In my pdf files windows Explorer before a pdf icon. Now, they show it as a Word doc. I recently updated my Acrobat 8 Professional. Whats up, Doc?

In Windows Explorer (using Windows 8.3) all PDFs of my7 before a PDF icon! Now, they show as a same Word doc if they are PDF files. Recently, I've solved a problem "the organizers database is damaged and will be reset the next time Acrobat is launched...» "Which appears whenever I closed a PDF file. I have Acrobat updated with all the latest updates. Now, all of a sudden, I realized that all of my PDF files display the Word icon.

Also, when I get a bill from Intuit and choose whether to save in PDF format, it generates a Word doc which is unreadable! That's happened?

Hi jamesn7664596,

Please check the file association.

Or simply right click on the PDF file & set Acrobat as the default PDF Viewer.

Kind regards

  • CANNOT DELETE the LARGE FILE - Windows Explorer hangs

    Windows 8

    I made a very large pdf by mistake (14 GB) and now I can't do anything with it. Can not open, delete, move...

    I tried to delete the entire folder where it is located, but also that Windows Explorer crashes.
    I checked the disk for errors, and everything is OK.
    I tried to permanently delete without moving to the trash, as I understand it the trash can sometimes accept very large files. I can highlight the file, but as soon as I click the button remove Ribbon, or right-click, or try to do something with it, Windows Explorer crashes again.
    I have rather a small disc on this machine SSD, and I need this space to the rear...
    Can't think of anything else to try...
    Best regards, K

    Try to remove the file from a command prompt. You can shift right click a folder to see an option "open command window here", which will automatically open the command prompt in the appropriate folder. There is also an "open command prompt here" option on the file menu. If necessary, you can simply open a command prompt and use the cd command to go to the appropriate folder. (.. leave a folder, / to go to the root). Note that the led, remove and erase commands don't send files to trash either.

    Another thing you can try is crushing the PDF file. Type something in a program that is able to save to PDF and try to save it on this PDF. Please tell me if you receive errors overwhelming, because they can help to find out what is the problem. If you have any program capable of PDF, simply typing things into Notepad and overwrite the PDF file with it. (in the Save in drop-down menu, you can select "all files")

    The entry in NTFS, indicating the presence of this 14 GB file is maybe damaged. The disc may have recorded the location of the bad file, or the 14 GB file may not even be there. You can plan to run the chkdsk utility. It flows better in an administrator command prompt. If you are prompted to do so, you should probably run chkdsk /f. I don't know what the side effects might arise from running chkdsk on an SSD, so proceed at your own risk. (I tried to do a search, and all that I could find is that nothing else than / f should not be run on an SSD)

  • All files in Windows Explorer appear as an icon of the blank white page

    When I start my computer, I open Windows Explorer and open a folder to look at a few pictures, everything seems in good condition. All icons and thumbnails display correctly. So, I'm going and open a file to view it, or go back on the record and then go back in the. All icons that originally appeared as the icon or the correct thumbnail now appear suddenly, like a blank white page. I tried to rebuild the icon cache and don't have any managed to solve the problem. Please help me if you have any suggestions, what could be wrong... Thank you!

    Aaaah, as a matter of fact Yes! I have solved my problem. I hope this works for you also. I discovered that when I started the Task Manager and look under 'Process' there was a dllhost process that gradually consumed more in addition to my memory. It would slowly increase until that eventually the entire system would crash and I have to restart. So I solved it by putting a term simply the dllhost process. Every once in a while, however, I see the same problem product and I must go to the Task Manager to check... and of course, this same dllhost will eat all my power of transformation. So I just 'End process' on this topic again. Not a big problem because it happens less frequently than once a month to me and its an easy fix. So start up the Task Manager and see if you have a dllhost using an insane amount of memory. If so, this is probably what is causing your problem. I really hope this has solved your problem because it was a huge pain in the * for me. Very frustrating. I must also point out that the first time I tried to stop, it would just pop up again, so I had to close about 5 times in a half-hour time stretches on probably. DO NOT 'end process' on ALL Dllhost however as it may cause other problems with your computer. Just end the process if she consumes a ridiculous memory... amount as more 1 000 000. Oh yes, I also wanted to add that I was a little nervous about to terminate a process dllhost due to potential problems said it could cause, but when I finish this one, one that consumed all of my memory, no negative side effects occurred, none that I noticed.

  • HP Quick Launch buttons for Windows 7 to work a bit now, they have stopped working

    So I installed windows 7 x 64 on my HP Pavilion DV9700t. I had no problem using the Upgrade Advisor. My current rating is 4.9
    Everything is much more vivid and works fine, except the HP Quick Launch buttons.
    Initially, they worked so I could control the volume buttons, mute and media. So I don't remember exactly what I did and I installed an update or a specific package of the software HP Quick Launch buttons and they stopped working.

    I do not use the system restore and I mixed through several HP software packages including: SP40139, SP44777, SP39425. These seem to install fine and starts the process of quick launch control. However, the buttons do not always work. I even started the HP Quick launch in Windows Vista compatibility mode buttons.

    So I was wondering how I can return to pilot initial KB that happened when I installed Windows 7. Which seemed to have done the trick, but I don't know what it was.

    HP is too lazy to support my laptop brand, even if it is more than enough to run Windows 7.

    Thank you!

    Hi Covrigus Deus,

    I will suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the HP Quick Launch button software and reinstall it back. You can check the latest HP Web site package.
    For help with respect to uninstall and reinstall, you can visit the HP website for the instructions.
    If, however, the Quick Launch button still doesn't work after you have performed the steps in the abvoe, I will propose you to complete the restore of the system.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. System restore click Start, type in the search box and then click on the system restore listed programs.

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

    1. In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    2. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    3. Click Finish.

      The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Apparently, you tried to open a DOC file to PDF quite awhile, and your system is confused. In any case, go to a DOC or DOCX file (or both) in the Windows Explorer and right click. Select open with and select WORD - always check open with button.

    Check that the other WORD documents open correctly from the Explorer. Try again your e-mail address. If e-mail is not fixed, then look in the list of applications in your email inbox (some do) and fix the problem here. It might also be useful by turning on the display of extensions in Explorer, so you can see that a file is in fact a word with the appropriate extension. (just try to cover as many opportunities as possible now).

  • Windows Explorer crashes when you open any folder with MPEG2 files.

    WinXP SP3 - When you open any folder with MPEG2 files, windows Explorer crashes. If the folder contains only the MPEG1 files, it opens without a problem. We first thought it was a problem of media player, but we can not even click on a file to open it in media player.

    Hi kathyd,.

    ·        You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

    Since we do not know what is causing this problem, I'd suggest unanimous the event viewer on your computer and check the details in the window logs messages/error codes important related to the question, during the time where this problem occurs and after return.

    Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems or help you predict potential system problems.

    Access the link below to learn how to view and manage the event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/event_overview_01.mspx?mfr=true

    You can try to start both computers in safe mode and check if it can open the folder where the MPEG 2 files are stored and if windows Explorer crashes. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    I hope this helps. Post back with the required information.

    Looks like you are part of the many people that does not agree with the features that have been removed from Windows Explorer.

    Installation of the classic interface can help. See the links below.

    Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:

    The most important fix or return to Windows Explorer features:

    (1) the option to turn off the auto arrange.

    (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with. Double click on a folder in the left pane can also cause this problem.  Vote to fix it..

    (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

    (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

    (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

    (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

    (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

    (8) the option to show the pane that is your mouse with wheel mouse, even if this pane is not selected.

    Inform you want Windows explorers returned Microsoft functions:

    Given that many people seem to agree that some or all of the changes made to Windows Explorer were actually less friendly user, you can go to the Windows 7 comments page and (politely) to let them know your suggestions to improve:

    Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

    After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page for the classic interface.

    A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

    (1) install the free Classic shell.  It's very customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer rather than a full blown replacement. You need to install the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
    (2) restart the computer.
    (3) launch Windows Explorer (Start - computer) and turn on "Always show Menus" (organize - Layout - check menu bar). It's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you wish.
    (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
    5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even hit back to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders). The Windows Vista folder display style looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but it gets rid of the horrible blow.
    (6) adjust other settings you want.

    After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.  Vote for Microsoft to fix this bug.

    Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...
