Winword.exe process starts at startup after installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard

I installed Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Dell Latitude D610 running Windows XP Service Pack 3.  Every time the machine is started up, Winword.exe appears in the Processes tab of task manager using up to 100% of the CPU.  Word itself does not open.  If I cancel the Winword.exe process, CPU usage drops to more usual levels.  Starting Word also pushes CPU usage up to 100%.  This did not occur before Acrobat X was installed.  I used System restore to restore to a point before Acrobat was installed and the problems with Word did not occur.  Re-installed Acrobat X and the problems re-appeared.  System restore back to a previous point and the problems disappeared. I am using Word 2000.
Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.

I don't believe Acrobat X supports Word 2000. There could be some strange incompatibility. Since you have a bright and shiny Acrobat X, maybe its time to update Word and Windows, if for no other reason that the more modern versions are much more secure.

  • PDFMaker in Excel 2010 does not appear after installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

    I installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard for a user here at work on her computer with Windows XP and Office 2010 installed. She wanted the feature and/or plug-in that allows her to "Save as Adobe PDF" in Excel 2010 and then able to add/remove pages from a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 like this:
    Which brings it to this screen:
    We saw this feature with someone who has Acrobat X Standard. Is this feature available in Acrobat 9? If so, how do we enable it? We updated Acrobat 9 and nothing showed up.

    The PDFMaker function of Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Office 2010: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
    You can use Acrobat 9 to create PDF files though by choosing File > Print within Excel and selecting the Adobe PDF printer. 
    Wish I had better news for you!
    Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • The "File Edit View Window Help" menu disappears after opening Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    After installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard, when I run the program the "File Edit View Window Help" menu is visible for only a brief second then disappears.  I tried to press F11 or other functions keys to bring it back.  I also installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro which I also have a license for and it would do the exact same thing. Reinstalling the programs did not seem to resolve the problem.  Is there an issue inside the registry?

    Thank you for your comment.  However, F9 does not seem to work.
    When I press F9, the menu bar appears but the words "File Edit View Window Help" are still missing.  
    When I press F9 again the menu bar will close.
    This is a screen capture before the words "File Edit View Window Help" disappear.  After only about a second they are gone.

  • After installing Adobe Acrobat XI, PDMaker does not appear in Lotus Notes 9

    Hi
    We have installed Lotus Notes 9 onto our PC (Multi User Installed) followed by Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
    We are unable to get the PDFMaker on the Lotus Notes toolbar anymore.
    We are running Windows 7 Pro 64 bits
    Our system have got 8GB of Ram.
    Onboard Graphic etc
    Did anyone have got this similar experienced? If you got a solution, may I know how you go about resolving it?
    Cheers.
    Simon

    First off, you posted in the wrong forum. This is the Adobe Reader forum, not the Acrobat forum...
    Anyway: It seems that Lotus Notes 9 is not compatible with any version of the PDFMaker plugin. At least that's what I gather from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html

  • How can I re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Standard on the same machine

    My machine had crashed and so I can't deactivate Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.  How can I re-install on the machine?  There are no ways to contact customer support to reset the count as suggested in one of the forum post. What are my options?
    Thanks.

    Hey,
    Please elaborate your issue. Why would you want to deactivate your acrobat xi?
    Moreover as you mentioned that your machine crashed.. so do you mean that you have lost access to your operating system and all its files?
    Regards,

  • Unable to Print After Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader Upgrades.

    . What software version of Abobe Acrobat Reader should be used for an HP PhotoSmart Plus printer? I currently have Adobe version  9.3 installed. I receive pop-up notices to install new Adobe Acrobat Reader software upgrades. I have installed the software upgrades and then my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer was unoperational. I deleted the Adobe software upgrades and my HP PhotoSmart Plus printer began to operate. I contacted HP technical support and was told there is no compatibility issues between Adobe Acrobat Reader and HP All-in-One Products. It might be a problem with the specific Adobe software upgrades. HP requested that I contact Adobe support for problem resolution. Has this problem ever happened to you? Any problem resolutions would be appreciated.

  • Slow Startup after installing Adobe Reader X and 9.4

    Okay, I've been using Reader 9 since before i can remember, without any problems!  Now, after I install Reader X or 9.4, my computer will take about 5 minutes to startup.  After startup I have no problems with programs or performance.  What's wrong?  Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get Adobe Reader 9?

  • Installing Adobe Acrobat XI Standard results in most of its Add-Ons being incomatible

    Using Win7 64x, IE 11
    I installedAcrobat XI Standard, using the "Install the most common features" option. After the install, most of the Add-Ons had a Status of Incompatible and Archittecture of 32-bit.Is there an option to install in a 64-bit achitecture? If not, does anyone have an alternate sugestion?

    That's probably a more generic problem like for instance the MSVC runtimes on your system not being correctly installed. You can do that manualyl by downloading them from Microsoft in a suitable version.

  • Is there a way to install Adobe Acrobat XI Standard for Windows on Mac?

    Dear Acrobat Support Team!
    I bought a Fujitsu Scanner with Adobe XI Standard.
    Unfortunately, the software is only for PC and I am a Mac user. Is there a way for me to use this software or serial key on my  Mac?
    Thank you very much, ShuretzZ

    Only by running Windows (Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop). You'd also have to buy a copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.
