Getting started won't start

Hello, I have installed Flash and when I get the welcome screen I can choose for "Getting started" or "New Features" or any of the other nice links (including all links under "Learn") that have a nice document symbol in front of them. Problem is, Flash does not tell me what kind of document it is and my stupid Windows 7 will try to open any link with Wordpad. Can anybody tell me what "Getting started" is supposed to open? A .PDF document? A .html document? A link to Internet? Please help :-)
kind regards,
Isolde

Hi again, I have found the answer: somehow during installation something may have gone wrong and the links within Adobe refer to Internet addresses (thank you Tiago) with the extension .htm. In Windows 7 it took me a while to find out what extension is opened with what program by default and to my surprise the extension .htm was opened "by default" by Wordpad! Strange. But solved. Thanks again for the reply.

  • Addblock Pluse must be disabled/enabled each time firefox starts-won't start automatically

    Each time I start firefox I have to disable/enable the addblock plus add on. In the extensions it indicates that it is enabled, but it is inoperative until I disable and then enable it again.

    Still no help on making Add Block Plus start automatically when firefox is opened. In the add ons section it shows that it is enabled, but it is not working. By disabling and enabling the add on becomes operational.

  • 3 loud beeps when trying to start - won't start up

    apple macbook wont start up and just give 3 loud beeps - then stops and does same again  grey screen whilst trying

    Hi Niel, my problem is a little different. I had an error message to restart while checking emails.  When I tried to reboot, computer will not start and Beeps 3 times continuously.  I reset the ram but it didn't make a difference. It is a fairly old 20" early 2009 iMac that I upgraded to snow leopard a few months ago.  Is it time for a new one?

  • Acrobat X Pro (standalone) Won't Start

    I'm running Win 7 ultimate w/ 8G mem., plenty of disk space, just bought Acrobat X Pro to replace VIII Pro.
    I uninstalled VIII, installed X. Seemed to work but when I clicked on the Acrobat X icon nothing happened. I was running Avira anti-virus. It identified hosts.exe as having malware, but I found out from a search that that was a false positive. Turned off the AV, disconnected from the Web, reinstalled, restarted computer. Same no-start problem. Tried several variations of all this, including using a new download, several clean re-installs, and twice choosing "repair installation" instead of new installation. None of which helped.
    Used AdbeArCleaner_v2.exe, got "successful" message, rebooted. Acrobat wtill wont start won't start. It asppears to have installed the printer driver OK and if I click on acrodist.exe, I get a flash screen. If I right click on a PDF and then on Open With and choose Adobe Acrobat, nothing happens. Try it with Adobe Reader, the PDF opens.
    What do I need to do to get Acrobat working?
    Thanks,

    Got it at www.bestwholesalesoftware.com <Adobe Acrobat X Professional – Best Wholesale Software PC & More>. They sent me a registration code that was accepted.

  • Downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, worked fine, Turned computer on today, Mozilla Firefox, it won't start. Get error message, Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1 maxVersion =5.0.1" What do I need to do to fix it?

    We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

    The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up.  What do I do now?

    Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. It was set up and has been in use for about a year.  What do I do now?

    I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

  • 2004 eMac won't start in 10.3.9, is there a way to get 10.5 onto it from DL DVD-R?

    Hi folks.
    I'm trying to set up this ancient eMac for my mom. It had been running 10.3 or something, but I seem tyo recall it being wierd in that I couldn't get Safari (of all things) to run on it. So the other day, I put it in target disk mode and used a firewire cable and an old iBook to erase the HD and reinstall 10.3 onto it, as well as run the 10.3.9 updater.
    It won't start up. It stalls at the apple logo.
    So I figured that since it's RAM is maxed I'd put 10.5 onto it. I OWN 10.5 but I cannot for the life of me find it. My only copy of 10.5 is a DVD-R I bought on Craigslist from a guy who represented it as a genuine retail copy (I disputed the transaction through Paypal and was baffled that they decided in his favor). Anyway, this eMac cannot read DL DVDs. I have an external optical drive that can, but the eMac will not start up from it.
    I tried to install it from my macbook pro with the emac in target disk mode but the installer won't let me because it assumes the volume 10.5 is going onto is attached to an intel processor.
    I know there's some trick. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
    It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

  • Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

    Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
    That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

    First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16.

  • CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."

    CS4 won't start up on my new computer. The error message I get is "Licensing for this product has stopped working."  Both the old and new computer are MACs and the error code I get is 150:30.  It says to restart the computer or open another application in the suite, but neither helps.  It says if nothing helps to contact Adobe support, but this is the only way I'm given to contact adobe support.  Can I really not use my purchased software on my new computer?  What do I do to activate the license on the new computer?

  • Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

    iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

    Sounds like you have a damaged library7  To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos.  If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Won't start up, gets to the avi exporter on startup and crashes

    Everything was working fine, then I went and downloaded a shareware video converter to convert mov files to
    avi, now elements 8 won't start up.  It goes through the startup process, and when it gets to starting loading exporter AVI.prm it crashes everytime.  I've reloaded the program 2, and I've ran a windows upgrade (reload) once, and removed the converter program.  Any suggestions?

    The first thing that I would look into would be to create a System Restore Point for today, and then shut-down the computer. Now, boot into Safe-Mode and chose to go to a System Restore Point, from before you installed the converter, back when things ran properly and test.
    Good luck,

    Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
    * "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
    * Do a Google Search no problem
    * It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.
