How to Fix Foxit Reader’s Script Error in Windows 8.1

Last updated on September 5, 2014 By Venkat

When you launch Foxit Reader, by default, it shows start page and advertisements on startup unless you’ve disabled them in the Preferences, if you try to open Foxit PDF Reader in recently released Windows 8.1 you can get a script error saying ‘Access is denied’ with a URL pointing to ‘file:///C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Foxit%20Software/Foxit%20Reader/StartPage /start/en_us/js/jquery.min.js’,  if you click ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, script Error again appears when you reopen the Reader.
