Portfolios, bad links & splash screens

(using acrobat 9 pro, XP, firefox) A bad internal link (page, document or folder) within a portfolio often results in the splash screen "For the best experience update your Acrobat Reader..." or words to that effect. I need to prevent this and provide for one or all of the following alternatives when hitting a bad link:
1. redirect to another page (without a splash screen, of course);
2. do nothing.
(better yet, if it can inform me by email of the bad-link and its location along with the above alternatives)
In any case, I do not wish to show the built in splash screen either during portfolio editing or when viewed online. Entirely unacceptable. Any thoughts/methods to remove this annoyance?
(sorry if this should be posted to another forum. please inform me if there is a better place to ask this type of ?) - thank you.

It is obviously a bug. But if there is an internal bad link, the problem is with the document. Acrobat/Reader is just not handling the corrupted pdf file gracefully. The best you can do is ask Adobe to fix the problem:

I would like Firefox to show a splash screen immediately, whenever I start it or click on a link while it is not running.

Firefox loads fairly slowly, in my opinion. It's worth the wait, but I'd like to at least know that it's loading, so I don't have to sit there wondering if I should click the link again. I tried the Splash add-on a few versions back, but found that the splash screen did not appear until near the end of the loading process, which is nearly useless. What is needed is something that pops up immediately after I click a link or a shortcut. Is there any way to configure this?

Firefox should open in a few second. If it takes tens of seconds or even minutes then you may have a problem with an extension or another profile issue or security software that is monitoring Firefox too strictly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Newsfeed & About Me links return 404 and MySites root is IIS7 splash screen

I am building the SharePoint 2013 farm, and I have configured and installed both the default SharePoint site and the MySites site. For the default site I used this article: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806885.aspx and technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263094.aspx,
and I chose the Publishing Portal template. For the MySites, I used this article: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624362.aspx I have placed both applications in the same App Pool.
When I go to my SharePoint site, my name appears correctly in the drop down menu. When I browse to MySites root site I get the IIS7 splash screen, and when I click on the Newsfeed or About Me links from my SharePoint web site, I get a 404:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description:
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies)

I have built and rebuilt both sites numerous times in Central Administration, synched the users profiles with Active Directory and tried changing the Default Document property in IIS. I have also rebuilt the cache several times. I am about at my wits' end,
and need to know what else I can try. Thanks.

One thing I do get relatively frequently, but cannot find an answer for is this:

Some games to not continue after splash screen.

I've already asked it on answers.microsoft.com but didn't get any reply. So, thought I would ask here.
What I've tried:
App troubleshooter
sfc /scannow
Answers in http://superuser.com/questions/562188/windows-8-metro-apps-wont-load
also, I've tried some technet links but in vain.
I've installed two games - Sonic Dash and Despicable Me 2:Minion Rush. Both of these games to not work after splash screen and they get minimized.
I've checked the event log and found this

Apparently it has something to do with remote procedure call. When I open the other game, I get same errors as the above, the only thing which has changed being name of the app.
Graphics shouldn't be a problem since these games have ALREADY run once, but not now, and I have other heavy-graphic games like Asphalt 8 Airborne which still WORKS.
I've also tried re-installing but in vain, duh. Looking for help badly. I'd appreciate any help.

Sorry. Those two links too didn't work. I did all that was instructed in them. However I really appreciate your effort in solving my problem.
I checked the event log in the path which you asked me to and got this

Youtube bad link navigation

I have a problem wit youtube in both ipad 2 and iphone 4s runing on IOS 5.0.1 non-jailbreaked.
I sometime search for a clip and i find it, when i click to start it plays another clip.
the same occur when I get youtube link in safari,mail or imassage
any idea

I'm attaching the a simple application (splash.vi) that is being compiled and put through the app builder installer. This program will just throw up a splash screen for a few seconds, and then shut down. The picture vi's are not even being called in this application (they are cased out). However, this vi will not run on another computer after being installed with the installer files created with the application builder. It prompts for the location of the picture vi's.
It does appear that the picture toolkit is now standard - sorry 'bout the confusion.
The vi's that are failing are being dropped directly onto the block diagram (true sub-vi's).
I, too, can use the application builder to compile this file into a .exe. The splash.exe runs just fine from the development computer. It is when I use the installer files created by the app builder to install this application (setup.exe) on a different computer that I experience the bad linkage.
Thank you for taking the time.

After Effects CS5.5 - Lion: Crash on splash screen EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGABRT)

So one day, out of the blue, After Effects stops wanting to open. The worst part is, I can't think of any changes that would have caused this.
I am running After Effects CS5.5 (10.5.1) on my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011), which is running Mac OSX Lion. Here is my system profile (with some sections omitted).
Just a few weeks ago, I began to consistently receive this message during the AE splash screen:
After Effects Alert
Last log message was: <140735295236448> <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.5.1\ Defaulting to 'en_US'.
Here is a crash log.
Any ideas?
First attempt
I figured maybe I had a bad preference file, so I cleared my prefs. Nothing changed aside from a modified error message:
After Effects Alert
Last log message was: <140735295236448> <DynamicLink> <5> 0x114ee8418
And a crash log.
Also, if I try opening AE again, after I cleared my prefs and opened it once, the error message returns to the "registry key" alert.
Second, third, fourth attempt
So I uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects about 3 times. No change. I used the latest download from Adobe, and the original Master Collection image: no difference.
Fifth attempt
I created a second admin account to see if this was an isolated issue. It isn't; same problem.
Sixth attempt
I thought about QuickTime, so I opened up System Prefs, and uninstalled Perian. I left the prefpane there though.
Also, I have the latest version of Java.
Seventh attempt (Added 19 March 2012)
I used the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to wipe out my entire Adobe installation. I still have the same problem after a reinstall. I'm going to try installing AE on my external drive next. This is really frustrating. Has anyone experienced this issue and found a resolution?
Notes
Interestingly enough, all of the other Abobe CS5.5 apps I installed work fine:
Bridge
Photoshop
Illustrator
InDesign
Premiere Pro
OnLocation
Extension Manager
Added 1:54PM, 13 March 2012:
Also, opening up the render engine causes the same error message.

I just installed AE, have never used it, and am seeing it bail on startup with the same odd language registry key error. Please see my post on a related thread.
Any luck here? Would be nice to get AE to boot so I could evaluate it.

Hp Pavilion P6724IT Stuck at HP Splash screen after install of new VGA

Hello people.
I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
Sorry for my bad english!
Hope someone can help me
Cheers

Splash Screen and not beyond... Closes abruptly? PE8 WinXP SP2

Splash Screen and not beyond... Closes abruptly? PE8 WinXP Professional SP2:
I got a lot of good info from the forum today, I do not have the internet at my house, which has added to this $100+ headache so I'm gonna try some stuff tonight and check back here tommorrow.
1. I would have tried uninstalling and re-installing but it came up with some serial number message, because I can't register online from my home I don't want to get locked out of the program or something, hey, it could happen knowing all this security crap.
2. I get the splash screen like others have, but I don't get the actual program: Premiere Elements 8, it runs through all the plugins on the application startup screen and then closes w/o any explanation.
3. After trying to get things working, "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" is taking up 100+ mb ram in the background. What is this thing?
so far annoyed, but hopeful, still love my other Adobe Apps.
Feel free to address anything, I apreaciate it!! Even links to other articles, hopefully I'll figure it out tonight, I will post success / failure.
Thanks,
Robb

I want to add as much info as I can:
*Splash screen shows up, but only the video/image viewer/manager hub or whatever is able to open.
*I can open up the Premiere Elements program to the intro loading screen, once it loads the plugins it closes.
*I've tried every possible combination within the video manager hub thing to access the Video editing (Elements) software, it may show the loading screen then it closes with nothing, (the video manager remains open still).
Installed: Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 from DVD 1, I did not install templates from Disc 2 or whatever.
*"Single Processor Detected" (I think that's what it said)
*I set up Service Pack 2, because it wouldn't let me install until I did this.
*I have Windows XP Professional
*I have plenty of HardDrive space. Don't think RAM is a problem.
What I'm going to do tonight:
*Install latest Quicktime 7.something, (downloaded on 11-01-09) from Quicktime.com
*Uninstall the unnessesary driver file mentioned in another post. (or disable it by renaming it)
*Hold shift key while opening program to clear cache, I read that somewhere.
*Possibly re-install software, hopefully I could get back in with my Serial.
-I printed out Trouble shooting section from Adobe.com.
Please leave suggestions, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will benefit.

FCP will not start not even a splash screen

I updated my 15" MacBook Pro to OSX 10.6.6 and now none of my Final Cut Pro projects will launch there is not even a splash screen that pops up. When I right click the FCP icon in the dock the only option it gives is to force quit. Has anyone heard of this happening in relation to an OS update?

Okay. I finally got FCS 2 apps and the App Store to coexist, but not without considerable trial and error. There is definitely some bad blood between 10.6.6 and FCS 2 apps. I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact problem since the behavior I experienced with FCP and Compressor was very inconsistent, but I do have some solutions that might work. I don't guarantee they'll all work as they did for me, but it's worth a shot.
1) Try launching FCP and waiting as long as you can when it hangs. Several times, if I waited long enough, the splash screen would magically appear and everything would start up as normal, even after a full minute or so.
2) Delete the Final Cut Pro System ID file and re-enter your serial number after launching FCP. Make sure you have your serial number handy before you try this. The System ID file is located in ~/Library/Application Support/ProApps/. Deleting this file allowed the serial dialogue to come up, and after entering the serial, FCP launched successfully.
3) If you have the time and patience, I highly recommend a totally clean install of 10.6 Snow Leopard and using the 10.6.6 Combo Update to get up to date. I managed to get a working Final Cut Pro and Compressor using this method, even though it was a pain in the ***. Using the Migration Assistant to transfer your files over will not break FCS2 apps. As a precaution, I did not transfer over any of my System Settings with the Migration Assistant. You can find the 10.6.6 Combo update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
From my tests, I think there is some problem in 10.6.6 with how OS X displays custom dialogue boxes, such as the kind that drop down from the menu-bar or FCS's custom dialogue boxes and splash screens. I get hangs in MAS when it tries to display the Apple ID login and FCS upon launching. The behavior is inconsistent, sometimes hanging for 30 seconds, other times indefinitely, and I don't have the technical expertise to understand why. However, I've ruled out a disk error through a clean bill of health from disk utils and running the same OS config from two different hard drives.
Here's what I did:
1. Verified internal hard drive and made a SuperDuper backup of my internal hard drive to an external drive.
2. Wiped internal hard drive, installed 10.6 Snow Leopard, and installed Final Cut Studio from disks.
3. Installed the 10.6.5 combo update. Used Software Update to get all software up to date, but unchecked the 10.6.6 update.
Tested FCP: hang on startup.
4. Deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested FCP again: launched with no problem.
Tested Compressor: launched with no problem.
5. I wanted to test the System ID fix on my old setup. I booted to SuperDuper backup (10.6.6 from Software Update) and deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: hang on startup.
6. Booted to clean-install (now at 10.6.5) and applied the 10.6.6 combo update.
Tested FCP: hang on startup
7. Deleted the System ID file.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested FCP: initially hung on startup. However, after about 30 seconds, it surprisingly launched with no issues.
Tested FCP: took about 30 seconds to launch (no hang), but eventually displayed splash and launched with no issues.
Tested Compressor: same as above.
8. Migrated data from SuperDuper backup to 10.6.6 clean-install on internal drive using Migration Assistant. Excluded "Settings." I also deleted the System ID before testing.
Tested FCP: asked for serial number, then completed launch.
Tested Compressor: launched with no problems.
Tested FCP: launched with no problems.
9. I then launched the freshly installed Mac App Store. I clicked "install" for Evernote, and the app hung. However, after a moment, it displayed the Apple ID login drop-down from the menu bar. I entered my credentials and Evernote installed.
Tested FCP: initially hung on startup, then launched without a problem.
Tested FCP: launched without a problem.
Tested Compressor: launched without a problem
10. I decided to try one last little test. I deleted Evernote and launched both the Mac App Store and FCP at the same time. FCP hung on startup. I clicked "install" for Evernote again, and App Store hung. After a moment, though, FCP completed its launch AND the App Store drop-down asking me for my Apple ID appeared at the same time. This interested me, since it seemed to suggest that these were related incidents.
I have some process samples from activity monitor for when FCP hung, if someone would find them useful, but I can't read them at all. Console showed the following whenever FCP hung:

How to resolve a Lenovo PC that will not pass the Lenovo Splash screen with no access to Windows

Here is my problem and here is the solution!!!
My B540 Ideacentre would not pass the Lenovo splash screen. The only operational keys I had was F1 (BIOS) and F12 (BIOS options). F2 went to a light blue screen so no chance of even a one key recovery. Warrenty had expired four and a half months ago. I contacted Lenovo and after the guy told me to try F2 twice he said it was a HDD or other hardware failure and would cost around £200 maybe and also would take about two weeks.
AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD NOT BE ANGRY FRUSTRATED OR PANIC. REMAIN CALM AND STOP AND THINK WHAT ACTUALLY WAS HAPPENING WHEN YOU LAST USED YOUR PC.
For me I remembered Windows had auto downloaded 8.1 and was asking me to install. Also my keyboard had lost shift W T Y keys. This told me that it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and perhaps from this update. My HDD was not clicking or beeping and this PC has a 2TB Seagate Barracuda which has a good reputation. Luckly for me I also have a Seagate external expansion 2TB and a 500MB expansion which was the HDD from my old HP Touchsmart which I converted into an external hard drive by buying a HDD enclosure with cooling fan and all leads from eBay for £25 and this is where the solution is.
If you can create an expansion drive so easily and access the HDD then why cant I do it with the HDD from my Ideacentre and of course you can. So first unplug your PC or laptop. Next remove the cover and unclip the HDD (which is easy with the B540. See user instructions). Next I removed my HP HDD from the enclosure and fitted my Ideacentre HDD in its place. Next you need a laptop or another PC. Switch it on and then connect your HDD to the laptop or PC via highspeed USB cable. My laptop is running Windows 7 Ultimate and of course has all the repair tools required. When the software has loaded you may get a box that will have two options. The first will ask you if you want to repair your files and the second to scan for bad sectors and to attempt repair recovery of sectors. Tick both boxes and click start. This is a long slow process but worth the wait. Nine hours later my HDD was ready. I connected my Seagate expansion to my laptop and moved all new files that I had not backed up. So at this point you should create a folder and move all your photos music videos documents etc to it. This can take upto three hours if you have never backed up before and are moving everything. Once completed I shut everything down and replaced the HDD into my Ideacentre. Make sure do not have any external devices connected such as expansions external drives headphones etc. Connect the power and switch on. The Ideacentre booted up and there was a pause at the splash screen then it went to a black screen and then by the miracle of logical thinking I was at my lock screen. I was never so glad to see the map of my home land "Ukraine". After jumping up and down with joy I then went in and all was as normal but to be sure I went into safemode and started a complete restore. This is the option where you completely format your HDD and restore as new. It takes a long time but it is the best option because you do not want this to happen again. When this has completed and you are in Windows do not wait a moment longer by playing with your photos or creating your desktop picture. Go to create a recovery drive (use a 32GB stick) and after that also make a copy to disc. Next go to command prompt (cmd) Admin and change a setting by typing bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy. This will now enable your F8 key to boot straight into safemode just incase you need to in the future. It will slow boot time a little but better to be able to get in to Windows than not at all for the sake of a few seconds.
Well I hope this helps someone out there and I know you may think its a lot to do but it is not. Ask a friend to borrow a laptop or PC and perhaps a HDD encloser. The rest is just time but when you see your lock screen you will not care trust me.
Cлава Україні!!! Героям слава!!!

I thought this was the method I used before but I followed through it and it was a horrific fail. "Operating system not found". Can anyone help?

Steps To Achieve Victory
Download the ISO you want to use
Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities)
Convert .iso to .img using hdiutil:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/source.iso
Rename if OS X gave it a .dmg ending:
mv /path/to/target.img.dmg path/to/target.img
Type diskutil to get a list of currently connected devices
Insert USB drive you want to use
Run diskutil again to see what your USB stick gets assigned eg - /dev/disk3
Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (where N is the number assigned to your USB stick, in previous example it would be 3)
Run sudo dd if=/path/to/target.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m (if you get an error, replace bs=1m with bs=1M
Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your USB stick
The USB stick will now be ready to use

After Effects CC Crashing Immediately After Splash Screen?

Hey guys, installed cretive cloud recently with a full licence but most of the programs seem to crash straight away after the splash screen. After Effects, Premier, Photoshop and Media Encoder all seem to do this. Tried signing in, resigning in, uninstalling, using the adobe cleaner and re-install but still the same. Any ideas why this might be Thanks.
OS:     Windows 7 64bit Home Premium (all updates installed)
CPU:   Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
GPU:   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 - GeForce 337.88 Driver
RAM: 16 GB

If you don't have any pressing projects, you could try completely wiping everything off and then reinstalling.
It's just so odd...
Perhaps Mylenium might have some ideas as he's more technically-minded than I.
If you don't get any more good suggestions here, contacting Adobe Support isn't a bad idea.

Premiere Pro CC won't launch after the splash screen on my new laptop

Got a new laptop from ASUS recently. It has the Geforce GTX 860M, which I know is not offically supported yet, but I've never had problems running Premiere with unsupported cards before and I've read about other people who've made it work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling using the CC-app several times, to no success.
The problem manifests in two ways. Either the splash screen comes up and when it disappears, nothing happens. It's as if I never opened Premiere and I can try again with the same results. Either that or Premiere opens, I get a windows error message which says there has been an unexpected problem and Premiere had to close. No other explaination.
I tried updating the CUDA-drivers as suggested in another thread, and that worked ONCE, but Premiere wouldn't open again after that.
I have to make a decision on whether to keep this laptop, which in every other way is perfect and runs other Adobe-products fine (except raytracer in AE, but I can live without that until the card is supported), or keep another laptop with the 770M and which is not as powerful and "future proof".
Any good ideas out there would be much appreciated!

Does your laptop have two graphics adapters?
Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
IF YES, read below

How do i insert a splash screen or a loading screen and a application image for a phone app on Dream

How do i insert a splash screen or a loading screen and a application image for a phone app on Dreamweaver 6, 5.5 had the mobile application setting that is seemingly no longer present? and i also heard you can use animanted backgrounds on the mobile application in dreamweaver 6 but figuring out how to set the splash screen and application image like it was in 5.5 would be nice. All i can get to pull up is the web application i developed i am trying to build into a phone app on google chrome, if i could officially designate it as a phone app where i can set each splash screen and app image to where it is recognized as a phone app that would be really nice.

Duely noted, the server will still not connect, so i have left an inquery in the suggested forum.

Any ideas on how that problem can be mended if the solution is in my hands?? I haven't used PhoneGap Build recently, but I have seen several reports about problems connecting to the server. One suggestion that I've heard is that there has been unexpectedly high demand on the server since the launch of Edge Tools and Services as part of the Creative Cloud last month. As far as I know, the only thing you can do is wait, and try again later. You could also try posting in the PhoneGap Build forum: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/products/nitobi_phonegap_build.

Adobe Illustrator CC crashes on splash screen

Hi there,
I couldn't find a similar thread with similar solutions so here we go, about 2 months ago my Adobe Illustrator CC stopped opening. It will start up and show the splash screen but then stops while "Reading Fonts" (see image below)
I hadn't changed anything or downloaded anything that I know and I assumed it would start working again but alas.
I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) running Yosemite 10.10.1
Things I have tried so far to fix the problem:
Uninstalled / reinstalled AI twice.
Restarted my computer a million times.
Cleared cache folders as per other forums suggestions.
Reset system fonts and deleted all non system fonts (Through Font Book, if there's another way to solve the font issue please let me know)
Please help if you can, I'm at a complete loss.
Thanks.
Screen it gets stuck on:

Alice,
Item 1) and 11) under 5) in the following list may be relevant (I am unsure whether FontBook serves you well), and the full 6), too.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
