| 725298 | 2008-12-08 21:45:00 | Thanks for the replies, Rolling back the system to the original uninstall state was my first thought and that is what I did but I got the message that goes something like "their were no system changes so undo did nothing" (obviously not in those words). I have definitely thought about using a different PDF printer but my main concern is that I have half of a program on my computer which "Secunia Personal Software Inspector" is telling me is a threat and I can't do anything about it. Not to mention the little windows installer box that keeps popping up from time to time. I can only assume it's related as it doesn't actually tell me what it's trying to install. I may run a registry cleaner to see if that helps but if parts of the program are installed probably I would think that that would be enough to make it not be picked up as a problem. Comments/suggestions? |

| 725299 | 2008-12-08 23:06:00 | Did you read the original post fully - Last paragraph Pcteks suggestion is prob better anyway :thumbs: - Foxit (www.foxitsoftware.com) doesn't have the Bloat that Adobe does. The original poster said:- "What I did was stupidly uninstall "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional" and thinking that I would not be able to fine the re-install package I thought I would roll my system back to a restore point before the uninstall. This worked in as far as I have the icon back and can open the program but I have no functionality eg. I can't print to pdf from other programs any more." This, to me, means that the OP would have the ability to create *.pdf files using the PRO version Adobe. Foxit is only a reader with no way to create a PDF file as far as I know. The original software makes no mention of the media involved as well. |

| 725300 | 2008-12-09 01:27:00 | thank again, i think I have solved the problem with Adobe, I haven't reinstalled it yet but we'll see. what I did was use a download off download.com called uninstall plus and that seems to have gotten rid of everything, hopefully. The windows installer box did pop up again once and I seem to have a different problem altogether, which is probably better being posted on another blog, but for all of you who are intrested I have now lost 90% of the programs listed under the "all programs" box. They all still seam to be there but just not in that list, I'll have to see if their is a way to refresh that list or something. In the mean time I might just run my suit of PC fix's and see what turns up. wish me luck. Thanks again. This is a very useful site and I will keep posted and give advice where I can. DaveK. |
