    adobe manager.exe startup error?

    this afternoon when i turned my laptop on i got and when i reached to the desktop i got a error about adobe manager, saying that it won't run or can't locate the file. It tells me that to remove this error by removing it from the regisrty but i dont know which adobe registy to delete! i am really confused and don't know what to do. By the way i am running vista home premium.

    run "msconfig"
    Choose the startup tab, find the entry and untick it, that will stop it from loading.

    Alternatively download "Autoruns" which is a bit like MSConfig, but more advanced. This will show you were its being loaded from so you can remove the reference totally if MSConfig doesn't.

    Thanks for your replies

    agent: i have unticked all adobe options in msconfig and did a restart but still that manager problems continues. I installed Autorun but i couldn't any adobe entries.

    ZoNz0: i ran hijackthis but couldn't find the adobe entry.

    The only adobe program i have installed adobe acrobat.
    I know its some where in the registry but the problem is i don't know which one.

    Thanks in advance

    Re: adobe manager.exe startup error?

    had the same problem..but no fix so far! please help..

    On starting my laptop, I get an error message “….cannot find c:user…..\appdata\roaming\Adobe\Manager.exe”

    tried to use previous advices as above but unfortunately it didn’t work!

    two things I need to mention:

    1- I located the manager.exe file in adobe sub-folder (…appdata>roaming>adobe>manager.exe) tried to run it?! but didn’t work..tried to delete it & restart, also didn’t work!!

    2- Couldn’t find that file in the startup registery to uncheck? where could it be..I have run the msconfig.exe

    n.b: i also tried to run regcure software but it didn’t fix it?

    I would be very grateful for your advice regarding what could be done next?,

    ASA
