• Windows Vista won't allow me to open my files in its own window

  I can't get Windows Vista change to allow me to open my files in their own windows. I was not able to do this since I bought this computer a few months ago. I thought I did something wrong, but I follow the directions to the T and it continues to open only the folders in the same window.  Y at - it something I'm doing wrong? I follow the directions for help and check open in its own window and yet it acts as if I do not change it... I apply and ok and press to apply to all the files and still nothing.

  I don't know what are the instructions you followed, so here is a series of instructions on opening the windows, including how open each instance in its separate window: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91587-open-folder-same-separate-new-window.html.  Read full article and follow ALL these instructions (there are parts you include in your post that are important to make it work - but then again you probably do not understand everything).

  In the meantime, to open a specific folder in a new window, you can right click on the file and click on open rather than explore.  This will open the folder in a new window.  It's an extra step, but it is a workaround until you find the answer (if the above did not answer it).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• The profile of my Vista won't let pitchers PC game run game applications - a fresh profile works OK. A registry problem?

  Last weekend my PC has become infected with a malicious program called 'Vista Antispyware 2012' (probably due to a problem with my Norton subscription renewal).
  I used Norton Power Eraser utility and it seems to have removed the infection, but since then I have had two problems that might be related.

  One minor thing is that when I open PDF documents in a web browser (usually from Firefox, but IE) as well, the document opens, but I also have a "Open with" box that asks me to choose a program to open the file "AdobeARM.exe" (even if this program active at startup - msconfig function). This never happened before this past weekend. I can simply close the box, but it would be nice to understand why it's happening.

  The other thing that has started happening is that pitchers game for several Entertainment Arts (EA) PC games no longer work correctly. If the game is installed, the Launcher applications allow you to launch the game, launch the configuration or the uninstall utility. If the game is not yet installed, it allows you to run the Setup utility. The games and these utilities work fine if you work around the pitcher and activate the application manually files, but it's a problem when installing the game. This problem affects several games with launcher utilities which operate according to the same principle. Before infection and cleaning, these utilities worked well.

  As part of troubleshooting with EA and Norton, the following actions were taken:

  • With the EA technical support: a new Vista user profile has been created. By using this profile, the game Launcher worked as it should and I managed to reinstall (I used the control panel to uninstall thinking that a reinstallation may solve the problem, to see that this problem affects prevents installation of the Launcher as well), then activate the game from the Launcher. Switch back to my original profile, I managed to activate the utility launcher and I could activate the game manually, but still I could not the pitcher to do. Here everything before I learned that the problem affects more than just a game.
  • With the Norton tech support: think of a Norton firewall might prevent applications Launcher to work, we have removed Norton Internet Security 2009 and tried to use the Launcher but without success. (We have then upgraded to NIS 2012.)
  • With tech support (new) EA: came to the conclusion that there must be a registry setting in my current Vista profile that prevents the applications Launcher to activate another application. We were pretty sure it was something in my registry that is causing the problem, but we did not know what to look for.

  Is this a problem with my registration? Is the problem with the relief pitcher of the question with the opening of PDF files in a web browser?
  I'm not particularly be warned when it comes to understand the registry information or change.

  If one or two questions are due to a registry setting, can someone guide me through the steps to find and fix the problem?
  If it is not due to a setting in the registry, how should I do?

  Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

  I loaded new software (Stop Motion Pro) and the next time I rebooted, Vista is entered directly in Mode safe without asking.  I guess it's Safe Mode, although I have read some talk online that maybe he just screwed up my display settings and/or theme.  I tried readjusting my display settings and can't figure out how.  I also tried to remove the new software, but I don't see the option Add / Remove programs in Control Panel.  (The problem is that I want this software, so if I remove it, so what?)

• Lost my CD to install CS3, but still allowed. How can I install the new computer?

  I have a license of Photoshop CS3 and serial No., but lost my CD.  Looks that I can download to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html, but I still get this error: HTTP ERROR: 404 support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp.  Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the media?

  
  

  Thanks for any help!

  -BK
  

  HA!  This is a bad link from Adobe.  All other downloads seem to be going to http://trials2.adobe.com, but the CS3 downloads go to http://esd.adobe.com for a reason, and this does ' t exist.

  Then I copied the link and he spent myself:

  Bad link for Photoshop CS3 http://esd.adobe.com/Applications/Photoshop/CS3/Mac/ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.dmg:

  Good link for Photoshop CS4 http://trials2.adobe.com/dlm/Applications/Photoshop/CS4/Mac/ADBEPHSPCS4_LS1.dmg

  Manually typed link for Photoshop CS3, which allows me to download the file ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.dmg:
  http://trials2.Adobe.com/DLM/applications/Photoshop/Mac/ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.dmg

  HERE'S THE CATCH.

  You need to click on the first link first and get the download error.  From there on, you have to paste the link manually typed, otherwise you get the file not found or you do not have permissions.

  Either way, this file seems to be the same file linked from:

  It worked for me!
