Adobe Reader is indeed a piece of garbage.
Trying to remove from a computer system is no mean feat. It took me over an hour a few years ago to do so.

And welcome.

Please be aware that, with this topic, I am coming at you from a position of complete ignorance. However, here are a couple of possibilities I uncovered following a quick online search:

I am looking for a small utility program that enables both the mic and the incoming sound from the speakers/headphones for YouTube Live. (Check one or the other, or both at the same time).

It's confusing, I know, it sure is confusing the heck out of me. 🙂

"Orphaned registry entries" was probably the wrong term to use. I've changed that now to reflect what I really meant. Must have been suffering from brain fog. 🙂

Obsolete registry entries can also be caused by improper software installations, malware ...]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2025 16:29:37 -0400 Mindblower on Revo Registry Cleaner Review https://davescomputertips.com/forum/computer-software/revo-registry-cleaner-review/#p16080 Computer Software https://davescomputertips.com/forum/computer-software/revo-registry-cleaner-review/#p16080 Okay Jim, I jump in here.  So what else is the source of orphaned registry entries?  Personally prefer the Uninstaller from Ashampoo as I several of their programs and am very happy with their customer support, Mindblower!
