  • Why adobe reader continue trying to open my XPI files?

    Recently, when trying to download a file as I clicked on the drive from adobe instead of the program that I wanted to use to open it, and now he tries repeatedly to use adobe reader to open it no matter what I do, I looked everywhere and I can't change that. Could you please inform me on how to change what I use to open a file?

    Im trying to open the tutorial of 23 minutes on how to use different tools in photoshop and it continues to come with unable to resolve the DNS servers worked fine yesterday? Ive had creative cloud on my laptop for a week and not yet able to get past the basics make me very frustrated.

    I guess you meant the links when you open photoshop CC. I tested all four videos of the 23 min tutorial and they all played fine. If something between you and adobe does not work correctly.

    • Check that your firewall is blocking the net. Try to access youtube videos and see if they play very well
    • Go to the adobe tv site and try to play one of the videos here. Adobe TV
    • If youtube plays very well and adobe tv does not work, next is to check if you have flash installed. Some videos require flash, others are html 5. Sorry that I could not confirm what player has been used for this tutorial. I think that html 5 but not sure.
    • Next is to look at the properties of your browser and check multimedia settings are not disabled if it y in a. (this is totally dependent on the browser)

    If none of this helps, let us know.

  • Changed the name of a bookmark in a folder, now when I try to open the file, it tries to open every bookmark in the file.

    I have a folder of bookmarks in the toolbar. I changed the name of one of the bookmarks in that folder. The next time I tried to open the file, I had (and continue to receive) a message saying that I'm about to open 47 tabs, and this can slow down the firefox. I have only to open the file, not each bookmark in it and does not know how to get it by allowing me to do.

    That only happens if you click on this button to folder in the bookmarks toolbar, or you cannot open this folder in the sidebar (Ctrl + B) or the bookmarks menu as well?

  • Computer slows way down after trying to open internet explorer, then will not be closed.

    I look through the posts and have not found someone who had my same problem still. I hope someone can help me. A few weeks ago, I bought a new gateway laptop and it has Windows 7. It works great until a few days ago. Day before yesterday, I tried to open Internet Explorer 8 and I just got a white screen with the border of IE, but it did not open a page or anything like that. I opened the Task Manager and allows to close the IE. I had that happen in the past (in XP) when I tried to open internet until the computer is carried out all the stuff at the start of the loading. Thinking that was the problem, I tried to open IE again. This time I just got the little thing of circle of rotation for a few seconds, as he was trying to do something, but nothing happened. I then tried to restart the computer. He says "disconnect" for a few minutes, then "shutting down" for about half an hour until I finally pressed right on the power button to turn it off. I have it turned on and had the same problem again. I even tried to open another program (Word) to see if it would work. Finally opened, it was ridiculously slow. I checked the process and it is said there are CPU usage 0. However, he acts like something using all the memory. My next step was to remove the battery. I took it out for a few minutes, restarted in safe mode, and the computer works perfectly. I then restarted it regularly. It seemed to work fine. I opened Word again and she appeared right as usual. So then I tried to open internet. I had the same problem as before, and then the computer slowed to a crawl and would not shut down. Thinking maybe it was just IE, I rebooted in safe mode with network and my internet works perfectly. I downloaded Firefox (in safe mode), perhaps hoping it would work. But when I rebooted, I always had the same problem. Everything worked fine when I got it in safe mode, even on the internet. If someone has had this problem before, please help! I just bought the computer a few weeks ago and it's very frustrating.

    Hi tonirose19

    ·         As the problem does not occur in safe mode, try to start the computer to the boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 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.

    Steps to perform the clean boot and check if you have the problem.

    i. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

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

    III. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    IV. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.

    v. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.

    VI. click OK.

    VII. When you are prompted, click restart.

    VIII. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved check what third party causing the problem, referring to the link given below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

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

    i. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

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

    III. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    IV. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

  • Updated Lion mountain in El Capitan and first in most of the projects are broken by trying to open

    Hi, on the subject says it all line. The version of El Capitan, I upgraded to is 10.11.4. The system is 27 "imac, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB of ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 M 512 MB

    Can I do to solve this problem? I have one or two projects that are open.

    If I was forced to use CC first, this would probably correct the problem?

    Thanks for any information,

    Sean

    Ilyes, through the entrance. I had a plugin called seems fast red giant. When I downloaded trial CC, it would open all my projects (convert), but not this plugin or another one I had. In addition, CS6, of course, open my projects. Then, I tried to reinstall seems fast and he began to cause CC to crash whenever I tried to open it.

    So, I uninstalled seems fast and discovered that CS6 worked again and with El Capitan. So, since I don't want to pay monthly for CC and can apparently enjoy El Capitan right now, I'll stick with CS6, so I can continue to work.

  • Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes every time that it is trying to open.

    I use a MacBook Pro with 10.9.4.  Today when I tried to open Bridge CS3, it crashed. No error. Just hang. On several occasions.  I removed all Adobe and reinstalled, but the bridge continues to crash. I used the menu "Shift/option" reset the prefs, etc., and it still crashes. I downloaded a patch supposed to bridge & installed even if my APP store didn't want me and bridge continues to crash.

    I am a photographer and dependent bridge as my photo browser.

    Other ideas for me to try?

    Well, I don't know what just happen to gremlins, but get this:

    On a whim, I have kept only the key shift key while trying once more open the bridge. And he OPENED without crashing.

    I was afraid to leave the key... but I did, and the bridge has not crashed. I have traveled some photo files, closed the Bridge reopened... WITHOUT the SHIFT key & its opening. I have now tried several times and it does not crash. And while I'm happy that it works, I wouldn't hold my breath that it will continue to work.  WEIRD.

    I'm going to re - start the macbook pro and see what happens.
