I have tried to install the new version of Adobe Reader XI, but I keep getting the following error messages.
I have tried to follow suggestion by others on the web as to how to sort this problem out.
I have uninstalled adobe reader and restarted the computer.
tried to download again but still get the error message.
The full error message I got was,
Error 1406.Could not write value Adobe ARM to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
I went to the registry HKEY_Local_Machine and then to the above location.
in the right hand side of the registry editor is listed ADOBE ARM   "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe"
I have tried to delete this entry but my system wont let me.
I am running Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
I have 4 Gb RAM
I have an Intel core2 Quad Q6600 @2.40Ghz
I run Zone Alarm Extreme Security with virus protection.
I hope someone can help as I want to install Adobe Reader.

Truthfully, I don¹t know the difference.
Okay here is what happened:
I purchased a new Mac because my old one was on the fritz.  They put all of
my old programs on my new computer including my old Adobe Acrobat 7.0
Standard.  Since I purchased a newer computer, I gave the old one to my
assistant.  But the Apple people replaced the hard drive on the old one, so
none of the old programs were in the system.  I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI
Standard for the new computer and figured I could just reload the old
acrobat on the old computer. But I had to buy new windows and parallels
programs in order to get the parallels program to work on the old computer.
Here¹s what it looks like:
New Computer:
Old Windows
New Acrobat
Old Parallels
Old computer
New Windows
New Parallels
Old Acrobat
How much more messy could this get?
Maybe I should put all of the old stuff on the old computer and all of the
new stuff on the new computer?
Or, maybe I should just update everything? Prior to this everything worked
fine. . .
But, what do you think?
