Free Reader 9 hangs MOST of time

Almost every time I open Reader 9 it hangs. Actually called the paid tech support line and got sme Adobe tech support. The Tech and I tried everything to get Reader 9 to work. Last time on call I was able to print 1 page from LOD files "Customer, Name..." on the Adobe website, so tech figured it was over and we hung up. Subsequently I had same problems and called tech support back today, and was willing to pay $39, but was told that "THERE IS NO TECH SUPPORT AVAILABLE FOR FREE READER YOU MUST GO TO ADOBE FORUM FOR HELP" so here I am....
MY COMPUTER IS: HP Pavillion m5680n W/ 2 Intel Core 6400 processors @2.13MHz; 2 GB RAM; OPERATING SYSTEM IS: XP Media Edition SP3 all up to date.
I Began having problems when downloaded Adobe Reader 9. Had been using an earlier version (don't remember which) and began having problems looking at Adobe pdf files so figured I'd better accept upgrade which was being suggested by Adobe when I couldn't read files. Now I can sometimes LOOK at 4 mb + pdf files but can't print from them. Other times, even paging through a document hangs Reader9. This is true whether I am online using Firefox 2.00.20 or most up-to-date IE-7 or trying to look at or print pdf files on my hard disk which had been saved in earlier versions and with which I previously had no problems reading and printing.
Anybody having similar problems? Suggestions? HELP! Need access to pdf files on HD and w/o company tech support at any price I'm now stuck!

I don't know what's wrong with your installation of Adobe Reader 9; I have a much less sophisticated computer, and AR9 works just fine.
What you could try is uninstall Reader 9, then download and install 8.1.3 from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe

  • ZTE Open hangs most of the times

    I've been using ZTE Open for months now but i have a problem. It hangs most of the times. First of all i thought it was an early build(1.0) so i installed 1.1(stable), 1.2, 1.3 and running 1.4 now but the problem is same. It hangs! and when it does i have to lock the phone and wait for sometime to unlock it or just direct remove the battery(sometimes it doesn't solve the problem but sometimes it does). I can't now know for sure that will i be able to receive my incoming call or not?
    It just freezes most of the times. Tried so many things like clearing cache installing different ROMs(1.2, 1.3) etc but same problem
    Anyone having the same problem?
    Any suggestions?

    Something was incoming to freeze the buffer then a process went in to change the setting of the network connection strength. But I do not speak log. If the issue did continue though, what I meant by steps were the exact actions you took while you were capturing the logs. These steps help when filing a bug in bugzilla.

  • Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!

    Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!
    Examples: Freezes for about 20 seconds every launch. Freezes quiting. Freezes switching tabs. Freezes clicking links.

    Note that such issues can be caused by security software that blocks Firefox and possibly isn't initialized when you get (got) this issue.
    So if it happens again then try to remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Is it possible to change the read/write permissions on a time machine back-up of iTunes? I need to restore it, but old version is locked....

    Is it possible to change the read/write permissions on a time machine back-up of iTunes? I'm needing to restore it as my phone deleted half our playlists during sync  & am not seeing a way to unlock the permissions. I have the current version unlocked, but can't seem to get the backed-up version. When I click on restore I get a pop-up that says iTunes can't be deleted as it is part of the OS. I'm not even trying to delete, just restore the old version. Any suggestions?

    Hmmm, ok I'll give it a shot. I've always had the iTunes sync w/ my phone set up to only load selected playlists to the phone b/c there's a lot more in iTunes than I have room or desire for on my phone. A few months back I started having trouble w/ trying to sync everything & subsequently adding more to the phone than it could hold. The quickest thing at the time was to unclick the sync music option in iTunes so I could still backup the phone to the computer & not have a problem.
    When I asked about it during one-to-one session shortly after, they advised me to delete the music off my phone & then re-sync it to the computer, run a backup of the phone & redownload the music to the phone. When I tried this it ended up deleting all my playlists (but not my husband's) from iTunes. Irritating, but I've been rebuilding the playlists since. I had also unclicked sync music again & an Apple person told me the most likely best fix was to delete & reload iTunes completely.
    A few days ago I realized I hadn't backed up the phone to the computer in over a month so after deleting & reinstalling iTunes, & w/o changing anything (sync music was STILL unchecked) I ran a backup & my phone went from having 4 GB free space to being 2 GB over capacity due to iTunes trying to download the entire music library to the phone. I made a one-to-one appt again & it was suggested AGAIN that I delete all the music off my phone & then resync it to the computer & redownload the music. We did this (though a few random songs that had previously been purchased somehow remained on the phone), I got home, connected the phone & instead of the music that shows  as 'on my device' disappearing from iTunes it just sat there, so, as the guy had told me I MIGHT have to do, I threw all those songs showing in iTunes as being on my phone, in the trash so that it was completely clear.
    At this point I checked sync music, made sure the options were 'selected playlists only', checked the ones from my own list that I wanted (I usually have one playlist of comedians from my husband's folder that I also have on the phone, but didn't check it at this point). It uploaded all my stuff just fine, but for whatever reason when it saw that I wasn't uploading that comedy playlist any longer, it not only didn't upload it but proceeded to delete my husband's entire folder of playlists from iTunes. -_- I got on the phone w/ an Apple support person right away but he wasn't able to tell me anything .. basically said we'll have to rebuild everything. I asked about the possibility of using time machine, he said he's not qualified to answer that, so that's when I started looking around online & found, among others, the link I referenced a couple replies ago.
    I hope this all makes sense. It's been a long-term issue so I'm trying to go from memory as I figured to begin w/ that I had just made a mistake somewhere, so didn't try to document anything. Now w/ it having happened a 2nd time, I'm not sure if it was 'user error' or something else.......

  • Why does your "Most Visited" button list mostly one-time-only web pages instead of ones I visit several times per day?

    Most Visited drop-down lists mostly one-time visit web pages, and includes unrecognizable pages. Does not show pages I visit several times during the day.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Firefox hangs nearly every time I am working in Blackboard.

    I teach on line using Blackboard. Since installing Wndows 7 Firefox hangs nearly every time I am working in Blackboard...and this is every day. Firefox doesn't hang on my home desktop using Vista 64. I have all the latest Java updates and have continually queried Blackboard for a solution with no result.

    Could you describe the new window in more detail? For example, is it an ad for something, or a login page, etc.
    Since this occurs so regularly, I think it would make sense to try browsing for an hour in Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether that makes any difference. This will temporarily disable your extensions, which are the type of add-on most likely to cause mischief.
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still work)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Why does my quicktime player verson 10.2 somtimes read avi files and other times it wont recognize them?

      Why does my quicktime player version 10.2 sometimes read AVI video and other times it will not recognize that same file. I have a video card that sometimes it will read then the next time it recognizes the card but will not open the video. Message says "quicktime does not recognize this file.
    Whats up with that ??? Any help will be most appreciated!

    AVI is a container just like MKV, WMV, MOV, and MPEG. It is possible to use many different compression formats aka. codecs in an AVI container.
    Think of the container - AVI as being an envelope, and the compressed video in it as a letter. The letter may be in a language you cannot read even though you know how to open the envelope.
    Historically QuickTime did have some built-in ability to use AVI files and some formats in those files, this used to be further improved by installing the free Perian (for Mac only). However with Mavericks Apple have removed the ability for QuickTime X aka. QuickTime Player 10 to use AVI files, it now really only accepts MPEG4 or H.264.
    It is still possible to install QuickTime 7.6.6 in Mavericks and if you use it and Perian rather than QuickTime X you can still use various AVI files.
    Note: Mavericks also now no longer shows previews or thumbnails for AVI files for the same reason.

    Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd. 
    Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart.  Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
    I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
    I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk.  I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work.  The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine.  When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open. 
    Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
    Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does. 
    Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
    All  of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
    Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
    I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
    http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!

  • Set default printer in free Reader app for Windows 8?

    Is it possible to set a default printer for the free Reader app?  We're new to Windows 8.  We set our HP as the default printer in the windows control panel, and the setting works for our other programs like word and IE, but the Reader app forces us to choose the HP printer every time we try to print a doc.  We have to click the More options and choose the printer from the list.  OneNote and the MS Document writer come up first in the list, and we don't use either of these.

    Photoshop CS4 uses an old (introduced in Win16?) printing API that limits the printer name length to 30 or 31 characters. With your printer name, that gets you halfway into "Series" and anything past that will be ignored.
    The simple solution is to rename your printer to something shorter. Go into the control panel, printers and faxes, and right-click on the printer and choose "Rename" and rename the printer. That should resolve the problem.

  • Adobe Reader XI hangs Internet Explorer!

    We support several clients and as each PC upgrades to Adobe Reader XI it breaks the IE Add-On (view in browser) capability.
    The pdf starts to download, pops up in the browser, and then in about 5-10 seconds hangs until it times out (45 minutes later).
    IE then throws up the error "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
    If the user downloads the pdf it works; if the user uses Chrome or FF it works!  Have tried disabling the "Fast View".  It just then allows me to see when it stops downloading.
    I have tried Windows XP, Win7 & Win8 and different versions of IE and they all fail!
    I am seeing this across all my clients!
    Sometimes, if I disable the Add-on it will then download and open it in Adobe Reader but sometimes (haven't figured out the exact combination but IE9 & Win 7 fails) even though it's disabled, it still opens it in the browser and hangs.
    I created a GPO that disables the Add-n but it continues to try to open it in the IE browser.
    Help!

    We've been testing this some more, and we've discovered our problem. We have a Xerox global print driver installed on our computers that runs our printer.
    If we take a file created in the Microsoft Suite, whether Word or Excel, and print to PDF through the print driver, and then upload that file to a website and provide a link in a page for people to click, the PDF throws an error in Internet Explorer, giving the error listed above, and fails to open. The PDF opens fine locally through Internet Explorer, and you can view the file through the "View" option in Gmail. You can also view that file in Firefox and Chrome with no problem. And the file downloads just fine.
    If we take the same file and use the "Save As" option in the Microsoft program to save the file as a PDF and upload that to a website, the file opens just fine in Internet Explorer, as well we everywhere else.
    The print driver is doing something in the PDF-making process that bothers Internet Explorer.

  • Few days before I brought one iphone 5 by second party and this phone make a unlock but it sometime have a cellular network most of time say no service can u solve this problem please and I put serial number it say this phone is replace can u help me for

    Few days before I brought one iphone 5 by second party and this phone make a unlock but it sometime have a cellular network most of time say no service can u solve this problem please and I put serial number it say this phone is replace can u help me for original serial number....

    If Apple's service database says that your iPhone was replaced, then Apple will no longer provide any service for that phone.
    First, get a new SIM from your cell carrier and see if that corrects the problem. If it does not, try the usual steps for addressing software problems: restart, reset, restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and, if the problem goes away, then sync back your apps and content. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, restoring to factory settings should cure it.
    If none of that helps, your device may have developed a hardware fault. Again, Apple will provide no service for it, so you will need to pay some independent repair shop to fix your iPhone.
    Regards.

    Back up your iPhone and restore from backup. If that's does not help, restore your iPhone as new (not from backup).

    Thank you for the link, but I am not sure how this is going to help me: I am not booting straight to an X session, but prefer to log into TTY1 and have my login shell handle everything from there.
    Here is the relevant part of my .zprofile:
    if (( UID )); then
    [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec systemd --user
    fi
    As far as I understand, your method works if I enable the [email protected] template when actually booting straight to X.

  • Sound Input Read VI hangs

    I'm using the SI Read VI to sample from the Soundblaster card in my Dell PC. I've configured the device for 16-bit mono input, sample rate 44.1 kHz, and the buffer size is 1024 samples. The SI Read VI is in a Timed Loop whose period I've set to 23 ms (1024 / 44.1kHz). Following each acquisition, I do some filtering, frequency analysis, and plotting inside the loop.
    The acquisition works well for the first 10 minutes or so that it is running. But sometime after about 10 or 15 minutes, the VI hangs. I've traced the hang back to the SI Read VI, but have not yet figured out how to avoid the hang or recover from it (I have to abort and restart the program).
    Has anyone had similar problems with the SI Read VI? Could there be a problem with the DLL that the SI Read VI calls? Are there any upgrades or fixes for this? Can someone suggest a way to recover from the hang?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mark

    Hi everybody,
    From the large count of how many of you guys read the above thread of messages, including myself, and who are dealing with the same problem of SI Read VI hanging found National Instrument (NI) LabVIEW (LV), I decided to share my (not so perfect) solution with you guys to save you time and frustration. Here is the story of 3 days (18 hrs/day) of my life, fighting a bug in SI Read VI (SI: Sound Input) (I am currently using LabVIEW Pro v 7.1.1):
    For the reason that "A Message cannot exceed 10,000 characters" on this Forum I included my message in the attached Word doc. Hopefully, there is no such limitation on uploaded files!
