Preview pane does not not for PDFs in Windows 8

I can't view the pdf files from the preview pane in Windows 8.   I just upgraded to Vista, where he still works on my system.   Now when I click on a file to pdf, the preview pane has a message that says "this file cannot be previewed."   In addition, I can't view pdf attachments in Outlook (I use Office 2010) as I have in Vista.  I get a message that says "this file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following outline generator: PDF Preview Handler for Vista."  The preview pane and preview generator Outlook work with Office programs and text files.

How can I fix it?

If you have installed Adobe reader software (Adobe Reader XI, this is what I got). You must confirm as the 'default PDF Manager' software Adobe reader for WIndows 8.

That's what I did to display PDF content in the Preview Panel.

1. Open Adobe Reader XI

2. Go to Edition-> Preferences

3. In the Preferences window, select "General" categories on the left panel.

4. Click on 'Select default PDF Manager' down.

5. When the "User Account Control" dialog box appears, click 'yes '.

6. Click 'OK' when you are in the windows preference.

7. Close the software Adobe Reader XI.

And now you should be able to display PDF in the Preview Panel.

    Hello

    I installed JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 on my machine Windows 8 and the extension of the ADF Mobile. I can open the ADF Mobile Viewer. There is therefore no problem with this on Windows 8. I used the generic facility, which is that I have installed the JDK and then run the command for installing JDeveloper Java-jar.

  • Preview pane does not display certain types of files

    File Explorer Windows 8 will not be Word 2003 overview, .eml.  I fixed the problem of pdf.  Microsoft should ensure that. as time passes, the historical use of all files - including via the preview pane - turned more, not less.  This is my paradigm that a Windows version is better than the previous if its operation is greater than the last.  I can't say what.  As a user not touch at this point, I don't know if it's leaned towards this market.  But... as a historian and Archivist, I highly recommend Microsoft to ensure that a rise of re-purchase must be the files that existed in the past continue to be revised more and more, not less.

    In this presentation, I'm not saying why I can't preview Word 2003?  files is a mod?  This is because in the future, Microsoft gave a few fo his suitcases.  Is not up to the passengers to go after them.  Which means that we, the customer must not be fixing ourselves.

  • I get a JavaScript Application error: "setTimeout" called on an object that does not implement the interface Window for Firefox.

    I get a pop up box with the message: Application JavaScript error: "setTimeout" called on an object that does not implement the interface Window for Firefox.

    But it seems to appear when I go to Amazon.com. Then he opens with this message and the OK option? But as fast as I can click OK, another box appears. After all a half dozen, she disappears - until what I move to another part of Amazon! I uninstalled - reinstalled and then - Firefox and BA. I do not understand this!

    (And of course, there is always the possibility that it is not only attacking me on Amazon... There may be a lot of other sites that also trigger, and I just haven't been there yet.)

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)
