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 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.

    Do you have Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8? Or Adobe Reader XI for Windows desktop?

  • Adobe Downloading Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 MultipleLanguages Windows  The Akamai Download Manager has encountered an fatal error: File not found.

    I am trying to download the trial of PSE 13 which consists of two files. The first downloads ok but on the second I get this message:
    Downloading Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 MultipleLanguages Windows
    The Akamai Download Manager has encountered an fatal error: File not found.
    Same thing happens if I try to download the files individually and also in different browsers. Any ideas?

    Me three.   I have been trying for hours, and have used three different browsers. 
    I have just noticed that the URL it is trying to use is looking for ...win32.exe under a directory called win64. That sounds like a stupid typo mistake.  I manually modified the URL to this instead (and it downloaded something)...
    http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PSE/13/win32/PhotoshopElements_13_LS25_win32.exe
    Now I just need to figure out how to install the product manually using the two downloaded files!?!

    How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

    IMHO Windows would be the place to start.
    Why do you want to load CS5 for Windows?
    Adobe does produce a version of CS5 that runs on OS X so that it would not be necessary for you to have to screw around with Windows. Personally that would be the way to go and avoid the hassles of Windows.

  • Where can I download adobe File Packager tool for Windows?

    Dear all,
    I need to understand the detail format of f4f files, but the only useful information I can find is the following:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/httpdynamicstreaming/pdfs/httpdynamicstreaming_wp_ue.pdf
    Is there more detail specification for f4f ?
    Where can I download adobe File Packager tool for Windows?
    It seems to me the following specification is not correct for f4f, at least the parts talking about "mdat" box
    http://download.macromedia.com/f4v/video_file_format_spec_v10_1.pdf
    Thanks,
    Xuedong

    As per your question – follow this link http://www.adobe.com/products/adobe-media-server-family.html, download and install AMS Starter, then inside \tools\f4fpackager you’d find the F4F packager command-line application.

  • Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

    Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11.  I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies. I even uninstalled and re-installed IE 11. It is still doing it.  I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
    Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2.  Then when you click on it the next error message says:  PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
    Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
    As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI.  Any ideas?

  • Adobe photoshop not responding or wanting to close

    i had a lot of pictures in adobe photoshop album 2.0 and it started freezin g up, i had to restart my computer every time i scrolled down to a certain spot.i have deleted all of my pictures,i want to know what happened before i decide to put pictures back in adobe photoshop.i don't want to go through this again.it said adobe photoshop not responding and adobe photoshop is trying to close.does anyone know what the problem was,i had 765 pictures in adobe when this happened.

    Hi,
    I guess 765 pictures are not the problem because I usually have much more pictures in my catalog. I doubt if some video files are causing problem. If you have video files in your catalog and try upgrading your QuickTime version.
