Acrobat 7.1.0 update halted by fatal error; how to uninstall?

I've been running Acrobat 7.0.9 on Windows XP with no problems. I just tried to install the 7.1.0 update. When I told it OK to reboot, I got a fatal error in the installation. I rebooted manually, and then got the same fatal error.
My PDF files now have no associated program. If I go directly to the acrobat.exe file and try to run it, I get a fatal error.
How can I uninstall the update, or else make it finish? Any idea what would cause this?

Hello, just found this thread - I did download and install the Acrobat Professional 7.1.0 update yesterday (as part of my troubleshooting for another problem I posted about), and it went fine for me, and now my About screen in Acrobat says I'm on ver. 7.1.0.
XP pro operating system.
Not sure what this means in light of the other posts on this topic, but I thought I'd mention it in case it helps.

Acrobat 9.5.1 update on Windows XP Error 1321 solutions don't work

Acrobat 9.5.1 update on Windows XP Error 1321 solutions don't work. I can't uninstall program. Error upon error.

Hi John,
I'm trying to install the SunMC 3.5.1 Console on
Windows XP with not much success. The install
displays the initial splash screen, but then fails
with the error :
The install wizard cannot proceed.
Aborting installation now...First, are you installing from a complete SunMC CD or CD image? If you just copied some files out of a CD/image you may have missed some jar files.
SunMC Consoles don't like to share systems with older versions of themselves. Try moving/renaming the directory your 3.5 Console is installed in (or uninstall it if you don't need it),... then try putting 3.5.1 in again.
All my demos/work/courses are on 3.5.1 on an XP laptop, so I know it works.
I think it's probably just not happy about 3.5 already being installed... so just move it out of the way for awhile to get 3.5.1 in (then put 3.5 back so you can have them both).
Regards,
Mike
The Java version is 1.4.2_03 .
The Release Notes etc don't give any clues.
Strangely, SunMC 3.5 works fine on this desktop..
Any ideas as to where I can go from here? This is
effectively stopping me from going from SMC 3.5 to
3.5.1, unless I can get the Console working..
Has anyone else had problems with SMC 3.5.1 on XP?
Thanks in advance.
John

Acrobat X Pro does not open, gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"

Acrobat X Pro does not open and gives fatal error - "Acrobat failed to send a DDE command"
It either does the above or the application starts and is listed in the system processes but never physically opens on the desktop for viewing.

AA 9 will not work for anything but the print function from WORD 2010. The only version of Acrobat that is compatible with OFFICE 2010 for PDF Maker is AA X. Thus, open WORD and print to the Adobe PDF printer. Then open the pdf in Acrobat. Go to FORMS>Add or Edit fields. Since you have no fields at present, Acrobat will ask if you would like to detect form fields. Answer yes and you will get a first cut at the form fields. Yes, you will likely have to add some more and change the ones that Acrobat estimates, but you are on your way.
The other two options you have is to go back to WORD 2007 or earlier or upgrade to AA X (or find someone with AA X and WORD 2010). These methods are pretty much your options with the software combination that you have.

OS 10.3.1 Update - issues and question on how to uninstall / rollback

Hi.
Up front, I'm trying to remain calm, professional, objective. Pretty sure I've missed the mark, but, then, read on...
I'm having some issues with OS 10.3.1 update. Before anyone says search the boards, I have. For hours. On various websites. I'd appreciate (but am not hopeful for) an official response from BlackBerry.
1. I am using a Z30. Carrier is Rogers Wireless (Canada) Updates are set to off. Yet, unbelievably, the update came down anyway, when I was driving, didn't know until I got home. Device rebooted and now 10.3.1xxxx is on my smartphone.
ISSUES:
1. The screen blacks out. EVERY TIME I wake it, the display is zoomed in. I have to gesture and gesture and gesture to get the display to fit the screen so I can unlock the phone.
2. The home screen is not customisable, and is the default. Now I have to swipe to get to either the hub or my applications. Twice the work = 1/2 the productivity.
3. The much-vaunted Assistant does what, exactly? All I know is when I did voice dialing via Bluetooth earpiece, the call would (75% of the time) be made. The other 25% of the time, I have to tell it "Call Mom Home" is not the same as "search battery charge". Yeah, my bluetooth is a very expensive, highly-rated one that has no issues in recognition with any other device. Now, the Voice part (Assistant?) doesn't make ANY calls. At best, it offers me suggestions, usually not related (Linda <> Tom) and wastes my time reading out multiple PHONE NUMBERS. Good grief, If I knew the darn phone number, I'd just tell it, Call (phone number). It'd be faster than sitting through all that. Otherwise, Voice Assistant whatever doesn't do much of anything for me. I have it set, as far as I can tell, to do the minimum, not interact with everything on my phone.
4. Although the new Camera app now (finally!) renders colours more-or-less correctly, whereas before everything was tinted blue, I'm not a fan of the new positioning of the controls. Putting the video button beside the "Take picture" button is ridiculous. The touch sensitivity is so off, that I find myself recording video rather than taking a wanted picture --- and the moment is lost. I really miss being able to tap the screen to take a picture. Now I have to aim for a small dot at the bottom. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought an iPhone!
5. More on the Camera front, it's now difficult to get to photos. As in, I touch the icon to bring up the list of photos, and the latest shot never appears. I have to swipe to find it. And in a different direction now.
6. In the Hub, especially, the "select multiple" used to be right in the middle of the menu. Now I have to scroll down to find and activate it.
7. What's with the honking battery drain? More tinkering required on my part to get it back to the 4-day standby I used to enjoy?
MISSED FEATURES UPDATES:
1. I was really hoping this latest update with display the NUMBER of the phone entry. Such as Work 1, Work 2, etc. I find it useful to assign direct number always as Work 1, then toll free as Work 2, Main reception as Work 3, Home as Work 4, and so on. Then it's easy to use (or used to be) voice dialling to call the number I want without knowing what the number actually is. I was also hoping the update would eliminate that so offensive message "next time, just say call xxxxx Mobile 2" or whatever. Which I darn well would, if there was anything in the contacts to display the sequence of numbers.
2. Calendar. Seriously, why can't I set a reminder for somewhere between 3 and 7 days???? I'm so tired of setting one for (7-3) days, doing the calculation in my head to bypass weekends or other events) then having to update the reminder when I get to the BlackBerry-approved 3 day range. Other smart phones allow any custom setting. Allow me to also ask, put the custom reminder FIRST. Don't make us scroll all the way to the bottom to find it!
3. Allow me to put my most-used icons on the fricking HOME SCREEN! I don't care about the cutesy pictures. I care about getting my job done as quickly and conveniently as possible.
4. Fix the darn voice control mechanism. I bought expensive Bluetooth pieces. All I want to do is do voice dialling. That's it.
5. Give me some control over the spell check. There's no way to edit the words that are "learnt" through monitoring usage.
6. Enough with the US-marketing. Mountain Time is Mountain Time. Not US-Mountain Time. I'm not picking something like that, I don't care who that offends. It's as dumb as as settting time zones (as Apple used to) to "Calgary, Alberta." I don't live in Calgary. I do live in the GENERIC Mountain time Zone.
7. Speaking of, I also speak English. Not US-English with US-spelling. How about giving Canada some love
8. Give me the option to rollback the update. Or at least choose which parts I want.
9. Expand support for file formats. At this point, I can only load documents onto my smartphone if they're Adobe or Microsoft Office. Here's the thing - I operate in the Corel WordPerfect universe. So the Z30 is limited in what I can / can't do with it. Why on earth can't I just copy my FILES to my phone? Even if I can't edit them, I can use the whopping 64 GB memory chip as a flash drive to take my files with me when I travel. I don't always take a computer ...sometimes I use what's at destination. Plus having them on the phone SHOULD allow me to email them or send in other ways...whether or nor BlackBerry can read them.
===================
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE:
Better - release an immediate UPDATE to fix these problems and add the features I've noted above. Surely I'm not the only one struggling with the built-in limitations of the interface and info-displays.
Please tell me how I can rollback / uninstall / whatever this "update".
I shudder to think the only solution is to backup, restore, then reload the Z30. Others have tried and have not been successful.
MORE VENTING;
The only reason I'm still on BlackBerry is that the issues and to an extent a difference in perspective regarding phone layout / features are still less problematic on BB Z30 than they are on ios or android platforms. Absolutely in my opinion. But then, I'm the one with a frustration level well into the redline.
Thanks for reading. I'll be even more grateful for some resolution.

Error 4014 Severity 16 State A fatal error occurred while reading the input streamfrom the network

We encounter following error intermittently Error 4014 Severity 20 State 16 , A fatal error occurred while reading the input stream from the network
I have checked the RING_BUFFER_CONNECTIVITY from sys.dm_os_ring_buffers, we are able to find the remote_host IP where connections are being closed/killed, the error being logged in sys.dm_os_ring_buffers, comes from multiple remote_host, we have raised
to O/s and Networking Team they seem to have no clue, why this error occurs
Server: Virtual Machine
Operating System: WINDOW 2008 R2 SP1
MSSQL 2008 STD ED SP3 10.0.5850.0
Database mirroring is configured for the application database.
Antivirus enable on the database server
How do we find the cause for this error being logged in SQL server logs, is this error due to SQL database mirroring or memory issue?
What needs to be checked on the O/s and Network, I have been checking on the internet and everywhere it is pointing to NIC drivers or security patches
Also in the system events following error was being logged, but after restarting the vm service this error has not re-occurred
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the VMTools service
Kindly suggest on Error 4014 Severity 20 State 16, A fatal error how to resolve
[email protected]

Hello,
Could you try to use Network Monitor or WireShark to examine if the connections resets are coming from a client computer
or from the host where SQL Server is installed?
Network Monitor can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4865
If you use Network Monitor trace you will identify connection resets by looking for “TCP: Flags=,,R.A” at the description column on the Frame Summary. Once you find the flag, the Source column will tell you the identity of the host resetting the connection,
maybe is not the SQL Server host.
Hope this helps.

PLSQL Fatal Error

Hi,
Can I exactly find the root cause of PLSQL Fatal error , how
can I debug this issue i have been stuck here and unable to diagnose the exact
problem from where this error is occurring, I’ve tried many things but all my
efforts ended in smoke L
Thanks

Most probably, if you are trying to convert a string to number or date to character or something else, this type or error you may get.
First try to run your query with parameter (if any) in a sql*plus or any sql tester and use it in reports.
Another issues if you are using formula column and write something above or mismatch declaration or return type, you may get the error.
Hope this helps

Acrobat 8.1.2 Standard fatal error when viewing header

When I try to view Document - Header & Footer the program will draw the editing window and then has a fatal error which says "Acrobat 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close". There is the opportunity to send this info to Microsoft. This also happens when using the Document - Background or Watermark menus. All other parts of the program seem OK.
I've tried the Repair feature, no difference.
Any clues?
Oddly, it works fine on a Win Vista machine, but not on a Win XP SP3 machine.
Thanks GSpence

Cure seems to be to replace the newest version of ADMplugin.apl with the version contained in the original package as referenced in the thread 'Acrobat 8.1 Always Crashes with "admplugin.apl" reference??'.
This works! GS
Sexy Erudit - 3:54pm Mar 15, 08 PST (#3 of 6)
Hi Guys,
I had the same problems as the ones you stated above. Tried EVERYTHING ! lol Install / Uninstall with removal of all Adobe physically related files, cleaned the registry... To no avail.... Untill....
I found the solution !!!!
The problem is definitely related to the "admplugin.apl" file. For some reason it seems to be corrupted in the 8.1.x updates. Simply find the file in the original 8.0 Professional package (should be in the "Data1.cab" file) and simply copy over the newer file (in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\SPPlugins ).
Everything should be working well after that (I couldn't have access to "Preferences", "Optimize", "Reduce File Size" even "Search"). I now have a fully fonctional version.
Hope this post will help out !
Cheers !

I have Acrobat XI on a PC and have received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server." Acrobat will not open now. How do I regain access to the program?

I have Acrobat XI on PC. After trying to convert a webpage to PDF, I received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server." Now, the program will not open. How do I regain access to the program?

I have Acrobat XI Pro and have been experiencing all sorts of "freeze ups" with it ever since Adobe released the new Acrobat DC the other week. I see that an automatic update was pushed down to my Acrobat XI Pro at the same time. Is this the first issue you have encountered with your Acrobat XI, or have you been having other issues suddenly as well?? Just wondering ...

Fatal error Acrobat failed to connect to DDE Server

I just purchased the Adobe Acrobat xI Pro & installed. I get a Fatal Error message when I try to open the program. I am running Windows7. What is the problem?

Hi HP2,
Try launching the application as Administrator and check.
Also update Acrobat to the latest patch i.e. v11.0.08 and check.
You might also want to repair Acrobat from the Control Panel> programs and check.

After Acrobat 10.1.8 update, Distiller error

I recently pushed via AutoIT script the Acrobat 10.1.8 Pro update only to users who already had Acrobat X installed (a small test group in IT before deploying to almost 300). After the update ran, all of them got an error message. Title bar: Acrobat Distiller, Message: Error initializing interpreter: Fatal error, with OK and X the only options. They were able to open Acrobat X Pro successfully after this and the update had been applied. I need to get this error resolved before deploying the the rest of the users.
We're on Windows 7 Pro SP1. We did recently upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.05, though I'm not sure if these folks have both installed. I always recommend to remove Reader before installing Acrobat Pro.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error. I am running Mac OS 10.10.1. This only started happening when I installed the update of Adobe Acrobat.

Hi MEW1,
Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

A fatal error has occured while updating your device's software

I have a problem I hope you guys can help me.
Blackberry Model: 8820
Device Software version: 4.5.0.55
Desktop Software version: 4.7.0.37
Carrier: Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd(https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do)
Everytime I start up my desktop software, it would prompt me that there are newer versions for some of the applications in my blackberry such as my browser, brickbreaker etc. So I followed through their instructions to install these updates. When it reached step 3/11, an error would occur while it say it was trying to turn on my radio
Here's the screenshot of the error:
[URL=http://img199.imageshack.us/i/errortac.jpg/][IMG]http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/761/errortac.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
But I do observed that @ task 1/11, it switched off my radio. @ task 3/11 it tried to switch back on again. thats when the error occured.
when I unplugged my device after the error, I saw that my mobile connection was off and my blackberry had to re-connect again. I do admit that my area has pretty bad reception, but that cant be the problem right?
On top of that, maybe I also like to pop another 2 questions:
1) Why is it I cant set up my email? I followed the instructions here:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/blackberry101/setup.jsp#tab_tab_email
but my setup wizard dont have the option to select "I want to create or add an email address"
I only gives me the option of the enterprise mail
2) I tried to browse to to te blackberry website using my blackberry, but its says my device is not supported. Any way to solve this?
