Hi again Linc,
I have gone through the steps you listed, but terminal didn't do much.
after I input the line beginning with kextstat, nothing happened at all, so I input (copied and pasted) the next line. then I got the warning, typed my password, and proceeded. After putting the "launchctl" line on one line and pressing return, I got this:
com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae
com.adobe.AAM.Scheduler-1.0
I put in the final command after that, beginning with "ls -1" and got this:
ls: /Library/InputManagers: No such file or directory
/Library/StartupItems:
Not sure what I should do ... ! help!
