Adobe Reader 11 Closes Seconds After Openeing

I have Adobe Reader 11 and it will open for a few second and then close automatically. I have windows 7. I have used Adobe's cleaning tool to remove all traces of the reader and then restarted my computer. I downloaded it again and reinstalled the reader. I restart my computer. I still have the issue. Please advise.

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe reader hangs (no response) after opening

    I have tried both versions 10 and 11.  Either one will hang after the program opens with or without a file to read.  It appears to be trying to access something (the internet?) but never completes that op and will not respond to any command after that.  I am running windows 7 and I have current Java installed as well.  Uninstalling and reinstalling from different reader source sites did not help.

    That may be the actual problem (trying to access files that are no longer on a connected drive at program startup) since the reader page
    shows several recently opened documents, some on a flash drive which I no longer have available. Reducing the number of documents recently used to 1 sounds like a good workaround except that my Reader X will not open at all. It never times out in its search for files to
    check (if that's what it is doing) so I can't get to edit preferences.
    Note: this program is supposed to be a universal tool to use freely. As such, it should be simple enough to be bullet proof and always work ..... like a sonic screwdriver, when you need it you really need it to work! As it is now, I do not want to see any new PDF documents. If I have to open one, I go to one of the other PDF reader programs. Even with all their bugs and ********, they do work on MOST files. Way better that Adobe. I wish I had paid for Reader just so I could call them up and cuss them out for selling such junk.
    Oh and thanks for the tip anyway, mea culpa.

  • After installing a required update, many of my normal applications (Word, Chrome, Adobe Reader) will simply crash after opening. Why?

    I recently installed a required printer (epson) update on my Macbook Pro (running Mt Lion).  After installing and going through the required restart, I discovered that many of my existing applications will not open; instead they simply crash moment after opening.  Prior to the update installation, everything worked fine.  I have gone through the disk utiities program and repaired the various disk permissions that needed changing and still nothing. My MacBook Pro is 4 years old, runs Mt Lion and has plenty of disc space available.  What do I need to do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Newly installed adobe reader shuts down immediately after opening

    I just installed Adobe Reader (on a Windows 7 computer) but when trying to open it it starts up and shuts down immediately. I have another PDF generator which came with the computer (Stat Nova PDF) which could be interferring with Adobe reader.
    With Adobe reader installed neither PDF software works.
    Is there a setting to make Adobe the default PDF reader?
    I cannot risk uninstalling the original PDF software (Stat Nova PDF), as this is for an urgent job and cannot risk having no functional PDF reader at all.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks heaps for that Pat,
    It seems to have worked.
    Just out of curiosity. Why does one have to re-accept the licence agreement when we already accept it during the installation process?
    Thank you again for your help

  • Adobe reader XI closes when I open MS Word 2013

    what can I do?

    Hi Sir.olly,
    There is any such link between MS office and Adobe Reader.
    You may still try launch Adobe Reader, make sure all the other application including browsers are closed. Go to help menu --> click on Repair Adobe Reader installation.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue try uninstall Adobe Reader using cleaner Tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html . Re install Reader, update and check again.

  • Why Photoshop CC will close after 10 seconds after opening?

    Why Photoshop CC will close after 10 seconds after opening?

    I seem to have the same problem, but following the link given above has only been partially successful.
    It tells me to find a log file, and then to look up the error messages in a Knowledge Base. I've found the error messages, but the link to the Knowledge Base doesn't seem to lead anywhere very helpful.
    The 'ERROR' from my most recent attempt to launch Ps reads:
    "08/17/14 21:13:53:333 | [ERROR] |  |  |  | RoyaltyTableParser |  |  | 1028 | Signature successfully validated for royalty table"
    which on the face of it doesn't look much like an error. But I can't find this Knowledge Base to look it up. Most of the other lines in the log file are labelled as '[INFO]', though some say '[DEBUG]'.
    I'm running Win7 (64).

  • IDVD 7.1.2 closes right after opening in OS 10.9.5

    I have a 27-inch iMac (Mid 2010) with a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory and a 1TB SATA Internal Hard Drive.  I have the most current issue of iDVD (7.1.2) which worked fine when I created a DVD on August 24, 2014.  I then upgraded my OS to Mavericks (10.9.5) on September 24, 2014.  On October 12, I attempted to make a DVD from a short video I had taken and iDVD closes or crashes 10 to 15 seconds after opening.  This leads me to believe that for some reason it is not compatible with Mavericks.
    I am wondering if this is the case or if there is a fix for this.  If not is there another DVD creating program available in the App store that would work as good or better that I could purchase to solve this dilemma.

    Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Adobe Reader XI will not stay open.

         I recently installed Adobe Reader XI. Whether I open the program directly or double-click a PDF document the results are the same. I briefly see the blank Reader application window, then it closes. I have run the Repair function from Control Panel with no positive results. Can someone tell me what the problem and solution is? Thank you.

    Pat, I downloaded and ran the clean utility, then attempted to install all three Adobe Reader versions available on the link you provided, uninstalling and installing as needed. I experienced the same problem with all versions. I spoke to a colleague about what was happening, and he had me reinstall Adobe Reader XI and attempt to start it. After getting the same result, he asked me to look at the Event Viewer. We saw the entry below. I navigated to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\ folder and double-clicked the Eula.exe. It displayed the End User License Agreement window and I clicked 'Accept'. After doing that I was able to start the Reader without issue and it all seems to be working fine now. Pretty weird. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know in case it provided any useful information. It may be just a weirdism on my laptop. It certainly woudn't be the first. It's a Lenovo Thinkpad and I've renamed it a Stinkpad, for good reason. Thanks for your assistance and professional expertise, and let me know if there is anything else (logs, etc.) if you think it would be helpful or useful.

  • Photoshop CC, Flash CC, After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC all Closes right after opening????

  • Apps close right after opening - IOS 5

    Just upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 5. Some apps that worked fine before upgrading ios, now close a few seconds after opening them. Any clues on how to solve this? (already tried reboot, delete app and re-install... doesn't work)

    I was under the impression that any apps that you currently had on your iPad would work with the new updated iOS. However, I can't remember why I even think that but I probably read here on this site.
    In any event, I believe the overwhelming majority of your apps should still work even if some will not under the new iOS. What I'm saying is that there may be something else going on that will require something additional on your part - perhaps restoring your device to factory settings and then restore to your backup.
    iBooks is an Apple App but there are other reasons why the apps could be crashing. You could try closing all of the apps in the recents tray and restart and see if that helps, but you may need to restore your device(s) if nothing else works.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Adobe Reader X closes when I press any key in the keyboard.

    Hello,
    I have recently updated my windows from xp to 7 and installed the latest version of adobe reader. Then I encountered a problem, after some time using my PC, Adobe Reader would close whenever I touched any key in my keyboard, but not on my mouse, so I could only view pdf files by moving around using the mouse, and loss funcionalities like searching for a word in the document, or saving it with a different name. The only way to solve this problem was to restart my PC, and then everything would be allright for a while, then the problem happened again. I uninstalled and installed Adobe again, however this problem persists, so I'm seeking help here.
    There is another thread with the same problem here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/901383, however it's dead and no solution is presented.
    Any help would be great, regards from Chle.

    I answer myself, solution is here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3806894#3806894, it took me a while to find it though.

  • Firefox crashes a few seconds after opening except in safe mode - even after reinstall

    When I open firefox it crashes a few seconds after opening.
    I have backed up my profile, uninstalled and reinstalled. (But not restored any of my profile). But it is still crashing in the same way.
    These are the last 5 crash logs

    I think the initial problem might have been caused by IB Updater - IncrediBar
    I have uninstalled this in the windows control panel and it no longer shows up in the add-ons list (in safe mode). I have also run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but this didn't find anything.
    I am also running Avast Anti virus.
    The trouble shoot information below if from running in safe mode as it doesn't stay open long enough in normal mode.
    Any help greatly appreciated !

    Thanks!! That worked a treat and I wouldn't of ever thought this was the problem :)
    Really appreciate your quick reply.

  • Final Cut Express HD (3.5) closes right after opening?

    Hi,
    I believe years ago I had this same issue and it was as simple as deleting the preferences (??).
    Basically, what's happening is I just installed FCE HD (3.5) on my G4. I meet the system requirements to run the application AND Soundtrack Pro and LiveType open and run fine. FCE closes immediately after opening and then I get an error: "The Application Final Cut Express Quit Unexpectedly."
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, sorry for being so confusing. That's exactely what I did. Since my main HD is 500Gb and my secondary drive is 120Gb, I just copied all the necessary files to the 500, formatted the 120, reinstalled OSX, and booted to it. The intention was to let the FCE software think it was installing on a fresh drive (which, it was).
    However, even then it won't let me install FCE. Just LT and Soundtrack. ?? I'm a bit confused because the system requirements for Soundtrack and LT are the same for FCE.
    I'm trying to install it on a Dual 1.25ghz G4 Quicksilver with 1.5Gb Ram. ??
    The funny thing is I WAS able to install the complete program initially when I got it. I had a previous copy of Final Cut Express (1) on my main drive. I ran the FCE HD installer, and the program installed just fine. However, it kept closing right after it would open. I figured it was a preference conflict between the newer version (3.5) and the old version (1.1). So, I've done my best trying to erase all evidence of FCE ever being on the drive and still get nowhere ??
    Thanks!
