simcity Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) I have a serious problem with my window 7 new HP notebook I cannot update my Adobe reader, it says i do not have permission. I went to regedit and some permission cannot be change, some can. I uninstall my precedent adobe reader, NOW i do not have it on my notebook (and need it) it for any raison do not let me install a new version, Or older version. I suppose the original reader came with the notebook preinstall, and for a stupid raison they lock on me, I have problem installing opera as well. My last 2 situations will be to buy window 7 professional (that was on the plan) and do a clean install on the notebook or find someone who know BUT BUT if someone have a clever suggestion, please tell me many thanks PS i am log as admin and change the compatibility in th properties Edited February 3, 2010 by simcity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytigerbkk Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Try right clicking the installer and the click run as administrator. That may be the permision that you need. If not then I am stumped. Regards, Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 You are here asking advice yet have been messing with the regedit feature. I would suggest you do not use the regedit if you are not competent enough to understand it. Try updating adobe or as said right click the program and run as administrator.

Done that, administrator + compatibility , all my updates go without problem through window7, but not the Adobe Reader (Failed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you know it already ! PDFCreator is a similiar solution but OpenSource. Have been using this one for years, very reliable, finally they have revamped the UI design of the settings dialog. +1 for Foxit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
