Can't remove adobe reader x--plugin for container problem message?

Adobe reader x installed but doesn't function. Tried to uninstall and this message appears.

Firefox has a side program called plugin-container.exe. Maybe the error indicates that plugin-container.exe is still running?? If exiting Firefox does not let you uninstall Adobe Reader X, you might try restarting Windows and going straight to the uninstall without restarting Firefox.

    How can I make Adobe Reader 9 open for incoming PDFs instead of Acrobat 5.0?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.

  • I can not remove Adobe reader form my computer. In my Add or Remove Programs file it says....

    that I can not remove the program. My computer got stuck on it and I had to do the end program option because it would not close out. I know that Adobe has been on my computer ever since I can remember. I honestly don't know what it is (Adobe Reader) and am very frustrated because I don't know weather getting rid of it (Adobe Reader) will cause problems on this computer or not. Please help cause I don't know what to do....I need it to opperate as it did before and with out upgrading it (free) or I can't use it and need to remove it. Sincerely me

    Hi 8ublessed,
    I will agree with Test Screen Name, there is very less information to figure out the root cause of the issue you are facing. If you want to remove Adobe Reader, please use the cleaner tool - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • How can I remove adobe reader x?

    I hate this version I want 9 back but want to remove X first. Heaven forbid Adobe have an uninstall.
    Is it as simple as trashing the Application form the applications folder?Is there anything else to trash?
    Thanks,
    Marcantonio

    Thanks sig,
    That worked. I then went to http://get.adobe.com/reader/completion/?installer=Reader9.4_English_for_MacIntel to download AR 9.4 and it is working like a champ.
    FYI - AR X seems very powerful, but it I do not need the additional features. And what I did need, X was lacking. I need the Find/Search box in the toolbar which X does not have, it requires you to open Find, an extra step. Also, when printing, I hated how I needed to go to the Printer button, at the bottom of the AR print screen, just to set things like Layout and Paper Feed, etc. It will be interesting to see how other react to X.
    I appreciate all the help.
    Regards,
    Marcantonio

  • Can I remove Adobe 9 after I installed 11.2?

    Can I remove Adobe Reader 9 after I installed XI?

    You shouldn't have two different versions installed anyway - so yes. You may find it best to uninstall both, then put Reader XI back.

    Hi,
    in the previous post I leave out that everything starts with the automatic update.
    The update of Adobe Acrobat didn't finalize and leave me a message like before I reported. Then I tried to uninstall AR 9 and the process still finalized with error but now, maybe I could solve the problem...I uninstall the program with Revo uninstaller and download the new release of Adobe Reader 10, that maybe do not use the registry key corrupted like the update of AR 9 did.
    So, I still have the problem in the registry probably but I could install Adobe Reader.
    I think I can leave the key in the registry without any problem, I hope it doesn't affect any program or application.
    Thank you anyway

  • Installation How-to for minimal/small footprint Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin

    I need to install Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin in a small Linux based environment.
    As a proof-of-concept, I downloaded and installed the AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
    to an NFS share mounted to the Linux thinclient. That worked -- eg, the plugin was available
    to the browser so the OS will support that build. However, the client does not have much
    writable 'disk' space available and using any type of share (NFS/Samba) is not an option in
    the production environment.
    I need to use the plugin from within Firefox (6.0+) and have to be able to print via CUPS.
    DIsk space available is less than 50Mb, preferrably a lot less!
    Is there a guide available for a mimimal installation?
    Any sugguestions as to what files/directories I have to copy to the local filesystem for
    * an absolute minimum ?
    * a bit more if there's room?
    Suggestions / pointers appreciated..
    Tom

    First - what version of Adobe Reader do you have?
    And now it gets a little bit complicated.  Adobe Reader can be a plugin to Internet Explorer, and it crashes when you try to open an online PDF document.  That is not unknown; it happens sometimes.
    But when you open the standalone Adobe Reader, it also crashes with a plugin error.  This time it must be a plugin to Adobe Reader, not Internet Explorer.
    Furthermore you write "the same plugin error window pops up" - so I can only assume that it is a Reader plugin that crashes, not the IE plugin.
    What I would try in your situation:
    open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader;
    open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader and delete all plugin... folders;
    reinstall Adobe Reader from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe
    The path in the second line above could also be ...\Reader 8.0\... depending on your Reader version.
