Adobe has a KB article on this:

The solution is to do the following:

  1. Go to Edit

    Running Adobe XI Standard on Windows 8.1 Pro. I've set the settings as described and have even removed the Accessibility.api file from the plug-ins folder. We're still getting this message. What else can I do?

    You could try to turn off accessibility features.
