurs.
If you have any update, please feel free let us know.
Regards,
George Zhao

It's recommended to download and install

Dynadock U3.0 - Not able to use Ethernet port after Win 8.1 update

Hi everybody,
i am using a Dynadock u3.0 dock with my Vaio SCP 13.
Since I updated my device to Windows 8.1 Update 1 I am not able to use the Ethernet port of the Dynadock.
Before that everything worked fine.
I am not able to reinstall the drivers correctly (tried 7.6m0, 7.5m2). While the driver insaller tries to start i am getting an error message, that the installer is not able to set a bunch of registry Keys (SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DisplayLinkGA\D evice1) (till 0). (Image 1)
If i ignore those messages and do install the driver, the Ethernet port will remain uninstalled in the device manager. (Image 2)
If I try to install the driver manually (DisplayLink Network Adapter NCM), Ill get an error message that a driver was found but that the access was denied. (Image 3)
I started the safe mode and could install the driver. But if I reboot to normal mode, the device could not be started.
I also tried to disable UAC and I am logged in as the "real" administrator.
Please find the error messaged attached (in German):
[image 1]: http://picload.org/image/lcalwop/toshiba.png
[image 2]: http://picload.org/image/lcalwoc/toshiba2.png
[image 3]: http://picload.org/image/lcalwlg/toshiba3.png
BTW: If I unzip the installer (7.6m0) and install the *inf for the right ven&dev (4503) it still does not work...
I dont know what to do anymore...

Hi
After Windows 8.1 upgrade, you should also update the Display Link driver/software
This is very important!
The latest driver can be downloaded here:
http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php
Note: the old version should be removed!

After Quicktime 7.6 update, can't load i-tunes, logic or quicktime

Hello everyone.
Would really appreciate some help here.
I'm running a macbook pro (OS 10.4.11, Logic Pro 7.2.3)
In order to view some video files for a project I'm working on, I updated quicktime to 7.6.4, the latest Tiger will run (according to the apple webite). Now neither quicktime, i-tunes nor Logic will load.
I tried updating i-tunes to 9.2.1, but it still doesn't work.
Tried downgrading quicktime, but it won't let me.
Updating to Logic 8, or OS 10.5+ isn't an option at the moment. I just need a few more months out of this laptop, to finish some long-term projects.
What to do? Really stuck now.
thanks in advance
Guy

Did you use Disk Utility to verify your drive before installing? Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions both before and after doing the installation? If not, you may have a corrupt drive (in which case the computer is losing track of files), or permissions are set so components couldn't be replaced or read.
Did you download the update files, or did you use Software Update to install? Many use Software Update but a lot of us prefer to have the updater safe and sound on our computer before letting it run.
Boot from your system installation disc and run Disk Utility to verify your hard drive. If necessary, run repair. Then boot from your internal disc and use Disc Utility there to repair permissions on your computer. Try re-installing the update with a downloaded version. repair permissions again.
Oh, before doing any update it is a good idea to make a bootable backup clone of your drive so you can restore again should something go wrong.

After most recent Reader update can't save fillable forms.

After the most recent Adobe Reader XI update, we can no longer save PDFs with fillable forms on the first save attempt. A little background for you. We have forms that we periodically need to change the information in. My users came to me with this issue, when I tried it, I could save. Naturally I thought it was a rights issue since I am an admin, but I checked for Reader updates first to make sure I was on the same version. There were updates for mine, after installing them I have the same issue now. When I change the data in a fillable form, the first attempt to save I am told that it can't be saved and I will need to use a different filename or location. I click OK, after clicking OK my document name in the title bar canges from whatever.pdf to something random.tmp. Now, since it is technically a different document open I can save it to the file I want it to be. Is there a new option or function causing this? This has never been an issue in the past with these PDFs.

Hi,
Are you still facing this issue? What is the current version of Reader installed.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.
