Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 not responding on start up.

Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 has been not responding on start-up resulting in a program crash. This also has been happening when trying to print. I've tried uninstalling the program and re-installing with no luck. I've also tried using the uninstall utility and re-installing Adobe Reader 11.0.0.9 and it will still crash just a few seconds after starting up.
Any ideas what might be causing the problem?

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately it'll lock up before I am able to make the change.
The fix we had been using is to set it into WindowXP compatibility mode and launch the program. When launched in compatibility mode it starts with a prompt that allows you to disable enhanced security on start up. The deal breaker with that is that non admin users are required to enter admin credentials when launching Adobe.
I'm just curious why on a brand new clean installation of Adobe reader, on a brand new clean installation of Windows 7 Professional, is crashing on start-up. Are there any known issues caused by group policy?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • Adobe Reader 11 w/Windows 7 not responding

    Why does Adobe Reader 11 fail to respond sometimes?  Re-installing allows it to function several times then we get a "not responding" message.  A plank screen is displayed and the number of pages but NO text!  Using repair produces the same results.  Upon 1st use of the repaired/reinstalled reader 11 we also get the adobe message "Cannot find or create the font "Times New Roman".  Some characters may ot display or print correctly".  The text is mostly displayed at this point.  The second attempt to display the same PDF or another displays completely w/out any error message at all.  At some point during the testing process Adobe Reader 11 stops working!  Restarts don't help.  Shutdowns don't help.  Seems only a re-install or repair allows us to correctly view our PDF document a number of times before we have to repeat the process.  Is help available?

  • Adobe Reader 'Attach to Email' is not working

    I have a client that is running Windows 7 and when opening a PDF with Adobe Reader is unable to use the "Attach to Email" function. We tried this with Adobe X, Adobe 9.3, Adobe 9.4.2. None of these will work. An error occurs: "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program." We get the same error on any of these versions. For some reason Adobe 9.3.4 upgrade does not install with 9.3, where I read in a resource discussion that this version should work ion Windows 7.
    Adobe Reader X seems to be a known issue with Windows 7 for this problem. My client recently upgraded from Windows XP and did not have this problem on that OS. A current work-around is to save the PDF then attach it to an email, but she would greatly prefer to use the Attach to Email function within Adobe Reader without having to save the PDF and manually attach it.
    Thanks for any help!

    I have the same issue using Acrobat X and Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows 7.  Attach to email function is NOT working.
    It worked when I had outlook 2007 installed, but I couldn't find where to change the setting to thunderbird.
    I uninstalled outlook.  Now the attach to email feature won't work at all.
    Thunderbird is set to the default email client in windows . . . this is extremely annoying!!
    File > Attach to email . . .  It appears this feature doesn't work with any emails client except outlook??????
    Attach to email worked on WinXP for Lotus Notes 8.5 email client (maybe an older Adobe Reader, version 9.4), but not after we upgraded to Win7. No Adobe Reader versions we have tried will work on Win7 for Lotus Notes.

  • In Windows 7 using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) was able to copy an item (name, number, date) and paste in another document.  In Windows 8.1 using same version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) not able to do this.  Any solutions?

    With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy.   With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy.  Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
    Eureka!!!   Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy.  Hurray!!!

  • Cannot embed pdfs in MS Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.

    Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
    Pdfs with other versions are okay:
    Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
    Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
    Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
    Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
    Thank you,
    Louise.

    Could you please email me the document on which you are seeing this issue at [email protected] ?
    Please mention the forum thread link as well in the mail for the reference.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0 (AcroRd32) does not close

    Hi,
    I am using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>Execute method to print PDF form in foreground passing '/t' as parameter. Once executed the Adobe Reader opens and then the file opens and close and go to printer but the Adobe Reader remains open and does not close.
    Is there any way I can close the reader too along with the document?
    Thanks for the help.
    Regards,
    AShwini

    Whatever page orientation was provided during the PDF creation process will be the page orientation in the PDF.
    This is what is presented to a PDF "viewer" (such as Adobe Reader).
    Adobe Reader (or any PDF "viewer") cannot permanently change page orientation.
    Adobe Reader (& other applications) is separate from installed printer drivers so it is expected that the application isn't retaining what is configured in the printer drivers.
    (A change to a local or network printer's printer driver configuration does not "touch" the PDF viewer's configuration. - Cinnamon added to the mug of mulled applejack does not change the wine in the adjacent wine glass.)
    Adobe Reader defaults to whatever a given PDF page's page orientation happens to be.
    Using Acrobat one can permanently change a PDF's page orientation.
    Be well...

  • Adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'

    since adobe reader 10.1.2 urls don't work in pdf files to folders.
    C:\WINDOWS\xy.xls  
    ok
    C:\WINDOWS
    not ok > adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'
    C:\WINDOWS
    ok > with deactivated protected mode
    no problems with 9.5.0 or 10.1.1 with activated protected mode 
    is that known? any other workaround?
    thanks

    Hi,
         I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Adobe Reader X standalone client does not recognize default browser.

    Adobe Reader works fine if I'm on a webpage and open a PDF. It opens in the browser as it should.
    I have PDF files on my hard drive. I can start up Adobe Reader from the desktop and read them, but if I click a link inside the PDF, it opens in Internet Explorer which is not my default browser. I use Firefox as my browser.
    Reader 9.4 works great but this new one doesn't cut it and Adobe doesn't provide any support for it that I can find.
    I am using Firefox 3.6.18 on Windows Vista. I have reset my default browser several different ways now. I've made IE the default and then Firefox again. I've gone into Firefox options and told it to Check to be sure it is default. I've gone into default programs and re-chosen Firefox. Nothing has worked.
    I have 2 questions:
    1) Does anybody know how to actually contact Adobe about Reader?
    2) Does anybody know a setting for Reader anywhere that I can tweak to fix this? I'm not afraid of the registry but I'm not going to experiment in it either.

    I was able to resolve this by disabling Protected Mode at startup.
    Go to Edit > Preferences > select General tab > uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" > restart Reader.
    I do not consider this a fix since I have now disabled some of the security given to us with the upgrade. This is merely a work-around.
    I submitted a bug report to Adobe. Who knows if they'll respond to it.
