Acrobat fatal error: failed to load core dll

Hi,
I have a problem with acrobat reader on my laptop.
My OS is Vista Home Premium.
I had Master collection CS4 installed.
When starting up acrobat reader; i got following error:
failed to load core dll.
I went to the log and this is the explenatoin written in there: (i'm dutch speaking)
Kan activeringscontext voor 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.dll' niet maken. Fout in manifest of beleidsbestand '' op regel . Een onderdeelversie die nodig is voor de toepassing conflicteert met een andere onderdeelversie die reeds actief is. Conflicterende onderdelen zijn: Onderdeel 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt _1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_none_db5f52fb98cb24 ad.manifest.

I simultaneously had a problem with Dreamweaver.
I think all this is caused by an Side By Side configuration issue.
I've tried to do following steps:
-redistibrutable 2008 c++ package geinstall
-system recoverage tool
-reinstall cs4 master collection
-uninstall master collection, clean up, install reeware acrobat reader
-uninstall acrobat reader, ccleaner register issues resolver , also older than 24 uur , reboot, install acrobat reader freeware
-revo uninstall tool to remove acrobat
none of the above actions were successful.
What could u suggest or give as a solution.
Atm i'm using an altarnative pdf-reader.
But as i bought the master collection,
i'd rather have my adobe acrobat reader pro and dreamweaver working.
Thanks in advance,
With friendly regards
Anton

Hi Anton
I am sorry, I do not have an answer just a similar problem.
I am no expert, but all these manifest files are to ensure that different developers can ensure that the appropriate versions of common libraries are used by particular versions of their software.
Deatils are below. The original problem was a corrupted manifest file, probably due to a disk error. This resulted in several programs failing to run. In particular I was unable to access backup on my Windows Home Server. From the logs I was able to identify the manifest file in error and located a copy of a file with the same name on another of my computers. Using notepad I then changed the file causing the problem to match the file on the other computer.
This appeared to resolve all my problems.
When the Acrobat Reader updated itself, however, the"failed to load core DLL" message appeared. Simply uninstalling all adobe programs and re-installing makes no difference.
If you have the solution please post.
If not, I will continue to research this problem.
Very best wishes
Graham

Fatal Error: Failed to load library 'pdh.dll.'

When I double click on the Skype icon, a dialogue box pops up. It says "Fatal Error" at the top, and inside, it says, "Failed to load library 'pdh.dll.'" I cannot get Skype to open at all.
I had used Skype with no problems the day before, and I didn't do anything to any files or anything. I don't think.
I have restarted my computer, un-installed and reinstalled Skype, and went into %appdata% and renamed the Skype folder, tried to open Skype, then renamed the folder back again. None of this worked.
I ran a Malware scan and it came back clean. I am currently running a virus scan.
Can anyone help me?

Dxva2.dll is a DirectX system file. If you are receiving that error it is because this operating system file is missing or damaged. While copying the file from another source can work, it's best to use system file checker (sfc /scannow) in a command prompt box (Start - Run - cmd) to ensure the proper version is restored. This will allow your OS to repair damaged or missing Windows operating system files (like dxva2.dll). Be aware in Windows XP you will either need your Windows XP installation media or a local copy of the i386 folder (originating from the install disc) in order to successfully run system file checker.

Fatal Error: Failed to load library 'dxav2.dll

Help po plss

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

Failed to load Core DLL-Adobe Reader XI

This is the error message I got when I downloaded and upgraded from a perfectly functional Adobe Reader 9.5 to Adobe Reader XI. It did download in protected mode but I didn't have any problems with it last time I upgraded and downloaded in protected mode. My OS: Windows 7 -64 bit with IE 10. I hope this doesn't have any problems with my antivirus software ....since my last blue screen of death experience >.< due to a trojan horse virus that wrecked everything ....so bad I had to use system restore. So, I bought Norton 360 with the intention of having my computer like Fort Knox! However, I have no idea how some of the stuff works on it though...lol
Can you help me please?

My situation was fixed by recommendation in thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5211542 to scan for a rootkit malware. The scanner found 1 object in my case, and the scanner utility's Cure removed the rootkit. After that, Reader works perfectly for me.

Adobe Reader fails to load Core DLL

I'm at my wits end here.
For some unknown reason my Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit Dell laptop has started popping up the following message about Protected Mode.
If I choose Do Not open, then Reader just closes.
If I choose Open with PM disabled, I get:
I have Kaspersky Antivirus already installed and it has scanned my computer several times. Nothing has been found as a result of these scans. I run the full rootkit scans manually several times as well.
I've rebooted several times.
I've reinstalled Reader TWICE. I had to use the adobe Reader Cleaner tool because reader will not uninstall any other way.
I created an Administrator account just to make absolutely sure it would have the correct permissions - but I still get the message above.
What do I do now?

I don't know why this is happening to you; over the last few years that method has always worked.
Two things to try:
since you cannot even open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode via the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/e2cfe2ae-d1f3-4f3c-ae1d-d4a50fe66f49
uninstall Reader XI, then download the new Adobe Reader DC from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Just to support the previous person who also replied to this question. We
had the same problem and it was the path. Someone pushed an app that
replaced the path instead of appending to it and it killed the zen remote
agent. Replacing the path to "c:\program files\novell\zenworks" path worked.
Thanks much for the person who first suggested this.

Fatal Error: Failed to connect to DDE server

I've read the other posts about this problem, but none seem to fit my situation.
This happened while trying to use a 3rd party program Typhoon AutoRun to test autorun files for CDs of our Ebooks that we're burning. Each of these Ebook CD projects has 6 PDF files to open; 1 Mobipocket, 1 HTML. Of course, the only problem occurs with the PDF files.
Let me start by saying that I was using Acrobat 6 until September, when we upgraded to CS 4, and never experienced this issue.
And after installing Acrobat Pro 9, I hadn't any difficulty until TODAY.
Order of events: I opened a past completed project in Typhoon Autorun to test the file before burning to CD.
When I clicked on one of the PDF document buttons, the first thing that happened was Adobe Active X 9 attempted to run. BUT the Active X failed to install on the first attempt:
"Error 1904.Module
C:|WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473. Contact your support personnel."
The Typhoon Autorun program continued operating and opened the project's PDF documents without any difficulty -- all 6 opened, one after the other, when I clicked on their buttons.
I closed out the error message, closed out the Typhoon Autorun project I was testing to work on another Typhoon Autorun project. When I had that one finished, I tested it as I had the one previous.
This time when I clicked on a button to open one of the PDF button, the Adobe Active X 9 program loaded and INSTALLED successfully.
THEN, the PDF document opened. But when I attempted to open any of the other 5, they did nothing. I double-checked my Typhoon Autorun project files, but all of the settings were correct. I tried testing my project again. This time NONE of the PDF files would open.
I closed the Typhoon Autorun program and attempted to open Acrobat Pro 9 immediately after. I tried clicking on the shortcut button several times with no result. After several minutes, literally, I received the "Fatal Error: Failed to connect to DDE server" --- actually, several instances of that message to correspond with all the times I'd attempted to open the program.
I shut down my computer, rebooted, reopend Typhoon Autorun and tried to test a different project.
Again, Adobe Active X 9 installed. (If it's already installed why is it reinsalling???)
And again, only 1 PDF file would open. Then none of the others. I shut down Typhoon Autorun and tried to open Adobe Acrobat again, and it wouldn't open.
The problem seems to be appearing when Adobe Active X 9 installs, and it's doing that automatically, without asking.
I never had this problem when I used Adobe Acrobat 6 (I'm really beginning to regret upgrading)
I never had this problem before this Active X 9 started installing.

No solution I am afraid but same problem, running full version of AVG and problem hit immediately after Adobe Reader 9.1 upgrade. Pretty darn sure problem is in the upgrade but the relevant Restore Point was overwritten before I figured it out. Any advice welcome.
