ICON's have Adobe Symbols

I have 12 ICON's on my Desk Top that all have the Adobe symbol on them. The correct symbols have been replaced with this condition. Not sure of cause.
When you try opening any of these Icon's you get a similiar message that reads (for ex. MS Works):
Adobe Reader could not open 'MSWorks.exe' because it either is not a supported file or because the file has been damaged.
Looking for any ideas on resolving this issue.

Please see if the solution here works: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

  • I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

    I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

  • Does Adobe have a 'fix' for the problem of desktop icons turning into Adobe icons after a previous Adobe update?

    After a previous Adobe update, all of my desktop icons turned into Adobe icons. I'm not sure how it happened - I just looked away from my computer for a second and when I looked back, there they were!
    Does Adobe have a 'fix' for this problem?  I have had to uninstall Adobe in order to use my other programs, but I teach and I use Adobe documents quite often, so now I can't open those.

    I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
    Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
    1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
    see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
    2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
    Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
    Thank you.

  • I have a symbol that has appeared on my iphone 4s top right just left off the bluetooth sign, it's an arrow on a circle with a padlock in the middle any idea where it came from and what it is

    That's the portrait orientation lock (keeps the screen from rotating to landscape mode).  To turn it off, double-tap the home button, swipe the list at the bottom to the right, then tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

  • Why can't I open up PDF's when I have Adobe Reader installed?

    Hello,
    I'm using Tiger and whenever I get to a website where I want to download a PDF or view it my computer won't let me. I get this wording that says it can't find a program to install even though I have Adobe Reader. I have Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and then I just installed Adobe Reader 9.
    Is there a way to fix this problem?

    ... whenever I get to a website where I want to download a PDF or view it my computer won't let me. I get this wording that says it can't find a program to install even though I have Adobe Reader
    Do you mean the browser won't let you download and that message appears in the browser or do you mean the message appears after you have downloaded and try to open the file?
    If the former have you tried Control-clicking the link in the browser to save the file to your HD?
    If the latter have you tried dropping the file onto the Reader (or Preview) icon?
    Can you open the Reader you have installed by double clicking its icon?

  • Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail

    Lightroom 2 crashed and now the RAW images I was processing have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
    The FAQ relating to this problem by Ian Lyons is dated - 03:39am Jun 9, 2007 Pacific refers to Lightroom and when I click on the ? no file or folder appears in red text.
    I am on a PC with XP Pro (Update pack #3)
    Any help in locating my files is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Hersul

    I've had these problems on my mac and pc.
    The ? mark appeared in the LR 2.0 Beta on some photos, and was still there in the latest Lr 2.0(bugga rather than beta). However LR found the photos and I was able to use the develop module to edit the photos.
    I am going to be really un helpful and say just ignore it and they WILL go away - to quote JL "its all fine in my system."
    The question marks have now gone. I tried the reboot, the delete plists and all the previews, I've rebooted, I compacted and relaunched the catalogs then went away for a couple of days leaving the mac on and LR running.
    into PC land.
    I frequently have missing thumbnails on my pc as well, this is usually after I have imported a chip full of photos and the pc has finished importing. Unlike my mac, the pc laptop does not tell me its finding / creating the previews.
    If I start to do other things straight after import, ie goto develop or scroll thru photos, I get the missing thumbnails and then LR2 hangs.
    It always looks good for clients when you say, hang on just gotta CTRL - ALT - DELETE and restart my expensive new program.
    I have found, as several people have commented, that being patient with lightroom does work. Allowing LR to background process the thumbnails, the previews and the like does seem to make things more smooth - ie all the ?'s gone in macland and no more blank thumbnails in pcland. Maybe Lightroom is just a sulky 4yr old that we have to feed, and wait for it to digest, then it is happy. It does seem like the database needs to process to work properly, Hey adobe, if this is the case, can we have a progress meter for this please.
    It seems that LR just needs to think about our photos... for a few days... i've only got 44,000 on my server so importing catalogs of the days work from the pc or chips does mean the "dreaded whirly umbrella of impatience" that spins when I select 3 photos or press Develop or bakc to Grid or Export or Stack or .... and it often spins for a long while.
    So the ? on thumbnails and the photos actually being found and able to be edited is just an annoyance, another annoyance, especially after spending more than the US citizens on an upgrade and there being more bugs than the beta.
    The blank thumbnails on a pc is just as frustrating, at least the database seems to be robust enough to allow CTRL- ALT - DELETE several times an hour.
    Still, i like LR, though bibble 5.0 pro looks interesting, bloody messy interface though....
    Maybe this version of lightroom is the bugga, the previous was the beta and we will get a LR2.23 which will be LR 2.23 brilliant.

    It's accessible from Command Center- swipe up from the bottom of the screen.  You should see the icon to turn Orientation Lock on or off.

    Would you provide more information about your problem so that we can troubleshoot?
    What is the version of your Adobe Reader for Android?

    Does the problem happen with ONE particular PDF attachment?  Or does it happen with any PDF attachments all the time?

  • Using an icon font in Adobe Premiere Pro

    Hello,
    i want to use an icon font (e.g. Font Awesome) with Adobe Premiere Pro. I installed the font on my PC. If i copy an icon from the character map to the title creator, it does not get displayed.
    If I do the same in Adobe Illustrator it works perfectly!
    Is there a way to use icon fonts in Adobe Premiere Pro? If not, how can i create title fastest in anothere Adobe App and import this title to Adobe Premiere Pro?
    Best regards!

    I checked both fonts and they both have got an .ttf version installed on my PC. I found out that for example the "heart icon" works fine in both fonts and is exactly the icon from the fonts character map. This might be because this icon can be created by typing "Alt" and "Num 3".
    The other icons still don't work. Might someone cross check the font (http://www.entypo.com/) with his own version of Premiere Pro? Maybe this helps.

  • Dock icon showing 'do not' symbol

    After upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.3, I noticed several dock icons with 'don't' symbol.  What is it? 

    Great choice. So basically, unless you have something vital to your workflow that is showing as no longer supported, try updating it, otherwise uninstall them. I think I only had about two old Plc programs when I updated AppleWorks being one, so really no noticeable dig fence in workflow and much prefer working in Lion.
    Good luck
