Question

Remote procedoure call failed in Windows 8.

I just started to receive this message whenever I try to open a PDF file. I even get this message when trying open a previously saved PDF file. I have never had this problem before. Any suggestions ?

I'd try another pdf-reader first. Choose from Adobe, Foxit software and Nitro, all free.
Which one do you use now?

There was a new app that I installed from Windows Store, "FastFiles" that was not working. This App was causing the error message. I deleted the App, and now the PDF file is coming up.
