Everytime Adobe Reader 9 is extracting installation files, about half way, Windows XP SP3 reboots

Everytime Adobe Reader 9 is extracting installation files, about half way, Windows XP SP3 reboots. Therefore, I am unable to install the Adobe Reader on my computer. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks for the replies. I have followed most of the suggestions given in "Test Screen Name" response. Unfortunately, I have not been able to correctly identify and eliminate rootkit infections (viruses), if any. Furthermore, even when I try to install Adobe Reader X, the system freezes when about 53% of the installation is complete. I am still trying to figure this problem out.
Good news!
I just installed Adobe Reader 11 and it worked beautifully!
Thanks again for your suggestions.

  • Is the installation file for adobe reader, the same for all the versions of windows ? Is it ?

    Hello,
    I want to know if the installation file for adobe reader is it the same for all the windows ?
    It is because I have to do an automatic installation for XP, seven and windows 8...
    It is also the same between 32bits and 64bits ?
    Thanks.
    Best regards
    Sofia Luna

    It may be worth mentioning two things.
    1. Adobe provide extensive information on Enterprise Deployment of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
    2. You may well need a redistribution license to do this, if you are installing on behalf of anyone (accepting EULA for them), pushing, or hosting etc.

  • Adobe Reader does not recognize file name (filename10.5.11.pdf) but does in Adobe Standard 9.  Why?

    I post documents to our Intranet site and found out recently that Adobe Reader does not recognize certain file names in PDF files.  For instance,  when trying to open a PDF file with the name
    filename10.5.11.pdf  in Adobe Reader, the web browser will not open the PDF and the display is blank.   When I'm using another computer with Adobe Standard 9, I do not have a problem opening the file.
    I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar issue and why Reader will not recognize the file name and Standard does.

    The version is Adobe Reader 10.1.0    I will request the latest version
    and let you know if that fixes the problem
    Actually I had changed the name of the file so our associates could access
    the file (changed the  .  to a hyphen)  It still made me wonder why Reader
    wouldn't open it at that time.
    Thanks again for you assistance and I will let you know if this resolves
    the  issue.
    Regards,
    Susan

    Hi Susan,
    Thanks for providing the information.
    Could you also let me know what is the exact version of Adobe Reader on
    your system. You can check the same y clicking on Help > About Adobe
    Reader X.
    In case its not 10.1.1, please try updating to the latest version and see
    if the problem persists.
    Also, does any other PDF with a different filename open in Internet
    Explorer correctly?
    Thanks
    Ankit

  • Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

    My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
    on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
    Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
    During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
    each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
    is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
    IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
    (0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
    Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
    CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
    The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
    anything at the moment.
    Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
    individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
    Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted? 
    Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
    What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
    files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
    The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:
    0x0409.ini                        5KB          Configuration Settings        2/18/2003
    abcpy.ini                          2KB          Configuration Settings        3/24/2003
    Adobe Reader 6.0.msi      2198KB     Windows Installer               5/19/2003

    Rdr60ENU.mst               4KB            MST file                           4/16/2003
    Setup.exe                      212KB        Application                        5/19/2003
    Setup.ini                        2KB            Configuration Settings        5/19/2003
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
    After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
    After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
    As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

    I want to remove this unwanted popup. please provide any possible solutions.

    Hi ravindra, what i can suggest you is to set a breakpoint just before ur cursor goes into the pdf part and just comment the part when it comes to the popup. its very easy and the best way to do it.

    Go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" into the filter field. Select the action that you want to associate with PDF files.
    In your case select one of the "Use Adobe Acrobat" actions.

  • Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it  with Microsoft Office

    I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
    I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message:  "There was an error  during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and  "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

    I'm having a similar issue.  The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message.  If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
    Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
    In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue.  This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server.  I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
    Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

  • Adobe Reader could not open "file"

    Adobe Reader could not open "file" because it is either not a supported file or it has been damaged. All files and programs on the desktop are shown as Adobe Reader ikons. When I remove the Adobe Reader program, the desktop is ok but when I reinstall the Adobe Reader it makes a mess again on the desktop and in all programs. It seems that the Adobe Reader is somehow a default program for all applications. How do I solve that problem? Best regards Helle D.

    For your first question: are you sure that 'file' is a PDF file and that it is not damaged? And you may find this useful for your second question:

    I have a new hp tower running windows 8.1 and have been trying to install the adobe reader.  The installer downloads (1meg) and I choose to run it but it just sits with an empty screen.  I've checked task manager and it takes up memory but does nothing.  After letting it run for 3-4 minutes I kill the task.  What can I do to get the reader installed on this machine?  I've tried using chrome, firefox and explorer and get the same results with each.

    Try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

  • Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 freezes intermittently on Windows 8.1 when doing "Save As"

    Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 freezes intermittently on Windows 8.1 when doing "Save As". This occurs when opening a file from Outlook or from the web. I have IE 11 and Microsoft Office 365 installed on a Toshiba Satellite P50. Windows and Office have the latest updates. There are no error messages. I can clear Adobe Reader with Task Manager. Opening the PDF again has the same result in that it may hang or work correctly when doing a “Save As” again. This occurs intermittently when charging the laptop or when on battery.

    Some things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • TS1424 I cannot hear my entire audiobook.  About half way through the book (Have a New You by Friday) there is no audio.  Can I re-download it?

    I cannot hear my entire audiobook.  About half way through it there is no audio.  Can I re-download it?

    They downloaded into seperate files but when I double click the .exe file for the 7z it works fine, however with the other file i recieve a message that "The file archive part of adobe Photoshop 11 is missing. You need all parts in the same file to extract Adobe Photoshop 11. Please download all parts." It looks like the download should be fine, I never recieved an error and I've now downloaded it twice (it takes forever) and neither will work. I am running Windows 8 and I'm wondering if there might be a conflict somehow?
