After installing, Digital Editions won't run. (has encountered a problem)

Any advice as to whats going on here? Win XP
Thanks

I had a similar problem with an older computer a couple of years ago.  It was solved by installing ADE 1.72.
It is still available here:

Save the setup.exe to your hard drive then run it.
Good luck

  • Adobe Digial Edition 3.0 "has encountered a problem needs to close" on my dictionary icon. Restore?

    Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 stated "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Sadly, it has been two weeks ago since I have been able to access my dictionary icon after receiving this message from Adobe. Hence, When? How? will my access be restored? Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    Ta, Amanda!
    When you get back to the PC, if the QuickTime problem is a BEX and the QuickTime control panel error message is:
    An exception occured while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuckTime"
    ... (the key here is that the message shows that the QuickTime.cpl is down in the \system32\ folder), then try proceeding as per my instructions to zach in the following post:

  • Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I get this message when trying to open  muse. It happened after an upgrade.
    "Adobe Muse.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Is there anything I can do?

    Please send me ([email protected]) the MuseLog.txt file from your Documents folder.
    Then please delete the "MBLStore" and "OOBE" folders found in
    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    and delete the "AdobeMuse" folder found in
    on Mac: <yourusername>/Library/Preferences
    on Windows XP: <youruser>\Local Settings\
    on Windows 7: <youruser>\AppData\Roaming
    Then launch Muse. It will go through the first launch experience of asking for UI language, AdobeID, etc.
    Please let me know whether or not that works. Thanks.

  • When trying to run after install: iTunes has encountered a problem and...

    I just got my new Nano yesterday. I downloaded and installed the latest version fine, but when I try to run the app I get the the patented Windows error:
    ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Send - Don't send
    So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same thing.
    Then I tried to install two earlier versions of 6. But I get the same exact error.
    Also, when I try to open Quicktime. Nothing happens. All I get is the hour glass for about 2 seconds. But quicktime does not open.

    hmmmm. i'm no great expert on MusicMatch installation troubleshooting. but we might be able to stop MusicMatch launching for you when a CD is inserted.
    it sounds like there is a Windows AutoPlay setting on the CD drive, so that MusicMatch is set to launch every time you insert a Music CD. so let's try changing that setting.
    in "My Computer", right-click on the CD drive and select "properties". click on the "AutoPlay" tab. in the pulldown menu, select "Music CD".
    do you have MusicMatch set to launch? if so, change the action to something else (or select "prompt me each time ..." instead), and click OK.
    does MusicMatch still launch when you insert a CD after doing that?

  • Won't properly install digital edition 2 or 3

    After downloading digital edition and going through the steps it says completed and the only option is to click "close". When i press close it says "delete file..." but closes too fast for me to see the rest after delete file. Then, when I try to down an e-book and open it, it tries to repair the installation and goes through the same process over again. I don't know what to do as it did this with both the second and third editions. I've tried to completely uninstall and reinstall but I don't know how to get it to stop deleting whatever file it is deleting, as it is clearly important. I have windows 7 and I'm using google chrome as my browser. What kind of settings could be deleting a file?

  • Adobe Digital editions won't open

    I''ve installed ADE but it won't open and I can't open an acsm file with it.  In either case I immediately get the
    "Adobe Digital Editions and encountered a problem and must close".  I've searched several message boards and see many complaints about the intaller not opening or the installer not working properly but that is NOT the problem I'm having.  The program itself will not open after being succesfully installed.

    Your English is excellent.
    I'm reminded of an international conference my brother-in-law went to.
    Someone asked a question in bad English.
    A pompous English person complained and said 'The language of this conference is English'
    A Dane replied, 'No, the official language of this conference is broken English'.
    ~~~
    By the 'old black one' I guess you mean ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) v1.7.2.
    When ADE2.0 doesn't work, that is the one I usually suggest as it is much more reliable, but sounds as if you have tried it.
    Just in case, link below.
    ~~~
    I suggest you
    > Uninstall all copies of ADE.
    > If you don't have safe copies of your books, make a backup of any books first.
    > Check for any folder left behind and delete it. eg
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\Adobe Digital Editions 2.0
    C:\Users\<your Windows username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Digital Editions
    C:\Users\<your Windows username>\Documents\My Digital Editions
    It may not be practicable to keep your old library structure, I don't know how important that is too you.
    Similarly any notes and annotations.
    > Try again ...
    Reinstall ADE.  (I'd use 1.7.2 as more reliable, but 2.0 if there any new features you really need)
    Run ADE and remove any memory it may have of authorizations (ctrl-shift-D and respond to prompts)
    It often half remembers and confuses things.
    Restart ADE
    Authorize ADE with your Adobe ID.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Can't install Digital Editions

    Downloaded Digital Editions 2.0 and clicked Run, I agreed to EULA, accecpted the default install option, it appeared to install OK and Digital Editions started but did not ask me to activate.  I clicked on Help and a message appeared "Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  I have tried uninstalling and re downloading with the same problem.  Computer is an AMD 2800+, Win XP Home SP3.  Any Suggestions?

  • Epson r2400 Driver Loses Functionality after Installing Digital Camera Raw

    I have four Macs at home and two printers. After installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 from software update on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, the Epson r2400 printer driver no longer works. I can barely get a print out of Aperture and/or Photoshop, however, Pages will output to the r2400 no problem. When I try to print with the other Mac Pro that has not been updated, I can print without issue. I can print from both machines to my kyocera mita printer within aperture and photoshop.
    All of these computers are running 10.5.2. The only difference being the most recent Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 is installed on the two machines that no longer work with my Epson r2400.
    I have uninstalled the print drivers and reinstalled. Changed the connection to the computers and tested everything that has worked in the past. I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting, but this is beyond my grasp.
    I need to print right away from all these computers, so does anyone know how to "roll back" an update? I am not running Time Machine, but that may change very, very soon. Please help...

    I'm working off a 750 GB hard drive, not so simple to clone even via firewire. I guess I made a serious mistake by trusting the apple update process...I see they have a new update today. I may try that to see if fixes the problem before I buckle to the original system disk installation process. If the install is already burned, it couldn't hurt to throw some gasoline on it, right?

  • Having challenges installing Digital Editions 2.0 and having the program initialize correctly.

    I need to install Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) 2.0 so I can download books for my daughter's Nook from our local library. 
    I have tried installing ADE 2.0 way too many times to absolutely no avail.  After downloading the ADE 2.0 install program, I have tried installing with Norton virus and firewall software turned off, turned on, restarting my computer after an ADE 2.0 install attempts with virus protection off and on, and everytime I have tried to do anything with the supposedly installed ADE 2.0, it crashes and Microsoft opens its error mesaging window because ADE 2.0 has encountered a problem. 
    On a couple times I have also received this error message:
    Digital Editions.exe - Application Error Instructions at "0x8514c483" referenced memory at "0x8514c483".  The memory could not be "read".  Click "ok" to terminate the program.
    I have also re-downloaded the install program numerous times under different anti virus software operating scenarios (software enabled/disabled, etc), and everytime after the installation is complete, the program crashes.  Each time an install attempt failed, I uninstalled the program and went through a full ADE 2.0 install.  Sometimes still using the same install program and also after re-downloading the ADE 2.0 install program.  Everything I have tried has failed.
    I am also using an older Windows XP PC, but despite being a relatively older computer, this install and initialization challenge should not be occurring. 
    Short of finding a copy of the ADE 1.7 version and seeing if that will work (was suggested by user sjgt when replying to a post by su-anster on 26 Dec at 0358), does anyone have any suggestions?  This should not be such a challenge.  Thx

    Thanks for our reply.  I already have installed Overdrive Media Console
    without any challenge.  What I have ended up doing as a quick fix is I
    located and downloaded the ADE 1.7 version and after doing so, everything is
    working fine.  Obviously I am not using Adobe's latest and greatest ADE 2.0
    version with whatever associated bells and whistles, but ADE 1.7 is doing
    what I need to do to and that is allow me to download Adobe Epub files from
    our local library and to create an interface to my daughter's Nook.  If
    using the 3M Cloud app provides some greater functionality I might try that
    as well, but my problem is not connectivity with my daughter's Nook.  It is
    ADE 2.0 not installing and initializing on my computer.  I never got to the
    point of trying to download files because ADE 2.0 was constantly crashing
    when I opened the supposedly, correctly installed program.

  • Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo.

    Java JDK 7 u17 won't install and Eclipse won't run past boot logo. Eclipse Classic used to work fine for awhile. I haven't used it for a month or two and tried to boot it, Eclipse won't run past boot logo. It looks like JDK is not even there anymore. JDK won't install successfully. I have Mac OS X 10.8.3.
    I tried removing Java, re-download JDK multiple times.. same results.

    Paul Adare is correct in saying that you cannot "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit. You can, however, backup your files and reload them onto your PC.
    Given that you are able to boot Windows 7 after the failure to install Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is apparent that you are not formatting the drive during your clean installation. There are a number of potential issues an existing configuration can
    cause, such as preventing Windows Setup from registering boot files, modifying partitions, or moving an existing installation and data to the windows.old folder. I would recommend removing the partitions from your drive (note: this will erase any data remaining
    on the hard disk) during installation to ensure that Windows Setup has a fresh hard drive to install to. If you continue to experience errors, two other factors to take into consideration are:
    Does your system use a storage controller that requires loading a driver during Windows Setup?
    Is the hardware malfunctioning? Do the hard disk and memory pass testing software like Windows Memory Diagnostic or chkdsk?

    I have Windows 8.
