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

  • After installing Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 on my Windows 7 x64 operating system it will not print pdf documents

    After installing Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 on my Windows 7 x64 operating system, I attempted to print and existing pdf document to my Brothers MFC-J4510DW printer I received error message indicating that no pages where selected (I selected print all pages).

    Hi satsugyo1,
    For printing both sides, you might also need to enable 'printing on both sides' option in Reader print dialog box.
    Please do the same and then print your PDF.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Regards,

  • Printing problem after installing Adobe Reader XI.

    After installing Adobe Reader XI. I can not just print a document from email attachment without saving it to a "save the file as". Where before was able to just print the document. There is no reason I need to save these documents being printed. How do I get back to an older version that allowed me to do this?

    Thanks for your response. I found the problem 1/2hr after posting my question. It had to do with the setting after hitting the print que. After installing the Adobe Reader XI the setting for destination in the print window change to save as PDF. Before it was set to my default printer. I never knew that there was other places for these documents could go. Never had to use them either.
    Again thanks for responding.

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

    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.

  • Trouble with opening pdf after installing Adobe Reader

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader. I have already downloaded and installed it. I have completed all the steps. However, when I try to open a pdf, it says that I need to launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License agreement then quit and relaunch the browser. When the installation completed, it did not give me the option to do it. How do I fix this? 

    You need to do what it says. If you are on Windows (pre-8.0) go to Start>All programs, find Reader and launch it. If on a Mac, go to Applications, find Reader and launch it.

  • Trouble Viewing 3D PDF with Windows XP  after installing Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    I have updated my Adobe Reader X last week ( April 2012 ) and since then I am having trouble viewing 3D PDF on my web browser, both IE 8 and Firefox. I am using Windows XP.
    The warning message I got are shown as follow:
    "Some features have been disabled to avoid potential security risks. Only enable these features if you trust this host: (and the hosting website of the 3D PDF goes here)"
    Adobe Reader X will allow me to view the 3D model when I select "Trust this host one time only", but it does nothing if I choose to "Trust this host always".
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Peter H.

    Hi Ankit,
    Here is an example: http://www.catalogds.com/db/service?domain=newport&command=showProduct&category=root&produ ct=sl51bm
    Just click on the "View 3D Model" button and it will bring up another window/tab with a 3D PDF.
    I will try changing the setting in the Trust Manager panel when my Windows XP computer is available later today.
    Thank you.

  • Slow Startup after installing Adobe Reader X and 9.4

    Okay, I've been using Reader 9 since before i can remember, without any problems!  Now, after I install Reader X or 9.4, my computer will take about 5 minutes to startup.  After startup I have no problems with programs or performance.  What's wrong?  Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get Adobe Reader 9?

    btw to get other versions http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
