Adobe Reader 9 asks to authenticate every time it opens

Running Adobe Reader 9 on an Intel Mac OS X 10.5.8. Every time I try to open it (whether from Firefox or on its own), it asks for my admin name & pwd. (We have set up this authentication for installing/updating/removing programs - but not for merely opening apps) If I don't authenticate then it tells me it "could not install correctly."
Have tried trashing the original app (and emptying the trash) and then re-downloading & re-installing with no success.
Any ideas? This is getting super annoying. TIA.

I found the following Adobe-related applications in the startup tab when I ran msconfig:
Reader_sl.exe
AdobeARM.exe
Acrotray.exe
Acrobat_sl.exe
Unchecking their boxes did not solve the problem. Abobe Reader 9.3.3 still installs itself upon every startup, making startup last a full 6 minutes.
Are there any other suggestions about how to fix this?
P.S. When I look in Add/Remove Programs within the control panel, I see that I have Adobe Acrobat 9 (v. 9.0.0), Acrobat.com (v. 2.1.0.0), and something that labels itself Adobe Reader 9.3.2, but it is actually version 9.3.3.

I've installed the Adobe Reader Plug In. Yet every time I click to see a PDF, it opens another browser and it is blank. The Browser reads about:blank. How can I fix this so that PDF's open in the browser?

Why does Safari ask me this every time I open my Macbook? "NONE OF YOUR PREFERRED NETWORKS ARE AVAILABLE. CHOOSE THE WI-FE NETWORK YOU WANT TO JOIN FROM THE LIST BELOW. "

InDesign (10.0.0.70) always asks to save every time I open an existing document (no legacy) even if I don't make any changes, why?

Literally EVERY time I open an existing document that I created myself before InDesign brings up the "Save" Dialog when I close it. I'm working with the Creative Suite like forever already and only had that sometimes, very rarely before (up to CS6). Now at my new job with CC set up this phenomenon appears. ALL files are saved on local hard drive!
Any idea or is InDesign now set to ask all the time?
Thanks for any tips!

I totally understand version issues, BUT I did create tons of new documents in CC2014 already and still every time I've been ask to save it only when opening and closing them! Like I said it happens EVERY time and I'm working constantly with InDesign. Up until now I only kinda accepted what it is and didn't have time to deal with that problem...

How do I get rid of an adobe textbox that shows up every time I open Firefox?

Adobe installed an update, I believe to my flashplayer and when it was finished, every time I opened my google page(Mozilla) I got a big box that said Adobe installer. There was no way to remove it so I went to add/delete programs and found the installer program and deleted it. Now instead of the Adobe installer box, I get a text box that says that the following path cannot be found. C\Documents+and+Settings\user\Application+Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profil es\3oq0kps1default\extensions\{E2883E8F-472F-4fb0-9522-AC9BF3716A7}\ch rome\content\getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe
This happens every time I open Mozilla. I get rid of the box by either hitting "OK" or the X at the upper right hand corner of the text box. Then the box goes away and Google opens.
I want to get ride of this box. How do I do it.
Thank you.

For future Flash Player updates, to get around that download manager, download the installer directly from http://http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

Installed Reader XI, which crashes every time I open a PDF

Windows 7 laptop
I've installed Reader XI more times than I care to count. I've done the cleanup uninstall thing. I've restarted before downloading, and restarted before running the install, and afterward, and I've used both Firefox and Chrome to download the installer .exe. I've turned off my virus checker during the install. The only thing I haven't done is let the *** thing install McAfee at the same time. And still when I open a PDF that used to open just fine on this machine with Reader X, I get:
Adobe Reader has stopped working.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES closes every time I open it :(

Hello all, I want to thank you beforehand for the help regarding this matter. I use Windows Vista and my Adobe LiveCycle Designer was working before but for the last week and a half or so I have not been able to get it to work! I have done scandisk/defrag/and have multiple software to keep my computer clean so I have taken those precautions beforehand. To the problem...:
My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working previously as mentioned, but when I try to open it by either opening or converting a form or creating a new form with a template, I am not able to as it gives me an error message and closes! It gives me an error message of "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working" and a screenshot of this is provided at the following link:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
I don't know what to do and wanted to see if I could solve this problem before I was forced to try to manually reinstall it so hopefully I don't have to go through that. I appreciate the help once again!

I am dealing with the same problem. I called Adobe technical support and spent hours to fix the problem but none worked. I tried to explain them the error might be caused by the Activation process but they just made me uninstall and install application several times.
When I start LiveCycle it gives the following error: adobe livecycle designer es has stopped working.
I start debugger to see what's going on and get the following exception: Unhandled exception at 0x773db663 in FormDesigner.exe: 0xC015000F: The activation context being deactivated is not the most recently activated one.
Does anyone know how to deactivate this product manually? Because deactivate menu is dimmed and I cannot deactivate product from the program. I believe if I can just remove activation info and activate it again this problem might disappear.
Thanks

Safari asking for UAC every time with Windows 7

Hi,
I have been using Safari for two years, never had any issue until yesterday, no updates or changes were made to the PC recently. The problem is Safari is asking for UAC every time I open it, Aero also gets disabled at times, I'm having exact issue posted in the following thread:- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12485852&#12485852
See this:- http://i52.tinypic.com/jjqis2.png
Safari never used to ask for UAC or disabled Aero before, I've run a full scan with my anti-virus, there is no sign of virus/spyware/malware etc.
My PC has current drivers from the manufacturer with all Windows Update applied, I'm also using most recent version of Safari. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Safari to no avail. Any help to pointer to solve this (other than disabling UAC) would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

... it's a strange one ...
The one thing I can think of that I know can produce the symptoms is if (somehow) the "Run as administrator" checkbox has been checked in the Compatibility tab of the preferences for your Safari.exe. (Sometimes they get ticked without user intervention, for no apparent reason.) So we'd better check on that, just in case.
Quit Safari first.
In Computer, open Local Disk C.
If you've got a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program Files" folder.
If you've got a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the Safari folder.
Right-click on your safari.exe and select "Properties"
Go to the Compatibility tab and make sure *no boxes whatsoever* are checked in the tab. (Just in case.)
Click OK.
Does Safari launch without the error now?

Adobe Reader 11.0.5 asks to save every file I open...

Every time I open a file just to look at it: When I exit, Adobe Reader asks if I want to save the file. This happens on every file I open, regardless of the source or type of PDF. It also happens when I open those files in Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 9. This has only started relatively recently. I didn't pay much attention at first, because I had other things on my mind, but now it is starting to concern me.
This reminds me of (way back in the day) when there were Word viruses going around which tried to install themselves in every Word document you opened.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or how I can get it to stop?

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

How to I stop Adobe Application Manager appearing and asking me to sign in every time I open a Creative Cloud application?

I'm all up to date and I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my Adobe software. I'm on a Mac using the latest version of OSX. The issue has been happening since I switched to a different Adobe ID about a week ago.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I've tried removing 'OPM.db' a few times now, restarting etc but I still have the same problem. The Application Manager still appears every time I open a CC app.
It appears twice when I open a CC application - the first time it asks me to sign in. Upon signing in, I get a 'Thank you' message. Then after the application has loaded it appears again telling me 'Don't let a good thing come to an end' and gives me the option to either 'License the software' or 'Start Trial'. I choose 'License the software' and I have to sign in again. I then get another 'Thank you' message!

I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.
