Adobe taking over my computer

Hello, I have to have Adobe in order to apply for jobs in my area. I do not like using it, but had to update to the 9.0 so I could post my resume and other documents. The problem is that I can't open any of my word documents because the Adobe interferes and says it can't open the document. Of course it can't; I don't want it to. I want it to leave me alone. Now I'm trying to open an attachment and, sure enough, Adobe butts in and says it can't open it. I don't want it to! I want my word to be allowed to open it without going through hoops to get it. Please tell me how to get this harassment from Adobe to stop. Thank you!

I found it!
To open Microsoft Word attachments without Adobe trying to open them and can't is this:
Right Click Start, left click Explore, in the Windows Explorer menu bar, click Tools, Click Folder Options, go to the File Types tab, scroll down to the DOC extension in the extensions column, here it will be associated with the Adobe icon, select it, go down to the "Details for Doc extension" section of the dialoge box, and it explains that "You '(it wasn't me!)' have customized files with the extension DOC. To restore these files to their default type (Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document) press Restore." Press the Restore button and the icon changes from an Adobe to MS Word icon. Now the attachments open properly. Worked for me, Whew! What a nightmare!

  • Search plusnetwork seems to be taking over my computer, and I don't know how to get rid of it?

    Any ideas on how to get rid of searchplusnetwork, it is taking over my computer

    Hi j.hanc,
    Can you give us more details as to what you mean by "taking over"?
    Did it steal your home page? If so, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    Did it take over search as well? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]].
    If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].

  • QT taking over my computer

    I recently upgraded to the most recent itunes/QT release for windows. Now, QT has taken over every video file on my computer or that I download. I keep changing the files QT is supposed to handle under "preferences" and it keeps setting them back to the defaults as soon as I close QT and re-open it.
    Why is this? How do I get it to stop? Why did it start after a year of no problems with itunes? I HATE QT with a white hot passion. ANd people say apple is better than MS?

    I've had the same problem myself, and I accidently solved it when I de-installed Quicktime and re-installed it. Before it finishes installation, you can "change file and MIME types" (or something like this). And it usually sticks to what I've selected there. Don't forget to delselect the box at the bottom which says somethings like "notify, when other programmes want to change the preferences".

  • How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

    For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

    To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
    There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

  • Has anyone heard of "UTH Computers" scamming and taking over control of your computer?

    Has anyone heard of "UTH Computers" scamming and calling you and then taking over your computer?
    Sorry, I don't know where else to post this question…...

    What damage do you think they did?
    If you gave them your credit card number, call your bank and explain what happened.
    Then have them issue a new credit card number and never give it out again.
    Did you give them your login credentials?  If so, changed your password now!
    Did some kind of software get installed on your Mac (not possible unless you authorized it)?

  • ITunes on Lion taking over my MBP (90% CPU, 3+ gig ram)

    I'm having troubles with iTunes taking over my computer.  If I leave iTunes running and walk away from my computer for more than a few hours, when I come back my computer is unusable.  The mouse responds, but that's usually it.  The keyboard either doesn't do anything or is hugely delayed. I can't switch windows or interact.  I almost always have to reboot.
    I've left activity monitor running 4 times now and it's always iTunes taking it over.  Today, the CPU for iTunes was at 90% CPU and its was using about 3 gigs or ram (I have 8 total).
    Any ideas on how to fix or debug iTunes?
    Thanks
    phil

    Are all of the RAM modules the same brand from the same source? You might try removing one RAM module & see if the problem persists. Then cycle through each RAM module.

  • Babylon search engin keeps taking over my home page.I have deleted it from my computer and it just took over Google again. How can I get rid of it?

    Since I downloaded Mozilla Firefox on my new computer, Babylon search engine keeps taking over my home page. I have deleted it from my computer and have installed Google as my home page - It has just done ANOTHER hostile takeover and completely kicked Google off. Babylon doesn't even find the right things I search for. It is horrible - is it a virus and how do I get rid of it?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Why is installing 3 applications from a creative cloud packager taking over an hour?

    Dear Adobe community,
    I am trying to install 3 Creative Cloud applications, (Illustrator, photoshop, and indesign) on a Windows 7 Hpz420 workstation from a USB hard drive and it is taking over an hour to complete.  i created a package of the 3 applications using the CC packager and move the package over to a USB drive.  Then I start the installer exe it runs and completes, but the installation takes over an hour and 1/2.  My installation of Creative Suite 5.5 from a similar USB hard drive was much quicker, about 1/2 hour.
    I don't want to use a remote installer like AAMEE. Is there a different way to create a package that is more efficient? I also don't want to redown the applications everytime I need to install them on a machine and utilize my network bandwidth.
    Is this normal ?  I have rebuilt the package with the same results and have installed CC on two different machines with the same results.  I did not see anything in the forums about the installation being so slow so I am concern that I have missed something or that my results are not normal.
    Your help is appreciated.

    My "Gaming" computer (Toshiba Qosmio X-70A, w/ 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processors @2.7 Ghz, w/ 250GB SSD, 750GB high-speed 7,200 RPM primary & 1TB SSD/HD hybrid drive) was purchase specifically, by me, to learn & use the Adobe "Cloud" Apps with.  This computer is a beast. <And - yet> it takes me days, literally <DAYs> to download all the apps I am using/studying.
    I (last week) recently had my 1st "total meltdown" w/ Win 8.1-Pro (what a total P.O.S. "OS" this is!) & have faced the daunting task of re-installing ALL of the Adobe SW available over the "Creative Cloud". This will take days (w/ a direct DSL link to a Cat-6 cable; not on Wi-Fi) to "re-install" all the "Creative Cloud" software I was learning/working with. Insane. I have never seen anything like this!
    So, "DLi" - I agree! Adobe's SW (& HW) Engineers don't give a stuff about your time nor mine.
    The only things that are of importance to them are (#1 - "Keeping their jobs") ... metering out their "Creative Cloud" in a manner which allows them to investigate EVERY byte on your computer/server/device BEFORE allowing you to use it . . . (hmmm....I do wonder how many dollars per month that information is worth to the NSA / per seat)?) ... and making it "a nightmare" for the user.
    What an insult!
    What an horrific slap in the face to each & every one of Adobe's "Creative Cloud" paying customers! (Uhhhm, that'd be you and that'd be me, too).

  • Premiere 5.5 taking over Second Monitor when minimized

    I am using a second monitor as an HD Fullscreen preview for Premiere 5.5. It has this annoying habit of taking over the second monitor (whatever frame I happened to be parked on) while the program is minimized. The only way to get back cotnrol of the monitor is to maximize then send to the background again. This is very annoying when you are operating back and forth between Pr and Ae or trying to do anything else on the second monitor.
    It seems to happen when it auto saves (which I have set at 5 minutes.. Yeah, I'm paranoid). I have the "Disable video output when in background" button selected, so what gives? This is the second Premiere 5.5 set-up I've had with this issue.
    Thanks for any feedback!
    And yes, the fullscreen video preview popped up THREE times while I was composing this message.

    Then download this Intel driver and install first. Then run the Nvidia driver after restart.
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3319&DwnldID=23377&ProductF amily=Graphics&ProductLine=Laptop+graphics+drivers&ProductProduct=2nd+Generation+Intel%c2% ae+Core%e2%84%a2+Processors+with+Intel%c2%ae+HD+Graphics+3000%2f2000&DownloadType=Drivers& OSFullname=Windows+7+(64-bit)*&lang=eng
    Once you have that done open the Nvidia control panel on Restart. Select manage 3D settings. See if you see a Preferred GPU or Graphics card drop down on the right. If so select the Nvidia or performance option. I forget what is exactly said there. That is the Optimus control and will make sure the Nvidia GPU is used most often. That keeps the anomalies you are getting now when the video is switching to the Intel Adapter when you minimize Adobe. If that doesnt work then there may not be a fix for this beyond disabling the Intel adapter.

  • Why is number taking over 1 g of memory ?

    i have been motitoring my memory and I see the I work and Apeture in combination with I tune is taking over 2 G of memory and Slowing down the computer I have a macpro Mid 2010 quad core with 16 G and is slow

    Numbers seems to take up a lot of memory.  I have Mac Book Pro, 15-inch, Early 2011 with 16 GB of RAM and Numbers is using 800.5MB.  I see it as high as 1.5GB.
    Not sure anyone here can answer your question.  You can post feedback to Apple using the menu item:
    "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"
    To assess performance I launch Activity Monitor in the folder "/Applications/Utilities" and I watch RAM usage and CPU usage

  • Are there critical or security updates for Macromedia Dreamweaver since Adobe took over?

    Are there critical or security updates for Macromedia Dreamweaver Flash and Macromedia suite since Adobe took over? I can still use it but I am worried about security issues.

    I have a new computer with Windows 7 and I thought of installing my old Macromedia Dreamweaver and using it to update my web site. However I don't know if I can still use it with Windows 7 and with no critical updates I am wondering what would happen.
    Or if I reformat my old Windows XP computer  and reinstall Macromedia Dreamweaver, would it be okay, or safe, security wise? Thanks.
    What sort of security are you worried about?  DW creates plain text files and they are as safe as any other text files you create with Notepad or Wordpad.
    How old is your DW?  I personally thing#k that it is time for you to get a new version so that you can create websites based on modern standards that are compatible with modern browsers.
    Amazon should be able to sell you the product at a very competitive price.
    Good luck.
