Frequently asked to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro

This is becoming an aggravating issue with me.  I don't mind uninstalling and reinstalling, but to go through all the updates is time consuming.  I have yet to find anything from Adobe that addresses this.  Perhaps I missed something/  Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you for the quick response, Bill@VT. 
I open Acrobat 9 Pro and an error screen appears on top of the gray portion of Acrobat workspace  that says to the effect that " the program will no longer start.  You must uninstall and reinstall the program". I did not capture the error message, but it had no number."  What I was doing right before that was trying to load a .pdf to Acrobat. 
I am running Win XP Pro sp3.  This has been an on-going problem for the past year, maybe a little more.   It has happened several times since January of this year.  It does not correspond with any new programs I have installed, unless some auto update from HP or Windows Update is triggering it.  Basically, nothing has changed on this system since I first installed the program in 2008, other than hard drive upgrades and program updates.  None of which have taken place within a month or two of when the program fails to start.
When it happens again, I will be sure to capture the screenshot of the error message.  It takes a couple of hours to reinstall all the updates to get to the final 9.5.  
It is difficult to recall exactly what I was doing before this happens in past incidents.  Today, an hour or two before, I had downloaded a .pdf of a meeting agenda from a trusted site (a city government website...if that can be considered "trusted"!!).  I hadn't opened any strange emails, but had just used Elements 11 to edit some photos that I saved to a file.  I use AVG anti-virus and also scan with Malwarebytes once a week or so.  There doesn't seem to be a pattern to this error.
As for the Acrobat 9 Pro updates, long ago I bookmarked the link you shared.  I download them fresh from the site even though I have copies in a folder. 
For the record, I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 installed along with an older version of it, both work flawlessly.

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling final cut pro x 10.0.9

    Hello all Can anyone tell me how to Uninstall and reinstall final cut pro x 10.0.9. Can I redownload final cut pro x I bought it on line. Also I'm running  Lion.
    My problelm with FCX it hangs after a few clicks. I have cleared preferences but no avail.  Help please.
    Can not update to Maverick.

    Hopefully, you can fix before having to uninstall. If you so the only way you can get 10.0.9 is to install Mountain Lion (10.8.))
    Does it hang with all projects? 
    How did you trash preferences? Use this app if you didn't earlier.

  • Apple requested update downloaded, but failed, now asking to uninstall and reinstall

    Having problems with ITunes and cannot reinstall. Fails each time. Need help.

    Followed these instructions with a few changes. (Windows 7 x64)
    Uninstalled programs in the following order:
    - Itunes
    - Apple Application Support
    - Apple Software Update
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Mobile Device Support (uninstall failed due to Apple Mobile Device failure)***
    - Restarted System
    - Redownloaded Itunes from website.
    - Run installer as Administratot
    - Succefully installed
    ***To uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Right clicked on Apple Mobile Device Support, Clicked Charge (second option), Repair, Next (failed to repari)
    - Right clicked the Apple Mobile Device Support in the Programs and Features window and clicked Repair (third option in drop down list). (repaired successfully)
    - Uninstall successful after the repair.
    Below is a guess at a quicker solution:
    Looking at the uninstalls, it may be worth trying to repair the Apple Mobile Device Support through the Program and Features window before trying to uninstall everything.  It may be a faster fix for the freezing service.  After the repair is successful the itunes update may work.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to uninstall and reinstall acrobat 9.0 on another machine

    I have Acrobat 9.0 on one machine and wish to move to another machine.  Need to grab serial number from first machine before uninstall.  Have found one in the registry -- is that correct or is it anothe place???

    The full serial number is not available on the machine in a way that you can get to it. You have to have the serial number from the jewel case or the information provided by Adobe if downloaded. For the download, you should always backup to CD or other media and save the serial number with the backup.
    If you registered your installation, you can get help from Adobe if you lost the serial number (never tried, but that is what folks are told).

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes?

    Hi there. I just finished a firmwaree update on my MacBook, as well as an iOS 6 update on my iPhone, and now iTunes is telling me my version is corrupted or not insatlled properly? I'm being asked to uninstall and reinstall. Two questions:
    1. How do i uninstall? Is it as simple as going to Apple.com and downlaoding the latest version of iTunes?
    2. Is all my current content safe?

    Hi,
    Yes, download latest version of iTunes from apple.com
    Your content should be safe but you should have a back up in any event.

    My mac os frequently freezes for one to two minutes at a time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer 11.3 several times because I sometimes get a crash report on flashplayer. I would like other suggestions as to what more I can do.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

    My Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard stopped working after I performed an msconfig. I get the following message: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product..." I installed this on Jan. 7, 2010 and I have since misplaced the disk.
    How do I fix the problem?

    Hi Ali,
    You can download Acrobat 9 Std. from: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/8d640488-4a92-4f7d-b50b-d8eb7f96bff8
    and reinstall the software.

  • Acrobat 9.5.5 must uninstall and reinstall.  if I uninstall will I have to buy a new product?

    Chat support has sent me to the forums for help.
    My Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5 suddenly will not open.
    The error is that I must uninstall and reinstall.
    I have run a repair, and restarted the computer, but the problem persists.
    My question: if I do uninstall my Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5, will I be able to
    reinstall it?  or will I need spend another $299 to buy a new product?

    If you run out of activations because of a failure, you can talk to support to explain and have them increase the number of activations. You will still need the install file (I hope you backed it up) and the SN (and SN for qualifying product if an upgrade). After the install, you will still have to do the updates.

  • Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

    Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

    As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.
