Adobe Reader seems to have uninstalled and i can not install.

Hi guys,
I tried to open a PDF yesterday and found that Reader (v10) appears to have uninstalled itself (I have not uninstalled it since its last update and my flat mate states she has not touched any of my programmes). I downloaded the latest version from your website (v10.1.1) using firefox and found that when i tried to run the installation file, nothing happens. Task manager shows the process as running but it is not consuming any CPU use. I tried shutting down all other programmes and the same thing happens. I left the laptop for a while to see if it would run but it does not. I'm running windows vista.
Thanks,
K

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like

Then, download the Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and perform a clean install.

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAC (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK)

    I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAX (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK

    This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
    But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things.

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • Adobe Reader seems to have reverted to a more primitive version

    I opened a PDF yesterday and it appears that my Adobe Reader used for reading PDFs has gone back to a more primitive version, which is odd considering in the 2 years I have had this computer I have never had such version on my computer. I have a Mac and am running mountain lion 10.8.5. Basically the layout of Adobe is now looking like it does on my PC work computer which is a 2006. I can no longer highlight in color nor make notes in color and the more advanced layout is now just primitive and plain. Is there anyway for me to get back the highlight in color and the newer lay out?
    Thanks

    Are you sure it is Adobe Reader running? What is the App Name - shown just after the apple icon in the menu bar at the top?

  • Can't rate photos in Bridge - options seem to have disappeared and Bridge is not responsive?

    When I'm going through my photos to begin culling, I can't seem to rate any of my pictures.. I don't know how or why this has happened because I could do this a few days ago. When I use the hotkeys to rate photos now nothing happens, and even the Ratings filter option seems to have disappeared. I've purged the cache from the folders and nothing seems to help. I'm using OS X Mavericks and the latest update on Bridge.

    I'm in the same boat. I used the same computer to rate some of the photos and after a repair and complete re-install I can't rate anything anymore.

  • Adobe reader for PC using Sony PRS T3--Can not sign in/read books

    I bought a Sony PRS T3 that uses Adobe reader for PC(Available from https://ebookstore.sony.com/download)to download pdf books. First to set it up, I installed the software and plugged in the reader. Then I was presented with this screen. Remember I have signed up for two accounts--One sony's e reader store and one adobe account. First I use the sony reader store account as asked:
    I use my own email obviously, and then I am presented with a second screen on top of the existing log in screen. I use my Adobe Account here:
    After that, I am looped by the same pop up again and again and this keeps on happening despite me putting the right password AND checking the credentials to see if they work on adobe's site(yes they do). I am presented with no errors, just that login pop up again and again:
    Please help me solve this problem and the sad part is I am already past the 30 day refund period and I opened the reader today. Thanks in advance.

    This is the view of myself and many others... from what I am reading on the forums this app sucks... is horrid... does not work.
    I used the Reader Library app since I got my ebook from sony over a year ago never had real bad issures with it till now.. I look for updates and find this one only to have it hang my computer for such long periods of time... i have a quad core desktop with fairly new hardrives and lots of memory , in fact we use it to online game with heavy user apps..
    I try to use this new Reader app and it has to be the worst i have tried .. i even tried a few others when i started having such problems with your app. Others run fine. but can not read my DRM books.. truly sad..
    Whoever wrote this needs a new job.. never writing software again.
    this sounds harsh but you are running away customers ... big time.
    or do you think you will keep them cause of your name... Nope.. people will mover to what ever is easiest to use. this is not supposed to be diffucult.. but your company is making it so.
    REmember .. KISS is the base of all systems that work and advance.
    your original Reader Library program did that it worked and you didn't need a degree to run it.
    Someone in your company does need to get this info and get a soultion or you will loose more customers.. I will not recomend this product at this time or until you get it right. I have promoted your products in the past 20+ yrs. but if this is how you treat loyalty for get us.
