  "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot open 'amy application' because it's a non supported file type or because the file is damaged."

  I received this message during indexing on my computer.  I could not get the message, so I

  uninstalled Adobe.

  After you have uninstalled Abobe, I was able to get all my jobs and applications (with the exception of adobe files).

  Then I tried to re - install Adobe, but who has turned to a complicated procedure.

  There are so many choices, and there are a number of downloadable updates. What was I guess what to do?   But I have chosen one of the Adobes and tried to install it.

  After that I don't know what happened.  All my desktop icons are now Adobe icons in place.   that is The Firefox icon is now replaced by an icon of Adobe.  It is the same for several other desktop program icons. (QuickTime, chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.)

  When I try to open the program by clicking on it, I get the above message.

  I went to the site of help from Adobe and read a complex string of instructions, including

  words like '% pdf', "DWROD" and, for me, other nonsensical words and phrases.

  Needless to say that the instructions were no help.

  I said all that to say this.  I want that my computer back.  What should I do to do?

  Sincerely,

  Ralph Thompson

• Portege 3480CT: Canoe DVD-> not present error message "No Disk".

  I have a Portege 3480CT (Win 98) and PA3042E - MEDIA PORT REPLICATOR 1DST. Although the DVD playback software is installed and I can't read the DVD. I tried WINDVD, POWER DVD, both for WIN 98, nothing helps. Decoder DVD software WIN 98 is also installed. If a DVD is loaded, every piece of software will return the error: "there is no disk.

  What should I do to play DVDs on my computer?

  Thank you in advance.

  Are you using an original DVD?
  Maybe there's something wrong with the region code settings.
  If you want to play s DVD with different region the reader couldn t code recognizes the Middle!

  It is a port replicator, and it seems that the CD/DVD drive letter is set dynamically

• Cannot install W2K on Portege 3480CT

  On eBay, I bought a Portege 3480CT use it as a good machine to create texts out of office. But now I can not install W2K on it.

  It has an external CD drive and does not install: w2k, Linux, W98 (original)... for my favorite W2K, it says: "could not find NTLDR" (w2k) and: "media entfernen - neustart: taste druecken;

  There is no other boot device, no other disc in any location... the disc is my original one, the boot device is passed to 'boot from CD' - the system is used for W2K (there a sticker on the back, which gives me this information).

  and now I'm at the point, I have no idea how to continue.

  Is it possible to make it work again?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  If a "NTLDR is missing" message that this indicates that the disk is not bootable.
  Many times this is caused when the computer tries to boot from the CD-ROM or a diskette not bootable.
  In this forum, many users wanted to install the W2K on this laptop.
  First of all, you need a bootable disc.

  If you want to boot from the CD of Win98, you must first create a companion disk. See the page of the Toshiba driver for companion disk files.

• HD in Portege 3480CT upgrade

  I run the latest version of the bios 1.4
  tried to install mk1031gas 100 GB toshiba drive but get INACCESSIBLE by CAR
  The drive works fine in a desktop pc

  IF this is NOT the case, how can I make it work?

  Hello

  I'm sure that the HARD drive is too big for this machine. Maybe your Portege works correctly with 20 GB but 100 GB, too. Sorry, but I think there is no way to make it work.

• IBM travelstar external USB compatibility with Portege 3480CT

  Hello
  I try to use an IBM & reg travelstar in a box external usb with my Portege 3480CT running Windows 2000 (with sp4). While the disc is recognized as plug-and-play on other computers running win2k and winXP, is not recognized on my Portege, which gives an error message suggests that the drivers are missing.

  According to IBM/hitachi (which make the player), no drivers are needed and the drive should work as plug-and-play, recognized as a generic USB HDD. This happens all other computers I've tried.

  Are their compatibility problems with this drive? Or are their special all the drivers necessary to recognize this configuration on the Portege?
  Thank you
  B

  Hello

  AFAIK there is no driver required for external hard drives and they are recognized as plug-and-play. Your Portege is an old unit and there may be a problem with the USB ports. Have you checked the other USB devices?

  It is also possible that there is not enough power, and in this case, it is recommended to connect the drive using USB hub with own power supply.

  Good bye

• iCloud Drive on my mac stops the synchronization of non-standard files

  In my iCloud account, I created two folders (individuals and businesses) in addition to standard folders.  Standards are iMovie, Keynote, Numbers, etc.  On my MacBook Pro (OSX Yosemite V10.10.5), these non-standard files synchronizes any more.

  A solution is to disable iCloud drive, and then restart, but the problem is recurring.  In addition, it is a lot of your time, because whenever I turn it on, it deletes all of my computer and you should download again on restart.

  Is there a solution to this?  Non standard folders are not supported?

  BTW: The iCloud drive on my Windows PC works perfectly...  Hmmm

  Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

• Portege 3480CT: Multimedia - need a player software Replicator

  I have a Toshiba Portege 3480CT with an external media Port Replicator. I recently loaded Windows XP but do not have the DVD player software. Can someone tell me how to find the appropriate download?

  Hello

  You can use the playback software DVD evry you can find on the market. It should not be used Toshiba one (WinDVD if you think about this one).

  Google a bit and you will find a large number of them. My favorite is the Power DVD Deluxe software. InterVideo WinDVD is a part of the recovery under Win XP OS image, but you can download it from the net http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/Product_Download.jsp?p=WinDVD

• Compatible hard drives for Portege 3480CT

  Hello

  I have a Portege 3480CT and I need to replace its 12 GB (IBM & reg Travelstar) drive hard internal since the former on a developed bad blocks. Now, I assumed that it would be relatively simple, but I was wrong.

  In any case, I got a replacement 2.5 "HD (this time a Hitachi Travelstar, 20 GB drive), but I couldn't make it work. I ran the program from IBM/Hitachi diagnosis and while the old 12 GB HDD is detected and removed ok, the 20 GB does not even get detected (i.e., seems that nothing is on the line of the IDE).

  It was suggested to me by IBM and Hitachi that there is a list of compatibility to their hard drives, and may not be supported (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/compatibility.htm), but I could not find my disc on their list (model is HTS424020M9AT00). Basically, what I want to know is what drives * are * compatible or what my problem with the laptop is otherwise.

  For more info, when I try to install Win2k, I get an ArcRead failure, probably because he thinks that the drive does not exist.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I guess that there is problem with drive HARD and false parameter who decide if the HARD drive is the master or slave.

  In my opinion you should contact the Service partner to ask them which HDD is suitable for your device. You can also check on the net and picking up some information because there are a lot of different suppliers where you can buy the HARD drive. I also found information that it is possible to use the 40 GB HARD drive for your unit, but it must be built in by seller.
