I used to get this message all the time on my previous computer, but it would be several of them. I was running a Windows 8 machine, 12 GB of RAM, and several card readers slots. The drive letters displayed would be from my card reader. I would get these messages when I tried to open any PDF. If you continue clicking on "Continue" the PDF would still open. I personally thought it was annoying, but since I did not have to open too many PDF documents I just suffered through it. I recently moved to a new machine and the message stopped. BUT at the same time I moved to a new machine my boss moved to a new machine. Now he is getting the message. Unlike me, he is only getting one message and his machine doesn't have a card reader. He is running a Surface Pro (Windows 8, 4 GB of RAM). The other user with a Surface Pro is not reporting any issues. Any idea on how to fix the issue? We have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader and re-installing it, but no luck on fixing it.

Correct answer Hquiros001

This worked for me:

Open Regedit

HLM-System-Controlset001-Control-Windows-Errormode

Change value from 0 to 2

Close Regedit

Hope this helps,

I work tech support at my company and managed to find one of the causes: Trickle charging a blackberry in our environment puts two disk drives on the computer, D: and F:. Unplugging the blackberry removes the disks and stops the error.

Hope that helps!

I know this is a late, but for anyone else who has this issue DO NOT change the value of HLM-System-Controlset001-Control-Windows-Errormode. Once you change it, it disables ALL hard drive system error info that shows up in a box similar to this and could end up causing problems later on when error messages that are supposed to come up don't actually show.

There's actually a really easy way to fix this:

A simple fix I used was to go into disk management and change the letter of the drive that was having problems. Once done, it fixed it instantly and works properly.

If anyone needs me to elaborate, I will do it- just don't change that value, you'll regret it. It makes no sense, you're just covering up the problem instead of solving it.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! We have been fighting this for weeks! I found this thread, was going to change the value in regedit, but decided to read all the way through the thread. Saw your post (from last night!) and your fix worked! Thank you!!!
