Error message about default email client

Whenever Reader XI loads this error message appears:
"Either there is no default email client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
I have no idea how to fix this in Outlook after several attempts. Can I fix this within Reader or at least have the message never appear even if the client issue is not fixed?

Yesterday someone posted an interesting workaround that seems to get rid of the problem: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5529300#5529300 (post 19).

Outlook 2010 64 bit Default email client

My 64 bit Outlook continually tell me that it is not the default email client when in fact it is the default email client. I went into registry and deleted a subkey for Outlook, forcing Outlook to start and ask me if Outlook was the default email client to which I answered yes. Never the less, I continually get asked the question every few minutes. The Outlook settings confirm that it is the default email client. I am using Windows 7 64 bit with IE8. IE use to have a place to indicate the default mail program but it is lacking in 8. I'm wondering it that is the cause.

Anyone have a resolution to this? Just installed the final release that came out today...
Something I've noticed since install Office Pro + 2010 x64, Logitech SetPoint crashes now... Wonder if the two are related... I see that when I re-enable SetPoint the messages returns...
Same here. I just installed the final RTM release and still have the issue. I've seen this message pop up with the PGP client and other applications that access this. I do not get this error with the 32-bit version. I was hoping this was fixed with the final
release, but apparently, it still has not been addressed!
It will never be fixed on the Office 2010 side of the equation. It is the other applications that need to be updated to recognize a 64 bit version of Office 2010. You will continue to see that error message when an app written to recognize a 32
bit version office is running on a machine with the 64 bit version of Office 2010. Annoying though it may be, it does make sense if you think about it. Those apps are looking for a 32 bit version of Office (meaning every other previous version
since it became a native 32 bit app). The 64 bit version is not installed in the same place as the 32 bit versions (past or present) and as a 64 bit app, all of its registry items are written in a different part of the system registry.
As far as other apps are concerned it, therefore, does not exist. It is a reality of moving to 64 bit applications, whether they be from Microsoft or Adobe or anyone else. Apps that are designed to work with a prior 32 bit version of
another app are what need to be updated, not the other way around....

What a load of tosh....
There should at least be an advanced option to allow 64bit version show as 32bit to older programs.
So far...

Adobe reader showing no default email client

I am using Adobe Reader X on a windows 7 64 bit machine. I am also using Office 2010 with Outlook. When I click the email icon in Adobe reader X it pops up a window saying that I have no default email client chose. Outlook is set to be the default email client but it still gives me this error.
What can I change so it uses Outlook as my email provider?

Thanks Pat. I've reported the following to adobe:

Is there a way to force href="mailto: to use the default email client

I would like to use the href="mailto:" in my website to automatically open an email but the end user gets the message "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action..."
Is there a way to force to the mailto to use the and user's default email client?
Thank you for your help

Hi James -
That is the default behavior of browsers when handling the mailto link.
Please keep in mind that nearly half of website visitors do not have an email client as they are using mobile devices or public computers or web-based email like Gmail, MSN mail etc.
Please don't feed the spambots. Best practice is to use an HTML "form" in conjunction with a server-side forms processing script. Ask your hosting provider if they provide one for you.

When I try to send a photo by email, an error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination" How do I fix this?

When I try to send a photo from iPhoto by email, and error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How do I fix this?

Try to reenter you rmail account details in the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab.
Delete the mail account entry by pressing the "-" button below the left column in the panel, then add it again by pressing "+".
Also, it is recommended, to set "Mail" as mail client in the iPhoto preferences, and not iPhoto. This has been working much more reliably lately.

TS3276 . How to set a default email client

I can't find a way to establish a default email client (I have 4) for Mail just upgraded to Mountain Lion. All help appreciated.
George

It seems that you have to set up Mail first, though!
I'm using Thunderbird and would like to make it the default mail program, but it seems that I have to go through the entire process of setting up an account. And, if I recall, sometimes mail programs will automatically download your messages-- which I wouldn't want Mail to do.
So, gurus, what's the way around this?

Cannot enable Entourage as default email client in SL

Help, this is driving me bonkers! I want to use MS Entourage as my default email client and I set it as the default program via "preferences' in Mail.app, however, every time I try to email a document via Preview it opens Mail.app. Same goes for when I try to send anything using the 'Mail PDF' option in the print dialog. I've recently been forced to move to a Mac as my PC died and I inherited my wife's old MacBook and so far her claims of 'it just works' are not sitting well with me! Please help, this is just so frustrating. Thanks.

Starting with Entourage 2008, you can set Entourage as the default in Preferences > General.
You can also use one of the freeware applications to change default applications.
I like to use IC Switch. It places an icon in the menu bar so I can easily toggle between default applications for web browsers, mail clients. ftp etc.

Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

Hi

Hello there ypda75,
I have an article here that has a list of settings to get from your Email provider so you can make sure that the settings are correct. It has troubleshooting steps to try as well. Also I would recommend restarting the router, and/or testing a differnet network.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
All the very best,
Sterling

When uninstalling an older version of reader, I get an error message about transform paths

I tried to uninstall version 8.1.2, and I get an error message to verify that the specified transform paths are valid. Some body please help. I could use the 90mb of space it's taking up.
My system is a laptop, vista 32 bit. No security update issues are involved. I am running version 10, and simply want some memory back.

Claudia, thanks for the link. It removed the old version in about 30 seconds Microsoft Fixit looks like a great repair tool. Thanx for the hook-up. Redbaron8.

If you feel you need erasing 90 MB. I would suggest getting some additional storage medium (external HD, ...). In any case, you may want to try the following: Run this fix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall Uninstall Reader using Add/Remove Programs

I've been getting an error message about Gmail detecting a slow connection...

This started happening a couple days ago. When logging in to Gmail, there's a pause and the error message about a slow connection.
It seems to have started when Firefox was updated to v32.0

Do you connect to the web directly or through a proxy (a proxy could be a filter provided by your security software, or a VPN service, etc.)? You could experiment with your connection setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default is "Use system proxy settings" which should use the settings in Windows/IE for your LAN connection. You also can try "No proxy" to see whether that helps.
And... the usual suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Thunderbird doesn't work as default email client when sharing pdf attachments. Works fine if Mail is the default client

With Tbird set as the default email client, whenever I try to email the pdf, a message pops up that the default client can't handle sending the attachment. It works all the time if the native Mac Mail software is the default client..
This forces me to save the pdf file, go to Tbird to send a message and then have to find the file in the folder structure to add as an attachment.

My PDF software is Adobe Acrobat. So what is wrong with your Thunderbird software I must ask!

Default email client install?

New Toshiba Satellite laptop, Windows 7, Comcast service provider. When I click on the mail icon on the toolbar, I get a message that "Windows Internet Explorer could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed."   Sometimes I also get this message on a webpage when I click on the "contact us" button provided there.   How can I correct this problem?

Your getting that msg since you dont have a default client email setup. I got the same issue since i only have yahoo & gmail accounts which are web based.
You can set up either one of those as your default email client.
   How can I make Yahoo! Mail my default email application
