Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Freezing After Install on Brand New Dell Optiplex 580

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to an issue I am having.
I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 onto a brand new Dell Optiplex 580 running Windows XP (AntiVirus was not installed yet).  When launching, it freezes 3-5 seconds after opening and I need to open Task Manager to kill the process.
I have tried:
Repair install
Deleteing Preferences folder and letting the program recreate it
Manually starting and restarting the FLEXnet service
Running in compatibility mode
Applying the updates for Adobe Acrobat Pro (up to 8.2.4)
Running Adobe without background services
Manually uninstalling and reinstalling
Thanks for your help in advance,
Seth

Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.

  • I need to install a volume license for Adobe Acrobat Pro from an old to a new computer

    I need to install a volume license for Adobe Acrobat Pro from an old to a new computer
    I have the correct License Key which I checked on Adobe License site but when I enter it
    is says it's incorrect

    Problem solved,
    I found the original Adobe installation files on our system that we used to first intall Acrobat Pro.
    Using these files with the correct volume license key we were able to install the programme on our new Computers.
    I was also informed by Adobe Help that I could also download these file from the Adobe License website after logging in.
    https://licensing2.adobe.com/
    Click on Licenses / Download and then Software
    Hope this might help anyone else with the same problem

  • Show that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed on my Windows 8 computer, but I can't find the app list

    I am using windows 8 and the Adobe Cloud shows that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is installed and updated, but I can't find the app, and, when looking at my list of programs to "uninstall", I don't see it listed either. (I thought a possible solution might be to uninstall and install again)
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Please try removing Acrobat from the link mentioned below.

  • I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but installing software does not recognize Acrobat 7.0 Pro for upgrade

    I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro XI but installing software does not recognize Acrobat 7.0 Pro for upgrade

    That's correct.
    Acrobat 8 is the earliest version from which you can upgrade to Acrobat XI

  • Help.  Acrobat pro freezes after 9.5.1 update

    my acrobat pro freezes everytime when i try opening a PDF. i have just updated/upgraded to the 9.5.1. i'm on a mac os lion.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro freezing on duplex printing

    In adobe acrobat pro X when printing 2 or more pages duplexed on a Canon iR-adv c5045/5051 adobe acrobat freezes and crashes and the job never makes it to the printer, on adobe reader x free edition this is not hte case and prints without a problem. any information on this would be great. thanks

    You mean there is an entry in the dock that doesn't work but it works OK from LaunchPad or Applications? Sounds as if you have an old or out of date thing in the dock. Just remove it and put the working Acrobat back. The dock is ENTIRELY under your control; Acrobat doesn't put itself there or remove itself.

  • How can I get Adobe Acrobat Pro 11 to install?

    I have a system with my Documents folder as a shared drive on a server.  When I try to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 11, it complains "The path My Pictures or the volume is invalid"  This error prevents the installation of Adobe Acrobat Pro.  How can I resolve this?

    Hi,
    You cannot install the Software on Shared Drive. When you start the Installation please change the Installation folder to C: instead of your Shared Drive.

  • I bought the Adobe Acrobat Pro on Disc, then realized my new laptop doesn't have a CD drive. Can I just download it with my serial number or do I have to send it back?

    I bought a new laptop after mine was stolen. I also purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro on Disc. I then realized my new steady state laptop doesn't have a CD drive... Can I download the software with my serial number or do I have to send it back and purchase the downloadable version?

    I also purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    Which version?
    You can simply download the installer from Adobe, install then enter your serial number when prompted.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

    Hi williamc48321229,
    You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
    Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.
    For more details on this, please refer:
    Find your serial number quickly
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI trial install failure

    I have tried several times to install the trial of Acrobat Pro XI. Each time, after the Download Assistant downloads the Installer, I run the installer, and receive two error messages.
    First: "The installation cannot proceed, because some of the processes are running."
    After clicking "OK", the window beneath reveals this error message:
    So, as advised, I am contacting the software manufacturer for assistance. Odd that Adobe is not even aware that the "software manufacturer" is Adobe, don't you think?
    Also, I can't read the entire first line of the last error message. "There were errors in the installation. You may want to try i…" is all that's there.
    My details:
    Mac OS X 10.9.5
    MacBookPro 13" 2014
    I just wanted to see if the latest version of Acrobat improves on the resolution problems associated with reading PDFs with the high-resolution Retina display. Acrobat Pro X displays all text quite choppy, even if I set the preferences to use System Settings.
    Any ideas how I can complete the installation?
    CP

    No. This is interesting, but not helpful.
    The link seems to discuss problems with the Download Assistant itself. Strange, too, that all the links to "helpful" information are concerned with the Creative Suite. This is confusing.
    My problem is with the installation of Acrobat Pro XI. All the steps complete, except for the final moments of the installation. There is no information regarding the error message I am seeing.
    Adobe's "Help" website is legendary for its poor navigability. I just end up going in circles.
