I installed Adobe Reader 6.0.1 twice, by mistake. I had Adobe Reader, it worked OK, i just thought that I got the new version, and installed it twice. Now, when open PDF or run Acrobat, I see notification error message "There was an error while loading the plug-in 'PaperMetaData.api. The plug-in is failed to initialize.". After confirming, PDF opens normally. I tried repair installation use 'Repair' option provided by Adobe Reader 6.0.1 installer, but this not help. Regards, Santander

USB Mass Storage problem
by Guest ind_123- 1 reply
- 348 views
The IDE drive is from a laptop and runs with the USB cable power. I can hear the drive running when I hook it up. It was working on the laptop before. I have seen the Disk management but nothing there. The problem seems to be that the windows fails to install the new hardware. It gives me message that recognised "USB-IDE" then as "USB Mass Storage " then it pops up saying "Failed to install new hardware" reason being that device is not recognised. I dont know how to solve it.

I have three files showing in my TEMP file that I cannot remove. They are: dfbeba.tmp 134KB df6346.tmp 134KB dff19a.tmp 394KB I believe that the three files are possibly hi-jack files. I was able to locate these files when I ran Easy Cleaner, but was unsuccessful in removing them from my system. Any instructions on how to rid my system of this what ever it is would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Frog

by Guest MEB- 49 replies

PCR and Gram Pappy [among others] have been discussing firewall settings and what they can or should be used for. In the spirit of those discussions, I thought I would post some blocked activity from a SINGLE session/contact through my ISP and ONLY to this news server and my email accounts [via OE6]. This is from the firewall log [several of my normal settings/restrictions were specifically reset for this presentation]. No other Internet activity occurred [e.g., no external IE or browser usage or other activity]. All *allowed activity* has been removed, so that the addresses and activities blocked might be addressed for perhaps a greater understanding of the…

IDE Controller problem?
by Guest McDermotts- 12 replies
- 919 views
Just recently started using this old computer since other one broke. All works ok, but seems rather sluggish. I find under device manager. hard disk controllers it lists "Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller". Under that it lists "Primary IDE Controller (dual fifo)" and there is a yellow circle with the exclamation point inside. Under that it lists "Secondary IDE Controller (dual fifo)" and no warning indicator. I tried removing the IDE Controller listing, then restarting. It says the current drivers are the best. The yellow warning comes rigfht back, also. Thanks for any help/info, Todd McD

Hi everyone, I was on the 'net and I received this pop up. It said to the effect Error alert. I think that is what it said at the top. A window popped up wanting me to download a registry cleaner. I click the close and then a gray box that wanted me download a program with an ok button and all the buttons at top were grayed out you could not close. I was not about to do it. I then did the Ctrl-Alt-Del and got it out that way. This happened a couple of times in 2 days. I had just opened a newsletter from a site I trusted and went to the website and shortly got that. I then unsubscribed the newsletter. Did it come from the website or someplace else? What else …
