Help! Acrobat X Standard won't start

I have standalone Acrobat X Standard. It was working fine but now will not start. When I try to open the program, the wait icon is shown momentarily and then disappears. Acrobat shows as running in Task Manager, but nothing appears. I have reinstalled the program but the same problem occurs. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I have searched the forum and don't see this problem referred to except in respect of bundles (which I don't have).

Hey canadianlawyer,
Please log in as administrator and disable anti-virus programs (if any) running on your computer as that might be interrupting.
If you still face the problem, then try running the cleaner tool to remove all traces of the software:
Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
Now, download and install Acrobat X again from the below mentioned link:
Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
Let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Anubha

  • Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

    My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my  Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does.  I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
    "ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't start

    Acrobat X Pro (10.1.6) won't start after Windows update on 3/13/13. Running Windows 7. I do not have CS6 and the Acrofix download does not solve the problem. I have reinstalled the software, applied Adobe updates (at least what I could find) and updated all Dell drivers. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?

    Thanks Bill. I did try the repair first before I reinstalled the first
    time. I’ll give another go and try the cleaner as well.

  • Acrobat reader XI won't start

    Hello,
    For quite some time now I am unable to open Adobe acrobat reader / any other PDF file.
    When I open it, in windows task manager I can see there is a running process, but it stays like that.
    I have tried uninstalling, restarting my pc and reinstalling but it still won't start.
    I am running on Windows 7 with all the important updates installed.
    Can anybody help please?

    Now I'm trying to disabled reader_sl.exe from running on startup. I don't see it in Startup menu/Services/msconfig.
    The only adobe related program that is running at starting is AdobeARM.exe.
    Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thank you
    EDIT: Ok I found it myself. It was the AdobeARM.exe that was running reader_sl.exe. Disabling it in msconfig did the trick.
    From this point I am not sure if it was both the eula.exe and reader_sl.exe or just the reader_sl.exe.
    Good that I found it, now I can continue using my favorite PDF reader and it seems faster without the speedlauncher. Maybe because I have SanDisk ExpressCache.

  • Help!  G4 iBook won't start up

    I had to shut down and restart my iBook two or three times in succession. On the final time, the iBook began to start up, but then there was a 'click' and it shut down completely. Now I can't get it to start up at all, when I press the start up button nothing at all happens. The battery is fully charged, I have tried it running off the mains, and have also tried holding down Shift etc. I can't start it up from the CD either, as it won't pull the CD in.
    Can anyone help please?

    Welcome to Apple Computer!
    Here is an article that might help:

  • Acrobat 9 Standard won't update

    I had to reinstall my Acrobat 9 Standard on my new Windows 7 computer and the Updater says there are no updates available right after installation. I know there are because my old computer said the Acrobat version was 9.5.5
    Is there somewhere to find the updates manually?

    Hi cgualiano ,
    Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, The latest update for Acrobat 9 is 9.5.5.
    There isn't any further update for Acrobat 9 as we have declared End Of life for Acrobat 9.
    Thanks,

  • Need help with laptop that won't start up

    I have a Toshiba c655 laptop that had some viruses on it; *thought* I'd fixed it and all was well.  When I turned off and re-started the computer, the screen showed "Toshiba Innovations", and at the bottom the options of pressing F2 for startup or F12 for boot manager...this screen is quickly replaced by a black screen with a white cursor in the top left hand corner.  When I hit F2 or F12 and go to those screens, I'm not computer savvy enough to know what options (if any) I should choose that might help me to get this thing started....seems nothing happens with any of the buttons I push.  The scenario I just described is the only thing this computer will do now.  Any help?  Thank you so much!

    it sounds like missing system/boot  files on hdd
    1. try to press f2 during toshiba screen to go in bios and load default settings.
    2. press f12 and select boot from cd if you have system rapair disk...or any live cd to backup your files
    3. the last option ... press 0 on toshiba screen for system recovery...this will delete all information
    sorry for my english

  • Acrobat 8 Standard won't open Acrobat 9 file??

    Hi All:
    I received an Acrobat 9 PDF file that I need to edit, but Acrobat Standard 8 won't open it.  I can open the file using Acrobat Reader 9 on another machine, so I know the file is OK.  Are there add-ons to allow 8 Standard to work with a 9 file or, conversely, are there ways to convert a 9 file to be compatable with 8?
    Looking for help!

    Thanks for the prompt comments and suggestions : )
    The source of the file is travelling - are there any online tools that can convert a 9 file to an 8 file?

  • Please help...Macbook won't start up!

    All,
    I need help with my Macbook because it won't turn on. A few nights ago it was shut down, but before completely turning off it stuck on a grey/white screen. The keys were unresponsive and only gave the "bell" sound when pressed. I turned it off by keeping the power button depressed.
    Upon trying to switch it on last night, it loads up withthe apple symbol and the pinwheel but then goes to a grey screen reading "You need to restart your machine. Press and hold the power button or press the reset button". I tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM which did nothing.
    I don't know much about Mac's but I am able to start it in safe mode, but what comes up doesn't mean a lot to me. it then stops and stalls whilst still with the black screen and white writing...?
    Will I have to start with the disk utility etc?
    Please, all advice will be very helpful!
    Thanks

    Hi
    The "You need to restart your computer" message indicates a kernel panic, which often points to a hardware fault (often a RAM fault).
    Can you reboot the computer from the original installation disk? (Start the computer, insert the disk, force-reboot it again, hold down the C key. If that doesn't work, reboot and hold down the Option key, and then choose the DVD as a startup source. If it loads to the installation screen, try running DIsk Utility from the Utilities menu - run Repair Disk and Repair Permissions. Let us know if you see any errors (from the Repair Disk routine).
    Have you upgraded the RAM at all? If so, try removing the new RAM and leaving (or replacing with) the old RAM.
    Is your Macbook still under warranty?
    Do you have backups of your files?

  • Help please! Imac won't start and running out of ideas

    Help! My imac G4 Flat Panel running tiger won't boot or go beyond the grey screen, here's what happened,
    I went away on holiday for ten days and unplugged it, on return it worked fine for the first few goes however after leaving it with alot of photos open for a couple of hours I returned and the screen had gone funny, showed the app window on top but not properly and grey on the bottom two thirds, I could just about move the mouse which was ghosting and it sort of worked but not properly, I switched it off on the power switch and rebooted and it was okay for a few more sessions until getting stuck with the mail app open, I tried to force quit but couldn't and eventually turned it off on the switch, after which it won't boot or go beyond the grey screen every time I switch it on, I've tried all the following with no joy:
    -unplugged all peripherals
    -taken out airport card and extra ram I'd fitted myself about six months ago
    - done command, option, p and r on switching on, also command x and command option.
    - tried to boot from the original os x cd which came with it - this gives me a broken mac symbol and multicoloured spinning ball
    - boot from os9 disk which came with it this gives me a flashing question mark sometimes but most times just the grey screen.
    - boot from apple hardware test diagnostic cd which came with it, just says loading and hangs
    - boot from tiger dvd - shows the apple logo then a sign similar to no entry sign and spinning thing underneath.
    I've tried rebooting about 100 times now, as it once did a similar thing about eight months ago but eventually booted okay and then I ran check permissions etc. and never had a problem until now.
    I've put everything I can think of in in case any of it is important, apologies if there's too much extra info here but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful, am a bit stuck without it, luckily I've backed up most of my stuff but there's some things I haven't. please help! thanks

    Sorry to hear about your problem and I wish I had happy news. Sounds like what I am going through. Just spent over 200$ getting the Tiger upgrade installed at a Mac repair place because I wanted it done right, and had the RAM upgraded. After two weeks of bliss I get a gray screen with a spinning gear. The CD drawer wont open, nothing. Take it back to the shop and I find my hard drive is done. This is the SECOND hard drive. My G-4 came with a 40 gig HD, the one that they replaced it with 2 years ago was an 80 gig. I hope thats not whats going on with yours but it sure sounds like it. I beginning to wonder if there isn't a design issue going on here. I am a casual computer user but my son is on it for hours at a time and I'm wondering about heat buildup and the hard drive. Gonna ask that question when I pick it up, good luck with yours.

  • I need help. My N97 won't start anymore...

    Hi,
    I've got a huge problem.
    I tried to install a language pack for the dictionary (Spanish - English).
    As you probably know, one has to download it from nokia.com. After getting the .sis file, I started the installation. And what happened?? My N97 crashed...
    So I thought I should take out the battery inorder to reboot the OS...
    But now I can't start my phone anymore. I just see the word NOKIA and thats all. 
    I searched everywhere inorder to reset my phone, but really nothing....
    I found this: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=141381&view=by_date_ascending&page=2
    Having read this, I assume that I can forget to ask you... since it is not possible to reset it manually.
    Sarte

    Very vague.
    unless you give more info and explain what has happened, it is doubtful that anyone can help.

  • HELP! Dreamweaver 8 won't start!

    When I try to start Dreamweaver 8, it goes through it's
    regular start up, shows the Dreamweaver 8 startup icon but when it
    reaches "initializing files" it quits and I get the error message
    "the application Dreamweaver quit unexpectedly".
    I use a Mac Powerbook G4 running OS X (10.4.9). I've
    uninstalled Dreamweaver & reinstalled it. I've repaired my disk
    permissions and verified the disc. I've downloaded and installed
    the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 updater as I'd heard it fixed the "failure to
    launch" problem. It didn't fix the problem. I'm at the end of my
    rope here with this pretty soon. Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks, SD

    Install the 8.0.2 updater:

  • Help! InDesign CC won't start on this darn PC!

    I've been looking through the forums; tried deleting my preferences (no good), uninstalling and reinstalling the older version (which used to work just fine) only to have the same thing keep happening. I'm a long-time Mac user and just started using the home PC for outside work. Anyone help me so I don't have to ask my software engineer husband who DETESTS Macs and all things Adobe? I'll never hear the end of it.
    PC is a Dell Inspirion 530 running Windows 7 Professional, 4GB RAM, 64-bit operating system.
    InDesign CC currently installed is v 9.0

    Did you use the Cleaner Tool to uninstall: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6. As a last resource I would try restore to a date before the installing and start all over.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard won't register

    Having a problem registering acrobat after reinstalling after a system crash meant that I had to wipe the hard drive and start again. I get an error message saying "a problem was encountered while trying to send information over the internet". It installed okay and license accepted.

    Hi Terry,
    If you have already registered the software, you need not register again.
    If the software has been installed, activated and EULA accepted then you can use it without any worries.
