Installed Adobe Reader 8.1: Unable To Shut Down Computer Normally?
Apr 5, 2008
I installed adobe reader 8.1. Since then I haven't been able to shut down computer the right way. When I go to start then click on turn off computer the shut down box never comes up. I end up having to push the power button to turn it off. I know this will eventually do harm is there anything I can do besides reformatting. I have all the disk to reformat, but would rather not if I can get this fixed.My hard drive crashed last year, it was an 80 gig, I replaced it with a 300 gig. Haven't had any problems until last week after I downloaded adobe.

I was trying to update Adobe Reader from 7.0.5 to 7.0.8, the newest one, when all my problems began. When I tried to install .8 I got a message that read: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can acces it." So was going to just remove Adobe 7.05 in Add/Remove and got the same message. Went to C:program files and got the same message. I can't get Adobe off my computer. I really need help. The 7.0.5 won't open anything, get the same message. I don't know where the source file would be if it isn't in C:program files.

Running Windows XP Pro SP2... I don't know what happened, but when I click on any shortcut to a program, Adobe Reader tries to open it and then tells me it's not a supported type. I wanted to do a System Restore to go back to before this started happening, but Adobe is trying to open System Restore as well! I wanted to remove Adobe altogether to try to fix this, but I can't open Add/Remove Programs in control panel, because Adobe tries to open this

It necessary to remove Acrobat Reader in order to install an update. As part of the manual removal I was to remove three files at the cmd level. They will not remove at any level.All I get is Access denied. I am doing this with administrator privileges. How do I get these three files removed? They are .dll in the ActiveX directory.

I today updates adobe reader because the system asked me to, It seemed to run okay and may have nothing to do with my subsequent problem. Afterwards I ran MSCONFIG as I often do to restrict the amount of stuff that autostarts at boot time. When I disabled adobe reader (and a couple of other old things), the system reported an error message "An access denied error was returned to change a service - you may need to logon using an administrators account to make the specified changes"

Some days before I installed Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 for Windows XP-SP2. But I didnt feel secure with the changes and decided to uninstall it. But a problem comes. When I want to close the P C, I do as always: Click Start, Close, Shut Down. But, the P C instead of closing restarts. My Windows XP-SP2 is installed on Portuguese.

I recently downloaded and installed the latest security updates for Win XP. The computer runs fine, but when
it is time to shut it down it takes an extremely long time to complete the shut down. I defragmented the hard
drive thinking that would solve the problem but it had no noticeable affect

In trying to solve an Adobe problem, I deleted most of the Adobe programs/files on my computer. I now get these error messages in Excel:On opening: Compile error in hidden module: AutoExecNewOn closing: Compile error in hidden module: DistMon
I have re-installed my Adobe programs. I have tried using the Office disks to repair. I have also gone to the MVP forum and followed the directions there, to no avail.System Restore was turned off, so that is not an option. (not sure why that was off - must have happened when my computer was at the repair person's office)

I just re-installed XP SP2 on my laptop. Everything seems to be okay except that the system does not allow me to unmute the mic. I've already installed the audio and CD drivers for the system, as well as the display drivers. The system has mic but it does not allow me to uncheck it.

I decided to use a computer at an Elementary school I work at in Japan. I switched it on and then checked my email and surfed the web. I decided to shut down the computer after I finished. The next day a teacher says do not shut down the computer because last night teachers could not use the computer. Is this just a security reason once you shut down you can't use the computer again for that day? I always thought it was simply reenter the password and reconnect to the internet again to use the computer again.

Every now and then when starting my pc (WinXP), it seems to enter a hanging mode. I know when the problem is occurring because the sound card icon doesn't show on the task bar.I don't know if all programs are non-functioning, but the internet connection and the sound card are not only when this occurs. The main problem: the pc will not shutdown. Bringing up the task manager won't work either, leaving me no choice but to shut off the pc via surge switch. What can cause this problem?

When I go to the start button and go to the turn off computer option, the computer freezes. Then when I shut down by going to windows task manager, after everything closes and goes to the screen "windows is now shutting down", it never shuts down. The computer just stays on that screen forever, and then I have to shut off the computer with the power button.

I've had a problem with my computer; in the past, almost every time I turned off the computer and rebooted, I would have to enter safe mode and then switch to regular mode, so I generally kept the computer on. After a longer than normal power outage, my computer doesn't reboot anymore. When I push the power button, it begins to boot and then shuts down. The computer in question has an amd 1,1 ghz athlon, 1 agp video card, 1 pci dual monitor video card (I run 3 monitors), a dvd drive, a cd-rw drive, a 3.5" floppy drive, a soundblaster card, 56k modem, 40 gig hd and an ethernet card for dsl.I'm running xp home edition with sp2. I tried unplugging various cards and drives, but it still will not boot.

I'm running Windows XP home sp2 on a WD Raptor hooked to a Gigabyte 7NNXP mobo inside a Lian Li tower. I have all the latest drivers, BIOS updates and Windows updates. The problem is that when turning off the computer from Windows it continues to run, (Windows shuts down but power light is on and fans are running). At this point I used to be able to turn it off by pressing the power button [Instant off set in BIOS]. Then that stopped working and I tried the four second delay after pressing power button option in BIOS and that is working but I'm afraid something is not right and continuing without isolating the problem will result in broken computer.
