Can not view help in any adobe product

In Photoshop, Bridge & Device Central, Adobe Help Viewer 1.1 opens with message "This topic is in the Help system of another product. To view the topic, install that product. about:blank"
In Adobe Reader, Adobe Help Viewer has message "File not found. about:blank"
In all cases the product name then chosen from the "help for:" pull-down menu only displays momentarily before leaving the "help for:" field empty again.
I run win XP with SP2 & Photoshop CS3 Extended (English version).
All latest Adobe updates are installed. I updated Adobe Help Viewer to version 1.1.198 for Danish windows (as per knowledgebase} to no effect & reset preferences with control+alt+shift+ click help which didn't appear to do anything.
Opening help via C\prog files\adobe\adobe help viewer 1.1\ahv.exe results in the same message etc.
All the photoshop help files are in C\prog files\common files\adobe\help\ en.us\photoshop\10.0 & help works ok clicking on help.html
After four PS reinstalls & a week of patiently reading posts, I've found similar CS2 problems but CS3 help file layout is different & I'm not good enough to translate.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?

    I was a kid when I made a documentary for a school project. I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve the file. 4 years ago, I was able to get the files off the Iomega Zip drive (finally), but I now see the file is saved as a .A4P. There is also a file saved as a .PKG as well, but I don't know how to open this with my Windows 8 COmputer.

    .a4p is an Authorware v.4 (Windows) project.
    Interesting you have it as a .pkg...usually that's a published-on-a- Mac extension, if I recall.
    At any rate, can you put the file up on a Box, Dropbox, FTP, etc...and send me a URL?
    I should be able to published it so you can view the project (it would be an .exe).
    It can't be converted to anything though - not without manual effort.

  • I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Can not view all the thumbnails in version 9 adobe standard

    Hello,
    I recently installed adobe standard 9 running parallel with adobe standard 5.
    My end user is claiming of the view setting for patient data. She can not scroll all the way to the bottom
    as she could in adobe 5. She can see all the thumbnails minus the last row. I have changed the prefereces to show the same
    as adobe 5. However I can not get the correct settting to make it right for her.
    Any adivse or trouble shoot steps would be appreciated. Adobe said to update the product, I have done that last night.

    How do I do that?

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

  • I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them

    I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs.  when is the camera raw update coming out.  I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

    This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
    Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

    I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
    but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
    Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
    Or transfer to his account?
    Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • I have CS6 and I just got a new Leica D-LUX and can not view my RAW (.RWL) images in Bridge what do I do? I already tried updating Bridge  from the Help menu.

    I have CS6 and I just got a new Leica D-LUX and can not view my RAW (.RWL) images in Bridge what do I do? I already tried updating Bridge  from the Help menu.

    Did you use the Migration Assistant to help set up the new iMac using some of the files in the older PC? Some likely won't mean much, unless you have applications that can use or convert them. There's also a way to use the software Time Machine to import data files from an external or another computer, so you may have used that, too.
    Hopefully someone with experience in a similar issue will reply...
    Good luck & happy computing!

    This:
    if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.
    is why you can't do this:
    I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.
    It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
    What version of iPhoto?
