Hi Harold, Try this: http://tinyurl.com/2dld8j
Looks like a lot of work to me :-) Good Luck! Marlene -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harold B. Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 11:45 AM To: PC Works_LIST Subject: PCWorks: Adobe Reader Hello again, I was getting messages that I should update my Adobe Acrobat Reader. I was using Adobe 6.0.2 along with all the updates that I periodically installed and just now decided to install Adobe 8. During the installation I got the following message: "Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D 5 35}\Programmable. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel." ... what's that? PCWorks is my support personnel. 1.. I clicked OK and the installation ended. 2.. Next thing I did was open the registry, and follow the above path to that Programmable key. 3.. I right-clicked that Programmable key > Permissions > Advanced > and there I am stuck, not knowing what to do. 4.. I did manage to put something in the right pane. This right pane was empty so I put a default sub-key there (if that's what it's called) with which I can't do anything like modify etc, nor would I know what to do if I could make changes. As you all know, the registry is a fun and a strange place to hang out. 5.. After attempting to install Adobe 8 and failing, I lost what came pre-installed with Windows XP, the Adobe 6.0.2. Going to "Compaq Application Recovery" and re-installing Adobe easily remedied that. Now I'm back with Adobe 6.0.2. So does anyone know what has to be done with the Registry so I can install Adobe 8? I could live with Adobe 6 but when receiving some Acrobat Reader files, I do get a message when opening them that I should upgrade to the newer version. I click OK and the file then opens with no problem. But how do I install Adobe 8 without having to re-install the entire system just to correct that Registry error? PS: Thanks, Clint. Regarding the "Wallpaper" subject, I do have IrfanView; I'll have to learn how to "batch convert" image files to change a folder full of bmp's to jpg's in one fell swoop (if that is possible). --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
