In Vista, Primo PDF keeps asking me to "Streamline" no matter what I say. How do I stop it?
Has anyone installed PrimoPDF on a Vista box and had this happen?
If I click on "Yes, streamline PrimoPDF", it still asks me the next time
If I click on "Yes, streamline PrimoPDF" and check "Do not ask me again", it still asks me the next time
If I click on "No", it still asks me the next time
If I click on "No" and check "Do not ask me again", it still asks me the next time
If I click on the close (the red X button in the corner), it still asks me the next time
If I go into the Advanced settings and deselect "Display Streamline Notification", it still asks me the next time
If I go into Updates settings and deselect Updates, it still asks me the next time
Since you don't actually run the executable, but rather print to it, running "as administrator" isn't easy.
First I tried running Paint and Notepad as admin and tried all of the above and no change.
Then I tried using Process Explorer to find the executable that actually runs, copied that text, and tried running it as a stand-alone application AS Administrator and it STILL won't work.
Please let me know if anyone's ever heard of this.
oh, and sorry if this is the wrong "zone" but there isn't one for PrimoPDF

Thanks for the effort but it turns out this software has a bug, which the developers have already admited to publicly. Until they find a way to fix it and post the new version, I'm sticking with http://www.cutepdf.com/

Good thinking though! Can't believe I didn't think to check RegEdit. .
However it did inspire me to take a look at their forums and I found this

Damn! And I thought I knew how to use procexp.exe. Anyway after trying various advice in that thread with no luck, I decided to just wait till they fix it with a new version. Until then, CutePDF Writer works just fine so I'm sticking with that. http://www.cutepdf.com/
Thanks for the effort anyways.
