Windows 7 Crashes.. Boots and wants Adobe Update.

The last few [auto] updates from Adobe has caused a system lockup and sometimes blue-screens. I have updates disabled now, tiering down options from full-auto to "don't do anything".
I run Windows 7 64 Bit on an AMD quad-core, 8 gigs of memory, and 4x500GB striped array (300GB for system partition).
The sequence of events has been as follows:
1> System freezes then (maybe) blue-screens
2> Reboot system
3> Once I logon Adobe would popup an update notification
My activities vary, but most often I am just watching video with VLC player.
Currently I do not have any auto-update selected, however, after updating Adobe Flash Player my system is not freezing [seemingly] randomly again. The problem this time did not begin until Adobe's most recent update was posted; or as it would seem after going back through the past few weeks troubleshooting this "jack-in-the-box" problem.
It has been very consistent that over the past year system lockups have all pointed back to Adobe Flash needing an update, even if the updater is disabled. I would love to remove Flash at this point but unfortunately Seagate has put faith in it and is required to access my NAS. I removed Adobe from my other system that was having the same issue and it has not frozen since (very disturbing when 2 desktop systems freeze almost simultaneously / problem begins on the same date when nothing has been changed on he system -- my other system is a video surveillance server and is on 24/7).
I have waited to post this for months until I was certain Flash needing an update was in fact the issue (basically it is to the point of ridiculously not fixed), so here I am. This lockup issue comes, Adobe is updated, and issue goes away. Even more frustring that this happens while I am programming so losing work is never fun, especially due to something as mundane as an application update.
It strikes me as odd that the Installer/uninstaller (FlashUtil...) is running.... Why is the installer/uninstaller running if the updates have been disabled? (sigh)
So what's really going on here?

Can you post the details about the blue screens you are getting?
Also, what is your display adapter, device driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
Regarding the auto-updates, can you post the contents of your mms.cfg file in C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\Macromed\Flash

I'm assuming you followed a forum like Gizmodo to load the latest version of iOS 7 Beta on your device
Alot of those forums forget to mention, iTunes 11.0.5 will allow you to update to the iOS 7 Beta but your device will no longer work unless you have the developer version of iTunes as well....
I'd suggest you to research how to downgrade back to 6.1.3/4 and wait a few days for the iOS to be released,

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Lion 10.7.5 is as far as you can go. You must have at least 2 GBs of installed RAM.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. Or you can order directly on the online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

If you're NOT running Aperture 3.6 and want to update to 10.10.3 - read this FIRST.

If you’re NOT running Aperture 3.6 and want to update to 10.10.3 - read this FIRST.
In this personal scenario, I used a Mavericks (10.9) test hard drive to see what would happen if I updated to 10.10.3. No photos were harmed in the making of this post. I have full redundant back-ups of everything as should you before attempting ANY OS update. There simply is no excuse not to back up and keep your personal data protected in this day and age.
Now that’s out of the way…
If you’re not running Aperture 3.6 (which I believe is only available if running 10.10.2), updating to 10.10.3 will disable any version of Aperture below that and it CANNOT be updated or found on the App Store, or downloaded from anywhere else. Both the Aperture and iPhotos icons in the dock will have a white circle with a line going through it.
If you click to open Aperture, the computer will prompt you to update to the latest version because the current version is not compatible with Yosemite. After you acknowledge that, it sends you the the App Store where you will be met with a message that states “Item not available”. It also no longer appears in your purchase history so you can’t update it from there either!
You’re now forced to use the new Photos app.
Upon it’s it’s first launch, the Photos app will create a new library for itself and migrate/duplicate all Aperture photos into it. Effectively doubling the disc space used by your pictures...
This behavior apparently does not happen going from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3. In this latter scenario, Photos still uses the Aperture library and creates a smaller Photos library migrating only the metadata it seems. The actual photos are still referenced from the Aperture library and you can continue to use Aperture (3.6) if you choose. The libraries are NOT unified though. Changes made in one will NOT be reflected in the other.
In other words, you cannot leap-frog update if you want to continue using Aperture.
The 10.10.2 Combo Update “may” solve this problem but I have not tested it. Here is a link if you’re feeling brave. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1786?locale=en_US
Here are some screen-shots.

I had been trying to download 7.0.1 with Firefox 3.6. Just would NOT download. Well, I opened another browser, Safari, went to the download page, and the download worked. Who knew?
All is well now.
Thanks for the reply.

hi alan i run a business on ebay selling photos and negs. i recently installed yosemite and it locked my entire library on iphoto. when i try to download the app to free it from ishop it tells me there is a fault with the app and my iphoto is frozen. i am basically out of work and finding it very hard to find someone who can help me unlock it.. look at the things being said about this yosemite locking this.....freezing that... be very careful if you need your business for your livelyhood. the actual performance is really good.....better display ...much faster and well presented but is it worth having parts of your compy put out of action i possibly think not. i am new to this community so hopefully someone reading this may be able to advise us both.....paul

Cloud accounts are multi-platform.
You have a maximum of two activations but can use them on Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac. The choice is yours.

There is no version 10.7.8 so we need to know what you are running.
10.8.5 costs money.
10.9.2 is free. Find out more at the App Store application.
