Missing Thumbnails in Windows XP x64

How can I get thumbnails preview of PDF files in Windows Explorer?
Operating system Windows XP x64
ps. I have firstly installed adobe reader 8.1.2, but then unistalled it and then tried versions also 7.0.9, 8.0, 8.1.1 without having thumbnail preview...

Odds are you're using a 32-bit version of Windows XP since the 64-bit version isn't officially supported by Boot Camp.
Windows XP can only see 3GB of RAM, which is why your additional 1GB "vanishes."
It has nothing to do with how the hard drive is formatted.

  • Missing thumbnails and previews Bridge CC x64. Help!

    Week ago have missing thumbnails and previews in Bridge CC x64.

    What can i do? Please help!
    Thanks!

    Thanks, station_two!

    Then copy all folder with images back and all works good!
    Very strange. But good!

  • Windows 7 x64 and PDF thumbnails problems

    I have CS5 and Acrobat 9 and under Vista x32 I could see the pdf thumbnails nicely.  Yesterday I installed Windows 7 x64 and now all I can see are the Adobe icons.  I read some other threads that describe opening up the files through acrobat and then changing to either large icon or extra large icon to fix the problem.  This works, but when I go back through windows explorer everyhting is back to just icons.  I have made sure that explorer is set to always view thumbnails and I don't have this problem with anyother file types such as Word documents or image files.  I have also tried rebuilding the installation as anthoer poster had suggested.  Has anyone found a permanent fix for this?

    Thanks for the link to the fix (by Pretentious Name . com).
    I note that over a year has passed since you posted this solution, and Adobe has still not corrected the problem.
    Problems, errors, and omissions in software are normal and acceptable - what is not acceptable is that Adobe choses to not take action to correct certain problems, especially when the user community identifies both the cause and the solution to the problem.
    The folks at Adobe shoud take a close look at this web page: http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/ - it contains a complete and well-documented description of both the cause of the problem and the solution to the problem.

    We've done a clean install of Windows 7 x64, downloaded and installed the Windows 7 x64 specific drivers/files from [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK] but still have an unknown hardware device showing in Device Manager as -

    PCI Simple Communications Controller
    Hardware ID shows as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A44&CCSUBSYS_00011179
    A quick Google appears to show that this is some sort of Intel Management Device
    Any anyone throw somemore light on this?

  • Bluetooth not working in Windows 7 x64

    Hi,
    My MBP is primarily used as a Windows 7 x64 box. Up until a couple of days ago, I've been using a bluetooth Logitech mouse and pairing with my iPhone without any problems. Two days ago, the mouse simply stopped working and I now cannot detect any Bluetooth devices from within Windows. Nor can my iPhone detect my MBP. The mouse works fine in Snow Leopard, however. Things I've tried so far include:
    * Changing the batteries on the mouse
    * Full power off, leave for a couple of hours, and back on again
    * Resetting the PRAM
    * Unpairing the mouse in Snow Leopard, then trying again in Windows
    * Uninstalling all Bootcamp drivers and services, then reinstalling Bootcamp 3.0
    * Updating to Bootcamp 3.1 and then 3.2
    * Swapping the Bluetooth radio driver from the Apple Broadcom Built-In Bluetooth to the Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
    * Removing all hidden and absent devices from within Device Manager
    * System Restore (failed, for some reason)
    * Installing the WIDCOMM / Broadcom Bluetooth driver set from an installer for an Asus laptop.
    About the only thing I haven't done is a full re-install of Windows 7, but I'm really keen to avoid that if I can...
    Oh ... this did happen before, sort of. Bluetooth mouse simply stopped working. I could discover the mouse, but Windows couldn't connect. I put it down to the mouse itself and bought another one, which worked fine. A few weeks after that, the mouse stopped working again. The Bluetooth radios section in Device Manager was missing completely. Rebooted into Snow Leopard and it seemingly couldn't find the Bluetooth hardware either. Booked an appointment with the Genius bar, drove down, turned it on ... and everything worked fine.
    Any ideas?

    Check if your bluetooth is working under mac os - I had the same problem. When it's working under mac os then it's working under w7 64, too.

  • Problems deploying Windows 7 x64 computers with more than 8GB RAM

    SCCM 2012 R2 CU1
    Windows 7 x64
    We have a weird problem after upgrading from SP1 to R2 CU1. We have built a Windows 7 64 bit image with the latest updates (currently September 2014 updates). It deploys fine to all computers. But after some days – don’t know exactly – guess after 4-7 days
    - we start getting errors on computers with more than 8 GB of RAM. The errors just start out of the blue. We didn't change TS, image or driver package.
    The error shows in 3 different ways – depending of the computer model.
    1) BSOD – STOP 0x000000F4. Disk error.
    2) Task Sequence error 0x87D00269 when installing the first Application in TS. The error seems to have something to do with Management Point not found.
    3) Task Sequence simply stops after installing CMclient. No errors - it simply stops.
    For instance we get the BSOD on the Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p. But on the ThinkCentre M83 we get the TS error 0x87D00269. M93p and M83 uses the same driver package. They consequently  fail every time after the error has begun. If we reduce (remove physically)
    the memory to max. 8GB of RAM, they successfully run the Task Sequence.  We get the above errors on both Lenovo and HP machines with more than 8GB. 
    I made a copy of the production TS and started testing. I created a new driver package for M93p/M83. It contains only the NIC drivers. Now M93p an M83 successfully finishes the TS. Adding sata or chipset or MEI/SOL drivers to the package I get the 0x87D00269
    error on both m93p and M83. At least not the BSOD on the M93p ;-)
    Tried setting  SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout to 180 in the TS. Also tried putting in a 5 minute break before installing the first Application in the TS. Also tried putting in SMSMP=mp1.mydomain in the installation properties for the CMclient. It is still
    the same problem.

    you have not previously used.
    Hopefully this is a bug in translating the errorcodes? Just to be sure I checked all the SCCM serviceaccounts and none of them have expired passwords.  And again why only on computers with more than 8GB RAM.
    Anyone else had problems rolling computers with more than 8GB og RAM?
    Why does this happens after a few days? To begin with, it runs just perfect and then starts failing on all machines with more than 8GB. Without a change in TS, image and driverpackage. We have seen this pattern for the last 3 month after
    updating our image with the latest Windows Updates. It all started after updating from SP1 to R2 CU1.
    Why does it only affect machines with more than 8GB RAM?
    How to get rid of the 0x87D00269 error?
    Seems to be somehow related to driver installation mechanism in SCCM in combination with Windows 7 64 bit, +8GB RAM and SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 or perhaps just R2.
    Any help or hints would be appreciated!
    Thanks
    Anders

    We have the same workaround, using a x64 boot image resolved all our issues with WinPE 5.0.
    Machines with >4GB of RAM
    Lenovo ThinkPad T540p failed applying drivers with 80040005
    Black screen/white cursor issues intermittently
    No updates from Microsoft, they are still looking through the logs, but we have updated our boot images and all is well now. Our case it still open with Microsoft, they are researching the logs.

  • How to show psd thumbnails in windows 8?

    My psd files are only shown as icons rather than thumbnails in windows 8 explorer.  How cane I change this please?

    You would need a third-party codec such as Ardfrey's.

  • New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before?

    New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before? You could drag and drop sections within your document the same way you could drag and drop pages in Preview's PDF documents. So how do you re-arrnage your document now?
    ALSO
    You used to be able to duplicate/copy a section/page by draging it with OPTION-LEFT-CLICK to a space below or above in the thumbnial window. The same way it works in PREVIEW in a PDF document. Did I miss something or is this also a bug?!
    These were extremely helpful to me and I hope many others. Can anyone help!?
    Thanks :-)

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Administrator account is disable when deploying windows 7 x64 captured image

    I’m using MDT 2012 update 1. I create one deployment share with two task sequence.
    The task sequences are: one for windows 7 x86 and the other one is windows 7 x64.
    Both are working fine until I try to sysprep and capture with all the windows updates.
    Sysprep and capture windows 7 x86 with all windows update work fine. I’m able to deploy the captured image without an error.
    My problem is with the windows 7 x64 captured image. I’m able to sysprep and capture the windows7 x64 with all the windows update. Once the capture is completed, I change the .win file in my windows 7 x64 task sequence to point to the new .win file (capture
    image with all the windows update). When I deploy windows 7 x64 on a pc, the OS get install but boot up to the sign on screen. The Task sequence does not complete. No error message. Cannot log in as local or domain administrator, account is disable.
    Why does it work with my windows 7 x86 image and not with my windows 7 x64 image?
    With my windows 7 x86 image the task sequence completed successfully with no error and it logon automatically in windows but not with my windows 7 x64 image.
    Both task sequences are the same.
    Let me know if any info for this please.
    thanks

    They should both work, perhaps you missed a step when creating the x64 image.
    1. Verify that the Windows 7 x64 image was created cleanly, with no errors. Sysprep ran with no errors.
    2. Verify that you created the windows 7 deployment task sequence cleanly. I would do a windiff of the TS.xml and unattend.xml file from both folders in the deployment share.
    3. Try running without a domain. Some domain's have a GP set to disable the local administrator account.

  • Itunes  11.1.4  update on Windows 7 X64

    My "automatic update" running on Windows 7 X64 for iTunes just "bombed" with errors.  The first and repeated error was a c++ related error 6304 which occurs when there is an incorrect or missing "manifest" for an attempted install.  The second was a 1114 Windows error telling me that the install failed.  After this occurred, I was unable to either use iTunes which had been working or to complete the install manually.  I'm now without control of my downloaded content, my appple TV and my own extensive library of mp3 and other files which had been registered with iTunes.  My attempts to follow posted directions to complete a "clean install" of iTunes for a Windows X64 system have only led to more problems!  Since none of my Apple hardware is any longer under hardware warranty due to its age, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.   I can't get iTunes to work so I can't maintain my iPad, or serve content to my Apple TV!  This *****!  I have older versions of iTunes installed on older Windows XP and Vista computers which do not take advantage of the X64 hardware I would prefer to use to maintain my library and run my media server for the Apple TV which I've been using to serve content to my Apple TV for years. 
    When I try to follow posted directions to remove certain directories in the Windows Program Files (X86) directories to get a clean install, I find the files locked by running programs, some of which help support the x86 browsers I run in addition to Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 for X64, so I'm not about to raslhy try to blow away all the software I ever got from Apple just to get a good reinstall of iTunes.   Can anyone gvie me suggestions.  I'm quite computer literate and a retired software applications engineer.

    I managed to take the "reinstall route" too.... Here's the lates diagnostic report from my system.  I had to unistall the 32 bit drivers which Apple leaves lying around which are booted by default in Windows 7, reboot, then do a full reinstall not by downloading the full package and attempting to run the installer via the download, something that had failed a couple of times, but by "running" the installer directly from the web.  The successful install was actually executed from a 3rd party web site, not directly from Apple, something that I am normally loath to do.  Here's what the installed package says:

    　This is the second successive release that has given me fits.  I'm of the opinion that the problem may have something to do with the need Apple feels that they must have their various "acceptances" of terms and conditions re-authorized on each successive version, or a poorly managed gradual migration of components from the 32 bit code base to the 64 bit code base that causes pathing problems when the automatic updater runs in this Microsoft "hybrid" 32 bit or 64 bit environent.  At any rate, uninstalling iTunes completely seems to have had only minimal impact on my library.   I did notice that the successful install paused and seems to have executed code which may have updated the structure of my library from that left behind after I unistalled the previous 11.1.3 version.  I wish they would do a better job of testing their automatic updating procedure for us poor 2nd class citizens.  I'm not going to scrap my newest intel based system just because their software testing folks focus first on Apple's version of the world.

  • Using USB for Bitlocker in a Bootcamp install of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on early-2011 Macbook Pro

    First of all some details on my current setup:
    Macbook Pro 15" (early 2011) with a i7 QM processor and 8 GB RAM, Superdrive and HD installed
    Mac OS X 10.7.3
    Windows 7 x64 Ultimate in a Bootcamp setup
    Existing partitions on HD are EFI, MacOS X, Bitlocker Startup, Windows
    I removed "Recovery HD" after creating DVD image contained in latest Lion installer from AppStore.
    What I got so far:
    It took some time to find a way for Windows getting a second partition to be used for Bitlocker startup files. Using existing partition layout I replaced previously existing "Recovery HD" partition for Bitlocker partition in Windows (after taking dd-based image of Recovery HD).
    Recently I tried to enable Bitlocker and continued to fail on Bitlocker System Check claiming to have no access on USB while booting. And that's my issue ...
    I read about using Windows' diskpart to have a GPT partitioned USB stick containing single NTFS partition. I tried to achieve the same with disk management in Mac OS X though it was creating a hybrid MBR/GPT setup that wasn't recognized by Windows at all. Then I tried partitioning in Mac OS X to have GPT partitioning, used Clonezilla Live CD's gdisk to apply hybrid setup another time. I even tried to do the whole partitioning in Linux using gdisk, but Windows still didn't recognize the formatted partition on USB stick then. So, the only way found is using diskpart in Windows to get a GPT-based USB-stick with a single NTFS partition.
    I put my startup key there (attributed as hidden, system file) and tried to restart several times. On every boot Windows is prompting for inserting valid startup key as it wasn't found. The partition is encrypted already and entering the printed 48 digits recovery key gets me in every time.
    If I keep the stick inserted the boot is noticeably delayed, but it's instantly continuing as soon as I unplug the stick. So there is something processing the stick ... I tried different sticks, but hope it's not related to using one special stick since they are used to support similar (equivalent) interfaces, aren't they?
    Don't tell me about using TrueCrypt or similar as I prefer to use existing software instead of adding 3rd-party software doing things the same way. And for True Crypt USB must be readable at boot as well. And previous trials with different approaches rendered all failing at some point of setup. Finally, I don't want to reinstall existing Windows as it keeps me from working even more.
    Found some post regarding trouble with Lion installations (e.g. I can't use rEFIt ... it simply didn't show up and this seems to be related to using Lion), found the KB article of Apple on preparing USB external storage for use at boot, but all troubleshooting hints didn't help.
    What the heck is wrong with this setup?
    EDIT: There is no problem to have Bootcamp starting previous Recovery HD partition now Bitlocker startup partition instead of originally prepared Bootcamp partition, which is encrypted now. This is in contradiction to other posts here. I'm sure Apple support isn't best choice to ask for support as this problem is MS specific and thus Apple won't care that much ...

    Well, I've seen lots of those threads as well and most failed to manage cooperation of Bitlocker and FileVault, have trouble to get a second partition for windows to use with bitlocker or truecrypt etc. But these issues don't apply to me anymore.
    Next there are threads instructing how to get a USB stick to work with Bitlocker claiming to have GPT instead of MBR so EFI is gaining any access on them. Those cases seem to work with MacBooks running with Windows, only, thus passing the issues mentioned in paragraph before as well.
    And there is my confusion originating from: I can remember some sites claiming to have trouble with EFI on a Mac using Lion, but all those sites are older than Lion's final release date. So I don't know if there is a similar issue today or if I'm actually missing some option ... rEFIt isn't working with Lion according to the refit site itself. Some sites claim EFI is behaving differently on whether there is a super drive or not as Lion isn't supporting USB booting as long as booting from DVD/CD is available ... what's true about those facts? Is my problem related to having a super drive? Are things getting better as soon as I'm replacing my superdrive by a second internal drive? Is it that strange or some sort of plausible behaviour?
    According to GPT, Windows 7 is obviously failing to properly detect hybrid MBR/GPT setups on USB sticks while that's what MacOS' disk manager is doing on having GPT-based single partition stick with exFat format. Instead of using the second hybridized partition it's accessing the protected part, only. If I'm converting a disk to GPT in windows everything works fine, but then without hybridized MBR ...
    Regarding the fans I'm with you ... as soon as processor load is exceeding 5% the fans get quite noisy ...

  • Windows 7 x64 bit and iTunes not recognizing iPhone 3GS

    Hello,
    I'm sorry to bring this up again and I know the community has seen it a million times but I'm definately needing someone to point me in the right direction. I have an Acer 5552 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 bit. It does not have the Intel P55 chipset as what I have read before in these discussions, so updating the BIOS will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes x64 bit, removed and reinstalled the drivers and Apple Mobile Support software (which should do it by removing iTunes as a whole) and whenever I hook my iPhone to my laptop for a second sync it takes a long time to back up and then it gives an error, then when i try to connect it again iTunes says that the iPhone cannot be recognized and needs to be restored. I have done this 3 times in the past 2 months. This is a brand new laptop that I have. There should be no reason for this to happen unless I'm missing something. Is there any workaround to this? for the time being I'm syncing everything on an old, slow desktop that has Windows XP. It's worked with my old laptop which had XP on it great but sadly I gave my old laptop to my dad which he now uses to sync his iPhone with now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated..also if anyone has the same laptop model I have and have Windows 7 x64 on it..please let me know what you did if you got your 3GS to sync all the time with no problems.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum S/PDIF input is "dead" on Windows 7 x64

    My experience with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum edition soundcard?pretty bad, after I bought a new machine with the following specs:
    OS: Windows 7 x64 ultimate
    CPU: Intel I7 920 3.7 ghz
    Memory: 6 gb
    Motherboard: ASRock X58 Extreme
    Dual NVIDIA GPUs: 2X NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 in SLI
    Sound: Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
    Everything has been updated to the newest drivers.
    The soundcard works fine in games and for general use. But I didn't buy this expensi've (back then) soundcard just for that. I want to use it for recording music on it through the optical digital input especially. Just like I did when I used it on Windows XP with no problems at all.
    First and biggest problem:
    S/PDIF as input in WaveStudio 7 (7.2.00) most often generates this message:
    "The specified audio device is already in use."
    and thus nothing is being recorded.
    Maybe it should tell me what exactly is using it, for nothing else to my knowledge is using any audio?
    Worst part is that sometimes (just on a rare occasion) it actually works. Until I reboot the system that is.
    But a system that only works after a lot of struggle and only out of maybe 25 times is useless.
    Second problem:
    "What u hear" feature is more or less unreliable and therefore useless (most often no sound at all)
    Third problem:
    The volume mixer is awful compared to the one in Windows XP (most inputs missing and not really working that well if at all)
    Driver update?
    The soundcard drivers hasn't been updated since june, I think. Maybe it was about time to start fixing all the problems? I've read people having the same type of problems with the X-Fi Platinum card. I would be willing to buy that card?if it would solve the problem, but from what I've read I dare not. I just want a card with decent digital and analogue ports and a headphone jack. All mounted on front or top.
    Help please?

    **update**
    I went and bought a new optical cable to see if the one I was using wasn't good enough and that was just a waste of 20 bucks.. Still nothing, I hope some one around here can tell me if they have the problem I do with any of your sound blaster cards.. I'm starting to think that maybe my card has just poofed on me. I don't think thats the case because everything else works fine.. I read also where the bit stream tab will show up as invalid signal with dolby/dts even though it's working correctly. I was thinking thats the case because like I said, the dolby digital logo pops up when My PS3 sends audio to my audigy card..Message Edited by NeutralGold on 09-8-200708:36 PM

  • Windows 7 x64 on T500 (ger)

    Hi,
    since yesterday I'm installing and configuring windows 7 x64 german at my Lenovo T500. After fresh install it seems to miss not soo many device drivers - so I installed the bunch of Lenovos windows 7 beta program. The following I don't get to run at the moment:
    + ATI/INTEL SWITCHING GRAPHICS (perhaps missing special win7 driver)
      - 1st I installed with switchable graphics and os detection on at BIOS, windows 7 recognized only Intel
      - 2nd I installed vista ATI switchable driver, and got swicht GPU at power manager menu
      - device manager shows aTI only for a few seconts after trying to swicht GPU
      - 3rd I decided to set BIOS to use ATI only fpr the moment
    + OSD inside hotkey package (win7 beta but freezes my system starting tponscr.exe, hard to find if you can't login)
    + FINGERPRINT
      - 1st I tried windows 7 built in, but no scan results reached the system
      - 2nd I saw an driver update using microsoft update, but nothing changes
      - 3rd I installe Lenovos windows 7 beta driver; after starting and enter password I have to wait several seconds to be able to press send; afterwards it seems there is also no communication between soft- and hardware
      - 4th I tried authen's windows 7 beta; same as windows 7 own driver
      - last I deinstalled Lenovos beta because it costs about 10s at booting (I'm using ssd and so its terrible)
    + CAMERA
      - I installed Lenovos driver for vista; at device manager there is the camera, at scanner and cameras I can't see
      - how to test camera functionality?
    + HSDPA MODEM / ACCESS CONNECTIONS
      - After installing Lenovos windows7 beta shown at devide manager ...
      - but how to connect; access connections comes without the second and third tab I used to see there
      - using GPS its possible to unlock SIM
    Perhaps somebody can give/complete some installation hints to get the one or other to work now. I only wrote about the seen problems, thinks like power manager seems to work perfectly, thinks like easy eject or presentatin director were no more useful because of built in windows functions.
    best regards

    Ronny, I felt I should at least let you know there are others out there trying the same. I have experience with both Vista x64 and Win7 x64 on my T500.
    As far as video is concerned, my findings are in line with yours. Switchable Graphics are completely non-functional, I was able to enable discrete, but performance was poor.
    On-screen Display is completely non-functional
    If you're using HSDPA forget Access Connections. It's been crap since it was first ever created and it is still crap today. I say this as a user of Thinkpads for over a decade now. On any platform it has always consistently hung on connection. Use Sony Ericcson's Wireless Manager, it works perfectly and has radio enable / disable features built right in:
    Direct Link to Wireless Manager 5 for Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard Network Adapter
    I think that's all I have for now. The rest of everything seems to be working. Oh, I also tried the graphics switching with and without the Thinkpad Power Manager installed.

  • Acrobat 8 Pro - partial printing under Windows 7 x64 - any ideas?

    Hi,
    I've recently installed Acrobat 8 Professional as part of the CS3 Master Collection on a PC running Windows 7 x64.
    Now, I'd read up about this in advance and found the dll file adobepdf.dll_64 prior to installation, but I was never asked for it. The installation ran to a successful conclusion without ever prompting me for the missing file. After installation I compared the installed file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64\AdobePDF.dll with the .dll_64 version I'd extracted and they were identical.
    Initially, everything seemed to be working fine, I was mostly using Acrobat as a reader, but I was occasionally generating small PDF files - no more than half-a-dozen pages - through applications like MS Word. This worked - and still works - fine, but I've noticed a problem now I've come to start exporting much larger files to PDF.
    If I print a long report from MS Access to the Adobe PDF "printer", then the standard "Printing..." box pops up as does a dialog box for me to enter the name of the resulting PDF file. At this point the Distiller window (with the title "Creating Adobe PDF") opens and both the printer dialog in MS Access and the Distiller window start counting through the pages as they always do.  However, without fail, usually at somewhere between around 50 and 90 pages (but it varies each time I print, even if re-printing the exact same thing) the Distiller window stops counting pages and just stalls. The application's printer dialog carries on working its way through the pages until it gets to the end of what it's supposed to be printing. Eventually the Distiller window closes and the log file opens up automatically in Notepad. Aside from the exact page number at which it stops, the contents of the file is always the same. For example:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[Page: 2]%%
    .  <snipped>
    %%[Page: 84]%%
    %%[Page: 85]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: showpage ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    The same kind of thing happens in InDesign (the only other application I could think of quickly where I had a document with a large number of pages which I could try to output) and that fails in a similar way whether I print the document to the Acrobat printer or Export it to PDF format.
    However, the problem doesn't seem to be application related, instead there seems to be a cut-off point at around 30 pages. If I print (or export) to PDF something of no more than 30 pages (or I restrict the printing of something longer so that it outputs 30 pages or fewer) then the PDF file is nearly always generated OK.  If I go up to about 50 pages, most of the time it all appears to work OK but no file is produced. And more than 50 then the Distiller window stalling thing occurs.
    I've updated all the applications in CS3 to the latest versions, so Acrobat Professional is now on version 8.2.3.
    I know there are issues running Acrobat Professional 8 under Windows 7 x64, but I've not read of this specific problem in relation to that, so I wondered if that might be a red herring and there is a solution to this.
    Thanks.

    Just for the record, in case anyone else comes looking for a solution to the same problem, the issue appears to be with my Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. By setting a check mark against most of the exclusions in the Kaspersky application control for Acrobat Distiller everything now seems to be working OK.
    Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my original posting.
