    After installing the program using creative cloud on a Windows computer, the program (por first cs6) does not appear in my program list.

    Thanks for your help!

    This is the reason why it does not appear in the list of programs.

    Applications like After Effects, Premiere Pro are compatible with 64-bit computers only.

    However, you can install the CS 4 version that is compatible with 32-bit computers.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender works not together

    I've recently switched to Microsoft Security Essentials, I it works on Windows Vista, but now Windows Defender is turned off.  If I try to 'start' Defender window freezes and it keeps just who goes back to the window where I would start from.  These two programs are not compatible?

    I've recently switched to Microsoft Security Essentials, I it works on Windows Vista, but now Windows Defender is turned off.  If I try to 'start' Defender window freezes and it keeps just who goes back to the window where I would start from.  These two programs are not compatible?

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

    If it's not:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

    Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

    Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

  • Installation of anchor 9 failed - unable to uninstall v.8, does not appear in the Panel

    I try to install the 9 presenter, but I get an error that says "a preliminary or contradictory to Adobe Presenter 9.0 version exists on this computer.  The contradictory version must be removed before the installation of the current media. ».  From what I read on the forums, I interpret this as meaning I want to uninstall first presenter 8.  According to the instructions, I should be able to remove it using the Control Panel programs and features, but the presenter does not appear here (if I open PPT it is still there, so I know v.8 is always installed).  I tried to use the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool but the presenter does not appear as an option for removal.  Can you please tell me how I can uninstall presenter 8 so I can install presenter 9? I use PPT 2010 32 bit and trying to install presenter 9 32 bit.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Based on the snapshot you shared, it seems that the presenter 8 is installed as part of e-Learning Suite 6.1

    Then please select "eLearning Suite 6.1" in Add Remove programs and click on "Uninstall".

    Then you will get the option to select the products that you need to uninstall.

    Select 'Presenter 8' only and uninstall it.

    Then install the anchor 9.

    I would like to know if it works for you.
