Why am I getting an error message trying to view pdf files.

When trying to open any pdf file, I have just started getting this message"
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
Why. I have made no change in my system that I know of. I get this message in IE8 or Firefox. I have Windows XP  Professional SP3. PC computer with plenty of RAM and Intel dual processors. So what is the deal. Why the message, I have not turned on Adobe Acrobat/Reader, so why am I being told to shut it down? Why have I never had the problem regardless of browser I use before?

This is incredible. This problem has been going on for years according to the messages on this forum. Adobe? Are you listening? One person had 247,000+ views to her message. Exact same problem I am having today. Here is the error message in case the Adobe programmers have all gone to sleep.
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
When are you going to let us know what the fix is Adobe????

  • Why is Premiere getting an error when trying to export .MXF files?

    Hello!
    I have a video that I need to submit to DMDS and it must be a .mxf file. This is the first time I've ever had to export a .mxf so I am not too familiar with the type. I have been exporting every other type of file for years and never had an issue (H.264, quicktime, etc.). However, when I try exporting .mxf I get the generic rendering error which then stops the export.
    The first time I tried, the video was down to 12 minutes left (after about 2 and a half hours) when I got the error.
    The next time, it crashed right away with over 2 hours still remaining.
    So it does not seem to be a corrupt clip because: A) I've been rendering this video out as other file types for rough previews, drafts, etc and it's worked fine and B) The 2 crash times were on opposite ends of the spectrum.
    I am running an iMac with OSX 10.7.5, 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB ram...I am using Premiere Pro Version 6.0.0
    I do have Third Party plug ins installed but have never had an issue exporting in the past, only with this .mxf file.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help!

    If you have GPU accelertation enabled in Premiere Pro, try switching to Software Only.
    Are you queuing the job to AME or clicking "Export" in the Export Settings dialog (which encodes directly through Premiere)? Whichever path you're going down, try the other one.
    I'd also keep an eye on your resource usage, especially RAM, while encoding in progress. With 8GB of RAM, I'd be surprised if that were the problem.
    Lastly, if you're encoding through AME, then you might want to post on that product's forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/ame

  • Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?

    Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

    You are getting an error message because there is an error.
    Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

  • Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

    I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

    Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv  file?
    This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
    There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
    Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
    Good luck,

  • Why do I get an error message in safari 5.1 telling me to restart in 32 bit mode in order to "view the movie" when I first start safari on opening page?

    why do I get an error message when I start safari 5.1 telling me I need to open browser in 32 bit mode in order to "view movie" ? This occurs when I start safari on the opening page (the page with all the boxes for most viewed web sites). This had never occurred with safari up until the latest updates to safari & OSX [Version 5.1 (6534.50)] and OSX 10.6.8.
    also, I'm not trying to view a movie - this occurs for the page previews that load when safari opens.
    thanks.

  • According to my network provider (Amaysim/Optus) Tethering is enabled, so why do I get this error message "to enable personal hotspot on this account, contact OPTUS"

    According to my network provider (Amaysim/Optus) Tethering is enabled, so why do I get this error message "to enable personal hotspot on this account, contact OPTUS"
    Amysim/Optus support can not help.
    I can not check or change any network settings (no APN settings)
    I have synced phone using latest itunes (10.5.3).
    Phone software is up to date (5.0.1).
    Network settings have been reset.
    SIM card has been taken out and put back in.
    Phone has been switched off/on again.
    Another sim card from virgin works ok (hotspot option is visible and can be turned on/off as required)
    The Amaysim/Optus SIM card can be put into another phone (android) and tethering/hotspot works fine.
    Can anyone provide solution to this nightmare?

    I am having the same issue although i have an iphone 5. I have contacted Live connected numerous times an tried everything imaginable to solve the issue. Is it possibly a handset issue? I cant recieve any help from optus as im with live connected, they cant help me and apple keep telling me to contact your carrier ( live connected). Seems to make me want to switch providers pretty shortly..
    please let me know if you can solve your issue and maybe it can help me too..

    Hello,
    Did you reinstall lately?
    My 10.4.11 Drive seemes to have iTunes 7.6.2 on it, have you tried Software update to see if iTunes is listed?
    Another 10.4.11 drive has iTunes 6.05 on it... I hate upgrading iTunes, seems worse at every upgrade.
    The 10.5.8 drive I'm booted from now has iTunes 8.02 on it.

    Why am i getting an error when trying ios6

    When I want to scroll through My pictures  why do I get this Error message (A necessary data reference could not be resolved)

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

    For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
    Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
    know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
    1. Can you open a new project?
    2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
    for that project?
    3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
    Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
    4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
    a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
    b. Other
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
    Thank you.

  • I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

    Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
    Thanks!
    disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.
