Open Folders Full Of Pictures - Attempted To Install Adobe Acrobat
Jul 22, 2007
I installed Adobe Acrobat about 2-3 weeks ago as part of a CreativeSuite package. I have yet to use it. However, just last night, when I tried to open a folder full of pictures on my desktop, for some reason, it attempted to install Adobe Acrobat. I cancelled the installation (acrobat was already installed) and the folder opened. I've tried some experiments now and it seems like every time I try to open a REGULAR FOLDER or a COMPRESSED FOLDER (ARCHIVE) ... ON MY DESKTOP ONLY, my computer attempts to install adobe acrobat. When I hit cancel the folder finally opens. I haven't waited to see what would happen if I let the computer install it cause I just spent hours cleaning my hard drive so my windows installation is sparkling and I don't want to mess that up w/ 2 copies of acrobat.
System: Dell Inspiron 9300 2Ghz Centrino w/ 2G memory Window XP Pro with SP2 I believe. Brand new system out of the box preloaded from vendor not Dell, but an integrator.
I have tried to load Adobe from the web and manual download file. XP just sits there and looks at me. NOTHING.
Sun Java 1.5 from web says load active X control (yellow bar at top of browser) click on it and windows Installer Window opens says preparing to install and stays there forever. Multiple JAVA.exe sessions running in task manager and ca not end task with any of them.
It necessary to remove Acrobat Reader in order to install an update. As part of the manual removal I was to remove three files at the cmd level. They will not remove at any level.All I get is Access denied. I am doing this with administrator privileges. How do I get these three files removed? They are .dll in the ActiveX directory.
last night I okayed an XP sp3 update and my computer went through the normal update process but I woke up and all it would do is restart, get to the windows splash and then restart again. I would love any and all help that I can get before I have to talk to the folks at microsoft
I have alot of problems with my computer i have alot of pop ups coming up...when i click to get into my computer or into pictures my documents it won't open it just clears everything...when i am on the internet i get redirected to pages that have nothing to do with what i tried to open. i also have a smss.exe opening everytime i turn on the computer and also services.exe
when i start up and log on under my name and as admin all my programs try to open with acrobat reader.i have to right click and run as but system files eg misconfig. control panel i can't open.two other accounts with out admin rights are running as normal from start up?
when i now left click on my desktop... on any icon that needs to explore a folder...like the recyle bin, the my computer icon, the windows explorer shortcut or any folder type icon it brings up a window where it tries to install adobe acrobat!! It does not happen when i left click a program icon...it also happens when i right click and select open or explore...eventually the computer finally realizes that it cannot install acrobat because it cannot locate the installation folder and then it finally opens the folder that i wanted. how to revert this behvior back to normal
when I'm trying to open any application in windows XP and the adobe program comes up with an error saying it cant open, because its unsupported. It makes no difference what program I open the adobe application still comes up.The only one not effected is explorer.Have a limited account active and this seems ok.tryed opening everything to get in the back door but I get the above error.
Running Windows XP Pro SP2... I don't know what happened, but when I click on any shortcut to a program, Adobe Reader tries to open it and then tells me it's not a supported type. I wanted to do a System Restore to go back to before this started happening, but Adobe is trying to open System Restore as well! I wanted to remove Adobe altogether to try to fix this, but I can't open Add/Remove Programs in control panel, because Adobe tries to open this
i have in "MY MUSIC" folder, over 85 individual folders all of which have an album cover displaying the artist that they represent. I have noticed in various other places on my PC that certain random folders also display an album cover.why is this, i have tried to select the restore to default but it seems to not wipe the folders clean. i hope this makes sense, its kinda annoying me that this is happening.
this may sound dumb and unimportant to most, but it's a pain in the keyster to me so here goes i'm an artist and i keep my photos i intend to paint in the "my pictures" section and i keep them organized in various folders.when i want to see a photo i double click on it and it shows up....great up to there. when i hit the "done" button, it takes me back to the top of the folder rather than the picture i just looked at it. i will often have various views of the same subject and would like to be able to return to the original photo and just click to the photo next to it rather be returned to the very top and have to scroll down and often guess at the one i just looked
A friend's computer total nightmare she doesn't know much about computers, and it seems thoroughly messed up. Tried installing Windows Defender, and it couldn't find her "My Pictures" folder so it didn't install. So I looked under her My Documents folder. It's missing the My Pictures and My Music folders. Plus, the other folders that are there, such as My Videos, etc., their icons are not special, they look like ordinary folders.Her computer's "Shared Documents" section looks fine, with all the usual folders with special icons, etc.
I've never had a problem viewing videos on Firefox but now I'm told I need to install Adobe Flash Player - but I'm unable to.I did a system search for AFP but nothing shows up. Does this mean I don't have it on my computer? How could I see videos before this past week but can't now? I have no problems with IE, which I use occasionally but Firefox is my favorite.
About every 10 seconds I get a message on my screen asking if I want to install Adobe Flash Player. I don't but can't find a way to get rid of this annoying message. I have Windows XP.
I am unable to install Adobe Flash Player to view videos I am unable to disable the Windows Firewall because of "group policy".How do I attach a Hijack log to this post?
When I open to read my e-mails I get a message saying Failed to install Adobe Flash player Activex Setup. What can I do to remove this message when I openmy e-mails?
i can't open my desktop folders including shortcuts..when I go to start, i can only open recenlty used programs but not my documents, my computer, control panel & all the tabs on the right field...also when I close a program, the window display still remains on the desktop.by left clicking the current program window i'm using and dragging it around, i can sort of erase the previously used windows.i can only correct this by restarting xp.do i have a virus? pls give me step by step guide to fix this.
I want open IE and see the page displayed in the "Full Screen" mode. No matter how I close IE (6.0 SP2) when I re-open it comes up in what I assume is the default "small cluttered screen" mode. I know how to get my display into "Full Screen" using the View menu drop down or by clicking on the Full Screen icon and by using the F11 key. What I need to know is how to get it to open as a "Full Screen" every time I open IE? Is there a setting I can change so I do not have to manually change into "Full Screen" each time I use IE?
Unable to install Adobe flash player. Tried going to site (uninstall, reinstall MANY times) with no luck. Read some of these other recent posts regarding, tried those suggestions, still no luck. Now the window for installing keeps popping up on its own asking me if I want to install, I click yes and nothing happens.
I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop elements to my desk top computer. I have all ready installed it on my laptop. I have all the correct permissions and numbers. When I attempt the install I get this message. "D: DJCPINST.EXE The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction cs:0dff IP:0114 OPc7b62c Choose close to terminate application" I called Adobe tech but they feel it is a deeper issue with my window system.
when i click on a link in a page or on my mail icon in windows live messenger, for example, instead of it opening up full screen it opens in a small window which i have to enlarge to full screen manually every time by clicking the maximize box. this didnt happen until i had to replace my hard drive recently.having windows xp home edition service pack 2.
This is not a very serious problem,more annoying really.When I opened a website from my favourites it always opened full screen.For about a week now sites have been appearing about quarter screen and I either have to maximise or drag the sides to full screen.When I open a new screen the same thing happens.
There seems to be a problem with the My Pictures folder located in My Documents. whenever i open it,a windows explorer popup screen says there's an error with explorer..."Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." My Pictures cannot also be used with any other application,eg.setting up Avatars or when creating a DVD title menu(as in using a background display picture). Since I use ZoneAlarm whenever i open the my pictures folder a program alert appears saying windows explorer is trying to communicate with vsmon.exe...on clicking deny the explorer error pops up. I tried copying the pictures in the folder to an empty hard drive partition but instead the hard drive partition stopped working...i.e. the same explorer error popped up,making the partition inaccessible. I then had to format the partition.
I'm running WinXP/SP2. All of a sudden, every time I try to open a JPG file all I get is a notepad with gobbledegook. What has happened, and how do I fix it? I can open any other type of photo or video with no problems.
The settings in my folder options have been changed. If i left click any file it comes up wth access denied.. However if i right click and go to open then the file will open. The problem was caused by going Tools>folder options> file types.... file folder and folder have been changed on the advanced button..also AudioCD file has been changed.
I'd like to delete My Pictures and My Music folders within My Documents. Though whenever I do, the My Pictures and My Music icons on the Start Menu will not open.
It's redundancy not to my liking to have My Pictures and My Music folders within My Documents folder, and to have My Pictures and My Music icons on the Start Menu; which lead to the same folders.
Is there a way to delete My Pictures and My Music folders within My Documents folder, while still retaining their Start Menu functionality?
At startup Windows XP always suggested to run disk check and after I let it the whole partirion(most of it) is unreadable. The files are there but they are simply unreadable. For instance, I cannot open pictures or open MP3s. Like the content of the files has been messes up
I have acquired a computer with an oem copy of xp installed I have a full version cd of xp pro recently acquired can I do a reformat and then install the full version with no complications. I dont know much about oem's.
Can I do a full install over the top of the old code without having to delete partitions and reformat and all that good stuff? What I'm confused about is the word 'upgrade' install option. Sounds nearly worthless to me, because I bought the full XP Pro SP2 package CD. I just want to overwrite the entire os without doing a format at this time. I know it's best to re-partition and format, start from nothing, but my problems are not that bad, and I think a full install will fix them, where as the upgrade install seems to not cure the problems I'm having.
Problems being it's much slower executing programs than it used to be, even the display properties applet tends to hang sometimes. These problems are intermittent, and they tend to get much worse as the day wears on. I reboot once daily, the machine runs 24/7. If I don't reboot daily, the os becomes unstable and unbelievable things start to happen. Don't you just love it when MS say's (again) that THIS version of Windows will allow you to kill off a hung application task, when in fact it can't if the application crashes just right.
