Acrobat will not load with acrobat_sl.exe running

I'm encountering an issue when I try to open a PDF with Acrobat XI Standard. It appears that the process acrobat_sl.exe is preventing the PDF from opening. If I stop the acrobat_sl.exe process the file opens successfully.
I've tried to disable acrobat_sl.exe from msconfig and the registry, but it continues to run after a restart.
Is there another location that acrobat_sl.exe could be starting from? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue where Acrobat will not start until after acrobat_sl.exe is stopped?

This is not an exhaustive search, but enough to prove my point. Per your request, here is a random sampling of customers with issues that involve the inability to open Acrobat. Regardless of the reason, it shows how prevalent the failure is for this particular application to simply not start up properly, when compared to any other application on the market. That in itself is an issue worth delving into.
Deeper in these forum contents you will find all sorts of whacky suggestions by helpful users as they attempt to assist other frustrated users at their wits end. Many commenters make reference to this having been an issue they've struggled with for years. And many a thread is just left with no final solution.
I so wished I had bookmarked for you every site I actually visited during my months long journey to find a fix. There you get to read for hours about whether it's a licensing issue, registry edit, or a rogue file that needs to be deleted.

Pogo games will not load with firefox 3.6

1 Mar 11 firefox automatically upgraded to version 3.6.14, This version is incompatible with running pogo games. I have two machines that I needed to re-install firefox 3.5.17 in order to run pogo

I too have the same problem. I went back to an older version of firefox in order to get my pogo games to work. I would imagine that any site using the java applets will not work with firefox. There is something in the new update that causes the applet to crash or break when started in the newest full version of firefox. I hope they get this bug fixed soon, I like to keep my software as up to date as possible.

Logic Pro 9 will not load with error message MINOR PROBLEM IN DATA (3)

Logic 9 will not load for me. I am using version 9.3 and have not changed anything on my setup.
It just crashes and will not repair issue. Any help would be appreciated.

How is this drive formatted? What's on it? How are you opening Logic: by doubleclicking the app or by doubleclicking a project? What project was it supposed to open? have you tried starting Logic by doubleclicking a different project?

Double clicking application will not open it - unix exe runs fine

I've just migrated from XCode 2.1 -> 2.4.1 to build some universal binaries of my app. Everything went smoothly, however, double clicking the app icon will not invoke the program....and it bails with the messsage:
"You cannot open the application "<myappname>" because it may be damaged or incomplete."
If I go to Show Package Contents -> Contents -> MacOS -> and double click the unix exe, it opens terminal and runs fine.
Any idea of what is broken?
thanks

Stuff from the Info.plist file(s). The application name is inconsistent.

I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

Garageband 3.01 will not load with System 10.4.4,5 or 6

Hello Helpful Forum
I upgraded to system 10.4.4 (then .5 and .6) on my 17in POWERBOOK 1.67. What a mistake. Not only does Garageband 3.0 or 3.0.1 not load but the Help feature in every program crashes whenver I try to use it. The BACKUP application for my .mac account also just spins the beachball and quits. I have repaired permissions, rebooted in SAFE mode, tunrned off Log-in items: all to no avail. Any suggestions as to why this systme upgrade screws up several APPLE applications?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your suggesitons. Unfortunately none of them solved the problem so I went back to the starting line and reinstalled the original system 10.4 then upgraded to 10.3.9 and then reinstalled Garageband from iLife 06. The application opened. Unfortunately some websites on Safari do not open as usual so it is another round of troubleshooting. Tiger has bitten me once too often. sigh

Hi Paul,
i would suggest using single user mode.
Restart your computer. When the screen goes black,
hold down the "apple" key and the "S" key until you
get a black screen with white letters. When the
prompt shows up, type this exactly:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Notice the space before the -fy.
If this doesn't work, you should boot from your
system install CD/DVD or most recent OS install
CD/DVD and run Disk Utility to repair the disk and
repair the permissions.
Good luck and let us know how it works.

Fash Images will not load with Firefox

Currently Flash images will not auto load with Firefox on my mac 10.4. All flash images show with an arrow I must click to make them appear every time I visit a page.
I do have the most updated version of Flash (10.2.152.33). I have checked their site for all troubleshooting possibilities as well as the FF forum & nothing has made these images auto load. I do have load Images automatically in my Preferences: Content. This is only happening with Firefox & not all browsers.
I do remember having to add some Security: Install Add-On Exceptions a few updates back in FF back when I had this problem. Adding them fixed the problem, however the next update made the issue reoccur. I've looked for additional exceptions & possibilities to include & found nothing. My current list of add on exceptions include: addons.mozilla.org, getpersonas.com, & update.mozilla.org. Removing these does not fix the problem & re-entering them does not fix the problem. All flash images still show as arrows that must be clicked to load to view for my Firefox browser only. This does not occur in any other browser.

alright. I've found that Firefox has a Flashblock setting & I have found a way to disable it if I customize & add an icon to my toolbar however I would like to learn how to change that setting without having to add that icon. Where in the settings does it allow me to change/adjust the flashblock?

Time to time firefox will not load, says it is running but cant close and reopen

Every once in a while Firefox will not run, it says something about a file in the profile directory and that it is running and to close the current session or restart. I run task manager but it isn't running. It seems to fix when I clean my computer, I haven't noticed a pattern to this it's just from time to time.

Please see this article: [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

Adobe photoshop elements 8 and premier elements 8 will not load with security numbers.

purchase HP computer in 2011. hard drive crashed. replaced for free by HP.
but software never reloaded on computer.
computer now works and I cannot load adobe software that was never used.
Office did load with help of computer geek today.

Go into the program files (program files(x86) for a 64-bit system), find the Elements 8 folder and within that Plug-ins>ImportModules and delete the Adobe TWAIN plugin. (You may have trouble scanning directly into the editor after doing this)

Specific Content Will Not Load With Any Browser

This is something I have never run into and can't solve...
I have a D-Link DPR-1260 wireless multi-function print server. My machines are a MacBook Pro with 10.5.1, an iBook G4 with 10.5, a Mac Mini with 10.4.11, and a Mac Mini with 10.4.10.
Connecting to the printer via LPD is a non-issue and works fine with all the machines.
The strange problem occurs when accessing the web based services of the DPR-1260. Scanning, even using Windows, is not supported by the MFP software (Epson) but is done via the browser. Also network settings, etc.
The good (normal): Using a machine running 10.4.11 or 10.4.10 all the web content loads and works fine using any Safari, FireFox, Camino, or Opera. Even using the beloved IE 5.2.3 everything works but the Scan page. Ditto for Win XP SP2 using IE 7 or FireFox and running under Parallels or booting directly in on the MBP.
The bad (weird): On either the MBP running 10.5.1 or iBook running 10.5 only the "simple" pages will load using ANY browser. I don't normally do all caps for emphasis, but I have never seen an issue like this. I cannot access the Scan, Advanced (settings), or Setup (more settings) pages. Even the simple login page only works on occasion.
This certainly appears to be related to OS X 10.5 but I cannot figure out how.
For reference, I have tried every conceivable combination of browser, wired vs. wireless connection to the unit, disabled firewall, disabled LittleSnitch, watched traffic using tcpdump, and looked for odd ports on the print server using nmap.
Given that them problem occurs using WebKit browsers and browsers not using WebKit, and that it works properly using 10.4.* with any browser, I assuming this is some sort of system level problem.
I can provide even more details, but this post is getting too long. If you think you can help and have any questions please ask.
Please, any help is much appreciated!

Yes.
As I see it, it's clearly not a JS implementation issue as not all these browsers handle JavaScript identically (although as a web developer I wish they did). Obviously Safari and Shiira, the two WebKit based browsers, handle it the same, Opera, FireFox, Camino, iCab, and IE 5.2.3 have different implementations.

Bridge is not tied to any restrictions in terms of activation or requiring specific components to be in place, hence it almost always works. Do you correctly run the install with administrative privileges?

My excite email will not load with last upgrades of firefox & microsoft

the feald that said my kaspersky fire wall was incompatable with new curant version of firefox was pushed by accedent now email only loads to 67 % then locks up [email protected] is my email page ido not how to do thease type of things

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
3. If needed, remove your live.com cookies in this dialog (save any work-in-progress first)
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Facebook will not load with firefox (works with IE)

I downloaded the new update for firefox (3.6.7) today and it prompted me to update Adobe as well, but directly after the update Facebook started troubleshooting. I can get on Facebook just fine with IE, so I know it's not a problem with Facebook itself. With Firefox I can get to the main login page, but only once I delete the cookies, and once I log in I can only stay in my homepage. The only thing that actually seems to work is facebook chat, every other link, whether it's someone else's page, my own profile, or some pictures, just sends me to a blank page. The load bar at the bottom loads and the bottom left reads "Done", but the page remains blank. Once this happens I have to quit Firefox and delete the cookies in order to get on facebook again. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox (both with 3.6 and 3.5) but I have the same problems. I read that the problem could possibly have something to do with ABP or Adobe but neither of the solutions listed in those websites worked. I tried starting Firefox on safe mode, but the same problems occurred.

Yosemite will not load on Mac Pro running OS X v10.7 Lion

Started download from App store and would not install. Have tried many times but no success. Has anyone else had the same issue.

Hello Wayne.
I had the same problem with my MAC-mini Mid-2011.
I did download YOSEMITE three times.
I always had the same failure at my screen.
But now the fourth time the download went through completely.
My Timestamp now is Saturday, 12:00 o' clock AM Germany-time.
Because i don't know where you are living, i think when i tell you the time at CUPERTINO. They have Friday, 3:00 o'clock PM.
Please try the download again. I hope you will be successfully too.
Best regards,
Andrew (computerschmied)
