Reader Adobe XI changes all file associations in Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Yesterday, my desktop computer changes all files on the computer of Adobe associations. Of course, this made my computer useless. After consultation with Microsoft technical support. We have uninstalled (thank goodnes I had another user profile) Adobe and all returned to normal. Technical support is a malware and virus scan and found nothing.
This morning I went to install Adobe again and it's the same thing. I can't run Adobe on my machine. It worked fine until yesterday.
What should do? I need Adobe like everything else does.
You talk about this problem?

I accidentally changed a *.vi labview library file. How can I fix my system?
Dear Sir:
I work with Labview version 8.5. works on Windows Vista o/s.
I accidentally changed a *.vi Labview library file and now some programs which in the past has executed correctly, no more to run correctly.
I have modified the library is named lvsound.llb and the file I changed, "SO Write.vi".
I made two changes, however, the first amendment has been removed.
That's what happened. I modified the file SO Write.vi by chance, somehow, a link has been broken.
I thought I could repair the file copy of a file to write identical SO that I had stored on another computer. What I've done I copied the work SO Write.vi content block diagram (which was stored on a disk that is external and not stored in the 'sound' of Labview installation folder) and then I opened the SO Write.vi in the lvsound.llb (this is the *.llb of Labview installed) and deleted everything in the block and then diagram I replaced the block diagram with the copied block diagram. I thought that that would solve my problems because the copied program did not have a cut connection - no broken arrow icon). However, I soon discovered that programs that completed successfully before the accident, still not function properly after swapping content block diagram.
I have attached a picture of the error message.
Can someone tell me please the safest way to fix my system?
Don't exchange the content of block diagram, or if you do so, as it was put in place the same connector pane. When you have removed all the controls and indicators, the connector pane has been authorized which explains why things that call this Subvi will not see that it has no control. To fix it, you need match this component of the connector:
To set up, click an empty area of the connector pane, and then click the command corresponding or indicator. For example, down to the left of your new connector pane, click on the bottom left box, and then click 'error (no errors)' control for screws outside pass an error via the connector pane. To see where everything is connected, I would recommend that you go to a computer with a working version and one by one, click on the terminal part of the connector and the corresponding command will highlight:
for example, clicking on the top left corner will highlight control "ID of the task in.
Another option you have is to simply copy the .vi itself (file, block diagram not only) of library work, delete or rename the current "SO Write.vi" and simply drag the file .vi from the Explorer on the LLB Manager.

I bought Photoshop Elements for my mother while hospitality during Thanksgiving. When I installed it on his computer, it changed all the files on his computer for photoshop elements files, or rather, it combined all the files in photoshop elements. I don't know that it is an operating system problem. Can someone tell me why this is happening and give me a cure? It uses Windows 7. It is a 64-bit computer, if it's important.
Thanks for any advice.
