Error 1003: I get this error code when I try to connect to a Web site. I have revived the iPad and was able to do, however, when I left the game I got error 1003. I tried to reconnect and automatically received this error message. This happens with all browsers on my iPad. I deleted the cookies, cache, etc, it may not always connect. Help, please.
You can try this by using a different connection? If possible cell or another location of WiFi?
If it goes with several browsers - it's probably your network

Install Acrobat DC says I have a newer version installed - what should I do?
As topic, Acrobat DC installer says I have a newer version installed - what should I do?
I had installed DC previously, but it doesn't work anymore, so I uninstalled, then I tried to reinstall - think that some files must have left me, but I don't know where to look.
Thanks for any help,
Craig
Please use Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs cleanup tool to completely remove DC Acrobat (if you are using Windows), and then restart your system.
Then try to reinstall the application from the following links:
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution
Adobe Acrobat DC: download Standard or Pro versions of Acrobat DC, XI or X
Let us know how it goes.
Kind regards

When you try to re - install Windows XP, it does not detect the hard drive.
Hi all. I tired to do a reinstall of Windows XP today. It seems to take a lot of time, and then I did a very stupid thing. I turned off the laptop that I had to go. Now when I try to start the laptop on the cd, I get as far the screen where I have to press on enter to install Windows XP pro on the system or press R to repair. The problem is that there is now no facilities to choose from in the box below and the system is not recognizing the hard drive. I can't even as much as the screen to format the drive. When I press ENTER to install windows xp, then I get a blue screen telling me that the system shuts down to protect my pc. Is anyone able to tell me what to do to solve this problem please. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Noel
original title: I did a stupid thing... Windows XP ProSounds like a hard drive problem then. Your drive is maybe defective. First of all, you can use the partition of diagnostic Dell (F12) for its determination.
In case there is a SATA problem, press F2 to enter the BIOS and change the setting of hard disk SATA to legacy. (Might as well try this first.)

I got a blue screen when you try to re - install Windows 7.
All started 3 days ago. I was using just my PC regularly, then I get a BSOD. Whenever I tried to reboot, I get a BSOD after about a minute after loading screen. The BSOD was rdyboost.sys I did a system restore using the windows via memory stick installation. Things were great, that 10 minutes later, I start getting BSOD, once again and each time after that screen as before loading. I tried to reinstall windows, but I have a BSOD at 30% to each hour. My motherboard is ASRock extreme 3 gen z68 3. Is there something wrong with the motherboard in this case? It seems to be a hardware problem, now, I guess. the BSOD now varies from as "changing the code of the system or a critical data structure has been detected" to "ntfs.sys" or * STOP: #.
I took pictures of the BSOD, but there is no option to transfer to this post. I am trying to install windows 7 pro 64-bit, which was originally about it.
~ I need help fast. Thank you. I'm willing to do whatever it is necessary. Should I try to install windows xp and see if I have some luck?
Solved the problem myself. I did memtest on individual RAM, a strip of RAM was defective. Thanks for the help.

"Error 1722" when you try to re - install Windows XP from WINNAT32.exe.
I'm trying to reinstall Windows xp on your desktop (dell 8400 dimension) and continue to receive the error 1722 "there is a problem with the windows package install. The computer came with a disk of windows, so I tried to uninstall using WINNAT32.exe, he begins to gather and then installation files to halfway, comes up with the error message. It also shows a system restore area until the error message closes... Is there another way to format the drive and reinstall windows? Or any way to stop the next error? I already downloaded and installed the latest windows install but nothing helped. Any help would be great. Thank you.
LeeThanks for your reply Samhrutha, I managed to create a boot disk for a program initially provided with the Dell computer. It allowed me to create a bootable disc of my BONES, and in addition, I managed to format my hard drive and reinstall Windows. So if someone is in the same boat with a Dell Dimension 8400, there is the possibility to do so if you have not already done (that a disk can be created). Just go to start, see "Dell" in all programs and hey presto.
Thank youLee. -
