Reader Attempting to Open IE and other Files on Vista

I have Vista with multiple users. In my sons section, he has changed a setting that is causing Adobe Reader to attempt to open various file types including Internet Explorer. Getting an error that the file can't be opened. NO DA!!! In all the other sections, this problem is not occurring. Currently, I must download Reader everytime I want to read a PDF file and then delete so my son doesn't have issues in his section. The Adobe Reader icon is even showing up on the Desktop replacing the other files icons.
Anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks

  • Why does my taskbar hide and doesn't come backwhenever I open firefox and other files?

    Whenever I open firefox, the taskbar hides and doesn't come even if I place my cursor there. This happens to all my files as well. What is the solution for this?

    I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
    Do you have Firefox in full window mode?

  • Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    iPhone 5 (64GB)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 (64-bit Win7)
    Just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem.  Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
    I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
    I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...
    *edit*
    A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

  • I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it. Nice.

    I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it.
    Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
    I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
    Help!

    1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    2. Reinstall
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

    Hi,
    I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
    For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
    I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
    folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
    [relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
    [absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

  • Slow to open Illustrator and Photoshop files from FileServer

    I have a client that has 5 or so Mac users who cannot open Illustrator and Photoshop files from our Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. At first, we thought it might be the size of the files over the network because some files are 2-3GB, but they are even having issues with files 200KB. We also tested network and bandwidth speeds, but they are all connected to Gigabit connections and running with PowerMacs.
    Some users have a workaround by copying the files to their desktop to open, but that is becoming tedious as well.
    Does anyone have another solution or know what might be cause to this?

    >Anyone know a way?
    You want to edit a Photoshop file, buy Photoshop. You want to edit an Illustrator file, buy Illustrator.

  • I can't make ADE the default program to open EPUB and MOBI files

    Hello, I can't seem to be able to make ADE the default program to open EPUB and MOBI files. I use Windows 7. I used to use a Firefox plug-in to view these files, and before that I used Calibre. I have been told that these are both inadequate. When I go into the Control Panel to change the default program to open these files, however, ADE is not listed as one of the possibilities (only Firefox and Calibre are), and when I search it just brings up Adobe Acrobat. Any advice? Thanks, Bill.

    I think I have answered my own question. This time I clicked on Browse for the program to set as the default, and I selected the Downloads program, and there it was. For some reason I had to re-install it several times, and it kept re-installing and re-installing. But all seems to be OK now. 

  • Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem.  Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)?  If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
    Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

  • Yosemite finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files

    Hello,
    under Yosemite  the Finder crashes with previewig .txt and other files.
    Is this just my problem? Help please.
    Thank you very much.
    Regards.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I currently have Lion, when I upgrade to Mountain Lion, all my apps, music, videos and other files will be erased?

    I currently have Lion, when I upgrade to Mountain Lion, all my apps, music, videos and other files will be erased?

    Lion dropped application support for PowerPC. An OS may drop or change what to use to open a file, not the file.
    Of course CCC is what many have used for 10 yrs now and it is or will be $20 like SuperDuper - commercial.
    Always use something like those in addition to or instead of TimeMachine.

  • Can't open doc and rtf files on my nokia e61i

    hi!I am new here,i have a problem with my e61i,I can not open doc and rtf files,if someone has a clue to tell me how can i fix the problem i'll be gratefull

    I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs.  Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once.  Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it. 
    Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine.
