Acrobat Reader 8.1.12 takes over Vista desktop and windows apps

Install is good, but 90% of my desktop icons become acrobat reader icons. If I double click on one of the icons - a message reads "acrobat cannot open 'pgmname'.exe not supported file format etc. etc. (pgmname is the application I'm trying to open). I un-installed 8.1.12 and everything is fine. I re-installed today and the same thing happens. I have a Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium. I believe this started after I installed XPSEP Vista 32bit. I needed this to print invoices from Quickbooks.

How can i fix this problem, can't call anyone because all they have is MORE READING!!! And NO HUMAN CONTACT!
YOU SUCK ADOBE!!!

NObody is orced to download Acrobat. Still, you did, you had your trial, and now it's finished. If you don't want to buy it, just uninstall it the normal way (but DONT) just delete it, ask if you don't know how to uninstall. Once it is gone, you might have to repair Adobe Readet. So, be angry but understand you had a choice of what to download. It would help you if you remember the full names of products, there is nothing called Adobe XI.

I get this message when I try to open .pdf files in Mozilla: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1014:1014)

What can I do to get this to work?

We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed. When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet). Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure. Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.

Hi
I have this problem with Adobe Reader 11.0.01. It displays this message "There is a Problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (1014:1014). This is in Internet explorer when attempting to open Reader links.
This is on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
Please help me find a solution for this?

Try the Acrobat and Reader Cleaner tool. Then re-install.

Hi garryw,
What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Do you get the same error when you try to print other PDF files, or is the problem specific to one PDF?
For starters, please try the solutions listed in this thread: Re: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat /Reader. If it is running ,please exit and try again.(0:104)
Let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

I keep getting that message when I try to open a PDF link from a webpage. When I open the Windows Task Manager under the Applications tab I do not see Adobe Acrobat/Reader listed at all.
How do I fix this problem?

I may as well answer my own question.
After typing "patch" and reading a few threads I found out how to fix it.

Although I have found other threads in this forum relating to this error - none of the fixes appear to work. I've not found precisely the same error number (0:521), might I need a different fix for this? Has anyone else had the same error?
Just to note, this appears to be an issue with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 while viewing pdfs 'in-browser' i.e. using the plugin. Other versions of IE on other machines and FF on the same machine work fine on the same pdfs. It also works if you right click the pdf, download and view it in Acrobat Reader 'locally'.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm stumped.

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)

Trying to open a streamed PDF in an IFRAME in Internet Explorer 9 on my Win7 64bit machine.
This results in the following dialog:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)
The PDF is streamed (not read from disc) from a servlet in our Java WebSphere environment and the call looks like this:
https://intranetserver.com/myapplication/OpenDocumentServlet.pdf?documentToOpenID=1
The Servlet sets content-type header application/pdf and content-length and writes the bytes to the buffer.
Does the error dialog even come from Acrobat? When the dialog opens there is no active AcrReader process visible in task manager.
Please advise!

Bex Analyzer Workbook Refresh - How to prevent take over of desktop

Hi there,
I believe the answer to this queston will be use bex broadcaster but I will try and see if someone has any other experience.
One of our upper mgmt directors is frustrated because when he refreshes the bex analyzer workbooks, the refresh takes over his desktop.
He will kick off the refresh and then wants to go to another task - Like checking something on AS400 screen - or going to check his email - or working in word.
The refresh of the workbook is long running and has several queries to refresh so it monopolizes his desktop.
He will go to the other screens but bex refresh keeps popping up and taking over.
I do not know any other way to have it run in the background unless bex broadcaster is used. Unfortunately, we are in the process of getting that upgraded and it is not available at this time.
Does anyone have any experience with having the excel refresh run in the background?
Thank you,
Lynda

Dreamweaver CS3 in Vista 64 and Windows 7

I am running Dreamweaver CS3 on Vista 64 and Windows 7 Pro for about 2 months now.
When I go to set up a new Site Definition and select a Local root folder, I find I have to go down an extra directory in order to get Dreamweaver to select the directory I want as root. (example: have to select the image directory).
Windows 7 is out officially now, I wonder if this problem has been fix in CS4, and how CS4 preforms on Windows 7.
I have been hodling off upgrading to CS4 for a year now, since Adobe has not make any statements about Windows 7 support. If adobe has release some statements, can someone point me to the statement?
What is the possible release schedule for CS5, I am thinking May 2010?

That's as good as anyone else's guess.
CS: Sep 2003
CS2: April 2005 (19 months)
CS3: April 2007 (24 months)
CS4: Oct 2008 (19 months)
CS5: May 2010 would be 19 months - but only Adobe knows the real date.

Adobe XI trial has stopped my use of previous version of Acrobat reader now that trial is over

Now that my Trial period is over of Adobe XI Pro, I cannot use my old Acrobat reader, nor open any of my .pdf files!!!!!!!!!!!
Need fix. Reloading Acrobat reader does not seem to fix this issue.

You’ll need to uninstall all traces of Acrobat first, then load the Reader.

On Adobe Acrobat Pro, how do I take a PDF file and convert it into an excel file?

I am not sure how to take a PDF file and change it into an excel file. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro. Thanks!

Using Acrobat XI Pro.
