I installed KB917607 on my Vista 32 bit and now all programs on my D: drive (partition, I believe, but not sure) have dissappeared, all my shortcuts does not find the address they point. Basically, it shows an empty folder where there should be at least a half dozen subfolders containing files.

  • Renewal of my membership CC, payments made, but all applications and programs have disappeared.

    Hi all

    I renewed my membership full CC on 6 January of this year.  Payment of 45UKP taken by Adobe.  All access to all CC programs disappeared.  When I connect it tells me I have one year subscription, but when I tried to download any program it tells me that I left the 0 days of my free trial and I wonder if I want to buy the product. I contacted Adobe customer support chat, they have no idea what is the problem and so just lie - telling someone will contact me by email and the problem will be solved within 24 hours.  No one ever contacted me.

    Last conversation:

    Sidibé: I will increase the cases to the relevant team and our team will contact you by email within 2-3 days and resolve the issue.

    Colin Munro: Which is really not good enough. This happened for two weeks now. Told me almost a week she was refitted and someone would contact me. I did not. I paid for the product and I need to use it now. I need someone to contact me today.

    Sidibé: Let me check.

    Colin Munro: thank you

    Sidibé: I see that your case is still in process and however I put a reminder that our team will contact you within 24 hours.

    Sidibé: Number of cases: 0217575866

    Colin Munro: Through process person never has looked at him yet?

    Sidibé: No, means process, our team works closely with the question and we will contact you back as soon as the problem is solved.

    Colin Munro: If that was the case, then the bare minimum, I would have expected is someone sent me and informed me about this. It is really really poor service. 

    Sidibé: I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Sidibé: Since our relevant is always present in the case which is why you don't have any email.

    Colin Munro: I would like a team dealing with this email me now and confirm this please

    Sidibé: However our competent team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.

    Sidibé: I assure you that our team will contact you by e-mail within 24 hours.


    Of course, nothing has been heard of Adobe, and I still have no access to the products that I am paying.  Any help much appreciated.

  • Unwanted pre-installed software and programs

    I just bought a new computer and "fired yesterday. There are many pre-installed programs/software that I don't want.

    I looked in the Control Panel, and they are not listed. I have a Revo Uninstaller, and they are not listed there either.

    How to get them out of my computer?

    I have a HP h9-1180 Phoenix uses Win 7 Home.

    I'll do my best. Many of them are just shortcuts to Web pages. You can be quite confident removing them or if you feel that you can use later to create a storage folder and keeping them there for a while.

    Windows 8 on screen starting subway if I right click on it can tell UPIN therefore, it's a shortcut. Or you can hear UNINSTALL it. So I know this is the program, so I uninstall it. But most of the time, they are just shortcuts.

    You can deepen by right clicking on the icon, arrived at propterties and it will tell you if it's a shortcut or a program. It will also tell you where this program is installed if infact it is a program.

    I hope this helps. Moreover, if Norton is out there you can download a TOOL of SUPPRESSION of NORTON on the web. Just Google for it.  Let me know if all others.  Jack

  • How to clone disk HARD of backup/restore for ideapad with pre-installed win8 and recovery button work?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a y510p ideapad. It came with pre-installed win8, and I have no recovery CD. I intend to play with linux on this laptop, but do not want to lose win8. So before I have potentially immediately reformat, I think to make a copy of clone of my HDD on an external USB drive. The general plan is like that,

    1. make a copy of mobile on external USB HARD drive

    2 mud with linux - and foolishly autour reformat the entire process

    3. have fed up with linux and want to return to windows

    4 copy of retrospective data from usb driver external HDD latop

    5 return to the comfort of win8

    With the help of this tool (clonezilla) will work in the above scenario?

    http://www.MakeUseOf.com/tag/free-advanced-hard-drive-cloning-solution-from-Clonezilla/

    If not, are there any other alternatives (free if all goes well) I could use?

    My intention with the backup, is that after that I have 'restore' things, "a key recovery" button should continue to work as before.

    Make the plan will cause OKR is not functioning properly. To prove this to get a hard drive of exact size and make a clone of hard disk of the device. Remove the hard drive from the unit and place the disc clone hard inside. You can now play with the disk hard clone to your hearts desire but OKR first test if it still works. Even if OKR no longer work, you can proceed with the installation of linux. Once you're disgusted with Linux everything you have to do is replace the hard disk clone with the original hard drive and you're back to win with OKR 8 still works.

    Have a laptop with windows 7 from Dell. Need to re install W7. And I have some numbers are taken as a result of its use.
    How can I get a new code activation or my complete activation code?

    Dell provided you with restore/recovery media and/or a way to restore the machine 'default' as a key sequence?  If so - you won't need the number--unless they just sent a DVD of Windows 7 nu - and they are usually not unless you ask.

    They have probably installed using their key, which means that even with a utility like Belarc Advisor or ProduKey - you will not get the product key that matches the one on the sticker.

    Some may have you take several different digital pictures of the sticker from different angles and see if you can decipher the missing characters like that (you'd be surprised to see how that works).

  • New user problem: Source and program monitors not identical

    Hello

    After several years of inactivity edition I want to make a new start – now with a new version of Adobe. Seems I have to do a large part of the new curve... ;-)

    Implementation of a simple test/learning project, I immediately met a strange problem:

    My Source monitor and program monitor have another 'form': the Source monitor is a block (4:3?), the program monitor is a big screen.

    I'm not aware of having modified or arranged these parameters, and I can't do them even.

    How to do this?

    The questions and related issues:

    • I looked up the initial project settings that allow me the selection of options PAL (and not NTSC), but also big screen by default (and not a different screen format). I can't find. How to do this?
    • Commenting on these parameters of the project, I'm not sure 100% what to choose if I still have the choice: I think that older movies (to change) have my trip so the most recent or 4:3 screen 16:9 wide. And after a crash of my Canon camcorder is on the way which also records (I think) on the big screen. So: Select a specific screen/project format? And WHAT should I choose?
    • The different shape of the Source and the program monitor seems to affect the use of the Titler window: also has a form 'bulk '. Thus the titles in the Titler different completely in the program monitor, especially in what concerns eligible margins. This also gives the creation of models of Titler very confusing and difficult.

    Thanks for the help!

    WimYogya

    Hi Wim,

    The Source monitor and program have qualities of different reading. For example.

    Source monitor will play the original clip. So, if you have a 4:3 video, it will play as it is.

    The program monitor will play within the parameters of the sequence you have chosen. Thus, in the case of sequence > sequence he settled on square pixel 1.0 and the clip is 4:3 it will play in a square pixel.

    I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop.  The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers.  I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?

    You can do it, but you don't have to install cs3 in order to install your upgrade of cs5.5.

    You can launch the installation of cs5.5 and you will be asked your cs5.5 serial number.  Setup will ask you then select the product (in a drop-down list) calling.  Select cs3 and you will be prompted for the serial number for cs3.

    Enter the correct number at the right time and to proceed with the installation.

    If you no longer need these programs on your old laptop, disable (help > deactivate) before uninstalling so that you can keep your two activations.
