Problem opening files after installing Creative Cloud

I'm running Creative Cloud in Windows 7. Since installing CC, when I double-click on a file icon the program opens but the file doesn't. I can only open the file from the file menu within the program. Very inconvenient. Also, Acrobat now randomly displays the error message, "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server." Does anyone have a solution to these problems? Please advise.

Thanks, David. You are right,the problem does have to do with the administrative settings, and the issue involved all native files (PSD, INDD, AI, etc.), as well as JPEGs, TIFFS, and other formats accepted respective Adobe products. For anyone else faced with this issue in Windows 7, they should do the following:
For each software, you'll need to set administrator privileges in two areas. Go to Properties, select Compatability tab, and under "Privilege Level" select "Run as administrator." For the second location, also under Properties, select the Shortcut tab, then go to "Advanced" and select "Run as administrator."
Such a quick fix for a nagging headache.
Thanks again, David, for your help.

  • Problem Viewing and Opening Files from the Creative Cloud

    I am using Photoshop Touch v1.7.5 on an iPad4.
    When I try to open an existing file from the creative cloud not all of my files and folders are displayed. My list of folders appear alphabetically and stop at those starting with the letter L. Therefore I cannot open all of my files that have previously been uploaded to the cloud.
    Is this a bug or am I missing something here?
    If it's a bug, is Adobe working on it?
    When can we expect an update?

    Here is a link to a conversation I started conceening this very issue.
    Version 1.7.5 Manual Sync Failure
    I Had concerns about this problem back in November.
    It is apparently a bug. Since Adobe has no customer support for the Photoshop Touch app, those of us who primarily make use of the creative cloud and the app are paying for a service that at the moment doesn't completely work.
    It is very frustrating that customers paying for a creative clould account and using the photoshop touch app have only this forum as a source of customer support. As a result, you can't depend on receiving information from someone who is actually an Adobe employee.
    I hope that Adobe is working to fix this problem. However, we don't really know if or when that may happen because of the lack of information that is supplied.

  • Adobe CS6 Apps Shuts Down After Installing Creative Cloud.

    I can't start my Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign CS6 anymore, it just shuts down as soon as it's done loading, without any errors. Only Bridge CS6 will start.
    I tried launching with Ctrl+Alt and Ctrl+Alt+Shift but it did not work.
    Then I tried uninstalling it (With all the preferences as well), and install it again, that did nothing - still the same issue.
    I updated windows and my gfx drivers (GeForece 332.21 - NVS4200M) after the issue started.
    I tried both the 32bit and the 64bit version.
    I have manually removed the preferences file.
    I have disabled the firewall and my AV.
    I have logged out and back in of the Creative Suite Utility.
    My hosts file is not blocking any sites.
    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
    I tried to open a issue on superuser but that did not help, nobody has awnsered it yet.

    Nicoar do you receive any specific error messages?  I would recommend starting with the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html.

  • Lightroom 5.7 problem after installing Creative Cloud Photoshop 2014 Trial.

    My Lightroom was working fine earlier today. However I wanted to edit some photos from my new Fuji x100T in Photoshop. When I tried to go into my CC 5 Photoshop, it wouldn't load the photos because my Camera Raw Plug-In wasn't up to date and when I tried to update it, it wouldn't update it for CC5 past the version I already had which is 6.7. So I broke down and downloaded the Photoshop CC 2014 trial so I would have the most recent Camera Raw Plug In. After installing it, I tried to open Lightroom and got the message: "Configuration Error. Pleas uninstall and reinstall the product. If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help and mention Error 5. I have never had to uninstall a Lightroom version to be able to install an upgrade and I am concerned about losing information (presets, ratings,Maybe photos) if I do. Not sure why I am getting this message for a program which was working perfectly up to the moment I installed the CC Photoshop Trial. Help! I have work I need to do in Lightroom (and Photoshop) tonight and it is a big problem that I can't use Lightroom.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you for your reply.
    No, I am not using Windows. I’m using Yosemite 10.10.2 on a MacBook Pro.
    I ended up trashing (There was no “Uninstall" option) my old Lightroom (which was 5.7), reinstalling Lightroom 5 and then upgrading it to 5.7. Now seem to be working alright.
    I uninstalled Creative Cloud 6 and went back to using CS5, using Lightroom to render the files, since I can’t use the latest Camera Raw versions with CS5, so I could work on them in Photoshop. Not an ideal solution. I wouldn’t mind upgrading to CC6 but not if it messes up everything else.
    Quite honestly, I don’t understand why an Adobe user should have to depend on other Adobe customers for answers about Adobe problems. Adobe should have a strong customer support group to handle these problems, particularly when they are caused by Adobe. I have been an Adobe customer for at least 10 years. I like the products but the customer support needs to be improved. Apple does a better job.

    Recently, I had to run a system restore on my computer to get around a bunch of viruses. I had to install Itunes all over again and now it won't open.

    Since the release of the newest version of flash, 13.0.0.214 many Taleo users can login but cannot view documents in the Taleo system.  When they click on a document, it does not open.  The last version which worked was 13.0.0.206,  Is a fix available for this problem?

    First, ask in the forum for the program you are using
    This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs
    If you start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
    You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use
    Click the "down arrow" symbol on the right (where it says All communities) to open the drop down list and scroll
    Second, do a complete scan with a good anti-virus program to be sure your computer is clean... I use Norton, there are others

  • Installed Creative Cloud on iPad Air. Problem seeing all files

    I can see only a few of my files from my Creative Cloud on my iPad.  None of my more recent files are visible.  They're all visible from my PC, but just a few old ones on my iPad, which I just installed Creative Cloud as an appliction.  Help?

    Hi,
    Are you sure you are logged into your iPad with the the correct Adobe ID which your computer is logged in as, these need to be the same. Are you confident that your iPad is fully synced? this could take time over cellular or slower wifi.
    Have you contacted customer support about this issue?
    Thanks

  • Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

    Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

    Hello ducky,
    as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • Instal creative cloud after uninstall creative suite

    I wanted to install Creative Cloud.
    I could not download the apps, because there was an older version of Creative Suite. So first I uninstalled the old Creative Suite version.
    After unstalling, now I even can't instal Creative Cloud anymore.
    It just stops during the process.
    I think some files of the Creative Suite version are still on my PC ...
    How do I clean up everything from mij PC so its Adobefree and ready to install new items?

    You should be able to retain the Creative Suite installation.
