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.

Hi dscycler ,

Try to remove DC using tool cleaning available here: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat cleaning - Adobe Labs tool, restart the computer, and then reinstall Adobe Reader DC from here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution .

Let us know the results.

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,.

    What type of server Acrobat tries to connect with? How to? Acrobat Connect to the Explorer window for the file name?
    With no information to go, how you can help out us, other than the nuclear option: reinstall everything?

  • "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

    Im trying to get my outlook express to receive and send messages from my live.com account but it comes back with: the server responded with an error. Account: "Live.com', Protocol: POP3, server response:'-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC90."

    Someone knows how to fix this? I tried to remove and add the account again using IMAP instead of POP3, but still get an error message, the e-mail address and the password are all correct and I think that ive got the right to Server (live.com?) Im not exactly computer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You will find the right settings for an account on this page live.com: send and receive Hotmail from an e-mail application. To change your settings, select Tools > accounts > {account} > properties and make right onto the tabs of servers and Advanced entries.

  • T400: Error Message - there was a problem connecting to the TPM secure

    Hello

    I am a new user of ThinkPad. I just got my T400 a week ago, and I'm a fan of him immediately. But there's this little thing that really bothers me. The second day I used my laptop, I got this error message: "There was a problem connecting to the module of TPM (safety device) on this computer", and I got this message since that date, every time I turn on my laptop.  What it means? And how do I get rid of this error message? Thank you!

    Moderator Note: Type + error message added to the line object for clarity.

    go into the bios and check if the TPM secure is enabled or disabled in the BIOS. Make sure it's on. If the problem persists then call Lenovo, could be a hardware problem.

  • Error: Unable to connect to the Converter Server

    I'm doing a P2V conversion of base with the converter for .net SDK; However I'm getting unable to connect to the converter server.  I use the SDK software on the converter server.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    my properties file is pretty basic:

    physicalsource.address=192.168.1.32
    physicalsource.username=192.168.1.32\rootcd

    You must be able to connect to the computer you run the samples of the converter (192.168.80.5) on port 443 server machine. You can check the following:

    * Converter Server is running

    * There is no firewall is blocking the port 443

    * There is no other application taking port 443 and not allowing not converter tuned (a web server on the same computer?)

    * Converter server is installed in Client-Server mode (by default, it is installed in local mode only and no TCP connections are allowed, but samples SDK only support TCP mode).
