  on my machine, it happens every time after I used firefox(3.6/4.0/5.0) download whatever it is, when I click on download link firefox is no answer.  then I stop windows I'll see this box.

  Hi ucudbm,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. You have security software installed on the computer?
  4. The problem occurs only after the use of Firefox on your computer?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest you contact Firefox support for more information.

• Fatal error that acrobat was unable to connect to a dde Server

  Acrobat Reader DC does not start in Windows 10 build 14915

  Launch Acrobat Reader DC in the start menu. After a long wait, this message appears:

  ---------------------------

  Fatal error

  ---------------------------

  Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.

  ---------------------------

  Ok

  ---------------------------

  Even with a double click on a PDF in the file Explorer. Drive worked fine in Windows 10 build 14905 this afternoon before I updated.

  What to do apart from push to 14905?

  As a work around, I did the Microsoft program "Reader", the default value for the pdf files they open fine in the drive.

  Thank you.

• Windows 10 fatal error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server

  Today I couldn't open a pdf document by double-clicking on it in Windows Explorer. Apparently, nothing happened. Finally, I opened right click and chose with... Chrome. It worked. The default value is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. I found later, after the closure of the browser widow, dialog windows three under. Said dialog boxes "fatal error / Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.»

  When double checking so that writing this post, I found that by double clicking on a PDF document opens on board - and that works too. Right-click, context menu's 'Open' in the top of the page and more restraint, 'Open with->' and Adobe Acrobat Reader ms at the top of the submenu.
  I just tried the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC selection and nothing I happening. I reduced all the windows one by one to see if a dialogue window appears, but no.

  Googling the error message turned up a suggestion to set a registry entry, but the entry was already the suggested value: HKCR\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application: default: REG_SZ: AcroViewR10,.

• "Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.

  Problem: Acrobat generates the following error ' Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server "

  SCENARIO #1
  (1) if I double click on a single PDF file, the file opens without any problem
  (2) if I double click on a second PDF file, I get ' Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.
  (3) if I double click on a third file I also get ""Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server " and so on..."
  (4) if I completely close Adobe Reader, I can open and then again all a single PDF file
  (5) basically I can have only one PDF file open at any time
  (6) if I reboot my system, I can open multiple PDFs even once without any problems, but after leaving my system on without restarting the computer for a while (possibly after a whole day) the question back again and I have to restart once again to solve the problem. Very annoying.

  SCENARIO #2
  (1) I Double click on a single PDF file, the file opens
  (2) I click file = > open select one or more PDF files and have no problem open as many PDF files I want.
  (3) I guess I can use this as a workaround but I find that it is not also practice that double-click several files in Windows Explorer.

  
  Here's what I've tried so far vain

  Uninstall/reinstall of Adobe Reader 9.1
  -uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1 and Adobe Reader 8 installation
  -Remove the checkmark next to "USE DDE" in the Windows Explorer File Types section
  (In Windows Explorer, click on tools = > Folder Options = > Types of files = > PDF = > advanced = > open = > change = > use DDE)

  
  -Set Windows Services Network DDE DSDM Network DDE services automatic and verified that they are both started

  I'm on a corporate network, if that helps

  Appreciate any suggestions

  I am using Acrobat Reader DC. I used to be able to open .pdf attachments to an e-mail by clicking twice on the attachment. Since a few days it doesn't work like that.  I get a message error "Acrobat could not connect to a DDE server. I discovered a way around - I have to listen to samples and then double-click on before its opening. It's heavy. Can I avoid it? How can I just double click again?

  My BIG problem is with .pdf files already in my computer. Worse - these .pdf files open at all.

• AR error "AR could not communicate to the DDE server.

  I've updated from Win 7 to win 10. I have AR DC and it was working fine before the upgrade. Now when I try to use the AR, I get the following error message: "AR could not communicate to the DDE server". After reading several posts on the forums, I tried to clean up the permissions for AR DC. AR DC started working but only once. He went immediately to the same error message. I tried to reinstall AR DC but I still get the same error message.  Can anyone help? Thanks John

  Hi johnm72885013,

  The error you see "Acrobat could not connect to a DDE server" occurs usually when Acrobat/Reader finds an already running instance of Acrobat/Reader software, tries to 'talk' to it, but this other instance does not. This can happen if there is a 'guillotine' or misconduct Acrobat/Reader running (perhaps in running in background because he doesn't close properly).

  If you are uncomfortable with the task manager of Windows (via Ctrl-Shift-Escape), then try and kill any what Acrobat.exe or AcroRd32.exe instances running in the background that may have disappeared.

  Kind regards

• "acrobat could not connect to the dde Server" when openning Adobe Acrobat PRo XI

  You use Windows 7, removed AA XI, reinstalled after buying last week - same problem.  It does not open and I get this message "acrobat could not connect to the dde server.

  the clues how to get out of the forest? Its very frustrating.

  Help

  [Left the Premiere Pro forum... MOD]

  Hey,.

  You could try to remove all Acrobat processes in Task Manager and then restart Acrobat.

  In addition, please repair Acrobat in the Help menu.

  If you still get the same error, press (Windows + Run) and type "REGEDIT".

  Go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application" and tell me if the given key is AcroViewA10 or AcroViewR10.

  Kind regards
