Reader stopped working

I can't open documents on websites. When I click on the link, it takes me to a plain white screen with a small purple square in the upper left corner. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with no results.

That sounds like you are using a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

Trying to open pdf and Adobe Reader Stops Working...Please Help

Trying to open PDF and it keeps popping up that Adobe Reader Stopped Working. And doesn't seem to find a solution to fix. Has been going on for a couple days. Can't access pdf files needed for my business.

With Reader XI I assume you mean 11.0.0; try updating to 11.0.06.
Also, can you open Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

Satellite A205-SP5818
I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
Thanks.

Hi
Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
Then reboot the unit.
After that windows will ask you for an driver.
You can download this driver:
[SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
This should helps to get the SD card reader working again

Card reader stopped working

My card reader (sd,ms,xd) quit working. It worked for two years with no problems and today it quit. I have an HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y desktop and Windows 7. When an SD card is plugged in, nothing. Autoplay is on and I am able to transfer pics manually from the card to the PC. Also, simultaneously, when I try and attach a pic to an email (gmail) only 5 library folders are displayed out of the 50+ folders in my My Pictures library. This seemed to happen about the same time as Google wanted me to use Drive; could there be a Google gremlin at work here? I'm not much of a computer guy so I need simple answers, please.

Hello larrydayton,
Your card reader stopped working correctly.
Since you’re having multiple problems at the same time, I’d suggest a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.

After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail.

After installing Mavericks Acrobat reader stopped working, Skype stopped working, lost a bunch of e-mails in my gmail account in Mail. Anyone has a fix? I can't open PDF files anymore...

Do a backup.
Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
Copy the line below.
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won’t see it.
Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
Information learned from Linc Davis.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Can I make my iMac 10.6.8 work with a usb superdrive? The internal disk reader stopped working.

Can I make my iMac OS X(10.6.8) work with a usb superdrive? The internal disk reader stopped working.

There are a couple of Apple Superdrives - one will only work with a couple of semi-resent Mac models without a Superdrive; the other supposedly works with all newer models without a superdrive. One of them will not work with any Mac which has a (non-working) built-in Superdrive.
So, the best way around this is to buy a third party DVD drive/burner.

W540 - Fingerprint reader stops working after sleep

Once again the fingerprint reader stopped working.
When I run the Lenovo Solution Center (v2.7.003 rev 19975) all appears normal. When I go to [Security]>[Fingerprint] I get a <Status> that it is enabled.
However when I [launch] > Fingerprint Manager Pro (v8.01.35 x64) I get the device is not connected.
See the pictures.
This occurred after coming out of sleep, and warm boot or cold boot did not change anything. It's now been 3 days. I have no idea what the hardware is doing as there are no lights. I did not install any new software, aside from the normal AV updates (MS Security and Malwarebytes ONLY! each aware of the other).
Administrative event logs do not reveal anything.
Device manager has no warning, neither does it show the fingerprint reader.
Scanning does nothing,
Any workaround ??? Any one else with these symptoms. I can deal with software, and drivers, but I cannot deal with failure to have hardware switches, lights, and other missing workstation attributes.
re: Lenovo W540 20BG, 32gb, Win 7 x64, BIOS 2.17, Samsung 1tb EVO

It's an on / off issue. Partly software and hardware. I think it a USB / reader problem. Only occurs occasionally when going to sleep. I do use Zentimo, so that may cause a disconnect when sleeping or at the very least let me know that a disconnect occured. I just type my user PW, as the reader's surrounding surface is now glossy, Never had that problem with other high gloss chassis. Oddly the track pad is immaculate and not shiny!
Reader resumes - in most cases - after cold boot with power off for a while. If I do a warm boot, the reader remains innactive and disconnected.
So far the machine from a software side is tamed and works great, it the harware interface with the internals that is a POS.
If the machine works great, it's because of Intel, nVidia, Micron, etc. The user dialog to the hardware is missing when PROBLEMS (not issues) occur.
Thank you for your concern. Hopefully these issues will be resolved after my yearly update. Albeit, Win 10 concerns me <vbg>. I think MS Win 10 will go the Adobe route, with a yearly subscription after the free 1 year.

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop - Memory Card Reader Stopped Working

Hello,
         I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC ... The memory card reader recently stopped working. I believe, maybe the firmware, and/or driver was deleted by one of my optimization softwares. I checked the "Device Manager" list and was unable to locate "any" memory card device.  All the USB plugs work fine. When I place an SD card in the memory card reader slot, the light comes on, but the computer does not recognize the card. The card does not show up in my "Computer" window with the other drives. I checked the card out on my other computer, and it worked fine.   I also have an HP laptop that I tested my SD cards on, and the cards worked fine on my laptop.
        I would appreciate any help, or suggestions, that any one might give.
                                                                                                                                                                     Thank You

RSS feed reader stopped working

Hi,
I have an RSS feed reading function that worked just fine until yesterday. I grab an RSS feed from google news using cfhttp and then parse it using XMLParse. I am attaching the code below.
Does anyone know if anything changed at Google or somewhere else that would cause my code to stop working? Instead of the expected results, I see the browser saying the page is loading but never get any results.
Perhaps there is a parameter I never set in the CFHTTP line and skated by without it for all this time. It is definitely hanging up on the CFHTTP call.
Thanks for the help.

Reader stops working when newest GTK2.0 installed - bug report and proposed fix

Adobe Reader 7.0.9 (Linux i386) stopped working when I installed a batch of updates on Xubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04). The updates included GTK 2.0, version 2.10.11. The symptom was that upon startup, Reader ended up in a seemingly infinite loop, printing out "expr: syntax error" (when started from terminal emulator). A few debug "echo"'s revealed that the loop concerned function get_gtk_file_ver().
The bug itself is on line 418. The original line is as follows:
echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-$[0-9]*$.0.so.0.$[0-9]$00.$[0-9]*$\|$.*$/\1\2\3/g'
- note that there is no '*' in the middle number-matching regexp, so the full expression matches only strings in which the "middle" group is 100, 200, ..., 900.
At this point in the execution, $mfile contains the name of the gtk library .so, in this case, libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11. In prior versions (e.g. 2.8.20, which is the current version in Ubuntu Dapper Drake LTS), the minor version had only one digit, and the regexp matched. When the minor version got incremented to two digits, the regexp no longer match because of the missing '*'! As an additional bonus, somehow this leads to the infinite loop (which is *not* good).
A working fix is to add the missing '*' into the regexp. I'd say that a lot of Linux users will be tripping on this issue soon, at least those who keep current on security updates.
I found no sensible way to contact the developers, i.e. a way that wouldn't have to pass a gazillion of customer-service and tech support people, who are most likely just as unaware of the issue as the users...
I hope this issue will be fixed ASAP - after all, it's only one added character, and that'll save a lot of users a lot of hassle.
(and btw, to have the intended effect, the dots in the sed expression should all be escaped with a backslash - now e.g. "libgtk-x11-2.0.sog0.1000.11" matches the sed regexp as well as "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11", but this probably isn't too critical...)

The solutions provided here work, but by accident. The script compares 2104 (2.10.4) to 240 (2.4.0) and sees that it's greater. Adobe will have problems in future releases if the minimum GTK release is, say, 2.10.4 and the user has 2.4.0.
I've crafted a more elegant solution, shown here in "patch" format. I think the reformatting and tab elimination done by HTML will preclude you from pasting this into a file and running "patch", but it's pretty easy to read and is short...

3000 N100 SD Reader Stopped Working and Now have XD Card Logo....WHAT??

So my SD card reader has been fine and the other day it stopped working. I go to my computer after putting in a SD card and instead of the SD logo, I have a XD Picture Card Logo and it doesnt work....and the logo stays even if there is nothing in the drive. I have no clue what happened...I didnt add or delete anything and Im not having any other issues.
Any please have any ideas? IT would be greatly appreciated as I use it all the time for my business.......I looked on the Lenovo site for a driver, but didnt see any....
Thanks in advance
Mike

This issue is on and off again with my laptop. The card reader constantly wants to download
new driver and when I do it does not recognize or acknowledge i have downloaded and installed update. I guess its time for a mac...........p.s. I am really disappointed in this vista crap!

Adobe Reader Stops Working

Adobe Reader stops working when trying to print

When I try to print something from Adobe Reader 9, I get a message saying that Adobe has stopped working. I un-installed the program, downloaded and re-installed it, but still get the same message. I am using a Medion PC running Vista, with 4GB memory. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have the exact same problem, with complications. I have Adobe 8, which was I think a pirated copy put on my laptop when a local technician uninstalled and reinstalled Windows XP. It worked fine until recently. Suddenly it stopped printing for me -- same message that it can't find the printer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, which works fine for any other kind of document. I also tried installing Adobe 9. It said it couldn't uninstall Adobe 8 and so couldn't install. I couldn't delete Adobe 8 myself, either -- Windows message said that a certain patch was missing that it would need to proceed. So now I have found the same workaround mentioned above -- open the document in Word and print from there.
This could be a new problem in printer settings for Adobe, or the issue could lie with my copy -- which is probably pirated and which has never updated. I can't even get more than a blank page when I click on "Beyond Adobe Reader."
I'd be glad to start over with a fresh copy or a fix from Adobe, even if I had to pay for it. I would need the ability to delete the bad version 8 and an aborted version 9 so that I could start fresh and install. (Version 9 install now says that now it can't proceed because it has already half installed a version 9 -- which is, however, invisible when I look for it to get rid of it.) Help!
I am stuck.
