Adobe Reader X self terminates in XP SP3

I have installed Reader X on a Windows XP SP3 32-bit system but whenever I try to run it the program terminates itself straight away right after the splash screen. I do not have the same problem when using it on a Windows 7 64-bit system though.
Can anyone confirm a similar situation in XP?

Hi,
This is the exact issue I am having. It would open then self terminate within seconds. I was suggested to un-install the program. Now I cant get any visual, and there is an error message. AAARRRGH! So frustrated.

  • Adobe Reader XI Self Uninstall

    I have a network computer with GPO pushed Adobe Reader. The computer is Windows 7 x64. GPO for some reason does not push to this machine so I went and downloaded and installed Reader manually. I have dealt with Reader for 8 years with no issues, I started using GPO push 4 years ago with no issues. This computer is a month old and keeps uninstalling Reader with no prompt. Likely this happens at night while the machine is logged off but powered on. I have 4 other machines this has happened on, each of differing ages.
    Again, I did nothing to initiate an uninstall nor does the GPO reinstall anything.

    Enable full verbose MSI logging and check MSI log file next time it happens - in the very beginnig of the log there might be information which process has launched uninstallation.
    You will need to search for the log in 2 possible locations-
    User Temp folder
    or
    C:\Windows\Temp folder in case the process is launch in the SYSTEM account

  • Adobe Reader X crashes in Win XP SP3

    I installed the Adobe Reader X yesterday and it opends the file normally but after that whenever I close the .pdf file the reader starts itself automatically and crashes. The first error message is about Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library and when pressed OK overthere it gives AcorMissingCompWClass error. Worse this process keep continue. Again and again reader X start itself and crashes with two errors messages.
    I have to unintall to get rid of this mess.
    Any solution.

    Adobe Reader X is pure garbage. I've wasted a lot of time uninstalling it on all my computers. Now I have to waste more time to stop Adobe from hounding me that there are newer versions of it's worthless software out there.
    Once I stop this bleeding then I will look for an alternative to Adobe Reader and take my business elsewhere.

  • Help fails to launch in Adobe Reader X

    I've installed Adobe Reader X on an Windows XP SP3 PC. When I press <F1> or choose in the menu Help F1, help doesn't start but a error box pops up:
    I'll try to translate it: "The content off the online help can not been shown. Check if you can start the web browser or if you have authorization te the internet".
    All the other help have not this issue. When I click for help | Online support ... the web browser will start and show the webpage.
    This problem occurs on our “closed” PC and also on an Windows 7 PC. When I run it on an stand-alone PC with Internet connection it works perfectly.
    By the way, the protected mode is disabled.
    Who can help me?
    With kind regards,
    Johan de Man

    That's the problem. When saving MS Word 2007 documents that had headings in them as PDFs, the headings were converted to bookmarks. I can go back and open documents prior to mid-December 2011 and they have their bookmarks, but PDFs created in Word 2007 after that period (about the time I upgraded my Adobe Reader from 9 to X), do not have their headings converted to bookmarks.

  • Adobe Reader 10/10.1 document error when scrolling in IE

    I have Adobe Reader 10 installed on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7, both with Internet Explorer 8.  On XP, no problems.  However, on Windows 7, some documents (those with multiple pages and multiple fields) get " Document error 118"  when scrolling past one or two pages.  I have tried  this with Reader 10 and 10.1, same results on both platforms.  All documents are on our intranet.  Unfortunately due to some important external sites I cannot set "View PDF in Browser" to off, which solves this problem.
    One additional note, the website we use (again, it's internal/local domain) shows as a trusted site in the IE notification bar at the bottom, however when a PDF is open from that web site the URL shown is part of our domain but the IE windows shows it as an unknown zone....

    I am having exactly the same problem. I am using Windows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it is getting very frustrating.

  • I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

    I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

    Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

  • Adobe Reader X 10.1 Install Failing on XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit)

    After using the Customization Wizard 10 to create an .mst and executing the install via SCCM 2007 which I have done many times before, I am getting the following error on both the XP SP3 and Windows 7 (64 bit) machines in the Application Event Log:
    Product: Adobe Reader X (10.1.0) -- Error 2229.Database: . Could not load table 'ServiceInstall' in SQL query: SELECT `Name`,`DisplayName`,`ServiceType`,`StartType`,`ErrorControl`,`LoadOrderGroup`,`Dependenc ies`,`StartName`,`Password`,`ComponentId`,`Directory_`,`FileName`,`Arguments`,`Description ` FROM `ServiceInstall`, `Component`, `File` WHERE `ServiceInstall`.`Component_` = `Component`.`Component` AND (`Component`.`KeyPath` = `File`.`File`) AND (`Action` = 1 OR `Action` = 2).
    I used the following .msi to create the.mst:
    AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    Does anyone know where to go from here?
    Thanks, Sandy

    I have found another possible bug affecting network printing with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode on XP SP3 machines that has not been previously documented:
    A number of users in one office were not able to print with 10.1.2 in Protected Mode (even with the printing hotfix/patch previously released) to their default printer; however they were able to print fine with 10.0.1 in Protected Mode OR by disabling Protected Mode in 10.1.2.  They could print to Microsoft XPS Document Writer, however.
    The cause was determined to be an issue with capitilization of the printer name in the registry!  10.1.2 in Protected Mode seems to be sensitive to this for some strange reason, though other apps don't care.
    Check the following keys and ensure the capitalization of any references to name of your printer (or UNC path of the printer share) is consistent:
    HKCU\Printers\Connections
    HKCU\Printers\Settings
    HKCU\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows\Device
    In our case, the reference to the name of the default printer was in lowercase, while the printer path recorded under settings was in UPPERCASE.   Changing this to match immediately fixed the problem.

  • Reinstall/repair adobe reader 11.0.08 on win xp pro sp3 - ole trouble.

    Hi,
    i want to reinstall adobe reader 11.0.08 on win xp pro sp3.
    Reinstallint using setup seem to work, but ole is not working: e.g. from word , I do insert object, click ole , select adobe acrobat object, then app freezes.
    2 processes are created dor adobe reader and I have to do "end-task".
    Inserting another ole object (e.g. excel) works!
    I tried uninstall from control panel.
    I also downloaded and ran acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p1_061713 and acrobat_ittools_cleaner_p2_061713 (downloaded from your web site), then reboot and reinstall. No change!
    Any hint?

    Hi albourg,
    Try disabling the protected mode in Reader and check the performance.
    You can find the option at: Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Enable Protected Mode at startup

  • How to apply for self-developed plug-in signatures licensing about Adobe Reader

    Our company is doing something in the field of electronic certification industry, which uses Adobe reader to sign PDF files based on various signature algorithms. While, there is a problem that Adobe reader does not support PDF signature based on the signature algorithm of SM2. To solve the problem, we have developed an API file. And now, we can use the Adobe Professional version sign files Successfully, only by put the API file under the folder named Adobe plug-in, but not work well in Adobe Reader. According to the documentation, such as http://www.adobe.com/cn/devnet/reader/ikla.html and http://www.adobe..com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/plugin_apps_developer_guide .pdf, in Adobe Acrobat Reader, a self-developed plug-in we have developed need to be signed or obtain the relevant certification by Adobe before use.
      If we propose certification and licensing applications to Adobe to ask the possibility of obtaining permission for our plug-in, what are the specific processes and requirements we need to know? Any useful information, I would be grateful. (Including the information we need to provide, as well as the cost and the certification time, etc.)
