AcroRd32.exe Error

Error pop up message:
AcroRd32.exe-Application Error
The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occured in the application at location 0x00401233.
This error message will pop up whenever there is a pdf file either opened OR listed in the folder I have opened. If I have a pdf file saved on my desktop, the popup message will keep appearing if I am on my desktop. If I have a pdf file opened over 2 minutes, the message will appear again, even opening up multiple files at once will pop up 5 error messages (1 for every file).
I have the following (if it's needed to know):
XP Professional
Adobe Acrobat 4.0
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX
Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin
Adobe reader XI (11.0.06)
and using MS 2003
I just updated the reader just when I rebooted my pc from running a virus scan & it's still doing it. It's been going on for at least since last October. I deal with pdf's all day cause I homeschool my 3rd grade son so I need to get this fixed....wasn't even sure if this was a Adobe issue either! lol
Thanks!

I had the same error with a similar configuration, namely running Adobe Reader 11.0.8 alongside a full version of Adobe Acrobat 8 on XP Professional SP3. Windows XP would raise a dialog-box with this 0xc0000409 error every time I hovered over a .pdf file.
The problem appears to be caused by the Abobe Reader X11 installer confusing the dual configuration with a previous version of Abobe Acrobat.
Fortunately, the solution appears to be extremely simple:
Open      Adobe Reader 11
Select     Edit | Preferences...
Select     General under Categories list
Click on   Select Default PDF Handler
Select     Adobe Reader X1(11.0.n) from the combo-box, where n is your version (and may be the only version displayed)
Click on   Apply , which will reconfigure the Windows XP configuration, such as context-sensitive menus and registry settings
Restart computer to complete changes...
PS: It worked for me, so I thought I would share...

Just download Adobe Reader XI for windows 8.1, it doesn't work. My OS is Windows 8.1 64-bits. Two dialogues appear as 1.) AcroRd32.exe Error, The instruction at 0x9068675f reference memory at 0x9068675f. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program. 2.) Adobe Reader ha stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution ia available.

What is the Reader XI version you installed?
Does this also happen when you open Reader by itself? If not, can you try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

I have tried running the "cleaner" http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Which ended up removing my Acrobat Reader, so had to reinstall.
Get the same results for Acrobat reader 10.1.4 & 11
If the report is displayed, then save it to a folder, then open directly with Acrobat Reader, prints ok.

First thing I would try is update to 10.1.8 or 11.0.4.

Reader_sl.exe and acrord32.exe error 0x0000034

Hello, i'm using adobe reader 9.3 and i have this little problem, first started with reader_sl.exe at startup, y then when try to use reader it pop up the same. im on windows xp sp3 and already tried to reinstall
i did fix this problem already installing vcredist, msi and net framework (looks like the first was the only needed)
but now i get "the instruccion at 0x012e37fa referenced memory at 0x019edc0 the memory could no be written"
thanks in advance
hola, tengo adobe reader 9.3 y este pequeño problema. al inicio salta reader_sl.exe y cuando tratas de iniciar el reader sale el otro. estoy usando windows xp y ya probe reinstalar
bueno ya arregle este problema instalando vcredist, msi y net framework (me parece que el primero solamente hacia falta
pero ahora me sale
la isntrucion en 0x012e37fa hace referencia a la memoria 0x019edc0 la memoria no se puede written
gracias desde ya

Can you tell us more about the error you are getting regarding reader_sl.exe - is it just "system error", or anything more?
On the other hand, you can safely remove reader_sl.exe from the startup list; it doesn't really do much.
Regarding MSVCP71.dll - do you also get that message in connection with Adobe Reader?
What Reader version do you have installed?
The visual C runtime libraries are normally distributed with the applications that require it. If MSVCx71.dll modules are generally missing, they are part of .NET Framework 1.1

Estás en un foro en español, respondiendo a un mensaje de hace más de cuatro años. Te sugiero abrir una nueva discusión, con un título descriptivo de tu problema, y una clara identificación de la plataforma, sistema operativo, y programas de los que estás hablando, así como sus versiones. Reader y Acrobat son dos programas diferentes.

I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
Please help!?

Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem. But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry. If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

Hi SUBRAMANIAN,
Are you still facing this issue? It seems to be conflict to me.
Are you using any third party plugins with Acrobat? Try disabling and to use it again.

Adobe Reader attempts to open, then recieves an error message of AppName:acrord32.exe

I have been having trouble using Adobe Reader 8.1.1, every time I go to open it I receive the following message:
Error Signature
AppName:acrord32.exe AppVer:8.1.0.137 ModName:msver71.dll
ModVer:7.10.3052.4 Offset:000010428
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I am running windows xp with security packet 2.
I have tried to un-install the program. Manually deleted the files by going to the programs folder and removing everything. I have done a complete search of all files and documents regarding to Adobe and deleted them. Then attempted to re-install the software. Each time I do so I receive the same error message. Any thought on how to resolve this issue?

I had the same problem.
I installed the foxit and work just fine.
Another way uninstall the adobe 8.1.2 and install an older version like 7.0.9, Here is how:
Go to Download Adobe Reader click on "Different language or operating system" Make choices for your system and click "Continue" second step box will appear at the bottom of the screen. Make the radio button for 7.0.9 and click on "Download Adobe Reader".
An the way you go.
Hope this helped you.
I found these ways from user to user. I do not remember their names.
I thank them and I take the liberty to pass these to other suffering{LIKE ME} people.

Acrord32.exe system error the program cant start because msvcp100.dll

Hello Adobe Community,
Im having problems with an XP Pro machine that is joined to a domain where i keep getting the following error message : " acrord32.exe system error the program cant start because msvcp100.dll"
I can temporarily solve this by uninstalling Adobe Reader and then reinstalling it. But the next day the computer restarts the same error comes up again. In other forum there was a solution to install Microsoft Visual C++. I installed it but the same problem happen again the next day. The Adobe Reader version I have installed its XI (11.0.03). If you guys could help me with this issue that would be great

It's not C++ you need to install, but the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package. But I have no idea why this happens again the next day.

Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger error "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in AcroRd32.exe [31

I installed Reader X and when I tried opening it, I received a Visual Studio Just-in-time Debugger error "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in AcroRd32.exe [3116]. I uninstalled, rebooted and tried reinstalling and received the same error.
I tried disabling the just in time debugger mentioned in http://www.programmerfish.com/disable-visual-studio-just-in-time-debugger/ and received the error "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in AcroRd32.exe [4080]. Just-in-time debugging this exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has just-in-time debugging enabled. In Visual Studio, Just-in-time debugging can be enabled.....
I do have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 installed.
Any ideas?

We discovered that Reader X users that had an older version of PGP installed received this error. We implemented a registry change on these devices which resolved the issued. PGP recognized it was an incompatibility issue on their end, and supposedly, with the newer version of PGP it will be resolved. In order to resolve this, try using Adobe Readers whitelisting feature. Below are the steps to follow:
i.   Add a registry entry enabling the use of whitelisting:
       [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
       "bUseWhitelistConfigFile"=dword:00000001
ii. Create a whitelist file called "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" and place it
       in the Adobe Reader executable path i.e. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader
iii. The ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt file will need to contain the string
       SECTION_ALLOW_ANY = *PGPhk*

AcroRd32.exe Ver 10 Application error 0xc0000710 64bit win7 the fix

I feel i needed to post this because upon reading the above forums, Many folks seem to be getting this error and trying all things to fix it.
The fix is simple...and I figured it out myself by thinking as I knew from reading this newer adobe 10 was supposed to be more secure.
So I remember something somewhere else in another softare about a protected mode issue.. saw the check and wording and said what the heck lets try that..
bingo...
So
Go to
EDIT
Preferences
General
UNCHECK --> Enable Protected Mode at Startup....
YEP that is it!
Your application error is gone,
Just for folks knowledge,
Intel I5 Chipset,
Win7 Premium 64 Bit,
4 gig of Ram
I am running the Microsoft Security Essential Antivirus.
and a ton of other stuff on startup..

Hey! I was also having problems with Adober Reader X. After updating to 10.0.1, I kept getting a message after about two minutes saying Adobe Reader has suddenly stopped and then the program would close. I had the following error message in my event viewer:
"Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 10.0.1.434, time stamp 0x4d456f48, faulting module WININET.dll, version 8.0.6001.19019, time stamp 0x4d0c5473, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0002387b, process id 0x102c, application start time 0x01cbf33fb3496067"
I unchecked enable protected mode at startup and so far it works. Thanks!

I do not know the answer to this, but if you are willing to to do some troubleshooting:
Which version of windows are you using?
XP vista or 7, 64 bit or 32 bit.
Do you have Quicktime? If so does Quicktime launch?
Did you change anything on your computer just before this problem started?
Please look in the Event viewer for a helpful error message.
To open the event viewer:
Control Panel>>Administrative Tools>>Event Viewer
Or type Event Viewer into the search box.
Then select Windows Logs>>Application
Open the Event viewer immediately after iTunes crashes.
The error message should be at or near the top.
