After installing the reader XI, why Acrobat cannot be set as the default PDF Manager?

I tried everything I know, including a clean boot.  Whenever I try to open PDFs with Acrobat (Version 8.3.1) Win7, it restores the reader XI.

From the inside of the drive/preferences/general/Select Default PDF Handler, reader XI is the only option.  Acrobat is not listed.

Unfortunately there are no post option with Acrobat 8 installation to change the PDF property. However, it is possbile Acrobat 10 go. But yYou can choose to make the XI Manager default PDF reader during the installation itself.

1. go in Control Panel-> Add/Remove Programs, select the entry "Adobe Reader XI" and uninstall it.

2. then visit the link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and choose the drive you need.

3 when you double-click on the EXE file, then a screen will be showing the extraction of files. At the end of the extraction installation will start and you will be presented with the following screen:

4 uncheck the box that says "Make Adobe Reader my default PDF Viewer"

Acrobat 8 will remain on your machine's default PDF Viewer.

  • Many of our users cannot open PDF files.  You must select the player as the default PDF Manager once a day.

    What was once a rare problem, became a chronic problem, because some changes to group policy by an administrator of AD.  We have disabled all GPs that relate to Acrobat, but we'll still have to connect to workstations users to remember that it is the default manager of PDF in Acrobat Reader (found under Edit > Preferences > General.)

    As I mentioned above, this was happening from time to time, and I don't really know why.  We use 9.5, X and XI versions, and each of them have exposed this problem in the past and currently.  If we could find a whole network solution to this question (rather than having to connect to dozens of individual work stations every day), we would be really happy.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    We believe that we have found the answer.  Apparently an admin six years ago had created a batch file named ironically called 'Adobe Fix.bat', who calls a login script to set the following registry key on each computer:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]

    "@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\"

    Since C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe no longer exists on any computer, no PDF files would be the load until you said Acrobat what software to use to open.

    Remove this script should solve the problem.

    Last week, I installed the latest update of Windows 8, however once installed, I was no longer able to access the internet and became a message saying that the page cannot be displayed. Below it there is a button to click to solve the problem of connection but I did and it came back with no connection problem.

    I reset my router, but there was no question that I could access the internet on my phone and my roommates laptop. The only way that I could access the internet again was to restore my pc and remove install.

  • I can't create an installer, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...

    I can't create an installer on LabView, after install the Vision Builder demo and then uninstall it. I can't create a Labview Installer more, he asks me an installer of generator of Vision, even if Labview my program does not have nothing to do with it...

    Hi, Shada, this can happen if you include additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you do this the installation program must include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder he updated MAX, so when your Installer try to understand MAX, his request the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.

    Here you can cache information so it is not asked once again, or you can download a version more recent fo DAQmx, then it will update MAX and change the dependecy.

    You can find more details about it in this KB:

  • Error 0X0000007E Stop after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    Original title: Stop error after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    After I installed a new motherboard and CPU I got a stop error 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XB77EA756, 0XB84C742C, 0xB84C7128) and it restarted immediately. It always starts in safe mode, but I can't understand what is wrong. The old processor is a pentium 4 3 ghz, not sure what the motherboard was, new processor is AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 4200 + and I only know that the motherboard is an ASUS socket AM2. Device Manager does not recognize the CPU correctly, it shows just two entries called processor. As far as I can tell, it's almost certainly a driver issue, but I don't know how to diagnose or fix this. I am running windows XP home, I removed my video card, running 2 hard drives at 120 g (M) and 200 g (S), a DVD drive (M) and a reader of CD (S), and a stick of RAM to 1 GB.

    If you have made the change without having to reinstall XP, you will be taking and Pray H@ll. the best thing to do would be to reinstall XP and make sure you have the drivers available for your motherboard available so that you can update the installed chipset. In addition, be aware that if you have an OEM of Windows version, the license is dead when you changed the mother/CPU card.

    I hope this helps.

  • PC Pavilion laptop: no sound on Pavilion g6 after installing the new battery CMOS

    I have a Pavilion g6z - 1 d 00 CTO Notebook PC, model A2F43AV number.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

    The problem is that I did not sound, either through headphones or the speakers even if the Volume is set at 55. I first noticed the audio problem after replacing the CMOS battery, as the laptop is 4 years old and he gave me intermittent wireless connectivity problems.  After installing the new battery CMOS, I noticed the wireless driver was missing and downloaded/installed.  Everything was fine except the audio.  Then I reset the BIOS but nothing there as the BIOS version is v.49, and it is the most recent.

    I have also downloaded/installed the driver audio and rebooted the PC.  Still, there is no noise.

    Finally, I have checked the audio drivers and the reporting system they work without any problem.

    What should I do next?

    Thanks, Terry

    Thanks for the reply,

    I was under the impression that these links would take you to guide step by step, however, it seems that they do not work,

    However, I have provided details below:

    To perform a hard reset on a computer equipped with a removable battery, follow these steps:

    1. Turn off the computer.

    2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.

    3. Disconnect all external devices from devices such as USB, external displays storage devices and printers.

    4. Disconnect the power adapter from the computer.

    5. Remove the battery from the compartment to batteries.

    6. Press and hold button power for about 15 seconds, remove any residual electric charge capacitors that protect memory.

    7. Insert the battery and plug the power adapter into the laptop, but do not connect peripheral devices.

    8. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    9. If a boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select start Windows normally and then press the Enter key.

    10. After you have reconnected each peripheral device, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.

    To perform a hard reset on a computer equipped with a sealed or non-removable battery, follow these steps:

    1. Turn off the computer.

    2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.

    3. Disconnect all external devices from devices such as USB, external displays storage devices and printers.

    4. Disconnect the power adapter from the computer.

  • Drawing objects in Firefox and Thunderbird after installing the graphics card MSI R6850 of AMD

    After installing the new graphics card (MSI R6850 CYCLONE 1GD5 PE/OC), pilots the latest on Windows XP 32-bit, I frequently meet with Mozilla Firefox 8.0 and Mozilla Thunderbird 8.0 drawing artifacts. The problem presents itself as a horizontal black bands or model checker color scattered. It occurs especially when the child (like the Download Manager) passage of another application for Firefox or Thunderbird or when to switch to a window for Firefox. It affects the entire application or only some rectangular (region clearly who was redesigned due to change of application). Then repaint (such as switch between Firefox tabs) usually solves the problem. This is just visual, the behavior is not affected. The problem never happened to any other application so far. Any ideas? Any who have experienced the same problem? Thanks in advance.
