Guest leapfrog vista Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 this is crazy! it was working a few days ago and Im not sure what happened. All I want to do is to restore thumbnails for pdf files with adobe reader 9 in windows explorer. after installing - uninstalling and fiddling with reader 9, I have come to the conclusion that the problem arises from some administrative privileges on the registry. I however am administrator, I try to register the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\PDFShell.dll with the regsvr32 command via a command line launched with administrator privilages.... right click, and run as administrator" I get this very annoying message: The module "PDFShell.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with the error code 0×80070005 WTF I am admin and I want to register the dll and I cant? I went to that key in the registry and tried to fiddle with it to gain permission, but the permissions seem fine... I am doing something similar to what I find in this page, and im doing it correctly but vista seems to not want to comply! http://www.lorenheiny.com/2007/05/01/if-si...in-ie-try-this/ any ideas? this is super duper annoying Quote

I (the OP) have enabled and logged into the super admin OF COURSE! But was not able to fix the problem.... On XP adobe thumbnails work flawlessly or even if they don't work its extremely easy to fix. I formatted the horrible thing! Now its fixed! Vista sucks.

Guest Theory of Everything Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 hello idiot, nice to see you are your crappy self! I already know where the problem lays, the solution is very similar to what you can read below, its all about stupid vista and its stupid registry key permissions! I could take the time and hunt for the registry keys for adobe reader too, however I thought that formatting vista would give me a lot more pleasure knowing that it will be erased from my hard drive. SOLUTION: The solution is to properly set the permissions on certain registry keys. So how do I fix the problem? You can do it manually or you could use the Windows Resource Kit tool to help. To fix it with the resource tool (6 steps): step 1: download and install the Microsoft resource tool from here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23418 step 2: Download the quicktime.cmd file here http://rapidshare.com/files/144313715/quicktime.zip OR copy all the text below and paste it in a new notpad txt file, and then rename the file as quicktime.CMD subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTfile/grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.QuickTime /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.QuickTime.5 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils.1 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControl /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControl.1 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControlPropPage /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControlPropPage.1 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.CFObject /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.CFObject.1 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTMatrix /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTMatrix1 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils.1 /grant=administrators=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTfile/grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.QuickTime /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.QuickTime.5 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils.1 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControl /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControl.1 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControlPropPage /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControlPropPage.1 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.CFObject /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.CFObject.1 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTMatrix /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTMatrix1 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils.1 /grant=users=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTfile/grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.QuickTime /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.QuickTime.5 /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils.1 /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControl /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControl.1 /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControlPropPage /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOControl.QTControlPropPage.1 /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.CFObject /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.CFObject.1 /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTMatrix /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTMatrix1 /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QTOLibrary.QTUtils.1 /grant=system=f step 3: move that file you just made to THIS directory (folder) >>> C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools step 4: On windows, Go to start> Accessories > and right click on the Command prompt icon and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR step 5: in the command line type this: cd C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools in order to navigate to the folder you placed that file step 6: type quicktime.cmd inside the command prompt window and press enter to launch the file you just created before... you will see lots of lines scrolling in the command prompt fixing the registry permissions. Quicktime should work from now on.
