Error Message - Adobe has encountered an error and must close.

I keep getting this message anytime I try to print a pdf file. I am running Windows XP and have downloaded Adobe 8.1.2. The strang thing is that on another user on this same computer, the Adobe works perfectly. What do I have to do to get it to work on my user name??????

I have un-installed and re-installed Adobe Reader 8.1.2 a number of times and each time I try to open a document I am told by Microsoft that there is a problem and it needs to shut down. At that point the entire screen freezes and becomes unresponsive. At this point I am unable to read any pdf's I receive or try to print. It even told me to go to my Intnernet Explorer/Manage Add-ons and enable my add-ons, so I did and they were alread enabled?! Version 8.1.1 WAS working just fine!! SO VERY FRUSTRATING!!! Trying to print IRS documents and can't do it! ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS??? Classic case of, FIX IT UNTIL ITS BROKE!! Thanks!! Sandy

  • Error message firefox has encounted a problem and will close send don't send

    error signature code 0xc000000d flags 0x00000000
    When I go to the web I get this error message: Firefox has encountered a problem and will close send or don't send .When you click either it closes

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Itunes has encountered a problem and must close..send error report etc.

    I upgraded itunes (not even sure why since my old version was working fine) and now I keep getting the error that "itunes has encountered a problem and must close...". I did try the "msconfig" advice but that did not work. I even tried to use the CD that came with my ipod (March 2005) and the only option I get is to "uninstall" which I hesitate to do because I do not want to loose my itunes library. Does anybody have any other suggestions?? I greatly appreciate any help. I have read through some threads, but some of the "help" links that were inserted are no longer working.
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem.
    I updated to 8.1 and it closes as soon as the shuffle is plugged in.
    So I tried disabling auto-sync. No luck
    So I tried loading an older version of iTunes - says I have to have 8.1
    So I tried uninstalling and removing all itunes related files - and reinstalling. Still closing every time I plug in.

  • "iTunes has encountered a problem and must close" message opening iTunes?

    Every time I try to open iTunes or Quicktime from my desktop or anywhere else, this message comes up: "iTunes has encountered a problem and must close. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please click here to send an error report." Because of another problem on my computer, I have had to reinstall all my progams recently, including iTunes, but after installing and reinstalling a number of times yesterday, it cannot open. Other programs, like skype, are all working fine. Can someone help me figure out why my system can't open iTunes?

    You can find version 6.0.1 at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm.

  • "Internet Explorer 6.0 has encountered a problem and must close" when trying to download of Adobe Re

    I've used a long time the Adobe Reader 6.0, but lately it could not open in the browser many pdf files written with the new Acrobat applications. Then I tried to download Adobe Reader 8.1.3 from the Adobe site, understanding that Reader 9 still has some bugs, and I got really stuck...
    It seems that the root of the problem lies in an Active X add-on for IE (gp.ocx , published by Adobe Systems Incorporated).
    After releasing a lot of security limitations on the browser, I've finally got:
    "IE has encountered a problem with an add-on and needs to close".
    The following add-on was running when this problem occurred:
    File: gp.ocx
    Company Name: Adobe Systs. Inc.
    Description: Adobe DLM
    I have verified that this ActX add-on appears as Enabled in the list of IE add-ons, but I could not update it (may be it is old or rough enough to stop IE 6.0 in a XPpro sp 2 environment. An intent to disable it caused another Installation failure. A trial to update it resulted in an announcement that it is not clear where to update it, if any.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve or at least skirt this problem?
    I shall more than appreciate it very much !!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    The problem occurs during installation.
    At the first stage, short download installs the GetPlus
    DLM (Download Manager). I can see it installed in
    Settings --> Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs.
    Then it leaves a shortcut with the Adobe icon in my Desktop
    reading "Resume Adobe Downloads".
    When I press it (shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" AND ALSO TO "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NOS\nosget_start_manager_15235.html")
    the real download of the files should begin.
    It just opens the downloading applet and before downloading anything
    I am getting this "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem with the said add-on, and must close... Send notification/Do not send (you know)"

  • Just purchased and installed photoshop and everytime i try to open it it says "windows has encountered a problem and must close the program" anyone else have this problem?

    I have just purchased the photography package on my windows 8 computer and everytime I open photoshop an error message pops up saying that windows has encountered a problem and needs to close the program. I am really frustrated that this is happening after I purchased this plan and would like to be able to use the product I have purchased

    +1 to Chris' assessment.
    Keep in mind that it's your responsibility to provide a problem-free working environment on your computer for Photoshop, and system software (such as display drivers) can have problems.
    Look in your Windows Event Logs (specifically, your Application Log) for the info requested above on the specific crashes.

  • Error message: firefox.exe has encountered a problem and must close appears when clicking on certain links

    This only began recently and only on certain sites, for example, links within the New York Times site. I've updated Firefox and plugins. I also checked for nsBrowserOpt.dll file within Firefox components - not present.

    I'm asking for more information.
    Please try that in [[safe mode]] and check for the issue.

    Did it work OK before and suddenly quit?
    If so, that sounds like malware. Try scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
    If you just recently installed any other software, security update, windows update, IM update, yadda yadda, now would be a good time to mention it.

  • Exporting error: Lightroom has encountered an error and must close

    In LR 1.0 (Trial), every time I attempt to export my images, I get "Lightroom has encountered an error and must close." Details of the error point to first discburning.dll and then ntdll.dll as the culprits. I am only able to export using the "Export Presets."
    Prior to using LR 1.0 (trial), I used Beta 3, then 4.0, then 4.1. Prior to the first install of LR 1.0, I was warned by a friend to uninstall any older versions of LR. I did, the install was successful. After encountering this error, I uninstalled LR, followed by deleting the LightRoom Program Files folders, the backups, the databases, the settings, and registry entries. After reinstallation, the problem still exists.
    I've seen discussion (without definite resolution) of this issue in the beta forum, thanks to Google.
    Any ideas?

    So how do I disable nView. I've accessed the nView Desktop Manager from the Control Panel and discovered that the "nView Desktop Manager" only had the Enable button and that only 2 of the 11 tabs (Profiles was the only other active tab) were grayed out. I can only assume that nView is disabled and has been while I've been having this ptoblem. Just the same, I went so far as to uninstall the drivers altogether, reboot, launch LightRoom again. Upon trying to export, I get the same exact error. Please help. I really loved LR in Beta, expecially 4.1, but this problem really makes it difficult to work with.
