Adobe XI slow or not responding on Windows 8 Pro

I am running Adobe XI on Windows 8 professional.  Opening a document in XI it is either slow to respond or I receive a (not responding) message.  This experience takes place on a regular basis since I have upgraded to XI.  I am completely dissatisfied with the upgrade. Is there a way to go back to an earlier version?

To go back you would have to uninstall and then reinstall the old version. However, you might check to be sure you have updated AA XI before going further.

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

    You really need to install the CS6 updates.  You haven't installed any of the updates.
    And you need to update your Intel video card driver.

  • Adobe camera raw will not respond in bridge cs6?

    adobe camera raw does not respond in adobe bridge? I am trying to open Jpegs, which i have previously been able to do so by right clicking and opening in adobe camera raw. Now it is unresponsive.

    dj1461986
    You are definitely in the wrong forum for Bridge CS6 and Adobe Camera Raw. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing focus).
    You probably want to be posting in the Photoshop Forum.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
    My preliminary findings suggest possible workaround
    a. Open camera raw in Photoshop 5 or 5.5 and then open edited raw image in Bridge CS6
    or
    b. There is a preferences route to check out.
    Not being a Photoshop user, this is a quick suggestion where you might start looking. This is apparently a known issue.
    The Photoshop users should be able to give you all the details and options you have for workarounds for now.

  • What do I do when I get a message that adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

    What do I need to do when a website sends me a message that my adobe reader 7 is not compatable with windows 8?

    Are you using Adobe Reader 7 on Windows 8? If so, the message is probably correct and you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader (which is XI).
    If you already have Reader XI, maybe you can give us some more details about where you are at and what you are doing when you get this message.

  • "The Adobe DRM Activator is not responding"

    I am new to this whole world of on-line books and am trying to download a PDF file for one of my textbooks at my on-line college. I have Adobe 7.0.9 (they told us not to use 8.0) and have attempted to "authorize" my computer for two days now. Everytime I try it, I get the same error message "the adobe DRM activator is not responding". I have turned off my pop-up blocker and disabled the firewall. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

    I am experiencing the same issue as Jennifer. Any suggestions, I've tried downloading and reinstalling with no help. Please provide some feedback.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe elements 10 is not responding--program keeps crashing

    I have elements 10 and it is forever crashing with message "Adobe Elements 10 is not responding."

    Ken, thank you for responding.
    When I get the error, I’m given two options, cancel the program or wait until Elements 10 responds. Some time if I wait long enough it will respond but only to crash again. This seldom happens in Editor.
    This is a new catalogue on the new computer. I never had this problem with earlier versions of Elements—only with 9 and 10.
    Thank you,
    Robert

  • Adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  Need replacement that will work.

    adobe acrobat 5 is not compatible with windows 7.  need a replacement that will work.  any suggestions.

    I would recommend Acrobat 10.  You can find more details as well as a trial at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html?promoid=JOLIR.  It should be noted though that Acrobat 5 is too old of a version to qualify for the upgrade price I am sorry.

  • Adobe reader too slow and "not responding," why?

    I downloaded adobe reader XI (11.0.10) for my touchscreen laptop with Windows 8.1 but when reading PDFs it's scrolls too slow, gets stuck when highlighting or performing other commands, and then I normally get "not responding."
    It's really slowing down my productivity!
    Would appreciate your help please. Thanks

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that does not resolve the problem, please tell us your operating system.

  • When I have several windows open, firefox4 is slow or not responding, why?

    firefox runs very slow and or does not respond.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    Check if there is an update available for your graphics display card driver.

  • Downloading Adobe Assistant Not Responding on Windows XP

    Hello All,
    I am trying to  use Adobe Assistant to download Photoshop CS5 Extended trial on Windows XP but the program freezes everytime.
    I have upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 and ugrades to  Window XP Service Pack 3.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the
    Adobe Download Assistant several times, and every time I attempt to download, the computer freezes.  I have 2GB of RAM, and
    a 250GB HD, Pentium 4 computer.  I believe the computer is strong enough.  What else should I do?

    I end up restarting the computer after it freezes because it does not respond the to the task manager
    to end the program.  The Adobe Download Assistant asks the question about what type of user I am,
    novice, intermediate, or advanced.  After I select novice, a url appears at the top of the Adobe
    Download Assistant window and then program freezes and does not respond to the
    task manager to end program.

  • Adobe premiere elements 11 not responding.

    Adobe premiere elements 11 says, "not responding" and asks me if I want to close the program. I have done this multiple times and nothing has worked. I am getting very frustrated and am not impressed by this program. What can I do to fix it?

    hunttofilmt
    Here is what I was like you to look at and determine if this workflow behaves any differently than the one that you are using now. I am assuming that you are having similar problems with Go Pro Hero 3's 960p @ 48 progressive frames per second and with the Canon's 1080p @ 24 progressive frames per second.
    Let us confine these initial tests to the Canon 1080p24, for now to avoid any complications of editing 960p48 in Premiere Elements.
    1. Open Premiere Elements 11 and go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset to
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p24
    or
    PAL
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p24
    depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
    Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to put a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on this Project.
    2. Import your 1080p24 into the project using Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets.
    3. In Project Assets, double click the file there to open the Preview Window and proceed to trim your video.
    Here is a description of the process from my blog post. Please cross check what you are doing with the steps that I used in the blog post demo.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
    If that is not successful, then stop and let us know.
    If that is successful, then let us look at the 960p48...there is an atypical format for Premiere Elements. Here we are going to set the project preset manually as in the case with the Canon, but here we are going to use the project preset of:
    NTSC
    DV
    Standard
    or
    PAL
    DV
    Standard
    depending on whether you have a NTSC or PAL install for your Premiere Elements 11.
    Before you exit the new project dialog, be sure to have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting for this Project.
    Then continue with the import and trimming of the video in the Preview Window as you did with the 1080p24 footage.
    Looking forward to your results.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On....By the way, how is your external hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? Depending on the results from the above mini tests, please look at importing/trimming one of your 1080p24 in the 1080p24 project but import the 1080p24 from a computer desktop save location instead of the external hard drive.
