Adobe XI not working with Windows 8

My Adobe Reader XI was working fine with my Windows 8, but now, when I try to open up any file, either from email or currently on the computer, the program will open, pause and shut down.  I tried going to the website for help, but none of the 'fixes' seem to be working and I keep getting error messages.  I had to manually uninstall and then reinstall the program from Adobe.com, as Adobe's uninstaller didn't work.  I did accept the terms from Eule.exe, as stated in one of the forum questions. 

OK. 
When I run the program compatability troubleshooter, I get an error message that states incompatable program.  I have tried switching from Windows 7 to Windows XP (SP 3) and the Reader still exhibits the same behavior, in either system.
protected11.zip and Acrofix.zip - this is what states that it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
To uninstall the program, I went to my control panel and did it that way.  Then I went to Adobe's website to download the lates version

  • My adobe is not working with Windows 7 it says "program not working"

    My adobe does not worked with I have tried 9 & 10 both versions. It does not seem to work with Windows 7.

    Adobe Reader X works very well on Windows 7.
    Please give us the exact error message you're getting; "program not working" is not a message that Windows or Adobe Reader would issue.

  • Adobe XI not working with windows 7.

    Since installing Adobe XI (11.0.03) when I open an exiting or new pdf on my laptop I get the message:  Adobe Reader A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. 
    I uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  I followed the instructions on the Adobe web site.  Nothing is working and I need to be able to do my work.  How can I get Adobe X so I can install that older version.  Can't find it on the Adobe website.  HELP!!

    OK point taken.
    But let's not go into semantics here.
    Fact was I had a perfectly working Adobe Reader X on my PC with windows 7
    After an automatic upgrade to Adobe Reader XI , I am no longer able to open any pdf.
    And after uninstalling XI and reinstalling X, the problem remains...
    So somewhere along the line a piece of software has been installed, that remains even after uninstalling, and affects the previous Reader version when reinstalled.
    I am no computer expert, I am an end user.
    My thought is : program developers at Adobe probably know in which directories software is installed when you download an upgrade.
    Like MWNZ suggested : when you change a name in a directory which can be the cause of the bug, the bug might be neutralised.
    I thought it was a valuable suggestion, I tried it, but unfortunately without result.
    But at least he gave a suggestion to a solution
    Given the fact that the bug remains, even after uninstalling XI and reinstalling X ( which perfectly worked before !) , people more knowledgeable then me on the field of software, might have ideas or suggestions where to look for the bug.
    That's my point
    But the fact still remains : windows 7 and adobe reader XI is not a happy marriage.
    I'm really not interested in pointing fingers here, I just would be most happy with any solution that allows me to open pdf's again.

  • Adobe Flash not working with Windows 8

    I recently updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8. When I open up the app for Internet Explorer in Windows 8, it tells me that I have Adobe Flash Player installed, but if I try to see a video on YouTube, it tells me that I have to install Adobe Flash Player!!! If I go to Amazon Cloud Player, it tells me that I have to install Adobe Flash Player to upload any files to my cloud. All this while still using the app for Internet Explorer in Windows 8. (As I mentioned, I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed version 11. something - I can't reember all the numbers that follow.  I can't clear my cache or do any of the other things Adobe suggests, as none of the browsers now work in the Desktop - the only Browsers working are the IE and Google apps, and none of these two allow me to clear cache etc.) Any suggestions.? My computer I just bought 1 year ago and all worked well before upgrading to Windows 8. It is all so frustrating!!!!
    Thanks to anyone who can help me. 

    Windows 8 comes with Flash Player preinstalled in Internet Explorer 10.  Use Windows Update to update Flash Player to the latest version.
    I do not have Windows 8 (and have no plans to ever have it), so I do not know any details..  Something I read around here is that you need to open IE from the desktop in order to have Flash working.

  • Adobe Reader not working with Windows 8

    I have windows 8 with Outlook.  I installed Adobe Reader 11 and tried to open two different files both of which I can open with my Iphone.  I received a message saying that the files were corrupted or invalid.  I tried downloading Adobe Reader 8 for Touch and could not open the files with it either.  Any recommendations?

    Assuming that these are Outlook email attachments, can you try to download one to the local disk, then open it from there with Adobe Reader?

    Hi,
    You can download the latest official Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You may also have to install [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html Java] (choose either Windows x86 Offline or Windows x86 Online), and [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash] (choose the Firefox version and also deselect extras).
    For the Firefox metro version, please see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Windows_8_Integration#Elm_Nightly_Builds this]. You can install and use it along with the other version.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

  • HP B500 Wireless Bluethooth Adapter for HP Printer Not Working With Windows 8.1

    I have been using the HP BT500 bluetooth Wireless adapter to print wirelessly to my HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer.  I have been using Windows Vista, but recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I learned after the upgrade that the HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter is not compatable with Windows 8.1.  I have attempted to find a driver upgrade for the B500, but there does not appear to be one available.  I have also searched the HP site and other sites in an attempt to locate an alter wireless blotth adapter to replace the B500, but have again been unable to locate one. 
    Is there a wireless bluetooth apter that will allow me to print wirelessly to my HP Office Pro 8500 from my laptop?

    Hi @Raider83,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter for your HP Officejet 8500 is not working with Windows 8.1. I am sorry to hear this but happy to look into this for you!
    I am not sure if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System. But sometimes with Windows 8.1 you can use compatibility mode to install an older version of the driver. Which might help the situation. Here is a link to some other Windows drivers, HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter Drivers.
    Once you got a driver downloaded, follow this guide, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows, on how to install it using compatibility mode.  It is not guaranteed to work, but it is worth a try!
    If you still need me to look for other bluetooth adapters, please respond with your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As there are multiple HP Officejet 8500 printers.
    Thank you for posting, and have a nice day!

    hi erabbath,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.

  • Microsoft Mail not working with Windows 7 & MS-Office 2010

    Dear All
    I have a client who is using Microsoft Mail for their internal mailing. They have been using MSoffice ( Outlook) for this purpose for last so many years.
    We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
    When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
    When we tried with different versions, we found that if you install Office 2007 it works. If you try Office 2007 and then Office 2010 and remove Office 2007, it still work. But Then it is treated as 2 installations of Msoffice on the same computer.
    I need to know whether this is right from Licensing perspective.  We 'll be using single copy of office but it may seems as we have installed Office 2007 & office 2010 on same computer.

    We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
    When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
    Windows 7 is a supported operation system for Office 2010. At what exactly point will you get the specific error?
    Is that a Click-To-Run version of Office 2010? By default, for MSI-based version of Office, when you upgrade existing Office 2007 to Office 2010, the earlier version of Office will be removed:

    For licensing advice, as <Don> suggested above, you should contact your local Microsoft customer support or reseller.
