Acrobat does not start after installation

Recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard, did the fresh installation and ran the program.  Nothing appears...
Searched web and forums and tried adobe cleaner, acrofix, renaming cache file but no luck.
Tried uninstalling / re-installing (using cleaner too) as well.
I do not have any creative suite products installed on this PC.  (only Adobe products I have installed are: reader, AIR, flash)
This seems to be a well known issue.  Is there anything I can try other than the ones I mentioned above?

I am experiencing the exact same issues as minc76274552 except that I have the acrobat 11 Pro.
I have been unable to get any assistance at all from adobe, with the exception of this forum, and this is my first post.  No chat, no phone numbers - really frustrating!
No errors at installation - I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times thinking something must have gone awry.  Nothing helps.  When I try to star the program, either by double clicking on a pdf or from the shortcut, I get a rotating circle for a few seconds (like it is starting) and then it just goes away, nothing happens.
I haven't tried starting as an administrator, but I'll try that next....

  • Oracle Service does not start after installation of Domain role

    Hi all,
    here is my setting:
    Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
    ORACLE ONE 11g
    I installed the database and it was working fine until I installed the domain controller role on this server.
    Finally I needed to uninstall this role again and restarted the server several times during this process.
    Now I can not access the database anymore. Listener starts, then stops.
    database service stops with Windows Service Error "Could not start in a timely fashion..." (but quite immediately after starting)
    Checking the database installation, I could not find the ORACLE HOME path in the env variables anymore, also not a trace of other ORACLE paths there.
    This database is REALLY important to me, so if you have an idea how to restore the original state, I would be glad.
    And NO , I haven´t made a backup, since it was more or less 1 day between db setup and domain role setup...
    Thanks in advance...

    And No, you shouldn't have installed Oracle on a Domain Controller in the first place, as the activity of a Domain Controller will impair the database performance heavily.
    So the best solution is CTRL-ALT-DEL and start all over again.
    If the database is that important for you, why didn't you install it on a real OS, and why for heaven's sake did you promote the database server to a domain controller?

  • My MacBook Pro, does not start after pushing start button. The side bar starts and stops at half way.

    My MacBook Pro, does not start after pushing start button. The side bar starts and stops at half way.

    Hy myneck,
    Happy Holidays!  The resource below may provide some steps to try if your MacBook Pro won't start.
    Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1367
    This article discusses what to do if your Mac won't turn on. To differentiate this from a display issue, be sure that when you press the power button:
    You don't hear a startup chime.
    You don't hear any fan or drive noise.
    There is no video on your built-in or external display
    If your computer has power but doesn't display any video, it may have one or more of these similar symptoms when you press the power button:
    You may hear a startup chime.
    You may hear fan or drive noise.
    You may see a light from the Sleep LED (if your Mac has one).
    Pressing the Caps Lock key on the keyboard causes it to light. 
    If any of these display-related conditions occur, see Troubleshooting: My computer has no video instead. Otherwise, continue with this article.
    If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
    Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
    If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter. 
    Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
    Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
    If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

    If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

  • HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

    My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

    "UPAD lite?"
    I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • RAC does not start after trying to move storage

    Hello,
    We have a two nodes RAC Oracle 10g and ASM groups defined on one external storage.
    RAC does not start after we reformated the storage to RAID 10.
    What we did:
    1) deleted the database
    2) reformated the external storage to RAID 10 and defined needed volumes for OCR, VotingDisk and ASM
    3) on both nodes
    - recreated VotingDisk

  • 16 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging

    Hi,
    4 weeks ago I bought my x-Fi style and used it during my holidays for 2 weeks. After charging the player only twice (USB-connection with notebook), it now fails starting. Maybe there is an internal temperature fuse to protect from overheating and I only have to wait to try again? After connecting to USB the CREATIVE sign appears but disappears directly and a battery symbol appears and remains on the screen. After disconnecting the player does not react in any way. I already tried to reset but cannot start it again.
    Can anyone help me?
    Cheers,
    Uli

    Re: 6 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging:Just fyi
    I found the website for Creative to be very frustrating. Not one snail mail address or corporate headquarters info. The link for website feedback didn't work and one other customer service link was a dud. They clearly don't want to be 'bothered' with complaints, or anything positi've for that matter!
    But, I searched on the forum and found a three-year-old post about someone who was frustrated with having to carry around a paperclip to always push 'reset' on his X-Fi -- and the light dawned! Didn't know I had one of those. I pressed reset and voila! it is working again. Still had to charge it, but it accepted the charge this time and I was able to finish my book and move on to the next. Now, the next problem is I tried to access my wireless network which has a $ in the password and there is no $ in the choices for entering a password. So, now I have to change the password, change all of my device passwords (Blu-Ray, iPad, laptops(2), friend's laptops, etc. a huge pain. Seems to me they could have included a $ in the choices!

  • Applet does not start after JRE 1.5 installation

    Hi,
    When I go to my webpage where I have an applet that requires Java 1.5..the browsers are prompting for Java installation (ActiveX component install on IE or Firefox plugin for JRE installation). But once the Java install completes the applet does not start automatically. The same code used to work nicely with Java 1.4. The applet used to automatically start and run once the JRE install completed. But with JRE 1.5 it does not start. If I do a refresh on the browser it again prompts for java installation. If I open new browser window and go to the URL the applet starts. Please let me know how to get the applet to start automatically after JRE 1.5 installation.
    Thanks,

    We figured out the problem. the CLASSID was not the right one. Once we changed it...its working fine.
