Install error Acrobat Pro 9 stops at Synaptics

During the install of Acrobat Pro 9 I am getting an error that stops the install.  It says:
A newer version of the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver is installed.
If you want to install the older version of the Driver, please uninstall the current Synaptics driver by selecting "Synaptics Pointing Device" from the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel, then run Setup again.
It only gives one option and that is "Ok".  The install cancels when ok is pressed.
I don't have "Synaptics Pointing Device" in  "Add/Remove Programs".
There is a touch pad on this Lenovo laptop running XP Pro .
How can I get around this and install  Acrobat Pro 9?
Thanks,
Docfxit

Hi Docfxit
I have found at least one other instance of this happeneing:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Options-Accessories/USB-UltraNav-keyboard-problems/m-p/66041
And it is not Adobe related. I think you should try Lenovo for fixing this...
Our whole office has Lenovo ThinkPads with XP Pro and have had no problem...
The Synaptics Pointing Device Driver is the driver that enables your touchpad.... So it would be under the hardware management devices, not add/remove programs... fishy...
Other than that, it looks like it's not specific to the Acro 9 installer, so we'll be hard put to help here...
Good luck!

  • Cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP

    Good day,
    I cannot install Adobe Acrobat Pro on my windows XP machine with SP2 and the latest updates.
    The error says that the software cannot be installed on the Operating system, please see minimum requirements. I meet all these but cannot install
    I saw a similar question posted on the forums but it is unanswered.
    Please assist me.

    Hi,
    This link has the minimum system requirements for Acrobat 10 Pro : Acrobat X Pro Tech Specs
    On Windows XP, the minimum requirement is SP3 for 32 bit. I would recommend that you update to SP3 by running Windows Update and then reinstall the application.

  • Can't update re-install of Acrobat Pro 8

    Hi, all,
    I've just tried to install the Acrobat Pro 8.22 patch but received the "no installer files" error. I used the MS Installer cleanup utility to remove Acrobat Pro from the installer, then reinstalled Acrobat successfully, but then when I tried to update I was told no updates are available. Since it was then at v8.0, I knew this was wrong. I uninstalled/reinstalled and was happy to see that the product would update, but it would update only as far as v8.1.3. I next downloaded all the available updates for a manual install, but when I double-click on the MSP files, instead of running the patch, all I get are a list of options. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to reset the updates so the Acrobat no longer thinks it's fully patched? Or if there's a way to repair the MSP function so I can run the MSP files and manually installl the patches?
    TIA,
    GaryK

    I got nailed by that update this morning, and am currently restoring my Windows XP-SP3 system from a backup.
    Look at your %SystemRoot%\Installer folder.  I bet it's completely empty.  It's supposed to have a lot of files and folders in it.
    At first I just received that obscure "installation failed" message that the Updater throws up (by the way, Updater looks a little different this time around, doesn't it?)  After an hour or so of working on the PC a few desktop icons for installed programs went blank, looking like a white box with a blue bar on top of the box.  I tried seaching for the icon and was getting messages about %SystemRoot%\Installer\{<some long alphanumeric directory>} not found.
    I looked in the %SystemRoot%\Installer folder and it was completely empty.
    I booted up a backup hard drive I had been on a couple of weeks ago (I recently migrated to a SSD drive) and looked at %SystemRoot%\Installer and it was full of folders and files.  A few minutes later the Updater told me I should apply the update.  I did, it failed.  I looked into %SystemRoot%\Installer again and it was completely empty.
    I'm now restoring from a backup of that hard drive, which I made in case my foray into SSD drives didn't work out.

  • Installing Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 on a new laptop, but it doesn't accept my serial number

    Hello,
    On my old laptop I had installed and licensed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I retired my old laptop and bought a new one. I want to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 now on the new one. But seemingly my serial number is not accepted any more. That's what I did so far
    1. Downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html
    2. Retrieved my serial number from Adobe ID (it matched what I have found out locally on my old computer)
    2. Started the installation
    3. Entered my serial number when asked for. Then I get a message "Invalid Serial Number"
    Who can help please?
    Best regards,
    Dr. Rolf Schlagenhaft (Freescale Semiconductor)

    RolfSchlagenhaft there are no registered Adobe software titles under the account you are posting to the Adobe forums with.  You will want to attempt to locate the account which has your registered serial number.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.  If you need assistance locating the account which contains your serial number then please contact our support team at Contact Customer Care.
    Finally if you have a volume license for Acrobat 9 Professional then the installation files are only available at https://licensing.adobe.com/.  The installation files you downloaded are for the retail version of Acrobat 9 Professional.  This may be another cause of you receiving the message that your serial number is invalid.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Stops Responding

    I work in IT as desktop support for a city. We have a user that is always calling and saying that she cannot open PDF files. What happens is that Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 stops responding and you must go into Task Manager and kill Acrobat.exe. We've taught the user how to do this, because she's been having the issue for apparently 2-3 years.
    Here's the thing...
    She is the ONLY user in the city (of about 1000 users) that has this issue. She first had Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, so we upgraded her to 9, we have created a new profile on her machine, we have uninstalled and reinstalled, we've wiped her hard drive and started over, and we've given her 2 new computers. Nothing has worked! We just gave her a brand new computer with everything up to date yesterday. This morning she called after about 3 hours of using it saying she's having the same issue.
    Considering everything we've done, and that nobody else has this issue, we believe she is causing this issue. But we don't know how. We have never been able to replicate the problem ourselves. This afternoon we are sending a tech to sit with her to watch her and hopefully see if she is doing something that could cause this.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Logan T.

    She's a buyer for the city and recieves a lot of PDFs through e-mail. I think that's where most of her PDFs are opened from (Outlook 2007). I'm not sure how many she creates herself. I'm honestly wondering if she even needs Adobe Acrobat or if Adobe Reader would just be fine (she claims she needs it). That will be something the tech can look at today while he is there.

  • Installing Adobe Acrobat Pro on Laptop & New PC

    Previously submitted on 9/02/12 but pressed for an answer quickly, please.
    I have previously installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a laptop and a desktop computer. I had to replace the desktop with a new system having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  I have installed the Windows XP Virtual system to run several legacy programs crucial to my business.  I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 in the Windows 7 operating system and now need it installed in the XP Virtual system to access the Adobe printer for use with the legacy programs. How do I accomplish this feat?
    Does the XP virtual installation count as a 3rd installation which is not allowed by my license even though this computer is the 2nd computer permitted by my license? If so, it seems I might be penalized.
    Help, please. Is there an option in lieu of purchasing a new license?
    Thanks in advance for all responses.

  • I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. It won't start.

    I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. I double click the desktop icon and double click on a PDF file and the hour glass (circle) appears for about 5 seconds but no Adobe Acrobat.

    If it's not launching you can try repairing it from the control panel.  If that doesn't work then try reinstalling it.

  • Can't install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    I purchased CS5 about 18 months ago and have recently had the need to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which came with it. However, the disc isn't being read and I can't find anywhere to download Acrobat Pro 9 in order to use the serial number. Please advise! I need it quite urgently.

    I am in the same situation.  I have a legal copy of Adobe Acrobat Preo 9, but can no longer read the disk I made when I first downloaded it.  I downloadeD Adobe Acrobat  9 extended and tried a friends copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 standard.  Neither of them would accept my seria number, which I downloaded from My Adobe.  Dealing with Adobe is ftustrating.

  • Hi, can I install Adobe Acrobat Pro on 2 devices?

    Can I install Adobe Acrobat Pro on 2 devices? I have a desktop running Windows 7 and am thinking of buying a laptop running Windows 8. I would be the sole user and only using one device at a time.

    Yes, the license permits installing on two machines at the same time as long as the same software is not being used on both simultaneously.

  • Pdf printer is not get installed while installing adobe acrobat pro 11 in win 7 32 bit

    pdf printer is not get installed while installing adobe acrobat  pro 11 in win 7 32 bit

    BlackCat,
    Two things:
    1) Acrobat 8 Pro is not Win 7 compatible, no less Win 7 64-bit copmpatible
    2) Reader X and Acrobat 8 are not a supported combination. Reader X and Acrobat X is the first Windows combination that is supported by Adobe. Reader X and Acrobat 8 will cause problems.
    You are using a brand new 64-bit OS, you need to use an application that is designed to work with it. Acrobat X is the way to go, HOWEVER, there are still growing pains with Acrobat X, Win 7 64-bit, and the latest version of Office.

    Hi there
    Thank you for your reply.
    When I click on the link for the cleaner however, before I can download the
    file, it gives me this message:
    "Important - This tool is not for use with any creative suite products
    including suites that contain Acrobat. It can only be used with standalone
