Cannot download Adobe reader. What is error cod 150105?

I have a very old laptop. It runs windows XP-32, with Service Pack 3 loaded on it (and those are the only numbers I know connected to my computer).  I run Flashplayer 11 and Java 7.11 on it.  my Internet connection is Internet explorer. It cannot run chrome without crashing and firefox runs very slow. I have the standard Windows essentials anti-virus and firewall. IT does not have a Wi-Fi card in it and only 2 USB ports, which are both first generation and so have a slow data transfer rates.
               I do run disk cleanup and defrag often as well as the anti-virus after each Internet session.
That should give you an idea of the specs on my poor old laptop.
Now to the problem:
     I cannot download and install any version of Adobe reader.  I have gone back all the way to Adobe Reader 6 and still get the same message.
          "Adobe Reader cannot compete its installation. please refer to the minimum system requirements.
          Go to adobe.com/go/reader_system_regs. Error code 150105."
I could not access that webpage. I cannot find that error code.
Funny thing is, one of my electronic devices I bought came with Adobe Reader 7 on a CD-rom, and that installed just fine But it won't download the upgrades.
I am at a loss. I need a PDF reader.
What is going on with my poor computer?
What do I need to do to my computer to allow me to download  and install Adobe Reader XI?

I suggest that you download and run the Acrobat Cleaner Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Next download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ - all availabel Reader versions 9.5, 10.1, and 11.0 should run fine on Windows XP.

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
    1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
    2. cannot view a PDF file;
    3. or what?
    Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader

    I cannot download Adobe reader ... I have tried version 8 and 10 - I get to the 'Run' screen and get a message: Only single instance of this application can run'.  I do not have any other Adobe Reader versions running or loaded on my computer.  I am running Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 3 - Please let me know what steps I can take to download any version of Adobe Reader.  Thank you

    You may want to try the following.
    Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Then, download the Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and perform a clean install.

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader update

    I want to know why I cannot download Adobe Reader update? I went to the Adobe website without success. I'm experincing problem watching some movies or anything similar on Youtube because Adobe Reader is not up to date. So, I followed the instruction for downloading the new update, but, it stops at 97% and I getting a message to close Safari, although, the Safari is closed when installing the update. what should do for the proper installation?
    <Subject Edited by Host>

    Sorry, none of that worked. Its very frustrating.
    Also, since the last upgrade, which seems almost automatic, half of the icons for my bookmarks and actual websites have disappeared.
    I haven't upgraded to Mac OS Lion, is that part of these problems?

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

    I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
    Thanks.

    Krispy2010,
    Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
    Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store.  Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
    Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
    However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned.  It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

  • I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAC (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK)

    I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAX (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK

    This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
    But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things.

  • I have a new Window 7 version computer,  I cannot download Adobe Reader.  error 1316.A

    I have a new Window 7 Version Computer.  
    When I try to download Adobe Reader.  I get an error 1316.A.  What
    am I doing wrong.    Is this compatable with Widows 7?

    It could be that the Adobe Acrobat trial came pre-installed on your machine.
    Best thing to do is to go to add/remove programs, remove Acrobat (and Reader if it exists) then try your install again.
    It also might be a good idea to run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility (I think they have a version for Win 7 anyway) and use it to remove any leftover pieces before trying the install.

  • Cannot download Adobe reader error "Can't establish SSL connection (16248.331.1095.307)"

    I have XP x64 SP2 and have tried to download Adobe Reader. I get an error; "Can't establish SSL connection (16248.331.1095.307)" and
    then after a couple of these, it closes the download manager.
    We are using IE6.0.3790.359 128 cipher
    As to the alternate browsers, our corporation will not allow them to be loaded. So we cannot use other browser.
    The installation steps are: click get reader, allow activeX, unclick Google bar and click download- simple stuff.
    Please refer to the screen shot
    Thanks

    Assuming that you want the English version of Adobe Reader 9.2, you can download it without download manager from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/enu/AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe
    If you're looking for a different version, find it at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/

    Hi. I am using google chrome as my browser. i tried to download adobe reader. it downloads the .exe file. i try to run it and i save it. (after saying yes to security). But then it doesn't do anything and I can't download any Adobe products. My flash driver was also removed. I tried to install McAfee and it started doing this.

  • Cannot download Adobe Reader in Windows 7 on Dell computer

    Whenever I try to download Adobe Reader, when I press "Finish" on installation, the Adobe logo takes over the whole computer and I cannot access any programme.  The entire taskbar becomes a series of Adobe logos and all programmes are preceded by the logo.
    I cannot access anything and am forced each time simply to uninstall it again, and go back to Foxit Reader, but I really would prefer Adobe.  Adobe Flash Player works fine on the computer.  Can anyone help please?

    Hi penelopes6554204,
    I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
    Please try to download Latest version of Adobe Reader i.e Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using this link  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions & check if you still experience the same issue.
