  • Henever I am in Mozilla I get a pop up saying my PC has 7 window errors and can run faster. I cannot see how to get rid of this.

    I tried to download Tetris yesterday onto my laptop - not quite what you would call an ambitious gamer!
    As it was doing so I noticed that the software was trying to alter some settings in the registry.
    Now whenever I am in Mozilla I get a pop up saying my PC has 7 window errors and can run faster. I cannot see how to get rid of this.

    Any ideas?

    Such a pop-up is likely caused by malware installed on your computer.
    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

  • Adobe Reader is causing problems in Windows 7

    Good morning all,
    I have been doing some digging on this one and have had no joy so far. We are deploying Windows 7 in our office and I have one user, and only one who is having problems.
    They had Adobe Reader X installed and they began to have problems with it after they were upgraded to WIN 7. When they went to print a PDF it started to lock their PC for 3-5 minutes after which they were able to continue with their work.
    This behavior is internmittent in that it does not happen with every PDF and typically only happens once a day. Some times  it is the first PDF of the day, sometimes in the middle of the day, but once it happens it does not happen again in the same day. Sometimes the user does not experience the problem for several days. We have been unsuccessful in determining any pattern or any particular in which this users machine is environmentally different from any other users machine.
    No other users are experiencing this problem.
    The user has a laptop and shuts it down to take home each night and starts the box fresh in the office each day.
    Lately this behavior has extended to when the user just opens a PDF. Their laptop will freeze for 3-5 minutes and then they can continue with their work.
    Based upon a very few articles we have found on the subject, we have tried a couple of things without success:
    We have tried clearing the Adobe Reader cache
    We have uninstalled Reader X and replaced it with Reader 9x
    We are hoping that someone out there who has seen something like this before and can suggest some environmental or proceedural thing that we have missed. This one is driving us crazy.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

    Worked ok on Vista, After
    installing Windows 7 (Clean & Install) Adobe Reader won't install on windows 7, goes through the process says 100% installation complete, then nothing. Any ideas.

    I havent faced this issue as such on my WIN 7 OS. Worked fine for me.
    You might be able to find the cause behind the problem by creating the error log for the installer, using the following commandline switch:
    AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe /l
    the "\l" switch will create an error log (if any) in the temp directory. (%temp% \ BootStrap.log)
    If you can share the log details, it may help in deciphering what exactly is the root cause behind your problem.

    Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Here's the example:
    WING
    GAMES
    MAJORITY
    Thanks

    If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
    That particular page should resemble the following:
    The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
    To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
    Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

  • How to get rid of Adobe Reader on my OSX 10.9.5

    I have a Mac mini, using OSX 10.9.5 and was forced to download Adobe Reader by Public Works, government of Canada, in order to print their document.  For starters this is SO wrong.
    When I completed the download, Adobe Reader wanted me to approve it replacing my Preview, which I didn't want to do, so I answered NO. 
    Now I can't get into the damnable Adobe Reader to get rid of it. 
    Can you please let me know how to get rid of ALL of Adobe Reader from the download?
    Thanks in advance for your anticipated help.

  • I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

    I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

    Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

    This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

  • I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

  • How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

    The main problem:
    I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
    Background:
    I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
    So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
    Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
    As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
    Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.
    gl,
