View 6 RepliesI am currently having problems resizing pdf files when viewing them in acrobat reader 8.0. Basically, the window will resize, but the content that I have opened will not. I am using windows vista ultimate x64.I have installed the reader normally, and I have also tried installing it under xp service pack 2 compatibility as an administrator. Additionally, I have tried running the reader in normal compatibility mode and xp sp2 compatibility as an administrator. I have also tried the foxit reader 2.0, which resizes the content, but seems to require a lot of cpu to do so and doesn't display the content as clearly as adobe's reader.Any workarounds, or other pdf reader recommendations?

I was told that this software would work on Vista in compatibility mode before I bought it for my kids.
I have a new Dell. When I tried to download some files, Adobe tried to install but would not work. I then tried to download Adobe 8.0 thru the web- it runs thru most of the download and then I get "fatal error".I have Vista.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two other problems trying to install iTuens and Adobe reader 9.1 updates. I think is a registry problem. I run win vista 64bit. this is the error message I get when attempting to install the new Zune update:
No installation Media. cant find the media for installation package 'Zune'. It might be incomplete or corrupt. Error code: 0x80070002
When I go to the link at the bottom of the error message it takes me to a knowledge base. At this knowledge base it gives me the chance to troubleshoot and download the exe file. None of it works.
I have uninstalled everything related to Adobe CS4 but still, there are two folders that cannot be deleted. One from C:ProgramDataAdobe (where ProgramData is hidden) and on C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobe. The problem is, at startup, when I right-click on any file, folder or the like, Windows Installer keeps on opening to install Adobe Acrobat 9. I still have the Adobe Drive CS4 on the context menu even it is already uninstalled together with Adobe AIR. I tried everything I saw on this forum. But still, NONE worked. It (the files) won't allow me to change the permission settings given that I am the ONLY user.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Trying to install Adobe reader on my Vista Home Premium (SP-2) system, I encountered numerous "privilege" problems. UAC is disabled, I R-Clicked on the installer and selected "Run as Administrator". The installation was interrupted numerous times, saying the installer lacked privileges to write to various different folders, mostly under the Program Data folder, and also in the Start Menu folder. On each occasion, I had to open Explorer, R-Click on the folder in question, and "Take Ownership" of it. I am the sole user of this system, so if I don't own the folders, who the hell does? My account is an administrator account.
This turned what should have been an uneventful 15 minute long procedure into an hour long hassle. Is there ANY way to get rid of this ownership nonsense so I don't have to go through this every time I install something? I thought disabling UAC was supposed to solve this problem. Unlike many, I'm not a real Vista basher, but this privilege/ownership business just has to go if you ask me.
Has anybody found any problem with this package in Windows Vista?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using MS Windows since it's initial release years ago. Hard as it
may be to believe, there was a time when anything that ran on an earlier
version of Windows was guaranteed to run on the latest version. It's gotten
progressively worse over the years and now we have Vista, where anything
that ran on an earlier version is virtually guaranteed to go haywire.
If there's been some sort of improvement here, I fail to see it.
I want to improve its performance but i have a very limited budget. i'm choosing from a Video card or RAM. Which should i choose.
I'm running it with Vista Ultimate x86 and a lot of games.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a new, loaded, Dell XPS laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate. As a systems developer and consultant, I frequently set my laptop up on a customer's network, expecting to browse those networks, and map network shares. With Windows Vista, I appears this utility has been taken away.
I recently downloaded and installed Vista SP-1, and the problem (deficiency)
persists. The only solutions I have found reccomend I should install LLTD on every XP machine with which I wish to establish network connections. This is impracticable because the general maintenance of those machines is not within
the scope of my work (nor always my control).................
I want to run Vista x64, but heard about some compatibility issues with some programs and actually need it for the 8GB of memory. I know Vista x32 will only read 3 GB Memory. What I want to know is there that many programs that will not run on x64? Should I stay with x32? I only have a few older programs like Lock-on Modern Combat and Flight sim X and want to run COD 4 and WaW. Will I be ok with this set-up?

Anyone got the time to explain what the heck Vista "compatibility files" are all about? In my case I installed a older piece of software (maybe a couple of years old) on my laptop runnibg Vista Basic Home, the program installed and runs ok, but when I went take a look in the program's folder , there were files that should have been that are not listed, then I noticed listed on the menu where Organize, Views, Burn options are located another option called Compatibility Files, so being the seek and ye shall find kind of guy I clicked on the "compatibility files" folder and there were the missing files.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am not sure if the issue of 'Vista compatibility' & KVM switches is a relevant one. (One KVM vendor I contacted claimed KVM's functioned independently regardless of the operating system). I would like some reassurance because:
1. I will soon be installing Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a new PC
2. I run two W2K PCs thru an old Belkin, PS/2, KVM switch ("OmniCube 4-Port") that has never been a problem but I'd like to replace it if it might become an issue with Vista.
3. The Microsoft Vista-ready hardware listing does not appear to include KVM switches
4. Belkin Tech Support has failed to reassure - their responses to my inquiries has been mixed & less than a clear 'yes' or 'no' (a Belkin tech agt.has indicated their USB models have Vista issues)
5. I did discover that zonenetusa.com posted a Vista-ready list for their components & they claim their model KVM3304 - a PS/2, 4-port KVM - is 'Vista-ready' - (That is reassuring but do I need it?)
can any Vista hardware guru advise if PS/2, KVM switches represent any relevant Vista 64-bit compatibility issues? If so, can you suggest what options I have to prepare for a relatively painless installation that will continue to maintain my KVM setup?
i'm trying to play multiplayer on this game through a home network. when i create a game i cant find it when i search through another vista running computer it doesn't appear. when i run 2 XP running computers (which are no longer with us), it works fine through those (using a wi-fi connection) and through vista i have tried Wi-fi and ethernet connection, but still no luck. i have minimized the game to unblock the windows firewall for the network accessing, but still no luck. i tried running the game in compatibility mode in both 98/ME and XP and still, again, no luck. i should probably add that a few months ago i tried running it through 1 XP PC and 1 Vista PC and it didn't work on there either.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Vista Home Premiun SP1. After every startup, the Program Compatibility Assistant of Vista makes a window appear on the lower right corner (inside the system tray, near the time and volume icons) saying that the drivers of a certain program is not compatible with Vista. Actually, this certain program is running very nicely on my machine. So to prevent this annoying pop-up window from appearing, I just want to turn off or disable Vista's built-in Program Compatibility Assistant.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've used Vista (home basic) for a while now and there wasn't any serious compatibility issues with the motherboard. I reinstalled it a couple of weeks back, and ever since then, there's been an issue with shutting down the computer. Usually, if I select SHUT DOWN from the start menu, the computer doesn't shut down completely, but enters a sleepish/suspended mode.The red (busy/status) light doesn't flicker, but the fan and the green (power) light remains on. Also, I have a WD My Book (500Gb) connected, and usually it shuts itself down once the computer powers down. Now though, when the computer enters this "sleepyish" mode, the power light on the My Book switches from on to off every few seconds.
Oh and also, even before reinstalling Vista, I've never been able to WAKE the computer after putting it to sleep. It just becomes unresponsive to anything (mouse, keyboard - I've tried a lot of buttons) and I have to press the power button on the computer. The motherboard is P4R800-VM, manufactured by Asus. I'm using a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio sound card, and a nVidia GeForce 6200 A-LE graphics card. I don't think they've got any conflicting issues.
I'm considering upgrading my processor to 64 bit when Windows 7 comes out and would like to know if my current 32 bit version of Office 2007 can be upgraded without cost to 64bit. Cost is a big factor in my considering an upgrade.
