Adobe 4 giving problems. Reinstallation failed. Error message " Error reading config file C;/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe help Center/Adobe Help Data/AHC-contracts.Xml at line3:junk after doument element " Can you sort this out?

hi,
when you have your document opened, look every layer to find little yellow triangle(s), witch means that there is a problem with this(those) layer(s), it can be (more often) the text layers that have fonts that you don't have installed, or a reference file that has been moved from original path.
hope you'll solve that !
cheers
mich

Copy the file config.qvm and other .qvm files from C:/program files/eidos interactive/progect igi/pc to C:/program files/eidos interactive/progect igi/pc/common/ai

Hi,
you may try to fix it by doing this:

If it does not help, reply and I will give you further instructions.

Could be you need the latest Adobe pdf file reader on your computer to open the files. Software can be such a PIA. Can also be because you are using firefox 8, a real old version of the browser. Update the browser!

whats Graffi\'s automatic program, it sound like this program is incompatible with adobe photoshop elements. what format wereyour original files before you opened them in phtotoshop elements?

This will fix it.
1. RUN DISK DEFRAGMENT FROM WITHIN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM OR DURING STARTUP 2. RUN FISK DISK COMMAND FROM MS DOS 3. RUN CHKDSK COMMAND FROM MS DOS 4. IF YOU CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS, PLEASE RETURN FOR MORE DIRECT HELP FROM ME.

I tried all the "decent" uninstall solutions like running HP's Level 1-4 Uninstall batch files. HP's installation software still insisted that parts were already installed. Then, with the scanner connected, the installation software got into competition with Windows also trying to install the driver. The reinstallation was no good. Solution Center wouldn't even start, preposterously announcing that it couldn't find the scanner!

When you have a reliable clone of your c:\ drive you can try daring solutions. Such as this:
1. Search the c:\ drive for files and folder with "Hewlett" or "HP" in their names. Kill them all.
2. Search the registry for keys with "Hewlett" visible or buried. Kill them all.

After 1 & 2, reinstallation worked smoothly. And my computer still works! The only evidence of the violence is an undeletable file 3963d.rbf now in c:\Config.Msi. I will report back if serious computer problems arise.

The point is that manual uninstall is possible and none of the elements are in hidden places. Someone else can determine whether both file and key deletions are necessary and exactly which ones.

no problem...

se HERE...

folow the instructions, and you will be ok :)

Was it the preferences file that you deleted? The description you gave to your problem sounds like your running a windows machine instead of Mac so i'll give you keys for PC. While program is launching hold down the following keys "Control+Shift+Alt" then when there is a screen that asks to delete the prefs files select "yes".

if you get this error message when you try to open a particular file. the problem could probably be in the .pdf file and not the software. if this is not the case, uninstall adobe reader completely and reinstall it. if this docent work. download the latest version of adobe reader from the adobe site and try installing it again.
