I am receiving the error message in the subject line when I try to clear the Adobe Reader 8.0 folder. I was having problems with Adobe starting correctly and attempted to delete the folder. I decided to run the chkdsk and Vista said it would schedule to run it at the next reboot. This did not occur so I started Vista at the command line and ran chkdsk. It said there was an error but would not fix it stating my hard drive was read-only. The message said it would run it at the next reboot and again it did not occur. I need to get this problem resolved and would like to know why Vista will not allow me to run chkdsk.

Hi Chris,
Did you try and run the Adobe uninstaller and then reinstall it?

When I try to uninstall I get a Internal Error 2330, 1392, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Browser.
When I try to delete the physical folder from Windows Explorer or Command Prompt it comes back with the directory is corrupted. I have tried to run chkdsk but it won't start at bootup nor in safe mode with command prompt.
Any other ideas. I really need to get Adobe off and reinstall.

Did you try to run uninstall using Run as Administrator? Did you ever write something else in the Adobe directory after installing Vista? You might8 be a victim of the new Vista 'File Virtualization'. See support.microsoft.com/kb/927387/en-us.

Hi Chris,
One more thing I remembered about Adobe Reader. Did you stop the two programs in Task Manager that Adobe runs at Vista startup? They'll be listed in the Start Menu in the Startup folder (All Programs).

All thanks for responding to my question. Sadly I was forced to rebuild my computer from scratch. Hopefully I will not have to do this in the future.

I am a student who is taking on-line classes. The on-line format ("Blackboard") is used nation-wide, and is not connected to any one University in particular. This being said, the section where I am to submit my work is similar to the "Add new Thread" in this forum - yet I am unable to type within the box. I have kept updated on all the Vista new downloads. I was told by a tech support person from Blackboard suggested to get a patch from Java, (the bottom of the screen reads "Error on page," then everything else says "Java script" when highlighted) I did this and the problem has not changed. I realize this is probably a very simple problem to resolve (I'm hoping!), so if anyone has some wisdom to impart - it would be much appreciated! Thanks Rebekah
