Acrobat 9 Standard Crashes Windows XP SP3 -restarts computer-

I installed Acrobat 9 Standard. When I attempt to export pages from an PDF it crashes windows. There is a Blue Screen of death but it flashes to quick for me to read it. The file is not corrupted because I went to another computer and did the same thing with out crashing.
I've uninstalled the program
reinstalled the program
deleted the preferences
repaired the program
changed profiles
loaded it without extra applications
... nothing seems to keep this from crashing windows...
My workstation is a Dell Optiplex 755 running Windows XP sp3 with 3.25gb RAM.
Please help

BSODs are caused by bad hardware, flakey drivers or a bad BIOS.

    Hi Dcee3,
    Acrobat Standard has not been developed for Mac platform so Mac version is not available. It can only run on windows machine.

  • Acrobat 9 crashes Windows XP

    I've used Acrobat 9 for a few years with no problem.  But recently, reading a standalone PDF file crashes Windows XP.  If I try to create a PDF file, Windows XP crashes.  If I try to uninstall Acrobat 9, XP crashes.  But...I can view PDF files in Internet Explorer and everything is fine.
    Anti-virus software tells me everything is fine.  Does anyone have an idea why the simple task of even viewing a PDF file will cause Windows XP to crash? 
    All other software appears to be working normally, so this is really confusing, not to mention frustrating.

    If the above does not apply then you can re-create the Acrobat preferences file to eliminate problems caused by a damaged preferences file.  However, you may want to test whether it is the preference file that is causing the problem.  To do this, create a temporary user account on your XP and then try using the Acrobat.  If it works normally then you know it is the preference file that is a problem. Now try these steps in your old account that is problematic:
    Note: Re-creating the Acrobat preferences files restores settings to their defaults.
    1. Quit Acrobat.
    2. Rename (by inserting - old) the following files in the Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences folder:
    *Acrobat WebCapture Cookies
    *Com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_ppc_9.0.plist or com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist
    *Acrobat Distiller Prefs and com.adobe.distiller8.plist (If you are troubleshooting an issue with Distiller.)
    *The Acrobat folder, which contains preferences for forms (MRUFormsList), collaboration (OfflineDocs), and color settings (AcrobatColor Settings.csf)
    3.Restart Acrobat.
    If the problem recurs after you re-create the Acrobat preferences files, then the problem isn't related to preference files. You can rename the old files to what they were before after deleting the new files created by the system.  this step is optional because the new files are likely to be better than old one anyway IMHO.
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 6 & Windows 8

    I own Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.
    Can I use it on a Windows 8.1 computer?
    If not, can I upgrade Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 at minimal cost?
    I will be purchasing a new Windows 8.1 laptop and discarding my old laptop.

    You may be able to get it to work with some workarounds that I have tried on various Win7 versions. The 64-bit system creates additional problems, so you may want to ask if a 32-bit system will meet your need. Even with the workarounds (if they would work for you), the extra effort to use them gets annoying quickly. You would also have problems reading a lot of newer PDFs I would guess. Now is probably the time to purchase a new version (as TSN, AA6 does not qualify for an upgrade). There was a sale before Christmas, but not sure if there will be another.

  • How to re-install Adobe Acrobat Standard XI after re-format my computer?

    Hi,. I purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard XI last year and I re-formated my computer 1 month ago and all software have been removed from my computer including the Adobe Acrobat Standard XI. I would like to know how can I retrieve/ re-install it? I tried to log in to the Adobe website but not sure how to do it. I am using Windows 8.   I will be grateful if someone can help

    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. You can log into your account at Adobe (ID probably the same you used to post here) to get your S/N as long as you registered. When you are successful, be sure to backup the install file and your S/N to a backup HD and/or CD so it is available in the future.

  • Purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC (Windows,English). Will not install.

    I just purchased and downloaded Adobe Reader CC and getting "Serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."

    Which did you download? Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?
    It sounds like Adobe Acrobat Standard if it's asking you for a serial number.
    Which one are you trying to download?

  • Windows Update froze, restarted computer, can't boot into anything

    Before I start, I've had to resort to my iPhone for this thread creation.
    I had finally got vista installed via boot camp (obviously), and I was playing Gears of War. The game would freeze occassionally, so I was checking the Internet out, and remembered a story not too long ago about GFW-Live update that came out last month. I ran a form of Windows Update to check for it, and came up two things for GFW, plus a .NET SP 1 update as well. I say a "form" of WU because I didn't open WU from the control panel, but from a website that opened this window on my computer for GFW specifically.
    Here's where things went downhill. When WU got around to the .NET thing, the progress would fill up, then start again. It kept doing this over and over. I checked online for anything, and it referrred me to open WU itself. 62 important updates, 84 altogether. So I said "let's just do this".
    Well, it was doing it's thing, and number 14 was the .NET thing from before. I was afraid it would hang up, and it did just that. Telling it to stop didn't do a thing, so I shut the computer down the bad way, which was the only way to, unfortunately. Task manager couldn't do anything for me, again.
    After about 10 reboots and attempts to get into safe mode and getting nowhere but to the initial loading bar, which would freeze, I went to reboot into OS X. Same problem. It's freezing at the apple logo. I inserted the OS X disk to see what I could do, and that froze (yes, im holding option to select the cd at boot up). I recently upgradedy HDD, so my computer illiterate side of me is screaming "hard drive problem".
    Here's my proposed solution: Swap the old HDD back in, use the disk to reinstall OS X, and use my time machine back up to get back on my computer in at least some form. CCC my internal to external. Put new HDD back in, erase, reformat, repartition, reinstall windows.
    Anybody have a solution asides from my apocalyptic view?

    Well, a little over a week, and no response. Not even Microsoft could help. But I did find the problem, if anyone else ever has this problem:
    Windows Update (WU) did not recognize I did not have Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 installed. So, it tried to install updates that weren't compatible with my system. I had to go to Microsoft's website to download both SP1 and SP2 (WU didn't have either one of them in the update list). Having to install SP1 before SP2 is absolutely stupid; SP2 should supersede SP1 in all aspects, or at least include SP1's update files in itself.
    After applying both SPs (of course, after installing the Boot Camp driver from the OS X disk), I could finally run WU and install all available updates. Computer runs just fine now.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard Installation Manual

    I am trying to do something very simple: Find an installation manual for Acobe Acrobat Standard.
    When I go to the Adobe site, here is what I'm trying to do:
    Go to Support & Learning -> I Need Help -> Products
    Choose Acrobat
    Click "Acrobat X Standard Help"
    Click "Getting Started and Tutorials" (takes me to: http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/gettingstarted/)
    Click "Downloading, installing, and setting up" (takes me to http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html)
    Click Acrobat X Pro | Help (takes me to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/index.html)
    Click "Getting Started and Tutorials" (takes me to: http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/gettingstarted/)
    At this point, Step 7 has taken me back to Step 4. 
    WHERE IN GODS NAME IS AN INSTALLATION MANUAL???
    The Adobe site literally takes me around in circles.

    This is for a large IT department, and for traceability we need to show that instructions were followed, as provided by the manufacturer/publisher. While I agree that it is "self evident" for the most part, we need to have documentation attesting to decisions such as making Acrobat Standard the default application for users -- what does this mean? Is this for the local user, or is it for all users on the machine? If Acrobat Standard is the default for ".pdf" files, are there any other files (as identified by extension) that it opens by default?  What about PDFMaker/Office integration -- what options are available through the installer for controlling who has access to that? E.g. If we purchase a single license of Acrobat Standard, but it is a shared computer (with independent logins), how do we ensure we are not in violation of licensing? 
    These are things that should be addressed during installation.
    But the fact that this is a paid product, and it doesn't have an installation manual, is the bicker pain in my side right now.

  • Using the SDK in a C# program with Acrobat Standard (License question)

    Hi,
    we have purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard and installed it on a Computer to edit pdf documents.
    Basically, we delete some pages at the end of document as they contain superfluos information.
    As there is a naming convention in these files that tells us how many pages have to be deleted, we want to use the Acrobat SDK to delete the pages automatically.
    Is that ok or would we need to purchase a special license for the Acrobat SDK?
    Cheers,
    Helmut

    As long as the computer is only performing the task for a single individual (since you only have a single copy) - that’s fine.  It cannot, however, perform this operation for multiple people.

  • Restarting Computer

    Hi All,
    Does anyone ever heard of this problem before.
    I can boot up and shut down my computer fine with no problems. However when (from Windows) I select restart computer, it never gets past the POST. It just freezes and I have to turn it off and then back on.
    Anyone ever come across this before (and knows a solution!)
    Thanks
    Steve

    - It allways have done this or began doing after some change you did ?
    - For trouble shooting purposes you should not o/c. Run your CPU at stock speed.
    - Known problem when you run KT6 Mobos with less than 18A. in 12v. rail.
    - As you describe it, looks as a Wind. problem. If you press reset button when in DOS does it happens also ?

  • Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when closing a pdf

    Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when I close a pdf. This means that if I have multiple files open, all of them close. I get an error message from windows that the problem is due to windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). I tried making Adobe an exception to windows' DEP and re-started the computer but this did not help the problem. Any ideas about how to fix this problem?

    So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
    If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
    If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
    Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
    Thank you so much in advanced.

  • What is the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Standard that runs on Windows XP SP3? I currently have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0. Thanks!

    What is the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Standard that runs on Windows XP SP3? I currently have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0.0. Thanks!

    The current updates 10.1.13 and 11.0.10 no longer support Windows XP SP3.  The last versions to test were 10.1.10 and 11.0.3 I think.   But I wouldn't recommend using those because of the Security Updates in between those versions and the current updates.  Microsoft doesn't even support Windows XP SP3 any longer. I would say to try updating both the OS and the applications.

  • I purchased acrobat standard but have a mac computer. Received response not available for mac only windows. Unable to install on windows with mac

    Please direct me as to how to install acrobat standard on mac computer. I had trial basis and now my computer is all fouled up and message received that must be installed on windows computer. How do I handle this dilemma.

    If you have Acrobat Standard, it is Windows software. You cannot install Windows software on your Mac.
    If it was purchased, get a refund.
    If it was bundled, then you just can't use it.
