  • How do i download and use adobe reader, flash player etc for windows 7 64 bit program. nothing works

    I have tried almost everything and adobe stuff doesn't work with windows 7 64 bit program. SUGGESTIONS?

    Hi, First, you must use the 32bit since Adobe Flash Player does not support the 64bit. Second you must be the Administrator in order to install the ActiveX Control and write to the Windows Registry which Flash Player does.
    Read over this Adobe Uninstall info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    You can also read this troubleshooting guide:

    Are you using any other browsers? If so which one and the version?
    Your Anti-Virus/Firewall ?

  • Adobe cs3 won't install on Windows 7(32-bit)!

    A friend of mine finally convinced me to install Windows 7, and he had good reason to. This OS really lives up to the hype thats been going on...but, Im having trouble installing an ESSENTIAL program(s) to this great OS, Adobe CS3 Design Premium. I installed Windows 7 (32-bit) from a DVD, with the product key, which I think is the "clean install" Ive been hearing about. I read something that says Windows 7 doesn't recognize a certain file associated with Cs3, maybe thats why it wont load. I attached a screen shot of my system specs, if it helps. But this is what happened.
    - When I insert the software DVD, the autoplay feature pops up, then Windows "User Account Control" asks me if I want to allow the changes.
    - I click "Yes," and then the "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" window pops up and gives me the option to: Install CS3 Design Premium; Install Adobe Acrobat 8; and Browse CD.
    - I choose "Install CS3" and then a window "Initializing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" with a progress bar.
    - The bar fills up, but when it finishes nothing happens.
    I checked the tasked manager and see that, that adobe setup.exe is running somehow, but nothing happens. I have search on Adobe forums and google for possible solutions, but nothing has worked so far. I have tried:
    - Runnning the setup application from the DVD (in Adobe Design Premium CS3 folder) as "Administrator"
    - Ran "wincs3clean," to remove any existing adobe programs from the system.
    - Ran ccleaner, to fix/repair any registry problems or anything else.
    - Tried copying the content of the DVD onto the desktop and run it as Admin.
    - Used the command.exe (as admin) and ran the "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and "regsvr32 vb(something)"
    - Ran Windows 7 in "simplified" mode, where I disabled any services/processes from interferring with the setup, through the msconfig feature.
    - Cleared the Windows temporary files, as this was a solution for Vista, I thought might work.
    - Tried updating my drivers, everything was uptodate.
    - Called Adobe Technical support, waited about 30 mins, and then was told "Adobe does not support Windows 7, so the install may or maynot work." (They could help if they wanted to).
    - Tried restarting in a previous version, to see if it would install, but the admin password that I had before isnt working now for some reason.
    Ive seen reports of people having Adobe CS3 installed on Windows 7 and working fine, so I know its possible. Its just frustrating that I cant get it to work. Somebody (bodies), please help me. Let me know if there is any other info needed. Ive struggling with this for some time now.
    Thanks A-Mil in advance,
    Gary D.

    i am having very similar issues and after working on this for days i'm ready to trash all Adobe products..   i've been in DP for 35 years and have never had this much trouble with anything - ever.
    i migrated to a new machine using windows 7 from and XP machine.  i used PCmover to port applications and all are working just fine except my Adobe CS3 products.   When i try to open them i get some sort of message about catastophic licensing problem and the product immediately closes.  i'd detail the error but it's only up for about  4 milliseconds before it disappears.
    so i tried reinstalling CS3 and it loads the autoplay just fine and then i click on 'install adobe cs3' icon and see the progress bar moving for about 2 secons and then that disappears and then NOTHING.
    so i found suggestions about using the CS5 cleaner tool and ran that bout it didn't even find the application..
    so i went to control panel and clicked on 'uninstall' for CS3 and it seems run for about 3 seconds and then NOTHING..
    so i installed a windows cleanup tool that was recommended but that's been retired by Microsoft because it caused other problems so i didn't run it..
    short of formatting my hard drive and starting over installing over 50 apps on my new computer, i'm at a loss and so extremely frustrated with Adobe that i am willing to learn another set of programs to replace them and to tell the world.

  • Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

    Worked ok on Vista, After
    installing Windows 7 (Clean & Install) Adobe Reader won't install on windows 7, goes through the process says 100% installation complete, then nothing. Any ideas.

    I havent faced this issue as such on my WIN 7 OS. Worked fine for me.
    You might be able to find the cause behind the problem by creating the error log for the installer, using the following commandline switch:
    AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe /l
    the "\l" switch will create an error log (if any) in the temp directory. (%temp% \ BootStrap.log)
    If you can share the log details, it may help in deciphering what exactly is the root cause behind your problem.

  • Adobe Reader won't install in any of the website-given ways. How can I fix this?

    I've been trying to install Adobe Reader 11.0 on my Windows 8 computer for about an hour now. When I download the regular installer, the first thing my PC does is give a security warning. Strange already, but the website mentioned this could happen, so I said "download anyway". Then when I execute the installler file, I get a small error window titled "Host" which tells me "the certificate could not be verified". The only thing I can do is press "OK", which makes it go away, but the installer still does nothing, of course.
    So I tried the other "direct" download which is given as a possible solution. The AdbeRdr11000 file I get from that downloads without any security issues.
    When I execute it, it asks me if I give this installer permission to run. I say "yes", the window dissapears and then nothing happens. At all. I can wait all I want, it's like I never clicked anything to begin with.
    So how can I fix this. I really feel like downloading such a widespread product shouldn't be so difficult.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When I follow your link, after filling out the information (operating system, language), I still can only choose for version 11,0.
    This is the same version the "direct" download gives me (the one that doesn't do anything after executing).

  • Adobe Reader will not install to my IMac OSX 100.7.5

    When I have a program open and want to download a PDF file that is when I get message to install Adobe Reader in order to print the PDF, when I try to download the Reader it either goes through the install action and says it is downloaded or it tells me the Adobe Reader is already installed.  Message doesn't matter because it is not downloaded and installed.  The only thing I find in my Finder download section is the Adobe Reader install download.  I have tried this so many times.  When I first got my Mac I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player with no problem.  Any suggestions?

    Ok. Thanks Mike.
    It would be nice if Adobe published the correct information then.
    The Flash Player page specifically shows 12.0.0.4 for Safari, FireFox and Opera. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Correct info would have prevented a pointless waste of time. The other Flash Player test page also reports the wrong information when viewing via Safari and FF.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.
