Acrobat 8.1.7 -- Error 1920.Service Print Spooler?

I have a valid key on an installed version of Adobe Acrobat 8.1.7. (AA8 Standard installed on a XP system)
It fails to create a PDF document and the Error 1920 apprears before it shuts down.
When, per representative suggestion, I attempt to uninstall it and then re-install with the valid key, it then reports:
Error 1920.Service Print Spooler (Spooler) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services.
I verified that I have a valid key on My Adobe using my email address, etc.
But I see no way out of this 'dead end'.
After attempting to remove or repair the installation in add/remove programs, I get the support info:
Adobe Acrobat 8.1.7 - CPSID_50029
But when I go there I see nothing that tells me how to fix the problem.
How do I unstall and re-install this so I can continue to use my AA8 on my XP system?

David:
I found that helpful input, yes.
The tech I spoke with told me to use a cleaner program to force erasure so
I could reinstall it.
He failed to tell me that you better be sure you have your original disk,
because you can't download AA8 via a web.
The best solution is to upgrade, which I would be more likely consider if
some consideration were given for all the headaches of trying to get AA8
back up and running.
The principal being "If you can't make what I already have work, why should
I pay for your update?"
I will continue to look for the disc and let you know how that goes....

Received error 1920 service print spooler failed to start verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

In installing Adobe XI Pro this error message was received "error 1920 service print spooler failed to start verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". What does this mean and how can I get this installed?

It very much means what it says - you do not have sufficient administrative privileges and something on your system is blocking the (virtual) PDF printer driver from being installed.

Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.

Hi,
When ever I try to install the Apple Mobile Device Support this message shows up "Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I have uninstalled itunes multiple times. I have tried only installing the Apple Moblie Devuce Support by doing the extract file from WinRaff. Nothing has worked. Could you please help me? I'm getting relly frusturated with this whole thing. All I want to do is download songs on to my i-pod.
Thank You,
Aleida H.

I guess the short answer is don't try to pass MSI properties to the installer.
I don't think this is anything your fellow users can help with, but you might want to file a report at Bug Reporter.

Error 1920

I am trying to download Acrobat 9.0 Standard to a new Windows 8 machine. It gets through most of the install when under Status: Starting Services, it hangs on Print Spooler. It sends a message box saying "Error 1920. Service Print Spooler failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." It says retry or cancel.
With retry nothing happens. With cancel, it says "Status: Rolling back action:"

Error when installing Product: BlackBerry Link -- Error 1920.

Hi I get the following installation error for Link:
Product: BlackBerry Link -- Error 1920.Service BlackBerry Link Communication Manager (RIM Tunnel Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I get the option to retry but it won't work.

Tried downloading from the Web and installing and connecting phone to PC. Turned off UAC.

Hey pcamp227,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you have any current security software on the PC? If so what kind? Also go into Start>Control Panel>Adminstrative Tools>Services and is BlackBerry Link Communication Manager listed? If so, click on start the service (make sure you're logged in as the admin).
Once completed then try to access BlackBerry Link.
Let me know if the issue still persists.
Cheers.

Printer Spooler wont work even trying to start it.

Printer Spooler has stop working for some unknown reason? Tried to get it to start, its stating it hasnt got enough resources. I went into control panel to open windows updates folder wont open and computer froze. Tried many ways to get in and I cant access
it. I have a new Canon MX922 drivers are online for windows 8.1 wont allow me to download due to printer spooler. I'm really lost at this point..Please help?? Thank you!

Hello Lschreiv,
If my understanding is right, the Printer Spooler is not running, if you want to start it, it gives the error message ‘it hasn’t got enough resources’.
Do you mean that you can’t open Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update?
Do you mean you can’t install the new printer driver due to the printer spooler? What error message do you receive?
Additionally， have you made any change before this issue？
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories and run printer troubleshooter
2. Disable the service Printer Spooler, uninstall the old printer driver, and then download and install the new printer driver

Jobs stay in queue and keep printing until you cancel them--then stops the print spooler...why?

My Printer: HP Photosmart C309a
My Laptop: HP G71 series
Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit) but runs a lot of stuff on 32 bit
Problem: I print ONE copy of a multiple page document in Adobe Reader 9. I select even pages only (after which I would reinsert the pages and tell it to print odd pages only, to get the other side). The printer makes a sound indicating the job is finished, I remove my pages to collate them, and then the printer continues to print the job again without so much as a keystroke.
Naturally, you find the printer in the devices on the control panel, click "see what's printing" and highlight the job and cancel it.
Then somehow it turns off my print spooler.
I have tried everything suggested on other forums, like
restart the laptop/restart the printer
going to c\windows\system32\spool\printers and deleting whatever is hung up in there (usually a shockwave file).
Going to Services\print spooler \properties and making sure the settings are set to automatic
Uninstall\reinstall latest driver and software
Switching from Adobe Reader 10 to Adobe Reader 9
Use System Restore to try to reset the system to a previous state.
Run Trend Micro to check for viruses and spyware--nothing shows up.
I am positive the pdf doc is NOT the problem, because I can print it on my husband's laptop multiple times over with no problems.
Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a genuine solution other than manually canceling print jobs in queue and constantly restarting the print spooler?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
I believe your printer is wirelessly connected to your computer, right?!
What's the current printer software version installed in your laptop computer?!
to see: click start>control panel>uninstall a program under Programs then it will tell you the software version like HP Photosmart c309a v13 or v14.
If the software version is v13, click here to download and install the current software.
IF all things still fail, try to use the workaround provided by HP in this link. It says:
Workaround
Your HP printing product can operate sufficiently using an alternate print driver, although there might be some limitations. For instance, some buttons on the product control panel might not function, but the product prints normally from the computer. If the solutions in this document do not solve the issue, download and install an alternate print driver.
Follow these steps to install the HP Deskjet 990C print driver.
NOTE: These steps install the new print driver using the same port that the product already uses. The product functions normally with multiple drivers on the same port.
Find the port that the product already uses.
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel . The Control Panel opens in a new window.
Click Hardware and Sounds .
Click Printers . The Printers folder opens.
Right-click the product icon ( ), and then click Properties . The Propertieswindow opens.
Click the Ports tab. A window opens with a list of ports. The port for the product has a checkmark or a highlight.
Note the name of the port indicated for the product.
Close the Properties window, and then continue with the next steps.
Click Add a Printer in the menu bar at the top of the Printers window. The Windows Add Printer Wizard opens.
Click Add a local printer .
Select Use an existing Port .
Click the drop-down menu next to Use an existing Port , and then select the port that you noted earlier in these steps.
Click Next .
In the Manufacturer pane, click HP .
In the Printers pane, click HP Deskjet 990c , and then click Next . (IF YOU CANT FIND DESKJET 990C, JUST CLICK WINDOWS UPDATE WITHIN THIS WINDOW. THEN FIND DESKJET 990C and then click next)
Type a name for the new printer in the Printer name box, or keep the default name.
Select Set as the default printer , and then click Next . A window opens with a progress bar as the printer installs. Then a new window opens.
Click Do not share this printer , and then click Next .
If you want to print a test page, click the Print test page button.
Click Finish to complete the driver installation.
Try printing again, but select HP Deskjet 990c from the Print dialog box.
If this solves the issue, follow these steps to use the HP Deskjet 990c print driver whenever you send print jobs to the product.
In the program you are using, select the option to print. The Print dialog box opens.
Click the Name drop-down menu, and then select HP Deskjet 990c .
Change print settings as desired in the Paper size , Quality , and Paper type drop-down menus.
Select the Print range and Copies options as desired.
Click OK . The product prints the file.

Error 1920. Service 'Office Software Protection Platform' (osppsvc) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

I'm trying to install Microsoft Office 2010 Professional. I am running on Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit. I have previously installed the Microsoft Office 2010 Professional trial version, but later uninstalled it when the trial ran out.
I have tried changing the permissions in Office software Protection Platform. I've also tried running a bat file (it didn't run) and I also tried giving the system all network controls as MS has insisted. Nothing has worked yet. Please help.

Hi tronixmart, the problem is not a bad key. . .
First of all, if you are using Win 7 Home Premium (as I am), Home Basic, or Starter, you will not have a Local Users and Groups option. It is only for Win 7 Ultimate, Professional, or Enterprise.
Jennifer Zhan's second suggestion regarding the changing of 'This account' to 'Local system account' under the "Log on" tab in the properties window of Office Software Protection Platform is better, but still not adequate. If you try this, as I
did, and then manually start Office Software Protection Platform before continuing the Office 2010 installation from the point of error, you will receive a new surprise. The Error 1920 message goes away, but then it is replaced with an oh-so-descriptive dialogue
box telling you that "Microsoft Office 2010 installation encountered an error." Nice.
Changing 'This account' to 'Local system account' is useless, because after the error described above, the system somehow reverts the log on selection for Office Software Protection Platform back to 'This account,' with 'Network service' selected by default.
The better solution is to give the user account called 'Network service' full permissions for the appropriate folders and registry entries. Simply follow these instructions I found on another forum:
In Windows Explorer:
Right Click on the folder OfficeSoftwareProtection Platform
from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared and Microsoft from
C:Program data(hidden folder) Properties > Security > Edit > Add > Type Network Service > OK > Check the Full control box > Apply and OK.
In Registry Editor (regedit.exe):
Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID registry >Right Click on the folder > Permissions > Add > TypeNETWORK SERVICE > OK > Check Full Control > Apply > OK
This worked for me and many others with the same problem, and took mere minutes to do.

Service Error 1920 by installing iTunes 7

Hi
My company have Windows XP and they use active directory. I installed iTunes 7.4.3 on my office PC with admin rights without problems until last week.
Last weekend we installed the newest Windows securitypackages and since then the ipod service cant start anymore. It shows Error 1920: You don't have the permission to start the service. But I installed iTunes with admin rights!
What I have to do?

Why does the iTunes install-routine need the ipod service? I can't setup iTunes anymore because of the ipod service. Could Apple not change it in the way for to start and stop the service manually or to ask by the install-routine for to setup the service or not?

Hi micrey! It works!
1. Type “services.msc” into the Start Search
bar and hit Enter.
2. Find the Windows Font Cache Service, select
it and hit “Stop”.
3. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to “C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local”

4. Delete the FontCache dat files. (They will
be regenerated over time.)
5. Restart the Windows Font Cache Service.
Thank you!

Crystal Ent 10 install fails with Error 1920 and services won't start

apologies if i'm posting to the wrong group. just let me know what the appropriate group is and i'll be happy to post there. i'm new to Crystal and this is my first installation of Ent so i'm completely lost, but here's my problem.
i'm trying to install Crystal Reports 10 and Enterprise 10 on a Windows Server 2003 SP1 server logged in as Local Admin and running the install locally (as opposed from a network location). i have IIS installed and .Net Framework 2.0 installed as per my software vendor's requirements.
the Reports 10 install goes fine, but when i near the end of the Enterprise 10 install, each of the services fails to start. the message for each is a pop-up that states Error 1920. Service 'Crystal Cache Server' (CasheServer) fiailed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services. i clicked Retry on the 1st one (Crystal Cache Server) but it still fails to start. so i clicked Ignore on all of them so i can get past each one and check the Services window to see what account they are running under - it's Local System account as i'd expect. At the end of the install, i'm asked if i want to logon to the CMS and i chose No since i'm not familiar with Crystal at all but figured it's not going to work since the services wouldn't start.
i can't start them from the Services window or from the Crystal Configuration Manager - i get a message stating it failed to start in a timely fashion.
my co-worker and i noticed that after the install, and the MSDE install that CE does, there are the CE10.mdf and CE10.ldf files but it doesn't create 4 tables that expect to see when comparing this to our Test environment that our consultants set up. we think this is at the heart of it, but we simply don't know. can anyone help?

The appropriate group for this type of question is the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forums; I will move your post there today, in the future you can post to that forum.

Error 1920. Service 'Apache Tomcat 5.5.20' (BOE120Tomcat) failed to start

Hi,
I want to install a BOE and be able to save Crystal Reports which report data off SAP system. The following is what I did:
1. Install JDK and Tomcat 5.5
2. Install BOE XI 3.1 SP2 and deploy it to the existing Tocat
The reason that I manually installed the JDK and Tomcat5.5 is because I got the "Error 1920. Service u2018Apache Tomcat 5.5.20u2019(BOE120Tomcat) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." when I chose the option that let BOE install everything for me. I could not find the reason why the BOE120Tomcat could not start so I install it manually and deploy BOE on it.
3. Install SAP GUI 7.1
4. Install Java connector 2.1.8
5. Install BOE Integration kit for SAP Solutions XI 3.1
But after I complete step 5, the infoviewApp and CmcApp do not work. I use the tomcat web application manager, both of these two applications are stopped and can not start.
Does anyone know how can I start the infoviewApp and the cmcApp?
Thanks,
Vicky

Hi Ingo,
I looked through the log file: SAPik_0.log and found some message saying that the installation package is against software restriction policy, it is not digitally signed and is permitted to run at the 'unrestricted' authorization level, etc. The following is the log in the end of the log file:
