Why is the E65 such a disappointment?

I liked my E65 but I've gone off it now.
My first one was replaced because the rubber coating started to peel off after 2 or 3 months creating bold patches, which is annoying because I look after my phones.
The second wasn't ringing, flashing or doing anything when people called. It just showed missed call.
Hopefully the third one will be better.
I just wish that nokia would hurry up release some new firmware!

I've had problems too with this phone.
One question.. This is a smart phone right? Then how come you can't add birthdays to calendar??? This is such a disappointment, especially for people who always forget birthdays!
Some old Nokia phones still have this feature. You can have birthday reminders. but with this phone, you can add people's birthdays in their contact details, but the phone doesn't add the birthdays to calendar, therefore you won't get a reminder when that person's birthday is nearing.
Such a disappointment from Nokia, especially from a symbian smart phone!
I will buy an old Nokia phone instead of this or stick to my walkman Sony Ericsson!
Sony Ericsson rocks! I can't wait to get my hands on the new K850! lookie http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k850-pictures-2003.php
Check there's more problems with the E65!

Why is the camera such poor quality to take still pictures.

I have been trying other a
Apps to see if the quality of the still shots can get better.
No such luck. It just looks like a grainy picture.
Is there anything that can make this take good still pictures?
Especially for the price you pay for one of these things?

Yes I must admit the camera on the Iphone is very good.
Yes the Ipad is well bait big to hold in the palm of your hand so to speak.
But it would be nice to be able to take a quick snap if a picture becomes apparent.
It would have been nice to have the Iphone camera in the Ipad2.
Oh well just have to be disappointed about this feature.
Question to any one. Is there an app that allows you to take a picture from a movie you made on the Ipad2 at all?
As the camera picture is clear enough for me when I pause it.
Thanks

Why is the iPages 5.0 (not beta on iCloud) getting such bad reviews? I was interested in trying it.

We would be grateful if you could point out any errors in the list, but we do check.
The list does not claim features moved to the System are "missing". There are separate lists of added and changed features.
There are many people who claim to know what they are talking about but on closer examination it becomes clear they really do not know much about iWork, nor about the features they claim to have "found" in Pages 5.
I would be hesitant to claim that you were part of the beta testing of Pages 5 for 2 reasons.
1. Apple does ask you to sign a non-disclosure agreement
2. You then are part of the problem
Maybe, now you have disclosed that you were testing, you can explain how on Earth something so bad was released on an unsuspecting public, with no warning of what Apple had done and that it would alter/damage users' work.

If the data network is not available for some time, to get it again we need to restart the phone instead it is not finding the data network instantly. why cant the iphone searches data net work offten if not available. i am totally disappointed with this!

Still it could not find the data network.it searches for voice network instantly and works too. but even full voice network available, there is no data network.when i restart the phone it could find data network.
Already i reset network settings for two times.

I download Fruit Ninja but it failed bec of it's MB but I was billed so why would I pay such game when it was not successfully downloaded in my ipad2? If I cud install it then I shall pay the thing.

You paid for it because you bought it, there is nothing stopping you from now downloading it. If it is over 20 meg in size then you either need to switch to a wifi network on your iPad (there is a 20 meg limit per file over 3G), or try downloading it on your computer and then either sync it across to the iPad or drag-and-drop it from the Apps library in iTunes over and onto your iPad 'device'.
If you can connect the iPad to wifi then re-try downloading it (re-downloading) - f it currently shows as 'waiting' on the screen then try a reset and see if it resumes downloading after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games it doesn't want to start the game it sending me a message about apps...what does that mean?

why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games... firefox doesn't want to open the game the message is sending that their something with the apps..what does that mean?....what is plugin...what do I do for that?

The usual explanation is that it is a licensing issue. It's not Apple refusing to support an MS product (they support loads of others, like QuickLook for Office docs). MS won't let Apple have it. (The Linux-based solutions are third-party reverse engineered.)
That having been said, I've never had a problem plugging an NTFS drive and reading files from it. Why does it take you an hour?
I've never had a problem with a Mac-formatted USB thumb drive not writing either. It's possible that the hardware/software that Apple uses is more sensitive to cheaper thumb drives, but I'm guessing here.

Why does the Ni-Motion Torque-Control Program give me such an oscillation???

Hello,
I really hope to find somee help here...I have a UMI-7744 and I would like to do force control for a servo motor. I have tried the NI-Motion example "Torque Cntrl Using Monitoring Force"...it seems to be quite easy - it constantly measures the current force and compares the ADC-values with the target force. The difference between the two is then new relativ position...
When I test it with an actuator that does not touch the workpiece (current force==>0N) and then tell it to apply 50N (ADC-value of ~1000) then of course it starts moving towards the workpiece, but then overshoots quite significantly when it touches it, then undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots....etc....
(1) Apart from the big overshoot, I would have assumed that the failure decreases over time and the force will be maintained at some point, but the actuator keeps on oscilating around the target force with quite high amplitudes.......does any body have an idea for the reason?????....How is it possible that the controller actually approaches the target force, ie. the over/undershoot should get smaller with every cycle...
(2) I was assuming that the problem is because I load quite large relative positions (1000 - 0 = 1000) while the actuator is not yet in contact with the workpiece which then causes the overshoot when the actuator touches the workpiece. Hence, I tried limiting the relative positions to +/- 100, but it seems that it does not improve anything. The actuator still never maintains a steady force.Any idea, why limiting the relative positions does not have an effect on the oscillation??
(3) I have seen that the use a delay of 50ms. Hence every 50ms a new target position is loaded. Is there any experience of what the BEST time delay is for motion control???? Is it better to decrease the delay to adjust the relative position more often OR would this have negative effects because the moves don;t have enough time to complete??????
I am grateful for any reply...

Hi Jochen,
thanks for the clarification on the pros and cons of the two Torque control approaches...very enlightening......
To clarify my previous question: I am using the S200VTS-Servo Drive from Danaher Motion. The drive is able to run in Torque-mode, Velocity-mode and Position-mode. In the latter case it needs a "step and direction" input, instead of an analog input. My idea was to setup the S200-drive in Position-mode because in the "Torque Control using monitoring Force"-example the inner PID loop is for the position...so I thought, why shall I setup the S200-drive in torque mode, when actually the PID-loop tries to control the Position.....you know what I mean? It appeared to me, that with setting up the drive in torque mode and running the example code with the positional PID-loop I am mixing force and position....
Kind regards and thanks a lot for your efforts.
Well, let's take it like that: The second approach is ok, if the dynamics of the torque are very low. The worst case scenario for this approach is a solid actuator pressing against a solid workpiece. When these two pieces meet, a force occurrs almost instantaneously. That means, that very short move distances result in high force differences. With your current approach this means that it's very hard to control the force, as in fact the only way to generate force is to move the axis a bit. If you control the force directly instead (analog feedback), you will get a much better control behavior.
To clarify the idea behind that:
Just think of two metal plates lying on each other on the floor. Now you step on the upper metal plate. Does the upper metal plate move? No. Is there a change of the force applied to the lower plate? Yes.
To summarize: 'Torque Control using monitoring force' works best in systems with very low dynamics and a soft contact between actuator and workpiece. still all the limitations that I have mentioned in my first post are true, so I strongly recommend to use analog force feedback.
Your last statement about running the motor in position or torque mode is not clear to me. Are you referring to operation modes of your drive (by the way, which drive are you using?). In this case the clear recommendation is to configure your drive always in torque mode, regardless of the type of control provided by the 73xx device that you are using. From a drive's point of view 'torque mode' means, that the analog input voltage (command input) is converted into a proportional current signal and that's in both modes the best option.

Almost no product cost exactly the same everywhere.

Why is the new OS 6 does not have youtube feature on it?

I recently updated my ipad with the new OS. Why does Apple take away the youtube feature. It is such a disappointment. My son plays the ipad for 2 years and he is upset when this feature is no longer available on his ipad.

Try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google), or try accessing it via Safari : http://m.youtube.com

MacBook Pro retina 13" (late 2013, Haswell) why is the highest resolution rendered in 3360x2100, which the system obviously can't handle?!

Hey Apple and Apple users,
I just recently switched from an MacBook Air (mid 2013) to the new Haswell MacBook Pro retina 13" (late 2013 model).
The main reason to do so was the better screen and the option to run higher scaled resolutions, as advertised.
I was willing to trade in the Air's low weight, smaller formfactor and the extra batterylife for the better screen.
When it comes to resolutions:
1280x800 is just a joke nowadays, why is the MacBook Pro still based on it? 13" and 1440x900 work quite fine...see MacBook Air.
1440x900 is okay in everyday life situations, but sometimes you just need "more space" as the third scaling option calls it as well in the display-settings.
1680x1050 on 13" can sometimes be challenging, but it is really fine if you need to work and have a lot UI elements to deal with (Photoshop etc.)
So 1680x1050 scaled on the 2560x1600 screen would be my daily driver for work. So I expected a scaling factor of "1.5238..." (2560/1680) will be used most of the time.
Frankly spoken...I am really disappointed by the 13" retina MacBook Pro and the way OS X Mavericks is handling the scaling.
It obiously works well and responsive with the 1280x800 non-scaling resolution ("best for retina, scaling factor 2: 1280 --> 2560).
Is still "okay-snappy" at 1440x900 (scaling factor 1.777...: 1440 --> 2560).
But it totally breaks down at 1680x1050 (scaling factor 1.523...: 1680 --> 2560).
I use "Mission Control" all the time and it is stuttering and slow...overall a sluggish and unbearable experience.
The same goes for Desktop-Switching by swiping the screens or resizing and moving windows and files around.
So I was wondering why...and then I noticed that when taking a screenshot of my entire screen (CMD + 3) the image size of the screenshot was 3360x2100 and not the expected 2560x1600.
This means Mavericks is not scaling the UI with the appropriate factor (see above). For retina MacBooks it ist simply rendering one pixel of the classic, non-retina Interface in now 4 pixels (2x2) and sending this straight to the screen, which then "scales" it down to the resolution it is able to display.
Why is this bothering me? – Because the machine has to do a lot more work to render the higher resolution that can't even be displayed, due to the screens limitations.
2560x1600 = 4096000 pixels = 100%
3360x2100 = 7056000 pixels = 172%
This means the MacBook has to render 72% more information than actually can be displayed on the built-in screen and are just lost.
Of course this makes the overall UI feel sluggish and idly! Especially with the not that performant Intel Iris IGP and no dedicated graphics card.
All this extra "rendering" just results in a worse battery life due to the extra work that the graphics card and CPU have to do.
First, Apple...are you serious about this?
What can we do about this?
Is there a way to have this properly scaled?
Thanks in advance to everyone.

Okay...I thought deeply about this issue.
Even looking into ways to maybe fixing this on the software side. But it occured to me that this is to deeply embedded into the system that it won't be possbile to come up with a sufficient third-party solution.taht
The problem is that there is no intermediate step inbetween "standard DPI" graphics and "HiDPI" (image-resources named "[email protected]").
But there should be one, to minimize the amount of image information that needs to be processed by the device.
This effects especially the MacBook Pro retina 13", as it has the less powerful Intel Iris IGP, when performing on the highest scaled resolution (equivalent to 1650x1080).
As well as the MacBook Pro retina 15" without a dedicated, second Graphics Unit,when performing on the highest possible scaled resolution (equivalent to 1920x1200).
Those devices don't have enough resources to handle the consequential "HiDPI" resolutions of 3360x2100 for the 13" and 3840x2400 for the 15" model.
(Comment: 3840x2400 = 9,2MP, which is more than the standard 4K resolution of 3840x2160.
I analyzed the scaling factors as follows:
Factor "2" to display 1280x800 on the 13" model and 1440x900 on the 15" model in HiDPI.
Factor "1.777..." would be required to display 1440x900 on the 2560x1600 screen of the 13" model.
Factor "1.714..." would be required to display 1650x1080 on the 2880x1800 screen of the 15" model.
Factor "1.523..." would be required to display 1650x1080 on the 2560x1600 screen of the 13" model.
Factor "1.5" would be required to display 1920x1200 on the 2800x1800 screen of the 15" model.
As all the models seem to have no problem with rendering the intermediate scaling step (1440x900 for the 13" and 1680x1050 for the 15" model) at HiDPI, hence with the scaling factor 2. There is no real need to provide the UI-elements.
But in my opinion there is a strong need for a "MidDPI" ([email protected]) intermediate step for all the UI graphic elements that wis based on the scaling factor 1.5.
This would result in the following:
13" MacBook Pro retina with 2560x1600 screen:
1280x 800 @ 2x = 2560x1600 (no surplus, native screen resolution)
1440x 900 @ 2x = 2880x1800 (the surplus of 1088000px = ~1MP can still be handled and compansated by the weak Iris IGP)
1680x1050 @ 2x = 3360x2100 (the surplus of 2960000px = ~3MP is too much for the weak Iris IGP)
NEW 1680x1050 @ 1.5x = 2520x1575 (with a small border of left=20px, bottom=13, right=20, top=12 pixels, which means ~2,2mm and ~1.3mm around the 1.5x scaled image!).
15" MacBook Pro retina with 2880x1800 screen:
1440x900 @ 2x = 2880x1800 (no surplus, native screen resolution)
1680x1050 @ 2x = 3360x2100 (the surplus of 1872000px = ~2MP can still be handled by the Iris Pro IGP)
1920x1200 @ 2x = 3840x2400 (the surplus of 4032000px = ~4MP can't be handled sufficiently by the Iris Pro IGP)
NEW 1920x1200 @ 1.5x = 2800x1800 (nu surplus, native screen resolution, no border needed!)
The big advantage is that all the graphics have already been remodeled for the HiDPI mode.
So scaling those "factor 2x" images down to "factor 1.5x" should be comparably easy!
Example:
Left: Traditional "standard DPI" icon of "all my files".
Right: "@2x.png" for the "HiDPI" modes.
Middle: "@1.5x.png" suggestions for the "MidDPI" mode; easily scaled down from the lovely HiDPI graphics.
With this simple introduction of the "MidDPI" modes a significant amount of processing power can be saved.
This not only improves battery life when driving those higher scaled resolutions, but also lets the user access those resources for what really matters: processing power for the primary job that the Mac needs to get done.
Thanks in advance.

"Why Does The Shuffle Songs Feature Perform So Poorly?"

How'dee,
I have an iPod 160G Classic, I've spent the last 3 months taking my 2,247 "Owned" cd's (I'm a retired dj), an ripped them with identical settings and transfered them flawlessly onto my iPod. I now have a total of 26,311 tracks on my iPod. "FWI"- I tranfered each "Complete" album, no individual tracks... I had been looking forward to being able to Shuffle through my music and not actually listening to individual ablums at a time. I work as a security guard and I am able/allowed to use my iPod via my Bose dock.
I have been listening to my iPod in Shuffle Mode for 3 full weeks now and I am finding that I'm continually listening to the same 30 or so albums out of the full 2,247 that are on my iPod, sometimes it will actually play a song from a perticular album and then play Another track from that same album within the next 10 - 15 tracks!
In the end I'm hearing One New Track that I haven't heard yet every 15 - 20 or so tracks while at the same time I'm hearing tracks from the same albums and or groups throughout the 15 - 20 tracks that have played... As an example, I have 4 albums from the group KISS, I hear tracks from those 4 albums atleast 3 - 5 times every day - day & half... Why does the Shuffle Mode work so poorly? I can't see for the life of me why the so-called "Shuffle Mode" doesn't Shuffle through "ALL" of the 2,247 tracks that are on the iPod.
I've even gone as far as to use a cable to plug my iPod into a regular radio allowing me "Not" to charge my iPod until the battery is almost dead, allowing it to play continuously for my entire 8 hour shift in Shuffle Mode. And then just resume the next shift for another 8 hours, again, until the battery is almost dead. I've gotten around 35+ hours per charge over the last 2 weeks.
"My whole reason for spending $350. on this iPod was so that I could listen to my album collection as though I were listening to a radio... shuffling through "All" of my tracks. I'm now sitting here kicking myself in the a$$ for seemingly wasting my money..."
Any insight would be appreciated.
And just to let it be known, I have attempted to play tracks manually just to see if they are even workable transfers and I haven't come across any problems with the music that I put on the iPod.
The ToxicOne...

It is true - "random" does not mean that you should not hear two songs from the same album (or artist) in close proximity. However, as the number of albums increases, the likelihood of hearing multiple (sometimes three or four) cuts from the same album decreases. And the chances of this happening EVERY time a new shuffle is started is even less likely. Comparing flipping a coin (a 0.5 probability of any given result) to a library with over 2000 albums (a .0005 probability of a track from any given album) is comparing apples to oranges. Also, given one of the posts above which indicated hearing the same *progression of songs* indicates that the mathematical algorithm used by Apple to simulate randomness (as there is no such thing as true randomness in computer programming) is just not up to snuff.

Why is the brush tool in Illustrator CC inferior to the brush tool in CS6? It has less control of fidelity and smoothness. It is terrible - and I'm an illustrator. Can I use the CS6 brush engin in CC?

I loved the brush tool in CS6 Illustrator- by turning fidelity to the lowest setting, and smoothness down to zero, pumping up pressure sensitivity, it accurately reproduced the fine shapes of a drawn stroke. I'm an illustrator, so I don't want artificially smoothed curves, I want the line I drew.
This works really well with my Wacom Cintiq tablet... but now CC has removed this level of customisation for the brush tool. WHY? The program is called Illustrator, and as an illustrator, I can tell you having an accurate and finely adjustable brush engine to illustrate with is very important to me and to lots of other people who can draw, and draw for a living.
Now you get this dumbed down control panel when you double click on the brush tool icon- just one slider, with only 4 steps from 'accurate' (not very) to 'smooth' (almost indistiguishable from 'accurate')... it is like I have contracted a nerve disease - I draw a line, and it forms into something quite different to the path my pen took. WHY? Can I get rid of this rubbish engine? Trying the blob brush - what is the point of this brush? It is just like the old brush, except for a cursor that shows the largest size for pressure sensitivity... and it has the same crude 4 step smooth/accurate adjuster, that doesn't change the line much at all. I have the latest driver in my Cintiq, so I don't think that is the issue, and CS6 works better than CC.
I am very disappointed, Adobe. Do I have to go back to CS6 for all my Illustration work? Please improve the CC brush tool controls.
I am still reeling from Adobe's quiet removal of a whole tool: Inverse Kinematics/Bone tool from Flash CC JUST when I was finally using it to animate, but that's another story.
Honestly, having use them for a while, Photoshop,
Illlustrator, InDesign and Flash CC are, as far as I can tell, no step up at all from CS6, except that you have to pay for them forever.

More on this, now becoming known as the CC pencil tool fiasco, on these fora:
Re: PLEASE PLEASE adobe. The new pencil tool has become unusuble to me
Re: Changing line fidelity with CS6 Brush Tool
Re: All pressure sensitive brush presets gone!
If you are affected by the lower accuracy controls for CC's brush or pencil tools, use this Bug report/Feature request form to let the folks at Adobe know- they are actually hopefully going to fix this.......
thanks to Daniel for setting this up:
hey all, if you are going to file a bug report (as per Neeraj's suggestion), i've made up a draft to make the process easier. feel free to adjust it as much as you want, obviously; trying to equip us busy folk.
Obviously customer service & product development are two different departments, so if you're bummin out on the new functionality, submit a bug report!

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
I was told to by Neeraj N(staff) to report this issue based on this link : (http://forums.adobe.com/message/6065706).
The Pencil / Brush tools have lost essential functionality with the addition of the new accurate / smooth adjustment preset. Users are no longer able to specify high-accuracy pen mapping, as the finest accuracy setting is now set to 2.5px (legacy versions allowed accuracy to .5px).
I would think adding additional slider nodes to allow more accurate mapping (while still using the accurate / smooth preset) allow for a minimal change in programming with a maximum return for power users.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. open illustrator
2. use either pencil or brush tool.
3. draw erratic and high detail shapes
Results: shapes are smoothed to 2.5px smoothness, even when the accurate / smooth adjustment preset is set to full accuracy.
Expected results: shapes have minimal / no smoothing to maintain the integrity of the artwork.
Thank you for your consideration.

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
Regards.

Why is the PDF tab missing?

Hello!
I have created some PDF files and tagged them using the Document Properties dialog box of Acrobat X Pro (File> Properties). But when I view the properties of the file in Windows, I don't see these tags in the Details tab. Searching for help on the Adobe website I found a reference to a PDF tab. This tab is supposed to appear in the native file properties dialog of Windows. But I don't see this tab when I view the file properties of a PDF file. Why?
The only reason to tag a document, from my perspective, is to make it searchable. I want to be able to easily search and find my PDF files with given tags. But how do you do a system wide file search if the PDF tag information is not read or supported by Windows, and it's not added by the Adobe software? For the record, I am using Windows Vista.
You can also enter and read the data properties information from the desktop. Right-click the document in Windows Explorer, choose Properties, and click the PDF tab. Any information you type or edit in this dialog box also appears in the Document Properties Description when you open the file.
If I manage to get this feature enabled, will I be able to do a search for *.pdf in Windows Explorer and maybe select the tag invoice so that I will get all the PDF files that are tagged as invoice? Or will I need a dedicated document management system for this?

I give up!
I found this old thread. But it's just all too overwhelming for my taste. I have read it, but I don't know how relevant the information is anyway. I mean, come on, the thread is from 2009! How relevant is all of this in 2013 and now that Adobe has released Acrobat X Pro, and now even Acrobat XI Pro? And the Acrobat Reader is no longer Acrobat Reader, the name has changed to Adobe Reader.
Copy this and that, edit this and that registry key or string, take the DLL from the old version of the software and copy it to the directory of the new software... it's all redundant and silly! What are we... hacking now?
A simple feature like this should work out of the box! Period! I have given up on this completely. It is absolutely not worth my time. I have no intention to start messing around with DLL files, Windows registry keys, COM class objects, and what not. I'm not here to develop a new breed of the Adobe Acrobat product. I am only interested in using it to perform my daily tasks. If there are no simple ways to resolve the issue, well so be it. It should not be harder than giving simple help instructions, like giving some pointers such as "make sure you reinstall the software".
And for the record, yes, I have reinstalled Adobe Reader by downloading the latest version from Adobe website. After reboot I also ran the Updater for Adobe Acrobat X Pro, it found a new version, downloaded and installed it. All that to no avail. The problem still remains. I did not reinstall Adobe Acrobat X Pro because I don't want to. I have no intention to screw up a perfectly working system, program setup and configuration, just to get a simple function like this to work properly.
I don't know if this feature ever worked for me, or if it stoped working recently. Because I only started using this feature recently. But I'm pretty confident to say that it never worked. I look at my file properties every now and then, and I think I would have noticed a "PDF" tab appearing out of nowhere. I can tell something's different with a dialog window when there is a change like that. And I know I had the "PDF" tab back in Windows XP, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with it. I know what it is, but it's just isn't there anymore.
Also, in my experience, there is alwys some kind of conflict that arises between Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro. The moment you install them both, some PDF related features you previously had are lost. The most famous one is perhaps the preview handler in Outlook. It always seemed as if the Acrobat Reader was always better integrated into a Windows system than the Acrobat Pro version. The Acrobat Pro was and is still more productivity oriented, while the Acrobat Reader always made sure you had those previews in Outlook, and it also integrated well with Explorer or Windows Shell. Acrobat Pro always managed to somehow screw up that integration, and I mean it's beyond file type association. So it's best to not have them both (but things like preview is only available in the Reader version).
Adobe needs to make better software and then everything will be much easier. It seems to me that this "feature" has been deprecated by Adobe. So even though you might have the correct registry keys and DLL files onboard, they are not being used anyway.

Why is the E65 such a disappointment?
