Adobe X hangs - have to reboot PC

We have several users using varying types of laptops and desktops and a mixture of version 10.1.0.534 and 10.1.1.33. The problem that appears to be consistent across those experiencing this acrord32.exe hanging and cannot be killed via task manager.
I've been looking at stopping enable protected mode at start up and also disabling the option for automatic updates but have seen other discussions that refer to similar issues having something to do with Visual C++ runtime library. The issue is erratic, after a re-install the software can function for a while and then fail again. Even after installing this manually and not via group policy the issue re-occurs. Does anyone have any experience of this and any suggestions to fix?

Hi Pablo 31,
Would it be possible for you to provide me with the crash log for exception that you are receiving. You can do the same by following the below steps:
    1. Install WinDbg from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
    2. Launch WinDbg via the shortcut
    3. Click File->Open Executable
    4. Select AcroRd32.exe from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and hit "OK"
    5. Remember to press "g" and hit enter when you encounter the first breakpoint and then you will see a text "Debuggeee is running" and Reader will be launched
    6. Open whatever file is it that produces the crash in Reader.
    7. When you have successfully reproduced the sceanrio causing the crash/freezing of Adobe Reader X, enter the below command in the WinDbg terminal
    .dump /ma c:\temp.dmp (Hit enter)
    8. This will produce the crash dump at C:\ by the name of temp.dmp
Could you please upload the dump (compress the dump using WinZip or likewise) at some site and provide the link for the same. I will have a look at the same.
Thanks
Ankit

  • TB hangs and I cant kill it with process explorer or task manager. Have to reboot. Problem is intermittent.

    TBird V31.2.0: Windows 7 home premium with service pack 1: hp pavilion dv7 laptop.
    Intermittently, TB hangs and I can't kill it with normal close, or process explorer, or task manager. I have to reboot to get a clean copy of TBird to view my mail.
    Problem is chronic (about a 2 to 4 months). I updated TB several weeks ago but no joy.
    The green bar (lower right) that indicates download progress is at max extent and stays their when the problem exists.
    Error msg. appearing with attempt to kill TB says roughly - the instance of TB in not functioning. Kill it or reboot. Its a real pain to reboot. If someone could give me a clue to at least kill the hung instance of TB that would be a great help. I've been using TB for years on at least two computers and never ran into this before.
    Thanking you in advance for any help offered.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Resetting the photoshop preferences might cure the problem.
    Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys down just after starting the launch of photoshop 7
    (Shift-Command-Option on a mac)
    Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
    Press Yes

  • Why do I have to reboot my computer in order to install the most recent version of adobe reader??

    Why do I have to reboot my computer in order to install the most recent version of adobe reader??
    After installing the most recent version of adobe reader, a prompt popped up, asking me to reboot my computer to complete installation. Why is it asking me to do this? Is it safe? And (if so,) how should I go about doing this??

    I don't know why - I never had to restart my computer after installing any Adobe updates.

  • FF Hangs immediately on some websites but within a short time hangs on any and all and have to reboot to close it.

    Just reformatted and reinstalled XP. Installed and updated AVG free first thing then downloaded and installed FF 5.0.1. Immediately after starting FF, it hangs. I close it and try to open again and get "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Closing it in TM does not work. Have to reboot. Tried multiple different sites and even tried safe mode. Sites that initially come up hang very quickly or if i click on something. Have already disabled virus protection but no change. have run virus and malware scans but nothing. Oh...even tried IE and the same thing happens.

    It seems to be accessible, yes. It's listed as
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9\CLSID. I can give
    you the data string if you like. I've really never edited my system
    registry so I'm not sure what I'm doing.

    Is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer or a Mac computer?
    What is the brand/model/settings of the camera recording your video?
    Windows 7 64 bit PC 
    Footage taken from DVD through Adobe Premiere Elements
    Are you sure about the Frame Width and Frame Height that you gave 720 x 484? Did you mean 720 x 480?
    Yes, my err.  720X480
    For the Frame Rate, was it really 29.97 frames per second and you rounded it off to 29 frames per second? Or,
    is the frame rate really 29 frames per second?
    If the properties that you just posted are representative of your source file, what project preset did you or the
    project set for the project preset? If you are not sure, please tell us the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
    and Pixel Aspect Ratio under Edit Menu/Project Settings/General.
    Still having problems - haven't been able to edit project. 
    Thank you for your help.

  • Adobe Installer Hangs Up on MacBook Pro running OSx 10.7.5

    I can get the Audition CS6 disk image onto my mac via Download assistant or directly. But when I try to install the Adobe Installer hangs up during "Initializing Installer" and forces me to do a hard reboot.
    The same procedure works just fine on my mac running OSx 10.6.8
    Any remedies?

    OK. I didn't find anything useful in the Troubleshoot section. Here's the PDApp.log in it's entirety for the latest installation attempt:

  • Resizing Text Fields Causes Adobe to Hang

    Good Afternoon All-
      I have a PDF of our company floor plan. I added text fields over each office with the person's name and telephone number. There are over 100 text fields. I created this form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8. I have since upgrade to 10 Pro. When I open the form and try to resize one of the text fields, Adobe will hang for on average, 1 minute or two and then come back to life. It only seems to happen when I resize or try to move a text field from this PDF. I tried adding text fields into other PDF's and they resize/move fine without Adobe hanging. Does anyone know what the issue might be? I even tried opening it up on another PC that has Acrobat Pro 11. I also tried using the PDF Optimizer and making it compatible with Acrobat 10 and still no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AdobeDonutGeek,
    Based on your description, this would be one where it might be better to contact our technical support for assistance.
    Thanks,
    -Dave

    I have been using pse 5.0.2 since July 2007 on xp.  When I double click the icon PSE starts to initialize and hangs when it gets to "Reading Preferences".  I can use other applications, but once I click on them the screen gets messed up and no matter what I have to reboot.  I tried putting in the installation Cd and get the following errors in this order
    1. Invalid unicode file .\AutoPlay\main.ini
    2. Error MAIN_FILE_VERSION
    3. Error PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT
    4. Error PRODUCT_REGISTRY_KEY
    I also tried installing the CD on another machine which does not have photoshop elements and I get the same 4 errors.
    I did go through the PSE forum, saw some errors with the organizer freezing, but I can't even open elements at all.  I do not have google chrome installed. I have not installed anything new on this computer in a year, and do not have any firewalls, or spyware loaded.
