Acrobat X Pro advertised as compatible w Windows Vista Business

I just purchased Acrobat X Pro and it was advertised as compatible with Windows Vista Business.  I tired to install it and kept getting an error telling me my system was insufficient to run Acrobat X Pro.  I checked the specs again, I icheck the computer configuration and everythin was within spec.  i called tech support and they told me that I had to upgrade to Windows 7.  Now that I have acquired a serial number I am told I can not return Acrobat X Pro so I am stuck with a product I can't use and looking at another $200 to upgrade to Windows 7.  I am very unhappy.  I have been a Adobe used for many years including previous versions of Acrobat Pro I am a user of Creative Suite and Photoshop also.  Adobe used to be a great company with great products.  Now it looks like I'm SOL if there is no solution to this issue!

I strongly disagree with what you were apparently told. Folks have been running AAX on XP since it came out and VISTA is a step above that. There are three things to consider when you do the install: 1. Log in as an administrator; 2. Empty the TMP folder; and 3. disable anti-virus. If you continue to have problems, please try to capture the error (screen capture) and post that here.

  • How do I fix the Database Organizer Error when using Acrobat 9 Pro on desktop PC with Windows 8.1 and 64-bit OS?

    After loading Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop PC (Windows 8.1; 64-bit OS), opening and closing a previously saved pdf file, I constantly get a message pop-up that indicates a "database organizer" error.
    How do I fix this?
    I have read multiple responses at various forums and they do not seem to apply, or have not worked for others, with regard to the details of my version of Acrobat and Windows OS.
    I'm beginning to think that the only solution is to purchase the latest version of Acrobat Pro and install it on my PC, which, of course, I would prefer not to do, unless this is my only viable option.
    Can this problem, specific to my version of Acrobat and Windows OS, be fixed or is the simple answer:  purchase the latest version of Acrobat Pro, because there is no fix for my version of Acrobat/Windows OS?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

    32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
    Michael Jones

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

  • Acrobat XI Pro won't activate on Windows 8.1

    Acrobat XI Pro won't activate on Windows 8.1 after loading from DVD.  The serial number is recognized as valid, but the Acrobat version choices that are listed don't include Acrobat XI Pro.

    It is possible you are installing an upgrade and it is asking you to provide information for the previous version that you already own.  When you purchase an upgrade you are normally asked for which version you already own and the serial number for it as well.

  • Illustrator 10 compatible with Windows Vista?

    I'm looking to purchase Illustrator 10 (can't afford the $600 for CS3). Is it compatible with windows vista? I've been all over the Adobe website, but there is no information pertaining to any upgrades or FAQs on the subject.

    You'll be trying to run an old version of Illustrator (now at v.13) on an operating system with which it was never tested, so all bets are off.
    However, users have reported success with Illustrator versions going back as far as 8. After installation, you will most likely need to do the following:
    Right-click on the Illustrator EXE file, choose properites, click the compatibility tab, and then select...
    * Disable Visual Themes
    * Disable Desktop Composition
    * Disable display scaling on high DPI machines
    It's going to be difficult to purchase a legal copy of such an old version.
    Caveat emptor.
    Also make sure you update to 10.0.3.

  • WRT54GS Compatible with Windows Vista?

    Does anyone know if the WRT54GS Wireless Router is compatible with Windows Vista? I want to remove the router from a PC running XP and move to one using Vista. If it is compatible, I no longer have the start-up CD-ROM. Can the necessary drivers and firmware be found and downloaded from the Linksys site? Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Vista works with the WRT54GS.  You can simply remove the cable from your old computer and connect it to your new computer.  If your new computer has a wireless adaptor, you can also connect wirelessly.  You would have to log on to your router to find your network key.

  • Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

    I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
    Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
    with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
    but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
    windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
    or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
    latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
    RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
    fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
    is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
    will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
    is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
    that it should be of high importance that these issues are
    resolved.
    Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
    and Vista?

    Hi cptv8
    I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
    findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
    early adopters.
    You stated:
    Technically vista is not due to domestic market until january
    07, however businesses will be able to purchase vista in only two
    weeks, and as Captivate is generally used for business/training use

    You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
    wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
    visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
    supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
    issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
    Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
    clicking
    here.
    Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
    it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
    tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
    making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
    gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
    aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
    can.
    Sincerely... Rick
