So, I had this client, who couldn’t get into Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional under winders 2k, it just locked up whenever he’d try to open it up… so I logged into winders under my own profile, and it worked BEAUTIFULLY… The user INSISTED that it was Adobe that was broken, so I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled the app… no biggie, and it gets the client off my back… of course, it doesn’t work.
So I’m thinking maybe it’s a corrupt profile, but the system won’t let me even RENAME his profile, saying the disk is full or write protected. After a little looking into his local settings, I find he’s got 66,077 acr*.tmp files… do we see a possible problem here? Long story, short (too late) I deleted the .tmp files and had him try again and it worked like a charm. SURPRISE.
Now I’m wondering, what’s the LARGEST amount of tmp files you’ve ever seen in a winders system?
