My Vista OS seems to be preventing me from making any change to my Reader updater AND I've discovered that the settings are incorrect. I want “Automatically install updates” selected instead of “Do not download or install updates automatically” and the choice does not stay selected.
ALSO, I tried to check for updates manually-- I opened Reader, clicked on “Help” then clicked on “Check for Updates” – got message: “Update failed -- To update Adobe Reader you need administer privileges on this machine. Error 1200”
Strange, because I AM the Owner/Administrator on this machine!!
I think I have traced the possible problem to “User Account Control” as it is the window that pops up when I make a change in Reader. But I have not been able to turn the UAC on or off.
Any suggestions as to how to get out of this mess would be SO appreciated!!! I need to eventually get the latest update installed and keep the updates coming, as I'm concerned about security.
