Acrobat X Pro not opening - Part II

I previously posted on this topic on April 19 and 20 (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/5253051#5253051), but surprisingly, received no responses. I am now reposting because the problem continues and I have been unable to find a satisfactory solution. I hope this post will catch the attention of someone knowledgeable with Acrobat X.
Every few weeks, Acrobat X Pro stops opening. I cannot open Acrobat through the Start menu and double-clicking on PDFs does nothing. When Acrobat is working properly, double-clicking a pdf causes it to open in Acrobat. Today is at least the third time I have had this problem. In the past, restarting my computer or repairing the Acrobat installation did not help. The only solution I found was uninstalling and then reinstalling Acrobat X, which usually costs me at least 20 minutes each time I have this problem.
About an hour ago, I was viewing a pdf in Acrobat when suddenly Acrobat shut down and would not reopen. The only possible trigger I can think of was a Windows automatic update that I installed about 7 hours earler. It was a critical, recommended update. It may have had some relationship, but I suspect the problem is instead some unresolved bug in Acrobat X.
Is anyone aware of this problem and is there a permanent solution?

This is part of a CS6 install. I guess if on Oct. 24 (30 days from Sept. 24) Acrobat is not launching, I will know that the problem is linked to the article you cited.
By the way, the above link misdirects. The correct link is: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html.

Acrobat X Pro not opening

Since this morning, Acrobat X Pro is not opening. Whether I click on a pdf or start the program from the Start menu, it does not launch. The arrow turns into an hourglass for a second and then reverts to an arrow and nothing happens. I am not sure what happened.
Is there a solution other than having to uninstall and then reinstall all of Creative Suite 6?

Acrobat X Pro not working, tryed to re-install and does not recognize Serial Number?

Acrobat X Pro not working, Serial Number not recognized?

Hi lv123321,
Do you have Acrobat only License no or is it a part of suite. If Acrobat X pro is a part of suite then you need to use the suite setup to install Acrobat.
Also if possible could you please private message me the serial no so I can try decoding it.
Regards,
Abhijit

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Acrobat 8 will not open on pc

Acrobat 8 will not open at all with no errors. we tried to fix. then tried to unload, then reload still the same problem. tried the ittools cleaner still no luck. Is this an authorization issues or any other suggestions, the reason we need 8 to work is we have plug-ins that only works on 8

HI There,
It could be an issue due to some corrupted or foreign fonts in your system:
Can you try the following steps to ensure if that is the case at your end as well?
1) Close Captivate and all other running applications.
2) Go to C\Windows\Fonts -- Copy the "Fonts" folder and paste it on your desktop (to have a back up).
3) Now, delete all fonts from "C\Windows\Fonts" directory, this would remove all fonts that are installed on your computer, it might prompt that certain fonts are necessary as applications are dependant upon them, so, skip these fonts.
You would be left with a bunch of necessary fonts after this operation., Now, attempt to launch Captivate again.
Note: Please make sure you keep a backup for all fonts on your desktop.
Regards,
Mayank

Acrobat XI does not open - licensed copy - has been working properly for several months

acrobat XI does not open - licensed copy - has been working properly for several months. i never did have any problems before this. was acrobat 10 with acrobat XI upgrade in November 2013 so 6-7 months of trouble free use

I too have the same problem working property until about January or February this year...get "bad parameter' message trying to open files and then when I did the upgrade this a.m. it will not open at all, just spins and then disappears. I had this problem about a week ago and our IT man thought he had it resolved, even then kept getting 'bad parameter' and then this a.m. right back to not opening at all. I have Windows 7 Professional v6.1 and am wondering if it's a compatibility issue? Will I continue to have these issued until I install Windows 8?

Download Acrobat X Pro NOT Acrobat XI Pro

I own the creative suite which includes Acrobat X Pro. I need to download only Acrobat X Pro, not the whole 15gb creative suite, but I can only find a link to download Acrobat XI Pro, which I do not have a serial for.
The fact that I have to spend an hour searching to download a product I purchased is absurd.

Acrobat Pro not opening PDF files when I double click on them- It only works if I bring up the program-.

I've installed a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. It will open the file if I hit control->open with->Acrobat Pro Luis: but if I double click on the document it only brings up the Acrobat XI Pro window with the "Open a Recent File", I've changed the "Open With" option on "Get Info" and still can't open the PDF files with a double click. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! LAGA

When I double click the file after Acrobat is opened nothing happens...
The PDF file only opens if I start the acrobat program then look for the PDF file or any PDF Files and then I am able to open them.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro not working (at all) following update

I have been have issues with my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for a few weeks now. It stopped allowing me to view, create and print pdfs a few weeks ago. As I teach part time online at a university- I commonly use pdf's to provide information to my students. I also use pdf's to transfer data back and for from my work computer - for my full time job - to my home computer and back again. Not having this availability is really hindering my work.
My computer runs on Windows 7 with a 64 bit operating system. Up until a few weeks ago I had no problems. I'm thinking an update may have gone through that caused the issues.
In order to reload my full program I had to completely reformat one of my drives which I had remnants of an old adobe version on it- unfortunately, I did not realize that outlook was still pointing to this drive so I lost a lot of data in the long run- needless to say this adobe issue is has been more than just a nuisance to me.
Once the drive was clean- I was able to reload my software for Adobe XI Pro. It worked perfectly after I loaded it. At least I was able to breath a sigh of relief. The next day (yesterday) I was informed that some security updates were needed on the program- considering the age of my disks- It seemed plausible and I received the updates. This evening, as I was setting up my course for winter semester- I tried to open a pdf- and low and behold- I am back where I was- I can't do anything again. What is going on here? I need this program to work- yesterday! Actually I needed it weeks ago when I started realizing I had issues.
There has to be a fix out there for this problem- and I can't be the only one with this problem. I would appreciate any suggestions that anyone has!
Thank you!

Bill-
Thanks for the suggestion- but unfortunately this doesn't work- the reason being is that "Repair" is not option.
I took a snapshot and attached it of what is available for me when I click on Adobe and as you can see- Repair is not an option.
I'm getting to the point of frustration- I will probably uninstall adobe again and refuse to get any updates for it. I honestly do not know what else to do.
Without adobe I can't post assignments for my college students to my website. Winter term starts tomorrow and I am very much behind schedule because of this problem.
I can't be the only person having this issue.
Again- I do appreciate the suggestion. Wish it would have worked.
