Adobe reader x won't open in xp

adobe reader x won't open in xp.. I have uninstalled and reloaded it still will not work

I did the following and it fixed the problem...
Let us assign permissions to the C drive(or the drive where you have installed the OS) and then check.
To apply permissions to a file or folder for a user:
a. Right-click on the C drive and then click Properties.
c. Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
d. Do one of the following:
i. To set permissions for a user that is not listed under Group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.
ii. To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user, click the name of the group or user, select the permissions, and then click OK.

Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
HELP!
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
Why did it suddenly stop working?
What can I do to fix it ASAP?
Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari" - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

Adobe Reader X won't open pdfs in IE8

I've just updated my installation of Adobe Reader X to the latest version, 10.01. Now it won't open web hosted pdfs in Internet Explorer (the previous version did). When I try and open a pdf from a web host I'm told that the file can't be open with the default program (and suggests that the file might be corrupt); I'm only given the option to save the file. Once saved locally on my harddrive Reader X opens the file without complaint.
Any ideas how to solve this? I'm running Internet Explorer 64bit under Windows 7 Home Pro. 64bit and Internet Explorer 8. An interesting note is that the pdfs do open correctly in IE8 32bit.

I have exactly the same problem. Running win 7 64 and IE8 64. Everything was working perfect in version 9. I have tried to repair and looking for solutions too.

Adobe Reader 9 Won't open at all

Randomly my adobe reader stopped working. It won't open PDF's from google chrome or IE. I've tried restarting my computer, installing Reader X, and tried reinstalling reader 9...nothing has worked. Also, adobe reader won't even open

How are you doing the rename?
The letters between backslashes are folders names. The list of folder names describe a "path" to a folder or file (i.e. folder1\folder2\folder3).
%appdata% is a shortcut that expands to something like johnvic36\AppData\Roaming on your specific computer depending on what your user account is named.
The folder names that need to be renamed are:
com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0
and
Adobe Muse CC
"com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0" is in %appdata%. It should be renamed from "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0" to "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0_old".
The specific Adobe Muse CC folder that needs to be renamed is in %appdata%\Adobe. It should be renamed from "Adobe Muse CC" to "Adobe Muse CC_old".

Adobe Reader XI won't open more than one PDF

The latest Adobe Reader (11.0.02) won't open more than one PDF at a time. Seems to require continual re-install for each open. And each time I install, it says the application is already present on my machine, yet I cannot find it anywhere. Any suggestions out there?
Elaine

Thanks for getting back to me, Pat. I need to go back to wherever I was and
remove the question. After I posted my question, I decided to delete all of
the Adobe applications on my computer and start overit worked.
I appreciate your concern,
Elaine Davis

Help! Adobe Reader 9 won't open a PDF in a browser window!

I just "upgraded" to Adobe Reader 9 today, on my Windows XP computer.
I run Firefox 3.0.8 as my web browser.
Since installing AR 9, I cannot open PDFs inside my browser. When I try, I get the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDFs in a Web Browser. Please exit Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have made sure my Application settings in Firefox are correct, associating PDFs with AR9.
I made sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked in AR9.
I need to be able to open PDFs in my browser for work. How do I fix this error?
Thank you,
Ben

No Solution here either, but I'm experiencing similar problems. When opening pdf's my system just hangs and I'm having to reboot. This is not helping me with my business at all.
I suppose it's just part and parcel of upgrading these days. Good luck with trying to down grade. I've just tried and there's more frustration than success. Oh well, I do have a 4 day weekend to get it going again.
Best of luck to you,
John

Adobe Reader 9 won't open some files -- jp2klib.dll

I've had this problem for some time, and I think I've at least narrowed it down a bit. The problem is that some (but not all) PDF files cannot be opened in Adobe Reader 9.x on some computers, though they open fine on others. When you click on a problem file, or try to open it from within AR 9, the file may begin to display, but very quickly you get Windows' message "Adobe Reader 9.2 has encountered a problem and needs to close." AR then crashes; or rather, Windows shuts it down. The crash report gives the following basic information:
AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: jp2klib.dll
ModVer: 2.0.0.4526 Offset: 00032c0d
I tried copying a different version of jp2klib.dll that was on my computer, but that did not help.
This problem only occurs on my desktop, not on the laptop, so it seems to be due to some interaction between jp2klib.dll and a specific driver or piece of hardware.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

There isn't any video acceleration. This is a pretty old computer. I've got a Samsung 912N flat-screen monitor, an HP DeskJet 6940 printer, an Epson Perfection 3170 scanner, an RCA cable modem, and a U.S. Robotics MAXg wireless router attached to it, as well as an ancient Compaq mouse and a Fellowes Glidepoint touchpad.

Adobe Reader X won't open after installing

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X and when I try to open it or open a pdf I get the error message "AcroRd32.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point WNetEnumCachedPasswords could not be located in the dynamic link library MPR.dll." I'm using Window XP service pack 3. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Reader X and rebooting my computer but I always get the same error message and nothing else. Does anyone have an idea what my problem is? I couldn't seem to find how to download Reader X without going through the Download manager. Thanks.
Bob

Thank you. That fixed the problem. My old mapi32.dll file was 628kb and dated 1/31/1996. After renaming it and running fixmapi.exe I had a new mapi32.dll file that was only 110kb and dated 8/23/2001. And Reader started right up after that. I never would have figured that out on my own.

Adobe Reader XI won't open PDF Files

I had Adobe Reader 9 and when I tried to open a PDF file or just the program it would open for a few secopnds and then the window closes. The program doesn't stay open. I installed Adobe Reader XI but got the same results. The program window opens for a few seconds and then closes before the PDF file is open. What should I do to?

Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula)
Double click it
Accept the license agreement
Run Adobe Reader.

Adobe reader touch won't open Adobe reader X Pdf. HELP PLEASE

Adobe reader 11 won't open

Hi,
I have just downloaded and installed adobe reader 11. As far as i know i have the operating requirements to function. I am using a macbook air OS
Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
...Just to explain this a little further, i need to use chrome to open a particular type of PDF, however the reader does not appear in the list when i access chrome://plugins. I need the adobe reader to be listed here to enable it.
More to the point, the icon for the adpbe reader sits comfortably on the dock, when i click it, it does not action anything
Please help!

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode (Edit | Preferences | Security (Advanced)).
If not, you may need to change the setting in the registry; do you know how to use regedit?
The value that needs to be changed is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\privileged\bProtectedMode from 1 to 0.
Be sure you make a registry backup or System Restore Point before editing the registry. If you are unsure how to proceed, I can make a little procedure for you to change that value.

Adobe Reader X won't open Secured docs

I have Windows Vista. I just upgraded to X and I can open normal adobe docs. I get the Not Responding in parenthesis whenever I try to open a secured adobe doc. HELP!

I registered just to let you know that you're not alone...
However, by chance, I had a "non-responding" adobe X window open while I was doing the work of registering and by the time I was done the document had actually opened. I opened it a second and third time and noted that it took roughly two minutes to open.
Clearly, that is horrid program responsiveness and should be addressed but in the event you MUST get to your document... give it a few minutes to open.
Good luck.

Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago. Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe. Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe. Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
