Adobe reader XI freezes upon start up and wont work

Hi
I am running Windows 7 home premium with 64bit system and Kaperskys antivirus.  Everytime I open adobe XI it freezes up and displays the thinking icon both on the mouse hover and right screen of the adobe reader.  I tried installing the older adobe X as a couple discussion threads advised.  The older adobe X works a couple times then does the same thing.  I need the reader to read and sign docs.  Does anyone know how to make it work on my comp???  Thank you!!!

Try these things for Reader XI...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • I just installed adobe reader to convert files to Word and  it worked. But now I scanned my resume in the same file and I cannot convert it to Word

    I'm sorry I forget to tell you that I downloaded  a file from Google and it worked when I converted it to word but it won't do it when I scanned my resume

    Hi Micheled268353269,
    Are you using export pdf services?
    Do you get any error message while converting files?

  • Freezing upon start up and odd "chirping" noise from the base of my Macbook Pro summer 2011.

    Sometimes when I start up my macbook pro it freezes and I get the "thinking" icon in place of my mouse.  The only way to resolve this is to force shut down my computer.  Also, when I put pressure on the bottom of my computer to lift it up I get this odd chirping noise.

    That could be the stepping motor in the hard drive making noise.  Sometimes the noise means nothing, other times it could mean a problem with the hard drive and it could fail soon.  Could be a fan out of allignment.  If you can backup your data, do so.  If you an get to an Apple genius bar, take it in and have the techs run some tests to find out what the noise is.

  • Adobe Premiere keeps crashing upon start up and in the middle of edits.

    I have been through some technical assistance with your team. But it seems I've found more on the forums in relation
    to my computer and what I need to make sure is up to date and yadda yadda.
    I open my project and it will crash consistently, annoyingly. It seems to happen with an AVI file.
    Here's the video specs
    Here's my hardware.
    I'm up to date on almost everything else. Any tips for me to keep this app running and actually functional?
    Thanks,

    I have read through quite a bit of all of this info. I don't necessarily want to buy anything extra unless I absolutely have to.
    It's a strange camera that's for sure, Emerson has no website or support online. I will see if I can find a disc or possibly
    just plug the camera into this computer and see if it gives me the CODEC. What about GSPOT?
    Is this specifically what's crashing my Premiere? I have yet to try anything without that AVI/MJPEG file yet. It seems that
    it handles the 264 just fine, it's the silly MJPEG that's kicking my butt. I read that it may have been corrupted
    somewhere along the way. If that's true do I need to just scrap the file?

  • My browsers keep freezing up until I have to forcequit. Firefox freezes at start-up and safari works for a bit but usually freezes when opening tabs. When I try to submit a crash report in either case, it always tells me "submission failed".

    This started yesterday night. I tried to restore firefox to yesterday morning's time machine version, but no dice. No idea what's causing it, I haven't installed anything.
    The refusing to submit my crash reports really confuses. I don't know if it's applicable to everything or just browsers - browsers are the only thing that have crashed.
    Thanks for the help!

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • After installing Adobe Reader 8.1.2 system restarts and freezes

    After installing Adobe Reader 8.1.2 system restarts and freezes (hangs, locks up)
    I have Windows XP SP2, plenty of spare disk space and Adobe Reader 8.1.1.
    The 8.1.2 Reader appeared to install OK and asked for the system to be restarted. When I accepted this it shut down and rebooted as expected,
    but just before it was fully restarted it froze and I could do nothing.
    I pressed the power switch and tried again but the same thing happened again.
    To get back to a usable system I had to boot in safe mode and go back to a restore point.
    I don't know if this is relevent but it stopped just before Nortom firewall usually starts.
    I am keen to install the new version because of the security fixes.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Adobe reader crashes when opening, both local and from Firefox

    Running Windows XP, Firefox 3.6.    Adobe 9.3 crashes Firefox when I attempt to view a downloaded pdf.  When I start adobe reader from Windows "Start" it begins to start with Adobe ID screen, then stops with no other effect or error message.
    Reader 9.3 worked successfully for months.  Problem started after computer maintenance and cleaning up of excess files and services running in the background.  I have not experienced problems with any other programs.
    When the problem arose I uninstalled with Windows Add/Remove Program.  Rebooted then reinstalled 9.3.  Same problem.
    I used Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to clean up adobe.  Notice that many files and folders still exist in /Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0 , so I renamed folder to "OLD Reader 9.0"
    Reinstalled 9.3 ....still did not work.  Uninstalled, rebooted, then installed Reader 8.2.  Still not working.
    Somewhere in the process I also uninstalled Adobe Air and Acrobat.com.
    What would cause Adobe Reader to not fully start, and to crash Firefox when it does try to start as a plug-in?  How can I manually uninstall ALL of Adobe Reader?
    Thanks for any input,
    Mark

  • Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

    I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

    There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.

    i cannot install adobe reader. I get so far and get the message "Error 1324. All folders or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again" can you help?

    We need to know if any registry settings are causing this error.  Please follow these instructions:
    from Windows Start | Search: type regedit and hit Enter; you will see a window like this
    now click on the little arrow ▹ left from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Next click the arrow ▹ beside Software, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then Explorer, then click on User Shell Folders
    all entries on the right side should start with %USERPROFILE%
    If you have anything different, this may be the cause for the install failure.
    Now you need to repeat the same thing for another key:
    ▹ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ▹ Software ▹ Microsoft ▹ Windows ▹ CurrentVersion ▹ Explorer ▹ User Shell Folders
    Here all entries should start with %PUBLIC% or %ProgramData%.  If you have anything different, this may also be the cause for the install failure.

  • How can I stop  Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

    I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
    I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Edit>Preferences
    Under Page Display:
    Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
    Also, under Search:
    Click "Purge Cache Contents"

    I would like to have your kind support..Bootcamp windows7 freezing on start up and taking around 40 minutes to load. Mac mountain lion also taking around 5 minutes to load on start up.

    My first step would be to get rid of "Norton protection". Boot from your OS 10.6 disc, navigate through your hard drivve and trash anything that is Norton. Empty the trash.
    Next, run Disk Utility and ask it to repair the hard drive.

  • MacBook Pro freezes during start up and safe boot

    Stinkster,
    does your MacBook Pro have a removable battery? If so, then it originally came with grey installation DVDs. If it doesn’t have a removable battery, look on the bottom of your MacBook Pro for its serial number (it’s etched there in tiny print). If its serial number has eleven characters, write down the last three of them; if it has twelve, write down the last four. Include the three or four characters in your reply; they can determine which model MacBook Pro you have, and the model will determine whether it originally came with grey installation DVDs or not.
    If your MacBook Pro did originally come with grey installation DVDs, then you’re going to need to find them (or buy a replacement pair from Apple or iFixit) to reïnstall Mac OS X on your current hard drive, or to install it on a replacement hard drive.
