Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7

For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!

Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:

It seems there are some errors in Spanish, probably because they come from Windows, which is configured in Spanish in my PC. "El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado" means "The system cannot find the file specified".
I hope you can find the problem with that information.

  • What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

    QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
    AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
    To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
    Reinstall the Driver
    Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
    Power Cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery if removed.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Start the computer and test the drive
    Microsoft Fix-it
    Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
    Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
    Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
    The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
    The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
    You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
    If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
    System Restore
    Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    System Recovery
    If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
    For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    Contact Customer Support
    If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

    See this Microsoft article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us  For ways to fix manually

  • Adobe Reader XI Doesn't work!

    Adobe Reader XI won't validate, so it won't work.  It won't update. It won't uninstall.  I am stuck with a program that won't work and I can't download it again, as it says, it's already there.  UGH!  Help!  (And I am not super computer literate, so if you have suggestions, please make them for a toddler to understand!)  Thanks!!!

    Hi Pat,
    When the Adobe reader opens a PDF document, it will show the first page, then a text box will pop-up that says it cannot "validate" and then it says the program needs to close, and closes. When I tried repeatedly to remove the program, it would say it wanted to update.  If I said no, don't update, it stopped working and did nothing.  If I said Yes, update, it said the program was in use (trying to remove) and to close the program first.  I did keep going around and around with it last night, and, hallelujah, it uninstalled.  I haven't redownloaded the program, because I think this version of Adobe doesn't like Norton Antivirus (I didn't click yes to macafee, because I don't want it).  So, currently I don't have any PDF reader.  But, it is no longer making me crazy, because it isn't there. You're the best for  your sane reply to a crazy woman stuck in an Adobe loop. Much appreciated!

    "...the installer had a mistake which meant the preview handler did not work on 64-bit systems.
    It turned out the problem could be fixed via a simple registry change. The change is described below and a small program which performs the fix is also provided for your convenience.
    Unlike the thumbnail fix, described below, the preview handler fix should no longer be needed by most people, since Adobe have finally fixed their installer, but it's still provided in case it helps repair things. If you had Adobe Reader installed under Vista and later upgraded to Windows 7 then you will probably still need to run the preview handler fix once to clean up a registry value which Adobe set inconsistently between the two OS versions. If in doubt, run the fix and it will tell you if anything needs to be done. If everything is good already then the preview handler fix won't change anything."
    Hope that helps. I have the same problem.

  • Adobe Reader X doesn't work.

    I've downloaded Adobe Reader X based on the installation advice of Adobe.
    The reader does not function at all, I cannot open any pdf file or open the program itself.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the program several times.
    Although I only need the Reader, I note that Adobe AIR is being installed too.
    I'm running XP Professional; I'm not computer literate enough to know how to solve this issue.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Insert PDFs into Power Point with Adobe Reader 10 doesn't work

    Hello,
    When I try to insert a PDF Document into a Power Point Sheet (Microsoft Office 2003) the following an error occurred: "Die Serveranwendung , die Quelldatei oder das Element konnte nicht gefunden werden oder ein unbekannter Fehler wurde zurückgemeldet. Installieren Sie die Serveranwendung unter Umständen erneut." In English it would be somethink like: "Die Serverapplikation, the sourcefile or the element could not be found or an unknown error get recalled. According to the circumstances install the serverapplication again."
    The error appears when I click in Power Point on "Insert" then on "Object" and then on "OK" if the Adobe Acrobat Document is selected. The error occurred since I use Adobe Reader X on Windows XP and on Windows 7.
    Have anyone any idea, or know a solution?
    Greetings from Cologne

    Hallo Andreas,
    hier wie versprochen die Keys um den Geschützen Modus per Gruppenrichtlinie zu de/aktiveren.
    Der Key für Geschützer Modus wenn er aktiviert ist lautet:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000001
    Und demensprechend lautet der Key für den deaktiverten "Protected Mode":
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    Hallo Werner,
    wir benutzen hier Windows 7 x64, sowie Windows XP x86. Allerdings haben wir bei beiden Systemen keine Probleme wenn wir den Geschützen Modus deaktiveren.
    Kannst du mir vielleicht noch die nachfolgenden 3 Fragen beantworten, damit ich ein bessere Vorstellung vom Problem habe?
    Welches MS Office (bzw. PP) nutzt ihr?
    Über welchen Weg bzw. über welche Funktion wollt ihr das PDF in PP implmentieren/einbetten?
    Wie genau lautet der Text der Fehlermeldung?
    Grüße aus dem verregneten Köln

  • The downloaded Adobe Reader XI doesn't work!

    This might be known, but I have never experienced it! I downloaded Adobe Reader XI, and when I wanted to open a pdf file, Adobe started....... and disappeared! I thought maybe I had done something wrong, so I tried once more, but with the same result! I found that I wanted to have the old version (X) back, so I unloaded XI and reinstalled X, but ......, you know what? Now the same happened with the old version! There's definitely something wrong here, but what? I think I have tried everything that's supposed, but have come up blank! Can anybody help me?

    Hi Puerta40,
    Have you had a look here? It might solve your problem... http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html

  • Z580 - touchpad doesn't work properly on Windows 10

    hello. I did Windows 10 clean install on my Z580 and I noticed there are some minor flaws regarding touchpad, namely: 1. one finger edge scrolling doesn't work. only two finger scrolling is available2. two finger tap doesn't open context menu, even though the option is enabled in Synaptics settings the touchpad is made by Synaptics and I'm using drivers that got installed via Windows Update (version 19.0.9.5)

    It is really strange. Have you installed something that can have negative influence on well working Synaptics driver?
    > What can I do to ensure that the problem is solved for every time?
    Thats good question. Only thing you can do and be sure everything will be OK is to install original recovery image you got with your notebook. At this point everything should work properly.
    I don't know what are you doing later but for me it sounds like some drivers conflict.
    Sorry but on this virtual way it is not possible to be more specific.

    I have installed the trial version of Windows 7 on my laptop and now my Premiere CS4 doesn't play the timeline in real time anymore. It worked fine with Windows Vista. I have also installed the newest Premiere update, but it didn't help. Is there a patch for Windows 7 (64bit) or will I have to wait until the full version comes out and try it again then?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's a laptop and probably an older one, that means it is probably underpowered.
    It's a laptop and that probably means it is a single 5400 rpm disk which is inadequate.
    Bill,
    Probably good observations. I tend to loose sight of the fact that most laptops are not like mine and forget the common limitations. One mentions "laptop," and I see my Sager - duh! on me.
    To the OP, this ARTICLE might also offer some tips on getting your computer ready for an NLE session. Common references are to how things are done in XP-Pro (my OS), but you should be able to "read between the lines," and adapt the general concepts to Win7 and your setup.
    Also, giving full specs. on your laptop might help greatly, otherwise we're all just guessing. Bill brings up a couple of critical points. Your details will either point to them, or dismiss them.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    pacman -Syu vlc

  • ALT+TAB doesn't work properly in Windows 8.1

    Holding ALT+TAB will activate the flip 2D to switch from a window to another. The problem is that this function remains active for a very short time and I'm not able to select the window I want in the foreground. I also noticed that
    when I put the cursor on an icon on the taskbar, the live preview thumbnail disappears quickly.
    With a safe mode restart the problem is no longer there, all is fine! With a clean install of Windows 8.1(no driver and applications installed) the problem is here again; obviously disappears with a safe mode restart also in this situation. What's the problem?
    A Windows process or service?
    Details: OS Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit | Laptop Dell
    UPDATE: I tried(casually) to deactivate the charging of the battery from the manufacturer software and all works fine! When I active the charging the problem returns. Any suggestions? I can't remove manually the battery from the laptop bacause
    it's unibody.

    If behavior doesn’t persist in safe mode, it indicates that a third party program or service is preventing-You did the right thing to go through Clean Boot.Have you disabled all
    the services and checked or went through one by one method?I shall suggest you to disable each service one after another to find out which specific service is trying to prevent the process.

  • DSC xWebsite doesn't work properly in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 because of Get-Website cmdlet

    I'm trying to use DSC to create a new web site using a configuration similar to
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/xWebAdministration-Module-3c8bb6be. What I found is if the web site doesn't exist the xWebsite resource fails because Get-Website cmdlet even if filtered by -Name seems to ignore the filter and return
    something. To fix this problem I had to customize the xWebsite resource and changed
    Get-Website $Name to Get-Item -Path "IIS:\Sites\$Name" at least in a couple of places (Test-TargetResource and Set-TargetResource).
    I hope this behavior is fixed in a next version of the Get-Website cmdlet or otherwise the workaround is implemented at the xWebsite resource.

    You are posting in the wrong place for this.  You should post in the DSC forum.
    If you have issues with CmdLets or MS software then post you issue in connect.

  • Zen Vision:m 30gb doesn't work properly with Windows 7 64bit

    I recently upgraded my pc from an old xp machine to a new one running windows 7 ultimate. Creative says their media player software that originally shipped with the zen does not support windows 7, so i should use windows media player (the version that ships with windows 7; i cannot find a help dialog box with the version number). Creative also says that the zen vision:m uses only microsoft MTP drivers, so I don't need to upgrade any drivers and it should be compatible. However, although the zen vision:m connects fine and I can see the mp3 files on the zen HDD, I cannot play them in the main windows media player screen. I can only double click on files and play them in the small windows media player window without any controls. Of course, I can't import any of the zen mp3 files into the music library in windows media player or set up any playlists. I checked every menu item and dialog box that i can think of on my zen and in windows 7, but nothing appears to be relevant to this problem. Any ideas, other than buying a brand new mp3 player? TIA

    When you connect it & open it WMP click on the SYNC tab of the program. Choose the files you want to sync to the computer then hit SYNC . The files should transfer to the computer. (check your settings as to where you want the files to go.)

  • Adobe Reader Updates Fail - Always. Why?

    No Adobe Reader has ever updated successfully on any computer I have ever owned. Other parties' product updates invariably succeed. To update, I must completely uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install from scratch. I have this problem only with this product. Moreover, Adobe Reader updates have never worked on any computer I have ever owned, bar none.
    Why just Adobe Reader?

    Are you talking about updates or upgrades. Upgrades require the download of the new version, typically uninstall of the old version, and then the install of the new version. If updates, just what errors are you getting? Just saying it does not work does not help us help you. You might also ask in the Reader forum.
