Can't open Professional after opening Reader

I have both Reader and Professional on my computer, and I recently upgraded my Reader to 8.0. Since then, the two programs have not been working well together. When I open a file in Reader, I cannot open anything in Professional. I can't even open the program - clicking on the shortcut on my desktop, or trying to open it out of the program files, will just bring up Reader again. If I restart my computer, Professional will work again - but then I can't open Reader. I don't really need Reader, but now I'm hesitant to just uninstall it, because I'm not sure if it will affect Professional somehow. Can anyone help, or at least tell me what's going on?

To get Acrobat to open, you have to go to the task list and disable AcroRd32 (I think that is it). Anyway, there is a resident part of Reader that is left running once you open and close Reader. That is what is causing the problem. Once you close the resident part, you should be able to use Acrobat. You need to be careful since the resident part is often started with the machine startup, so you will have to disable it every time you start your machine.
The best process is to uninstall Reader as suggested. The problem is that you will either have to reinstall Acrobat or repair it. Uninstalling Reader will likely break Acrobat due to some shared files.

  • Can't shut down after opening Java Control Panel

    Hello,
    I'm just a regular guy with Windows ME and since I installed JRE 1.4.2_02 (for Mozilla 1.5), I can't shut down my pc after opening the Java Control Panel. Javaw.exe stays in memory (Norton System Information) even after the JCP has been closed. This was not an issue with 1.4.1 beta which I used for a long time. Then I could open the JCP applet and make adjustments (minor, just whether or not I wanted it to be able to cache applets etc.) then I would close it and nothing interfered with shutdown.
    I have even tried Enditall2 and Sysinternals Process Explorer's close and kill functions and neither can close or kill Javaw.exe.
    I have very little running in the background and never had shutdown issues until installing JRE 1.4.2_02 and it works fine other than this issue with JCP and shutdown.
    Thankyou for any advice.

    Gave up, went back to 1.4.1_05, shutdown problem solved.
    Disappointed but at least Java works okay and I can adjust things in JCP applet without having to do the three finger salute twice each time. No more Javaw in memory when I close the applet.
    Played with Java Web Start's demos, seem to work fine, I guess. Really don't understand what JWS is for, not for us non-programmers?

  • Fluid Grid Layout can´t be changed after opening .html file

    Hey Community!
    I´m working with DW CS6 for a few weeks now and I´m really happy about it!
    But now I´ve got a Problem... I used google and this forum to find a solution to it, but didn´t find anything about it. (Sorry, if i was too stupid to search for the right keywords! )
    I´ve created a new side with DW and wrote some html pages: All of them are fluid grid layouts and it worked all fine till today. Every page is seperated in an own folder including the "boilerplate.css" & the "respond.min" file, so the filetree looks like this (UPCASE = Folder):
    ROOT:
         index.html    
         boilerplate.css
         respond.min
         OFFERS:
              offers.hmtl
              boilerplate.css
              respond.min
         ALBUMS:
              albums.html
              boilerplate.css
              respond.min
    and so on...
    So today I wanted to open the .html files, to make some changes, add new fliud-grid-div-tags and add new content. The pages look still lik I left them (correct layout, old fluid-grid-div-tags still at the right position, everythings fine), but the collums of the fluid grid aren´t displayed anymore and I even can´t move the fluid-grid-div-tags anymore
    In other words:
    The collums are still there, but the fliud-grid-div-tags are no longer displayed green and editable in their position and size.
    Did I do something wrong? Or is it maybe just a special Checkbox to click in DW to edit them (like I´m now in a wrong DW-view or something like that?)?
    I hope you got a solution so I don´t have to rewrite all the pages again to be able to edit them!
    Greetings from Germany,

  • Tabs open continuously after opening a saved you tube video item. I then has to close my firefox to stop this. what is the fix?

    I saved some misc videos in My Documents. double-clicking the item opened Explorer. I don't like Explorer, so I tried opening the video with Firefox, and had to browse for the .exe file in program files. I ticked the box to use Firefox always for this type of file.
    on double-click or any other way trying to open a music video, firefox will keep opening tabs ad infinitum until I close it.

    You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
    (i) Page thumbnails (default)
    browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
    (ii) Blank tab
    browser.newtab.url = about:blank
    (iii) Built-in Firefox home page
    browser.newtab.url = about:home
    (iv) Any other page
    browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • I use Comcast, XP, Firefox, Yahoo email. When I initially click on Firefox on my Start page, it takes a very long time to open. After opening, everything runs fast.

    Not sure what details are needed.

    Go to '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates''' and upgrade to ''Firefox 4.0'' which is 6x times faster than the version you have installed.

  • How can I speed up opening documents in Adobe Reader xi?   It is extremely slow.  I have Windows 7 Professional.

    Opening documents with Adobe Reader xi on my computer is extrememly time-consuming and frustrating. Should I go back to an earlier version of Adobe? I never had this problem until I updated.  My operating system is Windows 7 Professional.

    Hi SuzyQ1,
    The opening time of a PDF depends a lot on its internal structure.
    Very complex forms are also known for long opening times.
    Try clearing the Temporary files on your Windows and it will speed up your system to some extent.
    Another thing you can do is,you would have to turn off any software that is running either in your Task Bar or shut them down in Task Manager.

    I see you are on 10.6.8.   There have been a few Mail problems of late, particularly I notice, since the last security update.
    Suggest you run the Snow Leopard combo update Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  (again) even if you have previously done it.  Won't do any harm.
    Then check software update and try again with mail.   You should be on mail 4.6. (1085)

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
    If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

  • Can't open iPhoto after fresh OSX install

    I recently re-installed my operating system (on the advice of a Guru) and now I cannot open iPhoto. I moved all my documents, applications, photos (EVERYTHING) to an external hard drive and then re-installed.
    Once installed I tried to open iPhoto and received this message:
    "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    So I then proceeded to download updates. I am running version 4.0.3. When I tried the version 5 upgrade it said there were no valid versions of iPhoto in my applications folder. Version 6 upgrade says the same.
    Any ideas on what I can do. I can't even load new photos (photos not changed in a newer version of iPhoto). I'm at my whits end.
    Anybody PLEASE help!!!!
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi, Matthew. The error message you're seeing appears whenever iPhoto 4.x detects an iPhoto Library folder anywhere within its reach that was created by iPhoto 5.x or 6.x. Is it possible that the hard drive on which you backed up all your stuff also contained a library folder created by iP 5 or 6, and you copied that folder to your main drive along with the data that had been on it previously?
    Alternatively, is it possible that someone has given you a picture CD burned with iP 5 or 6, and that that CD is in your optical drive now, or that you copied it to your main hard drive before backing up, but never tried to open iPhoto after doing so? iP (any version) creates an iP Library folder when you burn a CD, and the mere availability of such a folder to an older version of iP will trigger the error message, even if an appropriate Library folder is also available.
    Or might you have backed up your data, including your original iP Library folder, to a drive that contained a newer version of iPhoto, and opened the library in that version while it was backed up on that drive? That would have caused the library to be updated, which would make it (and any copy of it) unreadable by iP 4.x.
    Search your hard drive (the one with the newly-installed OS on it) for folders named "iPhoto Library". If you find any besides your main library, and you're confident that your main library couldn't have been updated by a newer iP version, you'll need to remove any newer-version libraries from the hard drive or disconnect (or eject) any storage medium that contains them, so iP 4 won't detect them and put up the error message.
