I can't open Adobe BrowserLab in Windows 7

It comes up, but the buttons on the right side only show their colors, and no words.

Yeah, that don't look right at all. Within the grey square above the goldish square there should be a goldish colored button. I have no idea what's going on, so I'm going to have to ask a bunch of questions and have you try a few things:
Have you previously been able to successfully use BrowserLab on this machine?
If so, can you think of anything that's changed since it was last working for you?
Did you follow the link to check which version of Flash Player is installed on that machine, and can you let me know what the full version number is?
What browser name and version are you using?
Can you try using a different browser and see if that works?
Can you try rebooting your machine, clearing the browser cache, and try BrowserLab again?
Thanks,
Mark

I can't open Adobe files and keep getting this message: "Adobe failed to connect to the DDE server" - anyone got a fix for this? I'm Windows 7, 64bit running Office 2010 Pro Plus - anyone got a fix for this?

Forgot to mention I'm using Firefox V.4

Hey Jorge,
I've checked Reader, and there are no updates. I've run a Windows version compatibility test - although it only goes up to Vista, and not Windows 7.
Anyway, it appears I can now open Adobe files - but I've found another issue: when I right-click on a file and scroll down to the 'send to email recipient', it doesn't automatically open an Outlook email with the file as an attachment - in fact it doesn't open Outlook at all, let alone automatically?
Any clues?

Can't open secured documents on windows 7 domain client with mandatory profiles.

While opening certain PDF files we have the problem that the user is presented with a message that he does not have the rights permissions. This happens twice, after that the users gets an empty page with the message the Adobe version might not be up to date. We use Acrobat Pro 10, but this also happens while using Reader 11.0.8. On our windows 2008 terminal services machine this could be fixed by giving the user rights on c:\ to create and remove a file. :O. On windows 7 this doesn't work probably because of UAC. But we've tried every solution to that available on the internet, disabling uac, changing uac options, changing rights on userprofile folders, changing rights on c:\ but to no avail. When using process explorer we can see it wants to create a temp file p328hkl.tmp or something like that on C but it can't and immediattely after is shows the error on screen.
Anyone who also has this problem or solved it? There are no problems with simple self made pdf files/scans but only with certain types of pdf files for which it tries to create a tmp file.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Brogers,
Thanks for your reaction. We do have AppData redirection in place. We redirect AppData to a share on our data server which works perfectly fine for all other applications. The weird thing is that Reader/Acrobat try to write to C:\ which to my knowledge should not happen, is this maybe a fallback because it can’t write to a different location? Users have full control on their own roaming AppData but not on their local AppData that is made by windows itself while copying the mandatory default profile to C:\.
I might use the wrong term while saying secured documents. I’m talking about a document created by Raet/Youforce a web application for personal administration. The documents can be opened by other viewers than Acrobat/Reader but then only contain the background and not the text. In Acrobat/Reader they do open normally when Acrobat/Reader can create the .tmp file. Otherwise it will not display the file at all. I would attach such a document to see but since it contains certain info I am not allowed to do so.
I hope we can work out a solution for this.

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?

Hard drive died. Wrote back-up image to new drive, but can't open Adobe. Help, please.

I own Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. This software can be installed on two computers.
The hard drive in one of my two computers died. Fortunately, I've been doing full-image back-ups (which include the operating system) to an external hard drive. I copied the most recent image (a few hours old) onto the new hard drive.
I can't open Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional from new hard drive. It's telling me that I already have installed it twice and that I'm requesting a third installation which isn't permitted.
How do I get a usable copy Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional on the new hard drive?
Do I perform a Windows Control Panel "Delete" on the program and re-install it from scratch?
Or, is there another procedure?
OR, am I SOL?
Thank you,
Julie

You don't mention the backup software you use, but it would SEEM that it is missing the "hidden" registration files on your hard drive
I use multiple boot drives, via drive swap hardware, making and restoring backups each time I test new software... really easy to go back to "before install" by swapping a drive or restoring a backup... described at http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
The backup software I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm - the program includes a "makedisk" routine to make a bootable CD, so the software runs on Linux, completely outside Windoze, and goes direct to the hardware controller, not through the Windoze drivers
This creates a COMPLETE image to an external USB hard drive, and the restore works with all registration information intact

Can't open Adobe Reader XI

I am unable to open Adobe Reader XI on my new PC with Windows 8. Everytime I open a file, it just hangs and says (Not Responding) and I am forced to close the file. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but the problem persists. When I open the folder, if I choose preview, the file shows up fully, but would not open the file in a proper way. It also works in Adobe Reader when I open a file on the internet that is saved in pdf format by the provider (like a company's annual report) and am able to switch to the Reader. The only time it fails to respond is when I try to open a file directly, either by doble-clicking on the file or by File-Open comman in Adobe.

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Have tried.
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Still have same open error when opened program.
2. Used Adobe Reader Cleanup tools to clean up installed file and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Still have the same open error.
3. Uninstalled and installed Adobe Reader 9. It can work normally.
Now I let the user to use Adobe Reader 9 but need to solve for him. As some pdf files are needed by newer Adobe Reader version.
Please help to fix. Many thanks.

I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe. Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK ! If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

Premier Element 8 can't open any project on Windows 7

Once again my Premier Element 8 can't open any project on Windows 7 (64-bit). This is same problem that happened to me 6 months ago. I reported it to the online Adobe support, but got no help. Eventually I worked around it on my own. Now the problem is back and I can not open any project, even after rebooting. The behavour that I see is that I can open a new or old project, but the Premier window shows-up as having zero size. The bug has something to do with the Premier program thinking that the window size should be zero. The program shows-up in the active task list, and the Alt-Tab key shows Premier window has only a window title bar (where as other active programs show-up as a thumbnail image of their window contents), and the system taskbar also shows the Premier program as active but only as a window title bar (see attached image below)
When I reported to the online Adobe support forum 6 months ago that I had worked around the problem, the answer was something like "good that you fix it", BUT Adobe did not seem to be interested in understanding and fixing the problem. They just seem relieved when customers can figure-out work-around on their own. I see that another peron just reported this same problem on the Adobe forums, and got the same treatment. He also found a work-around, and the support person replied when "that's nice". This really bites me where it hurts. I'm burning non-productive hours because of their bugs, and they don't care enough about the bugs to get engineering to fix them. It's things like this that make me look for another software vendor.
But today I really do need to work on my video project. If there is a document work-around for the "Premier show a zero-sized window" bug, PLEASE let me know about it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
-- Ole Pa

Hi Steve,
Thanks for looking at this on Saturday, and for your question. What I mean by a "zero sized window" is that Premier's window has been created and the program is running, but when I give Premier focus nothing is shown on the screen. I know the program is running because I can see it on the Windows taskbar, in the Alt-Tab list, and in the task manager's list of running programs. When I use the Windows taskbar to alternately show and hide the window, it behaves normally, except when I show it nothing shows on the screen. Also, when Premier starts up, I do see it loading the project, but when the project loads the window disappears. Premier has this annoying design of starting with its window maximized, and then automatically resizing the window to what it thinks is the size that I want. When the bug is active, the size seems to be zero, or minimized, or off the screen, or who knows what. Just not anything that I can see. The little thumbnail that Windows 7 shows of running programs on the taskbar makes be think the window has been resized so that it is zero pixels wide and zero pixels high.
In my earlier report of this bug, I described it as "minimizing to the taskbar" because that is what it appeared to doing at that time. Here is a link to my earlier report:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/704857
That thread has screen snapshots that show the visual atrifacts of the bug on Windows 7. I experienced the same bug again this morning. The workaround that I had done last year did not work this morning. Here is what I did to recover this time:
Uninstalled Premier Elements 8. Deleted my personal setting, and also "smart sound".
Rebooted my PC.
Installed Premier Element 8 from the CD.
Rebooted my PC
Things were still not quite right. In fact the bug appeared to still be there, but all of a sudden it started showing me the window after the project was loaded. Sigh. I will never launch that little startup program again (the one behind the desktop icon), and only open ".prel" files directly. Not sure if that will help or not, but at least it takes one variable out of the startup procedure.
I wish that I could tell you how to reproduce the bug, but in fact I do not know what I do to provoke it. My PC is
- Dell XPS9000 (Intel i7, 3.33GHz, 12GB ram, 4.5 TB disk)
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Two 24 inch LCD displays
- Runs several Adobe programs (like PS, LR, Acrobat).
Don't get me wrong: I love Adobe software. You are the best in the graphic arts industry. That's why I buy and run your stuff. But when I have a deadline hanging over my head, and I have to spend 1/2 day getting the software to just come up, I get crazy and want to herd feed animals for a living! Maybe I'll have to do that if the economy does not improve in 2011...
Thanks, Ole Pa

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

There are some keyboard commands (shortcuts) you can use instead of having to go to the Apple menu -
Control-Eject          This brings up the Restart-Sleep-Cancel-Shutdown window.
Command-Option-Eject          This puts the machine to sleep.
Command-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and restarts the machine.
Command-Option-Control-Eject          This closes all apps and shuts the machine down.

I can't open Lightroom 5 in Windows 7 notes Catalog Error

I can't open Lightroom 5 in Windows 7. I keep getting a window titled "Confirm" and it notes an "Unexpected error opening catalog" and "The catalog could not be opened due to an unextected error".
3 choices come up:
Try Again Choose A Different Cataog Exit
I pick Try Again and it keeps cycling back
I pick choose a different Catalog and I get another window with my last Catalog and nothing else. I get 4 options:
Choose A Different Catalog Create A New Catalog Open Quit
The last catalog is the only one that is in this Window and is thus the only one selected. I try to Open it and it cycles again. I try to choose a different one and I can select older Catalogs but nothing happens. I try to create a new Catalog and I can do so but when I create one it's as though it was never created as I can't find it anywhere. Please help!

I see that this was a while ago, and that you never received a reply....but did you figure out a solution? I'm experiencing the same thing.
