Blank window when accessing PDF via IE URL

IE version 6.02 SP3
Adobe Reader 9.1.3 some machines on 9.1.2
Some folks are experiencing a blank window when they click on a PDF URL. Some of the URLs point to a virtual directory and some point directly to a file share. Some of the PDF files have a space in their name and some do not. There are no error messages appearing. Some folks have not seen this issue, others get it most of the time. Some times a refresh will work other times it won't.
Same results whether going through the proxy or to each web server directly. Fiddler shows a HTTP 401 which doesn't make sense since the files are open to everyone. Sometimes I get an IE error message saying it needs to close.
File size is not an issue. When I uncheck 'Display PDF in browser' the blank window issue goes away. But before I settle on that as the solution does anyone have any other suggestions.

I got this log from event log, anybody knows why?

Outlook2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Reader 11

Problem statement: Outlook 2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Adobe Reader 11.0.3
Environment: Windows 8 x64; Office 2013; Adobe Reader 11.0.3
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open Outlook 2013
2. Open email message with PDF attachment
3. Open PDF attachment (with Adobe Reader as default PDF viewer)
4. Close Adobe Reader
Results: Original email message with PDF attacment now sits behind the main Outlook window
Expected results: Original email message should be on top of main Outlook window as it was when opening the PDF attachment
Note: Adobe Acrobat Profession performs as expected - the original email is on top of the main Outlook window - This only seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If so, have you found a work-around?
Thanks,
Mike

From: new window opens behind existing window - how to modify?
I had this problem happening in Outlook.
If I tried to open an email, it would open behind the main Outlook window.
The same happened if I opened a link in the email - it would open behind the mail.
The fix that was suggested to me was so simple that I still don't believe it.
Right click on the task bar and unlock the taskbar, then lock it again.
Close down Outlook and re-start it.
Problem solved! Just dont know how or why.

It worked for me with Win 7 and OL 2003. Why? Who cares ... It is working.

I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Blank window when starting REminiscence

when I start reminiscence (an old dos/amiga) game, all I get is a blank (black) window...
reminisicence aur packet should download and extract all the necessary dos files (and it does) - but the game won't start. dos files are located in /usr/share/reminiscence, I even tried replacing them with another set of dos flashback files but I still get the same result...
i tried starting the game as root and as a regular user through konsole, and using alt+f2... even tried playing with permissions and ownership, but nothing helped..
hints?
maybe if someone would be kind enough to try this packet out and see what kind of a result he gets? or if someone already tried it, and could share his experience?
thank you

yes, I use KDE. tried it out without effects.. still everything is the same.
one more thing - while the reminiscence blank window is opened - one core of my cpu goes to 100%, so it's doing something..
as I read more on the internet, I suspect it might have something to do with reminiscence dependency - SDL which is: "Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games"

On Linux platform, Firefox only opens up a blank window with no place for a URL

I have an older Red Hat version of Linux which has worked fine for about seven years now. I have not done any updating since then, I must admit, since I seldomly use this platform for dowloading and searching gene databases. Now whether I call up Firefox from the taskbar or from the dropdown menu, I just get a blank window, if anything, even when I log in as Root. So I cannot access the Internet from this platform.

That version of RedHat may not support Firefox 4 or 5. You may need to go back to Firefox 3.6.x, or maybe even Firefox 2, depending upon which version of RedHat you have.

Blank window when connecting to public wireless network

I'm having trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the wireless network at my folks' nursing home. The MBP can see the private and public networks, but when I try to connect to the public network, a blank window pops up - no text or buttons. My nephew's Windows laptop connects with no problems. I'm running 10.7 (Lion). Any ideas?

A guess would be that your university uses a different encryption than your home wireless and that your driver has problems with that. If you search this bbs with your driver's name (and that encryption), you will also encounter a number of freeze problems when using newer kernels. However, those drivers and kernels move quick, so if you see an error in a post from 2 months ago, the error might have vanished already.
Second, you should find out the card you are using with
lspci -nn | grep Realtek

GMail in Safari w/FluidApp opens up blank window when clicking externally

I'm currently using FluidApp to create a stand-alone instance of GMail in Safari. This works great for quickly switching to GMail as I can just type G using Quicksilver and I'm there right away.
However, I'm noticing something annoying in that whenever I click a link in my email to an external website Safari opens up another window that I need to close in addition to wherever the website opened. So my path basically goes GMail > view external website > leave external website to return to GMail > close annoying blank window > Go back to GMail.
Any idea why this is happening?

You should check Preferences > General to see that you've enabled the "Open links from applications:" in a new tab in the current window. Then restart Safari and test to see if the problem is resolved.

My Email Inbox is blank when accessing account via internet

When I sign into my account via work computer (via internet) my inbox is blank.
Help!

Do you have a pop3 client (such as Outlook Express or Mac Mail) set up on a computer somwhere? Do you access your mail via any mobile devices?
Odds are you need to check a box somewhere for leave a copy of messages on the server. If you don't have any devices set up to pull your mail, change your password.

Lost window, using published application on server 2012, when access it via web remote.

Hi,
We use an edi software installed on a Server 2012.
When we use this software accessing the server by Remote Desktop, everything works normal.
When we use the same software accessing the server by web access, (...softname/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx) where was published this soft application, we lost some windows after different actions.
For example if I do a modification for a value in one specific window, after I click save, that window disappear but can appear again only if I click again anywhere on my desktop.
In other words that window lost the focus and probably is still open under another window. Clicking again anywhere, will reactivate it and that window appear again.
Can you please help me to find a solution to this problem?
Thank You!

Hi,

Blank box when opening pdf within a webpage

Often, but not always, but TOO often, when I try to open a pdf document within a webpage, the pdf is shown as blank white and a single blank box pops up. The only option is to hit OK, which doesn't do anything. There's no error code or message. Just a blank box. It was happening with google chrome so I went to internet explorer and it was okay, but now it does it there too. It even happens with my stamps.com account which connects to the internet but I would hardly consider it a browser. I use Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Pro. Somebody PLEASE help me! I've had this problem for weeks... but it's inconsistent - like one time out of twenty there's not a problem at all. Maybe it's a compatibility issue? Is there some kind of upgrade that will solve the problem? Any input is appreciated!

What version of Acrobat 9?
Or, which "dot version"? Adobe's Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins with dot version 9.2.
(See: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/ )
--| Version 9.3.3
--| Version 9.3.2
--| Version 9.3.1
--| Version 9.3
--| Version 9.2 <– – –
--| Version 9.1.3
--| Version 9.1.2
--| Version 9.1.1
--| Version 9.1
--| Version 9.0
(See: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
for all Acrobat Updates for Windows.)
Be well...

Blank page when opening pdf's

I recently updated to 11.0.07. Whenever I try to open a pdf file now I get a blank page. It doesn't matter if the pdf was a file already on my hard drive or sent to me in email. They all open as a gray box (with NO x in the corner). I tried repairing the installation but it didn't do anything. Please help?

I have the same problem. When I try to open a pdf file on a web page in IE7 running on Windows XP it opens a blank page. with "Done" in the bottom left alongside a Warning Icon. Clicking this reports Object expected.
Sometimes I can save the target to my desktop and view the pdf file, in other cases such action is prohibited by the host. I had no problem until recently. I have tried F5 with no affect. I have file type PDF set to open with Acrobat Reader 9.1.
I also have Acrobat Reader 4 and Nuance PDF Creator installed on my PC and after changing the file association I get the same problem with these.

How do you get a topic to open in a custom window when accessed from the index?

I right click on an index key word and open Properties. There is only one topic associated with this key word. I click on the Advanced tab, select the custom window that I created. Click OK, compile, etc.
When I try to access this topic from the index, it still opens in the default pane. When I access it from the TOC, it opens in the custom window. How can I get the topic to open in the custom window from the index?
Thanks!
Sue

Hello,
The link might not work in Preview (When the option to open link in new tab is checked) however it will work if you do a File>Preview page/site in Browser.
Muse Preview has only one tab and cannot open another tab/window which is why this functionality does not work in Muse Preview. but works in preview in Browser and in published site.
Regards,
Sachin
