Adobe 9 worked fine, then just stopped working.  Loaded adobe 11 and it will not open any .pdf files

Why can't I get Adobe Reader 11 to work at all??  Won't open, repaired via Windows XP as suggested, does not help.  Will not open files in Emails, or stored on the disk. HELP!!!!!

No, neither vers. 9 nor 11 will do anything by itself, no errors, no nothing, hourglass shows up for about 10-15 seconds, no message, no nothing.  Very frustrating, to say the least.  When you have 11 loaded it says Acrobat failed to load its core .DLL but this is several minutes later.  Can’t find anything relating to that problem.  Any help would be appreciated as I have some very important files that cannot be opened.

    after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

    How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
    Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
    Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
    Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

    Niac --
    What kind of files?  PDFs?  or Others as well?
    If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
    Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
    When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
    Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
    Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

  • Adobe Reader XI will not open any PDF file

    I have tried removing and reloading reader.  I have also tried using the WIndows Control Panel to repair the Adobe file.  Nothing has helped.  I cannot open Adobe Reader XI directly from the programs folder.  Nor will it open any PDF file when I double click the file.  I am running WIndows XP.

    Some other things to try...
    Update to Reader version 11.0.5
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe Reader 8 will not open any pdf files.

    I have a Mac OS X G5. I have Adobe Reader 8 installed. I cannot open any pdf files. It has never worked since installing it. I tried going to File> Open with> Adobe Reader> I get an error that says: the file could not be opened because the file is either not supported or it has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly coded). This error occurs no matter where I get the file; email or web page.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I did get around this problem by trashing Reader 8 and confirming that I still had Reader 7.05 installed
    This tip in the MacWorld forum worked for me:

    Now I can open pdf files from the internet or email, in Reader 7.05.

  • Adobe Reader 9 will not open any pdf files

    I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe Reder frequently. Never had a problem. Last week, whenver I try to open a PDF file, I get a warning box "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    The only thng that changed recently was a couple large Windows updates... I am always suspect when a large update occurs. I uninstalled the Reader and Download Manager and ree-installed themm. No change in performance.
    I checked the registry key - it looks correct based on other posts.
    Does anyone have any suggestions what else to try??

    I've got the same problem. I'll look forward to solving this on this thread.
    It really sucks- I have a ton of pdf files, and can't save them to Documents or send them out of the Adobe file.

    What is your operating system?
    You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
    Also, is this a local or online PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • I just downloaded Premiere Elements 9 and it will not open Help!

    I just downloaded Premiere Elements 9 and it will not open Help!

    kmeg55
    From where did you download Premiere Elements 9 at this late date? What computer operating system is it to be running on?
    Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed?
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    Are you getting any display card errors?
    We have just gone down this type of road with another 9 user, so let us start with what finally seems to have worked for him.
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Is the driver for that card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of that card? If not, update the card driver. If the driver is up to date already, then delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
    For now I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path shown. After you deleted the BadDrivers.txt and reopened Premiere Elements, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file but now the problem should be gone.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
    The rationale behind deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in post 10 of the following thread

    I installed Adobe over a month ago when prompted that my trial was expired.  We pay 19.99 a month, and when signed in it states our next payment is due Feb 5, 2015.  Yesterday I got a prompt that my trial was expired and I couldn't open any pdf files anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked all morning until just now, now it is prompting me that the trial is expired AGAIN.  What do I do to fix this permanently??

    You installed Adobe what?  Assuming that perhaps you have a subscription for Acrobat XI Pro, I will move your post to the appropriate forum.  You could also try to Contact Customer Care.

  • Just bought a new pc and itunes will not open. I have tried thto repair and reinstall but still no itunes

    just bought a new pc and itunes will not open. I have tried thto repair and reinstall but still no itunes

    Best route here is to uninstall iTunes completely using the Windows Control Panel.
    Make sure you know exactly which version of Win 7 you're running.
    Restart your computer from cold (with no iTunes).
    Go to Apple website and download the correct version for your operating system.  Install following Apple prompts.
    Once installed, close iTunes.
    Restart your computer from cold (with new iTunes).
    Start iTunes - all should be operating well!  Good luck ...

  • When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken data to Quicken Essentials which has worked well for me until yesterday.  Now Quicken Essentials will not open the data file.  What happened?  How do I get back in?

    When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken files to Quicken Essentials.  That worked fine until yesterday.  Now I'm getting messages that there is not application to open the files, or that it just plain can't open the file.  What gives here?  What happened?  How can I get back in?

    Launch the Quicken application and try to open the file from there, if you haven't already. If that fails, and a simple restart of the computer doesn't help, try reinstalling the application. If that doesn't cure the problem, I would suggest you take this up in the Quicken Community:
    https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page
    or with Quicken support:
    https://quicken.custhelp.com/app/contact/plvl1/win
    You'll be most likely to get further help with your issue there.

  • Just purchased Xcelsius Server 2008 and it will not open

    I have been using the xcelsius 2008 server trial edition and decided to purchase the full product.  After I paid, I received a product key and a link to download.  When I open the trial version, it has a link to enter a product key, so I entered the key I was given.  I got a message that this key was invalid.
    So I clicked the download link and downladed a new file.  It downloaded and installed with no problems (including accepting the key I was given).  But now, when I try to open the application, the Xcelsius logo comes up, but then it immediately pops up a Windows message bos that says "Xcelsius has stopped working" and shuts down.
    There are now two shortcuts and two folders for Xcelsius.  I tried both the old and the new with the same result.
    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.  Can anybody help?

    Hi
    Try and run it from the start menu as administrator.
    Also look at the size of your RAM, anything under 4G, may result in possible instability.
    If it does not work I would suggest, unstall both instances.
    Restart the machine and install the working application.
    Regards
