Adobe Professional Will Not Start

Good evening,
I had Adobe Professional 7.0 installed on my computer. A malware forced me to scrap the hard drive and replace it with a new one. After reinstalling Adobe Professional 7.0 Tryout (I have the activation code that I purchased after downloading the program about 3 years ago) I cannot start it. When I attempt to start it the mouse arrow turns into an hour glass for about 15 seconds and that's it. Nothing happens. I can't even enter my activation code because the program doesn't pop up on the screen.
I have Microsoft OneCare installed. The firewall permits acrobat.exe to access the Internet
I tried to download an update but I got a message saying the update could not be installed because the program wasn't found!
Any idea where the screwup is?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Job.

Being the only user with admin rights is not, as far as I know, the same as being the Administrator
I think you must log in as Administrator
Also... updates do not work on the demo program, only on registered versions
Once you get the program to install, and you use your number to register, you will be able to update
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER

Adobe reader will not start

I have a Windows 7 Laptop, 64 bits. Suddenly adobe reader will not function; it starts, a black field appears, and it vanishes.
Everything tried: erase program, reinstall, PC back to factory installation. Nothing helps. Any other suggestions?

The End User License Agreement "sticks" in Windows 7 frequently.
Go to: C:/Programs (x86)/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Look for the file named eula.exe (or just eula)
Double click it. Accept the agreement.
Launch Reader.

Adobe Indesign will not start-Runtime Error

Hi,
I recently bought Creative Suites Design Premium CS5 and I am having a problem with indesign. The program will not launch. This message shows up The application has requested the Runtime to terimate in unusual way. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am using Windows XP-32 bit, and service pack 3.
Thanks for the help,

Uninstalling InDesign and then installing InDesign should fix the problem.

Adobe reader will not start. I can not work on my taxes.

I've tried uninstalling, uninstalling with the Adobe clean uninstall tool, repairing windows, repairing Adobe reader, and TDSSKiller, and nothing works. Every time I try to start the reader it comes up with the message: "acrobat failed to load its core DLL". I'm running windows 7, and have tried to restore the OS to a previous version, but the corrupt file always comes up as not being able to be repaired. Also get message from Reader_sl.exe that the Application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000006.

Sort of. I can not update windows or adobe without risk of losing everything again. MS and Adobe should work together better if the IRS is going to require everybody to use Adobe. The computer guy changed a lot of settings on my computer in order to get Adobe 10 to work, and now my mail program and Internet explorer programs keep locking up. Adobe customer support is non-existant; i.e. sucks. This is Adobe/MS problem is forcing me to buy a new computer, probably just how they planned it.

Adobe Lightroom will not start or open

Install lightroom. Everytime I try to open lightroom I get the following error:
Lightroom cannot create a catalog named "Ligthroom 3 Catalog" on a network volume"
Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

The error message is telling you what is wrong from LR's point-of-view. You have to use LR with a catalog on a locally attached hard-drive, not a network drive. The catalog that LR is either automatically trying to open, or that you are selecting to be opened is on a network drive not a local drive.
When you start LR for the first time, or if you press the Alt key while starting LR, you should have the option to create a new catalog. Do this and make sure the catalog location you select is on a local drive and not a network drive. The reason for this restriction is that LR's catalog file must not be accessed by more than one person at a time and having it on a network invites this complication. LR is licensed for a single user at a time, not a multi-user network situation.
If you have installed LR on a network-bootable workstation that has no locally-attached hard-drives then a possible option would be to attach a hard-drive via USB or Firewire and use that for the location of the catalog. It would be slower than an internal drive, but if that's your only option, it is an option. Of course if your workstation doesn't have a local drive and doesn’t' allow attaching drives via USB or Firewire or eSATA, then you're out of luck and need to try a different computer that has local storage available.

Adobe reader will not start after installation, what is wrong ?

Download of Adobe Flash Will Not Start

Hello Adobe! There are no error messages. I am using Mozilla Firefox 19.0.2, and Windows 7 x64 with all updates. My antimalware is AVG and I have disabled it. When I click the download button, absolutely nothing happens.
Would you have any suggestions on something that I could try? Thanks much.

Bolivar Shagnasty

Hi Bolivar,
What download button are you referring to? Can you give me the URL? If you're trying to get the installer, please try this link:

Thanks,

Hey,
I am sorry but Acrobat 7 is not at all compatible with Windows 8. For this, you will need to upgrade your Adobe Acrobat version.
For better understanding, please refer this kb file:
Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I just migrated everything from an old Mac to a new one, but now Acrobat Professional will not launch. I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time......"

I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

Adobe Premiere Elemens 9 will not start

Hello,
My system is Windows 7.
When I want to open a new, or want to start an existing project the programm will not start en I recieve this message:
I have uninstalled Premiere Elements 9 and after that installed it again.
But the message mentioned here above still appears.
Then I used the Premiere Elements exe file but still the same.
When I use the help file a message appears that says there is an update available.:
I click on "download now" but after a short moment appears "download failed"
Error nr. 16822
Who can give me a good advise.
Thanks very much

Is Premiere Elements 9 a new program for you - has it worked before but not now or has it never been used and/or worked before? It appears that you are trying to run the program on Windows 7 (64 bit assumed).
Right now the only thing that you want to be downloading for Premiere Elements 9 is the 9.0.1 Update. You can do that without Premiere Elements 9 opened with the following download from Adobe via this link
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
If you could get into the program, then you could do this update via a project's Help Menu/Update.
1. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
2. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and also Run As Administrator applied?
3. What video card/graphics card does you computer use and is it up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Does your computer use 1 or 2 video card/graphics card?
4. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus program disabled?
Several productive areas of troubleshooting that we may be exploring after more details are supplied include
1. Deactivation from within the program (if you can get into a project); uninstall the usual Control Panel route; ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts); reinstall with antivirus and firewalls disabled.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
2. Deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or the whole 9.0 Folder in which it exists.
3. Deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file.
Many of these ideas will require that you be using an active Folder Option for Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives.
4. Other
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

Illustrator CC will not start

I am using the new 27 inch iMac running Mountain Lion. I am a registered Creative Cloud user. I just installed Illustrator CC and it will not start. When the splash screen appears, I get this error message: Can't print the illustration. Disk full error has occurred while it's printing. When I click 'okay' I get a Problem Report with the heading Adobe Illustrator CC quit unexpectedly.
I installed it on an identical iMac configured the same way and it runs fine. Any suggestions?

User accounts can get corrupt. The only real solution is to create a new account migrate any importnat data, and then delete the old one.
Backups can help a GREAT deal. I've had user accounts get completely broken and simply restoring the account for a nightly backup fixes the issue entirely.
