Adobe Reader Version XI closes due to "problem" a few seconds after opening

I've been reinstalling software after replacing a bad hard drive.  Downloading Adobe's latest version XI and installed but couldn't get it to work. The screen fades after a few seconds of opening, and an error message box pops up announcing that the program has experienced a "problem" and must close, and that Windows is looking for a solution and will notify me if one is found....  I installed/uninstalled several times, even tried to repair, to no avail.  Finally downloaded old version X, and it's working like a charm.  Is anyone else exeriencing this with the new XI version?

If you have a packet sniffing tool like Fiddler or Wireshark, could just see if Reader is trying to access something on network?

  • Secunia reports Adobe Reader version 9.1.2.82 on system is insecure after updating to 9.1.3

    I updated Reader to version 9.1.3 using the update program file. The previous version was 9.1.2. Reader Help/About now reports it as being version 9.1.3 as expected. After  updating Reasder Secunia reports Reader as insecure and version detected as 9.1.2.82  and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe as location. When  check the properties for the file AcroRd32.exe it shows as being version 9.1.0.163. The file AcroRd32.dll does have a version of 9.1.2.82. I cannot find a file with a version of 9.1.3. The most recent date modified is one file with a date of 7/22/09 and the next earliest is 5/21/09.

    I've been seeing the same thing, but I'm not worried, as I know I have the latest Reader installed.
    But I have no idea where Secunia (PSI) is getting that version number '9.1.2.82' from...

  • Adobe reader hanging for a few seconds after opening, what's the cause?

    Hello, I have the following problem: I open a pdf file in Adobe Reader and initially it woks fine, I can navigate and so on, but after about 20 s it suddenly gets like frozen so that I can do nothing but wait until when after about 15 s it recovers and I can continue reading and moving around. It is just an annoyance since it happens every time I open a document. I have installed several actualizations (icluding the last one) of the program but the problem is still there. It is like if some conflictive process starts shortly after the openning and after it finnishes the program works fine again. I have looked in the tasks administrator to see if I find some parallel process that may start itself but as far as I can see nothing more starts after AcroRd32.exe.
    Some idea?
    Thank you in advance

  • Photos app closes on its own in few secs after opening in ios8, how to fix it?

    PPhotos app in iPad 3, closes down immediately after opening on its own. This is happenening with ios8 and not before.
    how to fix it?

    Try closing the Photos app and then reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • [SOLVED] xterm Closes a Few Seconds After Opening

    Using awesome, no DE. As in the title, xterm closes itself about 4 seconds after I open it with no errors displayed. I don't even know how to begin to figure out what's going wrong.
    Any ideas?

    How do you launch it?  What's in your .bashrc?  Do errors show up in the xlog or on the tty you launched X from?  Do other terminals do the same thing?  If no to the last question, what happens when you launch xterm from a working terminal emulator?

  • Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

    Ver 8 installed fine but can't get it to launch from any application. Have tried going back to earlier versions (6.1,6.2,7) but the same problem occurs.
    Same error message each time:
    "Adobe Reader 8.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
    AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.0.0.456 ModName: acrord32.dll
    ModVer: 8.0.0.456 Offset: 00020916
    Tried every troubleshooting tip in the Support Knowledgebase to no avail.
    Have been using Reader for years with never any problems and now I can't seem to get this fixed after numerous hours.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is there a free support line I can call or is it paid support only?
    Thanks,
    Dee

    Like others my problem was Adobe Reader 8.1.2 died terribly and with a buggy stench with the following error:
    AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: msvcr70.dll
    ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6
    RESOLUTION ON XP SP2
    1. Control Panel, Users
    2. Create a new user account NewUser (for example)
    3. Start, Log Off
    4. Switch Users to the NewUser
    5. Wait the mini eternity for new user to be set up.
    6. Start Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 and you will see a red splash screen along with some license updating things.
    7. Adobe 8.1.2 now starts fine under NewUser
    8. Switch back to your regular user name. Start, Log off, Switch Users
    Now a note to Adobe. Do you folks really have to make this such a frickin pain to get working? Do you at Acrobat have any idea of how much time we users blow and how much of our lives pass by while we try to re-download and work with this product? You are directly responsible for a small slow down in the world economy by this. Get the hint.... create an 8.1.3 that omits the secret code steps above.
    The only thing that kept my sanity during this were nice songs on channel 86 on SIRIUS. Thank you SIRIUS.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader Version 9.1.1 - Unable to close Adobe Reader.

    Using Firefox Version 3.0.10, under Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit, patched as of today.
    I open a pdf file, Adobe Reader opens a new window, I can read/print pdf file.
    I select "Close" (Red X in upper right hand corner.) nothing happens.
    I select "File", select "Exit".
    An Adobe Reader message window pops up with "This action cannot be performed from within an external window.".
    I select "OK" message window goes away, but Adobe Reader is still there.
    I then closed Firefox.
    Try to close Adobe Reader again with the same results.
    Reboot the system.
    Open Firefox, select another web site, open a pdf, read/print pdf file.
    Try to close Adobe Reader, same results.
    This started after Adobe Reader was updated to version 9.1.1.
    Any ideas?

    It looks like ZoneAlarm Security Suites product Force Field with Virtualization Enabled may have something to do with strange behaviour.
    When I just open pdf files that are on the local machine, I don't have a problem, just on remote systems.
    I already know ZoneAlarm Support will blame this on Adobe Readers most recent update, since it worked with the previous version of Adobe Reader.
    Any ideas?

  • Adobe Reader want open - 'Adobe Reader 9.4 has encountered a problem and needs to close'

    Hello,
    Idesperatelly need a help with this. Adobe Reader simply can't open and I have over and over the same information 'Adobe Reader 9.4 has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Obviously there is error raport created for this problem and the help I have from Microsoft is absolutelly useless. I already uninstall all acrobate and adobe programs and install adobe reader again, but nothing change. Now I stuck with some different program as temporary solution and no solution for this problem. Please if anybody have idea how to solve it... Pls heeelp!!!!

    After 3 uninstall's and 3re-installs for AR 9.4 and no solutions forthcoming from the AR tech's/personnel, I have decided to go with another PDF reader that seems to be working fine.  Please remove me from your e-mail listing.  I tried but not successful as I still receive mail from Adobe about problems not even related to mine. During my search at adobe, I found many users with the same problem but no fix available.  You would think that a update correcting these product would be in order.  So again, remove me from the AR e-mail list.  TU

  • Adobe reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close

    How many other ADOBE subscribers have suffered the same frustrations as we have?
    Over the last 4 days and numerous hours of frustration installing and uninstalling ADOBE 9.1 [and 7.1 and 8.1.3] to resolve the unknown cause of the current Adobe message - ."Adobe reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close" ..... without identifying the problem..... or its' cause.
    Numerous error reports were forwarded to Adobe, but without response!
    Unable to converse/communicate with anyone at Adobe Technical Support, it was suggested that we review Adobe Forums to see if anyone else was having similar UNKNOWN problems.  Sure enough we found many subscribers [probably hundreds] suffering the same frustrations during the downloading of 9.1 upgrade AND former upgrades. We also found a band-aid solution to the UNLNOWN Adobe problem - at the suggestion of others we created and logged into a new account - a nuisance, but it works..... so far!
    It makes you wonder if ADOBE ever reads what's going on.  If they did, perhaps they good avert the problem/s and prevent service/subscriber discontent.
    We certainly don't intend to ever download another Adobe upgrade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The "Adobe Reader X.x has encountered a problem and needs to close" has been up very many times and a variety of solutions has been suggested.
    (If necessary to do a re-install then un-install and turn off protection-programs + re-boot - check the stayed turned off - before re-installing !)

  • Help! - Error: Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.(5/07/08)

    When I download and install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 the final installation messages says it was a successful installation. All looks good, but when I try to open it I get the error message:
    Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed several times, but with the same result.
    I have Windows XP Pro, plenty of free disc space and memory.
    I used to have Adobe Reader 7, and it worked perfectly. I inadvertently uninstalled it, and wish I could re-install it but that download doesnt seem available.
    Attempts to fix:
    Cleaned disc and de-fragmented.
    Disabled antivirus software.
    Ideas anyone?
    Thanks, Jeff

  • Type3 Fonts problems since adobe reader version 9

    hello adobe support team,
    i develop software for a client, who has a problem with his pdfs since the adobe reader version 9. Older versions have no problems. Its has something to do with the Type3 Fonts.
    The generated pdf have since the version 9 a blue box, before the image/font is correct.
    * There is changment to the version 9 in the point type3 ?
    * There is the chance that in the next pdf reader version it works again?
    thank you for help
    ps:
    i could send a pdf example

    You should not be required to enter a password to download a password protected  pdf file. Only opening the file. Let use be a little bit more careful with telling us what is going on by describing what you are doing step by step. Are you downloading a file using Safari, Firefox or Chrome? What version number of the program or are you using another utility like Fetch or  Interarchy. Let us assume you are using Safari for the moment. Are you double clicking on a link or control/right clicking on the the url to download the file. Can you tell the name of the file you are downloading?

  • Barcode size problem in different adobe reader versions

    Hi,
    In one of my requirements of Adobe form, I am displaying barcode for a value. The problem is of size of barcode which varies on different machines based on Adobe Reader version.
    On one machine 'Adobe Reader' version 9.4.0 is installed and on other machine 'Adobe Reader X' version 10.0.1 is installed. The barcode is displayed in correct size in version 10.0.1 while only half barcode is displayed in version 9.4.0 when value of the property 'Data length' is set to 10 (which is default).
    If I set the value of same property to 26 in order to fit the barcode in specified space in version 9.4.0, same barcode is displayed in half size in version 10.0.1.
    Kindly give suggestions.
    Regards.

    You cannot use Reader X until it has been installed. Installing means that the appropriate configuration has been entered into the Windows Registry. Copying a folder from another computer doesn't achieve that goal.
    Here's what I suggest you do now.
    Run this Microsoft fix first of all: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Uninstall via Reader via Add/Remove Programs
    Download and install Reader X from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/
    P.S. There are some programs which are so called 'Standalone' apps. That means that the executable will run without using a system's processes. But Adobe Reader isn't one of them.

  • Adobe Reader 9 automatically closes

    Whenever I open Adobe Reader 9.0, whether directly from the shortcut or through opening a pdf document, the program will close after approximately 10-20 seconds, with the usual "Adobe Reader 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and the choice to send an error report. I tried re-installing (the download is directly from this website) and restarting computer, but neither worked. One thing that I noticed is that the installation bar won't run to 100%, despite the fact that all steps have been completed. It will freeze at 99.90%, with the "resume" button grayed out, leaving me with either "cancel" or "pause" choices. I had no choice but to click "cancel".
    Thanks for any help.

    Thank you, I have received an email answer to this query, switching browser has solved the problem.

  • Adobe Reader Versions Compatible with Window 7 & I.E. 8.0

    We have a few users that experience blank pages or a pop-up with no text and only an OK button when trying to open an Adobe (web) Form with Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.4.2 or 9.4.0 on Window 7 and I.E. 8.  Adobe Reader X is not an option since it is not supported within our firm. Does anyone have a list of the compatible Adobe Reader Versions for Windows 7 and I.E. 8. I'm sure this is highly unlikely, but does Adobe have a matrix that indicates the compatible version according to O.S. and Browser?

    What is your operating system and email client?  If you use web-based email, in what browser?
    What exactly does "not work" mean?  I have no problems using Save As with email attachments and Reader 11.0.6.
