I have all the adobe = pdf addon's turned on, Has no effect. How do I fix this ? I'm guessing I've been submarined by a new windows = update. This is not an OLD problem.

I recently installed Vista Home premium on my 1 yr old computer that wassuppossed to be "Vista Ready" the upgrade came as part of the packagejust not got around to installing it until now, I have adobe acrobat pro6.0 plus pro 7 upgrade I also have downloaded Reader V8.1.2 with all ofthem I get the error message the program is not working and windows willlook for a solution and notify me etc etc, I have gone to adobe's
website to try and find a solution to no avail or at least nothing Ihaven't already tried I have quite a few other annoying little problemswith it but will deal with them one at a time.
I ask because when I go into Programs and Features, neither of these are there. I do have an Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and an Adobe AIR (whatever that is). I also now have an Adobe Download Manager which came when I downloaded the subject two programs. NOTE: The Flash Player shows as a plugin on Firefox
ALSO: The site told me to uninstall the older versions of these two programs prior to installing the new, but I don't have an older version of either. This came about because I was having a problem with a game that worked until after I installed the latest NVIDIA driver. The game manufacturer told me to install both of these as a measure to correct the issue. It didn't correct it BTW. Other games still work fine.
Has anybody found any problem with this package in Windows Vista?
View 9 Replies View Relatedmy pc started to shutdown by itself about two days ago.. it's a self-built with Intel Core2Quad Q6600, 4 GB Kingston 800 MHz RAM, nVIDIA 8500 GT, 320 GB WD SATA HDD, and ASUS P5K MB
i don't know the reason, but the night before it happened i detached the fan to clean it then re-attached it again "appropiately" and turned the pc on and it worked, and i did a deep system scan using trail version of BitDefender Total Security 2009 "which ends tomorrow btw" and i slept, and when i woke up the next day it was done and i read the report and all was good!
i turned it off, and by noon when i started it again, the problem appeared, and it started shuttingdown by itself since then..

My windows xp that I have had for about 2 years suddenly started to shut down and restart on its own. Out of the blue, over and over. Boots up shuts down, Boots up shuts down. I use it for my business payroll and bill paying. When I do get it to stay on for a couple minutes I have to restart my active desk top. I have tried defrag and cleaning it up. Checked all my plugs and tried everything I can think of.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy computer has started shutting off randomly within 5 mins of startup. By shutting off, I mean it just turns off...no BSOD, no errors, just turns off...at random intervals that are usually within five mins. I updated my display drivers a few days ago, and they're currently at the highest version, but it's been a few days, and this just started this morning. It seems to be fine in safe mode (which I'm in now to post this)...which leads me to think it is, in fact, display drivers...but they're up to date, I have no solution there...now what?

My computer just powers off wothout warning sometimes then won't turn on again for several minutes. The computer hasn't been overheating or even under heavy load when it happens. Which piece of hardware is the cause of my trouble so that I can replace it? The motherboard is an ABIT IS7, the PSU is a Coolmax 450W, and the CPU is a 2.8GHz P4 Northwood. Or is the problem with something else?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running Vista Home Premium on an HP dv9000 laptop. A couple of weeks ago, my laptop decided to shut down on its own. No error message, no blue screen... it just shut down. It does not restart. It will not start again for two or three minutes after it first shuts itself down. At first, I thought it was a problem with a game (The Sims 2), and maybe my graphics card (an nVidia GeForce 8800, IIRC). Then, it started doing it at other times, sometimes when I was just surfing the internet. I can give more information about my system upon request.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe recently brought a laptop with Vista Home and have had on going issues with it not shutting down. Everytime we hit shut down it goes to the logging off screen but never actually makes it. We have left it running over night and come down the next morning and its still "logging off"! We have tried the Ctrl Alt Del combination to see whats causing the issues but the task manager doesnt load up. This has been an ongoing issue for about 3 weeks and have probably only had the laptop for a month.
Forceably switching it off, which we have to, causes the safety mode prompt to come on at the next start up. If we do not run the safety mode we arent able to use the internet as it doesnt connect. So, running it in safety mode is the only way to get things back to normal. I should add that when I start up in safety mode it goes to a black screen eventually with "safety mode" written in each corner. Ive no idea how to move away from this so just hit the main off button but we can get back on the net when it reboots.
Having read a few issues with shutting down it doesnt appear that anyone has the ongoing issue we do and as mentioned Ctrl Alt Del does nothing. On the rare occasion we have got it to shut down properly it reverts the next time. We run McAfee anti virus and as a fairly new laptop there isnt much that we have downloaded since purchase. I also have a desktop and never experienced this ongoing issue!
Iīm looking for some opinions about this issue Iīm getting. Recently I got as a present a vista ultimate desktop which previously hadnīt given any troubles to itīs owner. So I brought the pc home and started using it without a problem, but after one day the computer starts shutting down on me. No error screens, nothing, it just shuts down. It doesnt restart or anything, all of the sudden it goes blank. I can turn it on again, it boots and I can use it for a while and again it shuts down. I have left it on all night and it didnt turn off, but it seems to happen when I am using it. Thereīs no pattern here, it might happen at any moment, without any logical trigger. I opened the tower to check the fans and they are both working well. I downloaded a soft called everest to monitor fan and cpu temps, and both the motherboard and processors remain usually between 50 and 60 degrees celsius and the fan remains around 2800 rpm.
I have no idea whats going on and canīt seem to find any conclusive solution on the net or asking friends. I am certain this didnīt happen before I brought the computer home, but I also did a system restore to a date previous to when I brought it to make sure it is not software related and the problem persist. The computer didnīt suffer any hit or impact on the way here. I am at loss, the pc works flawlessly and I am thrilled to use it, but as long as this problem persist I have to continue using my old crappy laptop.
i have of late, is that when i leave the computer running, normally only playing music or a film, after 30 minutes it my display goes blank: normally it doesn't (the monitor) display that there is no video input. But yet im blank, and then a minute goes buy and then my computer shuts off. I've done a virus scan with NOD32 - came black clean And a scan with Ad-Aware - again clean. I've recently reinstalled all my Operating Systems (i multi-boot: XP, Vista and 7) for better file management.

I mean, it just turns off, without any warning, It turns pitchblack and the computer turns on agian. I helpt him defregmantating his computer multiple times, but it still dosnt work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThere are two times when I have noticed it stopping for a reason. Other times I do not know why it shuts off. Once it stopped after I had a flash drive in the USB port. I did the proper procedure for "safely removing" it, but the computer still shut off when I took the drive out. Another time the computer more or less went to sleep. I was able to restart the computer without it rebooting. I wonder if there is some way to set the time for it to do this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedFrom time to time my system (Vista64) shuts down - when IDLE - for no reason. WIndows restarts and says: Windows recovered for an unexpected shutdown... error report send. How to debug? Note that the system is idle; only background processes are running.
What I've done sofar:
- Ran extended memory test: no problem
- Disabled power saving settings (as I suspected a problem going into hibernate/sleep). No effect.
- Disabled all "user based processes" as Picasa, Google indexing, CPU-temp watcher etc..
- Removed all USB sticks (no readyboost anymore)
I leave the system idle and 10minutes to 2hours later; bang; shutdown Note also that the system never chrashed when I'm actually working. So, not a severe issue but I feel intellectually challenged to get the thing under control.
I keep having this problem where using DVD Shrink or Windows Movie Maker will max out my processor between 90 and 100%.

Today, I switched on the computer and before Vista loaded, the computer shut down on its own. I tried again and this time got a screen asking if I want to run a start-up diagnostic. I chose that and the computer shut down again. I switched on again and this time Vista loaded and everything was ok. Apart from installing daily important Window Vista updates, I haven't changed anything on the system.
View 7 Replies View Related I got her a Compaq Presario V2000 (Windoz XP Professional). It has been serving her needs quite well. But now she calls and says it shuts down every 59 seconds so she hasn't time to run any of its programs like antivirus or IE to connect to web to run maybe LiveOne scan or others. She has asked me to mail her a CD that will be self-booting and contain a good antivirus (and I would say, something like Malwarebyte too) on it, that will run and clean up her computer so she can use it again.
(After that, i need to talk to her more about protective programs for the machine....) She is of the opinion that the infective agent may be "worm.win32.nightshade or something like that." Quoting her. This Could possible be a form of the netsky virus, I can't be sure. At any event, I tried to shop for a curative CD for her problemo. All the CD's I could find contained very old antivirus programs (with three years or older virus definitions ....and most do not even say they remove those viruses..they talk only about "scanning for viruses" whereas we need a scan and a REMOVAL, that is a real antivirus program that works.... with current uptodate viral defintions. And a good malware type additive. Can anyone recommend any such CD, or else any other means she may be able to restore functionality?
I know is it seems to be shutting itself down when it has just started up due to it having a virus of some sort, a trojan was mentioned. Can someone recommend what the best course of action is in this particular case? I suggested that if the OS (Vista) is accessible then reformatting the HD may be the best thing to do. But will this get rid of the virus/trojan as well? I am aware that this will involve losing all data. I'm led to believe rather than have the original discs, PC's these days come with a seperate partition which holds the OS, which is used when reformatting is required? How do I reformat the HD from here?

I was trying to fix my computer. I have an acer laptop and when i was starting it before it would say there was an error starting up. It would then go into trying to repair the problem and there is always an error with the fix so it ends and shuts down. It will start in regular mode it just wil never get to the user selection screen. I also tried safe mode. i held f8 in the bedinning to open up the options and all three safe mode options were working. When i was in safe mode a pop up told me the system needed to restart and when it did it went back to the normal veiw out of safe mode but when i shut it down to try again it didnt work in regular mode only in safe mode again. Now it wont even work in safe mode. I try to enter safe mode and the list of commands starts running down the screen. It stops and then goes into the repair function again which will not work,. I am not able to get past and i would like to know what i should do or whetherthe hard drive is dead. In safe made there were also errors with microsoft programs opening and they would not open. I scanned the computer with avg but nothing came up.
