Moe,
It probably has something to do with the Windows UAC (User Access Control) that
is not allowing it to open the Adobe Reader. You may have to temporarily turn
it off and then see if Legacy will open the program. If it will then you will
have to do a Google search on how to make Legacy a trusted program. I hate the
UAC and currently have it turned off so I can save files to where I WANT them
and not where WINDOWS THINKS IT SHOULD GO! To turn off the UAC goto control
panel>users and one of the links tells you how to disable it. You may have to
restart windows for the full affect.

Subject: [LegacyUG] PDFs won't launch since OS upgrade
I just installed Windows 7 64-Bit Pro on my system. I'm running Legacy
Version 7.5.0.67
I have PDF files attached to individuals in their Picture Gallery.
When I try to open the file I get an error (no error code) "There is
currently no default media player set up for your computer."
I have checked the file associations and PDFs were assoc. with Acrobat
Reader. Just to make sure, I broke the assoc and then recreated the assoc. I
even manually browsed to Adobe Reader's exe. No luck.
From my browser PDFs work with no problem.
From Windows Explorer, is I click on a PDF is opens not problem.
In Legacy I have used the Launch tab and browsed to Adobe Reader's exe
and set the path. No luck. I reset everything to Defaults, still no luck. When
I click "Launch", Adobe Reader opens as it should.
Any Ideas?
