Cannot get Adobe Reader to load a PDF on Firefox. Tried all the recommended solutions, none work

Every time I try to download a PDF file from a website, I get an error message that "Adobe Acrobat/Reader cannot be opened in a web browser, close it and try again". I have uninstalled and re-installed both firefox and adobe reader as well, and then followed the suggestions again. Still doesn't work. I am running Windows XP

Also, sorry -- one more thought:
When I run through the "Troubleshoot compatibility" it tells me that something is incompatible ("issues found: Incompatible Application").  when it asks me, "which version of Windows did this program work on before?" it doesn't give me windows 7 as an option.
Help!

  • Firefox 7 is slow in loading web pages (over a minute and I give up, but I walked away and they eventually loaded) and IE loads them quickly. I tried all the help solutions with no change. I disabled Norton with no change. I am running Windows 7.

    When I restarted in safe mode, everything worked fine, so I disabled add-ons and plug-ins one at a time but couldn't find any of them that were causing the problem.

    I had the same problem and found the solution [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=11309303#p11309303 here] here
    The solution involved going to about:config and changing "network.http.max-connections" line value from 256 to 48

  • Having trouble getting adobe reader to load...any help??

    I can not get adobe reader to load   any help out there?/

    Is the Artist information being completed correctly in iTunes or is it blank?
    If it is blank then you need to add the Artist information before you transfer it to the iPod.
    In iTunes Select the Album and the go to the File Menu and select the Get Info option, enter the Artist name and click OK.

  • I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    I cannot get Adobe Reader 11 to work - what have I done wrong?

    Hi Pat,
    I usually don’t have trouble explaining my problems, but this one is confusing the heck out of me.  I just downloaded Reader 11.  It is installed, I believe.  This is the first time Reader has not worked for me after upgrading to a newer version.  I’ve been reading PDF files forever, but tonight when I went to read a pdf file that I received today, I clicked on the file, expecting Reader to open up and it never did.  Then I tried to read some older pdf files and nothing happened when I tried to open the file.  I’ve been using Acrobat Reader for years so that’s why I’m so confused.
    I downloaded the file from the adobe.com website. and everything seemed to be fine.  My question is indeed vague, but I don’t know any other way to explain what happened.  Should I uninstall and start over??
    Thanks, Elaine

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Cannot open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file

    When I try to open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file, it says that it "cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?"  When I choose open with Protected Mode disabled, it then displays "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.” Please help. Thank you. All PDF’s and adobe reader use to work on my computer. Thank you.  When I try troubleshooting the problem, “incompatible application” is listed under the troubleshooting report.

    Hi
    Please follow this KB doc: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • I cannot get adobe reader xi to work in google chrome running vista

    I have tried everything to get Adobe reader to work in my google chrome and it wont work? I am using Chrome and Vista - I have allowed the plug in- uninstalled and reinstalled many times and when I open reader- it says Adobe reader has closed and it shuts down.

    Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • After updating to itunes 10 i now get an error message saying there is a problem with the windows insaller package - I have tried all the suggestions but nothing works for me - have I lost all my itunes forever?

    After updating to itunes 10 I now get an error message that says there is a problem with the windows installer package. I have tried all the things that others suggested but cannot download itunes at all now. Have I lost itunes forever?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • How do I get to preview when I want to see a bank statement? I cannot get adobe reader to work. It just shows a black screen.

    How does previews work when trying to see a bank statement?

    Is your bank statement a PDF file? If so, simply double clicking it will open whatever is the default reader of PDF files. (A way to check is to select any PDF file in the Finder, go to File > Get Info, and look at the "Open With" drop down. By default, without Adobe Reader installed, it should show Preview. If Adobe Reader is installed correctly, it might say "Adobe Reader." BTW, you can change it back to Preview!)
    It's also possible to control click or right click the file and choose the application to open the file using the Open With option. If Preview isn't an option, click "Other" and navigate to the Applications folder to select Preview.
    Hope this helps!

  • I recently upgraded to Mavericks, and now I cannot get Adobe Reader to install.

    I have a MacBook Pro with 10.9.2. I was unable to open the version of Adobe Reader I had been using, so I used CleanMyMac to uninstall it. I then tried to install Adobe Reader multiple times to no avail. I am able to download and begin the installation process, but depending on where I download from, I get one of two messages. One reads, "Package name is Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06) installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)"
    The other error message, using the other AR download, says, "Found a higher version Adobe Reader in the installation location. Installation will terminate."
    I have, as noted, uninstalled everything Adobe from the computer. I have turned the computer on and off. I have emptied the trash.
    Any suggestions on something else to try?
    Thanks in advance,
    Elise

    CleanMyMac is not really recommended software, you should take a look at the many threads on these forums that discuss whether it is needed & if it is safe to use.
    Personally I don't think it is safe to use tools like CMM because they can encourage you to 'clean' essential system files that the OS needs. It also runs processes in the background that use up system resources for what purpose?
    As for Adobe Reader. It's clear that CMM didn't remove all traces of Reader since Adobe's installer is still finding evidence of a 'newer' version installed (this seems like an error on the part of the installer).
    You will need to follow Adobe's instructions for removing Reader correctly, instructions vary for each version of Reader, so you will need to try to figure out what was installed.

  • I cannot get adobe reader to download on an Acer Aspire 1 using Win 7 and Mcafee virus scan and firewall?

    as sta.ted above i cannot download the Reader software from the Adobe website.there is nothing saved in nthe Windows downloads folder nor is there any sign of the Downloads box. We hnave W7 on the pc so know what to expect. Have even tried saving it in ano9ther location. Stil no good. Currently have the new Firefox and Windows and Mcaffe dowloads are happening automatically. Any ideas? Using an Acer Aspire one netbook

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps to download the Adobe Reader file.
    *http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
    If that still fails then you will have to use another computer to download the file and use an USB stick too transfer the file.

  • Cannot get Adobe Reader to open anymore

    I have an HP Pavillion 500 PC with Windows 8.
    I installed Adobe Reader last summer and it has been working fine until last week.
    It refuses to download any new files and will not open if I click the icon.
    Please help :-)
    Many thanks!

    First thing I would try: repair Adobe Reader (from Control Panel | Programs & Features).
    If that does not help, uninstall Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    then download and install the latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • I cannot open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF files.

    When I tried to open the Reader's program, it just opened a gray page and then closed by itself.  I am on Windows 7 and already ran TDSSKiller to check for rootkit infection.  It said, "no threats found."  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Reader program, but it didn't work still.  I used to be able to run Reader's earlier version.  What do I do now?  Thanks!

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    Another thing to try is using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

  • Cannot get adobe reader to work to print off bank statements

    Can anyone help me with this one: The patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exits and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package.

    Assuming that you are on Windows, I suggest that you uninstall / reinstall Adobe Reader.
    If you also have difficulties doing that, try http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
