More update frustration!!!

So, an update on the whole Microsoft/iTunes issue is that I've spent at least 8 hours researching how to fix this to no avail!!! What I have figured out is that my computer keeps trying to install a security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Pack (whatever that means). I've tried like 3 different solutions including uninstalling anything that said visual c++ then installing visual c++ 2010, which didn't work.  Arggggh, I'm thinking about giving up on this....

And, now, to top it all off, I created for myself an Adobe Reader update nightmare.  Here's the skinny on this.  I was reading an article for class in Adobe Reader and thought to myself, it would be nice to be able to highlight this like a book.  So, I went online and found that that you can with the latest Reader update, Adobe Reader X (10.1.1).  Well, I was apparently running a super old version of reader (9.1) so went ahead and started the update.  I get this error with something about a missing patch and I needed to uninstall Adobe then reinstall it.  So, I go into uninstall programs and lo and behold, there is NO Adobe reader for me to uninstall.  I tried the update like 3 more times, all with the same error.  I am going to try and figure this one out, but I can say without hesitation that I am seriously considering throwing this computer out the window!!!

  1. You could throw Windows out the Window and come on over to the Other Side... :) [to the Mac World] :)
    Just kidding! Although I am very much a Mac person, there are certainly pros and cons either way.
    I wish I had suggestions for you on this one on how to fix the problem, but unfortunately I don't! Have you tried the UMD Help desk (218-726-8847)? I wonder if anyone there has any ideas?
